Chapter 368: Doing Business (I)
Song Yi was secretly observing the shopkeeper Han, and the shopkeeper Han of Mengdiezhuang was also wondering what the purpose of these people's trip was?
Shopkeeper Han looked at the four guests in front of him, judging from the tone of his clothes, the best-looking one was the leader, and the other two were slightly older and had a fierce appearance, but they only acted according to the eyes of the good-looking young man.
As for the other, since he entered the store, he has been following closely behind the young man who is the leader, and he has not said a word. Shopkeeper Han speculated that it should be a small house.
After speculating about the identities of the four guests, Shopkeeper Han smiled and asked the young man led by him what he had just said.
Song Yi smiled and said, "The display cabinet doesn't have much memory. We did visit you six years ago. At that time, we also had a conflict with a few guys from your store."
Shopkeeper Han looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly had an impression, vaguely remembering that it was also these people before, but two of them were women.
Shopkeeper Han looked carefully at the young man in front of him, and his skin could be broken by blowing, and now it seems that it is more like a woman dressed as a man.
"It turned out to be an old customer" Shopkeeper Han didn't say anything, but was very curious, what was the guest dressed up like this for?
"Shopkeeper, remember?" Song Yi asked with a smile.
"Don't blame the guest officer. The little ones just remembered. No wonder, when the guest officer came in, the little one felt familiar. Since you are a regular customer, we will give you a discount today. All the guest official consumption, the store will give a 20% discount"
Song Yi listened to the words of the shopkeeper Han and laughed.
Haruka and the others also laughed.
Wang Jun said, "The shopkeeper is still calculating." My brother just now has already said that the things in Mengdie Village are too ordinary, and the men can't look down on them. Do you think a small discount will make you pay? ”
"Big brother, you can't talk like that. After all, it is the shopkeeper who personally speaks and gives us discounts for our old customers. Even if we don't want to, we can't say anything embarrassing," Zhang De continued to work hard.
Shopkeeper Han was very unhappy with the ridicule of the two big men in his heart, and the expression on his face was also very good-looking, but he believed in his own judgment and felt that the more he talked, the less he was the one who called the shots. So, instead of paying attention to the two brothers Wang Jun and Zhang De, he said to Song Yi with a calm face, "Guests, come to patronize our shop." The small ones must be entertained. But if the four of you are here to find faults, please look elsewhere. Small shop small business, sincere business, no jokes"
"Shopkeeper, are you trying to drive us away?" Song Yi asked.
"It stands to reason that all the people who enter the store are customers, and there is no reason for any store to rush out customers. But from the moment you enter the store, you pick and choose and say something inappropriate. I think you're dressed decently, and I think you should be people of status. Maybe the two guys didn't entertain you well just now, which made you unhappy. I also said that I can apologize to all of you. But you're still looking around. This makes me wonder if you are here today not to buy something, but to find something. ”
"Although our shop pays attention to harmony and wealth, if customers think that we are afraid of you, then they are wrong," said the shopkeeper with a stern face.
"The shopkeeper, why don't you want to use the real king's mansion to suppress us?" Song Yi's face remained unchanged, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer.
"Guest, why do you say that? We have been open in Kyoto for decades, and we are always there for our guests, no matter who they are. I have never done anything with the majesty of the Lord's house. Did the guest officer misunderstand? "Shopkeeper Han listened to the other party's words, how could he not hear that they were deliberately looking for trouble. But what can he say? Now that his ready-to-wear shop has become an industry that closes at any time, can he still do nonsense outside in the name of the real king's mansion?
Shopkeeper Han doesn't want to cause trouble, he can't be the shopkeeper, but because of trouble, if the owner closes this shop and rents it to others like other stores, what can these two guys in the store and the people who have been working with the store for a long time?
Shopkeeper Han now has no intention of making money and making a fortune, so he thinks about how to open this old shop that originally belonged to the real king's mansion peacefully. He knows that he has an upright personality, unlike other shopkeepers, who are in the same stream as others and greedy for the property of the Modong family, so he is ignored and looked down upon everywhere. Over the years, the entire store of the True King's Mansion has been losing money, but that is only on the books, and those who are in charge and in charge have made a lot of money. Shopkeeper Han looked angry, and he was soft-spoken, so he could only slowly lose his sharpness and learn to be silent.
Now Mengdiezhuang has been divided into the property of the three-room true king and the real princess. Shopkeeper Han originally wanted to tell the truth to the true king and the real princess. But over the years, not only have I never seen the real king, but I have never seen the real princess. And although Gui's mother is an old man in the palace, she doesn't know anything about business. Shopkeeper Han saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't help it.
These days, Shopkeeper Han has heard that the princess has returned to Beijing. He always thought that the princess could come to check the store, but he couldn't wait, and recently he heard that the princess was pregnant again. Shopkeeper Han was completely dead. felt that the princess was pregnant, so she would not care about the fate of a shop like him.
He was still worrying just now, whether he wanted to accept the invitation of the shopkeeper Li Ji of Li Ji Garment Store in the north of the city and go to him to become the second-in-command.
Unexpectedly, I met today's wave of guests, and it is also the only wave of guests today. Unexpectedly, I met a group of guests who were difficult to speak.
Shopkeeper Han was already unhappy, but now when he saw the guests accusing them of bullying others, how could he admit such an accusation? It's not just about the reputation of the store, it's also about the reputation of the shopkeeper. He didn't want to say those unpleasant words at this critical moment when it was time to go or stay.
So, Shopkeeper Han immediately explained.
Song Yi looked at the shopkeeper's nervous expression and felt very interesting, "Shopkeeper, haven't you forgotten the bullying of the guys in the store back then?" Back then, I said that I would come back. Unexpectedly, after six years, Mengdiezhuang is still the same. As always, there are no guests."
Song Yi's words deeply pierced the shopkeeper's heart. Of course, the shopkeeper hopes that his shop can be crowded with people and customers, but in such a fierce competition in Kyoto, each ready-to-wear shop has its own characteristics, and for Kyoto people who pursue fashion and luxury, the expensive price and unique recognition are the status symbols.
And these things require silver to open the way. Good style, rare materials, exquisite style, which one doesn't need silver?
What Mengdiezhuang lacks now is silver, and without silver, it can't compete with Dayizhuang for people and materials. Only some cheap, ordinary cloth can be obtained. Over time, it has left a stereotype of backwardness, ordinary, and cheap in the minds of customers. Once such an impression is formed, it is fatal for ready-to-wear stores that pursue freshness and fashion.
Shopkeeper Han looked at the son in front of him and said, "Could it be that the son is still obsessed with what happened six years ago?" ”
