Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mysterious Incense Seller

The experts in the front row stood impassionedly for the products and signed books. Books that introduce products and health regimens, but I don't see the products.

It was almost noon when the experts left.

Dong Hao and his party were also called out.

I saw Wang Meiren holding a stack of thick envelopes and handing them out to the experts with a smile.

Li Zimao shook hands with the experts one by one at the entrance of the Great Hall, and invited them to take a car to other hotels for dinner, and after the meal, a car would be arranged to take them to the airport or train station.

Li Zimao needs to stay and have lunch with the dealers in the banquet hall of the Great Hall.

"The role of experts is over, and the investment promotion in the afternoon is the key." Dong Hao commented on the side. "Guess how much money is in that envelope?"

"Almost twenty thousand." Jia Dong Road. "We at Yu's Pharmaceutical also have to pay for the lectures of experts when we hold a satellite conference. I didn't give so much, and I still have to file their taxes. ”

Then Jia Dong said: "We are all in-service medical personnel, and your father is a retired official." These so-called retired ministers are very busy. ”

After sending off all the experts, only Li Zimao and Dong Hao were left.

Li Zimao walked up to Dong Hao and said, "There is a business promotion in the afternoon, I want to go to the banquet hall to accompany the dealers, you can do it yourself in the afternoon." ”

"What, don't you care about us?" Li Li whispered to Jia Dong.

Li Zimao said to Dong Hao again: "You came to me, does your mother know?" ”

Dong Hao stared at Li Zimao with blazing eyes: "My surname is Dong, and my father knows." ”

"It's over, it's over." Lili whispered again.

"If you don't leave tomorrow, let's find time to talk." Li Zimao said.

"Let's go to Lingyin Temple." Wan Qiaoer broke the embarrassment in time.

They drove to Lingyin Temple, and everyone was silent.

On the way, Lili reminds everyone that it's time for lunch. Li Li likes to eat stinky tofu, and she said that the stinky tofu in Suzhou and Hangzhou is even more delicious.

It takes less than 20 minutes from the Great Hall to Lingyin Temple.

"You can't go to the temple to eat." Jia Dong Road. "Let's go around the mountain road to see if there is a restaurant. After all, this is a tourist area. ”

They went around the mountain road and did see an antique restaurant, called Guangyuan Zhai.

The meals were tasty. The shopkeeper is a layman, and his family's fasting food tastes oily but not greasy.

These carnivores were having a good time.

After the meal, the store gave each of them a golden amulet of Maitreya Buddha, saying that it was fate.

The four of them asked how to get to Lingyin Temple, and the shopkeeper said, "You park your car here, there is a trail that can go up the mountain and lead directly to Lingyin Temple." ”

The four of them went up the hill along the trail. On the road, a woman dressed as a Taoist aunt stopped them.

"Are you going to Lingyin Temple?" Dao Gu asked.

"yes." Lili replied innocently. "Isn't it Lingyin Temple when you go up here?"

"You didn't even bring incense, you're not religious." Dao Gu said. "Lingyin Temple is very spiritual, you have to burn incense when you go in."

"Isn't there any incense selling at the temple gate?" Lili asked curiously.

"How can you buy incense?" Dao Gu was very dissatisfied with Li Li's words. "Incense is please."

Lili knew that she had said the wrong thing and was silent.

"My fragrance here is very good." With that, she pulled out a black plastic bag. There are a few handfuls of black incense in it. "The incense must be sincere."

"How much?" Lili asked. Suddenly I realized that I had said the wrong thing again. "How much does it cost?"

"Two hundred dollars a handful." Dao Gu said. "Please give each of you a handful."

"Okay." Without waiting for Jiadong to refute, Li Li readily agreed.

The four of them each carried a black plastic bag and came to the gate of Lingyin Temple reverently. After Wan Qiaoer bought the ticket.

After checking their black plastic bags, the staff said, "There is incense in the temple. ”

"That is, do you still want to ask for incense when you go in?" Lili asked in a whisper.

"The incense of the temple is free to take, and in the end, the incense of the temple is used, and it is not safe outside." The staff explained.

The four of them suddenly realized that they had just met a liar.

"Aunt Dao sells incense at the gate of the temple, shouldn't she dress up as a nun?" After entering the Lingyin Temple, Jia Dong said suddenly.

The crowd laughed.

"When people become superstitious, they lose their judgment." Dong Hao said.

"You mean the dealers?" Jiadong asked Dong Hao. "I know that there is no product, but I am still so positive and enthusiastic."

"I mean, their downline." Dong Hao said. "Everyone buys a product not to use, but to sell it to the downline. So what the product is, they don't care. They care about the company's promotional efforts, marketing policies, and product profits. ”

Along the way, only Lili was worshipping the Buddha devoutly. In almost every temple, she went in and bowed, and then donated some incense money.

Jia Dong couldn't understand where she got all those five and ten dollar bills.

Jia Dong threw a few hundred-yuan bills in the merit boxes of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Medicine Master Hall.

Dong Hao stayed at the gate of the Heavenly King Hall and waited for everyone, but did not go in.

Seeing that Dong Hao was preoccupied, Wan Qiaoer didn't bother him, and went to Sanshengshi to ask for marriage.

At night, the four of them looked around for stinky tofu and finally found it in a Ningbo restaurant. Lili had a good meal.

Early the next morning, the four of them finished breakfast and walked to the office building next to them, where Wang Meiren was waiting for them early.

After bringing Dong Hao into Li Zimao's office, Wang Meiren didn't stay this time and went out quietly.

After the four of them sat down, they saw a bright product packaging on the coffee table.

Dong Hao didn't wait for Li Zimao to agree, so he took the product packaging.

It's very heavy to hold, Dong Hao thought to himself, is it all stainless steel or glass?

After opening it, I realized that there were dozens of beautifully printed books inside. All kinds of health knowledge, product recipes, professional organization certifications, expert recommendations. These books are more than a dozen pounds.

The product design is complicated, and it just smells of plastic.

Each plastic part is not easy to assemble and install, and it is all over the ground.

Fortunately, Li Zimao's office has a luxurious Persian carpet, and the plastic parts are not broken.

Looking at the retail price, it is written as 4999 yuan. This is still the cheapest one at home.

The most expensive one costs 100,000 yuan, and it is said that it is used by the store.

Li Zimao said that he has a lot of small stores in the city that "drink" out of health, and the 100,000 yuan machine is used in the stores.

"The production cost of this machine should be about 100 yuan. Remove office operating costs, as well as distribution network costs. Should the profit be above 30%? Dong Hao asked.

"It's not that high. Dealers take the lion's share, and the profit is almost 20%. Li Zimao said.

"Yesterday 1,500 dealers attended. With an average of 50,000 yuan per person, yesterday's income was 75 million. Profit 15 million. Is that right? Dong Hao asked again.

"Well, yesterday the income exceeded 100 million." Li Zimao admired this son very much.

"This product is a lie." Dong Hao said. "It's better than the juicer I bought for 200 yuan."

"I'm not breaking the law, the production, pricing, and sales of products are all legal." Li Zimao said. "How can someone buy it and become a liar."

Dong Hao also felt that he was overbearing.

"But it's not going to last long. A product that someone buys, but no one uses, is short-lived. Jia Dong asked. You won't buy a batch and just do it. ”

"It's really not a long-term product, and it also has a product patent." Li Zimao said.

Then Li Zimao asked Jiadong again: "You are Yu Jiguang's son, right?" Not everyone is like your father and finds the right patented product. It's quite hard for you Yu's Pharmaceutical to run it. Prescription drugs are not profiteering products like health foods. ”

"It seems that Chairman Li has investigated us all clearly." Yu Jiadong said stupidly.

After everyone learned about the product, Jia Dong suggested that the three of them go out to play and leave Dong Hao behind.

Li Zimao and Dong Hao acquiesced.
