39. The aroma of wine also depends on publicity
The two of them have no background or connections in Qingyuan County, and although 10,000 firecrackers were set off on the opening day, it still did not prevent their business from doing coldly.
Although mahjong has been popular in Yong'an City, it has only been a matter of recent months, and it has not yet spread to other states and counties on a large scale in ancient times when communication information was extremely underdeveloped.
Wang Erya blows the dust on the shelves, and the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and the boss who can't advertise is not a good marketer.
There was nothing to do all day, Meng Tianchu was so idle that he dozed off, and when he opened his eyes again, Wang Erya had already made up a bamboo basket, but there was no handle, it was rounder than an ordinary bamboo basket, and there were two small semicircles on the left and right sides of the bottom.
Meng Tianchu walked around and looked closely, but still couldn't understand, "What are you doing?" The mahjong business can't go, and now it's selling bamboo baskets? ”
Wang Erya glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Give it to you, and you'll know what it is tomorrow." ”
Meng Tianchu didn't shudder for any reason, and always felt that Boss Wang's smile was a hidden needle.
After closing the mouth, Wang Erya put the bamboo basket aside, and began to sew and mend a pile of rags found from nowhere.
Seeing that he was stupid, Wang Erya threw him half a piece of broken silver, "Go buy some paper and ink back, it doesn't have to be too good, you can use it, the more the better." ”
Meng Tianchu went out according to his words, found a grocery store, and bought a thick stack of low-grade rice paper. Of course, if he had known what would happen later, he would never have bought so much.
On the second day and the third day, Wang Erya locked herself in the backyard, and Meng Tianchu guarded the shop alone.
said that it was guarded, but it was just daydreaming in broad daylight. After getting up, the problem he thought about the most was how to feed the two of them with the fifteen yuan given by Wang Erya.
On the fourth day, Meng Tianchu didn't bother to get up and open the door, but he was picked up by Wang Erya, who had been in retreat for two days, and threw him something, "Put it on, go out, and hand out leaflets!" ”
……
Meng Tianchu, who was walking on the street, faced the surprised or frightened or curious eyes of passers-by, and his heart was extremely ashamed. He had a huge brown bear head over his head, and he was wearing a patchwork bear suit.
He struggled and refused, but Wang Erya defeated him with only one word.
"If the business can't be done, I'll go back to farming, and you'll be dead on eating cabbage for the rest of your life......"
There were a thousand copies of the leaflets in his hand, at least a thousand copies, and this was only half of all the leaflets.
Although she was complaining, thinking of Boss Wang, who had a swollen wrist, these colorful lists were her hard work, Meng Tianchu still temporarily pressed her self-esteem, stopped passers-by and stuffed the list in her hand into people's arms.
At first, it scared a lot of pedestrians, but gradually, the big guy found that he was not a threat, so he became interested in this strangely dressed guy.
The more people surrounded, it saved him trouble, and he didn't have to go backwards, just with this group of people. Some daring children would rush up and pull his tail, and a few adults would knock him on the head coldly.
Meng Tianchu was anxious, but he hadn't forgotten Wang Erya's instructions, and read aloud to everyone according to the leaflet, "Good news, good news, new fashion from the capital, walk in the forefront of the trend, the ultimate overlord of leisure and entertainment, don't want ten thousand taels of gold, don't want a thousand taels of silver, just nine hundred and ninety-eight wen, you can have the same joy as Sun Guixuan, the king of Yong'an City." Free teaching, teaching and teaching, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a fool......"
Although it was still mid-spring, this puppet costume was airtight, and Meng Tianchu finally finished handing out the flyer in his hand, so he didn't want to faint from the heat. But he really couldn't let go of his face, so he took off his hood in front of outsiders, only sat on the side of the road for a while, and then gritted his teeth and walked back to the shop.
There are already a lot of people gathered at the door, but there are many people outside to watch the excitement, and few people enter the store to choose goods. But this did not affect Wang Erya's passion at all.
She pulled out a banner on the door face, "Opening reward, 50% off, until the church, no reason to refund in seven days." ”
"Don't miss it when you pass by, the little prince of Leyi Wangfu has certified the best entertainment holy relics, and the heavenly sparrows! When the little girl first came to Guibaodi, she sold not gold or silver, but human favors, and made friends with her neighbors.
From today, within 15 days, all the goods in the small store will be sold at a 50% discount, the original price is 998, and now it is only 499 Wen. Ladies and gentlemen, come in and take a look if you don't buy it, the little woman has thanked the big guys here! ”
When many people heard that it was Ning Jinyu's favorite thing, they were interested. This little prince is famous for his straw bales, but he is also famous for playing and enjoying, and the things he likes, the little people are still playing, so you must take a look.
Meng Tianchu had already changed his outfit, Wang Erya left him to greet the guests, and he entered the backyard with a person who was about to move, thinking that he would not play for free anyway.
On this day, noisy and shouting, Meng Tianchu was dizzy and didn't know how many guests he received, and he didn't send the last batch away until dark, closed the door and took inventory, but only sold two sets of mahjong.
There are so many people here, all of them are watching the excitement, and there are very few people who really pay for it. The two of them were so tired that they couldn't get up, and Meng Tianchu was very dissatisfied with such a performance.
Wang Erya didn't care, "Don't care if you don't have money, during this time, what we want is popularity." ”
Early the next morning, Wang Erya opened the door to welcome guests as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and Meng Tianchu was embarrassed to be lazy, put on that set of black history, and continued to distribute leaflets all over the city.
By the tenth day, Meng Tianchu had stopped going out to distribute leaflets. Wang Erya mainly teaches in the backyard, and teaches him to take care of all the front, and at the end of the day, he actually sold eleven sets.
There are still dozens of sets in stock, Wang Erya counted them, but hurriedly sent Meng Tianchu to inform the carpenter, and order another hundred sets, the sooner the better.
The money in his hand has not been covered yet, and he has given it all away with interest, Meng Tianchu wondered, when did this conservative boss become so radical, but Wang Erya only asked him to go back quickly, and he did it.
In the next few days, Meng Tianchu could recognize more and more regular customers, and there were even those who were guarding outside before the door was opened, not for anything else, just to invite a few people to the backyard for a few free games.
After the fifteenth day, Wang Erya removed the banner on the face of the door, and the reward activities ended since then, a set of mahjong is 998 Wen and one less, and the backyard mahjong is charged per capita, and one person has 50 bags of tea.
The guests who had been waiting early were dumbfounded, and Wang Erya smiled apologetically, "The fifteen-day discount has ended, and the small shop is open for business, so you can't keep paying the capital on credit." However, for all of you old customers, I have other preferential plans. Provide recharge discount service, pre-deposit 10 taels 9 discount, pre-deposit 5 taels 7 discount, pre-deposit 100 taels 5 discount......"
Most of the ordinary people are willing to take so much money out to make any pre-deposits. A few of them stomped their feet, stopped playing, left, and some were really itchy, one person paid fifty wen, Wang Erya greeted the guests with a smile, and served tea.
In the first few days, about a quarter of those who came to play every day were willing to spend money, and a handful simply bought mahjong to go back. Counting the whole day, the turnover is actually more than the previous fifteen days combined.
Wang Erya bought meat for Meng Tianchu to eat for the first time, and said, "Wait, it will get better and better later." ”
