Chapter 274: It's a Tea Party, and It's a Hot Sale!
Since it's a big tea party, of course, it can't be as relaxed as when two or three friends sit together and drink tea. www.biquge.info In fact, in addition to the position of the podium, where the three master craftsmen sit and perform their tea ceremony, there are also many small tables below, where the disciples of the three master craftsmen entertain guests.
This includes the seven disciples of Sen no Rikyu who are known as the "Rikyu Seven Philosophers", and of course there are also the apprentices of Imai Munehisa and Tsuda Soyoshi. These people are also famous tea people, and their tea ceremony is also very high, which can give people a very comfortable feeling.
During the tea party, Linlin set up a large number of artworks at the venue for everyone to enjoy, making the scene like a museum. But as soon as these things were put out, it wasn't the same as it was in Sukezaemon's shop.
The same thing, sold in a store, is full of copper smell, and in a museum, it is art!
Naturally, the reception work was done by the veteran Sukezaemon, and Linlin stood on an inconspicuous high place, quietly observing the reactions of the target customers below.
She has a very good business acumen and a sharp eye, and she can tell at a glance which person is interested in which thing and how likely they are to buy it. A staff member was then dispatched to inform Sukezaemon of the information.
After drinking tea, Sukezaemon went over to talk to him as the host, trying to get a better understanding of the other party's background, and then fed back to Linlin. Finally, draw up a battle plan.
If it were possible, Sukezaemon would casually mention that Munehisa Imai seems to have been running out of money lately and may be interested in transferring the artworks.
Then he hurriedly pretended to be a gaffe and covered his mouth, indicating that he just accidentally blew a mouth, and that there was no business problem at the Imai Sohisa store, and he hoped that the other party would not be concerned.
If ordinary people listen to it, it's just that, no matter how poor Imai Munehisa is, he is also a wealthy businessman, and he is richer than himself. But this is a trap that Linlin has carefully made, and it falls on the ears of art lovers, and what they hear is not the management problem of Imai Munehisa, but the intention to sell this artwork.
The target customer must be very fond of that item, so Lin Lin sent Saemon to talk about it. Therefore, when the target customer hears it, there is a chance that they will immediately become interested.
Sukezaemon is just a branch manager, and his status is not high. To sell art independently in his capacity, people generally don't buy it.
But the name of "the world's three masters" is there, and everyone knows that the three of them have a lot of good things in their hands, and it is more acceptable to take them out. And these things are really put out there, and they are all valuable works of art. If the target customer is not really knowledgeable, they will not like it so much. And even if those nouveau riche didn't understand it, they all inquired about it through the people next to them and knew that it was really a good thing.
Sukezaemon showed his mouth at this time, as if it was a big bargain falling from the sky, and if he didn't pick it up, it would be a loss.
Of course, even if these target customers want to buy, they can't swagger up to Sohisa Imai and say, "Hey, are you selling that?" "It's quite rude. Everyone is in the art world, and no one can do this.
So they can only be close to the Sukezaemon set, knocking on the side and saying that they want to help Saemon help operate from it, of course, the benefit fee is absolutely indispensable to him.
Sukezaemon also had to say, "No, this is the master's thing, and we workers can't be the master." ”
But he refused to refuse the matter to death, and had to shirk it a few times, only waiting for the target customer to give him three times and twice, and then he said: "Okay, I'll help you ask." But whether it will work out or not, I can't guarantee it. ”
But he knew in his heart that the business was done.
Of course, he couldn't just wrap the thing and give it to someone to take away, but he hung the man's appetite first, and only waited for the tea party to end before he came to find someone and quoted him a high price.
"It took me a lot of effort to get you here." While helping Saemon kill people, he also wants to sell personal favors.
If the target customer agrees in one bite, he will say that this is the main price, and I will not benefit from it at all, and then charge a thank you fee.
If the target customer was embarrassed, Sukezaemon said, "You begged me, and the master said that it really can't be sold without this price." ”
If the target customer really can't afford it, he hesitates and decides not to buy it, so Sukezaemon says, "That's it, just think of me as a friend, and I don't want any commission." And then use that to give the customer a small discount.
If the customer really wants to buy, he will buy it without a discount. Sukezaemon's coy gesture was just to push him. The buyer had to say, "Brother, you have worked hard to help me, how can you suffer?" "Then I have to pay more commissions to Sukezaemon.
But if he really doesn't want to buy it, Sukezaemon is useless to break the sky, but he also falls behind. So Sukezaemon didn't get angry, but said, "Things have a price, but love is priceless." Even if I didn't help you this time, I'll pay it back by myself. ”
Although the things are not sold, he can still make personal favors.
But Linlin's vision is still accurate, so there are still many things sold.
The real headache is that there are multiple people who have their eyes on one item at the same time, and Sukezaemon has to use his nature as a profiteer to mediate between them, constantly probing several people to find out their expectations, and then selling them to the person with the highest price. As for the others, they can only say sorry and drop by to sell other artworks that didn't get selected.
After the tea party was over, Sukezaemon was not in a hurry to ship, and he had to wait for the actual money to be received, so he sent someone to wrap the things and secretly send them to the customer.
In this way, Sukezaemon sold more than half of his stock at once during a tea party.
Naturally, what is left cannot be wasted.
Isn't there still a part of the people who haven't bought brochures and can't participate in the big tea party?
They are good target customers.
Sukezaemon found someone to draw the rest of the artwork into a beautiful album, and then used it to sell it to the less explosive households. It's just that these are all works of art that were once placed at the big tea party, and I have a way to get them out, but they may be a little more expensive.
Those who didn't get the brochure heard that the tea party was a great success, and many friends around them who participated in it got rare things. is secretly annoyed, I heard that there is such a way, naturally I can't miss it.
As a result, the follow-up sales of Sukezaemon were also very successful.
