Chapter Forty-Nine: Return to Sandy Forest City
This is the fifteenth day that Xu Dong has left the Sand Forest City, and he has bid farewell to the regrouped Red Shaqian, and returned to this city-state that still exudes infinite vitality in the yellow sand.
Xu Dong, who was about to line up to enter the city, saw a huge banner with bright colors hanging on the city wall from a distance. He looked at it, and there was a line of conspicuous text written on the huge banner that almost occupied a piece of the city wall: "Xu's equipment shop is a big reward for opening, and in the first five days of opening, all external equipment will be sold at a 20% discount, and a large number of forging materials will be purchased, and the price is favorable!" ”
At the gate of the city, there were ten people shouting loudly, and the content of the shouting was the content of the banner.
Xu Dong smiled lightly, and had the illusion of returning to the earth and walking on the commercial street, "Sure enough, there is money to make the ghost grind." ”
This was exactly the marketing method that Xu Dong taught Wang Bufan, paying the city lord for advertising and obtaining permission for banners and shouting at the city gates. In fact, this is also a win-win situation for one family and two affordable families, the city lord doesn't have to spend his brains, naturally there is a lot of money, why not?
Xu Dong queued up all the way, and also heard the whispers of many adventurers and merchants, and the focus of the discussion was indeed Xu's equipment shop. That's what he's happy to see.
After paying the entrance fee to the city, Xu Dong entered the city gate, and immediately a smiling little fart boy came up, "Xu's product must be a high-quality product, my lord, do you need to buy external equipment?" ”
Xu Dong looked up, and there were twenty or thirty other people who were also approached by the little boy, and they said the above words in a similar way. And these little kids are very poisonous, and the people they pick are either adventurers or traders carrying materials. And those who were exceptionally brightly dressed or had a relatively large convoy did not go up to solicit customers.
Xu Dong nodded secretly again, "In entrepreneurship, it is better for customers to lock in adventurers or merchants who run orders, otherwise it is easy to anger the local merchant group." ”
Xu Dong looked down at the child, nodded and said, "Yes, I just happened to buy foreign equipment." Where is your Xu's equipment rolled out? ”
The little boy's eyes lit up, and for every guest he pulled, he could get a copper honorarium. At that moment, he immediately shouted to one of the horsemen in the neatly arranged carriage convoy not far away: "Uncle Ma, Uncle Ma, this adult wants to go to the Xu Equipment Shop, please help me carry it." ”
After greeting him, he didn't forget to explain to Xu Dong: "My lord, our Xu family's equipment is spread out in the civilian area, and I will arrange for you to take our special seat." Don't worry, this is free, and we apologize for any inconveniences. ”
Many people originally refused, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and God knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Xu's equipment shop. However, as soon as they hear the word free, most of the people who refuse are moved. It's free anyway, so it's okay to take a look.
This is another Xu Dong idea.
The banners and the shouters at the city gate are there to promote Hui's, while the children and special buses here make it easy for guests to reach Hui's. The two-pronged approach immediately solved the problem of the remote location of Xu's equipment shop.
Walking over, Xu Dong saw a total of thirteen carriages, each carriage was parked in a parking space with the words "Xu's equipment", whether it was the style of the carriage or even the groom's clothing, they were all uniformly designed, just like work clothes, playing a role in propaganda.
Xu Dong got into the carriage, and the little boy respectfully helped him close the door. At this time, his face was covered with dirt and dust, and his body was dusty and he couldn't see the original color of his clothes, just like a poor adventurer, who still received such respect and courtesy, compared to other people's stores, it was really different.
Whether it is a poor person or a rich person, as long as he wants to go to Xu's equipment shop, he must be a good guest. For this reason, it is already worth a thumbs up!
Of course, in the process of going to Xu's family, Xu Dong also met a small number of scoundrel guests, who occupied the carriage and did not get off when they arrived at the ground. Such a villain, the Xu family did not act in private, but solved it through the patrolmen.
It can be seen that the directors of the order shelter should also have received a valuable red envelope.
When he came to Xu's equipment shop, Xu Dong subconsciously looked up. When he left, the shop was still under emergency renovations.
If anything...... Xu Dong only thought of two words: high-end atmosphere and grade.
On both sides of the red carpet, there are beautiful women dressed in a water, they are beautiful and lovely, with sweet smiles, no matter who they are, as long as they are guests at the Xu's equipment shop, they can get a respectful response.
The sales hall is divided into two areas according to the first and second floors. The large area is divided into two types: armor and weapons. There is also a subdivision under Armor and Weapons. As long as you are not stupid, you can find the equipment you want to buy by yourself, not to mention that there is a passionate beauty shopping guide next to you.
The scene was unexpectedly hot!
It was only at this time that Xu Dong's hanging heart was put down.
Xu Dong walked around the sales hall, and the beautiful shopping guide kept telling every step of the way, without the slightest hint of impatience.
"Alright, I'll just walk around by myself." Xu Dong smiled and let the shopping guide leave. The shopping guide respected Xu Dong's opinion very much, and returned to the main gate after a gift.
Xu Dong walked up to the second floor alone. There is also a shopping guide waiting at the entrance of the second floor, and the same sweet smile is first seen when you see the customer.
Compared to the popularity of the first floor, the second floor is much more deserted, with only a dozen or twenty guests arguing with the staff about the price.
According to his previous design, the second floor was a hall for purchasing materials, the third floor was a workshop for craftsmen to build equipment, and the fourth floor was an office area. Xu Dong went to the fourth floor in a row, and soon he saw Wang Bufan.
Wang Bufan's face was excited, "My lord, are you back?" ”
Xu Dong nodded, "Well, I just came back." I was pulled in by the little guys at the city gate. ”
Ha ha! Wang Bufan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What do you think, what do you think, it was completely arranged according to your previous instructions." ”
Xu Dong couldn't help but stretch out his hand and patted the kid on the shoulder twice to encourage him, "You kid is good, really good, you can make such a big group of people for you in just ten days." I'll just say, you're very talented. ”
Without good ideas, you can't do things only by working hard, but you can't do things with only good ideas and lacking the motivation to work hard. Xu Dong just provided ideas, but the specific operation was Wang Bufan himself. Going to the city lord's mansion to persuade the city lord to allow the hanging of advertisements, to dredge up relations with the order shelter, and then to recruit and train employees, all of them were operated by Wang Bufan alone. This is a pleasant surprise and admiration.
There were quite a few people in the office area who stopped what they were doing and looked at this side one by one.
"Who is this guy, how dare you talk to the big shopkeeper like this?"
"How come I've never seen him, is he an old friend of the big treasurer?"
Wang Bufan remembered something, and patted his head, "By the way, my lord, I almost forgot to introduce you." As he spoke, he brought Xu Dong to everyone and introduced loudly: "This is the owner of our Xu's equipment shop, Lord Xu." Hurry up and see Lord Xu. ”
It turns out that he is Lord Xu! All the employees stood up and saluted. They know how good this owner is. It is the wonderful idea of the owner that this Xu's equipment shop can settle in Sand Forest City.
After the introduction, Wang Bufan pulled Xu Dong to the quiet room, and the smug smile on his face immediately retracted, "Since the adults happened to come to Xu's today, then I will report to you about the current situation by the way." The net profit of these days is about 30,000 gold coins after deducting advertising expenses, dredging money, and employee salaries. ”
Wang Bufan explained the various expenses and benefits to Xu Dong in detail.
Xu Dong nodded calmly after hearing this, "You continue." ”
Finally, Wang Bufan's face showed a sad look, "The profit of 30,000 gold coins is really too little." We are now making small profits but quick turnover, but once we have passed the stage of opening a big reward, if the price is raised, I am afraid that customers will not be willing to come, and Xu's will not be able to hold on immediately. This is one of them. The second is that the materials are running out, although our purchase price is 10% higher than the market, but it just doesn't attract many traders and adventurers who are willing to sell here, they all have fixed sellers. ”
Wang Bufan said a little dryly, and after pouring himself a glass of water, he hurriedly said, "My lord, you have to think of a way to do this." ”
Xu Dong thought for a while and said: "One thing I want to be sure of, if Xu's products are compared with those in other stores, who is better?" ”
Wang Bufan pondered for a moment and said, "Compared to most equipment stores, our Xu's is much more sophisticated. That's for sure. Only the equipment produced by the largest Bafang equipment shop in the city can barely compare with the equipment produced by our Xu family. It's just that the price is about 10% higher than before our discount. ”
Xu Dong nodded, "In other words, Xu's production is the best place in Sand Forest City, right?" ”
After saying this, Xu Dong put forward his own opinions on the above questions: "Wasn't you very interested in membership before? Now you can try it and keep the customer's heart at Hsu's. In addition, the Adventurer Alliance branch should also be contacted there, and the cooperation between the two sides is a win-win situation. It can not only solve the problem of sales, but also solve the problem of materials. At the same time, the Mondo Temple of the Holy Church is also a good partner to work with, you know, in the eyes of those preachers, the common people are also an important resource. ”
After receiving Xu Dong's reminder, Wang Bufan's eyes became brighter and brighter, like two blazing torches. He is a smart person, but his inherent thinking has not yet jumped out of the current mode, and he only needs a simple mention from others, and he will naturally burst out with all kinds of wonderful ideas again.
Xu Dong smiled knowingly, "But the problem of materials is now imminent, and my fifteen days have not been in vain, for the sake of Xu's family, I really almost lost my old life." Later, you can go to the second floor and take inventory, I can bring back a lot of good materials. ”
