Chapter 35: Romance in the Mirror XII
Just when Luo Bei and Lin Shuang were in a dilemma, and they were not sure whether to let Ouyang Lie act as their own perfume, they encountered another big problem.
On Monday afternoon, as soon as Luo Bei and Lin Shuang walked out of the school gate, they received a call from the person in charge of the perfume counter. The person in charge said: All customers who have bought Luobei perfume have a high evaluation of this perfume, and after using it, they have brought relatives and friends to buy it, so Lin Shuang is required to distribute it in large quantities in the future. However, now every perfume produced by Yang Luo has begun to carry out promotional activities, buy one get one free, so many consumers have begun to shift their attention to Yang Luo's perfumes. The person in charge asked Lin Shuang, whether he also wanted to carry out promotional activities for perfumes?
Luo Bei thought about it, whispered "NO" to Lin Shuang, and shook his head gently. Lin Shuang understood, and immediately told the person in charge of the perfume counter clearly: "Our perfume will not do any promotional activities. Because we are confident in our fragrances and believe that time will allow consumers to make the right choice. ”
"That Yang Luo, did you finally notice something?" Lin Shuang hung up the phone, looked at Luo Bei with a solemn expression and said.
"Well, that Yang Luo's sense of smell is very sensitive. He must have bought our perfumes and assessed the cost of making them. As a result, he questioned the price of our perfumes. Because our selling price is indeed much lower than the price of perfume in our peers, Yang Luo began to react. Luo Bei said calmly.
"Luobei, then we really don't need to have a promotion?" Lin Shuang asked.
"No, the more we are promoting in our peers, the more we have to keep the original price and stay put. Only in this way can we show that our perfumes are genuine and free of any moisture. Yang Luo's promotion is to lose money and make money, and the excitement brought is temporary. And we need to take a long-term view, not the short-term effect that is in the moment. Luo Bei calmly analyzed the situation in front of him.
"Well, then we'll calm down. Luobei, you are really strategizing, and you are not flustered at all when you encounter a situation. Lin Shuang looked at Luobei with adoration.
Just as Luo Bei and Lin Shuang finished talking and were about to get into the car, a simple tall boy walked over to them.
"Hello, benefactor! I'm Peter, remember me? The tall boy greeted Luo Bei and Lin Shuang excitedly.
Luo Bei looked at the tall, dark-skinned boy in front of him and recognized him at a glance. Luo Bei once rescued a dying mother on the road. The boy in front of him was the son who was staying by his mother's side at that time.
"Hello, Peter, of course I remember you. Your mother, how is she now? Luo Bei enthusiastically extended his hand to Peter.
Peter held Luo Bei's hand tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my mother would have left me a long time ago." You are our benefactor, thank you so much. Unexpectedly, we were in the same school, and I was a senior in high school. ”
"What a coincidence, we are also juniors in high school. In the future, we can see each other often. Lobei said happily to Peter.
Luo Bei and Lin Shuang both liked the simple boy in front of them. Although his family is poor, it can be felt that he is a kind-hearted child with a good family education.
"Am I bothering you? Go ahead, we'll meet tomorrow and we'll talk! Peter said goodbye and turned away.
Luo Bei pondered for a while, and suddenly shouted at Peter's back, "Peter, wait. ”
When Peter heard Luobei's shouting, he turned around in surprise, returned to Luobei, and asked, "What?" Anything else? ”
Luo Bei smiled and said, "Well, to be exact, it's an invitation, but I don't know if you're willing to join?" In my spare time, I process something. I'm going to need a helper now, and I want you to join, I don't know what you think? I pay the salary, I don't exploit the labor force! ”
Peter listened to Luo Bei's words, looked very excited, and stretched out his hand to Luo Bei: "Okay, it's decided, I'm very willing to join!" It's just, don't mention my salary, I do things for you, as it should be! My mother would be glad to know about it. ”
"Okay, Peter, then we'll be working together every weekend and holiday from now on. However, the salary must be paid, unless our business is finished! Luo Bei patted Peter on the shoulder and laughed.
After the matter was settled, Peter happily waved goodbye to Luo Bei and Lin Shuang again and turned away.
Lin Shuang and Luo Bei got into the car and ran in the direction of going home.
"Peter's kid is so nice, so I want to help him. In this way, their mother and son's life will not be so difficult in the future. Luo Bei held the steering wheel with one hand and handed a bottle of water to Lin Shuang in the back seat with the other.
Lin Shuang took the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a big sip of water. She then said to Luo Bei with admiration: "Luo Bei, your heart is too kind! ”
Just when Luo Bei drove the car into the family courtyard, the person in charge of the perfume counter in Yangcheng called again and asked when Lin Shuang would be able to deliver the goods? Because, there is a female customer who is going abroad the day after tomorrow, and she wants to buy more perfume to give to relatives and friends abroad.
Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment, and replied to the person in charge of the perfume counter that he would go to Yangcheng tomorrow to deliver the goods. Because, the customer's demand is supreme, without the customer, where is the market?
Just as Lin Shuang was about to say goodbye and hang up the phone, the person in charge of the perfume counter said with some embarrassment: "Luo Luo, I am with President Ouyang Lie now. He came to me mainly to find out what your company's intentions were for the perfume agency. He wants to talk to you on the phone now, is that okay? ”
Before Lin Shuang could reply, Ouyang Lie's magnetic voice came from the phone: "Hello, Miss Luo Luo, I'm Ouyang Lie." If you can decide now, whether you are willing to let me be the general agent of your perfume in the province, we will sign a contract tomorrow. If we work together, I will pay you 1 million a year in agency fees. In the next step, if the perfume sales are considerable, I am also ready to be your national general agent. ”
God, there will be an agency fee of 1 million per year! Lin Shuang secretly exclaimed in her heart, but without Luobei's consent, she didn't dare to make an arbitrary decision.
"Hello, President Ouyang. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to work with you. However, for such an important matter, I need to seek the advice of my superiors. Otherwise, I'll call you back later, okay? Lin Shuang said politely.
"Okay, then I'll call you again in ten minutes! Can you tell me your phone number now? Ouyang Lie said calmly.
"Ah, of course." Lin Shuang then told Ouyang Lie his phone number.
Lin Shuang hung up the phone and saw that Luo Bei was thinking quietly.
"Lin Shuang, we accept Ouyang Lie's cooperation. In this way, through his energy, our perfumes can be quickly promoted. What's more, the agency fee he paid was really considerable. You tell me? Luo Bei asked Lin Shuang's opinion.
"Well, Luobei, I think so too. With this agency fee, we can buy more and better perfume raw materials, and we can also expand the scale of perfume production. Lin Shuang put her hands on Luo Bei's shoulders and said excitedly.
Luo Bei stopped the car in silence, leaned heavily on the backrest, and said nothing.
"Luobei, are you worried about me?" Lin Shuang asked empathetically.
"Well, yes. Nothing worries me except you. If you want to sign a contract tomorrow, you will definitely need to show your ID card, do you want to use Lin Shuang's ID card to sign the contract? Also, when a large amount of money is involved in the future, it is normally through bank transfer. But your bank account is opened in Lin Shuang's name. As soon as we show your account, Ouyang Lie can find out your real identity information. ID card, we don't dare to show it. If you make a fake document, then Ouyang Lie can also find out, and you don't even have to think about it. Luo Bei frowned and said blankly.
"Perhaps, the reason why that Ouyang Lie spent a lot of money to cooperate with us is that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." Lin Shuang's face also became solemn at this moment.
"Yes, what he's really curious about is who you are. Otherwise, how would he invest in making our perfumes? Luo Bei turned around and looked at Lin Shuang.
"However, we can't deny that Ouyang Lie is our best helper to defeat Yang Luo. Through his means, we can quickly expand our perfume market, thereby enhancing our strength. If we were to do these things ourselves, it would take a lot of time to do them. Lin Shuang stared at Luo Bei's eyes and said slowly.
Luo Bei lowered his head indifferently, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Lin Shuang, I'm too scared to lose you, I don't want to lose you. That Ouyang Lie is too aggressive, I'm afraid he will eventually take you away. The competition between me and him is not advantageous in itself. It's only because you're willing to sacrifice for me that we'll be together. Due to my special status, I can't show up in Yangcheng. Everything has to be negotiated by you, and it is too hard and too dangerous for you. Luo Bei said reproachfully.
"No, Luobei, I didn't feel hard, but I felt very proud in my heart. Because, we are doing something meaningful, we are helping others, saving others. Lin Shuang leaned forward emotionally, grabbed Luo Bei's cold fingers and said.
"Alas, Lin Shuang, I've wronged you so much! Tomorrow, if you sign the contract with Ouyang Lie, are you going to come back with 1 million cash? What if you meet a bad guy? Luo Bei's face was worried.
"I just came back with the 1 million cash, and it wasn't difficult. What I'm worried about is not this, but how will I ask for leave from school tomorrow? Our school requires the parents to sign the student's leave request, and it is impossible for the parents to agree to us skipping class. Lin Shuang pouted, her eyes looking at the sky.
Luo Bei was originally full of sadness, but when he saw Lin Shuang's ridiculous appearance, he couldn't help laughing again.
"Forget it, Lin Shuang, let's not think about it. Don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow has its own worries, and one day's difficulties are enough. Ever heard of this phrase? Luo Bei smiled with relief.
Of course Lin Shuang had heard of this sentence. She muttered these words silently, and her heart suddenly brightened.
Ten minutes later, Ouyang Lie called.
Lin Shuang firmly told Ouyang Lie that the company had decided to accept Ouyang Lie's provincial agent and would sign the contract tomorrow morning.
