Chapter 410: Bamboo Stick Incense
Zeng Lao looked at him in surprise and felt very strange, why didn't he do business?
The boss seemed to see through Zeng Lao's thoughts, and said to himself: "It's not that you don't do any business, but you do all the business, and you will offend everyone around you, and if you join forces to deal with you, you won't be able to resist." I have yellow paper as my main product, and my income is already very good. If you do other businesses well, how can people do business? If you let others have a business to do, you can be harmonious and make money!"
Zeng Lao was stunned for a long time before he said, "Is this also considered harmony and wealth?"
"Doesn't count?"
The boss asked rhetorically, a little surprised.
"Count?"
Zeng Lao seemed to be talking to himself this time, but he quickly said: "This is a tacit understanding of doing business at best, right? It's like doing furniture business, I make mahogany furniture, but I have fir wood, walnut, oak, elm, camphor wood, beech, pine, and ash in my shop...... Both, but my signature is mahogany furniture, and mine sells the best. Other furniture stores on the same street also have these solid wood types, including mahogany furniture, but his mahogany furniture is not as good as mine. But their pine and fir furniture will sell better than mine. It's supposed to be an agglomeration effect, not a harmony effect, right?"
This boss obviously has a low level of education, and when Zeng Lao said this, he immediately turned dizzy: "You always have a point, I have always understood it this way......"
"But it's not wrong to say that harmony makes money, one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to drink, everyone understands. If everyone swarms to do a business, then in the end, no one will be able to do it, or even lose money......" Zeng Lao said with a smile, "This is what economics says...... Said ...... Oops, forgot about ...... for a while"
"Product segments?"
Tang Chen was born in finance, but he was more familiar with Zeng Lao's theory.
"That's right, it's a market segment!" Zeng Lao also remembered, "Different people have different needs, and this can not only avoid vicious competition, but also enable everyone to make money together." I think a good agglomeration effect is not for everyone to make a product, but to create their own characteristic ...... around a large commodity."
Zeng Lao's tirade, the boss was confused when he heard it, like falling into a fog. Fortunately, the general idea is still understood, that is, it is not wrong to praise him for his choice, and if he does a good job in the yellow paper business, he will definitely make money.
"Then you should always be a big boss, right?"
The owner of this feng shui shop looked at Zeng Lao with a little admiration, looking like he had seen an idol.
"The boss can't talk about it, it's just that he has a little experience in doing business...... Zeng Lao said modestly, but behind this modesty, he has absolute confidence in his own theory. He is the first group of people in China to go to the sea, and he is also the group of people who are still active in the market after industrial transformation. Practice brings true knowledge, and Zeng Lao has long formed a set of theories for doing business on his own.
The boss asked him for advice: "Then can you give me a tip, the specialty of my shop, one is yellow paper, and the other is bamboo sticks." Something else...... It doesn't seem to sell very well. ”
When Tang Chen heard this, he immediately said, "Bamboo stick incense, what kind of bamboo stick incense, can you show me?"
The boss hesitated, then turned around and took down a pile of loose bamboo sticks from the shelf.
Tang Chen opened the "Qi Viewing Technique" and looked at it, and was a little stunned. Although this kind of bamboo stick incense is not as good as the aged incense found in Panzhou before, it also condenses a little aura.
"This is a handmade incense?!" Tang Chen couldn't help but blurt out and asked.
The boss looked up at Tang Chen in surprise and looked at it carefully before asking tentatively, "This little brother is also a companion, right?"
Zeng Lao smiled: "It's not your peers, don't worry." Don't look at his young age, but he's a feng shui master......"
Tang Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not a master, it's just a feng shui guy who knows how to read feng shui, or an amateur, my main business is to operate magic instruments...... After that, Tang Chen gave a business card to the past, and the boss took it and looked at it, before he was relieved.
"This bamboo stick incense is indeed made by hand, and it is also with the help of my family that I can produce so many thousands of sticks a month. "This boss seems to be humble, but there is also a bit of pride in it.
Tang Chen also nodded, this handmade bamboo skewer incense is thankless, and it is a small family workshop, and it is already very good to be able to make thousands of branches. He picked up a bamboo stick incense, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then said with a wry smile: "You are a Hehe incense, right?
The boss nodded: "That's true, the cost remains high, bark powder, sandalwood, star anise, fennel, etc., all have to be refined to become flavors." The incense of my family can only be counted as a finished product after drying, drying, and removing water. Ordinary people make offerings or sacrifices, and the incense products used are often composed of a variety of ingredients, and the incense products made by those machines are also similar to the formula. However, I use a variety of botanical fragrances, have a fixed formula, and will never be mixed with animal secretions or flesh-made spices, nor will they be adulterated with other substances that will emit a foul smell or have no aroma. After all, each kind of Hehe incense has its specific effect, and each has its own unique name, and the common Hehe incense products are obstacle removal incense, Manjushri incense, pharmacist incense, etc. What this little master is holding in his hand is ordinary sandalwood. ”
Tang Chen nodded and said, "I can't use Buddhism's obstacle removal incense, Manjushri incense, medicine master incense or anything, just this sandalwood." ”
"Okay!"
When the boss saw that he could make a business again, he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth. "This little master, I still have agarwood here, do you want it?"
Tang Chen knew that the agarwood he was talking about should be a bamboo stick incense mixed with agarwood, so he thought about it and said, "Is there a sample?"
The boss said, "I'll look for ......"
Just when the boss was looking for bamboo stick incense, Zeng Lao asked in a low voice, "Master Tang, is this bamboo stick incense good?"
Tang Chen said in a low voice: "Although this kind of bamboo stick incense is not as good as those in my 'Sanhe Ju', after all, it has been aged for twenty years. But it's not far off, and it even has an aura on it. I just don't know how the price is......"
"Money is not a problem!" For a "big rich man" like Zeng Lao, things that can be solved with money are not a problem.
Tang Chen said with a smile: "Since you have to make sufficient preparations, you have to use the best things. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!"
"That's right!" In fact, Zeng Lao still thought that he had earned it. Take the copper furnace just now, it is not only an antique, but also a magic weapon, and it is definitely worth the price. As for the two peach talismans that Tang Chen found, Zeng Lao was embarrassed to take them, after all, they came with gifts and didn't cost money. The most important thing is that this is what Tang Chen has taken a fancy to. Even if Tang Chen took away the small copper furnace that Zeng Lao was carrying, he would not have a word of complaint.
Sometimes being a man is to judge the situation, although Zeng Lao is not a wall grass, but in dealing with people, he thinks that he will not be truthful. After all, Tang Chen still has to solve the feng shui dilemma for him, if he takes Tang Chen's two peach talismans as his own, wouldn't he be asking for his own hardship? Because of the small loss of the big, it is impossible to do it.
Besides, was there always a shortage of millions of people?
