Chapter 4: A bet with her
I sat on the stone steps on the side of the road and looked down at the phone that had been hung up. I still can't help but recall everything that Chen Lan and I used to be. At that time, we all believed in love, and we stubbornly believed that we were destined to stay together for the rest of our lives. But now, love is shattered in the face of reality!
Love on a dog day!
Just as I was looking down and thinking. A pair of straight, slender legs in high heels floated past my eyes. Even though I'm at rock bottom now, I can't help but stare at my beautiful legs a few times.
Because I've always been in the advertising industry, I still know a little bit about luxury. This is a pair of Gucci women's shoes. The price of this pair of shoes is about half my salary.
The heels stopped in front of the watermelon stand. As soon as I looked up, I saw a beautiful woman in high heels standing in front of a watermelon stand, followed by a girl who looked like an assistant.
I was a little curious about how the president of an advertising agency could come to the watermelon stand with his assistant. The high-heeled beauty didn't seem to notice me. I heard her say to the stall owner, "Pick a few big watermelons in a while and send them to the Olam International next to it......
As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant immediately stepped forward to pay 200 yuan and told the stall owner not to look for it. The high-heeled beauty took a parasol from the assistant's hand, handed it to the hostess and said, "Give the child some umbrellas, otherwise it will damage the child's ......."
That's when I understood. This high-heeled beauty didn't really want to buy watermelon, she should be passing by, looking at this family a little pitiful, so she had the move just now.
A few watermelons are only a few dozen dollars. The stall owner is not bad, he is not a money-grubbing person. He and his assistant refused to accept so much money.
And I stood up and said behind the high-heeled beauty. "Mr. An is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, this is learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds......"
Anyone can hear the sarcasm in my words.
The high-heeled beauty turned around, and when she saw that it was me, she immediately frowned, and her eyes became cold. You can tell she hates me. The assistant next to me also looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze.
She looked at me and didn't speak. I laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued, "Mr. An is so kind-hearted, I don't know if I will continue to buy watermelons tomorrow?" Otherwise, you just have to buy all their watermelons, and you won't be short of these watermelons anyway......"
The high-heeled beauty obviously did a good deed, but I don't know why, I just wanted to taunt her. may be because of today's interview, which was suddenly interrupted by her. Maybe it's because in her eyes, I'm just a bad character, and my self-esteem is at work. She still didn't speak. But the assistant next to her asked me with a displeased face, "What are you doing?" How do we do it, does it have anything to do with you? ”
I sneered and didn't bother with my assistant. The high-heeled beauty stared at me, and she asked coldly, "What do you mean?" ”
I don't know what I mean! But I still said strongly, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, I think Mr. An understands better than anyone else, right?" Do you think you can really help them by buying a few watermelons? ”
After saying that, I sneered again. Then, turn around and get ready to go. As soon as I moved, I heard the beautiful woman in high heels suddenly say to me, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the planner." Since you said that you can teach people to fish, if you really have the ability, you will make a successful plan for this watermelon stand. Let their watermelons sell well immediately......"
The beautiful woman in high heels looked at me defiantly.
I didn't expect her to turn around and take me in the army. But I still glanced back at the watermelon stand, then at a newsstand next to it, and said indifferently, "The place chosen for this stall is not right......
What I'm saying is true. Because this is a commercial area, most of the nearby buildings are office buildings and restaurants, there is no residence, and few people will buy watermelons here to take home. And the reason why the stall owner chose to be here is also because there are few chengguan here to check.
I'm done. The high-heeled beauty sneered, and she said sarcastically, "The place is not right!" The most correct place should be in the supermarket. You can also blow air conditioning, and you don't need to be exposed to wind and sun. But the point is that he can't get into the supermarket? ”
I ignored her taunts and looked around again. Then ask her.
"Let's make a bet. I'm going to make a plan tomorrow and I'm going to execute it myself. Guaranteed that his watermelons sell well ......"
The high-heeled beauty was still frosty, she asked rhetorically.
"Bet on what?"
"You say!"
She thought for a moment before she said slowly.
"If you win. I will agree that you will work directly in Ollan, and there is no probationary period......"
I smiled.
"What if I lose?"
She said coldly.
"Don't show up in front of me in the future. Even if I encounter it by chance, it disappears in front of my eyes immediately......"
I didn't expect her to hate me so much.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Seeing that I agreed, the high-heeled beauty stopped talking nonsense and left directly with the assistant. I deliberately shouted at her back.
"Mr. An, do you want the watermelon you bought just now?" She didn't look back.
"Delivered to the company!"
As soon as the two of them left, I chatted with the stall owner's eldest brother for a while. It turned out that he was not a melon farmer in the countryside, he used to work in a factory, but the factory closed down. To make a living, he and his wife sell some watermelons from melon farmers in the morning. Sold for a few days, the results were not satisfactory.
This big brother is a good person, and he advised me not to take the bet seriously. I know it's for my own good. But now that the gamble is settled, how could I give up halfway?
I wandered around the neighborhood this afternoon until I had a more mature plan in mind, and then I went back to the watermelon stand. When I saw the eldest brother selling melons again, I asked him directly.
"Big brother, do you believe me?"
Although he was an unknown person, the eldest brother nodded honestly. To reassure him, I continued.
"Big brother, you don't have to pay a penny, just do what I say. Make money, you give me back the money I put in. Losing money counts as my ......"
My words left him a little dazed. He scratched his head and asked me.
"Brother, I know you're helping me. But you've got to tell you what you think......"
I laughed. "From tomorrow, we won't sell whole watermelons anymore......"
Before I could finish my sentence, my eldest brother interrupted me and asked.
"You mean cut half and half to sell? That's how I sell it now......"
I shook my head and explained.
"Nope! You can't sell this way. You must know that most of these attachments are white-collar workers in the company. Not many of them buy a watermelon to take home and eat. First, most of them are single or have just started a family. A watermelon of this size can't be eaten by one or two people at a time. In addition, I was busy with work, so I basically threw it away in the refrigerator for two days. Second, most of the women in this group are shouting to lose weight, even if they love to eat, they will control it...... "Big brother still looked at me puzzled. I continued.
"So, we're going to cut the watermelon straight into small cubes. It's like a fruit bowl in a nightclub......"
The eldest brother was a little anxious, and he immediately asked me.
"But how do you save it? Besides, we can't sell it by the block, right? ”
I laughed and began to explain his two questions.
"We first went to the supermarket to buy that kind of plastic lunch box, which had to be transparent. The price of this kind of lunch box is very low, but it is only a few cents. We have to prepare two kinds, one slightly larger and one small. Satisfy people with different appetites. After that, put the cut watermelon cubes inside, and serve it with a toothpick next to it. In this way, whether in the office, or at home. Users can open and eat anytime, anywhere. It's convenient, hygienic and saves a lot of hassle......"
What I said to the stall owner is actually the user experience that merchants love to talk about. The so-called user experience is to turn what users find difficult and troublesome into simple and easy to operate.
With that, I pointed to the newsstand next to me. The newsstand also has a freezer for cold drinks and drinks.
"As for the storage you mentioned, we can use the power of newsagents. Of course, we don't need a freezer, but we need to buy a crisper that can be refrigerated. Electricity is theirs. I'll go talk to their boss in a while, and we'll use their electricity. Along with their electricity bills, we also pay for them, so that we can solve the electricity problem. Of course, I'll buy the crisper, you don't have to worry about it......"
My words dispelled the stall owner's doubts. In fact, he doesn't have to do anything, what he needs to do is nothing more than cutting watermelon.
After all this is settled. I went to the same city network to find a store that sells second-hand fresh-keeping cabinets. It went well, and I took down the fresh-keeping cabinet for a few hundred dollars.
Next, I found another airbrushing company. A circle of billboards was made around the crisper. The picture is very simple, it is a bright red watermelon pattern. The advertising slogan is also simple, eight words, "chilled watermelon, cool summer".
I went and bought three more lab coats and transparent food masks. I also made advertising slogans on my white coat. Since we are making food, we must give people a sense of hygiene.
After all this was done, I called the big brother who sold watermelons again. The eldest brother's surname is Wang, and I call him Brother Wang. By the time he pulled the crisper away, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. I ate a bite to eat on the side of the street and went home alone.
