Volume 5 The Sea and the Sky Chapter 46 Opening the Market (I)

The members of the Heavenly Saint Collection Furniture Guild sat together, furniture was a luxury, but it was a necessity in the Rhino Heaven Gathering Furniture Guild. The guild maintained a strict number of people, each representing a furniture store. If there are outsiders who want to squeeze in, then the first thing they have to face is the rejection of the entire guild. But if the newcomer passes this hurdle, then the old people will have to ask for a blessing for themselves, because the newcomer will inevitably squeeze out an old manβ€”the number of people in the guild will not change, this is the rule.

"That new heretical furniture store, you've all sent someone undercover, right?" Seven of the thirteen people present nodded, and six did not sign. "How's it going over there?" all seven laughed. One of them played with his hands, and a hazy ball of light appeared on the palm of his hand, and the ball of light was like a crystal ball in the witch's hand, so that everyone present could see what they wanted to see.

"Haha!" "Haha!" The thirteen people couldn't help but laugh one by one. "You all saw it, they don't know where they got these messy things, and they even sold them for a sky-high price of 3,000 high-grade holy stones, this furniture store doesn't have to worry about us, sooner or later it will close by itself. The thirteen people nodded in unison, and this guild gathering ended here. Originally, the topic was a heretical furniture store, but now the opponent is not worth mentioning at all, what else is there to discuss.

Luo Qian and Wei Shan were guarding the store, not knowing that seven of the eight guys behind them were undercover. There are many heretical furniture stores, strange furniture that has never appeared in the Holy Realm, and not many people can accept it. Even after Alton saw their goods. I couldn't stop shaking my head. The eight guys had no confidence in selling this kind of commodity.

"It's been seven days. Not a single piece of furniture was sold. Wei Shan said to Luo Qian: "It's been almost a month since we came to the Rhino Heaven Sacred Collection, and Randy promised to protect us for two months, half of the time has passed, if we can't improve next month, I'm afraid we will have to roll up and go home." Luo Qian bit his lip, he is not a person who gives up easily. The greater the challenge. The more power there is.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Luo Qian asked. Wei Shan replied: "I think, now there is only a price reduction promotion. Luo Qian shook his head: "That's even worse." Wei Shandong looked at him: "What do you think?" Luo Qian thought for a moment: "There is someone who may be able to help us." "Who?" Provence. ”

Wei Shan was stunned for a moment: "That bastard, how can he help us?" Luo Qian didn't answer, and shouted to Alton who was standing in the distance: "Brother Alton, I have something I want your help with. ”

Provence is just a gangster, relying on some friendship with the three bosses of the Black River Gang in his early years, he pulled a vote of people and started this street business. The Black River Gang looked at the face of the three masters and gave him three streets. However, he doesn't know how to operate, and his subordinates are also mixed, and they have debuted together for so many years. are already wrapped in thousands of dollars and are in charge of themselves. Only he still stares at the umbrella and makes a living by collecting protection money. Everyone else lives in a spacious mansion, but the nest of Provence is only a run-down bar. He had snatched this bar by ingenuity.

Alton stood in the doorway: "This is it. He thought for a while and said: "Mr. Luo, if you need any underworld support, I can introduce you to some powerful gangs, please believe me, people like Provence." It's definitely not enough to succeed and more to lose. ”

Luo Qian smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Alton, I trust your judgment, and I have the same judgment as you. But this time, only Provence can do it well. Alton said no more, and reached out to push the door open for him.

Inside the dimly lit bar, only a handful of people were sitting, the music was decadent, and the instruments were clearly not from Earth. There were guests coming, but there was no one to entertain them. Alton was annoyed. Stamped his foot and shook the house: "Provence." I'm Alton, and I'm talking to you about something. His voice was heard, and the entire bar, including the houses in the back, could be heard clearly.

There was an uproar, and those people who were sitting in a decadent manner stood up alertly, and these people Luo Qian was also familiar, and they had basically seen it that day. A narrow door to a room opened, and Provence came out in disheveled clothes, and between the doors opened and closed, there was a woman's scream. Alton sneered and glanced at his mouth, and said in a low voice: "It's the slave girl of Mars again, and Provence can only play this kind of thing." ”

"Alton!" Provence was obviously upset that some activity was interrupted: "I have already given you face, and you even came to the door, I really think that I Provence is a soft-footed shrimp that anyone can pinch a handful!" Alton was very disdainful of him in his heart, and did not bother to say more to him: "It's not that I'm looking for you." He took a step back.

Luo Qian stepped forward and smiled: "Mr. Provence, I'll talk to you about a business." Provence snorted: "What kind of business? I do a business that has no capital." "You don't need your capital. Luo Qian said: "Actually, what I want you to do is very simple, as long as you order your subordinates to spread some brief news on the Rhino Heaven Sacred Collection, you can get a thousand high-grade holy stones."

。 ”

Provence raised his eyebrows: "You iron rooster, will you be so generous?" Luo Qian smiled embarrassedly: "Don't care so much, just say whether you are willing to do it or not." "Yes, of course I do, my brother used to have to use his hands and feet to get the money, now he just needs to move his mouth, why don't you do it." However, I can't trust you iron rooster, I want to get the money first. Luo Qian smiled slightly: "No problem." ”

A few days later, rumors began to circulate that the new furniture of the heretical furniture store was not only easy to use, but also novel in style, and had replaced the previous postmodernist style of furniture, and had become the new favorite of the homes of people with status in the Rhino Heaven Sacred Collection. That's all high-end consumption, 3,000 high-grade holy stones.

The so-called three people become tigers, Luo Qian saw a lot of this kind of thing when he was in the lower realm. Those so-called trends are not the spontaneous trends of trendy men and women, but are guided by people. A certain famous designer, after being instructed by the manufacturer, frequently preached in radio magazines that what color, what style, will be popular this year. The media that has received benefits will naturally follow and advocate, so a big tide is formed, and if you don't follow, it means that you are not a fashionista. In fact, manufacturers have already stocked up on a large number of goods, counting money and counting in the rushing rush to cramp.

Provence may not be able to do business in the underworld, but there is no problem in spreading rumors. His subordinates are all gangsters, and they are the best at this kind of thing. If, as Alton said, seek the help of powerful gangsters, firstly, Luo Qian may not be able to afford it, and secondly, people are not willing to do this kind of thing.

On the fifth day after the rumors began to spread on the Rhino Sacred Collection, the heretical furniture store finally opened its doors. A chubby middle-aged man, holding a slender and beautiful girl dressed in a bewitching manner, bought four pieces of furniture at once. With 12,000 high-grade holy stones, almost half of the investment in the entire point has been recovered!

Luo Qian also smiled happily: just like the Nether chasing the trend, those who catch up will always be just consumers, and they will not reach the realm of masters, because they are always following others, and they are afraid that others will say that they can't keep up. A real talent is a maverick in the trend. But Luo Qian likes the former kind of people, because this kind of person is the main force of consumption, just like the fat man. However, Luo Qian believes that the decisive role is still the woman next to him who makes people look very unpleasant.

Because of this rumor, those who have just achieved some achievements in the Rhino Heavenly Sacred Collection and who desperately want to become "with status and status" will inevitably come to patronize the heretical furniture store. This is just like the British Industrial Revolution, those new capitalists desperately wanted to squeeze into the social circle of the upper class.

Not only did Wei Shandong appreciate Luo Qian's method very much, but even Alton sincerely admired it. In the past, no one cared about the novelty furniture, but for a while, it became in demand. Although there is no real person with status to buy it yet, Luo Qian believes that the momentum of this trend has already formed, and it only needs a catalyst to reach the height of the rumors.

This catalyst is the "star effect". The outfits of those stars featured in fashion magazines are easy to imitate by enthusiasts. If there is a person with status on the Rhino Heaven Sacred Collection who uses Luo Qian's furniture at home, then it is obvious that people will also be vying to follow suit. That's the ultimate catalyst.

It's just that this person is not easy to find, Luo Qian originally planned to ask Randy for help, but Alton told him that although Randy is rich, he is not a person with status on the Rhino Heaven Sacred Collection, on the contrary, he is still the kind of person who wants to join the group of "people with status".

This made Luo Qian lose his mind for a while, he only knew Randy on the Rhino Heaven Sacred Collection.

However, the two of them are not in a hurry, at present, the furniture store has sold more than 20 pieces of furniture, making a profit of tens of thousands of high-grade holy stones, and the cost has already been recovered, and Wei Shan's heart is also steady.

The furniture in the Nether is well designed, and there are a lot of human touches. These purchased by Luo Qian are the best among them. But all the buyers are rave reviews. This has also fueled the rumors. After all, no matter who spent thousands of high-grade holy stones to buy them, they wouldn't say that what they bought was not good, wouldn't that prove that they were stupid?

As a result, more and more people are curious, even if they don't have to buy it, they will come to the store to see what is good about these furniture. Luo Qian's business is also different from other merchants, it is said that such an expensive luxury item cannot be tried casually, but Luo Qian allows customers to try it casually. You can go up and lie down on the bed, please go up and sit down on the chair, and you may wish to try the sofa, desk, and ottoman.

The heretical furniture store is booming, but the rest of the population is not very happy.

Thirteen people sat together again, thirteen chapters with gloomy faces. "I didn't expect that these gang of beam-jumping uglies would still be done, and it seems that we are still underestimating the enemy. ”
