Chapter 60 Promotion
"My second aunt's daughter married in Shanghai..." Wang Yongsheng made an excuse, and then said: "Squad Leader Liu, we are all classmates. I'll give you whichever bottle you like!"

"Really?" Liu Siying asked with a smile.

"Of course, we are in the same class. When there is good news, our classmates must be given priority, right?" Xu Qiang said straightforwardly.

"Then you're welcome. Thank you."

Liu Siying has never been a shy girl. She really likes this kind of fragrant little thing, so she directly picked a bottle of purple lilac scent.

"Great Sage, you gave things to the squad leader, but not to us?" Lin Yueying said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, aren't we all classmates?"

"Why don't you give us a bottle too?"

Some people followed suit and started to make a fuss.

"Give away, give away! All for free!" Wang Yongsheng took out a bunch of small bottles from his bag while speaking, and said to everyone, "I'm giving these things to the students today to try out. One bottle per person, pick whatever you like!"

"real!?"

"You're not lying, are you?"

As soon as Wang Yongsheng finished speaking, the crowd watching was in an uproar, and they all spoke with half belief and half doubt.

If they were really asked to buy this kind of unbranded shampoo, I'm afraid most people would not buy it, but if it was given for free, that would be a different matter.

Nowadays, whether it is supply and marketing cooperatives or stores, there has never been any promotional methods such as giveaways, so as long as there is such a small benefit, it will definitely attract many people.

Even in later generations, supermarkets occasionally say they will give each customer a few eggs, and the people lining up can circle the supermarket several times. Most of them are elderly people from this era.

Moreover, when Wang Yongsheng was demonstrating just now, the scent of the shampoo was indeed very attractive, and the red and green colors were also very pleasing. Naturally, everyone would want to try such a good thing.

"What nonsense! Just take it!"

"This broken thing doesn't even have a trademark. It's obviously a counterfeit product. Who would use it?" He Wei said sarcastically in the crowd.

"Today, everyone in the class except He Wei will give two bottles!" Xu Qiang shouted directly, as if he heard what He Wei said in the crowd.

"Who cares!" He Wei was immediately embarrassed when he heard that. After saying that, he turned and walked away.

All of a sudden, everyone in the class came forward and excitedly picked out the small bottle of free shampoo. Some even unscrewed the lid and took a smell, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"...If you like the products, you can come back to buy from me in the future." Taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was watching to get the gifts, Wang Yongsheng took out four large bottles of shampoo from his bag.

The four bottles are of different sizes, and the amounts of shampoo are labeled on them, which are obviously weighed in advance.

The glass bottles at the scrapyard are not all the same size, but that's not a big problem. Just fill them up and weigh them, and you can charge them by weight. "This big bottle of mine is 500 grams, and the price is 300 yuan. If my classmates buy it, they only need to pay yuan. This bottle is grams, and it's only yuan. If my classmates buy it, they only need to pay yuan! And this bottle..."

Seeing Wang Yongsheng spitting and working hard to promote his own shampoo, Xu Qiang was very satisfied.

In fact, Wang Yongsheng's sales method was also the advice Xu Qiang gave him when they were drinking before. They were all some commonly used promotional routines in his previous life.

It seems now that Wang Yongsheng learns very quickly. This kid does have a talent for business, and he has a good mind and eloquence.

Cooperating with such people is very important to Xu Qiang. After all, doing business these days requires taking risks. So whether he was cooperating with Wang Zhong, the director of the town supply and marketing cooperative, to sell fertilizers, or selling daily chemical products with Wang Yongsheng and his gang, Xu Qiang would not choose to open up sales channels on his own. Instead, he would hide behind the scenes and choose to cooperate with existing sales channels, try not to show up in public, and be a hidden supplier.

But if after two or three years, the country begins to gradually relax restrictions on private business activities, Xu Qiang will choose the time to step from the backstage to the front stage to maximize his benefits.

In just a moment, the small bottles of shampoo on Wang Yongsheng's desk were sold out, including two 200-gram bottles of shampoo.

It always takes a process and time for consumers to accept new things, but if something is really good, it will eventually be accepted by the public and become a best-seller.

During the self-study class that evening, Wang Yongsheng and others fell asleep on the table early. They couldn't concentrate on the textbooks at all.

Because Xu Qiang had to work the night shift, he had to catch up on his sleep here, so he and Wang Yongsheng and others sat in the back row.

Seeing Xu Qiang and others sleeping on the table in the back row, squad leader Liu Siying smiled and shook her head, then took out the small bottle of purple shampoo she had given him before, and played with it gently in her hands...

……

In the next two days, more and more people came to Wang Yongsheng to buy shampoo.

The students in Xu Qiang and Wang Yongsheng's class are all from various workshops. After trying the product, they felt it was good. In addition to purchasing it themselves, they also recommended it to relatives and friends. Therefore, more and more people want to buy this bulk shampoo.

In less than three days, the 60 kilograms of shampoo that Xu Qiang had sold to Wang Yongsheng were all sold out. Even a can of green apple-scented shampoo that Wang Yongsheng originally wanted to use for himself was bought by a friend. Many people who had not bought it had to make reservations in advance. The fact that this thing was so popular was obviously beyond the expectations of Wang Yongsheng and his gang.

At noon that day, Wang Yongsheng pulled Xu Qiang to sit next to him at the table by the window of the Wuqi Restaurant.

"Brother, there's nothing more to say. Ask your relatives to bring me some more shampoo. The more the better. We'll still follow the previous price. The four hundred yuan is a deposit!" In front of Xiao Gangpao and others, Wang Yongsheng took out a small stack of Big Unity from his underwear pocket and said to Xu Qiang.

Previously, Wang Yongsheng spent 240 yuan to buy 60 kilograms of shampoo, and finally sold it for more than 500 yuan, making a net profit of twice the money. This made Wang Yongsheng and his gang overjoyed, so this time they hosted Xu Qiang for a banquet, in addition to celebrating the success, of course they wanted to continue placing orders.

"My relative brought it back last time. He happened to be going home to do something, so he didn't charge me for the travel expenses. But this time..."

"I'll reimburse your travel expenses! In addition to the money for purchasing the goods, I'll give you an extra fifty. Is that okay with you?" Wang Yongsheng said directly.

You have to know that in that era, the train ticket from Shanghai to Jiujiang, Jiangxi was only seven yuan, but Wang Yongsheng directly gave him fifty yuan more, which was obviously equivalent to raising the price of Xu Qiang's shampoo, just to ensure that he could get the goods.

"Okay! Then I'll ask my relatives to run another round." Xu Qiang nodded, took the money on the table, and said to Wang Yongsheng, "Well, do you want soap? If so, their factory also has new products..."
