Chapter 207 Who said it was not serious? [3000]
It's only 10 US dollars. For a big stage like the Canton Fair, it is naturally insignificant, not even a penny counts.
But for a group of female students, even if 10 US dollars is divided by 1000, there are still 100 US dollars, which, converted into RMB, is more than enough for their living expenses for one semester. If their families are poor, sending the money back home will surely make their fathers and mothers smile and laugh all month long.
nature……
Not every female college student is called Qian Youyou, who can speak six languages and is not afraid of foreigners.
But this does not affect their enthusiasm.
After all, how can you know if you don’t try?
It is hard to imagine the enthusiasm that 100 US dollars can mobilize.
It’s just like female college students, gathering together in groups, wearing fresh and clean summer clothes. The impact that their youthful and beautiful aura can bring is hard to imagine.
Especially in this era, the marketing methods of many companies are still very simple, still stuck in the most primitive way of displaying their own products on the booth.
In front of the booth, the temporary salesman may be the workshop maker of the product, or the supervisor himself. How many people can he attract by introducing the so-called special products of his company in a stuttering local dialect that is not even standard Mandarin?
In a word, it all depends on the high quality of the product.
No one would think carefully about what would be wrong with doing so. The limitations of the times have caused many people's thinking to remain rigid.
In this era, everyone from the CEOs of state-owned and private enterprises to peddlers and ordinary people are still advocating this saying. What is it called?
【Good wine needs no bush. 】
Yes, that's it.
The allusion of this sentence comes from Zhang Zhidong, a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty.
It is said that when Zhang Zhidong was the governor of Sichuan Province, he passed by Luzhou and heard that Luzhou was a wine city. In the process of looking for good wine, he finally found Yinggoutou, where the national treasure cellar of Luzhou Laojiao is located. After tasting it, Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but sigh: "Good wine is not afraid of narrow alleys."
From then on, this sentence spread and became the lifelong business philosophy that many honest businessmen adhere to.
Of course, some people have obviously misunderstood the truth. Their products are not good enough, but they are very stubborn. When they are questioned, they say: "What do you know? Good wine needs no bush. As long as the quality is good, customers will come to our store sooner or later even if the location is not good."
Yes, it is sooner or later, it’s just a matter of closing sooner or later.
Is the saying “Good wine needs no bush” wrong?
Was Zhang Zhidong wrong?
That's right.
But, sir, times are progressing.
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were many time-honored shops that operated in a "sit-down merchant" model. They relied on craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation, adhered to ancestral teachings, made good products, won the favor of customers, and passed on word of mouth, thus forming a long-lasting good reputation. This is why the saying "Good wine needs no bush" comes true.
In today's society, especially since the reform and opening up, with the development of the market economy, oversupply, industrial upgrading, institutional reform, and increasingly fierce competition, many private enterprise bosses have begun to notice that it is wrong to cling to the old ways and stick to the so-called "good wine needs no bush" business motto. The times require reform and innovation.
But there are some old stubborn people who are in high positions and refuse to listen to these harsh words. They even despise everything and refuse to abide by the old traditional business philosophy and make changes.
Moreover, in their view, such behavior is heretical, evil, misleading consumers, and is a monster that needs to be overthrown.
Lu Yang's Meisite Garment Factory soon encountered such trouble.
"What are you doing? Who allowed you to do this?"
"Assholes, you've attracted all the guests away, what should we do?"
"Stop it all!"
"I order you to disband. This fair has been ruined because of you guys."
"That's right. They are all posing and flirting. How can this be tolerated? In my opinion, this booth should be cancelled."
"It's immoral, immoral, I'm going to sue you."
how to say.
Being too conspicuous can sometimes easily offend people.
The location of Lu Yang's booth was originally very remote, but because of the unique way of displaying products, all products and clothing styles were worn by the models in the booth. Specifically, there were twenty or thirty young and beautiful college girls, chattering away, and they could all speak a little foreign language. Compared with the monotony of other booths, this one was much more innovative and lovely. Wouldn't it attract onlookers?
If there are more customers here, there will be fewer customers at other booths, especially the booths right next to them. Wouldn’t they be dissatisfied?
To put it bluntly, it means that you can't stand anyone being better than you.
Cursing.
Official language.
Attack component.
Vicious and humiliating.
Go to the competent authority to file a complaint.
There are all kinds of people, and they just don't want to make your life easy. What you have, I don't. This shows how vicious human nature is.
"What? Why do you care about what we do?" "That's right, sisters, ignore them, these people are just jealous, they have conjunctivitis, bah, they need treatment."
"Hehe, I just closed a $2 order, and Sister Youyou said I can get a commission of more than ten dollars. Yeah, come on, sisters."
"Asshole, if anyone dares to say bad things again, I will report him for being a hooligan. I am a decent woman and my clothes are normal. How can I be coquettish? Do you see your mother and sister also coquettishly posing like this?"
The female college students wanted to earn some pocket money, so they didn't believe their threats. Besides, they didn't work for the bosses of the neighboring booths, so they were ruthless when they confronted them.
Plus, there is Gong Ping'an and Da Jun, who can be relied upon behind. Especially Da Jun, his size makes him look very safe.
"Afraid?"
The leaders haven't arrived yet.
Facing the angry neighbors, Lu Yang asked Qian Youyou who was standing next to him.
The girl with the ponytail shook her head and then nodded.
"If you are worried, you can call your classmates back first and see how the situation develops. What will the organizers do? Will they criticize us or allow us? You can make a choice after everything is clear. I won't blame you."
Lu Yang glanced at the girl with ponytail next to him.
"No need. We are just selling goods and have not done anything out of line. There is no need to back down because of what some people say."
Qian Youyou said lightly.
Lu Yang nodded approvingly, pouted his lips and said, "Okay, after I'm done with these few days, I'll write a letter of praise to your school and send you a banner."
Qian Youyou nodded without comment.
Her expression was normal, but only she knew in her heart that the stone that had been hanging in the air had finally fallen to the ground, and she felt at ease again.
It is a good thing to bring classmates out to practice and earn money.
But if this led to criticism in a place like the Canton Fair, and the news got back to school, she would probably be in trouble even if she was an excellent student.
Now that Lu Yang has said this, it is equivalent to taking the trouble actively. When the time comes, the company, as the employer, will write a letter of thanks to the school and send a banner with great fanfare. Will your school accept it or not?
It’s a dilemma, right?
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Qian Youyou's lips.
Even though the thank-you letters and banners might not necessarily have the expected, perfect effect of making the school top management no longer pursue the punishment of these female students for taking private jobs during the trade fair, she was still very happy that someone was willing to share the pressure.
Then, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly waved to the crowd in front of her, saying, "Sister Shushu, Xiaoxiao, you two come here. We are volunteers for the trade fair and can't stay here all the time. Don't cause trouble for him. We have to go somewhere else and come back later. These classmates are enough for ordinary major language translation."
Sister Wei Shu and Xiao Xiao were enjoying themselves at the moment, but upon hearing this, they were both stunned.
Xiaoxiao, in particular, was feeling very proud of herself just now because she had closed a deal for autumn clothing worth US$2000 and could get a commission.
He pouted and said, "No, I need to make money."
Sister Wei Shu went to pull her over and said, "Okay, stop being so petty."
"What's wrong with you? We haven't done anything bad. What's wrong with volunteers? Isn't the purpose of our existence to serve enterprises and help them communicate better with foreign investors? Isn't that what we are doing now?"
Is there anything wrong with what Xiaoxiao said?
That's right.
"Okay, stop trying to cheat. Since we have accepted this volunteer job, we must do it well. The purpose of volunteers is to serve enterprises, but we serve the enterprises in all exhibition halls during the entire Canton Fair, not just one booth. If we stay here and do nothing, we will only cause trouble for ourselves and the garment factory.
Look around you, how many people have pink eye?
It's always better to be careful. A senior leader might be coming over soon. Let's leave first."
Sister Wei Shu is still the one who sees things clearly and understands everything at once.
Lu Yang nodded secretly.
He actually wanted to remind people of this problem a long time ago, but on the one hand, he felt embarrassed to not let others make money, and on the other hand, this was not a big deal that had to be avoided.
For Lu Yang, it can be summed up in eight words: When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
If there really is some old-fashioned official who comes out and says that this is not allowed and that is not allowed, even the proper marketing methods of trade fairs will have to be restricted, the worst that can happen is that the booth will be abandoned.
Come back home.
Anyway, I have gained enough from this trip this time.
Deputy Mayor Xu left his colleagues and hurried to the booth of his own trade delegation. He also received news that the guy he valued was up to something again.
Don't let anything happen then.
