Chapter 428 Competition
Seeing the two of them curiously waiting for her answer, Lin Xia smiled and said, "I met him when I came here to do some business before."
"What is it?"
"We're here. We're inside. You guys go in." Before Lin Xia could answer, Xiao Wang, who was leading the way, suddenly said.
Song Huili and the other person immediately dropped the topic.
As soon as Lin Xia entered, she saw the director and Hu Juan inside. Yu Xuan didn't know when she calmed down, but when they saw Lin Xia and the other two coming in, everyone looked over.
"You've come at the right time. Tell the police what happened and make a statement." Seeing Lin Xia and others arrive, the dean immediately waved.
As they did not want to delay the students' exams, they heard what happened on the scene from the stories told by Hu Juan and Yu Xuan. The two of them had different versions of the story, and for a moment the clerk and the director did not know who was right.
Song Huili and the other girl were startled when they heard this. They thought she just came to see Hu Juan, but they didn't expect this matter had anything to do with them.
Lin Xia felt normal when she heard this. She knew she had to make this trip when she decided to call the police. It was already good enough that she could let them take the exam first.
"Let me go first." Lin Xia saw that Song Huili and the other girl had strange expressions and knew that they were a little scared because they had never experienced this before.
Anyway, all three of them had to take statements, so the officer in charge didn't mind who went first. But compared to the panic of the other two, Lin Xia's calmness still surprised the officer in charge.
I followed the police officer into a private room.
Lin Xia spoke first: "This is what happened..."
Starting from the moment Yu Xuan returned to the dormitory, Lin Xia described how the conflict occurred and what she saw.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." The police officer asked a few more questions and saw that nothing was missed.
After Lin Xia went out, Song Huili came in.
Since the incident happened not long ago, several people remembered what happened very clearly. By the time Lin Xia and the others finished taking the statements, they had nothing to do with it.
Lin Xia and the others were not very clear about how the matter was finally handled, because after the test results were announced, they had a holiday.
As expected, Lin Xia won the first place again. They didn't see Yu Xuan again until they left school.
Only during the winter vacation did Lin Xia have the energy to take care of the store's affairs.
Because she was preparing for the final exams, Lin Xia hadn't been to the store for a while. When she came here again, she found that there were more and more shops around.
There are several stores whose decorations are very similar to theirs, with the same large glass windows that allow you to see the decorations inside.
The last time she came to the store, there weren’t so many shops. Lin Xia thought for a moment and pretended to be a passerby as she walked around.
Lin Xia is not worried about having competitors, but she must grasp the information about her competitors.
The decoration of the store looked really good from the outside. Lin Xia carefully looked around the store. Two waiters selling clothes were looking after customers. When they saw Lin Xia come in, they just glanced at her.
Lin Xia hoped that no one was staring at her, and she looked around on her own very contentedly. When she heard about the same discount promotion as when their store opened, plus the free makeup trial with purchase of clothes, Lin Xia knew that this was a copycat store.
Although someone was following her lead, Lin Xia was not that angry. She had expected such a situation and it was about time for it to happen.
But she is not worried at all. After all, it is not the case that customers will pay for products just because they are exactly the same. The little thoughts involved are not something that ordinary people can necessarily learn.
Take the simplest price tag as an example. It seems that hanging a small sign is useless, but compared with the waiter's quote, clearly marked prices can avoid a lot of embarrassment.
The price is clearly marked, so if the customer feels the product is not worth the price, they can put it back immediately and nothing will happen.
However, when they hold a piece of clothing they like and ask the waiter how much it costs, if they think it is too expensive, under the waiter's gaze, they will put it back as if they cannot afford it. The face factor is at work, and they grit their teeth and buy it, but feel very painful, but they have to pretend nothing happened.
But every time I wore this dress after that, I always felt a little unhappy, as if I was forced to buy it.
Once something like this happens, customers will feel cheated and fooled, and will definitely have a bad impression of this store and may avoid it in the future.
Lin Xia walked along the way. She was not worried about the competition from the clothing stores. Instead, she was more worried about the cosmetics counters.
With the entry of foreign brands, some skin care brands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there are many more products on the market.
This means that someone is coming to grab the cake, and if this continues, their business will inevitably be affected.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia wondered whether she should go to An Rong's factory. She hadn't seen her since the last time they met at home.
With a lot of things on her mind, Lin Xia arrived at her own shop and found that there were many people in the shop. Fang Jing and Wu Xiaomeng were entertaining customers, and Yang Hongmei was doing makeup for someone.
Seeing a customer coming in, Wu Xiaomeng turned around to greet him. When she saw it was Lin Xia, she was delighted and was about to speak when she saw the boss shaking his head at her.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaomeng continued to entertain the customer, but his eyes would occasionally keep an eye on Lin Xia.
Lin Xia didn't expect that there were so many people in the store. The store, which should have been quiet and comfortable, was actually a bit noisy. Feeling curious, she pretended to be a customer and stood behind the crowd, trying to observe what was going on.
"Your store has really good business, but it's so hard to wait for makeup." Someone complained casually.
Wu Xiaomeng saw Lin Xia behind him and said to the customer with an embarrassed look on her face: "I'm sorry, how about we book another time for you, and you can come directly then."
"But I'm not sure when I'll need it. Can't you hire a few more people to help?" the customer complained.
When Wu Xiaomeng heard what the customer said, she apologized embarrassedly.
"We have to wait so long and still can't get our makeup done, and the clothes are so expensive, can you give us a discount? Other stores are offering discounts, but you don't." The customer rolled her eyes and said to Wu Xiaomeng.
"That's right. If your clothes weren't nice, we would have bought them somewhere else." The customers next to them chimed in.
"Sorry, we don't have discounts here." Wu Xiaomeng was so confused that he quickly apologized.
"Forget it, it's so expensive here, why don't we go somewhere else? The new stores nearby are having a sale."
As soon as these words were spoken, several other customers followed suit, and soon they all swarmed out of the door.
When Wu Xiaomeng saw that everyone had left, she felt too embarrassed to face her boss.
Fang Jing only realized that Lin Xia was in the store at this time. Seeing Lin Xia, she whispered, "Boss, can we really not give you a discount? A lot of stores have opened recently, and all the customers who came in have gone there."
