Zhang Yaoyao lay there, listening to Sister Yan's warm words, a trace of warmth flowed in her eyes, and she smiled.
"Sister Yan, it's okay. I went out to buy things, ran around every day, and didn't eat or sleep well, so how could I be full of energy? But fortunately, this trip went smoothly. I'm back in good health, right? I'll be full of energy again after a few days of rest. Don't worry!"
Speaking of this, even Zhang Yaoyao herself was very fortunate that there were indeed no accidents on this trip, especially no personal safety accidents and property losses, which was a blessing.
Mrs. Yan, who was standing by, sighed again with heartache and complained to herself.
"Hey, look at you kid, you just can't take care of yourself!"
If there's anything to blame, it's that their growth is too slow. If all the sisters-in-law in the store could stand on their own, then she could go out with Zhang Yaoyao to buy fabrics, and she could help with many things, and Zhang Yaoyao wouldn't have to be so tired.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yan secretly vowed that she would work harder and become the junior management talent that Zhang Yaoyao said could stand on her own as soon as possible.
At this moment, Zhang Yaoyao glanced at the plaque hanging at the door, which read.
“Good things don’t need price cuts, and good leather goods don’t need discounts!”
She suddenly remembered something. Before she went out to purchase, the leather store under Ma Kaixuan's name reduced all prices by 30% off, which affected the leather products in their store and Du Wen's leather business. Sales volume gradually decreased. Du Wen came to her and gave her advice.
The idea was to let Du Wen suppress his urgency and continue to sell the leather products in the store at the original price. He put up a banner and posted it on the doorsteps of the leather product specialty store and all leather product agency stores so that everyone who bought the goods could see it.
Customers who frequent leather goods stores aren't fools. Seeing the banners at Du Wen's Leather Store advertising leather goods at full price, and comparing them to the discounts at Ma Kaixuan's store, it's easy to understand why Ma Kaixuan's products are discounted by 30%. They discount prices because they believe their products are inferior. Their products are all high-quality, requiring no price cuts or discounts. This is a constant sales strategy designed to adapt to changing circumstances.
With one easy move, Ma Kaixuan lowered the price of his leather products, creating a vicious cycle of competition.
I just wonder if this trick worked during the time she left City A to buy fabric?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yaoyao retracted her gaze, pointed at the plaque at the door, and asked Sister Yan.
"By the way, since the plaque was put up, has the leather goods business in the store shown any signs of recovery?"
Mrs. Yan followed Zhang Yaoyao's gaze and glanced at the plaque at the door that read "Good things don't need price cuts, and good leather products don't need discounts." Then she came to her senses and asked what Zhang Yaoyao was asking, smiling.
"Hey, Yaoyao, you're talking about our competition with Lao Rentou's specialty stores, right? It's amazing. After you left, Du Wen put up this plaque the next day. Our competitor's discount sales business isn't as popular as before, and it's even boycotted by a lot of people. Some people who bought discounted products before even came to our store and asked to return them. They said that our competitors' leather products were discounted because the quality was poor, so they had to return the goods and buy leather products from us."
Having said that, the smile on Mrs. Yan's face became even wider, and she continued.
"So, ever since we put up this sign, we haven't had to badmouth our competitors, offer discounts, or lower prices, and business has slowly picked up. Yesterday, Du Wen came to our store and said that sales of his leather products have slowly picked up, and that he and his competitor each have half of the sales market in City A. Our leather product sales have also returned to their previous booming state."
Hearing this, Zhang Yaoyao understood that her idea of keeping constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances had finally achieved its effect in regaining the market share of leather product sales at the lowest cost. She was delighted and spoke slowly.
"That's good. Have you done some research these days? Are our competitors still offering discounts on their leather goods?"
Their market share has slowly recovered, and it would be foolish for Ma Kaixuan to still insist on lowering the price of the leather products under his name.
Hearing Zhang Yaoyao ask this, Mrs. Yan said with an uneasy look on her face.
"Yaoyao, business has been quite busy since you left. I didn't specifically inquire whether our competitors have lowered their prices again, but Du Wen mentioned that after the consumer return boycott incident, our competitor's leather products have returned to their original prices. They haven't been discounted or offered at any other price."
Even she, a layman, could see that if the other party insisted on selling the leather products at a discount, it would cause greater damage to its reputation and it would be forced to lower the price again and sell the products, creating a vicious cycle.
Of course, Zhang Yaoyao naturally understood the tricks that Sister Yan could see. As long as Ma Kaixuan did not reduce the prices of the leather products under his name again and disrupt the market order, that would be the best outcome. She nodded with satisfaction.
"All right, as long as our competitors don't lower the price of their leather goods again."
As she was speaking, she saw one of the sisters-in-law that Sister Yan had instructed earlier coming out from the back room, carrying some cooked brown sugar eggs. There was a sweet and greasy smell in the air, which was very comfortable.
To the tired and hungry Zhang Yaoyao, the sweet smell floating in the air was simply the ultimate delicacy. God knew she had been eating and sleeping on the train for the past two days and two nights, and hadn't had a sip of hot soup for a long time. Now, with such a bowl of steaming hot brown sugar eggs brought to her, her stomach had already started singing "Conquer".
Zhang Yaoyao quickly stood up. Sister Yan also saw the desire in Zhang Yaoyao's eyes. She helped her up with heartache, took the brown sugar egg from her hand, put it in front of Zhang Yaoyao, and said softly.
"Yaoyao, come here, don't be anxious. You must be hungry. These brown sugar eggs are just out of the pot and are still hot. Let's eat them in small bites."
As he spoke, he had already placed the brown sugar egg in front of Zhang Yaoyao. He then took the spoon and a small bowl from his sister-in-law who was serving the brown sugar egg, gently put an egg and a little sugar water into the small bowl, stirred it slowly, and made sure that the temperature had dropped a lot before handing it over, saying with a loving face.
"Come, eat slowly!"
Zhang Yaoyao had just struggled to sit up from the chair when Mrs. Yan had already prepared everything for her. She looked at the steaming brown sugar eggs handed to her.
