Personalized customization was the plan that Su Qingluan wanted to launch from the beginning, but she didn't think clearly about what this "gateway standard" was for a while.
However, these three die-hard fans of "Su Ji" gave Su Qingluan an idea: For high-quality customers with high loyalty, special discounts should be given, right?
So Su Qingluan set the spending limit for these three people at the "Gold Member" standard, rounding off the amount, of course—what, two of these three people were slightly below the standard? Are you kidding? For high-quality, loyal customers who are good at understanding the store's difficulties, isn't it normal to give a certain amount of discount?
So, apart from these three "Emerald Members" - after all, there was no concept of "Platinum" in those days - the remaining highest standard instant "Gold Members", which are the "VIP" members in later generations, and the remaining ordinary members are "Silver Members".
As for "Bronze Member" and the like, it's hilarious. Bronze is not a valuable thing even in Sheng Dynasty. Using this as a membership title probably means that they think their death is not ugly enough.
Of course, the value of membership also changes with the name. For example, although "Gold Member" can be converted into "Jade Member" when the consumption accumulates to a certain level, as the saying goes, "Gold has a price but jade is priceless", it is not so easy to upgrade to "Jade Member" after three people have obtained customization qualifications.
In addition to the total amount of consumption, Su Qingluan also introduced the concept of "consumption stickiness", that is, within a period of time, one must consume "Su Ji" products to obtain "Jade Membership", and if one wants to get "special customization", only those who have obtained Jade Membership are eligible.
Although the most real reason is that preparing personal perfume is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task, and Su Qingluan cannot have so much energy to prepare so many styles of perfume at one time, but she also does not want the rest of the people to get "personal customization" too easily, otherwise the "specialness" of this gift will soon be replaced and weakened.
Yan Min sat on a chair in the corner of "Su Ji", eating the fruit jam brought by Su Qingluan, and sighed: "Qingluan, you are really a hidden talent. I thought you were really a helpless person who came from the countryside to live with relatives." He never thought that one of the hottest shops in Jingzhou was actually opened by the other party.
Su Qingluan smiled bitterly and said, "Minmin, please stop teasing me. You should have heard about what happened that day. If it weren't for my cousin's quick wit and Lu Jian's stupidity in leaving such an important account book openly in the shop, it would be hard to say whether this shop was named 'Su' or 'Lu'..."
Hearing Su Qingluan's words, Yan Min nodded and said, "I heard that too. You are really brave. Two delicate and weak girls dare to provoke several employees in this store - even the shopkeeper Lu is a big and strong man."
The boy wiping the table nearby heard Yan Min's sigh and rolled his eyes. "Weak? Little girl? Is this little lady talking about the new shopkeeper Su and that Miss Yaoyao? How are they weak? The way they acted before, they were clearly two female demons!"
Of course, no matter what the guy was muttering in his heart, he would never dare to say it out loud - not only did he not dare to say it, he didn't even dare to show it.
When Su Qingluan returned home that day, she found four more people: two servants and two maids. Su Qingluan understood that these were the people Song Bo had bought from the human traffickers.
However, these four people looked much more regular and neat-looking than Su Qingluan had imagined, and they were also older than she had imagined.
In Su Qingluan's imagination, those who had fallen into the hands of human traffickers were definitely not strong laborers who could complete the work independently, and most of them were children who had not grown up. When Su Qingluan was still in Huaxi Village, there were often families around the village who had too many children to support, so they sold one or two of them in exchange for money so that the rest could survive.
But to Su Qingluan's surprise, these people were all around fifteen or sixteen years old, looking about the same age as herself. Upon closer questioning, it turned out they weren't "forced to be sold to human traffickers," but more likely "used human traffickers to find jobs for themselves."
In other words, compared to children whose parents take the money and leave, leaving them completely without autonomy, these people are "voluntarily selling their labor." Of course, in many cases, the money paid for a "dead contract," which means being sold to the master with no possibility of redemption, is much higher than the money paid for a "living contract," which means being able to leave after working for a period of time. So in this case, many people voluntarily "sell themselves" in order to make more money.
The servants looked somewhat similar, and at first glance they were brothers. Su Qingluan asked about it and found out that it was indeed the case. Furthermore, their names were very simple: "Big Dog" and "Second Dog".
Su Qingluan: ...Isn’t this name a bit too hasty?
But think about those "Er Zhuang" and "Sanya" in your family, it's also the eldest brother who should not laugh at the second brother.
After all, they are still working here, and calling them Big Dog and Second Dog doesn't sound very nice, so Su Qingluan asked Song Bo to give the two of them a similar name.
Song Bo waved his hand, and the two people became: Su Wei and Su Yong.
Even though it sounds ordinary, it's still a name and it's not something you can't pronounce.
"But why is your surname Su?" Su Qingluan was curious.
"Madam, you are the head of the family," Song Bo said as a matter of course, "The boss is not here now, so naturally I will follow your surname." Then he performed a very standard bow to Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan was under great pressure: she understood that Song Bo did this to establish authority for her, the hostess, in front of the newcomers, but Su Qingluan felt uncomfortable no matter what to let a middle-aged uncle salute her - but she couldn't say anything, after all, establishing authority was important.
The two girls were not related by blood, but both had miserable lives. One of them was from a poor family and could not afford a dowry. She was also thin and had a melon-shaped face. Although such looks were still popular in later generations, such a "pointed-mouthed and monkey-cheeked" appearance was considered "unlucky" at that age. In addition, she had no dowry, so she could not be married to a good family.
Unfortunately, her parents were cruel and hoped to sell their daughter for money. This made her a "loser", so they simply sold her to a human trafficker - after all, there were wealthy families who didn't have a good supply of white flowers.
But what will happen to her once she falls into the hands of the other party is not something the human trafficker can control.
The other woman had a pretty appearance and was rather thin. Her experience could be summarized in four words: "selling herself to bury her father." The human trafficker paid for the funeral, and the girl followed the trafficker, leaving everything to his own devices.
Su Qingluan sighed as she listened to the two girls' experiences: They are all pitiful people!
