Chapter 513: Spendthrift Woman
Hu Xiner stood in front of the mountain of books, her skirt fluttering, and the firelight almost illuminated her entire body.
She held up a homemade microphone, her smile bright and confident, with a sincerity that was impossible to ignore: "From today on, my Mu Xin Comics Shop will destroy all low-quality books and sell high-quality works instead, so as not to disappoint every fan!"
This sentence finally brought everyone back to their senses.
Looking at Hu Xiner in the firelight, they couldn't help but wonder.
Can this person in front of me be trusted?
However, they no longer doubted Hu Xiner's identity.
You can tell by looking at Zhao Si’s pale face, which is filled with heartache.
If the woman in front of him was not his biological sister, it would be impossible for the unscrupulous businessman Zhao Si to suffer such a huge loss!
"Miss Zhao, now we believe your sincerity." A large man stepped out from the crowd. He looked at the pile of books in the flames with a look of pity on his face. "But burning all these books is such a waste!"
He spoke directly from the hearts of the people.
All this is money being burned!
But Hu Xin'er shook her head firmly and said emotionally, "I burned the books today to tell everyone that we will never allow books like this to be sold again! A man cannot stand without trust. If I can gain everyone's trust with this, what are these books worth?"
The crowd began to discuss again, but this time, most of them were praising her: "It seems that this girl is really different from Zhao Si!"
"It seems she's in charge of the new shop. Someone has finally been able to rein in that little fox Zhao Si. This is truly a relief."
Some people also have doubts: "Do you think this woman is putting on an act? Is she deliberately trying to deceive our trust?"
Someone immediately objected, "How is that possible? The books that were burned alone were worth a fortune. How much money do you have on you that would be worth her defrauding you of? 500 taels?"
"This... seems to be the case." The person who questioned it scratched his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that public opinion gradually turned to Hu Xiner's side and more and more people gathered to watch, Manager Wu, who was hiding in the crowd, began to panic.
Because he felt something was wrong, he worked hard to squeeze to the front row. At this time, he heard every word of Hu Xiner and became more and more frightened.
Ordinary people may not know the purpose of Hu Xiner's doing this, but as a businessman, he knows it very well.
If a person wants to make his business bigger and stronger, the most important thing is the trust of customers and the continuous influx of new customers.
It takes at least a year and a half for ordinary stores to build up their reputation and fame, and due to the fierce competition, it is completely uncertain whether they can attract so many new customers.
However, Hu Xiner managed to accumulate popularity in just one day, no, in just a quarter of an hour!
Even if only one out of 10 people would go to her store to look at and buy books, then based on the number of people gathering now, Mu Xin Comics Shop would be able to make a lot of money.
What's more, with such an explosive event happening, the reputation of Mu Xin's comic shop would probably spread throughout Qingzhou City within three days.
This means that as long as the quality of the books it sells is not very bad, there will be a huge flow of people in the short term, and the money that can be earned will also increase sharply.
How could Shopkeeper Wu not be anxious and heartbroken?
What he hates most is seeing others make money!
Seeing that everyone was convinced, he became anxious and actually walked out directly: "Humph, no matter how eloquent you are, you have always been a real con man! The fact that you burned the books so easily now proves that they are garbage. But you sold so much garbage to the people before. It is simply unforgivable!"
Naturally, there were also people in the crowd whose children had bought comic books. They were deeply shocked by the momentum of the burning of the mountain of books, and even felt a faint sense of satisfaction.
After all, they usually keep a close eye on their children, but they are so disobedient. Now going back and telling them about the burning of the mountain of books can prove that they are right and suppress their children's rebelliousness at the same time.
But Manager Wu's words reminded them of an important thing.
That is, your children are buying garbage, but you are spending your hard-earned money.
They immediately glared at Hu Xin'er: "Shopkeeper Wu is right, you are a bunch of profiteers!"
"I knew that none of these businessmen were good people."
Hu Xin'er said very sincerely: "Yes, those things are rubbish."
Everyone was prepared for her to make excuses, but Hu Xiner's sincere and polite response made them feel that she was being a bit aggressive, and they didn't know what to do.
Some shopkeepers were mixed in the crowd, frowning as they watched.
They were also there to watch the fun. They had just been cheering for Hu Xiner's act of burning books, but now they felt that she was just a woman after all and didn't understand anything about business.
How could a respectable shopkeeper admit that the things they sell are garbage? Wouldn't that be digging their own grave?
In business, the key is to turn white into black. If you say your product is terrible from the beginning, how can you gain the trust of customers? How can you sell your product at a high price?
But then, Hu Xiner said something that made them frown even more.
She actually announced to everyone, "Any comic book sold by our Mu Xin Comics Shop can be exchanged for a new one within half a month of the new shop opening!"
"What?" Everyone couldn't believe their ears.
Hu Xin'er then began to introduce the new comic book: "Our new comic book uses better paper quality, and the ink also has a light fragrance. You don't have to worry about getting ink on your hands when reading the comic book..."
The more they listened, the more shocked they became. After Hu Xiner finished her introduction, they were all in an uproar.
It’s fine if you exchange the old one for a new one, but the one you exchange for is a new picture book of better quality?
This can't be a lie, right?
Zhao Si was pressed down on the chair. After hearing Hu Xiner's words, he almost jumped up: "You spendthrift woman, are you crazy?!"
Watching his mountain of books being burned was heartbreaking enough, but Hu Xiner continued to offer discounts. Did she think his money came from the wind?
Hu Xin'er waved her sleeves and said to him sincerely, "Brother, I believe our sincerity will move heaven and the simple people of Qingzhou City. If it weren't for their support, how could we have the shop we have today?"
"No!" Zhao Si roared heartbreakingly.
Hu Xiner winked at him and said, "Hmph, she would never do business that would lose money!"
