The figures of Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were like two hardworking little bees, shuttling through the bustling market in the county town.
The morning sun lazily shone on them, but it could not dampen their high enthusiasm at all.
Sometimes they squatted in front of the stalls, carefully examining the dazzling array of goods, and sometimes they gathered together, whispering to each other.
The air was filled with the aroma of various foods, and occasionally the loud cries of vendors could be heard, but none of this could distract their attention.
Lu Qing frowned slightly, and his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, carefully scanned every corner.
He held an old notebook tightly in his hand, and the tip of his pen moved quickly across the paper, making a slight "rustling" sound.
He meticulously recorded the sales of each product and the customers' reactions.
His rigorous attitude was as if he was conducting a crucial scientific research experiment and would not allow any mistakes.
Shen Qiqi was like a radar, her smart eyes like searchlights, scanning everything around her.
She not only focuses on the sales of goods, but also pays more attention to observing customers' needs and preferences.
From time to time, she would stop and chat with some customers, trying to dig out some valuable information from them.
She looked full of energy, like a female general charging into battle, full of fighting spirit.
Suddenly, Shen Qiqi stopped, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her bright eyes.
In a corner not far away, a larger storefront caught her attention.
The merchandise in this store is surprisingly very similar to the products they are currently producing, and they have already grown to a considerable scale.
Shen Qiqi's brows furrowed slightly, and a faint sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
She seemed to see a powerful opponent standing in front of her, and a tense atmosphere spread around her.
"Lu Qing, look over there." Shen Qiqi's voice was filled with a hint of uneasiness.
Lu Qing followed her gaze and saw the shop.
His brows furrowed as well, but he quickly regained his composure.
He walked to Shen Qiqi, gently held her hand, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Qiqi, don't be afraid, I'm here. We can do it!" His voice was like warm sunshine, dispelling the haze in Shen Qiqi's heart and giving her the strength to move forward.
Shen Qiqi nodded, her heart filled with gratitude and emotion.
She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Lu Qing would always stand by her side, support her and encourage her.
"Lu Qing, let's talk about it when we get back." Shen Qiqi said softly, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
After returning to the village, Shen Qiqi reported the research results to Brother Zhang and Sister Li. When Brother Zhang heard that there was a competitor, he immediately exploded.
"What? Competitors? Are you kidding? Someone's already got there first before it even starts? Qiqi, I'm not saying this to you, but this business is probably not going to be easy!" He folded his arms across his chest and slumped down on the stool, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant. His suspicious eyes swept across Shen Qiqi like a searchlight, and the air was filled with a thick, oppressive atmosphere of "I knew it would be like this."
When Sister Li heard this, she also sighed, "Yeah, Qiqi, what if I lose all my money? I was hoping this business would give me some relief. If I work myself to death every day and still can't make any money, I might as well stay at home and farm."
Shen Qiqi looked at the two people's dejected appearance and felt a little disappointed, but this little setback could not defeat her!
She took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in her eyes, "Brother Zhang, Sister Li, don't be so anxious, this is just the beginning! I haven't finished yet!"
"What else is there to say?" Brother Zhang said with a look that said, "You don't need to comfort me anymore." "Having competitors means this business is not doing well. We should quit before we lose both the wife and the army."
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly and did not force them to convince her. Instead, she threw out a bait: "How about this, I will take you to the county town tomorrow. Let's go together to see what the competitor is like. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle!"
Brother Zhang and Sister Li looked at each other with confusion on their faces, and an atmosphere of curiosity spread around them.
What's the secret behind this?
Want to go again?
The next morning, Shen Qiqi brought everyone to the county town again and went straight to the competitor's store.
The shop's facade is magnificently decorated, and people are coming and going, so the business is booming.
Brother Zhang and Sister Li were stunned. With this scale and momentum, he must be a big boss!
Shen Qiqi remained calm, a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes swept across every corner of the store.
"Let's go in and take a look." She took the lead and stepped into the store, a feeling of determination spreading in her heart.
"Welcome!" the clerk greeted warmly.
Shen Qiqi pretended to be a customer and carefully observed the merchandise in the store.
Suddenly, she picked up a product and her eyes fixed...
Shen Qiqi picked up an embroidered purse. It felt rough to the touch, the stitches were crooked, and the embroidery was terrible. It was a cruel contrast between the "seller's show" and the "buyer's show".
She picked up a few others and found that the quality was almost the same. They were simply mass-produced "defective products."
Look at the price again, wow, it’s actually higher than their cost price!
The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly. Isn't this just pure "puffiness"?
She shared her observations with Brother Zhang and Sister Li, and then analyzed her competitors' strengths and weaknesses in detail: "They have large stores and high customer traffic, which is an advantage. But their products are of poor quality and their prices are inflated. That's our opportunity! Our products are high-quality and reasonably priced. With adequate publicity, we're sure to capture the market!"
