Jiang Ning was wearing a beautiful woolen coat, her hair was tied up, revealing her smooth, delicate face. As soon as she uttered her sweet sales pitch, she immediately attracted many people to stop and watch.
Wang Meizhu chose a spot in front of a large grocery store. Usually, there are many people shopping here, and now the entrance is almost completely blocked.
"Don't miss out! Our foreign trade company is exporting exquisite porcelain to the US and Europe, but because we were short one container, we're switching from export to domestic sales. Only 1,000 pieces of porcelain remain out of 100,000. Once they're sold out, they're gone! Hurry up!"
To express our gratitude for your patronage, each piece of porcelain will come with a complimentary bottle of hair growth serum.
The new hair growth serum developed by Professor Li Hua of the research institute only requires one bottle to help you regrow your black hair and regain your youthful appearance...
Jiang Ning introduced the products using a loudspeaker, while Wang Meizhu held up the products to show them to everyone.
Li Hua felt like crawling into a hole after hearing her exaggerated words.
When did he suddenly become a professor?
Because what she said was so appealing, many people began to touch the porcelain with their hands, feeling the delicate texture of the porcelain.
Seeing everyone's strong desire to buy, Xu Yan, who was sitting next to them, immediately called them over to pay and get their receipts.
"Everyone, please don't crowd. Pay here, and you can exchange your ticket for a piece of porcelain. All products are ten yuan each."
When everyone heard the price, they all thought it was too expensive and started asking for a lower price.
Jiang Ning patiently explained:
"This batch of porcelain from our company is all export goods. They are sold in US dollars abroad, ranging from ten to fifteen US dollars. We only need ten RMB, which is already a preferential price."
For just ten dollars, you can enjoy the finest porcelain from foreign royal courts. This is a once-in-a-year opportunity. If anyone sees someone else have bought one and is showing it off, and you want one too, sorry, it's gone.
High-end goods are always scarce, so buying them is a steal. You can use them yourself to show off your quality of life, or give them as gifts to impress others. If you want to resell them, you can make at least two dollars per item…”
She didn't shout at the top of her lungs, but instead used a calm tone to continuously instill a philosophy of life.
Some fashionable women, carrying small leather bags, became the first buyers of the porcelain vase.
However, after seeing the black bottle of hair growth serum, they felt that it didn't quite match the porcelain.
"Madam, you can keep the porcelain for yourself, but you can give the hair growth serum to your parents. They are getting old and may be having hair loss problems, so this is a way to show your filial piety."
Jiang Ning gave them advice.
Anyway, it's free, so why not take it?
Once the business opened, customers flocked to it.
At Xu Yan's payment counter, a long line of people were waiting to pay.
After receiving the tickets, they went to Wang Meizhu to pick up the goods. Each piece of porcelain was wrapped in colorful oil paper, making it look extremely high-end and beautiful.
Seeing that they were too busy, Li Hua quickly went over to help.
After working until noon, everyone had to go home for lunch, and the number of people gradually decreased.
Li Hua then said to Jiang Ning:
"I'll go buy you some food."
Jiang Ning nodded without saying anything.
She spoke almost as much in one morning as she had in the past week. Taking advantage of the few people around, she quickly grabbed her water bottle and drank a few sips of water.
I asked casually:
"How many were sold this morning?"
"Wait a moment."
Xu Yan responded, then counted the last amount of money she had received in her bag and said:
"The total is six thousand eight hundred and ten yuan."
Wang Meizhu took off her gloves and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I haven't rested for a moment, and I've sold so much! The purchasing power of the people in our capital is truly extraordinary."
The grocery store owner, seeing them taking a break, came over.
"I've seen you shipping out goods all morning. You must have sold quite a lot, right? I never imagined that these porcelains would have such a large market."
Seeing the envy in her eyes, Jiang Ning quickly said:
"Boss lady, you must have sold quite a lot this morning. We've brought you a lot of customers here."
The proprietress chuckled, "That's true, it's twice as much as usual. But the things I sell in my shop are all groceries that cost one or two yuan, so they don't make as much money as what you sell."
Wang Meizhu understood the deeper meaning in her words and quickly said:
"Don't be fooled by our high prices; our costs are also high. A piece of porcelain like this requires a special kiln to fire, which costs ten yuan. Add in the losses, and we're basically selling at a loss. That's why people are buying so many of these pieces, with some buying more than ten at a time, because they know their stuff."
You'll see, quite a few repeat customers will come this afternoon.
Jiang Ning chimed in, "Boss lady, why don't you take some stock too? If someone asks about it tomorrow, just add two yuan to the price and sell it. There'll definitely be a market for it."
The proprietress, caught between the two sisters, returned to her shop dejectedly.
I was hoping to take this opportunity to raise the rent a little, but it seems that's not going to happen.
After a while, Li Hua returned and brought each of them a boxed lunch.
At this time, the boxed lunches were still packed in styrofoam boxes. Jiang Ning glanced at them, picked one up, and started eating.
When you're away from home, you don't have to be so particular.
Many bigwigs set up stalls and tried to sell their wares door-to-door before becoming the richest people. It's a miracle that they became so popular on their first stall.
The three sisters gathered for a meal, reminiscing about the time they spent drinking coffee together in a Western restaurant, and smiled at each other.
"Today, we got a taste of what it's like to be a street vendor. Thinking back, those days were so wonderful."
Wang Meizhu sighed.
She originally came from the countryside and had experienced the hardships of farming; she is a girl who can endure hardship.
But after experiencing a glamorous life, who would be willing to suffer again?
"Today, besides promoting our hair growth serum, I also want to see what the domestic demand for these porcelains is. It doesn't make sense for foreigners to use all the good stuff while we ourselves can't. Domestic sales will also become part of the porcelain sales."
Jiang Ning shared her thoughts.
Xu Yan nodded: "But I have a small suggestion. Selling this porcelain for ten yuan is really too cheap. There's almost no profit. The price should be raised."
Jiang Ning: "We'll decide on the pricing based on market feedback. The domestic market may not be perfect enough to support high prices, but we can take the route of low profit and high volume, after all, there are many people in China."
While the group was still discussing, more people came over to inquire about the goods.
It turns out they had seen it in the morning, but they didn't have any money on them at the time, so they came back quickly in the afternoon with the money.
"Why did you decide to buy it?" Jiang Ning asked them with a smile.
A young man said, "I have no choice. My girlfriend really likes it. I've only ever seen such exquisite vases in museums before. You're only selling them for ten yuan, which is already very cheap."
