The booths belonging to Class 36 were already packed with people.
It was already the busiest stall in the entire square, even more bustling than when the top-performing class was at its busiest.
As Jiang Ranran led her group through the crowd, a customer at the stall finished making a fan and was extremely pleased with his creation.
"It's so beautiful! I love this lacquer fan so much. Little girl, when will you come back to set up your stall again?"
Is this the lacquered fan that Han Xu mentioned?
Jiang Ranran stared wide-eyed at the stall next to her.
It's just a few buckets with some paint dripped into them, how did that attract so many customers?
A fan that costs one yuan can be sold for 50?
Jiang Ranran was naturally unconvinced and shouted loudly, "Are you Class 36 cheating?"
It was only when Jiang Ranran spoke that the others noticed her.
Wu Qiuqiu hadn't expected someone from the top-performing class to come, and fearing it would disturb the guests, she quickly stepped forward: "Jiang Ranran, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Ranran said confidently, "You're the class monitor of Class 36, right? I understand that your class has been ranked last in the whole grade for years and wants to win this time, but you can't use such petty tricks."
"Everyone else is selling the goods they've purchased, but what are you selling now? A DIY lacquer-dyed fan making experience? Can the fans sold like this even be counted as your sales?"
Wu Qiuqiu was suddenly questioned and was at a loss for words.
When Jiang Nian saw Jiang Ranran coming to cause trouble, she directly asked Lin Ruru to adjust the colors for the guests and looked over at Jiang Ranran.
"Why can't this be counted as part of our sales? Don't the customers pay and take away fans?"
Jiang Nian's eyes held a hint of mockery.
"The school has no rule against modifying goods to increase their value, as long as the goods being sold are indeed like that."
"If you say that we are being clever, then we can't count the sales revenue from selling fans in the form of DIY lacquer painting. At least we let customers take the fans after they pay."
"Then what about your class's ring toss game, you 'Big Smart'? The customer even paid and didn't even get anything. How can that be counted as a sale?"
Upon hearing Jiang Nian utter the words "Great Intelligence," several students in Class 36 couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Ranran initially thought she was in the right, but unexpectedly, Jiang Nian turned the tables on her.
yes.
The definition of sales revenue is the total amount of money spent on the final sale of goods, regardless of the form in which they are sold.
If Jiang Nian and his team's DIY fan-making for customers doesn't count as sales revenue, then their ring toss game definitely doesn't count either.
Because that money wasn't from selling the goods at all.
"I..." Jiang Ranran choked for a moment, "Then, even if you can calculate the sales amount this way, you're still cheating."
"I remember your class spent all their money on fans, right? Where did you get the money to buy this dye?"
“I just checked. If you’re making fake lacquer fans, that’s one thing, but if they’re genuine lacquer fans, the raw material for the pigments is natural lacquer.”
"Lacquer trees only grow in specific places, and harvesting natural lacquer is extremely difficult. It takes a special knife to cut open the bark of the lacquer tree between the summer solstice and the cold dew each year, and then wait for the sap to drip out drop by drop. A lacquer tree can only secrete ten kilograms of raw lacquer in its lifetime, so lacquer is very expensive."
“Even when we use ring toss as a promotion, we make the rings ourselves. We don’t use any money outside of our budget to buy things to increase the value of our goods.”
"If we could use our own money to promote products like you do, wouldn't we be able to use our class funds to buy lots of expensive things to give away, and still not have to worry about not being able to sell them all?"
That is indeed a problem.
The students in Class 36 were all taken aback when they heard this.
They were so caught up in their curiosity that they forgot to ask Jiang Nian where the lacquer pigments she brought back came from, and they never imagined that something that looked just like ordinary pigments would be so precious.
If Jiang Nian really bought this paint with his own money, wouldn't that be against the rules?
"Who told you that I paid for these paints?"
Jiang Nian raised her eyelids. "I got this lacquer paint from home, and I made it myself."
Did Jiang Nian make it herself?
The students in Class 36 gasped.
Jiang Ranran almost burst out laughing: "Sister, you really can just spout off whatever comes to mind."
"Is this something a high school student could make? If you don't want to admit you spent money, you don't have to lie like this."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Jiang Nian said, too lazy to waste any more words on Jiang Ranran. "Instead of trying to cause trouble for our class here, you should go back and think about how your class can make more money selling its own goods."
One sentence struck a nerve with Jiang Ranran.
Ever since Jiang Nian started selling lacquered round fans, passersby have been drawn to this area. No one is interested in the ring toss game played by their top-performing class anymore, and nobody is buying anything else.
Jiang Ranran returned to her class's stall, seething with anger.
"Ranran, what do we do now? If this continues, Class 36's sales will definitely surpass ours, and they might end up in first place, right?"
Class 36 getting first place? Don't even dream about it!
Jiang Ranran's chest heaved, but a thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly understood.
Jiang Nian just said that the school has no rule against modifying goods to increase their value, right?
She also has ways to make their goods not only sell well and at higher prices, but also attract buyers who will rush to purchase them.
Jiang Ranran immediately took out her phone and found the contact information of Ji Yuwei that she had added at the Song family's birthday banquet that day.
