Chapter 32
Since Zhou Xiao and Tang Mingcheng both wanted to see the world at the snacks exhibition, Lin Gui arranged for them to be on duty in the store for half a day on the second day, and then have a paid day off on the third day to watch the competition held at the exhibition.
After preparing the snacks and some other equipment for the next day, Lin Gui took inventory again.
The fifteen kinds of snacks are all packed in sufficient quantities, and a few pet toys are also brought in so that we can promote them when the time comes. There are also some promotional posters shot with Da Huang as a guest star.
Pets are allowed at the exhibition, so you need to bring all the pet supplies, including Dahuang and his own small belongings.
After checking the items, Lin Gui welcomed the next day with peace of mind.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Gui brought Zhou Xiao and Da Huang to the entrance of the exhibition venue. At this time, the exhibition hall had not yet opened. The exhibition started at ten o'clock in the morning. Most of the people who arrived at the exhibition hall at this time were colleagues.
Zhou Xiao glanced left and right, and whispered to Lin Gui, "Boss, it seems like there are quite a lot of big brands here this time. Look at how much stuff they've brought."
Lin Gui also noticed that there were seven or eight people from that brand, plus the items they brought, it seemed that the display stand they were assigned was very large. According to the organizing committee, since some brands produce a lot of products, the display stands are also allocated according to the number of types of items reported.
What Aunt Ye can do to help is to try to assign a better position to Lin Gui among the merchants who have reported a similar number as Lin Gui.
But it is still not as good as those of big enterprises, but Lin Gui is already very satisfied.
At 8:30 in the morning, the lobby finally opened. Lin Gui was one of the first people in. She quickly found her booth, and she and Zhou Xiao began setting up the space. They spread out the tablecloth, placed all the snack samples and information cards, and then put up the remaining snacks. Then they put up the promotional posters, and there seemed to be nothing else to do.
Lin Gui was also new to setting up this kind of exhibition, so she had little experience. After finishing the products, she and Zhou Xiao stared at each other. There seemed to be quite a lot of stuff before they were ready, but how could there be nothing to do once they were all here?
There was still an hour before the exhibition officially started, and there might be some customers coming during this hour, so Lin Gui and Zhou Xiao decided that they would each look at the stall for half an hour and walk around the exhibition for the other half hour.
Zhou Xiao first looked at the stalls for half an hour, and Lin Gui went to see what other people were setting up, and took a walk with Da Huang. Fortunately, she came at the right time, and at this time some merchants hurried in and started to set up, so Lin Gui just had the opportunity to observe.
You don’t know until you see it, some businesses have too many tricks.
There are some places where you can get free peripherals by checking in. You can win a small exquisite gift by adding the merchant’s official account, including a mouse, snacks, stickers and pillows.
Some people brought their own pets to deceive people. It was a pity that Lin Gui only brought one puppy, Dahuang, and the number of puppies was not as many as others. Next time there is a chance, I will definitely hold a beauty pageant in Xiaowangzhuang and bring more puppies.
Some of them held small games, where you could get snacks by tossing rings, and there were also some small games such as basketball shooting, dart throwing, etc. Lin Gui exclaimed that they were so good that he felt like playing games on the third day as well as the second day.
Others even used a big trick, knowing that snacks are very tempting for furry children, so they directly pulled out the power strip at the exhibition and used the induction cooker to make snacks on the spot.
This is similar to what Lin Gui did before when she made snacks in front of the store. Lin Gui was stunned when she saw this. She actually could do this. She must have too little experience and too thin-skinned. If she had known earlier, she would have brought her set of cookware and could have taken a video by the way.
009 also felt very disappointed in himself: "Host, if we can do it, then what's the point of them? We can just dominate this exhibition and our snacks will be the most delicious."
It was too late for Lin Gui to regret now, so she ran to the booth of the snack manufacturer to see what they were making. After all, many pet snacks were difficult to make and could not be done with an induction cooker.
It's a pity that the exhibition hasn't started yet and they haven't made it yet. However, Lin Gui noticed that there was a finished product that looked like ham. He guessed that it was just fried ham. After all, the snacks that can be made on an induction cooker are limited.
After shopping for a while, there were finally some normal businesses. There were many businesses displaying their products just like Lin Gui. Seeing that there were still some businesses like her, Lin Gui felt much more relieved.
However, those normal merchants seemed to be confused by the operations of the previous ones. Judging from their expressions, it seems that the next pet snack exhibition will be lively again. After all, this is the first pet snack exhibition, and there are no exhibition regulations yet, so everyone is groping their way here.
If everyone uses all their skills, the pet snack exhibition will probably become a pet snack temple fair.
After Lin Gui finished visiting the now decorated booths, she saw that it was almost time, so she went back to take over Zhou Xiao's shift. When taking over Zhou Xiao's shift, Lin Gui deliberately did not tell Zhou Xiao about the layout of other people's homes that she had seen, as she wanted to give Zhou Xiao a surprise.
Sure enough, when Zhou Xiao came back, his face was full of expressions, which eventually turned into one sentence, "Boss, we will also bring a barbecue machine next time."
“?” What barbecue machine? Why didn’t I see it? Lin Gui was surprised.
After listening to what Zhou Xiao said, I realized that the store that had an induction cooker also had a sausage grilling machine. That was amazing, and Lin Gui really admired him.
Zhou Xiao came over with Da Huang and complained to Lin Gui, "Boss, look at Da Huang, he's eating other people's grilled sausages and fried meat."
Lin Gui looked down at Dahuang, who had a harmless smile on his face, but looked very happy. Most people here liked puppies very much, and it seemed that Dahuang got a lot of petting from others.
Even though Dahuang has been eating snacks produced by the system for such a long time, he is still curious about that company's products. It seems that this exhibition is very secretive. Lin Gui feels a little competitive pressure.
Zhou Xiao came back and it was time for the exhibition to officially begin. Customers came in one after another with their pets, and there were also many bloggers from the pet area who came with selfie sticks to review the products.
The exhibition gradually became lively. Of course, the first ones to start doing business were the more eye-catching ones. According to Lin Gui's observation, the merchants with imaginative layouts seemed to have good traffic, and their booths were surrounded by many people. Next came the big brands seen before, who occupied large spaces and had some loyal customers.
The rest of the people will come to small shops like Lin Gui, but Lin Gui doesn't mind this. After all, starting a business requires slow development and accumulating reputation. For example, Ertu Snack Shop now has some loyal customers.
The first person to come to Lin Gui's booth was a familiar little dog, Jingjing. Lin Gui looked up and saw Jingjing coming with Xu Xinyue.
After her previous popularity, Xu Xinyue has also become a well-known pet blogger in Pingshi. There is an exhibition in Pingshi this time, and as a blogger in this category, she naturally has to come and see it first. Jingjing saw Dahuang from a distance and pulled her over. Dahuang also noticed Jingjing, and the two dogs sniffed each other and bumped their heads in a friendly manner.
Lin Gui and Xu Xinyue started to chat with each other. Since Xu Xinyue was an old customer, she had basically bought all the products in Ertu Snack Shop and was very familiar with them. Lin Gui didn't know what topic to talk about with her for a while, and finally leaned on Jingjing.
"I heard that the taste of Jingjing's bones has started to change. Is there any development trend?" Lin Gui realized something was wrong as soon as she brought up this topic. She was too quick to bring up the topic and was filled with regret.
However, after more than half a month, Xu Xinyue no longer cared about this matter, and openly shared with Lin Gui the Jingjing Little Bone Change 1.0 Plan.
Finally, it was suggested that Lin Gui take Da Huang out to play more often, but Da Huang should not have this worry. After all, Da Huang's breed is not Big Devil, and Lin Gui is not a member of Big Victims Alliance. As a ninja, Xu Xinyue's patience is growing rapidly.
Not long after the conversation, Xu Xinyue was about to take Jingjing away. After all, the opportunity to come to the exhibition is quite rare, and she also wanted to see what the other stores are like. Jingjing was reluctant to leave Dahuang at first, but after Lin Gui gave it some meatballs to feed it, Xu Xinyue took it away.
After Xu Xinyue left, people came to Lin Gui's booth with their pets one after another. Unlike other exhibitions, the pet snack exhibition serves furry children, so as long as the products are liked by furry children, parents will have an impression of this brand.
Most of the people who come here first look at what products are available at Lin Gui's booth, and then pick one to feed their pets to see if they like it. The snacks at Ertu Snack Shop completely cater to the pets' appetites, making their eyes light up. After they finish eating one by one, they still hum for more.
Of course, Lin Gui has to meet the needs of the furry kids and let them try one by one.
Samoyed: "What is this? What is this? It's delicious. I want more."
Husky: "Let me take a look, let me take a look, don't rush and let me take it."
The puppies were all waiting to try the food, and when they saw that it was not their turn, they became anxious and almost started fighting, barking at each other. Lin Gui began to discover a small bug in the pet exhibition. If the pets fought at the exhibition, who would be to blame?
But, we have Dahuang, a dog that has experienced many battles. Lin Gui was still worried when she saw Dahuang running into the middle of the puppies that were barking at each other, blocking them, and then they barked at each other a few times, and they gradually stopped barking. Oh my God, Dahuang is really a divine dog.
The two dogs that were yelling at each other were an Alaskan and a Shiba Inu. Their owners held them together when they were arguing to prevent them from fighting, but they couldn't cover the mouths of the two dogs. Fortunately, there was Dahuang, Lin Gui thought secretly.
Seeing that the dogs here were no longer making noise, Dahuang even lined them up one by one. Based on the principle of first come first served, everyone stopped making noise. Lin Gui finally felt relieved and distributed food to them one by one. The dogs calmed down. The ones who were most relieved were their parents. When the dogs were barking at each other just now, the parents were afraid that they would fight.
Even parents passing by with their pets who saw that a fight was about to break out took their pets away quickly, for fear that their own children would be involved.
Fortunately, Dahuang calmed down. This problem will occur in all the popular booths. The place with the barbecue machine had the most people before, which led to the most puppies, so now the barking is the loudest. The person in charge of their booth was very happy at first, but now he has become frowning.
