Chapter 511 Counterfeit Goods
If you're going to sell scented dew, you have to highlight its advantages, benefits, and unique features. Otherwise, why would anyone spend twenty taels of silver to buy it? Because if you buy it, you can make a wish and have it fulfilled.
Aunt Fu's secret to success was her deep understanding of the villagers' desire for bargains and their superstitious nature. So she used eggs from her home to lure them in little by little.
"Aunt Fu, I have a question."
Someone in the crowd asked a question. They knew that these perfumes were not blessed by a master. After cheating the villagers, how could Aunt Fu still maintain her position in the village? Wouldn't the villagers cause trouble if they bought them and found they were useless?
"That's a good question, you've hit the nail on the head."
The wealthy man nodded in satisfaction. In this line of work, you start by swindling people close to you; the more people you recruit, the greater your profits. If your downline sells the perfume, you also get a share. It's like making money with no investment and almost no effort.
"When I first joined in, I never thought that the perfume would be useless."
Aunt Fu was tricked into joining the organization without her knowledge. The first bottle of perfume she sold was to the village chief's wife, simply because the village chief had an affair with a widow in the village, and the village chief's wife wanted the two to break off their relationship.
Aunt Fu didn't know if the perfume would work, but two days after it was sold, the widow's daughter went back to her parents' home and took the person away.
The village chief went to the widow's door every day to look around, but she never returned. It was said that she had moved to the city and was living with her son-in-law, making it inconvenient for the two of them to continue their secret rendezvous.
The village chief's wife was overjoyed and very grateful to Aunt Fu.
"Because my family was poor, we were looked down upon in the village. Ever since the village chief's wife solved her problems, I have been convinced of this and recruited her as my downline."
Over the past six months, Aunt Fu has sold a portion of the goods herself. The reason she received such a high return is mainly because she developed a good downline. The village chief's wife is eloquent and has played a significant role in this.
"The important thing is recognizing people; I really didn't put in much effort."
After finishing her story, Aunt Fu pointed to the gold bracelet she was wearing, her eyes filled with tears. It was made of pure gold, and she had never imagined in her life that she could own such precious jewelry. Now, all the wives in the village had become her downlines, and she believed that the profits would be even better in the second half of the year.
As for the two acres of meager land at home, she no longer cultivates it. Her family has hired a long-term worker in the next village to help with chores. It's unexpected that she would have such good fortune in her old age.
"Thanks to the organization for transforming me."
When Aunt Fu finished her speech, thunderous applause erupted, and everyone cheered. If an old woman from the village, who had never seen the world, could possess such skills, it showed that this line of work had low barriers to entry, required no hard labor, and the more people you recruited, the wealthier you became.
"Grandma Fu's secret to making money is developing a downline."
The wealthy gentleman summarized and offered some words of encouragement, which further fueled the enthusiasm of the group.
Lin Yuesha looked around and saw that everyone who had come here was a key member of the pyramid scheme, someone who had earned over a thousand taels of silver in six months. They were all gathered together to exchange experiences in order to earn more money.
"This year we invited Miss Lin from Cangzhou again. The legendary Miss Lin is better in person than she is in person. She is actually a young girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage."
Miss Lin earned over ten thousand taels of silver in half a year, making her the number one person in Cangzhou.
"Miss, they seem to be talking about you."
Bai Cha was acting suspiciously. Was the person on stage trying to get her to come up and share her experience? What would happen if they found out she was innocently dragged into this?
"Anyway, the outcome won't be good."
Lin Yuesha was very troubled. She had seen the madness of pyramid schemes on TV in her previous life, but she never expected that such organizations also existed in Daqi. This business of swindling and making money has a long history.
"What should we do then?"
Bai Cha was a little worried. She thought she had seen the world since coming to the capital, but unexpectedly, there were always difficulties and obstacles in front of her.
At least, we have to get through this hurdle.
"Miss, I believe you."
Thinking of her young mistress's eloquence, Bai Cha was no longer worried and simply relaxed to watch the show.
Lin Yuesha was thirsty, but dared not drink the water for fear of it being spiked. She could only swallow her saliva and reluctantly walk up to the platform.
She had absolutely no experience with pyramid schemes.
"Miss Lin, you are so capable at such a young age. Whoever marries you will be marrying a golden goose."
Some people below were envious and sighed.
"Yeah yeah."
The others kept echoing their sentiments.
Lin Yuesha wanted to curse, "You're the hen, your whole family are hens!"
Even a hen that lays golden eggs is still just a chicken.
If Lin Yuesha were to openly rebuke these shameless liars, she might find herself unable to leave the platform, as everyone was waiting for her to share her valuable insights.
"I came all the way from Cangzhou to the capital just to meet you all. You are all elites in this field."
Lin Yuesha praised everyone first, but that one sentence gave her away.
"Miss Lin, aren't you a native of Cangzhou? Why do you speak with a northern accent?"
Someone raised a question, and the rest of the people looked at Lin Yuesha with suspicion.
Lin Yuesha's lips twitched. Why? Because she was an imposter!
But she had to get past the first hurdle. Glancing at Bai Cha, who was sweating bullets for her, Lin Yuesha smiled calmly and said, "This is the first point I want to make."
“I have a current subordinate who is from the north. However, this person only likes to deal with people from the north. He has been in Cangzhou for many years, but his accent is hard to change. He misses his hometown. In order to get closer to him, I decided to learn the northern dialect.”
The first step to success is to identify your goal and work towards it.
The northern dialect has only a slight accent and is not difficult. Lin Yuesha said that she studied it for three months and even forgot that she was from Cangzhou.
"You're really amazing! When you speak, there's not a trace of your Cangzhou accent."
There were people from Cangzhou in the audience, who, according to seniority, were still considered to be below Miss Lin.
It's surprising that Ms. Lin, at such a young age, has such a well-thought-out plan and has invested a considerable amount in it.
On the other hand, none of them were willing to put in so much effort to find downlines. At most, they would visit a few times, but they never thought of catering to the other party's preferences.
"Yes, I've been dealing with him a lot lately, and I'm still a bit out of sorts. I hope everyone can understand."
Lin Yuesha touched her nose, having successfully passed the first hurdle. Not only did she pass, but these people also treated her like a master, patiently seeking her guidance.
"Miss Lin, please don't keep anything to yourself."
Seeing that Lin Yuesha was unwilling to say more, the wealthy gentleman took the initiative to make an inviting gesture to urge her on, as he also wanted to learn the secrets behind it.
"Okay, since I'm here, I'm here to share."
Lin Yuesha humbly pointed out that she also needs to learn from others' strengths in order to make progress together.
