Chapter 1
November 17th, Sunday, sunny, very suitable for going out.
After several days of intensive teaching by Wang Erya, Lili has mastered all the knitting methods. Although she is not yet proficient enough to knit while watching TV, her progress is very encouraging.
Thanks to Lili's tireless, day and night, high-intensity 007 work, Jiang Qi has accumulated a batch of brocade for wholesale.
After teaching Lili, Wang Erya began to specialize in the Kangjian knot. Determined to keep improving and show her ability to Jiang Qi, Wang Erya was not satisfied with the simplest flower bud style Kangjian knot.
She is trying to weave a lotus-shaped Kangjian knot.
It is said to be very difficult and has never been successful.
Although business suffered a setback, this did not affect Wang Erya's travel plans on Sunday.
She was going to have dinner, go shopping and watch a movie with Qingqing on Sunday, all of which were arranged in advance. This was Wang Erya's first time going out with friends, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night and played lace with Lili all night.
After tying the net, Wang Erya didn’t even have breakfast. She went downstairs to buy two buns and went to the appointment. She and Qingqing agreed to meet at the entrance of the pedestrian street at 8 o’clock in the morning.
Jiang Qi really admires the junior and senior high school students who are used to getting up early. If Jiang Qi goes out to play with friends, it is considered early to meet at the hotel entrance at 11 a.m., and basically they make appointments in the afternoon and evening.
Wang Erya went out to keep an appointment, and Jiang Qi also went out to keep an appointment.
He was going to a date with Jiang Jun.
After several days of discussion, Jiang Jun has worked out a specific plan and invited Jiang Qi and other participating store owners to attend a meeting at the JC at 1:00 p.m. on November 17.
Speaking of which, JC's connections are really good. Jiang Jun has contacted a total of 7 stores in the past few days, all of which are large stores of decent scale.
These stores have a stable customer base and relatively abundant funds. They have high-quality city-exclusive products, the overall level of DM is good, and they are located throughout Xuncheng. They have no enemies or rivals with each other. It can be seen that Jiang Jun carefully screened the people he recruited.
After lunch, Jiang Qi took a taxi to the JC.
Having known Jiang Jun for so long, Jiang Jun has called her Sister Jun. Jiang Jun has eaten the employee meals at the Xinghe Braised Food Restaurant. This is Jiang Qi's first time to go to JC.
The moment he walked into JC, Jiang Qi felt that JC was indeed worthy of being recognized as the No. 1 script store in Xuncheng. Standing at the gate, he could tell that the decoration of this store was carefully designed.
This elaborate design does not refer to ostentation. You don't even need to go in to know that the owner of this store must be rich just by looking at the store sign.
It’s impossible to set up a store of several thousand square meters without money.
JC's shop is not like most script-killing shops which have two floors, with a lobby on the first floor and business premises on the second floor. JC's shop is a large flat with an area of approximately 600 square meters.
The hotel covers an area of more than 600 square meters and has 13 rooms, some of which are theme rooms with secret passages and mechanisms. In addition to the rooms, there are also toilets, prop rooms, changing rooms, front desk, and a waiting area for guests.
JC did not waste any space, and although he was wealthy, he also seemed to be very cost-conscious.
Jiang Qi felt that this decoration concept was worthy of learning for a poor person like him. Jiang Bing's friend who was engaged in interior design had not yet finished drawing the blueprints, so it was time to make some more requirements.
"Jiang Qi, this way." Jiang Jun waved at Jiang Qi with a smile and led Jiang Qi into the innermost room.
It was a modern room with a projector, very suitable for showing PPTs and holding meetings. Cao Luoping and Manager Xu were both there. Jiang Qi counted and found that there should be a few shop owners who had not arrived yet.
"Boss Jiang, this way, I've saved a seat for you." Manager Xu smiled and waved at him, then naturally introduced Jiang Qi to all the shop owners present, "This is Boss Jiang Qi, the owner of Xinghe Script Agency."
"Hello, Boss Jiang."
"I've heard a lot about you."
"Thank you, Boss Jiang, for providing the net."
"If there is a chance, our two stores can cooperate together!"
The shop owners present responded enthusiastically.
Jiang Qi added everyone's WeChat one by one, turned around and saw that Manager Xu was reporting the meeting situation to Yan Huaiyou——
The situation is that people haven't arrived yet and it hasn't started yet.
"Why didn't Yan Huaiyou come? I thought he would come with you." Jiang Qi said.
"The boss said he doesn't like meetings," said Manager Xu.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived.
The speaker of this conference was Cao Luoping. Although Jiang Jun was responsible for contacting Jiang Qi and Yan Huaiyou, Cao Luoping's interpersonal relationships in the Xuncheng script circle were actually much better than Jiang Jun's. More than half of the store owners present participated in the event for Cao Luoping's sake.
Cao Luoping was responsible for the lecture and Jiang Jun was responsible for presenting the PPT.
"Everyone, these are the preliminary rules for our blind box event."
"First of all, all participating stores share a new membership system, and customers will earn points when they shop at any store. In order to encourage and stimulate customer consumption, we have tentatively decided that 200 points are enough to draw a blind box once."
“The pricing and probability of each item in the blind box are as follows. When the time comes, you will need to get a special display board and make this picture public in the store.”
The prices of all the necklaces are set by Jiang Qi, and there are four price levels: 58, 78, 998 and 1998.
Numbers 58 and 78 are ordinary knots, number 998 is a flower bud-shaped Kang Jian knot, and number 1998 is a flower-shaped Kang Jian knot that Wang Erya has not yet woven.
On the chart, each network has its corresponding name, pattern and price, only the pattern of 1998 is empty.
"Is there no picture of the 1998 first prize Kang Jian Jie?" someone asked.
"Not yet. Our store staff hasn't made one yet." Jiang Qi said, carefully taking out the Kangjian knot that Wang Erya had given him from his bag. "But I can guarantee that the Kangjian knot in 1998 is definitely more exquisite than this one."
Jiang Qi placed the Kang Jian knot in the center of the table.
Since the eight appointment groups of the Galaxy Script Club are full of undercover agents lurking in various stores, many stores have even played "MasterChef Competition" and "Horror Doll House" in the Galaxy Script Club, so the bosses present in Kang Jianjie's circle of friends have already seen them before.
But the picture is different from the real thing.
When you look at the picture, you will think: Wow, so beautiful, I want it so much.
When you see the real thing, you will think: Wow, a work of art!
The artwork was now placed in the center of the table, and no one in the shop dared to even reach out and touch it.
"What could be more exquisite than this?" exclaimed the shopkeeper closest to Kangjian Knot.
"Isn't 1998 a bit cheap?" Before even seeing the real thing, someone has already decided to raise the price of another version of the Kangjian knot.
Cao Luoping took several close-up photos of Kang Jianjie and then continued his PPT presentation.
There is not much content in the ppt. The core idea is that everyone must unite in this event. No one can betray midway. It is strictly forbidden to sell items in the blind box. Once discovered, the seller will be removed from the list immediately.
After talking about what has been planned, we have to talk about what has not been planned.
"Boss Jiang proposed an exchange activity to me yesterday that I think can be adopted. In fact, from the chart just now, you can see that there are actually hundreds of types of branding in our blind box this time, and each type of branding has many different colors."
"Boss Jiang thinks that each type of brocade can be considered as a separate series. Collecting brocades of a series can be exchanged for surprise prizes, and collecting all types of brocades can be directly exchanged for surprise grand prizes. Of course, I think this is impossible." Cao Luoping said with a smile, "At present, the charts and probabilities in the prize pool I have given are only for brocades, but Jiang Jun and I both feel that brocades alone cannot attract all customers."
"We can add other prizes, such as coupons for free boxed scripts, city-exclusive half-price coupons, and monthly free-drink coupons. Boss Jiang is also willing to provide priority purchase rights for their store's braised dishes. I wonder if you have any good ideas? You can bring them up now."
A female boss with green hair spoke up: "You can join our store to get free cat-stroking coupons. I opened a cat cafe two months ago."
This is a side job.
"You can add snack gift vouchers. We buy snacks at wholesale prices anyway."
"How about a coupon for a haircut and blow-dry at a designated barbershop? My dad owns a barbershop."
"You should buy multiple coupons for haircuts and blow-drying. A single coupon doesn't seem very attractive."
"If that's the case, my family actually..."
Facts have proved that most script store owners who are doing well in Xuncheng have some side jobs.
After a heated discussion, the number of gifts in the blind box suddenly increased. Everyone listed what they could provide, and the specific screening was done by Cao Luoping and Jiang Jun.
"Now then… we only have one last thing to discuss."
"What is the surprise prize that can be redeemed after collecting each series?"
This question stumped everyone.
You can stuff R and N cards into the prize pool at will, they are not valuable anyway. But the surprise prize must be at least SR, even if it is not SSR. Regardless of whether it is actually valuable or not, it must look valuable at first glance, so what to stuff in it is worth discussing.
"Isn't it possible to have a healthy knot?" someone suggested.
"Didn't Boss Jiang just say that it takes more than ten hours to weave the most common health knot? You can draw a prize once you spend 200 yuan, and you can also use your membership card. You can draw after playing the ordinary boxed book three times. If it is a city-exclusive and expensive one, you can only draw once. Customers will definitely buy or exchange it privately at that time. It shouldn't be too difficult to collect a whole series."
"What if there are too many guests and Boss Jiang can't provide so many health knots?"
"Besides, not every customer wants a healthy knot, right? There should be more choices for this kind of surprise prize."
"The Kangjian knot is 998, and the surprise prize is 1,000 yuan. I think considering the difficulty of collecting the surprise prize, the 1,000 yuan standard is a bit low, right?"
“Is this still low?”
"I think it's a bit low, but Kang Jian Jie is exclusive and can't be measured by price alone. If it were something else, the 1,000 yuan standard might be a bit low."
A group of people started discussing it, but no one could give any specific answer.
Manager Xu was sending messages to Yan Huaiyou frantically, and his phone was vibrating like an alarm clock.
"How about providing a monthly unlimited script card as a prize?" someone asked.
This proposal was approved by the vast majority of people.
The Single-Month Unlimited Script Card is a monthly card that allows you to play all the scripts in the store unlimitedly within one month.
Some stores do sell it, and the price is generally around 1000. It seems like a good deal, but the store actually makes no loss.
Because of carpooling, time and other factors, most customers who buy monthly cards will not play many copies in a month. Based on the price of 78 yuan per box, a monthly card of 1,000 yuan can play about 13 copies.
If a person plays 13 script-killing games a month, he can be considered a very enthusiastic script-killing enthusiast. Normal enthusiasts are like Zhou Yuan, who plays 1-2 times a week when the frequency is relatively high.
Playing script-killing games too much will strain your brain and eyes and give you a headache.
"Is it unlimited play in all stores for a single month?"
"Of course, otherwise how could it be attractive? And the loss of a single card is not much, it is definitely not a loss to open it as a jackpot."
"Too."
Just when everyone was wondering what else could be compared to the monthly card, Manager Xu suddenly said, "How about our year-round ice cream voucher?"
"I just asked our boss, he can provide year-round free-flowing ice cream coupons (limited to once a day), monthly passes for free play in the escape room, half-year mahjong passes, monthly passes for free-flowing staples such as curry and rice (limited to twice a day), and half-year free-flowing milk tea and coffee coupons (limited to once a day)."
Everyone:!
After a long while, Jiang Qi sighed: "It really is worthy of being Yan Huaiyou."
Rich and willful.
Fortunately, Boss Zhen offended the police instead of Yan Huaiyou, otherwise Yan Huaiyou could use his money power to hit him to death.
"Our boss also thinks that we can also promote this event, such as billboards at bus stops, promotional posters at shopping malls, promotion on short video platforms, soft advertising by internet celebrities, and evaluation promotion at the start of the event."
"Then our boss wants to put your name at the front. Do you have any objection to this?"
"No problem, no problem." Everyone said.
When it comes to advertising, Yan Huaiyou is a professional.
With Yan Huaiyou's lead, Jiang Qi was also inspired: "If this is the case, our store can actually provide prizes and put them directly into the prize pool."
"A braised food redemption voucher for a designated date during the Chinese New Year, and a 15-jin braised food gift pack." Jiang Qi threw out the ultimate braised food offer.
"This isn't a good idea..." Jiang Jun was a little entangled. "Boss Jiang, the braised food in your store should be easy to sell. Will this affect the normal business of your store?"
"No." Jiang Qi shook his head, "I don't plan to open a store during the New Year."
Although Chinese New Year is supposed to be the busiest time of the year for script-killing shops and braised food shops, Jiang Qi has no plans to open during these days.
Most of the employees in the store who receive salaries are locals. They are young and will definitely visit relatives and friends to wish each other a happy new year during the Spring Festival.
Jiang Qi didn't want to go to work during the New Year. On a day like New Year when the whole family reunites and has a big meal every day, who wouldn't want to lie happily in bed?
The boss wants it too!
After a pleasant exchange, everyone agreed that this blind box activity had great prospects and was a good activity worthy of investment. The whole room was filled with laughter, as if old friends were gathering together for many years.
By three o'clock, all pending matters had been finalized. Just as everyone was about to leave, a boss suddenly said with a smile, "If anyone has a suitable book in their store at this time, I think it would be great if we could go and make one together."
All of a sudden, a name named Ben came to Jiang Qi's mind.
Killing the Script Killing Shop Owner
Isn’t this a coincidence?
Except for Manager Xu, everyone here is the owner of a script-killing store.
"That's a good idea, Lao Cao. Does your store have any new and good books? Let us try them out!"
"Playing the game? I have something else tonight, so I may not be able to play."
"It's okay, just watch from the side for a while!"
Cao Luoping began to wonder if he had anything worth having so many bosses play together.
This is a luxurious lineup.
"Actually, I have a new book in my store that I received some time ago. It's very suitable for everyone to play with today. But it's just a hardcore reasoning book, so it takes a long time to read." Jiang Qi said.
Everybody laughed. All those present were script-killing shop owners. Except for a few purely emotional players who did not play hardcore reasoning books, most people considered themselves to be fairly good reasoning players.
Except for the two eccentrics Jiang Qi and Yan Huaiyou, most of the bosses who have been able to run a store to its current scale can be said to have read countless books.
"What is hard-core reasoning afraid of?"
"That's right, Boss Jiang, what's the name of the new notebook your store has received? Maybe I've even tested it at the exhibition!"
"Kill the Script-Killing Shop Owner."
For some reason, everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Where have I heard this name before?"
"Oh, it's that one! The one that Boss Jiang really likes to buy, the one that's super expensive!"
"You mean the exclusive one that costs tens of thousands, right? Then you have to play it! I haven't played this expensive one that's not a real scene exclusive one yet!"
"Let's go to Boss Jiang's store and experience the same thing."
Jiang Qi began to check today's book opening information to see if Old John had any book to open today.
Very good, no, it’s just right to catch a group of script-killing store owners to test the script in person.
This book has not been tested since Old John finished reading it. Jiang Qi used to think that there was no need to test it. He and Liu Lan didn't quite understand the host manual. Judging from the reasoning level of the existing employees in the store, taking the test would probably mean going to jail.
It's not necessarily the kind that you can understand clearly.
Jiang Qi sent a WeChat message to Old John asking him to prepare first. He immediately took a group of script-killing store owners back to test "Killing the Script-Killing Store Owners", and then found out that today was Sunday and there was no room in the store.
"Manager Xu, does your store have any empty rooms? Lend me one. We are out of rooms in our store." Jiang Qi said in a low voice.
"Yes." Manager Xu said affirmatively, "Just go there directly."
"Okay, let's go directly! There are no rooms in my store, let's go and play. This is a 5-person dungeon, you can OB." Jiang Qi said loudly.
"Okay! I'm ob."
"Are there any of you who came here by car? I'll take a ride with you."
"Let's try to finish today early!"
Jiang Qi wanted to say, it might be too late.
The recommended game time written in the host manual is 12 to 15 hours.
If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will have to stay overnight to experience the quality of the midnight snack.
Yes, a late-night snack service has recently been launched.
Jiang Qi suspected that if it wasn't November now, he would definitely launch a crayfish midnight snack set.
I don’t know how the midnight snack tastes.
It's really exciting!
