"You're such a wonderful girl. You're so patient at such a young age. I've never seen such a beautiful and eloquent girl in my life. If my son weren't so unworthy of you, I would really like to bring you home as my daughter-in-law," the older woman exclaimed.
Chu Yu was both amused and exasperated. Xiao Qin, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Sister, you can't take her back! She's our boss at Mandarin. If you take her away, Mandarin will be without a boss. Who will pay our salaries?"
The older sister stared at Chu Yu in shock, after all, Chu Yu was quite young and looked like she was still in school.
"Young lady, how old are you?"
When Chu Yu told her her age, the older woman was even more surprised, "You're so young and you're already running a company? I thought you were still in school."
"I am indeed still in school."
"Oh? What school do you go to? My daughter is also studying at a university in Beijing."
"I'm from Tsinghua University, and I'll be a senior next year."
Not only the eldest sister, but everyone around was astonished. Chu Yu, at such a young age, not only owned a cosmetics company, but was also a student at Tsinghua University.
No, if we look at it from another angle, those who can get into Tsinghua University are not ordinary people, otherwise they wouldn't be so capable at such a young age.
Don't let her unassuming appearance fool you, she takes it all!
"Pack up all the eye cream, toner, serum, lotion, and face cream for me... Oh, and the face wash too. This eye cream looks pretty small, so get me two bottles."
Chu Yu immediately had someone wrap it up for her and thoughtfully wrote a sticky note telling her the correct skincare steps, afraid that she might use them in the wrong order.
In most families, once the money is paid, they won't care whether you live or die. But Chu Yu was very polite from beginning to end, which moved the older sister.
And so, for the entire afternoon, Chu Yu spent her time explaining and promoting the product to everyone. She was beautiful, eloquent, and had a good service attitude. Moreover, she was a graduate of Tsinghua University, so the customers who came and went all liked her and trusted her.
I figured anything recommended by Tsinghua University students must be good.
Almost everyone in the crowd had a set, even though the skincare products were really expensive, costing over a hundred yuan for a whole set, they all thought it was a good deal!
Chu Yu pondered that this was also thanks to the popularity of the TV series "The Businesswoman". The show made the Mandarin brand popular. People saw the actresses in the show using this skin care product. It wasn't sold in mainland China before, so how could people not buy it now that they could use the same product as the celebrities?
Chu Yu designed high-end packaging boxes, and during the opening promotion, customers who purchased a set received free skincare and cosmetic products.
Customers were quite receptive, and Chu Yu also felt the money-making power of cosmetics.
Selling clothes requires stocking up on inventory, designing styles in advance, and dealing with different sizes. Sometimes, a style designed to be a bestseller this year may not sell well next year.
In addition, clothing sales are also affected by the weather; winter clothes such as down jackets are not easy to sell in winters that are not too cold.
Selling cosmetics is different. Cosmetics take up very little space, are easy to transport, have high unit prices, and face no competition. Even if competitors want to imitate them, as long as the patented formula exists, they cannot replicate the effects of mandarin.
Chu Yu is not afraid of unfair competition from others. Skin care products are not affected by the seasons. At most, the demand for skin care products will be higher when it is cold in winter.
These high-priced products really resonated with Chu Yu. After all, it felt really good to sell hundreds of skincare products in just one afternoon, even though they seemed unremarkable!
A set of skincare products costs anywhere from seventy or eighty to one or two hundred yuan. Some people even buy several sets to give as gifts. Putting aside everything else, the demand for gifts in mainland China alone guarantees Mandarin's sales performance.
Xiao Qin had heard of the brand Mandarin, but before she came here to work as a saleswoman, she really didn't know that this skincare product line could sell so well.
Saleswomen all receive commissions. Xiao Qin earned several yuan in commissions in just one afternoon, and her monthly commissions alone amounted to one or two hundred yuan.
However, she was also a little uneasy. The boss's arrival set a sales ceiling. In the future, when the boss is no longer here, it is still unknown whether Xiao Qin can reach this amount on her own.
Xiao Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief after working until the department store closed at night.
She organized the remaining goods, checked the inventory, identified what needed to be restocked, and applied to headquarters to have it delivered.
After finishing her work, Xiao Qin cleaned and tidied up the counter.
"Boss, you're a real sales genius."
Another young woman said, "Our boss is beautiful, cultured, and has an excellent speaking style. She is also very approachable and polite to everyone, which makes customers trust her."
The two nodded at the same time, realizing that they were still quite a distance from Chu Yu.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "We at Mandarin have strict requirements for recruiting sales clerks. The fact that you were hired proves that you have your own strengths."
The little girl was surprised. "What are my strengths? My mom says I'm lazy and ugly. I don't think I have any strengths at all."
"Of course you did! During the interview, you were explaining the key points of the interview to the other interviewees and you also selflessly shared your skincare and makeup secrets. We at Mandarin have two implicit requirements for hiring sales assistants: first, you need to have a willingness to share, know how to do makeup and skincare, and understand some basic common sense; second, you need to be patient with customers and have a service-oriented mindset. On top of that, if you can speak Mandarin well and have good skin, those are all pluses."
The girl's name was Sun Xiaohong. She entered the company at the same time as Xiao Qin. She thought that the interviewer from Mandarin couldn't find anyone else, so he chose her. After all, in her parents' eyes, Sun Xiaohong was the most useless person in the world!
The boss must be blind to hire her and pay her such a high salary.
After Chu Yu said that, Sun Xiaohong realized that the boss was not stupid. Although she lacked experience and was not as eloquent as others, as the boss said, she was very willing to share skincare products with others. Even if customers did not buy anything, but only asked her about makeup knowledge, she was willing to teach them.
