Chapter 115: Go for the Mission (Part 2)
A certain voice suddenly rang in Zhuang Qingning's mind.
Assigning her this task at this time, should we call it icing on the cake or timely assistance? [Anyway, the host will receive a generous reward after completing this task. ]
It's great to have a reward. She had originally been quite fond of this shop, so it coincided with the mission.
I'm just saying, you are something that doesn't belong to this world, and you believe in science in this world? Aren't you the most unscientific thing in this world? Isn't time travel the most unreasonable thing? [Host, you can't say that. I am a product of top technology. Time travel... well, it's too complicated to explain. It uses too much knowledge and is beyond the host's cognitive scope. If I explain it, I guess the host won't understand it, so I won't explain it...]
It’s okay, please start your story. I can ask if I don’t understand!
[Ahem, in short, the host's current mission is to rent this shop and use actual actions to prove that the bad feng shui of this shop is a myth.]
This time I finally understood that the bad feng shui of this shop is a myth, not that feng shui is a myth.
You know what, this guy is really serious when he speaks.
[Host, please hurry up and act now. Go for the generous rewards! ]
Okay.
For this generous reward.
Zhuang Qingning waited until the five in his mind completely disappeared and calmed himself down.
At this time, Zhang Yongchang was still nagging Zhuang Qingning: "It sounds a bit weird, maybe you are too young to believe it, but this is the case, the facts are in front of you, there is no way to disbelieve it, the two shops I picked for you are both good, think about it carefully and choose one."
Zhuang Qingning didn't want to reject Zhang Yongchang's kindness, but for this generous reward...
"Uncle Zhang."
Zhuang Qingning cleared his throat and said, "Sometimes, some things are just rumors. Once something happens, others will think there is something wrong. This spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and even something that is not true is said to be true."
"This shop is really nice, spacious and in a good location. I really want to rent it. Uncle Zhang, can you tell me where the owner is? I'll go find the owner and ask about the rent."
"So it's all in vain for me to talk for so long?" Zhang Yongchang glared at him when he heard this: "What's wrong with you, kid? I've told you that this won't work, this won't work, why are you still insisting on not turning back until you hit the wall?"
Seeing that Zhang Yongchang seemed to be angry, Zhuang Qingning chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't be so quick to get angry. Listen to my thoughts first."
"Then tell me!" Zhang Yongchang wanted to hear what Zhuang Qingning was thinking that made him rent this unlucky shop.
"Uncle Zhang, didn't you just say that this shop has bad feng shui in the town? Everyone knows about it, which means that this place is quite famous in the town. If I mention it, someone will definitely know about it. If I do business here, people will definitely spread the word. In this way, people who didn't know about my tofu stall before will probably know about my tofu shop."
"There's no need to beat drums and gongs or set off firecrackers to attract customers on the opening day. All you need to do is open the door and hang up a sign, and people will come uninvited."
"I kept this matter in mind, and thought that maybe if I did the opposite, I might get something great."
Zhuang Qingning looked at Zhang Yongchang with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, do you think this is true?"
Zhang Yongchang rubbed his eyebrows.
If you have to say so, it does make sense. When doing business, we often have to find new ways to do things.
When I was working as a cook in the county town, there was a merchant who brought a cart full of furs and rented a huge shop to sell them.
At that time, everyone else laughed at him, saying that the shop was opened at a wrong time. Furs are worn in winter, and the business is good only in the cold winter when it snows. At the very least, it has to be autumn. Only a fool would buy his furs now in the middle of summer.
But the merchant was neither impatient nor anxious, and did not care about what others said. He just said that the products were sold at a low price during the off-season, and if you wanted to get a bargain, come and buy them. If you don't want to, you can just wait until winter to buy more expensive ones.
As soon as these words were spoken, and the prices were indeed much cheaper than in winter, many people did not hesitate and went to buy them. The whole car full of furs was quickly sold out.
These were originally leftovers from last year, and had to be sold cheaply even in winter. But after the merchant said this, they were sold out early at the same cheap price. Not only did they get their money back, but they also did not delay the sale of new goods in winter. It was really a great deal.
Sometimes it is good to do business in an unconventional way.
It's just a matter of feng shui...
"I think you should think about this matter again. There are so many shops in this town, so you don't necessarily have to rent this one."
Zhang Yongchang thought it would be better not to take any risks.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry. People say I have a strong life. Since I have a strong life, I can handle many things."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "I really want to rent this shop, so let me give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I can try another one. You just told me that the shop has bad feng shui and is unlucky, but I don't believe it. I still want to give it a try. Why don't you let me give it a try? If this shop is really not good, I will learn from it and listen to the advice of the elderly. How do you think?"
These words made Zhang Yongchang lower his head and think for a long time.
It's just like a child holding a hot bowl. You keep telling him that his hands will be burned, but he won't listen. You don't have to say anything. Just let him gently try it with his hand. Once he gets burned, he will naturally be more careful next time.
The same is true for doing business. Those who have been through thick and thin should take advantage of their youth to explore more so that they will know what to avoid and what to insist on in the future.
"Alright, alright. I'm old and I can't argue with you. And you're stubborn and won't listen to advice. Just do what you want. I won't say anything."
Zhang Yongchang squinted his eyes and said, "But if anything happens in the future because of bad feng shui, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Of course I won't blame Uncle Zhang." Zhuang Qingning said with a playful smile, "But if business is bad at that time and we can't eat, I will definitely go find Uncle Zhang and get two good meals."
