"Hey! Hey!" Huang Wanzhen held her back. "If you don't want coffee, you can have orange juice. There's also a small cake. It's my treat." Seeing that these words couldn't impress the workaholic Song Wenyin, Huang Wanzhen used a big move. "I want to do another promotion for Linglong Pavilion. Let me hear my ideas."
Huang Wanzhen really put a lot of thought into it this time. She even came up with an advance recharge card, which is divided into four levels: plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo. There is a membership card printed with bamboo. If you recharge 50 yuan in advance, you will get one for free, which means free eyebrow trimming for life.
A membership card with a chrysanthemum printed on it costs 100 yuan in advance, and in addition to free eyebrow trimming, you can also get a free manicure once a month, of course, with a simpler style.
A membership card with orchids printed on it costs 200 yuan in advance. In addition to free eyebrow trimming and manicure, you can come to the store for free hair styling every month. This hair styling is not simple, as it not only provides makeup but also hair styling.
"Xiuqing is good at combing hair, but she's not good at cutting or perming hair. I'm going to spend some money to send Xiuqing to a hair salon to learn for a while. Once she learns, I'll buy her a set of tools, including a set of curling irons and curling tongs."
Song Wenyin frowned, "Without her here, the business of the store will be affected. Xiaoyan and Xiaoqi can't start their business yet."
Huang Wanzhen waved her hand nonchalantly, "Why don't we just let her pay to learn? We can spend a few more dollars and let her go when it's not busy or when there are no customers."
"Oh, by the way, if things get busy, we'll have to hire someone to take care of appointments and bookkeeping. Think about it, makeup is fine, but the skincare ingredients are all fresh and ready to use. When customers come, they have to wait for them to do their work. I've seen some customers get very impatient waiting, which really affects their return rate."
"We'll have an appointment system. Those who want to get skincare done can make an appointment in advance, and then come in and get it done right away. Those who forgot their appointment or want to come at the last minute can still come, but they'll have to wait a little longer."
After hearing this, Song Wenyin clapped her hands and said, "That's good. I'll write it down."
The two of them worked hard on the reforms, and by April, Linglong Pavilion was finally decorated inside and out. Xiuqing's stuff was also in place, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard again in front of Jixiang Hall and Linglong Pavilion.
The posts the two used to invite people this time were all produced by Jixiangtang. Since they were specifically promoting Linglongge products, all the people invited were women. Song Wenyin didn't have to worry, as all kinds of sisters came, and even Song's mother brought her poker friends to support her.
Huang Wanzhen's side was a bit lacking. Aside from a few familiar classmates, who could be counted on one hand: Shen Junru, Xu Shengyi, and Misbella. Oh! Misbella had only sent a note; Huang Wanzhen had just wanted to make her presence felt, not expecting her to come.
But what was more special was that she also invited a male customer, who was a little green among thousands of reds. That was Liu Zimo, who came early with a camera and started working. Huang Wanzhen treated him like a laborer. By three o'clock in the afternoon, many people came, and more than fifty of the lowest-quality Juzhu membership cards were sold.
For example, Song's mother contributed six cards, saying that she was going to give them to others. She also asked if she could use the cards to buy things in the store. Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin looked at each other and immediately agreed that they could buy cosmetics and accessories in Linglong Pavilion.
After hearing this, several wives actually followed suit.
Xu Shengyi was very considerate and bought two more tickets, saying that he would take them home to give to his mother and cousin.
The most famous one was Miss Bella, who Huang Wanzhen didn't expect to be so considerate. She came to the door at around four o'clock. Not only did she come by herself, she also brought a princess from the previous dynasty. She was dressed very fashionably and didn't look like a "princess" at all as one would imagine.
Seeing Miss Bella and her friend getting out of the car, Huang Wanzhen and Song Wenyin hurried forward to greet them. Miss Bella was wearing a lake green cheongsam today, and her hair was tied up in a bun, with a tuft of hair left on each side, and curled into curls. She looked a bit neither Chinese nor Western, but it looked good with Miss Bella's fair and elegant face.
After introducing Song Wenyin, Huang Wanzhen was very happy and led the two to Linglong Pavilion. Some ladies and ladies who had met Miss Bella also came forward to say hello. Miss Bella was very polite. After shaking hands with each of them, she also made a skin care set.
The arrival of a person like Misbella immediately raised the style of Linglong Pavilion to several levels.
Huang Wanzhen suggested, "Miss Bella, let Xiuqing redo your makeup and we can take a picture together."
Miss Bella nodded in agreement.
So everyone stood at the door and let Liu Zimo take a close-up photo.
Then, it was Miss Bella’s mascot moment, she just had to stand in the middle and the ladies came forward to take photos with her.
When they left, Miss Bella and Fashionable Princess bought membership cards, which made the Linglong Pavilion membership card look particularly high-end. Someone who had only bought one card originally thought of her sisters at home, and finally gritted her teeth and bought one.
At the end of the day, the income from selling membership cards alone reached 4,000 yuan. Song Wenyin looked at the box of money and smiled crescent-shaped. "Business is more attractive than men."
Huang Wanzhen picked out the banknotes and stacked them together with the same denomination. "Gold is the most valuable and is recognized by every country. These banknotes are not. Not only do some countries not recognize them, but they also depreciate too quickly. Tomorrow I will exchange these banknotes for gold bars or dollars. Even if it costs a little more in handling fees, I can't keep them."
Song Wenyin nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. This paper currency has been issued several times. The people in power would issue it every few years and urge the people to exchange their silver dollars for paper currency. I once knew a friend whose father wasn't very smart. He immediately exchanged the currency for paper currency as soon as the government called on him. Within two years, the currency depreciated beyond recognition, and the family went bankrupt as well. In the end, the whole family returned to their hometown in the south."
Song Wenyin picked up the only British pound and said, "You can keep this banknote. Britain is powerful, and their banknotes are valuable. I mean, that Miss Bella is really nice. Not only did she come, she also bought our membership card. We have to maintain this relationship well from now on. For festivals and birthdays, our shop should send some small gifts."
"Okay, I'll find a chance someday and find out when her birthday is. Then we can go to the French Bakery in Chongwenmen and order her a cream birthday cake." Huang Wanzhen paused, "Hey! Speaking of cakes, we have some lessons in school. Why don't we hire someone to prepare refreshments for the shop so we don't have to go out all the time to buy them."
"Sure! Aunt Song in my kitchen not only makes Chinese dim sum, but also Western dim sum. When I hire the right person, I'll have Aunt Song teach her for a while. That way, I can also eat delicious food in the shop, killing two birds with one stone."
