The foreigner looked at the wooden fat doll in his hand and then at the boss, looking a little embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to choose four more from the handicraft varieties.
"Allright, tellme, howmuch?" Although the foreign friends felt embarrassed, they decided to buy these five handicrafts according to the boss's request.
The boss was grinning now. If he hadn't been in front of the gringo, he would have almost stopped laughing. But after thinking about it, I didn't know how to express twenty-five dollars.
"Well, look at my fingers, one five, and then you have to give me five five dollars." The boss pointed to his palm with one index finger, and then pointed to the palm with five fingers.
Foreign friends are shocked. What do you mean? Isn't it enough to buy five of them? Do I have to buy ten of them? !
The foreigners shook their heads like a rattle, put down the handicrafts in their hands, and wanted to leave. The boss got anxious and grabbed the gringo's arm.
"Oh, why did you just leave? The price is easily negotiable."
The foreign friend was grabbed by the arm and suddenly felt like he was insulted. He shook his hand away and cursed loudly: "Get off my back, man!"
No matter how hard it is, the boss understands the attitude of this foreigner. Then he also said angrily: "If you don't want to buy it, you won't buy it!"
"Hey, friend, there's understanding between you!" When the foreigner was about to leave, Huang Shaowen called out to stop the foreigner.
The foreigner heard someone speaking English and said there was a misunderstanding between himself and his boss, so he looked at Huang Shaowen in search of the voice.
The boss was a little cute when he saw someone talking to this gringo. He looked at the woman next to Huang Shaowen, who was probably with Huang Shaowen, and asked Qin Hongyu, "What did he say to the foreigner?"
Qin Hongyu smiled and said: "Boss, there is a bit of misunderstanding between you and this foreign friend. My friend is helping you clarify it."
After listening to Huang Shaowen¡¯s explanation, the foreigner realized that he had made a mistake, and laughed loudly and said: ¡°Ithoughttihadtobuyfiveatatime.thankyouforyourexplanation.¡±
Huang Shaowen smiled and said: "You're welcome." Seeing that the foreigner didn't understand, Huang Shaowen responded, "imean, don'tmentionit."
Through Huang Shaowen¡¯s explanation, the boss and the foreign friend finally solved the misunderstanding between the two parties. Having avoided an international dispute, Huang Shaowen believes that his merits are still complete.
After the gringo settled the money, the boss looked at Huang Shaowen and said, "Brother, are you a college student? Thank you very much just now. If you choose one, take it as my thank you gift!"
Huang Shaowen smiled and said, "Boss, since you said so, I won't be polite."
The boss waved his hand grandly and said: "You're welcome or not, just spit and nail, choose whatever you want, no charge!"
Huang Shaowen looked at Qin Hongyu, "Which one do you like?"
Qin Hongyu whispered: "This is not good, it is not easy for people to do business."
¡°As a result, the boss in front of me heard what I said, and the boss smiled and said: ¡°Girl, it¡¯s not easy. The cost of these things is not high. They are all sold to gringos. You can choose whatever you want. I won¡¯t lose anything. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
Huang Shaowen also smiled and said: "It's okay, just choose one."
Qin Hongyu hesitated, pointed to a wooden bead chain and said, "Let's take this."
Huang Shaowen looked at this bead necklace, and it didn't look like it was worn by a girl. But what he just said was that Qin Hongyu chose it himself, so he couldn't say anything.
Leaving the stall where they were just now, the two of them continued shopping. Qin Hongyu complained: "I still think I should give money. It's not even a favor to others."
Huang Shaowen hugged Qin Hongyu and said, "Oh, don't worry. The boss won't suffer any loss even if he gives us three or five more items."
Seeing Qin Hongyu¡¯s confusion, Huang Shaowen held Qin Hongyu¡¯s wrist that was already wearing a bead chain and said, ¡°The cost is a few cents at most. How much does it cost for five dollars?¡±
The RMB in 1983 was not as cheap as it was in the early 21st century, but it was certainly not comparable to the US dollar. At this time, 100 million U.S. dollars can basically be exchanged for about three to four yuan in RMB.
So the boss just used something that cost a few cents and sold it for a sky-high price of more than ten yuan! It can almost be said that it is a business without capital.
Qin Hongyu was surprised and said: "Ah! Isn't this a lie?"
Huang Shaowen smiled and said: "You can't say that. The cost of the thing itself may not be much, but what foreigners buy is not wood. They are not interested in this handicraft. So this cannot be called cheating, this should be said to be a product. ?The added value of ??. "
What is the added value of the product?
When producing products, usually the value of the product itself is not very high, but in the production process, on the one hand, new techniques and techniques are used to give the product new value, on the other hand, effective marketing methods can also be used to give the product new value. the value of.
And these values ??are usually able to meet the higher-level needs of customers. In order to obtain this higher-level demand, customers are willing to pay more than the value of the product itself.
So this can only be said to be a matter of fighting or suffering, but cannot be said to be a lie.
Qin Hongyu doesn¡¯t seem to understand, but she just feels that the value of an item is whatever it is. Because people like it, resources pay more for it, so increasing the value of the item itself is a bit like exploitation, isn¡¯t it?
Oh, just because the customer is "willing to suffer", can he be "beaten" severely?
Huang Shaowen looked at Qin Hongyu, who was still a little angry, and said comfortingly: "The carpenter must have put a lot of effort into doing this. Isn't it worth the money after spending time and effort? What about those from the government? Cadres don¡¯t need to get as much salary as they do now.¡±
It is also a matter of thought, moving your mind, and occasionally moving your mind. Why do craftsmen have less salary than intellectuals?
"Okay, you have a point. But I'm still unhappy, huh."
Huang Shaowen suddenly felt that Qin Hongyu was cute when she was angry, so let's continue to be "cute".
Qin Hongyu originally wanted Huang Shaowen to continue coaxing her, thinking that when Huang Shaowen explained to herself just now, Qin Hongyu found that Huang Shaowen knew a lot, and the way he explained things to herself was very handsome.
"However, I didn't expect that my plan failed. After "hum", Huang Shaowen actually ignored me.
There are quite a lot of people in Xiushui Street, most of them are foreigners. Qin Hongyu had also been here with Huang Shaowen before, so she was basically familiar with it.
Huang Shaowen walked in front, looking at this shop and that shop from time to time. Basically, as long as they sell clothing, there are very few who are not under Huang Shaowen.
However, the owners of these shops did not know Huang Shaowen, so when greeting Huang Shaowen, they only thought that Huang Shaowen was one of the few wealthy people who could buy things on Xiushui Street.
¡°Brother, look at this, tailor-made clothes, now famous brands! Rich people all over the world wear this, brother, you look handsome, and you will definitely look even more handsome when you wear it!¡±
The "custom-made clothing" the boss mentioned was exactly the name of Zhou Jianxiong's clothing factory. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
