Chapter 316 Enlightenment
As the time comes for foreigners to return to their apartments from the embassy area, more and more foreigners are passing by Xiushui East Street.
Ning Weimin’s tricycles never stopped in front of them.
Groups of foreigners of all colors stop here.
And soon, many people were carrying large and small items in their hands.
Of course, Ning Weimin became more and more busy as a result, and gradually became incapable of doing anything else.
With no choice but to sharpen his skills before the battle, he quickly taught Luo Guangliang and his brothers a few English words.
Then encourage them to use the numbers on the calculator and make gestures to deal with customers individually.
Just like that, when another half hour passed, Ning Weimin’s six tricycles were so crowded that the stalls were actually packed!
At the south entrance of Xiushui East Street, which has never been bustling, at 8:15 on this day, dozens of foreigners stopped here to choose goods in the dark.
Now it's better. Not only are all kinds of foreign words that everyone can't understand are flying all over the place.
Even the Beijing dialect that should be understood is a bit incomprehensible.
"How mucharethesethingsaltogether?"
"What to eat? What to eat? This...oh, you want it all? One hundred and eighty, one hundred and eighty!"
" Actually...I'mjustbrowsing, thanks..."
"Don't go! Hey, I don't understand... Hey, how about this?"
"How much is the discount?"
"Is it good to eat? OK, let's ask the price, right? This ...Ten thousand...it's very complicated. Don't you understand? Come on, look at the calculator...let's beat the thief to death..."
In Ning Weimin's eyes, the scene is really amazing. The sound was hoarse and the crowd was crowded.
If someone who doesn’t know passes by here, he will definitely be shocked by the scene and think that there really is a ghost market in this world.
But he must also admit that practice brings true knowledge.
Like Luo Guangliang and his brothers, they had been feeling discouraged today.
The first time I met a foreigner, I was at a loss and a little scared.
But when they accepted the money from the first foreigner, they seemed to have gotten some kind of hint and had the understanding of a businessman.
That’s right!
People cannot be timid in front of money, and there is no need to be polite, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about!
Come on, man!
As long as you can make money, that’s great!
Suddenly, their eyes seemed to become clearer and refreshed.
After that, in the exchange of colorful banknotes and in the communication of gestures, they continued to undergo qualitative changes.
Ning Weimin did not teach them step by step.
But they mastered a method of doing business with foreigners extremely quickly.
They are becoming more and more proficient in using calculators.
They gradually understood that foreigners cannot mark prices with one hand, as they cannot understand.
Even very soon, their mouths were quite good, their pronunciation was quite standard, and two English words popped out.
Although I can't spell, I can use it skillfully. This is really an amazing talent.
What does this mean?
In addition to showing that people have unlimited potential, it can also show that currency has the function of enlightening people's brains.
Never deny this.
Because this is the same even for other vendors.
Take the "Company Commander" for example. He could not remain indifferent as he watched foreigners' money flow easily into the pockets of people like Ning Weimin.
So when Ning Weimin finally found a window without guests.
The "Company Commander" took advantage of this opportunity, ran to Ning Weimin, bowed respectfully, and made a request.
The "Company Commander" said that he hoped to separate some goods from Ning Weimin's goods, and help them get them to his own stall. If they sold them, he would be given some hard work fees.
Of course Ning Weimin had no reason to refuse such a request, but was rather pleased. To be honest, he was a little impressed that the "Company Commander" could make such a mutually beneficial request.
So he took a large pack of silk scarves from a car, sixty in total, without even taking a cigarette, and gave them to the "company commander".
This thing is relatively simple, does not involve size issues, and the price is easy to calculate.
Ning Weimin then agreed on the "company commander".
The price is eight yuan a piece, and he pays eight cents for each piece.
At that time, the "Company Commander" was so happy that she was as beautiful as a dog letting loose.
The man didn't say anything, and quickly took all the goods back to his place to unpack them.
Then he put half of the military uniform away and hung all the silk scarves one by one on his iron rack.
In this way, Ning Weimin's business scope has been unexpectedly and effectively expanded.
When the "Company Commander" opened again, it successfully intercepted some foreigners and reached several deals.
Except that the middle-aged woman selling underpants still couldn't save her face.
Several other vendors took advantage of it in order to share the profits.
They all followed the same example and came to Ning Weimin one by one like a swarm of swarms.
To put it bluntly, who has a grudge against money? Yes or no?
Ning Weimin was also very happy. According to the conditions just given to the "Company Commander", he gave some different goods to each one, and everyone made a fortune together.
He even looked at the middle-aged woman's pity and took the initiative to bring some straw insects and auspicious knots for sale on her behalf.
So everyone was happy, and at this moment, everyone in Xiushui East Street had business to do.
All the stalls are also covered with Ning Weimin’s goods.
This street is named Ning!
However, at this time, Luo Guangliang couldn't help but feel a little nervous for Ning Weimin.
What he saw was the risk, so he couldn't help but stop his business to remind Ning Weimin.
“Brother, these are very expensive things, and we don’t have a penny deposit. Why did you just write down the number and give it to these people? I don’t know them, and I don’t have any close friendship. What if? What if they don't admit it, or..."
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin was not worried at all.
He was very relaxed. He just smiled and comforted Luo Guangliang.
“Third brother, the highest state of business is continuous mutual benefit, satisfying both parties. To achieve this, the first thing is to rely on the mind, and the second thing is to rely on employing people.”
"Let's put it this way, I don't actually trust their character. As you said, it's our first time making friends after all, so there is no basis for trust. However, I trust profits and the temptation of money to businessmen."
“Look at them, take a good look. These people’s eyes are bright when they help us sell goods. Their own things are not needed by foreigners, but our things provide them with a Once they have enjoyed the opportunity to make money from foreigners, they will no longer want to give it up.”
“My confidence lies in this, as long as we can give it. If they provide such cooperation opportunities for a long time, they will never betray. This is my reason. Let them help us sell goods in the future. "
"Now you understand what I mean. Right? Never trust a businessman, but you can trust money. When a businessman is eager to make continuous profits from you, you can trust him as much as you trust money."
" Hehe..."
Luo Guangliang thought silently for a moment, finally digested what he said, and patted Ning Weimin on the shoulder.
“I thought that doing business only requires knowing how to buy and sell, and calculating the money clearly is enough. Today you really opened my eyes. I didn’t expect that there are so many tricks in it. Brother, you What a genius in business! I think those three guys will cry to death when they wake up today!"
Ning Weimin shook his head modestly! .
"Is the bet just a joke? Is it also to prevent everyone from being bored? How can I really take it seriously? Doesn't that mean I'm bullying them?"
Then he handed it to Luo Guangliang. A cigarette made a "ding" sound and the lighter was lit.
It is this action that omits all words.
The two people laughed face to face, and put their heads in front of the lighter to light cigarettes.
Behind the flames was the south entrance of the market where trading was still continuing.
