Chapter 349 Good Reputation
There is no doubt that the success of direct sales of tobacco and alcohol will not be limited to Zhang Shihui’s father-in-law.
In this era when information transmission is still very limited, the sales model "invented" by Ning Weimin, where acquaintances bring goods, is invincible.
Even if it is copied to the courtyard where Zhang Shihui lives and the Chongwenmen Hotel where Liu Weijing works, the same effect is remarkable.
Let’s take the large courtyard as an example. Although the population density and social scope of bungalows are not as high as those of buildings, the efficiency of tobacco and alcohol sales will definitely be greatly reduced.
But if you look at the entire alley, there are hundreds of households.
In addition, there are no secrets in the alley, and the advantage of cheap things is obvious
So wait until the neighbors spread the news and burst out. There are also many needs.
In fact, as long as Zhang Shihui lives in the same alley.
Whether it’s someone you know or don’t know, someone you’re on good terms with, someone you’re half acquainted with, or someone you just nod to and say “Have you eaten?” when you meet them every day, or even someone you know has squatted in the toilet together. friend".
They are like the residents in a building. No one will let such benefits pass them by.
In other words, he would find excuses, gain connections, and go to Zhang Shihui’s house to buy goods.
In this way, when the situation slowly ferments, the shipment volume will become very objective.
In fact, it is not much inferior to the building where the Liu family lives.
Of course, the side effect that comes with this is that it must be quite troublesome and troublesome to deal with the increasing number of people who come here piecemeal.
However, the great thing about the courtyard is that it has clear layers.
Because Zhang Shihui’s rooms are close to the courtyard.
Whoever wants to go to the Zhang family has to pass by two or three other families first.
Everyone who enters the hospital must be questioned by the Zhang family's neighbors, which is almost like having a sentry post.
And because living in a courtyard is more inconvenient than living in a building, the friendship between the neighbors who share the joys and sorrows of the bungalows in the same courtyard is somewhat closer than that of the people in the building.
In this way, the neighbors in the same hospital who had obtained the right to sell tobacco and alcohol from Zhang Shihui were naturally very willing to do the work for them, sparing Zhang Shihui frequent harassment.
Even when these neighbors sold a favor and received gratitude, they also did not forget to erect a monument to Zhang Shihui.
As a result, he also gained a good reputation that he had never imagined, and became more and more valued by the neighbors throughout the alley.
No, Zhang Shihui didn’t really do anything.
But almost every day, these neighbors live in the same courtyard as him.
They would always talk about his benefits to each other when he was away and they were free.
To be honest, it’s a bit like preaching.
Just like this day after get off work, the neighbors in the courtyard gathered together to pick and wash vegetables, and they started chatting again.
On one side is Uncle Li at the entrance of the courtyard, choosing leeks.
"...I said that his second aunt, this little Zhang in our courtyard really didn't say anything. He is called Yirenyi and opened a cigarette shop. He didn't make any money from us. His cigarettes and wine are for We guys are much cheaper than the store. Look at this humanity..."
At the other end was the second aunt of the Liu family who was using the water pipe to wash vegetables in a vegetable basin.
“No, his uncle, a ‘Yellow River’ can be 25 cents cheaper than the official price in a non-staple food store. Our family, together with our two sons, can now save 25 cents just on cigarettes every month. Yuan. I really have to thank Xiao Zhang for such a good thing. And all the colleagues in our office are also benefiting from these cheap cigarettes. How do you think Xiao Zhang is so capable? Good thing, how many people has he taken care of..."
Just as he was talking, Dezi, who worked in the towel factory, pushed his bicycle into the courtyard gate again.
This kid is almost in his twenties, and he doesn’t have a partner yet, so he lives in a small bungalow by himself.
Besides, he is an unpopular young man no matter in the workplace or in the courtyard. After hearing this, sure enough, I couldn't help but chime in.
"Hey, Second Aunt, let me ask, your boss won't sell the unit at the original price, right? Hey, are you stupid? Why don't you know how to add more money? I can follow You said that no one can live without these cigarettes and alcohol. If you add an extra cent, people will still rush to get them. How about you learn from me? I sold more than 80 of them in the past two days and earned 8 yuan. There are so many..."
Aunt Liu curled her lips after hearing this.
“Hey, Dezi, I don’t like hearing what you are saying anymore? Are you stupid? Xiao Zhang doesn’t make any money from you either. I am working with you to earn money from acquaintances. Are you so embarrassed?”
Dezi didn’t care about such a slight fight and took the words steadily.
"Look at what you said, don't compare me with Xiao Zhang'er! He's rich and rich, and he got rich a long time ago. I'm a thin horse, a long horse, but a poor man with short ambitions. Besides, I think back then, Xiao Zhang was the first I was the one who introduced him to the business. His success today is all because of my introduction. He wants to make money from me, so I’m sorry..."
Uncle Li was also a little bit uncomfortable with hearing this. .
"Dezi, look at your tone, you are not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind. You brought Xiao Zhang into the family? I knew you had led him into a ditch. I thought it was you who introduced him in the first place. Didn’t the southern fruit business pay a heavy price to Xiao Zhang? And you were the only one who ate a lot of fruit when something happened. If someone doesn’t hate you later, just think of him. . ”
These words were a bit too much for Dezi to bear.
“Oh, uncle, I have a conscience. If I could have thought that I would lose money, why would I introduce it to Xiao Zhang? This is not because of the unpredictable changes in the business world. I’m really not that kind of person. No matter how hard you try, you can’t trick your neighbors. The rabbits haven’t eaten the grass beside their nests, right?”
And he also has a knack for telling perverse truths. As soon as the conversation changed, it became a way for him to make money.
"... So having said that, now Xiao Zhang has given the money to us. What a rare and good opportunity it is. If we miss it, we will let him down. This money is not You have to think about it this way, it’s cheaper than what’s sold in the store, isn’t it?”
Uncle Li is too lazy to bother anymore, he knows that this guy is forever. All of them are reasonable, so I decided to just say a few words to explain my hatred.
“Hey, brat, just be pretentious, you always have your fallacies. They say that self-employed people are after money. I think you are the one who is after money. You can’t make a fortune like this. . You should learn how to be a good person from Xiao Zhang. You must learn how to be a good person before you can do business..."
Unexpectedly, Dezi shook his head and refused to admit it.
"Look at what you said, you really wronged me. Who can't be a good person? But face needs to be exchanged for money. Of course I know that after I make money, I should be honest with others. What comes and goes? , They will only take me to play from now on. But what does it mean if I only earn this amount? Xiao Zhang is a cigarette and alcohol seller, so I want to treat him to a small alley restaurant. Let’s give it a try, it’s too shabby...”
At this moment, two more strangers entered the courtyard. Dezi had a sharp eye and was the first to hold the car across and shouted.
"What are you doing, who are you looking for? Let's go inside after explaining clearly..."
The two of them were a little embarrassed, and the older one explained quickly.
"Huh? We live in No. 11 Courtyard at the entrance of our alley. According to people in our courtyard, there is a comrade named Zhang in our courtyard. His cigarettes and alcohol are cheaper than those sold in stores. We I just want to ask if, for the sake of our neighbors who live in the same alley, we can also sell it to us..."
"Yes. Come with me. I have Xiao Zhang's tobacco and alcohol. I promise I won't make a penny from you if I sell them to you..."
"Don't thank me, don't be so polite. No one will give in." They are neighbors. You two are not the only ones here. There are many people in our alley who have inquired. Xiao Zhang has already left a message. We should take care of each other..."
"You're welcome, we are all here. I caught the attention of Xiao Zhang, have you seen the young couple in our alley who just got married this year? Yes, there were a lot of cars coming that day, and the young couple usually wears very fashionable clothes..."
Uncle Li was afraid that Dezi would make money from others, so before the visitors could finish speaking, he picked up his own leeks and took the two visitors into his room.
Looking at Dezi, he swallowed with regret and cursed "Silly uncle" from the bottom of his heart before pushing the cart into the courtyard.
But when he saw the dishes that Aunt Liu had washed, the boy stopped again.
With a playful smile, I insist on rubbing two small cabbages and taking them back to judge in front of me.
The second aunt was too lazy to argue, wiped her hands, and gave two trees to Dezi, allowing him to take advantage of them.
Unexpectedly, this boy was not greedy enough, so he turned his nose into his face, thinking that the tree given to him had bug eyes.
The second aunt was so happy.
"You bastard, why didn't you take enough advantage? Why are you still picking for nothing? I just gave it to you because I thought it was bug-eyed..."
