Chapter 243: A fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman and shoots him in the back
The people who heard about it hurried to the 'You are the richest' bank. They met familiar businessmen on the way, and everyone said hello with a clear face.
"Boss Yuan is here too."
"Shopkeeper Zhao is also here for the credit card machine."
"Ah, isn't this Zhou Dong's house? What a coincidence, I also want to get two credit card machines for the store..."
Suddenly, within a day of posting the notice, all 100 places were taken up.
However, the action was slow, and people who queued up until the next day and had no gifts to receive felt regretful, but they were even more determined to get a card machine.
There are so many people using credit card machines. If you don’t do it yourself, how can you do better business with others?
A one-thousandth handling fee is charged for purchases over two hundred taels. No matter how you calculate it, it is better than receiving a fake bank note that cannot be redeemed.
What's more, the merchants who can operate credit card machines have a lot of wealth and have been strictly screened.
People who do business have quick minds, and many people immediately thought that Baijiabao's move could indirectly help them select suitable partners.
Therefore, many people regard merchants that can operate credit card machines as the first suitable partners.
So how do you let people know that you are qualified? It's very simple. String the string through the card swiping machine and hang it around your neck. Otherwise, hang it around your waist.
The golden card swiping machine is so eye-catching no matter what color of clothes you are wearing. It emits a golden-purple light under the sun, making it easy to see at a glance.
As a result, people who can hang credit card machines around their necks have a different status in everyone's hearts.
When almost everyone saw it, they immediately concluded in their hearts that this was a rich man.
The special status of the credit card machine at this time is just like that in modern times, when the popularity of mobile phones is booming, people in the streets and alleys either hang them around their necks or buckle them around their waists. It is better to show off than to show off.
With the mall there, Baitao quickly placed an order for some suitable Wuyi commodities, including lanyards, pendants of various colors, and even card machine covers.
She focuses on one thing and arranges whatever the market needs.
Who would have thought that a credit card machine that is obviously not a mobile phone would become a mobile phone and come with a bunch of peripheral products.
There is no need to open a separate shop. Just set up a space in a corner of the bank business hall and put two or three cabinets to sell the peripherals of these credit card machines.
Everyone who comes to use the credit card machine will visit, so business is extremely good.
Boss Lan rushed from the Jiangren tribe to Junji Town the next day. He rushed slowly and took several days on the road.
Originally, he carried the card swipe machine in his pocket, feeling that it was too conspicuous, fearing that it would attract others to covet him. However, within less than two cups of tea after getting off the carriage, he saw five or six people with the card swipe machine hanging around their necks.
He casually entered a restaurant on the roadside to rest. Not to mention the owner of the restaurant, among the people dining in the lobby, there were three or five people with credit card machines hanging around their necks.
Boss Lan thought for a while and decided to inquire: "Shopkeeper, what is hanging around your neck..."
The restaurant owner smiled and said: "Oh, this, this is a credit card machine. It is a unique device of our Junji Town. It can be used with bank cards..."
As soon as they heard that the topic of the credit card machine was being discussed, other people in the lobby also picked up the conversation.
"This card swiping machine is so convenient to use. You don't have to waste time counting copper coins when making transactions, and you don't have to repeatedly check the authenticity of banknotes. You only need to enter the numbers..."
"That's right, I used to have people come to the store to buy things, and it was fine if they used silver coins. If these were made of copper plates, I would have to count them for a while."
Even though it was a thousand cents per string, no one was sure that someone would be ill-intentioned and miss three or five cents.
Not to mention that a bunch of copper coins is not light. If it lasts for ten and a half months, you have to take it to the shop to exchange it for real silver, and then exchange it for a silver note. This coming and going takes most of a day, which is really troublesome.
Of course, no one would have found it troublesome before not having a bank card, but it is easy to be frugal and luxurious, but it is difficult to be frugal.
Once you experience the convenient method, the previous method seems backward and cumbersome.
"The key is that the income and expenditure accounts are clear. At the end of the month, I go to the business hall to make an order and come back to reconcile the accounts. It is clear at a glance how much income there is every month."
“When I work with people now, the first thing I do is check if they have a credit card machine.”
"Yes, yes, there is a card swiping machine, which makes transactions convenient. Ding is Dingmao, so you don't have to worry about what the other party will do."
The money has been received, and even if there are any disputes, it will be documented and there will be room for negotiation, which will protect both buyers and sellers.
Boss Lan smiled and nodded while listening, and he was thankful in his heart that he met Boss Tao in the Jiangren tribe.
Fortunately, I was able to listen to the advice, otherwise, if I wanted to apply for a credit card machine, I would have to find someone to recommend me.
However, in just a few days, people who want to apply for the use of credit card machines will have a lot more trouble than at the beginning. In addition to some supporting documents, they also need to have recommenders.
The referrer must be a person with a credit card machine, but it cannot be introduced randomly. If the recommended person is unqualified, the referrer will also be recorded, which will have an impact on the credit report.
Even things like credit reporting were moved to ancient times. Anyone who traveled from modern times would be stunned by this series of actions.
Just as Boss Lan was taking a break to drink tea, he discovered that even people who spent less than two taels of silver did not pay with money, but took out their bank cards.
"Shopkeeper, check out."
The restaurant owner hurriedly went to collect the payment, with a warm smile on his face: "Excuse me, I spent one tael of silver and three hundred and fifty-six cents."
"How would you like to pay?"
The diner handed over his bank card and said leisurely: "Swipe the card."
"Have a look~"
When Boss Lan saw this, he was surprised and glad that he did not refuse Tao Jiaren's suggestion.
At this time, Boss Lan didn't know that something that made him even more fortunate was yet to come.
After drinking tea and inquiring about some news, Boss Lan checked out and left, finding a familiar inn to stay at.
He planned to go to Qianzi Cloth Store owned by Baijiabao early tomorrow morning to see if he could buy some goods.
Because Junji Town has changed a lot recently, Boss Lan also wanted to know more other news about Junji Town, so he did not eat in the room, but in the inn lobby.
Because of this, he was targeted.
We were all away from home, and we all stayed in the same inn. I heard that the other party was making a living in some small tribes and small farms near the Jiang tribe.
After chatting for a while, we discovered that the parents of both parties actually lived in the same town when they were young, just across the street from each other. This made Boss Lan, who often visited the Jiang tribe, feel like he had met a fellow villager.
If Baitao were here at this time, he would definitely complain: When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, he will be shot in the back.
Boss Lan, who didn't know it was a trick, felt more cordial and less defensive about the other party, so he talked to the other party, talking to each other, and the more they chatted, the happier they became.
Please give me a vote, little cuties, if you have a vote, please vote for me to make the list.
See you tomorrow~~~
