Chapter 7 The Hot Scene
Faced with everyone's shock and confusion, Yu Yue took out her third plan.
"Thank you very much for your support, but our shop currently has limited staff. In order to ensure the quality of our products and services, we need some time to prepare."
She said this and glanced at the sky again.
"It's noon now, you can go back and enjoy your lunch first, and come back in the afternoon - of course, you don't have to worry about your position in the queue now, we will issue number plates to everyone, and everyone can come and buy with the number plates."
Before anyone else could react, she continued:
"We have also prepared a small gift for everyone - customers who consume here and queue up in the morning can get an extra chance to draw a blind box in the afternoon with their tickets."
The pale and frail girl had a kind and sincere smile on her face. At the same time, a black-haired boy walked out of the store with a box in his hands and began to hand out number tags as credentials one by one.
People of this era have not yet experienced all kinds of modern marketing methods. Seeing Yu Yue explaining and offering benefits, the resentment in their hearts disappeared on the spot.
That’s quite true.
People close their businesses to provide better service to themselves.
What if there’s something better in the new stock that arrives this afternoon?
Besides, one more chance to draw a blind box means you can make a lot of money.
Be sure to come in the afternoon.
Many people who were originally impatient and hesitant about whether to buy because of the long waiting time also changed their minds and decided to come.
——After all, if they don’t come, they will lose out.
Soon, people dispersed in groups of three or five, talking.
Many people also agreed to come together in the afternoon.
Taizo finally came to his senses and started looking for his niece.
He felt a little guilty for a moment - because while he was queuing and buying the blind box, he didn't think about his niece at all.
Fortunately, my niece didn't care.
Otherwise, if he goes back and sue me, I will be in big trouble.
The uncle and nephew set out on their way home.
But then again, my niece seems very quiet this time?
Tai Zang looked down and saw his naughty niece, who could not keep still for a moment, fiddling with something with two small sticks.
"Red Bean, what is this?"
Hearing her uncle's question, the girl raised her head and said with an expression that said, "You don't even know this, you are so out of date."
"This is treacle, treacle."
"Treacle?"
"Yes, it's super sweet and fun to play with."
As the girl spoke, she used two small sticks to fiddle with the syrup, twisting it like a twist. After a long period of stirring, the syrup, which had turned into a beautiful white color, immediately took on a smooth appearance like silk threads.
“It’s very beautiful.”
"Yes, this is the latest fashion - never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you, uncle."
——This stinky girl!
Taizo was furious, but at the same time he also remembered this thing called "Tangxi".
How interesting.
When I go there in the afternoon, I might as well buy one for myself.
After seeing off the guests, Yu Yue let out a long sigh and slumped in the chair.
It's so tiring.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shisui brought over the tea.
"You guys have worked hard too."
Ugetsu rubbed his face.
I felt my face was stiff after laughing all morning.
But no matter what, I am very happy to have such a good start.
"What's wrong?" Ugetsu turned around and asked when he noticed Itachi's gaze towards him while drinking water.
“…”
The young boy opened his mouth. After hesitating for a while, he asked:
"Isn't it good to run business like this? Why stop it?"
Wouldn't it be better to do it all at once?
"No, no, no. Doing it all at once will only quickly exhaust people's enthusiasm. Only by stopping at the right time like this can we maintain the freshness and purchasing desire for a longer time." Since Ugetsu treats Itachi as an employee, he will not ignore .
People will never cherish things that are easily obtained. The more they want something and the less they can get it, the more they will scratch their heads and think about it day and night.
This is what the so-called "hunger marketing" is all about.
"Aren't you afraid they won't come?"
Itachi, who was born into a ninja family and grew up with a ninja (mission) mindset, was puzzled.
——For ninjas, the client is theirs, and unless the task is extremely troublesome, they will never refuse the commission.
That would mean losing the customer and the business.
.
Itachi blinked his big eyes, but there was still confusion on his little face.
"…You gave me the number plate, right?"
The one who answered was Uchiha Shisui.
Although the question was asked to Uchiha Itachi, he had also been thinking about it.
From blind boxes to these 'number plates' he helped make yesterday.
But at that time he just followed and wrote the numbers, and didn't know where these "number plates" would be used.
This is also the norm for ninjas.
'Get the job done, don't ask why'.
One of the main reasons people like to hire ninjas is that they won't ask questions unless they go beyond the scope of the original assignment.
"So Miss Ugetsu had planned this long ago?"
Uchiha Shisui said thoughtfully.
"Of course." Yu Yue said, pounding her shoulders. She was already tired after entertaining guests for a whole morning. "It's not okay to think about anything else and just want to do business with a rush of energy."
This doesn’t mean you can never succeed.
But such successful people are rare.
Being your own boss is not as simple as the photos and success stories in micro-O and XiaoO books.
Market research, user portraits, business models, costs...these are just some of the preparations before opening a store.
Even if you have done all of these, there are still a lot of things waiting for you, such as the actual situation of the city, funding, and promotion.
Even if we can really handle all of these, emergencies and accidents are always inevitable.
If any one of them can't cope, they may not even make it through the first quarter. It's like the shops in the pedestrian street commercial center that keep .
In her previous life, Yu Yue had seen too many employees who had been deceived by someone and resigned to start their own businesses on a whim.
There are young and middle-aged people.
When they leave their jobs, they are full of energy and feel that they are the next Bill Gates, believing that a bright future is waiting for them.
——And most of them have never been heard from since.
Those who can be successful may even gain fame and spread back to their original employer.
There may not be one in a year.
Many of them will even let them see it later on headhunters or recruitment websites . However, most of them will not be given a second chance at this time.
Of course, they generally care about their reputation and will not invest in their old employer or other companies in the same industry.
manage.
"I see."
A hint of respect emerged in Shisui's eyes.
He was actually still confused and couldn't tell what was going on.
But he also understood that those guests who had come could no longer escape Miss Yu Yue's control.
——At least for the chance to draw a blind box for free, they will come again.
"Now that we understand, let's continue."
Yu Yue sat up straight, looking over his 'only' two men.
"Shisui, go and make the syrup again - use a bigger pot this time and make more. Don't worry about leftovers - we can give away any leftovers or make sugar-coated melons after they cool down."
"OK."
"Itachi, please take the trouble to count the inventory of blind boxes. If the quantity is insufficient, pack more. Let's still follow the previous principles."
"The ones in the 50-yuan range are packed with some fashionable little junk... small accessories." That was a close call, I almost said the word 'junk'.
Yu Yue secretly patted her chest - she usually called those small key chains and ornaments that were often seen in gashapon machines or claw machines "fashion garbage".
Although it looks interesting, it has no practical use. I can't even give it to someone else. I don't use it most of the time.
"clear."
The little boy responded immediately.
"We have another tough battle to fight this afternoon, so everyone should work hard during the lunch break. So, adjourn the meeting!"
The two Uchiha moved quickly to leave and finish their work.
Ugetsu breathed a sigh of satisfaction, picked up the cup that Shisui had just brought over and took a sip of tea.
“…Pah, so bitter.”
Why is this tea so bitter?
Just as Yu Yue said, business in the afternoon is much busier than in the morning.
The children who get the syrup - even those who don't like sweet things - will be attracted by the gameplay and want to get it.
There was little entertainment during the war, and the children had the same toys over and over again, and they had long since gotten bored of them.
The "sugar syrup" that appeared at this time captured the hearts of children almost as soon as it appeared.
There is no need for Yu Yue to promote it anymore, as many children have spontaneously become "babysitters".
As long as you bring people to buy that blind box, you can get syrup, which is so profitable!
Not only the children who came in the morning
It came so quickly that even children from other streets came specially to buy it after hearing about it.
Yu Yue thought about it carefully and realized that this was not surprising.
After all, even Uchiha Shisui, the actual creator, couldn't help but stir it with a small stick for a while. This was a serious ninja on a mission.
What about the children?
Of course, Shisui's way of playing is different from the way in Ugetsu's memory of repeatedly stirring and stretching until it changes color. As a ninja who can create afterimages even when making hand seals, his way of playing is more complicated.
Even syrup can be used to make shapes. Looking at the various shapes that Uchiha Shisui "wove" with syrup, Yu Yue was amazed.
Itachi was not able to avoid it either, but fortunately he had very strong self-control and only played for a few seconds before putting it down and continuing to work.
Noticing the gazes that Shisui and Ugetsu were looking at him, the little boy couldn't help but blush, and then opened his mouth to try to explain:
"The stretched syrup looks like the soft steel wire used by ninjas. I think I can use this to practice."
The boy's face became redder and his voice became smaller as he spoke.
Yu Yue gave a loving smile to their behavior of playing with the syrup to create shapes.
I like it. Even the children of ninjas can hardly escape temptation. Are you afraid that the syrup can't be sold?
This is the best product feedback!
In the afternoon, the previously deserted store was once again filled with long queues.
In addition to the adults who were brought by the "childcare", there were also many relatives and friends who came on their own accord after the guests had a great time in the morning.
People are very curious about this "blind box" product that has never appeared before.
The atmosphere group also arrived and started to cheer and join in again.
“Blind boxes are great!”
"Hey, did someone win the 1,000-tael pot this morning?"
"Yes! I was there!" The person who said this immediately puffed out his chest with pride.
"What? It's not you who got hit."
"I witnessed it with my own eyes. It's no different than if I had been hit!"
Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, people passing by also became interested: "Um, what are these blind boxes you are talking about?"
How come he hasn't heard of it?
“It’s a blind box, don’t you know?” The people who were originally talking immediately stopped bragging to their companions - what’s the point of bragging to those who already know?
Of course we have to catch new people!
As he spoke, he immediately grabbed the passerby who asked the question with an excited look on his face.
"Come on, come on, brother, listen to me!"
Yu Yue's business became an instant success.
But at the same time, a new problem that she had not thought of before appeared in front of her. !
