Cultural Palace near the supply house, two salesmen with the usual, sitting in the counter high melon seeds chat.
In these years, the salesman of the supply house is the meat and potatoes in the eyes of many people, with high wages, good benefits, and fewer things to do.
Therefore, the salesmen of the supply and marketing center were all above board, and when they saw Shen Qing and the others walk in, they didn't even stand up to welcome the customers, and still sat there to get high on melon seeds.
"Buy wine." Shen Qing knocked on the counter.
"What are you knocking for, the loose white is over there, from one dollar two to two dollars five, with bottles or not? Spit~~" a salesman spat out the melon rind in his mouth and said in a bad mood.1
A couple of half-grown boys, still learning to drink like adults?
They can only afford to buy loose white wine, and they definitely can't afford to buy a dollar and a half bottle of beer.
"Where is the bottled liquor?" Shen Qing asked.1
Only then did the salesman look at Shen Qing squarely, the eyes, as if he really wanted to buy bottled wine.
"The bottled ones are over here, our local Beidahuang in Bingcheng, from three to five and a half dollars, the neighboring province's Jade Spring, five dollars a bottle, as well as Xifeng, Apricot Flower Village, Wuliangye, Moutai, but these are all famous wines and are more expensive."
The expensive wines were all for gifts, where people would spare the money to drink it themselves.
Shen Qing frowned slightly, "There's no strong wine?" 1
The salesman froze for a moment, "What kind of wine? Strong wine? Strong what?"
"Strong wine is a kind of tonic wine, flat bottles, a lot of people in the neighboring province of Chun City are drinking, can prolong life, replenish blood and moisten the lungs, nourish yin and strengthen the yang, there are ginseng, antler velvet, ganoderma lucidum and other kinds of valuable herbs, I heard that it is a formula that was passed down from the palace."
"I see that all the supply houses in Spring City have it, how come the supply houses in Bingcheng don't have it?"
"I just got into college, and I want to buy a few more bottles for my teacher."
"The same supply and marketing center, how come the gap is so big?"
Saleswoman: "..."
She wanted to refute Shen Qing, but didn't know how.
Another sales clerk next to her who was much older stood up, "You said strong wine ah, how can we not have it in our supply house, only it's sold out, in a few days it will be available, you wait a few days to come back to buy it." 1
Shen Qing's eyes lit up, "That's fine, I'll come back in a few days to buy it. I told you that Ice City's supply and marketing center, how could it not compare to Spring City's supply and marketing center."
Shen Qing led Zhao Dongzhi and the others out, and the two sales clerks immediately came together.
"Sister Sun, where have we sold any strong wine?"
Sister Sun sat back on her stool, "Are you stupid, just tell the manager and let the manager stock it?"
Do you really let those kids think that the supply and distribution center in Bingcheng is not as well-stocked as the one in Spring City?
"Just one person wants to buy, the manager can tell the top to buy goods?"
"It's not like we're going to lose out if we tell them, and if it sells well, we might be able to give out a bottle of it as a benefit during the holidays."
Outside the supply and marketing center, Shen Qing looked at Zhao Dongzhi and the others, "The words I just said, do you all remember?"
Zhao Dongzhi and the others all nodded, but still looked confused.
Didn't they just go in to buy wine and then didn't get it? Didn't the salesman say that it would be available in a few days?
Shen Qing looked at them, "I'll tell you the truth, there's no Strong Wine for sale on the market right now, because Strong Wine is the tonic medicinal wine that my family's winery is about to launch."
"So the supply house hasn't sold it at all, that salesman is lying."
"Do you know why I'm going to buy it when it's obvious that it's not there?"
Zhao Dongzhi reacted, "Brother Shen Qing is trying to get the supply house to stock our strong wine?"
Shen Qing looked at Zhao Dongzhi approvingly, "That's right. We just want the other party to take the initiative to buy our strong wine."
Zhao Dongzhi said cautiously, "Brother Shen Qing, but we only went there once, the supply and marketing center may not stock it, right?"
Maybe this matter, those two salesmen wouldn't even tell the leader.
"Not bad, you're quite smart. We only went there once, of course the other side may not necessarily stock it, but what if a lot of people go to the supply house and want to buy Strong Wine?"
"So your next task is to each go along the streets and buy Strong Wine from those supply houses, state-run malls that sell alcohol, kiosks, and even restaurants."
"Let the other side know that the strong wine contains ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, and many other valuable herbs, and that the supply houses, kiosks, and the like in Spring City sell it, and sell it very well."
"Five streets each, at least twenty stores to run, exchange the next day, go to the store where the other has been and ask again, six of you, that's the task for the next six days."
"On the seventh day, we'll still meet here at the Palace of Culture, and I'll see how well you've done, and if there's no problem, you'll be allowed to work as salesmen for the distillery."
"Here, two dollars each, and buy an ice-cream for lunch every day."
Now was the time to throw the hook down, and I believed that soon those fish would take the bait.
If they didn't take the bait, he would just throw another handful of bait down to guarantee success.
Zhao Dongzhi was still too embarrassed to reach out, but the other students took the money first.
"Thank you Brother Shen Qing, don't worry, we've all remembered, we'll definitely do a good job. Guarantee that in a week, let the city's state-run shopping malls, supply houses and kiosks all want to buy our strong wine."
"That's fine, I'll play the salesman now, you all come once, I'll see if I've learned it or not."
Ten minutes later, Shen Qing patted Zhao Dongzhi's shoulder, "Not bad, you all memorized those words just now. The six of you do a good job, you can earn at least a hundred dollars a month, and then not only can you eat ice-cream and roller-skate by yourselves, you can also invite your female classmates to play with you."
"Being able to earn money not only reduces the burden on the family, but also makes the family feel that you guys have grown up. What's more, you don't have to let your parents retire early to make way for you to take over, and you don't have to listen to the reprimands of those master teachers in the factory, covered in grease every day in the sweltering heat of the plant."
"Recorder, motorcycle, you can all afford it in the future as well."
Shen Qing skillfully drew a bigger pie again and saw a few boys scamper away.
These words might not be of much use to those middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, but they were too effective for these sixteen or seventeen half-grown boys.
What once could only be envied but not obtained, will soon be obtained by their own hands to earn money, this sense of anticipation makes them energized.
"Six men work for me for six days for twelve dollars, and they still look grateful." 2
Equivalent to hiring six people to work for six days with forty cream ice creams, capitalists would have to drool with envy when they heard about it.2
Not to say that Shen Qing was too dark, Zhao Dongzhi and the others didn't do it, there were half-big boys who were willing to do it.
"A week later, the family's strong wine should also be filled, just in time to start selling."
"Dad won't be able to think of it by then, I've already taken care of the sales for him."
Walking over to his Big Two Eight, Shen Qing was opening the lock when he saw a familiar red dress walking out of the audio-visual club.
His hand that was unlocking the door stopped instantly, put the key into his pocket, and walked towards the other party.
"Ma Xiaoyue, why did you come to play by yourself?"
"Eh, why are you hiding when you see me? It's not like I'm going to eat you."
