Chapter 272 He is the cannon fodder control group (28)
Although it is hibernation, it is of course impossible to do nothing and not go out all day.
What’s more, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Therefore, during this period of time, there are more people in the town and the county.
Si Cen and Jin Ge'er made an appointment to go to the county town together. They took a batch of toothbrushes that Gu Yao had made during his free time during this period, as well as the toothpaste that Si Cen and Jin Ge'er had tinkered with, and went to the town to set up a stall to test the waters.
The business was not as booming as Jin Ge'er had imagined, it could even be said to be quite quiet.
He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but Si Cen was not discouraged. He rolled his eyes and let Jin Ge'er look after the stall alone, saying that he had something to do.
He came back after a long time and brought two hot meat buns for Jin Ge'er as lunch.
Brother Jin felt embarrassed after eating and insisted on giving him money.
Seeing that he was really persistent, Si Cen accepted it. The two of them ate the buns together. Jin Ge'er couldn't help but ask him what he was doing.
Si Cen kept the suspense and said he would know in the afternoon.
Brother Jin was getting even more anxious because of him, but he had no way of saying what he didn't want to say, so he could only wait patiently. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, several waves of customers came to their stall and bought a lot of their toothbrushes and toothpaste.
There was even a young lady who was obviously from a wealthy family. She asked her maid to buy some. "My lady heard that you guys are selling toothbrushes and toothpastes. After using them, you can have fresh breath all day long, right?"
Brother Jin glanced at Brother Man next to him and was really wondering what he had done. He had heard similar words many times in a short period of time, and everyone who came to buy said so.
"Yes, yes, Miss, please look, this is the toothbrush and toothpaste we sell."
The maid lowered her head and picked it up to look at it, with a hint of disdain on her face, "This is wrapped too casually."
"Casual" is a polite adjective. This is not casual at all. In her opinion, this is shabby.
Just as Jin was about to say something apologetic, Man next to him suddenly said, "This is a regular model, aimed at the general public. It's affordable, and has a relatively simple effect. We sell it cheaply, so we don't make much profit, so naturally we can only save a little on costs."
The maid listened to the young man uttering some words and vocabulary that she half understood. She was confused and felt that he was so powerful that she couldn't describe what was so powerful about him. If she had been exposed to the Internet in later generations, she would naturally know that this feeling can be described in one word: "unclear but powerful".
"Oh? From what you said, there are other...items?"
"Of course, there are ordinary ones and advanced ones. Although they are more expensive, they are not the same level as ordinary ones in terms of efficacy and packaging. They can not only clean teeth, but also whiten teeth, reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, and remove dental plaque. Different styles have different efficacy."
The maid was stunned when she heard this. She turned around and saw the young lady who was eavesdropping not far away winking at her.
She got it.
"Price is not an issue. Bring me one of each of those whitening products you mentioned." The maid generously took out her purse.
Brother Jin was a little panicked.
However, Man Ge'er said calmly, "I'm sorry, young lady. It's not that I don't sell it, but the raw materials for our advanced models are rare, and it's also very difficult to make. They are also very popular among the masters, ladies and young ladies in the city. They have been in short supply for a long time. Therefore, our shop has an unwritten rule that there are threshold restrictions for purchasing advanced models. Not only do you have to become a member of the shop, but you also have to make an appointment in advance."
Not to mention the maid and the young lady who was secretly listening, even Brother Jin was stunned.
No... Although some of the raw materials do contain some relatively expensive medicinal herbs, can't they be bought at any pharmacy?
They made a lot of it at home.
And what is in short supply? How come he doesn't know?
He didn't bring any toothpastes with different functions this time, because if the price was too low he would lose money, and if the price was too high he was afraid they wouldn't be able to sell. Before he and Man Ge'er came, they said they would sell the ordinary ones first, increase the popularity of the toothpaste, and then slowly expand their business.
Also, what are the threshold restrictions, membership, advance reservation?
I've never heard of such a thing!
What are these?
Sure enough, the little maid was also confused after hearing this.
The eavesdropping lady couldn't bear to watch it any longer. The more she listened, the more anxious she became. This thing was so easy to sell and sounded so amazing, she had to have it!
She didn't care about the saying that ladies from wealthy families should not show their faces in public. She rushed over and pushed her maid aside. She lifted the white veil hanging from her hat that was covering her face and said to Si Cen, "Just tell me how much silver it will take to become a member of this thing you mentioned, and how do I make the reservation?"
Si Cen smiled calmly, "Members are naturally divided into different levels, but I don't know if Miss..."
"Of course I want to be the highest level."
So Jin Ge'er watched in a daze as the young lady, under Man Ge'er's deception, filled in the membership information, paid a membership fee of one hundred taels and became the highest-level supreme member.
Then she was given a set of toothpaste and toothbrush as a new member benefit. She should use it first and wait until the advanced version is available and she will be given priority in the order.
They even said that if I could recommend a new member, not only could her order be moved up the queue, but I could even get a discount on the advanced version.
Although the young lady took out a large sum of money, she left happily with a smile on her face. Before leaving, she vowed that she had many good friends who could introduce them to her, and asked them when they would come again next time.
Brother Jin felt like he was dreaming.
Just like that, I earned, a hundred taels?!
"Brother Man, you are so amazing, how did you do it? Tell me quickly, I am so curious that I am dying!"
This kind of sales trick can be seen everywhere in later generations. Si Cen just used other people's wisdom and didn't think it was a big deal, but for people of this era, it is still too advanced.
"It's nothing special. At the beginning, I just paid some kids to spread the word that there is a toothbrush and toothpaste on the market now. It is much better than willow branches and tooth powder. After using it, your mouth will feel refreshed and your breath will smell like orchids, etc.
As the word spread, naturally some people became curious, some believed it, and came to buy it.
As for the one hundred taels... I didn't mean to do that lady's hunger marketing on purpose. Didn't we forget to bring those brands of toothpaste?
And I did think about changing to a better packaging at the beginning, so I just said that, intending to delay the process, but who knew that this lady would be so generous and pay a huge amount of money to a small stall without any doubt. "
This was indeed something Si Cen had not expected. It seemed that rich ladies these days were easier to cheat than he thought!
Jin Ge'er was left with nothing but admiration on his face.
"Come on, come on, since we've had a great start, let's just close the stall and ask around for places that sell porcelain. I'll order some nice packaging so we can get our advanced models out soon!"
The two of them quickly closed their stall without any reluctance and went to inquire about the shop selling porcelain.
