Chapter 28: Advanced Marketing Strategies
These days, tobacco and spirits are necessary daily consumables for a western man.

However, due to the high price of alcohol, in many cases, men who are running around for their lives every day cannot enjoy the happiness brought by alcohol wantonly.

And the news of "free drinks for half an hour" is like a timely downpour in a dry field, which is really irresistible.

After a while, almost all the men in the town gathered in Valentine's two taverns!

When they actually took the free drink from the bartender, there was only one thought left in their minds:
drink!
Drink to death!
Even if Jesus comes today, I can’t stop it, as I said!
The bartender kept picking up the wine bottle and pouring wine into the small wine glasses on the bar counter.

As for the guests in the tavern, they drank one cup after another without stopping.

"Hiss, this wine is really exciting!"

"Paul, keep serving the wine, don't stop!"

"I'll have a drink here..."

"I also want…"

In order to avoid getting drunk and making trouble, Luo Xia called two police officers early on and went to two pubs to maintain order.

Then, he also called Archie Downs, who was resting at home, to settle the accounts.

Standing by the guardrail on the second floor of the tavern, Rorschach looked down at the drunkards crowded in the lobby on the first floor, and couldn't help smiling.

Drink it!

Drink to your heart's content!
This is my gift to you...

. . .

Half an hour of free time is fleeting.

Since each person is limited to one glass at a time, and the bartenders take turns to pour the wine, each guest drinks less than half a bottle of wine on average.

Not a big deal for a western macho who drinks more than a bottle of whiskey on average.

Even so, the two taverns combined consumed nearly a hundred bottles of moonshine.

And these [-] bottles of free bootleg wine not only did not satisfy them, but instead aroused the wine bug in their stomachs!
However, just when they wanted to continue to be crazy, bad news came:
"What?! It's time for free drinks?!"

"Damn it, I'm having a good time..."

"Wait a minute, such a strong wine is only seven cents a glass?!"

"Shut up, take my money, and give me half a bottle!"

"No, I want a bottle!"

"Two bottles!"

Looking at the drunkards with unsatisfactory faces, crowded in front of the bar, taking out banknotes to buy wine without hesitation, the corners of Luo Xia, who was leaning against the guardrail on the second floor, slowly raised his mouth.

This is what I want!

Free strategic marketing is a marketing strategy commonly used by modern businesses, and there is nothing unusual about it.

It is to use free products to promote, attract customers, and turn these customers into potential paying customers.

But in 1899, such a marketing strategy could be called advanced!
In fact, Rorschach has read a business research report, which makes sense.

According to the report, in the shopping process, what people often need is not "cheapness", but "feeling cheap".

And free stuff, everyone likes it.

Rorschach is sure that as long as they drink free moonshine, and know that this wine is cheaper than other wines, and they are more exciting, Valentine's alcoholics will not hesitate to become paying customers, obediently Pay for wine and drink!
As it turns out, he was right.

Seeing such a lively scene in the tavern, Penelope, who was standing beside Rorschach, also forgot to shake the fan in her hand, and asked involuntarily:
"how did you do it?!"

Second Young Master Braithwaite, who was standing on the other side of Rorschach, also slightly opened his eyes full of surprise, impatiently wanting to know the answer:

"Yes, they didn't leave after drinking the free wine, but continued to spend money to drink? Why?"

Facing the doubts of the two, Luo Xia didn't intend to explain so much to them, but just opened his arms and said meaningfully:

"It's simple, they love your wine!"

In fact, Rorschach was inspired by Mrs. Catherine before thinking of this marketing strategy.

In the game plot, under the entrustment of the Gray family, the Van der Lin gang destroyed a brewery of the Braithwaite family and stole a batch of bootleg wine.

When Hosea and Arthur planned to sell this batch of moonshine wine back to the Braithwaite family, Lady Catherine made a decision, which was to let Hosea and Arthur bring the batch of wine to the Gray family in Rhodes Town. In the tavern, give it to the guests for free!
Although the arrival of the Lemoyne predators later confirmed that this was just Lady Catherine's trick to kill people with a knife.

However, this trick is very effective to promote their own private wine...

Looking at this man who was much younger than himself, but seemed to be in control of everything, John Braithwaite felt more and more admiration in his heart.

Originally, when he learned that Luo Xia planned to drink for free for half an hour, he thought that Luo Xia's brain was broken.

But now it seems that he has already grasped the minds of the guests to death!
As a large livestock trading town in New Hanover, Valentine has a lot of traffic and a great demand for spirits.

It's not that the Braithwaites haven't thought about expanding their moonshine business to Valentine.

However, the last time they came here, when they wanted to sell to taverns, they were sternly rejected by the owners of the two taverns.

If they hadn't run fast enough, their moonshine might have been confiscated.

But this time, Luo Xia just said a few words, and let the two taverns open their doors.

What's even more outrageous is that even the local law enforcement officers who were supposed to crack down on illegal activities came to the tavern to help maintain order.

Can you believe this? !
Until this time, John Braithwaite finally had a full understanding of Rorschach's influence in Valentine.

This bounty hunter is not easy...

. . .

Just as John silently made up his mind to tell his mother everything he saw, Rorschach lost interest in continuing to watch the performances of alcoholics.

He stretched himself, took out his pocket watch to check the time, and said:
"Okay, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."

After taking John and Penelope to Downs Ranch and tasting Mrs. Downs's craft, Rorschach accompanied them back to Valentine's hotel.

"Take a good rest, you have to hurry tomorrow."

"I will."

When John nodded, he kept his head down, Penelope, who seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly raised his head:
"Cousin, I haven't been to Valentine for a long time, and the changes here are quite big. I plan to stay here for two days, go shopping and relax. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, John frowned first, just about to refuse.

However, he suddenly remembered the harmonious scene of Rorschach and Penelope chatting on the road, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

The two seem to have a good chat.

If Luo Xia married his cousin and became a family, it would be of great help to the prosperity and development of the entire family!
If his mother was here, she would definitely appreciate his idea.

Thinking of this, John smiled suddenly, revealing the two rows of teeth that had turned yellow from smoking:

"of course can!"
