Hello 1983

Just as I was about to ask, I heard a few quick knocks on the door, and then a salesperson opened the door:

"Manager, there are a few foreigners outside, clamoring that our store sells fake products, hurry up and have a look!"

Chapter 756 A Bright Pearl

Inside Shanhaizhai, there were three foreigners, shouting something angrily.

Among them, one is a middle-aged man, and the other two are younger, a man and a woman, who seem to be a couple of lovers.

Next to him was a translator in a suit, who pointed out:

"You dare to deceive foreign friends, quickly call your boss!"

There were dozens of customers in the store, and they all gathered around, talking a lot.

Some say that foreigners are too arrogant, and of course there are also those who suspect that the store is selling fake goods to deceive people, making a lot of noise and making a mess.

The store manager of Shanhaizhai is Feng Jing, who is trying to explain:

"Gentlemen, every item we sell in Shanhaizhai is guaranteed by its reputation. If you buy a fake, you will pay ten. May I ask what is wrong with the items you bought?"

Ten compensation per fake is the rule set by Liu Qingshan when it opened.

Especially in the jewelry industry, ordinary people don't know how to do it, so it is not uncommon to deceive consumers.

But Liu Qingshan knew the importance of reputation, so he had this rule.

"If a fake one pays ten, then you will pay for it. Foreign guests have purchased more than 2 foreign exchange certificates, and you have to compensate 20!"

The translator's voice was so loud that he almost poked Feng Jing's face with his fingers.

The melon-eating crowd watching the excitement also exclaimed. These days, foreign exchange certificates are very expensive, and it is amazing to have a few hundred yuan.

Tens of thousands of yuan is tens of thousands of yuan. For ordinary people, that is simply fatal.

"You bastard!" He suddenly stretched out a big hand, lifted the translator into the air, and kicked his legs helplessly.

But Li Tie couldn't be more arrogant, and stepped forward to do it.

This guy even gave those foreigners a look: "What are you looking at, if you dare to make trouble in our place, you can still beat them up. The bastards I beat up are enough for a platoon!"

The three foreigners were bluffed back again and again by him, this strong man looked too scary.

Xiao Cui'er hurried up and grabbed her husband's arm: "Tie Niu, let go, you are not the solution to this matter."

That's good for Li Tieniu, he listens to his wife, because that's what the dumb grandpa told him.

So he put the translator in his hand on the ground: "It's cheap for you today."

The translator was almost scared to pee, but he continued to bluff: "Is this how your store treats customers?"

Feng Jing was still neither humble nor overbearing: "If it is a problem in our store, we will definitely compensate. Could you please tell us about the situation first?"

The translator sneered a few times: "What else is there to say, we have already asked experts to identify it just now, and yours is not Hetian jade at all, of course it is a fake!"

At this time, Hai Mingzhu separated from the crowd and walked in. She ignored the translator and greeted the three foreigners directly in proficient English:

"Gentlemen and ladies, hello, I am the manager of this jewelry store, if you have any questions, I will answer them for you."

Hai Mingzhu is on Hong Kong Island, and has already mastered English, especially spoken language, and there is no problem in communicating.

"Beautiful lady, hello, my name is John, and we are from Great Britain." The middle-aged foreigner also shook hands with Hai Mingzhu politely.

The current Hai Mingzhu has an elegant temperament and an even more outstanding appearance, which one dare not underestimate.

Even on Hong Kong Island, Mr. Zheng from Zhou's Jewelry fell in love with her, but Hai Mingzhu didn't look down on that kind of kid.

So, foreigners actually watch people order dishes.

Hai Mingzhu knew very well that this matter had a lot to do with the reputation of Shanhaizhai. If it was not handled well, the news of Shanhaizhai selling fake products would spread, and the business would plummet.

However, she also has confidence in the goods in the store, so she smiled slightly: "Mr. John, let's go over there and sit down and talk slowly."

Hai Mingzhu stretched out her hand, and there was a small table and a few chairs in the corner of the jewelry store for customers to rest.

Liu Qingshan stood on the periphery of the crowd, he was not in a hurry to stand out, because he knew the situation in the store.

Moreover, Hai Mingzhu handles the matter very decently, so he is not needed, and it is better to be a bystander.

Because Liu Qingshan noticed that the interpreter's eyes flickered a little, and he might be harboring some ghosts.

Hai Mingzhu led the three foreign guests, sat down in front of the table, and asked the salesperson to make a few cups of tea.

The other customers in the store naturally couldn't watch it anymore, but no one left. They all pretended to choose jewelry there, hoping to wait for the outcome of the matter.

It would be boring to watch half of the excitement.

And there are some people who have a little bit of thought: a fake one will pay ten, if it is paid to foreigners, can we also pay?

After taking a sip of tea, John said: "We came to your ancient country to travel, and we are very envious of the long-standing Chinese culture. We heard that jade is the representative of China, so we bought a few pieces here."

The young couple put several boxes on the table, which contained jade carvings and pendants.

"However, Zhang told us that there were counterfeit jades and took us to have them identified, which turned out to be not real jades."

John pointed to the translator behind him, probably his surname was Zhang.

Hai Mingzhu looked up at the translator, but saw that the guy's eyes were a little dodgy, so she took a look at the jade in the box, and soon saw the clue:

"Mr. John, there are many kinds of jade. In our country, the most valuable is Hetian jade, and the price is also the highest."

Hai Mingzhu took out the certificate from the bottom of the box: "Please look, Mr. John, the origin of the jade you bought is not Hetian, but the area around Lake Baikal. It has been marked on the certificate."

"That's why the price is so cheap. If it is Hetian jade, the price will be at least ten times higher."

After explaining clearly, Hai Mingzhu said apologetically: "Of course, it's because we have no experience in the store, so we didn't mark it in English. Please forgive me."

"Is that so?" That Mr. John, still a little suspicious, looked towards the interpreter beside him.

Translator Zhang bit the bullet and replied: "Mr. John, when they sold it, they didn't explain the origin and materials."

Hai Mingzhu smiled slightly, stood up, and led everyone to the jade counter:

"Everyone, please take a look, this counter is Hetian jade, you can check the price on it."

She picked up a Jade Buddha, pointed to the label and said, "This is carved with top-grade Hetian jade, and one piece is worth 1 yuan."

Then he pointed to another counter in the distance, separated by the jade jewelry area: "We also marked it over there, and the sale is Russian jade."

The store manager, Feng Jing, also brought over a Jade Buddha of about the same size with a wink.

Hai Mingzhu pointed to the price on the label and said, "This Russian jade is much cheaper, and the price is only 500 yuan."

Putting the two Jade Buddhas together, laymen can't tell the difference at all, and on the surface, the Russian Jade Buddha is even fairer.

After comparing the two prices, John also understood a little bit.

And the foreign woman also opened her mouth and said, "We did buy it there. Zhang also said at the time that the price there is cheap."

John couldn't help being a little annoyed. After being surrounded by people for a long time, he also felt a little embarrassed because he didn't understand the situation on his own side.

So John looked sharply at Zhang Translator: "Zhang, why didn't you speak clearly at that time?"

"Mr. John, I don't know much about jade, and I'm afraid you're wasting your money." Translator Zhang looked innocent.

John could only wave his hands, then stood up and bowed to Hai Mingzhu: "Please accept my apology."

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the smile on Hai Mingzhu's face became brighter. She bowed slightly:

"Mr. John, the gentlemanly demeanor you have shown is also very admirable."

In a word, John immediately praised him with a smile:

"Beautiful lady, I have decided that I want to bring back a batch of real Huaxia jade. Yes, it is called Hetian jade, because it is just like this ancient country, gentle and elegant, and makes people feel happy."

Even Liu Qingshan nodded slightly: Not bad, this foreigner has already understood some jade culture.

Hai Mingzhu also shook hands with John again: "In order to express our respect to our friends and guests, we will also give you a discount in our store. This is a testimony of our friendship."

Everyone was happy for a while, and even the guests who watched the excitement were in a happy mood.

After all, Chinese people at this time have a strong sense of national pride, and they don't want their country to lose face in front of foreigners.

And their trust in Shanhaizhai has also returned to the same level and even became firmer.

John and his party picked another piece of jade and two pendants, this time of course they were all Hetian jade, and then they left satisfied.

Liu Qingshan nodded towards an unremarkable young man in the crowd, and the young man followed him out.

And Liu Qingshan is completely relieved now, Shanhaizhai is handed over to Hai Mingzhu, and he probably won't have to worry about it in the future.

Considering Hai Mingzhu's demeanor just now and her calm handling of things, Liu Qingshan is looking forward to her future development, and I am afraid that she will really become the brightest pearl in the jewelry industry.

The store has returned to normal, and customers are more enthusiastic about buying.

At this time, there was a clatter outside the door, and a group of people rushed in. The leader was Hou San, and behind them were employees brought over from Heihe by Longteng Company, all of whom were veterans.

A murderous aura quietly diffused in Shan Hai Zhai.

When Hou San saw Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he waved his hands behind: "It's okay, we all go back to work."

With a swish, the veterans quickly evacuated, and they left cleanly in the blink of an eye.

Hou San knew that with Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu here, the matter would definitely be settled.

He also just got the news that someone was making trouble in Shanhaizhai, so he led the people to come here.

"Boss, when will you be back?"

Hou San leaned in front of Liu Qingshan, and nodded to Li Tieniu and Xiao Cui.

"Brother Hou, you've worked hard this time."

There were a lot of customers in the jewelry store, so Liu Qingshan greeted Hai Mingzhu and left Shanhaizhai.

Hou Sanze smiled brightly: "Boss, I think this shopping mall is similar to our border trade, but it's different. Buying and selling goods, everyone is still doing their old job, and it's very smooth."

A large shopping mall also involves many departments, from the most basic shopping guides, cashiers to security, cleaning, etc., and also requires a large number of logistics personnel.

Hou San brought these more than 200 people and scattered them in the big shopping mall, which was not enough at all, because there was a large supermarket in the basement of the shopping mall.

"Go ahead and have a look." Of course Liu Qingshan doesn't doubt Hou San's ability, the Longteng shopping mall in the capital is a test point.

If it is successful, Liu Qingshan is going to open chain stores in several big cities, and completely establish the name of Longteng Shopping Center.

The most important thing at the moment is logistics, because this industry has not yet been regulated.

Under the guidance of Hou San, several people walked towards the gate of the shopping mall. There was a large revolving door in the middle, and there were spare fire doors on both sides, which would not be opened normally.

"How do you get in through this door?" Xiaocui was a little dazed when she saw this kind of three-wing revolving door for the first time.

It was Li Tieniu who had seen it on Hong Kong Island. He pulled Xiao Cui in, pushed her lightly, and then walked forward slowly.

When he got to the mall, Li Tieniu stepped out, but Xiaocui took a step too late and didn't come out, but turned around inside again, and then happily jumped to Li Tieniu's side:

"Quite fun."

At present, this kind of door is rarely used in China. It is estimated that those children who enter the store will play around a few times.

Liu Qingshan also moved into the shopping mall. The renovations here have been completed. Many people are carrying the shelves and pushing the goods, and they have started to put them on the shelves one after another.

In the middle of the front is the elevator, there are two passages up and down, and the bottom is leading to the underground supermarket.

Several security personnel are hanging various signs.

Looking around, the inside of the shopping mall feels spacious and grand, with a dazzling array of beautiful things in sight, but it still looks a little messy now. After the goods are put on the shelves, it should be very neat.

The first floor is mainly clothing and hats, and the more Xiao Cui'er looked at it, the more she wondered: "Why is there no counter, hasn't it been displayed yet?"

Hou San explained to her: "This is the first large-scale self-selection shopping mall in the capital. Customers can look at it and choose it at will."

In [-], Yangcheng became the first self-selection shopping mall, but it was a friendship store.

In [-], the first supermarket was established on the Hujiang side. Of course, the name was still called Self-selection Shopping Mall.

However, this self-selected shopping mall is mainly aimed at foreigners living in Hujiang, so foreign exchange certificates are required to purchase goods, which limits the entry of ordinary citizens.

The word self-selected shopping mall made Xiaocui a little confused: "Is this different from a state-owned store?"

It's right to be different, Liu Qingshan knows, it's the cold counter that immediately isolates customers.

The salesperson shook his face, made small talk and so on, and the customer had to keep smiling.

The customer is not God, the customer is the grandson.

"At that time, what if someone steals away the goods?" Xiaocui was a little worried.
