Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao thought for a while and said: "Okay, Madam Fang, I will make a deal with you. Today I will help you sell five pieces of cloth and five pieces of ready-made clothes. If you can't sell it, I will keep it. If you sell it, I will keep it." How about a commission of 20% of the selling price?"

Everyone at the counter was shocked. Is Mrs. Xia so confident?

Who gave her the courage?

Li Yue'e quickly pulled Xia Chuntao aside and whispered: "Chuntao, you are crazy! At the best time, I can only sell two pieces of cloth. How dare you agree to sell so much to others now? If you can't sell it, Then you have to spend at least twenty taels of silver to wrap it up, what do you think?"

Mother Shuan Zi also looked at Xia Chuntao worriedly, that was more than twenty taels! Ordinary farmers like them may not even earn ten taels for a year after working so hard!

"Sister-in-law Yue'e, mother Shuanzi, you have to believe in the ability of the talented lady. Since I dare to make this guarantee, I naturally know it well."

Li Yue'e wanted to ask, what ability does the talented lady have?

But think about it, since Xia Chuntao said this, it can be seen that she has a plan in mind. They were reminded of what they should be reminded of, and other things were not something they could worry about.

"Chuntao, just make sure you know it yourself. We can't help you here. Shuanzi Niang and I have to go to the West Market. Is there anything we need to bring for you?"

Xia Chuntao is now preoccupied with selling goods and has no time to think about anything else.

"Sister-in-law Yue'e, you go ahead. When you return, please ask Uncle Zheng to come to the county town to pick me up. I'll pay the fare alone."

In Cloth Shop, although Mrs. Fang felt that Xia Chuntao was overestimating her abilities, the business in the store had plummeted and it was a good thing to have someone selling goods for her. If it can really be sold, these commissions should also be paid. So, I readily agreed.

Xia Chuntao asked the clerk to quickly find someone to write on a few pieces of big red paper. On the red paper were written the words "guess the box and win the cloth".

Then he put the red paper in a prominent position at the entrance, and selected several fabrics with different styles, colors, and textures from the store, as well as several good-looking ready-made clothes to place at the entrance of the store. Make sure everyone walking across the street can see clearly.

Xia Chuntao handed the other two big red papers to the two waiters.

"You two hold up big red paper and go to the streets and alleys, shouting at the top of your lungs, saying that it is the birthday of our cloth shop boss and that the cloth shop is holding an event today. If you win the guessing game, you can take away the cloth for free; if you lose, you will buy it at the price. No matter you win or lose, as long as you participate For the guessing game, you can get strings or handkerchiefs. In addition, you must tell the guests that the activity is only for today."

Winning cloth by guessing? Then if all the guests win, they still have to die!

Madam Fang was anxious, "Madam Xia, you can't do this! How are you selling it? It's obviously just free of charge!"

"Ms. Fang, I said I will sell it, and the guessing game is just a gimmick to sell fabrics. Don't worry, I will never let you lose money."

When Xia Chuntao said this, her expression was very calm.

Madam Fang was doubtful, but didn't say much. Since I agreed to help sell it, I simply let it go. Anyway, if you can't sell it, Madam Xia said she would wrap it up.

Madam Fang looked at several pieces of ready-made clothes hanging outside and asked, "Then these ready-made clothes also use guessing?"

"Ready-made clothes are not suitable. They are expensive and not suitable for this method."

"That--"

"We sell ready-made clothes through gambling."

“What is gambling?”

"Betting, let's hope for a good fortune!"

"Ms. Fang, when guests come to our place, most of them will come for guessing games. Whether they lose or win, you should try your best to recommend our gambling activity to them."

"For example, if this piece of ready-made clothing sells for 2 taels, we will organize a 'Twenty Wenbo 2 taels' event."

"Twenty Wenbo and twenty taels?"

"That is to say, if a customer pays 20 cents, he or she may get clothes worth 2 taels."

"How is this possible!" Madam Fang really didn't understand Xia Chuntao's brain circuit.

"It's very possible! We need two hundred people to participate in this event. Each participant must pay twenty coins. Among the two hundred people, one person must be able to win this ready-made garment."

Madam Fang understood. This was actually for sale, but under another name.

"But only one of the two hundred people won the ready-made clothes. The other one hundred and ninety-nine people paid twenty coins in vain. Who would want it?"

"That's why I ordered two hundred people. Madam Fang, do you think that for two hundred people, each person is worth twenty cents, which is four taels of silver. The ready-made clothes cost twenty taels, so the remaining two taels can be bought for them. For the money of cloth, if each person gives them ten cents of cloth, will these participating people be more accepting in their hearts?"

"When the time comes, you can take out the unsalable cloth in the store and give them as much as possible for the price of ten cents. They will definitely not be dissatisfied."

Gambling is also a way of gambling, and there is no such thing as gambling without paying a price. However, as Mrs. Fang said, those who did not win the ready-made clothes paid twenty coins in vain, which might cause dissatisfaction, so Xia Chuntao made such a decision.

In this way, neither the winner, the loser, nor the merchant suffers!

Madam Fang opened her mouth slightly and stared at Xia Chuntao with wide eyes.

Is there such an operation in the world?

How did Madam Xia come up with this?

"Ms. Fang, what else don't you understand?"

Madam Fang came back to her senses, and the way she looked at Xia Chuntao changed significantly this time. She felt that Madam Xia could do it!

It took less than half an hour to get everything ready.

After a while, the first batch of customers came to the store.

Why a batch?

The gimmick of "guessing guessing and winning cloth" is really too bluffing!

As long as the guests walk by, there is no one who is not curious. After all, as I grow up, I have never heard that if you win the guessing game, you can get the cloth for free. So, everyone rushed to "Jinlan Buzhuang".

"Come, come, come, don't miss it if you pass by! Jinlan Fabric Village's only 'guessing and winning fabrics' event. If you don't participate, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Xia Chuntao shouted with a loud voice. She almost sent Madam Fang away with her shout!

"Jinlan Cloth Shop" is considered to be a middle-to-upper-class cloth shop in Xiyang County. Most of the guests Mrs. Fang entertained were ladies from wealthy families in the county, and none of them were soft-spoken. Even ordinary people, when entering the cloth village, try their best to put away their vulgar side, so as not to make people laugh.

Xia Chuntao yelled out, and Madam Fang immediately thought of the sesame seed sellers on the street. The sesame seed sellers didn't work as hard as she did. Did she take some Dali Pills?

All in all, it feels...so embarrassing!

"Is it true that you can win by guessing the cloth? How exactly do you guess?" someone from the crowd asked.
