I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

In a blink of an eye, it has entered the twelfth lunar month. The sky is like a large snow-making machine, and the goose-feather-like snow is still falling from the silver-gray sky.

As we enter the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets. Most people would rather stay at home than go out.

However, Qiao Linxi became the conspicuous one, going out early and coming back late every day, taking those people to negotiate for the shop.

She said that she would make it impossible for the Li family to survive in Lanqing City. This was not something that could be done just by talking, she had to take concrete actions.

So, she first went to the government office to check out all the properties of the Li family. After finding out the specific shop, she invested heavily to open an identical shop next door, selling exactly the same things.

This made the people in the caravan very puzzled. Is this the method that Qiao Linxi mentioned to squeeze out the Li family?

Qiao Linxi smiled slightly and did not explain.

This is the showdown between new stores and old stores.

Qiao Linxi planned to use a new marketing model to attract some of Li's customers first.

She launched a buy-one-get-one-free model during the opening period, which attracted some people.

The first store that Qiao Linxi opened to offer a buy-one-get-one-free promotion was a jewelry store, which shocked the ladies and young ladies there. They didn't believe that Qiao Linxi could afford it.

As a result, some people questioned whether Qiao Linxi was deceiving customers by using the gimmick of buy one get one free.

"Boss Qiao, is this really buy one get one free? Buy as many as you want and get as many as you want?"

A young lady asked Qiao Linxi while holding an expensive pearl hairpin.

"Naturally, does this girl not believe it?"

The young lady said, "Of course I don't believe it. This pearl hairpin costs three taels of silver. Can you just give it to me?"

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "Since I am under such a banner, I can afford it."

The young lady looked at Qiao Linxi's expression, then at the pearl hairpin in her hand. She really liked it.

"Okay then, I'll believe you. If you're not offering a buy one get one free offer, I'll tell everyone you're lying."

Qiao Linxi paid her the bill. "Miss, please write down your name. You spent three taels of silver this time and received a coupon worth three taels of silver. This coupon can be accumulated. You can choose to buy something worth more than three taels of silver this time. After deducting the three taels of silver, you only need to pay the remaining silver. You can also choose to accumulate it and come back to buy it in a few days."

The young lady was puzzled: "Aren't you giving me the same pearl hairpin?"

Qiao Linxi smiled and shook her head: "No. Every piece of our Qiaoji Jewelry is unique. This is to ensure that every lady buys a unique piece. In this way, there will be no question of who looks good and who doesn't."

The lady looked at the other things and found that no two were alike.

"Then...I'll use it today, okay?"

Qiao Linxi said: "Yes, Miss, you can take a look at this bracelet. The color is the same as your hairpin. It suits your skin very well."

When the lady saw the bracelet that Qiao Linxi recommended to her, she asked for six taels of silver.

"So expensive? Six taels of silver."

"My dear, how can it be expensive? No matter how expensive something is, it is not as valuable as you, my lady. You are the most precious thing in the world. And you have a coupon worth three taels of silver, which can be used to deduct three taels. You only need to pay another three taels."

Seeing that the young lady was still hesitating, Qiao Linxi continued, "I know that you like this bracelet. I just think it's expensive. But young lady, you are unique in this world and deserve better. Only if you love yourself well, others will love you more. A bracelet that costs six taels of silver can be bought for only three taels, which is very cost-effective. Li Ji next door doesn't have such a good deal."

The styles of these jewellery are similar to those of Li Ji's next door, and the prices are similar. Qiao Linxi did not lower the price, but gave customers a discount in disguise. In this way, there is no malicious price reduction to squeeze Li Ji.

If Li Ji is willing, he can do so.

In the end, Qiao Linxi still persuaded the young lady with chicken soup. She gritted her teeth and spent another three taels of silver to buy the bracelet.

Qiao Linxi still asked her to fill in her identity information, saying that she was the most distinguished customer of Qiaoji Jewelry and that she would be able to enjoy discounts when she shopped in the store in the future. Moreover, she would be able to enjoy the right to buy her favorite items at half price on her birthday.

"Miss, aren't we at a disadvantage?"

The few people who had gone to destroy the place had already followed Qiao Linxi. Seeing Qiao Linxi squandering money like this, they couldn't help but feel distressed.

There's no need to lose all your family fortune just to prove yourself, right?

Qiao Linxi just smiled and didn't explain further.

Once one person makes a sample, others will see that it is profitable and buy the things they like.

When the people from Li Ji next door saw Qiao Linxi like this, they just smiled coldly. If this buy one get one free business model continues, it won't be long before Qiao Linxi goes bankrupt. If it's just a few days, then those who are greedy for small profits will stop buying when they see that there are no more free gifts.

Qiao Linxi did this just to attract customers. She didn't offer buy one get one free, so she told customers that every purchase would earn points. When the points are accumulated for a year, they can be exchanged for items.

Points are measured in taels, one tael of silver equals one point.

This does not mean that a few points can only be used to deduct items that are several times lower than the points, but one point can be exchanged for items worth one or two taels. However, the points must be accumulated for a full year before they can be exchanged.

This invisibly tied up the customers who wanted to exchange items.

It's not just the jewelry store that has buy one get one free and points. All the stores under Qiaoji's name can do it.

It can be a grain and oil shop or a cloth shop.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the business in this store is getting more and more prosperous. It may be that Qiao Linxi has the blessing of a business system. Anyway, every store she manages is very popular.

Although Madam Li was released from the county government office, Qiao Linxi did not say how to deal with her at the time. The county magistrate just detained her for a few days for provoking disturbances and then released her.

But even though Mrs. Li was released, she was still troubled by business matters.

First, the merchants who had been cooperating with the Li family suddenly stopped cooperating. Another problem was that their goods had problems, and the other party said that their cloth was mixed with dirty and old things. Or there were stones in the rice.

In short, there were problems with the people who had been working with them. Mrs. Li asked someone to investigate, but could not find any reason.

Now Mrs. Li had no time to care about her son's affairs, so she braved the snow and went to the home of a boss who had been cooperating with their Li family in the grain and oil business.

"Mrs. Li, it's not me, Old Sun, who broke the contract. It's really that there's something wrong with your goods. Since we've been working together for so many years, I haven't discussed my losses with your Li family."
