This era is different from Chu Lu's era. It is very obvious that people are divided into three, six or nine grades.
Some people may even be classified into a class that is not considered human.
And this refers to the existence of rich people's concubines and slaves.
As a poor man's wife, you are still barely considered a human being. At least you have a natal family and legal provisions. They don't dare to be too unscrupulous towards you at the moment. There are rules and regulations here to restrict them, although this restriction is more Restraining the woman.
However, if they become a rich man's concubine, they really can't be regarded as a person. They can only be regarded as a toy. One day, the rich man dislikes them and wants to sell them, so he will sell them. Although he dare not be beaten to death, the punishment of injury is unavoidable.
Therefore, as long as a normal person still has some hope of survival, he would not want to be a concubine.
What's more, a girl like Chu Lu who was born under the monogamy system. Although in their time, some men still had mistresses and mistresses, but at least in their time, from a moral sense, These men and their mistresses will be despised.
When the first wife catches the cheating man and the mistresses, as long as no one is killed, they naturally stand on the moral high ground.
Although now the children born to mistresses and mistresses can also enjoy certain inheritance rights.
But that was different from here. At least the mistresses and mistresses did not enjoy status, but they also enjoyed human rights.
If the original wife really fights, they can even take her to court with a pleading.
Unlike the concubines here, no matter how beautiful or smart they are, they can only be sold as items and whipped as cattle and horses.
So Chu Lu felt that unless she was kicked in the head by a donkey, there was no way she could agree to such a request.
"Boss, you really know how to joke. You don't want to cooperate with me. You just want to eat me up and wipe me clean. You won't even spit out my bones. If I become your concubine today, then I will give you Can the things you make count as money?"
"At that time, if I ask you for wages, you must say that we are all one family. It is so harmonious. But if one day I am no longer useful and you push me outside, I will tell you that we are all one family." , you must tell me who is your family, you are just a thing I bought, I can throw it away if I want."
Chu Lu's words were really sharp, and Chu Lu could only reveal his thoughts clearly to the boss.
He was not very happy about Chu Lu's words.
But people who want to save face can never express their feelings.
"If you don't want to, you don't want to. Why would you say something so hurtful?" the owner of the grocery store said with a smile.
Chu Lu just smiled slightly and said, "I'd be really sorry if my words offended my employer. We are in business, so let's continue talking about compensation."
When the grocery store owner heard what Chu Lu said, he just nodded and said, "That's fine, girl, please continue talking."
Although Chu Lu felt sorry for the lost one hundred taels, she continued, "I think that in addition to compensating me for the fifteen taels of silver, shouldn't you also pay for my creativity? After all, this is The idea of the toothbrush is mine, I didn’t give you the authorization! And you spent a small fortune because of my idea.”
When the grocery store owner heard what Chu Lu said, he just thought it was funny. This was the first time he heard about creative licensing.
It's a pity that they never have any authorization statement here. .
Once something comes out, as long as you can do it, others can do it too.
So if you want to prevent others from taking away your creativity, you can only upgrade the difficulty of things yourself, or add a unique secret recipe. However, Chu Lu obviously has no such awareness.
First of all, the production method of this toothbrush is really simple. She did not hide the processing technology of the only bristles. When they asked the craftsman who made the toothbrush for Chu Lu, the only difficulty was revealed.
So the grocery store owner had no choice but to laugh and say, "Girl, I can accept your other compensation."
, and are willing to pay you, but it is impossible for me to pay you the licensing fee for this alone. First of all, your thing is simple and anyone can make it. Secondly, you did not come to teach us in person. The person who taught us was the craftsman. , so I really can’t give you the licensing fee. "
At this point, the grocery store owner continued, "And you are wrong to say that I spent a small fortune relying on your creativity. Think about it, did you set up a stall for a whole day yesterday?"
Chu Lu nodded.
The grocery store owner then said, "But you reduced the price to 500 cents, how many people came to buy it?"
Chu Lu didn't say anything when she heard this.
The boss also continued, "Look at how many customers I have here?"
Chu Lu became even more silent after hearing what the other party said.
"For the same product, why can I sell it for one tael of silver but have so many customers, while you can sell it for five hundred taels of gold but only have very few customers?"
Chu Lu looked at the boss, and she immediately said, "Isn't this normal? How many years has your shop been open, and my stall has only been open for a long time? You have a regular customer base, but I don't. And I sell It’s a new thing. Now people don’t accept it because it’s too new for them and they don’t think it’s necessary! But as long as someone buys my product and they find it useful, they will definitely buy it back. , as long as they can repurchase it and help me sell it to other customers, then my business will gradually improve. I just need some time to operate it slowly."
Hearing Chu Lu's words, the man could only whisper, "The cost of time is also accumulated by money, and the product we sell is also maintained by our own means. I can tell you this, today is What I sell is a piece of shit, and I have plenty of ways to turn this piece of shit into a piece of golden shit, but can you?"
"Besides, this thing of yours really doesn't have any technical content. Even if I don't sell it today, someone else will sell it sooner or later. Sooner or later, your thing will be sold on the street. So I can't give you this money."
After the words fell, the store owner just said, "Besides this money that I can't give you, there is actually a sum of money that I also have to deduct for something, that is, you rented in front of our door for a day and didn't give us a penny." , I will compensate you fifteen taels of silver now, but we must deduct your five taels of silver as the rental fee and damage expense of our store, so I can only give you ten taels of silver."
When Chu Lu heard this, she almost lost her breath and vomited blood. She felt that the boss was obviously seeking revenge for her not agreeing to be his concubine just now. That's why I deprive myself so much. Chu Lu mocked coldly, "Your land is really valuable, five taels of silver, why don't you go and grab it?"
The boss smiled and said, "How can you call it robbery? Didn't I give you the experience of setting up a stall in front of my door for a day?"
Mentioning this, Chu Lu became even more angry.
After all, if it hadn't been for their report, I wouldn't have fined him so much.
At this moment, Chu Lu felt even more unable to swallow this breath.
"Why is land so valuable? For five taels of silver, you can set up two stalls in front of someone's house."
Hearing Chu Lu's words, the boss immediately smiled and said, "I didn't say it was just rent. Aren't there also damages? You put it in front of my door and it affected my business. I usually earn one hundred taels a day, but There was only fifty taels of silver that day, and half of the loss was due to you. I only charged you such a small fine and did not let you pay me thirty-five taels of silver. This is my greatest sincerity."
After listening to the boss's shameless conversation, Chu Lu felt deeply that she had underestimated how shameless a person could be.
She didn't want to mess around with the store owner now. If she agreed to the other party's money and took back the ten taels of silver, she would still feel that she had been humiliated by the other party.
So after thinking about it, Chu Lu suddenly said to the other party, "I don't need this money! You don't need to give it to me! Is this how to play? My things are trash, right? Okay, then I'll let this money Toothbrushes have become a really bad thing on the street. I want to see how you can still do business when this thing really becomes a bad thing on the street."...
After saying this, Chu Lu stood up angrily. When the boy saw this, he originally wanted to stop Chu Lu.
However, the boss shook his head at the boy.
He just allowed Chu Lu to walk out of his grocery store in a big way. When Chu Lu came out of the grocery store, the number of people lined up at the door of the grocery store had decreased a lot, but the number of people here was still not small.
Some people who didn't know what was going on saw people queuing up, and they just followed people's shouts and lined up at the scene without knowing why.
"Everyone, come and take a look. The original price of the new toothbrush is 2 taels of silver. Now we only sell it for 1 tael of silver. Just so that everyone can have a good experience. The toothbrush is easy to use and convenient! The cleaning ability is also great."
Seeing this, Chu Lu immediately shouted, "Toothbrushes are simple and convenient to make. A toothbrush can be made of bamboo boards and pig bristles! Bamboo boards and pig bristles only cost how much, everyone." Don’t waste your money! If you want to know how to make it, I can tell you how to make it for free!”
Chu Lu had obviously made up her mind. If she couldn't sell this thing by herself, then the boss wouldn't be able to sell it either.
Almost as soon as the waiter shouted, she would follow suit.
After hearing her words, the scene was in chaos. Some people even stopped waiting in line and asked her how to make this toothbrush.
Chu Lu didn't hide it, she just told the other party her own crafting methods.
She really took it to the extreme to benefit herself and others.
With her interfering with the business, how can this front-end business continue?
Seeing her making such a fuss, the shopkeeper even wanted to arrest Chu Lu and beat her up.
However, the shopkeeper's boy told the shopkeeper to leave her alone and let her go.
Naturally, the shopkeeper was very puzzled by this. He said anxiously, "If we just let her make trouble like this, how can we continue our business?"
