Next, Zhao Lin looked at Gu Zhao.
"The fourth improvement is that two tea rooms have been opened in the middle hall, which are more quiet and elegant. One is used to receive distinguished guests, and the other is for monks to taste our county's spiritual tea and spiritual honey for free."
"Gu is a master of tea ceremony, and he can introduce the beauty of it to them. I believe that with Gu's eloquence, he will definitely make the guests pay obediently."
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Gudzhao couldn't help but smile.
"Item 5: Place a small container at the junction of the front hall and the middle hall to sell discounted goods. It's called...daily specials!"
"Put all the out-of-season, defective, or hard-to-sell goods in rotation and discount them from 30 to 10% off to attract cheap monks to buy them."
"When they develop a habit, they will come and take a look when they have nothing to do. Even if they don't buy anything, it can increase the popularity of the store."
"Article 6: The counter cannot be left empty. Put some small items that are cheap and have high profits, such as bigu pills, Yangyuan pills, and warning signs. Customers can buy one or two when they pay the bill."
After everyone listened, they were speechless for a long time. They didn't expect that Zhao Lin would not take action, but when he did, he would do it with a bold and precise sword technique, and he could control people's hearts with every move.
Of course they don't know that these are all made by Zhao Lin based on the supermarket's business methods in his previous life, and based on visits to stores these days, and improvements based on local conditions.
After a while, Gude Zhao regained his composure and praised: "Shopkeeper Zhao's actions are unexpected and extraordinary. Based on my experience, these improvements are all good for the store, which is really admirable!"
"It's too ancient."
Zhao Lin said modestly, opened the book and took a look. He remembered that there was one more thing that he had not mentioned, so he said to Mr. Accountant: "Wan Lao, Wan Lao..."
Wan Jingsheng was old and frail, and his energy could not be sustained. He thought he had nothing to do, so he secretly dozed off. Hearing this, he sat up in excitement and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, please give me your instructions."
Of course Zhao Lin knew that he was dozing off, so he didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Wan Lao, please make some purchasing papers."
Wan Jingsheng asked curiously: "What is a purchase coupon?"
Zhao Lin explained seriously: "The purchase coupon is just a paper coupon. The date is recorded on it and the store's seal is stamped on it. It doesn't need to be complicated, as long as it cannot be forged by others."
"It is written on the paper coupon: if you spend one hundred spirit coins, you can get ten spirit coins; if you spend two hundred spirit coins, you can get twenty spirit coins, etc. How to write it specifically? We will discuss it after the meeting."
Gu An thought he understood what he understood and rushed to say, "Shopkeeper Zhao, the purchasing coupon is a discounted ticket, right?"
Zhao Lin nodded lightly, then shook his head, "It's somewhat similar, but not exactly the same."
"If you want to get purchasing coupons, you must purchase a certain amount of goods to get them. Moreover, purchasing coupons can be classified and have time limits. They will automatically expire after three months."
Gu An wondered: "How to classify? Why do we need to set a deadline?"
Zhao Lin patiently answered: "Purchase coupons are divided into general categories, elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. The advantage is that it is convenient to control the sales of goods."
"For example, at the end of the year, if there is a backlog of magic weapons in the warehouse that cannot be sold, we will issue more purchase coupons for magic weapons. If there are a lot of elixirs left, we will issue purchase coupons for elixirs."
"As for setting a time limit, because otherwise, the monks will not be in a hurry to come to the store to buy things. On the contrary, if you want to get the discount, you must come back within three months!"
He paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I'll give him another purchase coupon then. If the cycle goes back and forth, won't there be more repeat customers?"
"Purchasing coupons have many advantages. As long as they are used properly, we can sell whatever we want."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.
Gu An scratched his hair and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao is really clever in his methods, even though he doesn't quite understand them."
Just don’t understand.
Zhao Lin thought about his shopping experiences on June 18th and Double Eleven, and thought that there were many ways to do it.
Gude Zhao suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Shopkeeper Zhao said before that we would get a discounted container. If customers use purchase coupons to buy things in the discounted container, wouldn't we lose money?"
Zhao Lin said calmly: "This will test our pricing strategy. As long as we leave enough profit before discounting, we will not lose money even if we discount twice."
"And in order to make up for the amount on the coupons, customers will definitely buy unplanned goods, and we can still make another profit."
"In a word, if you're not afraid of him using the coupon, you're just afraid that he won't come!"
Gudzhao extended his thumbs up and praised: "This purchase coupon is really amazing!"
There was no complacency on Zhao Lin's face, and he waved his hand and said: "These measures should increase the store's income, but it's hard to say how much. What other good ideas does Guo have?"
Gude Zhao was completely convinced and did not dare to answer easily. He thought hard for a while and said, "The problem with our store is that we don't have any particularly good products."
"Silk robes, Songyu Peak tea, and Hidden Sword Hanyu are only famous in a few surrounding counties. Few people here have heard of them, and they are not necessary for practice."
"The rest of the products can be bought elsewhere. If you want to sell them, you can only attract customers at low prices."
Zhao Lin nodded while listening, knowing that this was indeed the case.
There is no concept of supermarkets in this world. Monks usually go to specialized stores to buy whatever they want. For example, if they want to buy spiritual pets, they go to the Royal Beast Studio, if they want to buy talismans, they go to the Xifu Hall, and so on.
It sells everything and is considered a grocery store. There are several similar shops in the city, but the business is not very good.
Gu An interjected: "Monks often come into the store and ask us what we sell. I sell everything. Guess what? They turn around and leave."
Zhao Lin thought for a long time and said: "At present, it seems that only spiritual tea is the most suitable as the main product. Please mention it when receiving guests. Let's rely on word of mouth first."
Gudzhao perked up and said, "Okay, I will prepare the tea room in the next two days!"
…
A dilapidated spirit boat slowly descended and stopped at the dock of Dongfu Haifang, and two monks who were dusty with travels stepped out.
The monk on the left is short and fat, with dark skin. He is wearing a satin robe. He is in his forties, has a round forehead, small eyes and slender eyes, and a happy face.
The other person was a little older, with a fair face, some sagging flesh on his cheeks, and slightly curly hair.
"This city is not small!"
The older monks looked at the tall walls and the constant flow of people coming in and out, and let out a sigh of admiration.
The black dwarf monk looked proud, "Brother Yu, is this your first time coming to Dongfu Haifang?"
The monk named Yu nodded, "If Brother Guo hadn't introduced it, I wouldn't have known that a new market has been opened here."
The black dwarf monk smiled and said: "Fangshi has been open for less than half a year. Except for the monks from the three southeastern states, not many people know about it. However, it is developing rapidly and its popularity is getting more and more popular. I believe it won't be long before this place will be famous throughout the sect." .”
The monk surnamed Yu also said with a smile: "In that case, I should have a good experience as a brother."
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon walked into the market. When they passed the notice board, they saw several monks gathering below and talking loudly.
"It's obvious that one sign can be written, but it has to be divided into six parts. Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper's brain?"
"I'm afraid I'll spend too much money."
"Jindantang, haha, what a shameless statement!"
The two looked up and saw six wooden signs connected together on the right side of the notice board.
"Jindan Hall, the road to achieve Jindan."
“If you’re looking for great deals, go to Jindan Hall on Ding’an Street.”
"To buy elixirs, go to Jindan Hall on Ding'an Street."
"To buy spiritual tea, go to Jindan Hall on Ding'an Street..."
The black dwarf monk and the monk surnamed Yu looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: "What kind of method is this?"
At this moment, an old man in a wide robe and long sleeves came over. Hearing everyone's discussion, he smiled and said, "I've been to this shop before, and the business is very good!"
Several monks turned their heads together, and someone asked: "Do you really mean what you said, fellow Taoist?"
The old man muttered: "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, look, I still have a purchase coupon from the store."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and waved it in front of everyone.
Everyone looked closely and saw two big red letters in the middle of the note: TWENTY.
It says next to it: For a discount of two hundred spirit coins or more, it can be used by everyone in Jindan Hall.
Validity period: From the tenth day of May to the ninth day of August in Yi Si year
There is also a line of small words at the bottom: The final right of interpretation belongs to Jindan Tang.
"Is this a purchase ticket?"
"Can you be a spirit coin user?"
"real or fake?"
It was the first time for everyone to see this novel gadget, and they all asked questions.
The old man smiled slightly and said in the tone of an experienced person: "Purchasing coupons are equivalent to banknotes. For example, if you buy something over two hundred spirit coins, you can get a twenty-yuan deduction. It only costs one hundred and eighty spirit coins." ”
The black dwarf monk couldn't help but interjected: "How can I get the purchase coupon?"
The old man carefully put away the purchase coupon, "I bought two talismans in the store, and the store gave me one as a gift."
"Free?"
"Yes, free of charge."
"Then the two talismans you bought must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, it adds up to one hundred and fifty spirit coins."
When several monks heard this, they were a little moved. After some discussion, they decided to go to the store to have a look. They thanked the old man and left quickly.
The monk surnamed Yu tugged on the black dwarf monk's clothes and said, "Everything is fine, let's go take a look too? No shopping."
The black dwarf monk also had this intention and said without thinking: "Okay!"
When the two came to Ding'an Street, they saw a busy shop from a distance, with monks constantly coming in and out. When they got closer, they saw that the words "Jindan Hall" were indeed written on the plaque.
"Linglong Pavilion is the first in refining weapons and has unparalleled magic weapons!"
"Xi Fu Tang, a thousand-year-old brand, please come in!"
The guys on the left and right sides greeted him earnestly.
The two ignored it and walked directly into the Jindan Hall.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good!"
As soon as the two entered the door, they smelled a sweet fragrance.
Following the smell, I saw a square table with a height of half a person. On the table was a large shallow wooden bucket filled with yellow rice.
I don't know what spices were added to the lingmi, and the smell is extremely attractive.
A monk dressed as a clerk stood beside the barrel, holding a rice spoon in his hand.
There are more than a dozen small stools beside the table, and seven or eight monks are sitting on the stools. Everyone is holding a bowl of spiritual rice in their hands and eating with gusto.
"one more bowl."
One of the monks stood up and handed the bowl to the boy.
"Okay!"
The waiter took the empty bowl and filled it with a full bowl of rice.
The black dwarf monk swallowed his saliva and couldn't move any further. He stepped forward and asked, "How much does a bowl of spiritual rice cost?"
The waiter replied: "Five spirit coins."
It’s not expensive…
The black dwarf monk thought to himself that although he had fried spiritual rice with him, it was dry, hard and difficult to swallow. It was completely incomparable to the steaming spiritual rice.
If you go to a restaurant to have a meal, it will cost you at least dozens of spiritual coins.
Yu Xing saw his companion's heartbeat and said with a smile: "We are tired from the journey, let's have a bowl too."
The black dwarf monk nodded, "Just follow my brother's words!"
The waiter served each of them a bowl of spiritual rice and thoughtfully gave them a bamboo tube filled with water.
The black dwarf monk picked up the bowl and couldn't wait to take a bite. He felt that his mouth was full of fragrance, and it couldn't be called fragrant.
Out of curiosity, he asked: "Man, what was added to Lingmi? It smells so good!"
The waiter smiled and said: "A little bit of Ling castor oil, a specialty of Hanchi County, is also sold in our store. If you are interested, you can pay more attention or ask the waiter in the lobby."
"knew."
The black dwarf monk responded casually, then ate the spiritual rice. Because he ate too quickly, he choked a little, so he quickly picked up the bamboo tube and took a few sips.
After drinking it, I realized that the water in the bamboo tube was not white water. There was a fragrant tea aroma and traces of spiritual energy.
The black dwarf monk said in surprise: "What kind of spiritual tea is this? It tastes good."
The waiter replied: "This is the spiritual tea produced in Songyu Peak, Hanchi County. It is the signature of our Jindan Hall."
The black dwarf monk said "Oh", looked around, and found a mortal waiter standing not far away, holding a plate in his hand.
There are many bamboo skewers on the plate, with a small piece of dried meat stuck on each bamboo skewer.
The black dwarf monk was moved in his heart. He waved to the mortal waiter and asked, "What's on the plate?"
The mortal clerk replied: "Hidden Sword Hanyu is produced in Qingyi Lake in Hanchi County. It contains rich spiritual energy and has a smooth taste..."
The black dwarf monk frowned and interrupted: "What kind of Hidden Sword Hanyu? You have the nerve to sell such a small piece. Are you too dark?"
The mortal waiter politely replied: "No charge, free tasting."
"free?"
The black dwarf monk and Yu were both stunned, thinking that there is such a good thing?
"Try a piece!"
Since there was no need for money, the two of them were not polite and asked for a piece each. After entering the mouth, they felt that the taste was extremely delicious and their saliva kept gushing out.
The black dwarf monk finished one piece and felt that it was not enough. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he said shamelessly: "I was too busy eating just now and didn't taste the taste. Let's have another piece."
The mortal waiter didn't say anything, and handed over another piece of spiritual fish meat, and also gave a piece to Yu Xing.
The two of them ate the spirit fish meat and finished a bowl of spirit rice, feeling too embarrassed to ask for any more. After all, as a cultivator, it would be too shameful for mortals to look down upon him.
“I didn’t expect that spiritual rice cooked with spiritual castor oil would be so delicious.”
The black dwarf monk patted his belly and said with satisfaction.
"Spirit fish and tea are also good,"
The monk surnamed Yu also felt the same way.
The black dwarf monk was secretly surprised when he heard this, thinking that the store owner's methods were really powerful!
Just one light meal made me want to buy the spiritual rice, spiritual castor oil, Tibetan sword cold fish, and Songyu peak tea I had eaten.
"No, hold on! I have to watch my wallet carefully and don't buy anything!"
