Not only does the price of the perfume need to be changed, but the interior decoration of the store also needs to be changed.
While looking at the current decoration of the store, Sean guided Luo Dian on how to decorate it next. After all, Sean was an architectural designer in his previous life and was not very proficient in decoration, but he still knew a little bit about it.
At the same time, Sean also met Luo Dian's newly recruited clerk.
The four new clerks recruited by Luo Dian are all old clerks of the original "Golden Laiden" clothing store. They are smart, agile, and very familiar with the entire store.
It was with their help that Luo Dian was able to decorate the store in such a short period of time.
It was still early before the store officially opened for business, so Sean chatted a few words with each of these store clerks.
But through chatting, Sean discovered that although these clerks all have long working experience, they are not familiar with perfumes and spirits.
So taking this opportunity, Sean gave a simple training to the store staff.
This training mainly tells them how to introduce the origin of perfume and spirits to customers. By the way, Sean also taught them some classic sales techniques (deception), such as:
1. The inventory of perfume is running out. You see so many people are buying it now, it may be gone after a while! (Create a sense of urgency for customers.)
2. The price of perfume may increase over time. If you want to buy it, you must buy it early! (It implies that customers should buy it now!)
3. Perfume is an item used daily by the gods of the Kingdom of God. Buying it back will give you face in front of your friends! (It implies that customers will be embarrassed if they don’t buy it.)
...
These are some commonly used sales terms in previous lives, and I believe they are equally applicable to people in this world.
Although these terms are all deceptive, they are aimed at the nobles who exploit the poor, and Sean has no psychological burden. Moreover, Sean will use the money to lead the poor to become rich in the future. Instead, there is a sense of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor"
"The pleasure!"
Sofia followed Sean obediently and listened to Sean's training to the store clerks. However, she was not interested in these. Instead, she became very interested in the perfumes on the shelves.
Luo Dian looked thoughtful, and excitedly took out a small notebook and wrote down everything Sean said.
…
After the training, Sean called Henry, Luo Dian, and Windsor to his side and told them:
"Now I understand the situation clearly.
Henry, take the carriage back to your residence and bring 5 barrels of spirits over."
"Yes, sir!" Henry replied immediately.
Sean nodded and looked at Luo Dian:
"Luo Dian, take advantage of this last period of time to decorate the store properly and place the 'Holy Light Flame' liquor in the most conspicuous place in the store. Let's open the door on time to pick up customers after 10 o'clock!"
"Okay, sir!" Luo Dian also replied seriously.
"Sofia, Windsor, let's go outside the store and see if any noble nobles worthy of our attention have come over in advance."
"Okay." Windsor and Sophia replied.
While answering, Sophia also felt a little strange. Why did she feel like she had become His Highness Sean's subordinate?
But she didn't think much and followed Sean out of the store.
...
…
Sean and the other three did not go out directly from the front door this time, but went around from the back door to the front of the store.
Compared to just now, there are more people in front of the store now.
The huge crowd blocked York Street, which was not very wide in the first place. There were even a lot of people crowded in front of the "Blue Oak" magic supplies store opposite, and the passing carriages were also greatly affected.
Sean even saw the city guards maintaining law and order in the crowd.
"This can't go on like this," Sean said to Windsor.
"Why doesn't it work?" Windsor asked: "Isn't the more people the better? The more people come into the store, the more goods we sell."
"No, no." Sean shook his head: "After all, the store we run is a luxury store, not a vegetable market. Too many people is not good.
Our products are mainly sold to aristocrats. If the store is too crowded, the aristocrats will have a poor shopping experience.
Sophia, if it were you, would you like to squeeze in with others to buy something?"
Sean looked at Sophia.
Sophia was stunned for a moment when she heard Sean's question, but she immediately replied: "Of course I do, it's more lively when there are more people!"
Sean: "..."
"Cough, cough." Sean cleared his throat: "Anyway, it is necessary to get rid of a group of people who are just watching the fun."
So Sean led the two of them towards the crowd.
…
When many onlookers saw His Highness Sean approaching, they all saluted Sean and urged:
"Your Highness Sean, it's almost 10 o'clock now. When will your shop open?"
"We have been waiting here for a long time, please open the door!"
"There are so many people outside now, why don't you open the door first and let us in!"
...
Sean ignored these urging voices and said loudly in front of the bustling crowd:
"My store will open on time at ten o'clock. This has been scheduled, but the store is not fully ready yet.
I am here to tell you one thing: the perfumes and spirits sold in this store are very expensive. There are two price ranges for perfumes - 15 gold coins for a small bottle and 25 gold coins for a large bottle. The price of 'dwarf spirits' is hard to say, but it is very expensive.
It may exceed 30 gold coins, so if you don’t need it, you can go back in advance.”
After hearing Sean's words, there was a moment of silence in the crowd, but in an instant, a huge sound wave resounded in the open space in front of the store:
"Did I hear you correctly? The price of perfume is not silver coins but gold coins?"
"A bottle costs 15-25 gold coins, are you trying to steal money?"
"According to the market price, hiring a bronze-level expert only costs 10-20 gold coins a month. Even a bronze-level expert cannot afford your things!"
...
Listening to the overwhelming questioning voices coming from in front of him, Sean remained calm because he had long expected that there would be such questioning voices.
So Sean shouted:
"Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, be quiet!"
After the crowd's volume lowered a bit, Sean explained: "Actually, the price is so high for everyone's benefit!
Think about it, if we set a low price, for example, a bottle of perfume only sells for one or two gold coins, and the total products in the entire store only cost dozens of gold coins.
If one of you rich people buys them all, won’t my store open for just one minute and then close? The higher price is to give everyone a chance to buy it, right?”
After hearing Sean's explanation, the onlookers immediately looked at each other and fell into deep thought. This statement seemed to make some sense!
However, some onlookers felt that something was wrong and wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute.
Chapter completed!
