739 [Buying Frenzy] (Part 1)
Zhonghai City, New Century Department Store—
As the most famous luxury consumption location in Zhonghai, New Century Department Store carries countless people who want to be fashionable, popular, and superior, showing the voices of its rich customers.
As long as you come here, there is nothing cheap here. This is not a place where poor people can come in. Of course, you can come in too. The question is whether you buy it or not?
You can drool at the thousands of clothes and tens of thousands of kohlrabas, but you just can't afford it.
Therefore, as a salesperson at the New Century Department Store, Liu Wei has always been very arrogant. She is a vain girl, and like many girls, she has a common problem of gossip. However, her favorite tongue is how precious and strange the products she sells in department stores are, how many rich and famous ladies have bought one after another, and how many poor people can only drool.
Every time she talks, she seems to transform into the rich girlfriend or the famous lady with a high vision, giving instructions on goods in department stores and swearing her wallet.
This special job has made Liu Wei respect among many friends. Every time she starts talking, little stars appear in everyone's eyes. This makes the vain Liu Wei feel very satisfied and fulfilled.
Because of hard work, Liu Wei was transferred from the first floor of the women's packaging cabinet to the third floor of the mobile phone counter in the New Century Department Store.
Almost all of the third floor sell high-tech products, such as cameras, cameras, walkmans, etc. Among them, mobile phones are the most expensive and the ones are the best. After all, this is the thing that is popular in this era.
Fortunately, Liu Wei was transferred to the Nokia mobile phone counter. It is said that this brand of mobile phones are now very popular. Many times she can sell 100 pieces a day, with a commission of several dozen yuan per piece. Her monthly commission is about ten times more than her salary.
Liu Wei was very happy and felt that the high-end cosmetics she gave to the female leader last time were not given for free. Look, it has now worked.
As the first day at work, Liu Wei packed herself up and then came to the Nokia mobile phone sales position.
Directly opposite her is her mortal enemy, no, to be precise, the Ericsson Counter, the Ericsson Counter.
Ericsson mobile phones were crazy for a while ago and the sales volume was very high, but recently they were suppressed by Nokia and Motorola. It is said that the quality of the phone was problematic, and Ericsson company also had tax evasion.
No matter whether these are true or false, in her opinion, anyone who blocks her wealth is an enemy, so she hates Ericsson to death.
"All employees should pay attention that the New Century Department Store will be open soon. Please prepare for welcoming guests."
A crisp sound came from the building broadcast.
The entire building immediately became turbulent, and in a moment, it became extremely quiet again. The cheerful and soothing welcome songs began to be played on the radio.
On the Nokia counter—
Liu Wei was wearing a light blue professional suit, with her chest and buttocks raised, her hands on her lower abdomen, her chin was slightly raised, and she looked at her spirits.
Soon, the New Century Department Store opened and customers entered one after another.
The business has begun.
In Liu Wei's imagination, she could sell at least fifty or sixty mobile phones today, and she was very confident in her eloquence.
If everything goes well, then it only takes three or four months to make a lot of money yourself and you can buy a mobile phone at that time. Well, what brand should you choose?
Just as Liu Wei was imagining, a commotion came from the entrance, like thousands of elephants rushing, and the roof and floor were shaking.
Liu Wei: “…”
I couldn't help but take a look at my female colleague.
The three women couldn't help but look over, and no one knew what was going on.
Looking at the salesmen in other counters around, those selling cameras, cameras, and walkmans, they were all confused and didn't know what was going on.
But soon, an amazing scene appeared in front of me.
A group of people rushed in from the entrance, both old and young, all rushed towards the mobile phone counter.
Liu Wei and her colleagues were shocked. There were so many people, so hurry up and prepare to welcome customers.
Liu Wei was nervous and excited at this moment. She never expected that so many customers would come to support her on the first day of work. Could it be that she was very lucky?
But before Liu Wei could finish her happiness, she saw that the large group of people were all wiping over their Nokia mobile phone counter and lined up in the Ericsson mobile phone counter area opposite.
Liu Wei: “…”
Other salespersons: "…"
It's hard to believe your eyes.
Isn’t this episode of Ericsson’s phone being hacked?
Didn’t their sales decline?
How come so many people visit?
Have these guys gone to the wrong place?
At the same time, there was also the duty manager of the New Century Department Store looking at the scene before her. A thought suddenly flashed in her mind. Could it be that... she ran back to her office in a hurry and took out a beautifully printed advertising paper from the drawer.
That’s right, it’s the DM advertisement, “Buy a mobile phone with a mortgage, Ericsson will help you!”
Could it be that this ad works?
This is not nonsense. At this moment, Ericsson's counter is crowded with people asking: "Can you get your phone home by giving it a hundred yuan? This is my ID card, this is my bank statement. Can I choose to repay the loan in three years?"
Looking at the Ericsson counter staff, it seems that they are prepared for these things - nonsense. For this day, they have been practicing hard for three days and three days without sleeping, in order to answer questions and help customers solve their doubts.
"Yes, your information is very complete, you just need to go to the CCB to make a move. We are partners with CCB, and you can open an account here now. Our mobile phones have been prepared for you. The mortgage is 20%, 30%, and 50%... The repayment time is one to five years, which is the best for you."
After training, it is different. Ericsson people are not hasty and nervous at all. Maybe there was a little bit at the beginning, but now, they have begun to answer customers' questions one by one and help customers buy the mobile phones they need.
soon--
Those customers who have completed the procedures will take their dream mobile phone, holding the mobile phone, like holding a child.
A big bearded man: "I didn't expect that as a pig slaughter, I can buy this kind of high-end thing today!"
"Yes, I am a teacher and my salary is not high, but I also bought one today, and I will be more proud of participating in the class reunion in the future." said another plain and fair-skinned man.
"I will never have to go upstairs and downstairs to answer the phone again. My girlfriend Xiaoli and I can use this phone to contact us." A young man said excitedly.
Countless people lined up to buy their favorite mobile phones, and for a moment, the Ericsson counter was overcrowded.
In desperation, the general manager and supervisor of the department store had to go out to help maintain order.
But as the managers and team leaders actually went to queue up to consult the situation, and they also wanted to mortgage a part to try it out.
The general manager was speechless about this.
Ericsson is busy, but Nokia and Motorola counters are so deserted.
Liu Wei was speechless. Looking at the people who bought mobile phones with mortgages in front of her, she hoped that these people would come to buy their own mobile phones. Those who were not customers, but money, and her commission.
The other counters had the same mind as Liu Wei. They looked at Ericsson with their eyes full of jealousy and hatred.
Jealous of how Ericsson's business is so good.
I hate my own goods, why can't I mortgage it?
...
In fact, at this moment, in addition to the New Century Department Store, the Golden Mobile City, Haosheng Mobile Phone Chain Stores, and the major mobile phone stores around are almost everywhere.
After all, in this era, mobile phones, as a luxury goods with high consumption, cannot enter thousands of households because of their high prices.
However, as a region with a relatively developed economy in China, people in China Overseas are very eager for mobile phones.
The "Money Buy a Mobile Phone with a Mortgage, Get it Home for 100 Yuan" activity launched by Ericsson directly broke the barrier of high mobile phone prices and made all potential customers who want to buy mobile phones surface, forming an irresistible surging wave.
And this crazy phenomenon is getting worse and worse.
