Chapter 116 No Matter What, the Money Is Right
“There’s a difference between hawking and selling things. When you think of hawking, all you can think of are worthless things.
Valuable items are never advertised. For example, the gold, jewelry and watches in department stores are all placed in beautiful glass cabinets. Not only are they not advertised, but you can only look at them but not touch them. When you go to look at them, the salesperson will even act as if he or she doesn’t want to pay attention to you.”
The three siblings didn't understand what she was going to say, and they all opened their eyes wide waiting for her next words.
“It is human nature to like those who are beyond one’s reach, and to ignore those who flatter and flatter one like a worn-out shoe.
Shouting will only make others think that our products cannot be sold even at a loss."
Xie Yuting pursed her lips and said, "Second brother didn't shout today, and didn't sell many sets!"
"The problem is not whether you shout or not, the problem is that your second brother looks too expensive, making passers-by too shy to approach.
If you don’t go and take a look, you won’t know what he’s selling, and if you don’t know what he’s selling, you can’t decide whether to buy it or not.”
Xie Changlin chewed over her words over and over again before he suddenly understood. His face instantly turned red, and to hide his embarrassment, he took his first bite of food tonight.
After eating, Wen Wan wanted to go back to her room and sleep. She didn't sleep well last night and was really sleepy now. She didn't waste any more time talking to them and directly proposed a solution.
"I will go with you to sell tomorrow. If Yuting wants to go, she can go with you and bring all the finished products from home.
Also, the third brother, remember to wear the new clothes you wore last time."
Although Xie Changlin didn't know the purpose of wearing new clothes, he did it the next day.
Wen Wan nodded with satisfaction and sighed softly, "This will surely fascinate a lot of people!"
It would be a waste if you don't use such a great beauty advantage.
Sure enough, the handsome boy Xie Changlin was wearing a very textured red embroidered hat and a red scarf around his neck, revealing only his fairly fair but definitely handsome face.
As soon as he stood there, he attracted the attention of a large number of young girls and wives, but they were too shy to come forward.
This is when Wen Wan came into play. She found a cute hat with a kitten on it and put it on her head. She smiled and asked the girl with long braids closest to her to come over and look.
After introducing the hat on her head, she also did not forget to introduce Xie Changlin next to her, "The one on my brother's head is also very nice. You can buy it back as a gift for your brothers at home or your boyfriend or classmate. It is very high-end and good-looking."
The girl glanced at Xie Changlin secretly, lowered her head in shame, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "I don't have a partner."
Wen Wan also glanced at Xie Changlin, only to see that he looked like he had been teased and had no desire to live. She tried hard not to laugh, glared at him and said, "I don't ask you to laugh, but don't look so stern. Do you still want to do business?"
Xie Changlin immediately adjusted his attitude and stood there pretending to be a model.
Seeing that the girl didn't say she wanted to buy anything and didn't ask the price but didn't leave, Wen Wan picked up a bunny-shaped hat and put it on her head.
Seeing this, Xie Yuting tactfully raised the mirror, and Wen Wan stroked her shoulders and pushed her to look at the mirror.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
The girl looked at herself in the mirror and showed a satisfied expression on her face, but she still didn't make it clear whether she wanted it or not.
Wen Wan winked at Xie Changlin. Although Xie Changlin was reluctant, he still said sincerely, "It looks good."
The girl's face turned even redder and she bought it on the spot without even bargaining.
With this girl as a pioneer, and seeing how beautiful the mask looked on her, all the people who had been watching from a distance came over.
They thought that Wen Wan was pretty and it was normal for her to look good in the hat, but the girl was ordinary looking and would also look good in it, so they were relieved.
I tried them on for a bit and then bought them all.
Those who had a partner or had a crush on someone saw how good Xie Changlin looked in them and bought a set as well.
They were sold out in a short while. Those who were too embarrassed to squeeze forward were all disappointed and gathered around reluctantly, not wanting to leave.
Wen Wan apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, today's stock is sold out, but it doesn't matter, we will come back to sell another batch in three days. If you come early, I will keep some for you."
A great victory was something worth celebrating, so Wen Wan took the brother and sister to a state-owned restaurant and ordered a table of food.
Seeing that Xie Changlin still looked uncomfortable as if he was dirty, Wen Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"I've helped you sell things and make money, but you still look so sad. Don't you think it's inappropriate?"
Xie Changlin hesitated for a moment and was unable to speak. "No... I just feel that making money this way is a bit..."
"A bit like a prostitute soliciting customers on the street?"
I didn't expect her to say something so blunt and harsh. I wanted to refute her but I felt she was right. I was constipated for a long time before I said:
"I just don't feel comfortable with it. Like you said, you get used to it after doing it many times."
Wen Wan didn't believe his nonsense at all, "You will become depressed if you do it too many times."
Obviously Xie Changlin had never heard of the word "depression" and his expression was very confused.
Wen Wan explained: "It means you will get a mental illness."
"I'm in good health, no."
"It has nothing to do with the body," Wen Wan continued to explain, holding back her temper, "If people force themselves to do things they don't like for a long time, their nature won't be relaxed and they'll easily become depressed.
For example, those women in the village who committed suicide by taking medicine.”
Xie Changlin felt that she was getting more and more ridiculous, and said speechlessly: "I definitely won't."
Wen Wan was also speechless for a moment, "People live in this world for so many decades, there is no need to choose to do things you don't like and embarrass yourself.
You think that using your looks to make money is like a prostitute using her body to make money, and you think that making money is particularly dishonorable, right?"
"A little bit," Xie Changlin said sincerely.
"Then do you think it's shameful for a rich kid to spend his family's money?"
Xie Changlin shook his head to indicate no.
"Student Xie, you are like a tyrant who only allows officials to set fires but does not allow ordinary people to light lamps.
The money of rich kids is earned by their parents, or in simpler terms, given by their parents.
Your handsome appearance is also given by your parents.
These are all things you got from your parents. Essentially, your appearance is no different from the money of rich kids.
There is nothing wrong with rich kids getting money from their parents and spending it on a life of luxury and debauchery.
You got your good looks from your parents, but you feel it is shameful to use it to earn money to support yourself.
You said you treat people differently.
Seeing Xie Changlin's disappointed look, Wen Wan knew that he still hadn't figured it out.
Wen Wan continued, "No matter how wrong you are, the money is not wrong.
I didn't steal or rob, didn't let anyone take advantage of me, didn't lose my dignity, and even made money. What's the problem?
Don't be ungrateful for what you have. Those hawkers outside are wishing to have a good reputation like you so that they can use it to sell more things and make more money.
You are still making a fuss. I think you are not poor enough and don’t want to make money.”
In this age where everything is judged by "shame", it is not difficult for Wen Wan to understand that he feels uncomfortable.
Soon the economy will develop rapidly, and he will understand what it means to laugh at the poor rather than at prostitutes.
"I understand. He didn't do anything. He just looked at me a few more times. Since I have decided to do business and make money, I have to serve the buyers well.
It makes people look at me more, makes them happy, and I make money, so it’s a win-win situation, and it’s a good thing.”
Wen Wan nodded with great satisfaction, "This young man is teachable!"
When the three of them finished eating and were about to leave, Wu Gang and Xu Sheng came in. It seemed that they had been waiting for the table for a long time, and now that Wen Wan had left, they sat down.
Wen Wan greeted them with a smile, but she didn't know what had happened to these two.
Wu Gang was still able to maintain the most basic politeness. He didn't smile at her but nodded in return. Xu Sheng simply rolled his eyes at her, as if he was very resentful.
Wen Wan thought about it carefully and it seemed that she had not offended either of them.
Did Xie Changqing say something to them?
The more I think about it, the more I feel this guess is reasonable. The last time Xie Changqing went crazy, he didn't go home. Maybe he complained to these two.
