Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 31 The Ear-rooted Hero
Eight stores were remodeled and opened at the same time. After Xu Huiying completed the transition smoothly and in an orderly manner, she was extremely busy. Instead of being able to breathe a sigh of relief, she became even more haggard.

Within a week of opening, the zodiac commemorative coin set she launched did receive some recognition, but the price was too low.

A set of zodiac commemorative coins costs only over one hundred yuan, and the daily shipment volume is two to three hundred sets, which is about two to three thousand.

At the end of the week, we invited thousands of customers and sold more than 2,000 units, but the gross profit was not enough to cover the rent of a store.

Sitting outside the largest exhibition hall, Xu Huiying's eyes were full of stars.

She had been prepared for a difficult start, but she didn't expect to be greeted by a hellish start.

The shop assistants were very excited at the beginning, but now they are starting to show fatigue.

She is very understanding!

If it were her, she would receive so many customers every day and complete more than a dozen orders, but the commission would only be a few dozen yuan. She couldn't motivate herself every day.

As for the conjoined banknotes proposed by Lu Feng, two sets were sold in a week, with a revenue of 10,000 yuan.

The store was already quite dissatisfied with Xu Huiying's decision to promote conjoined banknotes. Many employees also secretly expressed their resistance.

More than fifty people tried to push it for two days and pushed two sets in total, while the others got nothing!

After two days, they had all but given up.

According to their feedback to Xu Huiying, "Everyone agrees that Siamese banknotes have no basis at all. Customers come with a cautious attitude and it is impossible to sell them."

"Calm down first. We must adjust our strategy."

Xu Huiying encouraged herself. She knew that if she continued like this, not only her, but also Lu Feng would not be able to bear it.

Closing the store and admitting defeat is their only outcome!

"Sister Xu, two customers are asking about conjoined banknotes. We don't quite understand. Please..." A clerk suddenly came to Xu Huiying.

Xu Huiying stood up suddenly, rubbed her face, and forced a professional smile: "Come right up!"

In the exhibition hall, she soon met two old customers.

"Sister E, Uncle Gen..." Xu Huiying's excited voice rang out in the exhibition hall, "You two haven't been here for a long time, what have you been busy with recently?"

The visitor, Xu Huiying, couldn't be more familiar. She was a veteran customer of Jiu Zang and one of the two customers with the highest quality and greatest stickiness who stayed after the opening of Jiu Zang's showroom.

But in recent years, as they have learned more and more and bought more things, they have come less and less often.

Just like Lu Feng said, one day these people will find out that most of them are losing money, and they will stop buying.

Although Xu Huiying knew very well that hundreds of thousands of dollars were just a drop in the bucket for these real "villagers".

Once upon a time, the phrase "Several buildings in my home are busy with renovations recently" instantly killed any other words.

Both of them have dyed black hair and look young even though they are over 60 years old.

"Xiao Xu, it's been a long time. I heard that you have released new things recently, so I asked Sister A'e to come and take a look." Liu Sangen's voice was full of energy. He always wore a pair of sandals. In September, he was dressed in standard Guangdong style, with a vest and suit shorts, as casual as it could be.

As her name suggests, Xie Jiao'e pays great attention to her appearance, especially the emerald Maitreya Buddha pendant around her neck, which shows her elegance all the time.

She was not as enthusiastic as Liu Sangen because there were few people she looked up to, but Xu Huiying knew that once she got familiar with them, she would be easier to talk to than anyone else.

The two have been close friends for many years. They grew up together, lived in the same village and dug tree roots to eat together. Their relationship is so close that even their respective partners tacitly acknowledge it.

As Liu Sangen told his wife, "When we were both wearing open-crotch pants to pick up pig manure, you didn't even know where you were. Tell me how many years you have been with me." The clerks in the exhibition hall secretly gave them a nickname, "Er Gen Xia Lu."

Now, only the collections they don't have can arouse their interest. After receiving a call from the clerk yesterday, the two of them came out again.

"These are the two sets, the Kang Yin Ge Four-piece Set and the Great Wall Four-piece Set, and their respective cutouts."

"Given your expertise, I don't need to introduce you any more. Compared with ordinary full sets, there are two biggest highlights. One is that they are extremely rare with all the same numbers, and the other is that they are extremely cost-effective."

Xu Huiying introduced.

Xie Jiao'e next to her smiled and said, "High cost performance is not a selling point."

Xu Huiying was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Sister E is right. In our industry, cost performance is not a selling point. You get what you pay for, and good things should be priced well. However, the situation of these two sets is a bit special. The reason why they are cost-effective is that their value has not yet been tapped."

Liu Sangen nodded, flipping through the booklet in his hand, and said, "Xiao Xu, the girls in the store you mentioned have said that the all-same-number is indeed interesting, but what we want to know now is, what is the difference between it and the normal senior number?"

"Tell me, since they are both seniors and have the same size, why are they only sold for over a thousand? Just like you said, good goods naturally deserve a good price."

This is indeed a problem.

Xu Huiying frowned. The four-edition set with all the same numbers was not as good as the four-edition set with three same numbers, and the price was more than half lower. This was really unreasonable.

Are all collectors fools? Or are all merchants fools?
One of them must be a liar!

Xu Huiying was a little anxious, but she was not familiar with conjoined banknotes. All she knew about them was the materials that Lu Feng sent to her in the store for training.

Faced with the difficult question, Xu Huiying naturally did not evade it, but said honestly: "To be honest, I am also a novice when it comes to conjoined banknotes. How about you two go outside for a cup of tea first? The new 'Duck Shit Fragrant Single Cong' in the store this year has a very pure flavor. I asked my partner to come over and talk to you two. He is more professional than me when it comes to conjoined banknotes."

"Okay then." Liu Sangen agreed.

The two of them had been wandering around doing nothing all day, and were so poor that they only had money and time left. It would be nice to have a place where they could stay comfortably for an afternoon.

Xu Huiying personally brewed some Dancong tea for the two of them and called Lu Feng in person.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. We have two old customers who want to learn about conjoined banknotes. Do you have time to come over?"

"Yes, yes, the exhibition hall of the Pearl River Hotel."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Huiying smiled apologetically and said, "You two should have some tea first. Mr. Lu will probably be here in about half an hour."

The two nodded.

Liu Sangen drank two cups of tea, and immediately felt his mouth watering. He half-lay down comfortably. "Xiao Xu, let me ask you a question, why did you suddenly want to leave Jiuzang and start your own business? As far as I know, Jiuzang's Dasi has been selling very well recently, and many friends in our group have bought some. I see that the Dasi in your store is much more expensive than others."

Xu Huiying felt a little uncomfortable and smiled apologetically: "There are some things that cannot come out of my mouth, otherwise it will break the rules. Regarding this issue, you two should understand it in the future. Now I can only say that I broke up with them because I didn't want to be the version of the senior they pushed."

"Oh? You mean, there's something fishy?" Xie Jiao'e couldn't help but speak.

Xu Huiying smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes."

"Really? There is something I can't say openly. It makes me feel itchy and uncomfortable." Xie Jiao'e said unhappily.

Xu Huiying, however, is very secretive. As she said, some words really cannot come out of her mouth directly, otherwise it will change the meaning.

This is taboo!
