Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Furthermore, their mentality is too fragile, and their ability to cope is too poor. Even a dog would shake its head at them. They might regret it later.

So now, at Weilong Tattoo Shop, there's an extra line under the sign: "You can get a tattoo if you have an ID card and are at least 18 years old."

This has indeed deprived young people who wanted to get tattoos to stand out and show that they were different from others of the possibility they had previously had at the Weilong Tattoo Shop.

Of course, after that sentence was updated, the number of young people coming to my door recently has indeed decreased significantly.

But along with this increased Zhang Huolong's strange thoughts.

At that time, Zhang Chaoqiang was still figuring out his spiritual power control day and night, and keeping up with the practical experience of artificially synthesizing crystal cores in the science class, so I didn't tell Zhang Chaoqiang too many details.

To satisfy the curiosity, unconventional thinking, and interest in the unknown among young people.

Since they were so interested in tattoos, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei decided to take a different approach and promote temporary tattoos, which are short-term stickers that don't harm the skin and don't leave permanent marks...

This has become what is known as "quick tattoo designs," which can satisfy young people's curiosity about such things while also preventing them from actually getting a permanent tattoo on their bodies.

This gives young people who haven't reached a certain age a chance to think.

In fact, Zhang Huolong's business acumen is more flexible than that of the average person. He discovered the shortcomings of other temporary tattoos on the market, namely that the designs were too rigid, too dull and monotonous.

Since there were no tattoos at all, we used Shen Qiangwei's tattoo examples and her own sketches to find some ink-wash sticker manufacturers to customize them.

Previously, Zhang Huolong had a fairly good relationship with the factory manager, which allowed him to get to know many printing factories. They were able to meet the sticker requirements...

So, in terms of quality and effect, this temporary tattoo sticker, which is priced higher than those on the market, has finally appeared out of nowhere!

Their initial intention was to get young people to replace real tattoos with temporary tattoos.

Therefore, the target audience has always been those 15-18 years old, the most rebellious young people.

However, the soul-searching question from Zhang Chaoqiang has finally arrived:

"So why is it that Dad's current target audience for temporary tattoos is ultimately those elementary school students?"

Zhang Huolong: "..."

He scratched his head. Well, this did seem a little unexpected.

He stammered, "Chaoqiang, it seems you weren't really listening to me. I said our target audience is those going through their rebellious phase, curious about the unknown..."

And among those young people who like to be different, are elementary school students not curious about the unknown? Can't elementary school students go through a rebellious phase? I remember you already knew how to argue with your parents when you were in elementary school…

In other words, you started your rebellious phase in elementary school…

After Zhang Huolong finished speaking, it was Shen Qiangwei's turn. The two of them were like playing badminton, going back and forth, never letting a conversation falter.

Getting anxious and red-faced, Zhang Chaoqiang immediately realized upon seeing the two people constantly explaining that the reality had indeed deviated significantly from their previous expectations.

This change is absolutely fatal; it completely means losing sight of one's target audience.

However, young people don't like using temporary tattoos to fool themselves, but elementary school students don't understand anything about it, so they really like them.

Even if all parents listened to those stupid rumors on the internet: that temporary tattoos suck blood, etc.

This did not deter the enthusiasm of elementary school students in the slightest.

Zhang Huolong continued to argue, "Actually, this is quite good. We just call these stickers temporary tattoos for convenience. In reality, they are products that have been approved by government entertainment departments, etc."

Give me back the official name for this so-called toy, it's called body stickers…

Zhang Huolong, who originally had no target customers, unexpectedly discovered that elementary school students could always be the group that would help him out. This made this clever man discover a logic of how society works.

That is, money from elementary school students is the easiest to earn.

"Back then, we didn't have these conditions. Nowadays, elementary school students are all tall and strong, eat well, dress warmly, and have a lot of pocket money. Last time, a kid had a birthday party and ordered hundreds of temporary tattoos to give to his classmates and friends. He just took out a thousand yuan without hesitation."

Back in the day, a thousand yuan was enough for us to drink those powdered milk teas 500 times! Right, honey?

In an instant, the two traveled through time and the river of years, returning to their childhood, when they were actually sixteen or seventeen years old.

The two of them were at the only so-called milk tea shop at the entrance of Potou Village. They bought all kinds of milk tea powder with different flavors for 2 yuan, which they regarded as a divine delicacy.

Now... a few days ago, to celebrate the huge sales of temporary tattoos, they splurged and bought the hottest Heytea, only to find that the milk tea, priced at twenty or thirty yuan a cup, no longer brought back the feeling of those days.

People and things change, and that's all there is to it.

Of course, Zhang Huolong's behavior always elicited some very strange responses. Not only did elementary school students buy his temporary tattoos, but even some adults, young couples in their twenties, and even middle-aged people in their thirties and forties had ordered them.

However, what they mainly buy are special, intricate patterns containing hearts, usually the kind of patterns branded onto the lower abdomen that contain special intentions and meanings.

It must have been a sudden inspiration that came from watching some movie, right?

If the client hadn't specifically asked if this design could be made, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei would never have heard of this special tattoo.

Therefore, once it was launched, it opened up the adult market, allowing them to sell their products online and even receive a considerable number of orders.

Zhang Chaoqiang would ask when they opened their online store.

But after glancing at the dog next to him, his sanity plummeted in an instant!

Because several parts of the dog's body have those strange, heart-shaped patterns that adults brand on their lower abdomen...

Without much thought, as soon as Zhang Chaoqiang opened Langgou's account, a purchase link for this temporary tattoo was displayed in the showcase on his homepage.

It turns out that during their nightly live streams, whenever the parents started promoting their temporary tattoos, many viewers in the live stream would urge Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei to use these designs specifically for the lower abdomen...

They specifically stick these on hounds so that they will buy the temporary tattoos.

.........

Therefore, under the enthusiastic demands of the audience, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei had no choice but to comply.

Audiences always enjoy watching strange and unusual things, and satisfying their curiosity results in a significant number of purchase orders.

So, from the moment Zhang Huolong conceived the temporary tattoo, to finding a factory to place an order, and then to the entire process of selling it, the original target consumer group was rebellious teenagers who were approaching adulthood but not yet fully grown.

However, the reality is that apart from young people of this age, almost everyone else, regardless of age or gender, has bought temporary tattoos, and some elderly people even watch live streams regularly.

Even though temporary tattoos are of no use to them, they might still support Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's products when they're scrolling through short videos in their spare time, out of their love and curiosity for Langgou.

Some elderly people who own pets even bought these products and copied them onto their pets, like the ermine dogs, sticking these patterns on their bodies.

This completely baffled the young people in the family, but they were too embarrassed to explain the meaning of the pattern to their elders, resulting in several families experiencing similar misunderstandings.

From another perspective, Zhang Huolong is indeed a talented businessman.

Because he had precisely targeted his consumer group to some extent, Zhang Chaoqiang came to the conclusion that if Zhang Huolong identified anyone as one of his consumers, then that group was definitely not Zhang Huolong's true consumer group…

Those he selected were his true consumer group.

However, their experience in this area has indeed enabled them to make a lot of money from temporary tattoos, which were popular on a whim.

There were probably around 30,000 to 40,000 of them, but this trend came and went quickly.

Especially those elementary school students, their enthusiasm only lasts three minutes. Their curiosity is quickly worn off, and they go looking for other fun things to do.

Recent sales have seen a significant drop.

Therefore, when dealing with these consumer groups, it is still necessary to continuously produce some valuable and interesting products.

Although the proportion of purchases by primary school students is much smaller than before, the number of adults who patronize the store because of special tattoo designs has increased significantly.

Therefore, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei set their sights on adult products as their next step.

They discovered that this group of people enjoys having fun and are willing to spend a lot of money on it.

Of course, Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't possibly know about this bizarre idea.

During the television broadcast, Zhang Chaoqiang thought about how his parents' relationships with their neighbors in Pingshui Street over the years hadn't been very pleasant.

As Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei just mentioned, their purpose in making temporary tattoos was not only to make money but also to satisfy the curiosity of young people.

To avoid leaving real tattoos on their bodies and causing trouble for their future lives, as the strange looks from others are one of the troubles in life.

Zhang Chaoqiang had always known that the neighbors didn't really like his parents.

Although they wouldn't express it directly, subtle hints would emerge from small details and words in daily life. Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang raised this question with his parents at this juncture.

"Mom and Dad, when I make some money, I'll buy you a bigger house and we can leave this place, okay?"

"Okay, okay, of course it's good."

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei didn't take it to heart. After all, a so-called large house would be at least 200 square meters. In the center of Tian'an City, that would probably cost tens of millions of yuan to build.

Chapter 206 Five Minutes, First Stage

It was always just a thought.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei have always had very narrow perspectives. Even though Zhang Chaoqiang believes that they have a basic understanding of the world, they still cannot break down the cognitive barrier between them.

They always thought so.

These things are very difficult for them.

However, what is difficult for ordinary people may be nothing at all in the eyes of martial artists.

Zhang Chaoqiang told them that he could handle even a hundred million, let alone ten million!

However, in Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong's eyes, although martial artists can make money, they still hope that Zhang Chaoqiang will keep the money for them to use. After all, they have heard that martial artists consume a lot of resources and money.

Although they can't help Zhang Chaoqiang much in martial arts, they shouldn't hold him back beforehand.

So, when Zhang Chaoqiang mentioned wanting to buy a house for his parents, although they verbally agreed, in reality, they would never actually respond.

They simply took Zhang Chaoqiang's words as a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Looking back over the years, the two realized they had actually integrated into the community, even though the place was called Ping Shui Street, which seemed to imply a chance encounter, without any real significance.

But after so many years of living with the neighbors, they had only shown their normal side; at least, they only had some private opinions about Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei.

However, he had absolutely no prejudice against Zhang Chaoqiang.

They've gotten used to living there, and neither of them really wants to move out anytime soon.

"Chaoqiang, we've thought about it carefully and decided that we shouldn't spend your money to buy a house. It's our job as your parents to give you a complete and tidy home."

In reality, Zhang Chaoqiang and Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong still have a significant generation gap. They believe that a house is the only place that constitutes a complete home, but Zhang Chaoqiang believes that home is wherever the family is.

Of course, this is also related to their childhood experiences. The more insecure they are, the more they want to rely on physical objects to give them a sense of security and confidence.

The upbringing of Zhang Chaoqiang's parents was vastly different from his own.

The love they received from their parents' generation was worlds apart from the love that was poured onto Zhang Chaoqiang.

Even though Zhang Chaoqiang suffered a lot because of Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's strange and unconventional love when he was a child, and even now, these feelings are real and should not be denied because of them.
