My girlfriend is from 1949

"Sir, you have excellent taste. This pair of crystal glasses is festive yet elegant, making it a wonderful wedding gift."

The salesperson introduced the product with a smile, without simply saying yes or no, but instead demonstrating with concrete actions.

I went to the counter and took out this pair of crystal glasses.

The cup is crystal clear and has slightly arched edges.

The craftsmanship is exquisite; even a layman can tell the difference between a high-quality product and a cheap street vendor's item.

The two cups are inscribed with the words "Perfect Union" and "Auspicious Betrothal".

The eight characters, written in a vigorous and elegant style, give the crystal glass a grand yet refined look.

The literal meaning is also full of joy and celebration.

No wonder the salesperson said it was a great wedding gift.

Chen Huai'an chose it because of its unique and beautiful appearance and its festive atmosphere.

A pair of cups represents two cups, symbolizing a perfect match.

I picked one up and weighed it in my hand; it felt quite heavy, not bad.

The salesperson didn't stop them; they just provided information from the side.

Many crystal glasses on the market contain lead.

When leaded crystal glasses are used to hold acidic beverages or hot water, the lead will leach out more quickly and enter the human body.

Long-term intake can lead to excessive blood lead levels, resulting in chronic poisoning, and lead is almost impossible to metabolize and excrete naturally in the body.

It can also damage the kidneys, liver, and hematopoietic function.

In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure or anemia.

Some inferior colored crystal glasses also contain other heavy metals such as cadmium and chromium, which increase the metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys.

Our crystal glass is absolutely lead-free, so you can drink from it with complete peace of mind.

Moreover, this pair of crystal glasses is already of collector's quality; even if they are not used for drinking water, they can still be collected as decorative items.

Chen Huai'an nodded slightly, indicating that he was somewhat aware of these matters.

When I'm at home, I rarely use crystal glasses to drink water.

The thermos I purchased met the material requirements and was made of 316 stainless steel.

Moreover, the certificate of conformity will be checked before purchasing.

I'm afraid of encountering those shady collectibles from small workshops.

Products costing 100 yuan in supermarkets are generally of good quality.

These counterfeit products are usually sold online and by roadside vendors.

It's quite astonishing that something that's clearly prohibited by the state can be sold openly online.

Moreover, more than one anti-counterfeiting blogger purchased a cup made of 306 stainless steel online.

They all changed color after the testing reagent was used.

They've taken the art of spreading false information and passing off inferior goods as superior ones to the extreme!

The store is luxuriously decorated, and the products have complete inspection certificates, so it should be trustworthy.

If you are found to have committed fraud, being fined is a minor matter.

After all, to be able to drive such a luxurious car, a lot of money must have been spent on the renovation.

""

If you sell counterfeit goods and ruin your reputation, then no one will come back.

Of course, if this store has such a powerful background that it can sell counterfeit goods and get away with it even after being reported, then you can only accept your bad luck.

Chen Huai'an carefully examined the two crystal glasses, becoming more and more satisfied with them.

Smiling, he asked, "What did you mean by 'affordable luxury' just now?"

Since you're buying something as a gift, you should know its value and any historical background associated with it.

This is a good habit that you develop when you're in sales.

Only by understanding can you casually mention its value when giving it away.

Otherwise, if you encounter someone who doesn't understand the gift, you might give it away, but they'll probably just think it's something from a street vendor.

The sales clerk, instead of being impatient when asked, enthusiastically began to introduce the product.

After all, the ones who pick the goods are the buyers.

"Affordable luxury brands are mostly imported, such as the LVnum series and some Nachtmann series."

The market price is usually between 80 and 300 yuan per animal.

It is made of lead-free crystal using a machine, suitable for both home and business banquets.

Professional hand-blown models, available in the L MML series.

The market price is between 300 and 800 yuan per glass. They are usually extremely thin-walled and have a scientifically designed appearance, specifically designed to release the aroma of the wine.

The ultimate luxury items are collector's items.

For example, the Baccarat Cool series, limited edition engravings, and royal warrant editions.

It is a limited edition with a unique number, hand-cut and decorated with precious metals, making it a collectible item.

The one you've chosen is a top-tier luxury item, reaching the level of a limited-edition collectible.

Currently, this is the only pair available in our store... or rather, in the entire city of Shanghai.

This pair is priced at 20.

The salesperson demonstrated excellent professional knowledge and gave a skillful presentation.

Meanwhile, he kept secretly observing the customers' micro-expressions.

After a moment, seeing that the customer did not react or frown after hearing the price, I finally felt relieved.

The toughest hurdle is over!

No matter how much a customer likes a product, they first need to have the money to buy it.

After all, 200,000 is no small sum.

In a second-tier city, with current housing prices, that would be enough for a down payment on a commercial apartment.

In some suburban counties, houses that are 70 or 80 square meters only cost a little over 200,000 yuan!

Therefore, purchasing power is the key factor.

For example, a salesperson might like the luxury cars at the fourth store, but not have the money to buy them; it's the same principle.

Once purchasing power is established, the next step is to determine whether customers like the product and are willing to buy it.

Chen Huai'an listened attentively to the explanation and gained some understanding of crystal glasses.

Although I don't know much about him, I can still boast a few words.

The sales clerk stood quietly to the side, silently observing the customer's reaction.

Seeing his calm expression, he was only repeating the collection's value in a low voice.

They immediately understood that the customer was buying it as a gift and what the customer cared about.

He smiled and said, "Our shop also promises lifetime cleaning service! As long as you bring your receipt, you can have your cleaning service done at our shop anytime."

The voice wasn't loud, but it exuded a strong sense of confidence.

really

Upon hearing this, Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow and said without hesitation, "Wrap it up!"

The reason for such a straightforward response was that the salesperson had struck a chord with the customer.

Although he and Li Hongwei are good brothers, neither of them are snobbish people.

However, since it's a wedding gift, it should be something of value.

If the other party doesn't know what you're doing and thinks it's just some cheap stuff you bought at a street stall, then it's not worth it.

After all, in Li Hongwei's mind, his good brother wasn't doing so well in Shanghai.

He was just a sales representative for one company.

To put it bluntly, he's a salesperson!

Moreover, at the last gathering, while drinking, he even complained that he was planning to quit his job.

Therefore, in the other person's mind, you must not have much money.

If you give him a pair of crystal glasses, even if you don't think of them as cheap, ten-dollar items from a street stall, you'll at most think they're something from a decoration store that costs tens of dollars.

If you can't see its value, what's the difference between that and wearing fine clothes in the dark?

If you give an expensive gift but it's treated like something worth only a few dozen dollars, what a waste!

But with a payment receipt bearing a red stamp, wouldn't the value be immediately clear?

And the best part is that you don't have to say anything.

All you need to do is tell him that he can get his cleaning done for free with the receipt, and everything will be taken care of.

Li Hongwei would keep the receipts safe and would also check the prices.

Only by knowing the price can you understand the sincerity of your good brother.

"Take care, Mr. Chen. Welcome to visit again."

The salesperson escorted the customer to the door and respectfully saw them out.

He gripped his phone tightly, his face beaming with excitement.

I just managed to persuade this young, wealthy man to become a member and add him as a friend.

Of course, although the saleswoman had delicate features and a relatively tall figure, she couldn't be described as beautiful.

Therefore, she never had any inappropriate thoughts.

The reason for my excitement is that I added a friend.

From then on, this wealthy and decisive customer became her regular customer.

Whenever there are new products or promotions, you can send a message to let others know.

If a customer is interested, then that's your sales performance.

A 5% commission is quite generous.

Just like the crystal glasses that were just sold for 20 yuan a pair, the commission is 1 yuan.

Moreover, the commission is tiered, meaning the more you sell, the higher your commission will be.

Therefore, accumulating loyal customers is extremely important.

If ten regular customers make purchases each month, and each spends 5 yuan, that's a turnover of 50 yuan.

The commission alone amounted to 2.5 yuan.

For sales exceeding 50, the commission rate will be higher.

This is also the motivation for the sales staff to work hard.

Because as long as it's a normal business, you can usually guarantee a minimum of 30 in sales per month.

With a little more effort, you can reach the top of the first tier of commissions.

To earn higher commissions later, they will naturally work harder.

Although the boss paid out higher commissions, sales also increased.

Moreover, the profit margins for these luxury goods are extremely high.

For example, a plastic bag from a certain luxury brand is worth 5 yuan.

A roll of ordinary transparent tape in a 2-dollar store can be sold as a 2-yuan bracelet when branded as a foreign luxury brand.

So, although the boss seems to be paying more commission, he actually earns more!

People like Chen Huai'an are clearly wealthy; their decisive and efficient purchasing makes them top-tier, high-quality customers.

The other sales clerks looked on with envy.

Who wouldn't like a nouveau riche who spends money so readily?

He gets even more excited when he stands at the door and sees customers get into luxury cars worth millions parked on the side of the road.

Who wouldn't like a capable man?

Just like the true meaning of love: a woman who truly loves you won't care what color Maybach you drive.

As Chen Huai'an got into the car, he saw the salesperson standing at the store entrance.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it, placed the exquisite box containing the crystal glass on the passenger seat, and drove straight home.

After getting home, I did some basic training and took a hot shower.

Then I lay in bed playing on my phone and fell asleep without realizing it.

This is a common problem among modern young people: they lie in bed playing on their phones, and when they get tired, they automatically fall asleep.

next day

Ring ring.

Chen Huai'an was still brushing his teeth in the bathroom when the phone rang.

"Boss, I'll send the medicinal herbs over right now."

We're leaving now, and we'll be at your building in fifteen minutes.

Do you need me to bring you breakfast?

Zhao Zhiyuan's voice came through the phone.

As the company's CEO, I always do things personally.

Especially when it comes to buying things for the boss, it's something they take very seriously.

When I went to buy medicine yesterday, I even brought an expert with me.

It's about supervising the packaging to prevent being fooled by inferior medicinal materials.

After all, many places now offer both high-quality and lower-quality medicinal herbs.

The price difference is at least 30%!

Moreover, the more valuable the medicinal material, the greater the price difference.

For example, if you pay for wild-caught produce but end up with artificially cultivated produce, the difference is huge!

Such sordid situations exist in every industry.

If you don't keep a close eye on your car when you get it tinted, they might even switch out the engine.

If you take your computer to a repair shop to install an operating system, they might steal a memory stick if you're not careful.

I went to buy gold, but it turned out to be adulterated.

Similar situations abound; in the pursuit of profit, there is no limit to how despicable and shameless people can be!

Zhao Zhiyuan was worried about something going wrong, so he personally kept an eye on things.

Especially since C knew Chen Huai'an's identity.

His safety is naturally of great importance.

If there's something wrong with the medicinal herbs, I'll be in big trouble!

However, Zhao Zhiyuan is not entirely affiliated with Guoan, so he is quite adept at navigating interpersonal relationships and social niceties.

Unfortunately, Boss Chen doesn't like to eat food given by men.

So, my sincere heart was misplaced...

Chen Huai'an wiped the ointment from his lips: "No need, just wait for me outside the community."

Then he hung up the phone, shaved, washed his face, and changed into a well-fitting casual suit.

I'm going back to attend my best friend's engagement party today, so I naturally need to dress formally.

Wearing a formal suit makes him look too stiff, and it seems too artificial given their relationship.

A casual style suit, just right!

Chen Huai'an tidied his hair in front of the mirror, and after confirming that there was no problem, he picked up the travel bag on the coffee table, opened the door, and went downstairs.

The travel bag was filled with pre-packaged precious medicinal herbs.

These medicinal herbs were all brought back from the Republican era.

If it were released to the market, it would not only attract fierce competition, but also trigger investigations by relevant departments.

After all, some medicinal herbs are protected plants and are prohibited from being picked and sold.

Even those that remain in the wild are collected for emergency use.

Under normal circumstances, no one would use it, let alone sell it.

Once, when Chen Huai'an visited a classmate's house, he saw a string of tiger claws, now reduced to white bones, hanging from the roof beam.

According to classmates, it has been hanging there for 30 years.

Even when someone offered a high price to buy it, his father refused to sell!

Therefore, it is very difficult to buy protected wild medicinal herbs in modern times.

Even if you buy one or two at a high price, they won't be of much use.

Because the longer the soaking time in the medicine is, the better; it takes at least half a month to take effect.

Chen Huai'an naturally couldn't buy them in modern times, so he bought them all during the Republic of China era.

Gold purchased in modern times was still very valuable during the Republic of China era.

As long as you're willing to spend the money, there are plenty of people willing to go to the mountains to pick rare medicinal herbs.

"Boss, the medicinal herbs have all been repackaged."

Upon seeing the boss, Zhao Zhiyuan immediately pointed to the large cardboard box in front of him and began to introduce it.

"As per your request, all the medicinal materials have been prepared."

The dosage of each packet is strictly formulated according to the requirements you sent.

There are two hundred packs in total. Please let me know if you need more.

Then he personally squatted down, picked up the large cardboard box, and put it into the trunk of the SUV.

Chen Huai'an was going to stay at home for two or three days, so he decided to drive back for convenience.

Although taking the high-speed rail is more relaxing, driving back is more convenient.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm leaving the company in your hands now!"

Chen Huai'an smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder, then got into the car and merged into the main road.
