The members of the Tianshengji Furniture Guild sat together. Furniture such as furniture can be regarded as luxury goods, but it is a necessity in Xitianshengji. The guild maintains a strict number limit, and each person represents a furniture store. If there are outsiders who want to squeeze in, the first thing to face is the rejection of the guild. But if the newcomers pass this test, then these old people will have to ask for their own blessings, because the newcomers will inevitably squeeze out an old man—the number of guild members will not change. This is the rule.
"The newly opened heretical furniture store, have you all sent someone undercover?" Among the thirteen people present, seven nodded and six did not express. "How's the situation over there?" The seven people all smiled. One of them played with their hands, and a hazy ball of light appeared on the palm of his palm. The ball of light was like a crystal ball in the hands of a witch, allowing everyone in the room to see what they wanted to see.
"Haha!" "Ha!" The thirteen people couldn't help laughing all of them. "You have seen it, they don't know where they got these messy things, but they also sold for the sky-high price of three thousand high-grade sacred stones. This furniture store doesn't need us to worry about it. Sooner or later, it will close by itself." Nodding unanimously, this time the guild gathering is over. Originally the topic was a heretical furniture store, but now the opponent is not worth mentioning, so what else can be discussed.
Luo Qian and Wei Shan stayed in the shop, not knowing that seven of the eight men behind them were undercover agents. The heretical furniture store door can be a bird, strange furniture that has never appeared in the holy world, not many people can accept it. Even after Alton saw their cargo. She kept shaking her head. The eight guys have no confidence in promoting this product.
"It's been seven days. I haven't sold a piece of furniture." Wei Shandong whispered to Luo Qian: "It's been almost a month since we came to Xitian Shengji. Randy promised to protect us for two months. It's already halfway through, and if we don't get any better next month, I'm afraid we will roll up and go home." Luo Qian bit his lip. He is not a person who will give up easily. The greater the challenge. The greater the motivation.
"Do you have a good way?" Luo Qian asked. Wei Shandong replied: "I think, now there are only price reduction promotions." Luo Qian shook his head: "That's even worse." Wei Shandong looked at him: "What do you think?" Luo Qian thought for a moment: "Someone might Can help us." "Who?" "Provence."
Wei Shan was taken aback for a moment: "That bastard? How can he help us?" Luo Qian didn't answer, and shouted to Alton who was standing in the distance: "Brother Alton, I want you to help me with something."
Provence is just a small gangster. Relying on some friendships with the third master of the Heihe Gang in his early years, he attracted a lot of people and started the street business. The Heihe Gang looked at the face of the third master and gave him three streets. However, he doesn't know how to operate, and his staff are mixed, and he has made his debut together for so many years. They are already rich and powerful. He is the only one who stares at the umbrella and collects protection fees for a living. Everyone lives in a wide mansion, but the den in Provence has only one dilapidated bar. He seized this bar by accident.
Alton stood at the door: "It's here." After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Luo, if you need any underworld support, I can introduce you to some powerful gangs. Please believe me, this Provence. Kind of people. Definitely, success is not enough to fail."
Luo Qian laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Alton, I believe your judgment, and I have the same judgment as you. But this time, only Provence can do it well." Leighton said no more, and reached out and opened the door for him.
In the dimly lit bar, there are only a few people sitting, the music is very decadent, and the instruments are obviously not from the earth. Some guests came, but there was no reception. Alton was a little annoyed. He stamped his foot and shook the house: "Provence. I'm Alton, talk to you about something." His voice was sent out, and the whole bar, including the houses behind it, could be heard clearly.
With a bang, the originally decadent people who were sitting stood up alertly. These people, Luo Qian, were familiar with him, and he had basically seen them that day. A narrow door of a small room opened, Provence walked out disheveled, and between the opening and closing of the door, a woman screamed. Alton glanced at his mouth with a sneer, and said in a low voice: "It's the slave girl of the planet Mars again. Provence can only play this kind of stuff."
"Alton!" Provence was obviously upset because some activities were interrupted: "I have given you face, and you even came to the door. I really thought I was a soft foot for anyone in Provence. Shrimp!" Alton was very disgusted with him in his heart, too lazy to say to him: "It's not that I'm looking for you." Then he took a step back.
Luo Qian stepped forward and smiled: "Mr. Provence, I'm here to discuss a business with you." Provence snorted, "What business? I do business without capital." "I don't need your capital." Luo Qian said: "Actually, what I want you to do is very simple. As long as you order your subordinates to spread some brief messages on the Rhino Sky Sage Collection, you can get a thousand high-grade holy stones."
Provence raised his eyebrows: "You iron cock, would you be so generous?" Luo Qian smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry about so much, just say whether you want to do it or not." "Yes, of course I do. My brothers used to do it. Only when I have money to take it, just move my mouth now, why not do it. However, I can't believe you, iron cock, I have to get the money first." Luo Qian smiled slightly, "No problem."
A few days later, rumors began on the Xitian Shengji that the new furniture of the heretical furniture store is not only easy to use, but also fashionable. It has replaced the previous postmodern style furniture and has become the home of the Xitian Shengji. New favorite. That's all high-end consumption, one piece of 3,000 high-grade holy stones.
The so-called three people become tigers, Luo Qian saw many such things when he was in the lower realm. Those so-called fashions are not spontaneous fashions of trendy men and women, but are guided by others. A well-known designer, after receiving instructions from the manufacturer, frequently announced in radio magazines that what color and what style will be popular this year. The media that received the benefits naturally followed the advocacy, so a tide formed. If you do not follow, it means that you are not a fashionista. In fact, manufacturers have already stockpiled a large amount of goods, counting money and cramping in the panic buying.
Provence may not do business in the underworld, but there is no problem spreading rumors. He is all punks and he is best at doing this kind of things. If, as Alton said, seek help from a powerful gang, first of all, Luo Qian may not be able to afford the price, and secondly, people are not willing to do such things.
On the fifth day after the rumors began to spread on the Xitian Shengji, the heresy furniture store finally opened its doors. A chubby middle-aged man, holding a slender and coquettish beautiful girl, bought four pieces of furniture at once. With 12,000 high-grade sacred stones, the investment of the entire point has almost been recovered by half!
Luo Qian also smiled with joy: Just like the lower realm is catching up with the trend, those who catch up will always be consumers and will not reach the realm of masters, because they are always following others, and they are afraid that others will say they can't keep up. The real masters are those who stand alone in the trend. But Luo Qian likes the former kind of people, because this kind of talent is the main force of consumption, just like the fat man. However, Luo Qian believed that the decisive factor was the woman beside him who made people look unpleasant.
Because of this rumor, those who have just made some achievements in the Xitian Sacred Collection and are eager to become "identity and status" people must come to patronize the heretical furniture store. It's like during the British Industrial Revolution, those emerging capitalists desperately wanted to squeeze into the upper-class social circle.
Not only Wei Shandong appreciates Luo Qian's method very much, but Alton also sincerely admires it. Novel furniture that no one cared about in the past suddenly became in demand. Although no one with real identity has come to buy it yet, Luo Qian believes that the momentum of this trend has been formed, and it only needs a catalyst to reach the height of the rumors.
This catalyst is the "star effect." The dresses of the stars published in fashion magazines are easy to imitate by fans. If there is a person with identity on the Xitian Shengji who uses Luo Qian's furniture at home, he will obviously be followed by others. This is the ultimate catalyst.
It’s just that this person is not easy to find. Luo Qian originally planned to ask Randy for help, but Alton told him that although Randy is rich, he is not considered a person with status in the Rhino Sky Sacred Collection. Still the kind of people who want to join the group of "identifiable people".
This left Luo Qian out of ideas for a while~EbookFREE.me~ He only knew Randy on the sacred collection of Xitian.
But the two are not in a hurry. At present, the furniture store has sold more than 20 pieces of furniture and made tens of thousands of top-grade holy stones. The cost has already been recovered, and Wei Shan's heart is at ease.
The furniture in the Netherworld is well designed and has a lot of humanity. These things Luo Qian bought are among the best. All buyers have received rave reviews. This has also contributed to the rumors. After all, no matter who spends thousands of high-grade holy stones to buy, they will not say that what they have bought is not good. Doesn't it prove that they are a fool?
As a result, more and more people are curious, even if they don't have to buy, they will come to the store to see what is good about these furniture. Luo Qian's business is also different from other merchants. It is said that such expensive luxury products cannot be tried at will, but Luo Qian allows customers to try it at will. Bed, please go up and lie down; chair, please go up and sit down; sofa, desk, footstool, you may wish to try it yourself.
The heretical furniture store is gradually booming, but the other group of people are not very happy.
Thirteen people sat together again, the gloomy faces of Chapter 13. "Unexpectedly, these gang of clowns are still working, it seems that we still underestimate the enemy."
