Li Ya looked at the overly familiar young man with a calm expression, her delicate face showing no emotion.
"Sorry, I don't know you!"
With that, she walked past Qin Chuan, lifted the bento box she had bought, and enthusiastically called out to her two subordinates.
"Chun Tao, Xiao Li, time to eat!"
"Wow, the boss is so nice!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Chun Tao and Xiao Li's flattery was endless as they excitedly took the bento boxes and then found a small dining table from a corner, deftly arranging the dishes.
"Boss, you eat first!"
Li Ya didn't stand on ceremony, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat her bento box with relish. Her movements were elegant and natural, clearly indicating good upbringing.
However, Li Ya soon frowned slightly, losing her appetite, because the young man she had already rejected had actually come over again.
And he was still acting shamelessly, completely disregarding what others thought.
"Boss, I really mean no harm. You just need to give me two minutes. After two minutes, if you still want to drive me away, I will never pester you again!"
Qin Chuan said. He had naturally noticed Li Ya's displeasure, but what was a thick skin to him?
In the face of money, everything had to yield!
In his previous life, when he was just starting out, Qin Chuan had done all sorts of jobs like sales, waitstaff, and labor to make money. He had endured countless disdainful glances from others and had long grown accustomed to it.
Li Ya frowned in silence, but Qin Chuan seized the opportunity to continue speaking.
"Sister, here's the situation. I'm a salesman. I passed by your stall earlier and noticed business wasn't good..."
Qin Chuan displayed his silver tongue, perfectly embodying the talents of a qualified salesman. He spoke fluently and without pause, even subtly changing his address.
"I think it's a great idea for you to sell summer clothes in winter. The reason business isn't good is entirely due to the sales method!"
"And I now have a good method to help you sell these clothes quickly!"
"If the clothes don't sell, I won't charge a single cent!"
"This is absolutely a win-win situation for you!"
"And I can also make a little money. You have the goods, I have the sales method, we are absolutely perfect partners!"
Li Ya, who had remained cold, gradually showed a hint of expression.
She finally looked at Qin Chuan directly: "So you want to help me sell clothes. What good method do you have?"
Li Ya was indeed the boss of the Butterfly Clothing Factory, but she had inherited it from her father. Two years ago, due to an accident her father had, she was forced to take over the family business.
However, perhaps due to her youth, she was tricked last year, and a lot of clothes accumulated in the factory.
How to deal with the factory's accumulated inventory was Li Ya's biggest headache!
This batch of goods was not small, and now that the factory was facing difficulties and urgently needed to recover capital, Li Ya had to clear the inventory as quickly as possible.
Li Ya had actually placed great hopes on this exhibition, but reality had dealt her another heavy blow. Even though the prices were already very low, not many people were buying.
"Sister, does this mean you agree?"
Qin Chuan showed an excited expression.
"You have to tell me your method first and let me see how likely it is to succeed!"
Li Ya said.
"Sister, you're making it difficult for me!"
Qin Chuan showed a troubled expression: "I make my living from this, it's a commercial secret. If I tell you and you turn around and break your word, I'm afraid I'll cry myself to death!"
Li Ya's delicate face immediately showed a frosty expression, her gaze fixed on Qin Chuan: "Are you doubting my integrity, Li Ya?"
"Although I am a woman, Li Ya has always acted with integrity and disdains doing such despicable things!"
"Let alone one idea of yours, even tens of thousands of yuan placed in front of me, if it's not mine, I will absolutely remain unmoved!"
Qin Chuan muttered silently in his heart: "Unmoved by tens of thousands of yuan, what about hundreds of thousands? Millions? The human heart is the most unfathomable!"
However, despite his inner thoughts, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister! This is purely a professional habit, please don't mind!"
"Actually, it's very simple. It's because you haven't let the common people feel the real benefits!"
"Real benefits? What do you mean?"
Li Ya frowned. Chun Tao and Xiao Li on the side also pricked up their ears, listening quietly. They wanted to see what trick this fellow had up his sleeve.
Qin Chuan pointed to the clothes hanging on the racks around them: "It's obvious. Anyone can see that these summer clothes are last year's styles and inventory."
"Let me ask you, if you were to buy, wouldn't you think it's natural for them to be cheap?"
Li Ya was taken aback, then nodded. This seemed correct!
They were last year's styles, and they were inventory, so they should naturally be cheap.
"But I've already lowered the prices very low. For example, this shirt sold for fifteen last year, and now I'm only selling it for thirteen!"
Li Ya said with a slight agitation.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "This is the problem. What is considered cheap is not what you think, but what the common people feel is truly cheap, and then they will buy!"
"Only when people feel they are getting a real bargain will it ignite their purchasing desire!"
This was the first time Li Ya had heard such a viewpoint. She was stunned and kept muttering in her mind, finding it more and more profound with each chew. Her eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance.
"Interesting. Qin Chuan, based on these words alone, I believe you are a capable person!"
Li Ya finally looked at the casually dressed young man squarely. Upon closer inspection, she truly found an inexplicable aura about Qin Chuan.
How to describe it? He was dressed poorly, like he was from the countryside, yet he didn't have the timidity or inferiority complex of a country person. He only possessed a sense of calmness and confidence.
"Tell me, what should we do?"
Seeing that he had finally won over the beautiful boss, Qin Chuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and then slowly began to explain his plan.
The plan was actually very simple: to offer benefits that the public could see and obtain!
For example, giving away some oil, flour, salt, soap, detergent, etc., with clothing purchases. This would be much more effective than reducing the price by two or three yuan!
Don't underestimate these items. Which household wouldn't need them?
Of course, all of this was tiered. For instance, certain items would be given away for purchases exceeding a certain amount, with layers stacking up. This kind of marketing strategy was common in later generations, but rare in the current society!
"No way, we haven't even started selling clothes yet, and we have to spend a large sum of money to buy so many things?"
Chun Tao and Xiao Li, who were eavesdropping, looked incredulous upon hearing Qin Chuan's plan.
"What if no one buys it anyway?"
Qin Chuan showed a confident expression.
"There are no 'what ifs.' I guarantee that with my marketing methods, it will sell like hotcakes!"
"As for the upfront investment, how much can that rice, flour, oil, soap, salt, and detergent cost!"
"Moreover, the prices of the clothes are set by us. We can easily make adjustments to other clothes, and the cost of those basic necessities can be easily recouped!"
"As they say, the wool comes from the sheep's back. Our upfront investment is for better returns later!"
