Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall

In the early days of Xiushui Street, there were not many people.

Within half an hour after Li Cunxi took over the stall, only a few people passed by the street.

They also turned a blind eye to the apple stall.

On the other side, a blond man walked over with his hands behind his back.

He wanted to leave directly from the street, but he caught a glimpse of the English on the cardboard. He felt fresh and stopped to read it.

"Sir, our apples are of high quality. Would you like to buy some?"

Li Cunxi greeted the business in English.

The blond uncle refused without raising his head: "No, it is too expensive. I have lived in the Dragon Kingdom for five years and know that the price of an apple cannot exceed 3 cents. You sly Dragon Kingdom businessmen cannot fool me."

"Oh, sir, you look like a smart person. No one can deceive you."

Li Cunxi first slapped the foreigner with a rainbow fart, so that the foreigner would not leave immediately, and then continued to explain: "But you understand the truth, you get what you pay for. We sell it at this price, not because we think you foreign guests are spending too much, but because we are selling it at this price. It’s worth the price.”

The blond uncle was unmoved and continued to argue: "Haha, young man, the market has the final say whether it's worth the price, not your decision. As long as I walk 600 meters more, there will be someone who sells it for [-] cents a pound." The fruit stall, why should I buy it from you?"

"Sir, you can't believe what you say. Why don't you try our apples first, and then I'll tell you what makes them unique."

Li Cunxi gave Jin Wen a wink.

Jin Wen understood, picked up a piece of oil paper with cut apples on it from the trolley, and walked quickly to the blond uncle.

The blond man hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth.

Li Cunxi took the opportunity to say: "Taste it carefully. The acidity just makes you salivate, and then it is suppressed by the moderate sweetness. This is the advantage of our new variety. The perfect fusion of sweet and sour gives people the best feeling." Excellent taste experience.”

In fact, this is a psychological suggestion. Good apples are all sour and sweet, and they are almost the same. There is no difference.

Once a person accepts a certain hint, when he tastes it, he will unconsciously think about the differences between the apples he eats and other apples.

"Yes, your apples taste better, but whether this improvement in taste is worth paying more for is debatable."

The blond man nodded, but still refused to let go.

"Sir, we have spent many years cultivating this breed."

"You said it is expensive, but in fact it is not. Our leader originally priced it at 1.3 yuan per pound. I convinced him to lower the price in order to promote it on a small scale in front of foreign guests like you."

"If the feedback is good, we will grow it in large quantities and export it. If you want to buy it in the future, you have to go back to China to eat it. The price is definitely [-] cents per pound."

"I don't think you, a person who has very high demands on yourself, need to be stingy with a few cents and lower your quality of life."

Li Cunxi continued to sell hard.

When the blond uncle heard the last sentence, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, I pay great attention to the quality of life, and I don't want to lose this little money. Okay, you have convinced me. It does taste better. Give it to me." Come on, four pounds, I want to share the delicious food with my friends in the apartment.”

"Inscribed in gold, it weighs four pounds of apples."

Li Cunxi ordered with a smile.

"okay."

Jin Wen picked up the steelyard and quickly weighed the four pounds, tied them with oil paper and string, handed them to the blond uncle, and collected the money.

Wait for the foreigner to walk out of the street.

Jin Wen looked at Li Cunxi with admiration: "Brother Xi, you are too awesome. This foreigner looks like Lao Long Guotong at first glance, and you actually tricked him into buying four kilograms of high-priced apples."

"How can it be called cheating? That's because people recognize our Apple and are willing to spend money."

Li Cunxi sat down leisurely.

"That's right, these are apples grown in Pantaoyuan. Selling them to foreigners for a few cents is cheaper than them."

Jin Wen nodded repeatedly.

talking room.

Three more blondes arrived.

Li Cunxi continued to stand up and greet them, boasting that his own apples were not only delicious, but also beautiful, and praised the three blonde beauties for their good skin, and that they should supplement nutrition and maintain their charm.

The three blonde beauties in question were so elated that each of them bought two kilograms.

Gradually, when it’s time to get off work, more and more foreigners come to Xiushui Street to hang out.

Li Cunxi almost greeted each other and asked Jin Wen to hang a sign boasting the efficacy of apples. He asked him to take the cut apples and go to the main street to find foreigners to taste them, in order to attract business.

soon.

There was actually a queue at the two-person apple stall, and the queues were all filled with foreigners.

This immediately made people in other stalls look stupid.

The old man selling popsicles scratched his head and complained to the man selling melon seeds at the stall: "Hey, this foreigner has never eaten an apple in his life, so why is he waiting in line?"

"Who knows, on the main street, there are three apple sellers riding bicycles back and forth, but they didn't steal the business from the fruit stall hidden in the street. If you said this, if we didn't see it with our own eyes, who would believe it?"

Selling melon seeds also sounded sour in his tone.

Squeak.

The man selling candied haws on a haws stopped the car and pointed at Li Cunxi: "Have you seen that handsome boy? He speaks a foreign language very fluently, and he even makes those foreign ladies giggle. If you have such eloquence, And appearance, let alone apples, even if they sell dirt, foreigners will pay the bill."

"Okay, it seems we have to learn some foreign languages ​​too."

"I'm here to buy and sell, no more chatting."

"I've also been visited by people."

Several people started working on their own again.

This is the fruit stall.

Li Cunxi continued to introduce Apple and told American humorous jokes from time to time, which made people in the queue burst into laughter.

After another half hour, the queue of people was not less, but more and more.

"Brother Xie, it's sold out."

Jin Wen whispered.

Li Cunxi nodded slightly and turned around with an apologetic expression: "Everyone was so enthusiastic that you bought all our apples. I apologize to those who didn't buy them, but we will still provide high-quality apples here tomorrow." Apple for everyone, welcome to visit again.”

"Damn it, I waited in line for so long and it's gone."

"Can anyone tell me how delicious this apple is and why everyone is queuing up?"

"Oh my god, I queued up to buy it after I saw you queuing up. Haven't you bought it before?"

"Sorry, I just saw the sign on the skinny boy's chest explaining how delicious this apple tastes, so I came to line up to try it."

"With so many people coming here, this apple is definitely outstanding. I will come again tomorrow."

The foreigners chatted with each other and walked to the other side of Xiushui Street, planning to visit other stalls.

"It's over."

Li Cunxi slumped on the chair.

Jin Wen hesitated for a moment, then asked a question that he had been hiding for two hours: "Brother Xi, why do you ask me to weigh and pack more slowly? Aren't you afraid that the foreigner will get impatient and leave?"

"Has the foreigner left?"

Li Cunxi asked back.

Jin Wen shook his head.

Not only did people not leave, but there were more and more people, so he was even more puzzled.

Li Cunxi explained: "I deliberately asked you to attract people and then slowly pack them, just to get those foreigners to gather and create the illusion of queuing. People have a herd mentality. When they see others queuing, they will become interested in the product. No. Feel free to join the queue."

In fact, this trick has been taken to the extreme by Internet celebrity restaurants in the 21st century. They use overwhelming publicity to attract people to check in, and deliberately slow down the meal delivery speed to make people queue up, creating a long-lasting popular scene.

"I see."

Jin Wen looked like he suddenly realized something.

In fact, he didn't understand it at all, but that didn't stop him from admiring Li Cunxi more and more.

It’s just a broken apple, but it’s so amazing that foreigners can queue up like they’re trying to get elixirs.

I guess if he told Lao Jin, Lao Jin wouldn't believe it.
