Chapter 291: Coming to cause trouble?
In early September, the weather has started to turn cooler.
One morning, the warm sunshine filled the square of the small county town.
In a corner of the square, Liang Yuting and Guan Youshuang were busy setting up their stall.
They chose a conspicuous location and spread a bright red plastic sheet, which was filled with all kinds of school supplies: on the left were rows of neatly arranged exercise books, homework books and notebooks, with various cartoon patterns printed on the covers.
In the middle are various pencil cases, made of tin, plastic, and cloth, with bright colors and rich patterns.
On the right are various learning tools such as pencils, pens, erasers, rulers and compasses, neatly arranged by category. Each one is beautifully packaged and looks very attractive.
In a corner of the stall, Guan Youshuang specially placed a blackboard with the words "Back to school specials, welcome to Liang Yuting Stationery Store" written on it in colored chalk. There were also a few cute cartoon characters drawn next to it, which was vivid and interesting and attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"Okay Yuting, go to the roadside and hand out flyers, I'll do the shouting."
"Okay." Liang Yuting picked up a stack of flyers and left. The flyers detailed the address of Liang Yuting Stationery Store, its main products, and special offers during the school term.
Guan Youshuang held a loud speaker and started shouting: "Don't miss it if you pass by. Various notebooks and stationery are on sale for the start of the school year. Everyone is welcome to come and buy them. Buy three notebooks and get one free. Buy five pencils and get two free. Triangles, rulers and protractors are all only 9 cents. You can't get hurt by buying them for 9 cents, and you can't get cheated by buying them for 9 cents..."
Gradually, more and more people came to the square, and some adults and children gathered around.
"Wow, what a beautiful book, I want this."
“Is this a steel ruler?”
"There is also a pencil sharpener like this. It's so beautiful. I've never seen one before."
“Is this also buy two get one free?”
The children were happily choosing their favorite stationery, while the parents were seriously asking about the price and quality.
"My son wants to buy a fountain pen. Will the nib break?" asked a mother with pigtails.
"You can choose with confidence. If the pen breaks within a month, we will replace it. Our store is right next to No. 1 Middle School."
"Ah? Can it be changed?"
The others were also stunned. They had never heard of buying something and exchanging it after a month.
Guan Youshuang said loudly again: "As long as it is not damaged by human factors, all stationery can be replaced. For example, if the blade of a pencil sharpener is not sharp and can no longer be sharpened, it can also be replaced. If the spring of a ballpoint pen is broken, you can also go to the store to get it for free."
"And today, no matter what stationery you buy, you can get five free ballpoint pen refills in your choice of colour."
As she spoke, Guan Youshuang placed several boxes of ballpoint pen refills at the back of the stall in front of everyone.
"No way, if I only buy a pencil, will it be given for free?" a woman asked.
"Send them all."
"This is such a good deal. How much is this ballpoint pen?" she asked, picking up the ten-color ballpoint pen.
"5 cents."
"Huh? Only 5 cents, other stores sell it for yuan."
"Yes, the stationery here is indeed much cheaper than other stores. I will buy more for my daughter."
"I'll buy it too."
Everyone rushed to start choosing, and because of the buy-one-get-one-free promotions and bundled sales, many people soon had several items of stationery in their hands.
"Do you still have those big-headed doll notebooks? I want to buy a few too." asked an old man.
"Let me take a look," Guan Youshuang opened the cardboard box beside her and took out all the other stationery. "The notebooks are all here."
"Hey, there is also this one. Can I change to this one?" a little girl asked, pointing to a literary-style soft-cover notebook.
"sure."
"Well, do you want to pay more money?" This notebook obviously looks thicker.
Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "No need, I'll give it to you."
Just like that, in just two hours, their goods were sold out, and some people rushed here.
Guan Youshuang closed the stall and said, "I'm sorry, we've sold out all the stuff. If you want to buy anything, you can go to our store, which is in No. 1 Middle School."
"Oh, by the way, there are still some cards that I forgot to give out." Guan Youshuang quickly took out some poker-sized colorful hard cards from her bag, "You can give these cards to your relatives and friends. If they come to our store to shop with the cards, in addition to giving them discounts, we will also give everyone a stationery worth less than 2 yuan."
"Wow! That's great. Give me one. I want to give it to my good friend right away."
"But how do you tell who gave you the card?" asked a girl.
"People with cards come to the store, we will register them, and you just need to come over then."
"Great, can you give me a few more?"
Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "We have fewer cards this time, so each person can only take one. But don't worry, when you come to the store to buy next time, we will give you the biggest discount."
After everyone left, Liang Yuting and Guan Youshuang rolled up the plastic sheet.
"Youshuang, don't squat, watch out for your stomach, I'll do the rolling. You're so good, we sold them all in a short while."
"It's not that I'm great, it's that our products are of good quality and low price."
Wang Long, the owner of a stationery store across the square, was resentful as he saw that his store was deserted.
Seeing that those who were buying things were leaving one after another, he crossed the road and walked quickly to Guan Youshuang and the others' stall, with all the fat on his face moving.
"Hey, you two."
Guan Youshuang raised her eyelids and looked at him, "Who are you?"
Wang Long said fiercely: "You second-hand dealers, who told you to set up a stall here?"
"Is this yours?"
"You are setting up illegal stalls here, affecting the business of our regular store, and you still think you are right?"
Guan Youshuang said slowly, "First, we have obtained approval from the Plaza Management Office to set up our stall. Second, we are just doing a temporary promotion to make it easier for parents and children to buy stationery. How can it affect your business?"
Wang Long snorted coldly: "I think you are disrupting the market order! Your low-price promotions are destroying the jobs of our shops!"
"First of all, our prices are all reasonable. If you raise the prices of stationery arbitrarily, you should first check your conscience and see if your things are worth the price. Besides, customers have the right to choose. They will naturally buy from where it is convenient and affordable. I think you should think about how to improve your service and quality."
Guan Youshuang glanced at him and said, "Instead of looking for trouble here like a mad dog."
"You stinky bitch, who the hell are you scolding? I tried to persuade you with kind words, but you are so ignorant. You don't want to drink the toast, so you have to drink the forfeit wine, right? I'm warning you..."
Before Wang Long could finish his words, he fell backwards with a scream.
