Chapter 121
After seeing off the three foreigners.
People from the tour group arrived unexpectedly.
Some foreigners were attracted by the sculpture being carved and stood there quietly admiring a carver completing his work.
Li Cunxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and it was much better to use more tricks to attract people than shouting.
In the future, on-site ramen noodles, Indian flying pancakes, and food delivery from the air will all be based on this principle.
Everyone watched with great interest and exchanged words from time to time.
Li Cunxi heard them speaking French, so he also said in French: "Dear guests from France, are you interested in listening to me tell some allusions about the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Your accent is perfect. Have you ever lived in France?"
It seems like everyone in France asks him this question.
In fact, it is understandable that in a foreign country, if there is a foreigner who can speak his hometown dialect, his favorability will immediately increase.
"Of course, I miss the banks of the Seine in Paris, it's so beautiful..."
Li Cunxi did not hesitate to praise him, making everyone smile.
He also followed the trend and entered the theme, and began to introduce these carvings, historical allusions, and if there were allusions, he would reprocess them and explain them vividly.
If there are no allusions, then he will make them up and make up beautiful love stories to make these self-proclaimed romantic foreigners moved.
Don’t underestimate these stories, they can add some added humanistic value to these carvings, which is exactly what foreigners who like crafts value.
It seems that the story is almost finished.
Li Cunxi brought the topic to wood carving again. In fact, he knew only a little about wood carving, but that didn't stop him from making up random things to highlight the preciousness of this Dragon Kingdom skill.
Soon, someone took the bait and took the initiative to ask for a price.
Li Cunxi was not in a hurry to give a price, and began to make up the identity of the short-haired young man. Which great master he studied under, how young he was, and how his future works would definitely increase in value.
Anyway, it's just a lie.
Finally it felt like the heat was almost there.
He said in one breath: "Landscape screen, the craftsmanship is complicated, five to seven hundred foreign exchange coupons, figure portraits, relatively simple, the price is six hundred, and other small ornaments, three hundred to two hundred foreign exchange coupons."
"The price doesn't seem cheap, can you give me a discount?"
A foreigner bargains.
Li Cunxi smiled and said: "I don't think you should care too much about the price. We in the Dragon Kingdom are all about fate. If you think you have a affinity, you can spend money to buy it. If you don't have a affinity, you don't have to buy it. Don't force anything. "
In fact, translated, it means don't bargain, buy if you like it, don't buy if you don't like it.
But Li Cunxi's statement made people feel extremely comfortable and made this transaction less smelly.
Just when everyone was feeling regretful that they could not afford the expenses.
Li Cunxi went back on his word again: "Of course, if you can bring our Dragon Kingdom wood carvings abroad, it is also a publicity for our art, so I am willing to give a [-]% discount to thank you for your support."
One tin is available at half price.
These Frenchmen could stand no longer.
A big man pointed to a Bodhisattva statue and said, "I want her."
"three hundred."
"Give."
"I want this old man who means longevity."
"I want this Sun Dasheng who can't fall in love with Zixia."
"I want this green cow that was sacrificed for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
People gathered around the stall, grabbing the few wood carvings.
The short-haired young man stopped carving and watched Li Cunxi collecting the money blankly.
The hundred-yuan bills were like sharp knives, piercing his heart.
After a while, the crowd dispersed.
The goods on the stalls are also very good.
Li Cunxi counted the banknotes and sold 300 yuan in foreign exchange coupons. After deducting the 1000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons for the goods, he made a net profit of 8000 yuan.
"Brother, can you give me some more money, otherwise I will feel unhappy."
The short-haired young man's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.
If he had known that these wood carvings were sold for such a high price, I would not have sold them to Li Cunxi even if I killed him.
"can."
Li Cunxi nodded.
"Thank you. I'm not greedy for more. Just give me half."
The short-haired young man stretched out his hand.
Li Cunxi took out five cents from his pocket and put it in his hand: "Buy a popsicle to cool down the anger. I will also give you the remaining wood carvings as compensation. I have something else to do, so I won't keep it."
Say it.
He walked away quickly with his canvas bag in hand.
The short-haired young man looked at the three remaining wooden pigs and felt that he was one of them.
"I'm dead."
He banged his head against the wall.
The old man who was watching the excitement rushed over to stop him.
"Xiao Qi, it's your blessing that Boss Li can give you some advice. Why can't you think about it?"
The old man pushed the person down on the seat and whispered relief.
The short-haired young man looked at the old man: "Do you know the grandson who extorted my money?"
"Why don't you know? Boss Li takes half of the credit for Xiushui Street to be what it is today."
The old man began to recall the past, from Li Cunxi selling fruit to selling clothes, and told him everything.
"Uncle, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have lost 1 yuan."
The short-haired young man felt even more regretful.
If he had known that Li Cunxi was so awesome, he would have believed that the wood carvings could be sold for several thousand yuan, not just for a few hundred yuan, so he wouldn't have sold the treasure cheaply.
"Don't be upset, kid. Boss Li can sell your goods only because he can speak foreign languages and do business. You would definitely not be able to open a business."
The old man said a word and the short-haired young man stopped making trouble.
"You're right. Boss Li is a god. I can't compare with others. I sold the goods for 300 yuan, so I should be satisfied."
The short-haired young man talked to himself, seeming to be mentally building himself up.
Shopping around Xiushui Street.
Li Cunxi promoted three stalls in total. The people who bought the stalls were all old stall owners. They had earned thousands of dollars from doing business with Li Cunxi. They trusted Li Cunxi very much, so they were willing to pay for the stalls.
After lunch.
Li Cunxi took [-] and went straight to the Fifth Garment Factory, paid the balance, and used a tricycle to pull the clothes back. Then he, Huang Yan, and Wu Lei spent half a day sorting the [-] pieces of clothes into categories.
There are [-] pieces of silk among them, which is a little surprise.
Got the goods.
The only thing left is how to sell them. After all, the color matching of these clothes is indeed contrary to the mainstream aesthetic.
"Brother Xie, this dress looks like a hen's. Is there any woman who can buy it?"
Huang Yan is pessimistic about the sales of this batch of clothes.
Li Cunxi looked at Wu Lei: "What do you think?"
"It doesn't look good."
Wu Lei told the truth.
Li Cunxi muttered: "Let's sell it first and see if it works. If it doesn't work, we can distribute it cheaply."
All in all, the price is cheap. When the industry chain matures in the future, a pure cotton bat shirt will not cost less than eight yuan, so there is no rush to sell this piece of clothing.
Moreover, he also has a general marketing concept on how to sell clothes.
"Okay, I won't go out tonight, so everyone should go to bed early."
Li Cunxi took a silk dress for his wife and hurried home.
Back home, it's three o'clock.
Bai Maowen is the only one watching TV at home.
Li Cunxi didn't want to talk to the other party and walked directly into the house.
But within a minute, Bai Maowen also walked in, threw the two big dough sticks on the bed, and said in a commanding tone: "Give me one stall at Xidan Night Market. This is the money to buy the stall. No need to change."
