Chapter 1,748 The sales method needs to be changed
Zhu Yunye glanced at the desk and asked with concern, "What? Are you still studying the topic?"
The queen's face suddenly turned red, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito's and she said, "Is your concubine, your Majesty, stupid?"
Zhu Yunye was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that he was being lectured by his mother again?
He smiled and comforted, "Don't worry about what the Queen Mother said, let alone you. Back then, I was often scolded in front of the Queen Mother because I couldn't learn mathematics."
"Your Majesty, is what you said true?" Wu raised her head and looked at Zhu Yunye expectantly.
Zhu Yunye nodded vigorously, and then said with a smile, "My mother's talent in mathematics is so high that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can match it. Many things that my mother thinks are commonplace are as difficult as climbing to the sky for us. My mother's mathematics is still very good."
Duke Zhen Guo taught me, but Duke Zhen Guo has long been no match for my mother in mathematics. If Duke Zhen Guo is like this, why do you need to compare with your mother?"
After being comforted by Zhu Yunye, the queen felt much better and timidly raised her head to look at Zhu Yunye.
"Um"
Zhu Yunye sighed slightly in his heart. Originally, he wanted the queen to manage the bank well, but now he looked like she was under great pressure and the words were not spoken out in the end.
The next morning.
Sun Xian hurriedly came to the house to find Han Du.
Han Du got the news and quickly came to the front hall.
"You are looking for me so urgently. Did something happen at the workshop?"
Sun Xian was drinking tea when he heard the sound and quickly raised his head, almost burning him.
Han Du stretched out his hand with a smile and sat down slowly, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"Ahem." Sun Xian lowered his head and smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that his husband came when he had swallowed half of the tea.
"It's a good thing that you are relieved, sir. The treadle sewing machine is almost ready. I wonder when you will start selling it?"
Han Du paused as he stretched out his hand towards the tea cup, "Oh? It's almost done so quickly? How many have been done in total now?"
Sun Xian coughed and replied, "Ten thousand units have been made, and they are still being made continuously."
This can indeed be sold. If the sewing machines are not sold and there is too much backlog, it will be a great bad thing for the workshop.
But Han Du thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It can be sold."
"Okay, the student will start preparations when he gets back." Sun Xian nodded with a smile. This was the purpose of his coming today, and now he is completely relieved.
"But" Han Du pondered.
Sun Xian was stunned for a moment and asked Han Du politely, "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
Han Du said with a smile, "Although pedal sewing machines are good, if you want to sell them well, you still have to
It needs to be promoted carefully.”
"Propaganda?" Sun Xian lost his voice and looked at Han Du with doubts and confusion.
Han Du nodded slowly and explained patiently, "The aroma of wine is also afraid of the alley. No matter how good the product is, if we don't publicize it well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to welcome it."
Sun Xian forced a smile and said, "Sir, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about this, right? Pedal sewing machines are getting a lot of attention right now."
"I know." Han Du nodded with a smile on his face, "But it's not enough."
Sun Xian suddenly frowned, paused and asked, "Then, sir, what else do you think should be done? What is enough?"
Han Du looked Sun Xian up and down.
Sun Xian felt an inexplicable pressure from his husband. He immediately shrank his hands and lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you looking at me, sir?"
"Have you ever been married?" Han Du said with a smile.
Although Sun Xian was very surprised that this had anything to do with whether he was married or not, he still nodded honestly, "Of course, the students have already been married."
Han Du said happily, "Do you need three matchmakers and six betrothals to get married?"
"Of course it is. Who doesn't want three matchmakers and six beauties to get married?" Sun Xian nodded thoughtfully.
Han Du involuntarily tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly, "You said, let's find a way to add a pedal sewing machine to the betrothal gift. In this way, whenever someone gets married, we can sell one. You said, the entire Ming Dynasty
How many people get married every day?”
Sun Xian was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly, and asked hesitantly, "In this case, the pedal sewing machine will definitely be sold. However, these betrothal gifts are fixed things, how can I add the pedal sewing machine to it?"
Han Du calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smacked it. "The betrothal gift is fixed, so is the dowry fixed?"
"That's not true." Sun Xian quickly replied, "The dowry depends on the bride's family, as long as it is a little excessive. As for people who want to give more dowries, no one will stop them. Although the red dowry is not common, it does exist.
"
"Is this going to end soon? Just follow this direction to publicize it and mobilize all those storytellers. Whether they make it up themselves or hear it from elsewhere. In a word, there must be feet in the dowry.
The idea of sewing machines is engraved in people's minds." Han Du said with a relaxed expression.
But Sun Xian felt that it was not easy at all to accomplish this. He forced a smile and asked hesitantly, "Sir, I'm afraid this won't be possible in a short time, right?"
Handu speaks very fast
He smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to do this right away, but you have to do it from now on."
"Okay." Since time is not urgent, Sun Xian agreed first. Anyway, just do what the teacher said. As for the effect, we will wait and see.
Han Du added, "This knowledge cannot be achieved by just relying on yourself and the workshop."
Sun Xian was stunned and asked in confusion, "Since you know that the students can't do it, why do you still let the students do it?"
Han Du said angrily and funny, "You can't do it by yourself, but if you unite the businessmen who buy pedal sewing machines, can you do it?"
"Unite them?" Sun Xian lowered his head and pondered, thinking about countermeasures.
When Han Du saw this, he waved his hand neatly and said, "Forget it, let's do this. You gather those businessmen together and I'll talk to them."
"Yes." Sun Xian stopped thinking hard. His interest was in machinery manufacturing, and he was indeed not very interested in selling these things.
The reason why I manage the workshop is because I have no choice but to drive the ducks to the shelves.
After Sun Xian returned from Handu, he arranged for people to notify the merchants who had paid the deposit to come and pick up the goods.
Early the next morning, businessmen who received the news gathered in the treadle sewing machine workshop.
When Sun Xian came out, a large group of businessmen stood up to greet him.
"Hello Mr. Sun"
"Nice to meet Mr. Sun"
Sun Xian nodded as he walked, came to the middle and pressed his hands, and the room suddenly became quiet.
"Everyone, I know you all want to take the pedal sewing machine away immediately, but"
Hearing Sun Xian's words, the expressions of the businessmen suddenly changed.
Before Sun Xian could finish speaking, someone couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Sun, why is this happening? We paid in advance, is the workshop going to regret it?"
Wow
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the merchants became excited. They had long been looking forward to taking away the pedal sewing machine and preparing to sell it immediately.
Everything is ready. If the workshop regrets now, wouldn't they lose everything?
"Everyone!" Seeing the crowd's discussion getting louder and louder, Sun Xian shouted quickly.
The businessmen suddenly stopped talking and looked at Sun Xian who was standing above.
Sun Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile very fast, "Don't worry, everyone, the workshop will not regret it. You can take away the pedal sewing machine today."
After hearing this, all the businessmen breathed a sigh of relief. Smiles appeared on their faces again, and they cupped their hands towards Sun Xian and said, "Mr. Sun, just now."
I have offended you so much, so please forgive me."
"Haihan Haihan"
Sun Xian didn't care and continued, "However, before you take away the pedal sewing machine, the Duke of Zhen has some things he wants to tell you in person."
"My father-in-law is here in person? It's an honor for us." Several businessmen quickly replied with a smile.
Han Du came out from behind.
When everyone saw it, they hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Meet the Lord."
Han Du walked to the chair in the middle and sat down. He laughed and said, "You are all the parents of the workshop. Please excuse yourself."
"Thank you, sir." This sentence simply touched the hearts of all the businessmen, and they were all so excited that they could not contain themselves.
He quickly praised, "I don't dare, I don't dare, I can't afford to be praised like this by my father-in-law."
As a businessman, their status in the Ming Dynasty was very different from that of the Duke of Zhen. If they accepted Han Du's words sarcastically, it would be an offense to them.
Maybe the Duke of Zhen Guo wouldn't care, but that's their fault.
Han Du paused and waved his hand, "Everyone, please take your seats."
"Yes." The businessmen sat down carefully. Everyone only dared to touch the chair with their buttocks, and no one dared to sit down completely.
When Han Du saw it, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I came to you today just to discuss it. Everyone, please be casual."
"Thank you, Duke Zhen." Seeing Han Du's insistence, the businessmen realized that what he said was true and felt slightly relieved.
Han Du then got to the point and said, "I came to you this time mainly because I want to discuss with you the sale of pedal sewing machines."
The businessmen listened and couldn't help but look at each other.
"Logically speaking, the workshop sells pedal sewing machines to you. How you sell them is your business, and the workshop cannot interfere."
This sentence made the businessmen's minds slowly relax again.
"I know, you must be preparing to sell the pedal sewing machine at a higher price now, right? Even, not just a little bit more, but double or several times?"
Han Du paused as he spoke, his smiling eyes scanning everyone's faces.
Faced with the gaze of Duke Zhen Guo, a businessman boldly asked, "What the Duke said is true, but we are in business after all, we have to make money, right?"
"Yes, yes." Others nodded in agreement, and they noticed something strange in the father-in-law's tone.
It seems that the father-in-law doesn’t want them to make money! How is this allowed?
They are businessmen, and they buy pedal sewing machines just to make money, not to do labor.
