Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 18 Big deal

   "Bob, how many people have come to see the store these days?" Best stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the counter of his card repair shop, looking like a boss.

  Bob took out the account book and replied: "A few days before the opening, there were quite a lot of people, and many people brought the Ling card for repairs. It may have dropped a bit these days. There are not many people coming to the store, and there are not many people repairing the card."

   "No rush, no rush, we are a new shop, this situation is normal." Best comforted me gently, "Sane and I are both veterans of repairing cards, and the neighbors in the neighborhood must believe in our craftsmanship. Old Sam is gone, and little Sam's repairing card shop will close down sooner or later."

   "When I passed by this morning, I found that Little Sam's card repair shop had recruited a new card repairer, and also hired some deliverymen and chefs."

   "Haha, Little Duke is out of his wits, his business was taken away by me, and he recruited people generously. He will go bankrupt within two or three months!"

  However, another few days passed.

  Best looked at the empty card repair shop, and his face became more and more ugly: "Bob, both of you, father and son, go to see Little Sam's card repair shop. Is there no one there to repair the card? Why is there no one in the past few days!"

  Bob didn't want to go to Little Sam's Shuka's, he always felt awkward going there.

   But had to go.

  The father and son sneaked over to investigate, and then rushed back in shock: "Boss, something serious happened!"

"How to say?"

   "Little Duke led people to run all over the nearby streets and alleys, saying that he launched some door-to-door service, and took away all the spirit cards that everyone wanted to repair at home!"

  Best was shocked when he heard it: "Door-to-door service? All the spirit cards have been taken away? He, he, why should he!"

  Bob replied with a bitter face: "I went to several families and asked, and they said that they can also give the Ling card to our Best Shuka shop for repairs, but these people believe in Little Sam's Shuka shop... Boss, you know, Old Sam opened the shop when he was in Snake Town or Xiaofang City. The neighbors in the neighborhood are already used to Little Sam's Shuka shop."

  Snake Head Town was established during the pioneering war.

  Before the pioneering war was over, this place was a material distribution center, and then gradually evolved into a trading city. It was not until it was entrusted to the Black Snake family that the Snake Town was officially established.

   It can be said that before many people moved to Sheshou Town, the Little Sam Shuka shop already existed.

  How many years have passed, it has become a fixed choice for many people.

   "Damn it!" Best jumped anxiously, "You go now and bring all the apprentices with you. Little Duke runs from family to family, and you also run from family to family. Bring all the customers here!"

"this…"

   "Why, you don't want to?" Best said with a cold face.

  Bob hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I was afraid that the trip would be in vain. Little Duke has already received a spirit card."

   "Then let's prepare for the broken spirit card next time. At worst, we will charge less for the repair fee." Best paced back and forth in front of the counter, "You used to be the counter of Little Sam's card repair shop, and you are familiar with the neighbors in the neighborhood; and I am the card repairer of Little Sam's card repair shop. The quality of the repair card is guaranteed, so why can't you win customers!"

   "Then...the counter side..."

   "I'm watching at the counter, there are still a few customers coming over now!"

  Bob had no choice but to take a few apprentices with him, and started sweeping the streets in a hurry.

  …

   "Dutlan, send this slide card to No. 277 Drizzle Lane, Mr. Leaf's house. The maintenance bill is 1 silver dragon and 16 bronze dragons. Remember to ask Mr. Leaf to sign for confirmation."

  In Little Sam's card shop, Sally at the counter quickly wrapped a spirit card wrapped in a new cover.

  Dutlan, who was resting at the door, ran over immediately: "Leave it to me!"

  Just as Dutlan left, Mrs. Sally took out another spirit card and wrapped it up: "Steve, it's up to you to deliver this spirit card. Send this spirit card to No. 297 Second Vertical Street, Doupa Clothing Store, and just give the clerk the repair bill to sign for receipt."

   "Okay, Lisa." Steve stood up quickly.

  Duke, who stayed at the fourth station to study the scrapped Lingka, looked up at the busy shop assistants, and was very satisfied with the current pace of Little Sam's repair card shop.

   took Dutlan and Steve to sweep the streets for several days in a row.

   Not only stabilized the source of customers, but also made myself familiar with the neighbors in the neighborhood.

  Basically, after this trip to sweep the streets, the word-of-mouth accumulated by old Sam for many years will be smoothly transferred to himself. The quality and service of subsequent card repairs will continue to be maintained, and Duke will remain invincible.

   Word of mouth.

  In this era without advertisements, it has a huge impact on a store.

   "The most valuable thing old Sam left me was not the store, but this signboard. Best couldn't see this, so he hurriedly opened a new store, trying to cut me off."

  Duke didn't take Best seriously.

  Best has limited contacts and means, and normal competition is not his opponent at all.

   "However, I got a lot less money because Best made such a move." Duke thought with some regret.

  Originally, the small Sam repair card shop could earn as much as one Golden Dragon per month, but now, although the customer source has been stabilized, the high share has increased a lot of wages and expenses, and the net profit has dropped to less than half a Golden Dragon.

   "A spiritual plant with a ring 1 can cost dozens of golden dragons at every turn. Even a spiritual plant with a ring 0 can sort out the spiritual aura, and it needs several golden dragons..."

  Lingzhi is a commodity with a price but no market.

  Basically, they are monopolized by big families, and only a small amount will flow into the market, so the price is scary.

   "I am now practicing the "White Paper Meditation Method", and the speed of condensing the spiritual liquid is getting slower and slower. I must get a spiritual plant as soon as possible and arrange a spiritual aura in the small courtyard."

  I was thinking.

  A customer walked into the store and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Can you buy Ling cards here?"

  Sally replied immediately with a smile: "Yes, our store will go to Shenjiao City to purchase goods every week. If you have a spirit card that needs to be purchased on behalf of you, you can prepay the deposit and then hand it over to us for purchase."

   "Are you the boss?"

   "I'm not, our boss is there." Sally pointed to the repair area.

  The customer said directly: "I want to talk to your boss."

  When Duke came over, the customer couldn't help frowning: "You are the boss, and you are too young."

  "Young doesn't mean you're unreliable. Haven't asked for your name yet?" Duke didn't have the slightest stage fright. "We have a large number of purchasing agents at Little Sam's repair card shop, so we can sign a contract."

   "Really." The customer thought for a while, "My name is Ronnie."

   "Mr. Ronnie, please sit down here and talk."

  Sally brings tea, and Ronnie waits for her to leave.

   Only then did he tell the spirit cards that he needs to purchase on behalf of others: "I need ten arcane cards, including five ice pick cards, three magic hand cards, and two illusion cards... You must go to the United Card Store in Shenjiao City to buy these arcane cards. According to the market price, there are a total of 27 gold dragons, and I can provide half a gold dragon as a reward."

  Duke was both surprised and delighted. Ten arcane cards, worth 27 gold dragons, half a gold dragon, this is a big deal.

  However, he restrained his expression very well, only showing a hint of surprise appropriately.

  Ronnie stared at Duke's expression, a little surprised by Duke's calmness, and couldn't help adding: "Also, you can lower the price, and whatever you lower will be included in your compensation."

   It’s a new month, ask for a monthly pass, please follow up~
