Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1799 Disconnected again
I knew the woman must be lying, so I looked directly at the man and asked, "What's going on? Why did he leave?"

The man sighed and said, "Not yet..."

I asked, "What is it?"

The man glanced at the woman and replied, "What else could it be? It's not the fault of the money! He has no money, so he drove her away!" Then he refused to say anything.

I knew that things must not be that simple, so I asked again: "What's going on?"

Neither of them would say another word.

I kicked away the money the woman continued to pick up on the ground, pointed to the woman's nose and asked, "Did I give you face, be polite to you, you don't know who you are anymore? Before I finished speaking, I thought Want money? Ask you what to answer, don't forget, what is your identity?"

The woman said disdainfully: "What is my identity? Who are you threatening?"

I stepped on her hand and said, "What is your identity? You dare not call the police yourself, and you are afraid that I will call the police. What do you say is your identity? Why are you hiding from the police? Believe it or not, I will throw you in the police station right now." Go to the police station!"

The woman's complexion changed, and she said in a panic, "Throw it away, I'm not afraid of the police!"

The man sighed and said: "Don't be so stubborn, you haven't seen it yet, aren't they ordinary people? I've said it all, we can't afford to mess with those people. If you take their money, you should help them , so much money is enough to drink in our house for a year. He just wants to drink, has a place to live, and doesn’t have any excessive demands, so you can’t tolerate him here! He didn’t say anything, and didn’t talk to him. You just leave if you want money, and the only request is not to tell anyone his whereabouts! You can't even keep this request, you...you really went too far for money!"

The woman became angry all of a sudden, bared her teeth and shouted at the man: "Who is this for? It's not for you! I work on the construction site all day, and I'm always bullied. How much money can I make a day? I'm For our future! That man is an alcoholic, what does he know? As long as there is alcohol, he doesn’t care about other things? Someone comes to him, maybe it’s his family? It’s good for him!”

The man said angrily: "How is that possible? Since he doesn't want people to know about him, there must be his reasons. You are too greedy for money!"

The woman continued to yell at the man: "I am greedy for money? I am greedy for our family! Without me, you are still living in a construction shed! I gave myself to you, I gave you a home, I am just Asking for some money from a stranger, you don’t like it? You say I’m greedy for money! I’m not serving you anymore!” After finishing speaking, he had to go inside the house after picking up the money on the ground.

I pulled him back and said, "Want to leave? Can you leave? Let me ask you again, where are you? Where did you go?"

The woman was in pain, and wanted to push my hand away, begging for mercy: "You let go first, I say that's it!"

I let go of my hand, and the woman rubbed her arm and said, "One day, Xiaodongbei picked up a drunkard under the overpass, and he was unconscious! I was thinking about sending him to the hospital. I was afraid of accidents at first, so I asked him to take him to the hospital. Throw it out quickly, but a wad of money fell out of the alcoholic, at least tens of thousands of dollars, I thought about helping him keep it, so I left him! This alcoholic will not be sober for more than an hour a day , he doesn’t have any other requirements, just ask to buy him wine, and he doesn’t have to eat any food!”

The man said from the side: "He really doesn't do anything except drink and sleep! I also persuaded him to drink less, but he just didn't listen. Not only did he drink a lot, but he also drank quickly. Whether it is high alcohol or low alcohol, as long as it is alcohol! Once, when I came back from work, I forgot to buy wine for him. He was like crazy, desperately looking for wine to drink, and finally had no choice but to borrow it from downstairs. Give him a bottle of cooking wine!"

The woman continued: "We were also afraid that if he drank like this, he would drink himself to death sooner or later, and it would be troublesome if he died, so we talked about driving him out!"

The man immediately said: "You want to drive him out. I don't want to think about it. He is outside alone, and the money is taken away by you. He has no money to buy wine. How can he live? I have said it all, this will not work." , but you are still so cruel, you were kicked out in the middle of the night! They left without even asking for money, are you ashamed! I knew that sooner or later there would be retribution, and sooner or later someone would come to us , you deserve it! If you want to beat or die, you can do whatever you want, she has all the money!"

When the woman heard this, she immediately changed her face and said: "I have already spent all the money. I kicked him out. I did it for his own good. I don't want him to continue drinking like this! Without the money, he can't drink like this. Otherwise, you will drink to death sooner or later!"

Looking at this vicious woman, I wished I could go up and slap her a few times, but I still held back and said, "I'll fucking ask you, what about others now?"

The woman hurriedly replied: "I don't know, he left the night before yesterday!"

I continued to ask: "Which direction are you going? Did you say where you are going?"

The woman shook her head and said, "He didn't say anything!"

I said angrily: "He is penniless. You chased away a drunken alcoholic in the middle of the night? You still don't know where he is going? What's the difference between you and killing yourself for money?"

The man suddenly said: "I remembered, he seemed to say that he has a comrade-in-arms here, maybe he will go to find his comrade-in-arms!"

I hurriedly asked, "What's the name of his comrade-in-arms? Where does he live?"

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know where I live, it seems to be called Big Head!"

I patted the man on the shoulder and said, "You're a good guy. It's not that you can't find a woman. How can you find a wanted criminal to be your wife? This will kill you sooner or later!"

The woman hurriedly opened her teeth and waved her claws: "Who do you say is a wanted criminal? Don't spout blood!"

I snorted coldly and said: "Looking at you like this, I guessed it. You are probably a thief or a scammer. It is probably not a small matter! You, it is also against the law to cover up criminals, but you yourself Think clearly!"

The man looked at the woman and asked: "Is what he said true? I said, why don't you go to register with me? Why don't you go back to your hometown? You don't want to take the train or plane, so you are a wanted criminal!"

The woman immediately weakened and said: "Listen to me, don't listen to his nonsense, what does he know? I'm afraid of taking trains and planes! Get married? Don't we have no money? Get married so early..."

I'm not interested in hearing what they say anymore?Disappointed and walked downstairs.

The sounds of fighting were heard upstairs again.

We are at a stalemate again, and we don't know how to find Xiao Hei?There is only one comrade-in-arms nicknamed Datou, how can I find him?

In the absence of any solution, I had to ask Abao's father for help. After Abao finished the phone call, he said to me: "My father said, help us find Xiaohei's former comrades-in-arms immediately and see if there is anyone named Big guy, when you find it, send me the address!"

I had to exclaim in amazement: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it? There is information to check! When will there be news?"

A Bao shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything, he just told us to wait!"

I hummed and had to wait.

Back at the hotel, I suggested, "Why don't we buy some Shaoxing Huadiao and taste it? See if it's really that delicious?"

A Bao shook his head and said, "I can't drink with my body, my liver is not good, and my lungs are not good either!"

I frowned and said, "Is your body so poor at such a young age? You should exercise more!"

Abao said confidently: "Although my physique is not good, I am very talented in sports!"

It suddenly occurred to me that he grabbed the woman's neck with his backhand just now, which is indeed quite a professional fighting skill, so I asked, "Have you ever learned how to fight?"

Ah Bao nodded and said, "I have learned from Ah Zhong, and I have practiced together since I was a child! However, my Qi is always not enough, and I am prone to asthma, so I won't practice!"

I said with an oh: "Then have you seen your body in the hospital? Is there no way to remedy it?"

Ah Bao shook his head and said, "No way, I'm born weak and sickly!"

I hummed and said, "Then you can do too much strenuous exercise?"

Ah Bao hummed and said, "In principle, it is like this!"

I said helplessly: "It should still be possible to exercise, let's start with drinking!"

Ah Bao hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't want to be like my dad and your friend, becoming a drunkard!"

I smiled and said, "Then don't worry, I guess you'll never want to drink again after you've finished drinking with me today!"

Then, we went directly to the wine market, the street that sells wine, walked around, and finally stopped in front of a wine shop with the smallest brand but the most people buying wine. I was just curious, why his wine There are so many people who buy it, other houses are bigger than him, and the price is the same, so why do other houses have to queue up to buy, and other houses are swatting flies?

Finally it was my turn, and the boss asked politely, "What kind of flower carving do you want?"

I asked with a groan, "How many kinds are there?"

Although many people lined up, the boss still patiently introduced: "There are low-altitude flower carvings at 12°, and high-altitude flower carvings at a maximum of 35°. There are fine brews and steamed brews, and the prices are all marked on them. It has a good taste, highly enjoyable drinking, less impurity in refined brewing, and the original taste of steamed brewing!"

I smiled, and understood why his business here is better than others, nodded and said, "Then give me half a catty of the same!"

But the boss said: "I'm sorry, this customer, the shop's rule is that one person can only buy one catty at most!" Then he pointed to a sign hanging in the shop "Have a drink to enjoy yourself, and a cow to drink will hurt your body! One person a day One catty!"

I snorted and said, "That's the same as two taels!"

The boss took out four very delicate bottles and said, "It costs 10 yuan each, is there any problem?"

I thought there was something wrong with it at first, but when I saw the dissatisfied eyes of the people lining up behind me, I immediately nodded in agreement.

Wine is not expensive, but these four bottles cost 40 yuan, which is indeed a bit worthless.

I asked Ah Bao who was carrying the wine bottle, "Do you know why the wine in this wine shop is so popular, but not in other wine shops?"

Ah Bao thought for a while and said, "Hunger marketing, right? In fact, he can sell more in a day, but he doesn't!"

I hummed and said, "This is one of them, what else?"

A Bao thought for a while and said: "Then there are many types of products. I see that there is only one kind of wine in other houses, and there seem to be many kinds in his house!"

I nodded and said, "Yes, I guess everything else is the same!"

Ah Bao shook his head and said, "How is this possible? The alcohol content can't be deceiving, and the taste can't be deceiving either!"

I smiled and said: "It's not difficult at all, just add some water! Don't you think that the customers here are all from other places? Buy it and leave. If there are no locals to buy, they are not afraid of someone coming to them ! Just sell it!"

A Bao said with an oh: "Yes, you see, although their price is the same as other stores, but the quantity is much more! It seems to be cheaper than other stores!"

I hummed and said: "Yes, there are many products, so there are many choices, and the price is easy to be ignored. Even if you don't make money on the price of wine, you can also make money on the packaging! Most of the people who come here to buy wine are as For souvenirs, of course the packaging is the most important thing, and there must be an explanation. This one does a good job, but the other ones are different. A lot of effort has been put into the decoration of the wine shop, so that customers will feel that it is The products must not be cheap, and I dare not even enter! The decoration can be magnificent, but it must be close to the people!"

Ah Bao smiled and asked, "Are you teaching me sales knowledge?"

I shrugged and said, "Just chatting with you!"

Back at the hotel, I ordered two seafood dishes, a few side dishes, and sat down to taste wine slowly.

Ah Bao took a sip from the bottle, then nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's just like what you said, there's no difference at all!"

I hummed and said, "This wine tastes like rice wine, similar to rice wine in Guangdong. What's the difference in degree and steaming process? It's all to bluff outsiders!"

Abao said thoughtfully: "Look at their wine, there is no unified brand, it is called Huadiao wine, if we register a brand of Huadiao wine, do some advertisements, and let all consumers think of Huadiao wine , you can think of our registered brand, do you think our brand will become very valuable!"

I thought it was ridiculous at first, but when I tasted it carefully, I suddenly felt that what he said made sense. Why didn’t anyone think of trying it?

Seeing that I didn't answer, Ah Bao continued: "Think about it, their wine can only be sold in this store, and they are all sold to tourists. How much can it sell? If I register a brand, Including all tourists who come to buy wine, they must first ask if there is any wine of my brand, even if I don’t make wine, how much money can I make a year just by letting them use my trademark in these shops?”

I smiled and said: "It's a very good idea, you can try it!"

A Bao asked in surprise: "You also agree with my idea?"

I hummed and said, "Why would I disagree with such a good idea?"

A Bao said with some surprise: "Because no one has recognized my ideas since I was a child! Everyone thinks I am whimsical!"
