National Tide 1980.

Chapter 251 Opening

Today is the first day of opening.

In Ning Weimin's heart, he was actually somewhat nervous.

To put it bluntly, caring is chaos.

After all, this is different from making money for others, it is making benefits for yourself.

If Pierre Carton's clothes couldn't be sold, he would definitely be able to calm down and not panic.

But if the sales of tourism products cannot be opened, it means that his previous series of arrangements are in vain.

No matter how good the other jobs are, they are just making wedding dresses for the company in vain.

For him personally, of course, is a major setback.

As for specific matters, the thing that makes Ning Weimin most uneasy is whether the price he set can be accepted by customers.

You know, after all, he came here speculating on the values, preferences and spending power of foreigners.

Before passing the actual market test, all these are only theoretical.

And from a practical point of view, it is clear that at the beginning of the opening, the signs and signs were not very good.

For nothing else, the first few domestic tourists who visited the Zhai Palace today all felt that the prices of these things were ridiculously high, and they had quite a lot of opinions.

In fact, many people were attracted by the girls in the fasting palace and the things displayed almost at the first glance.

But after crowding over, almost everyone was frightened by the price, and no one wanted to buy it.

Everyone's dissatisfaction can be heard only from the many people talking about it.

Like someone just said it.

"Oh, the ashtrays in this city gate tower are pretty and interesting, but looking at the price tag, it's more than 16 yuan, and you can buy three thermos bottles. It's too expensive..."

Others followed suit.

"This Monkey King is not bad either. It's really exquisite and beautiful. It's almost the same as the ones on the Peking Opera stage. But the tens of dollars are equivalent to one month's salary. Who can afford it? Such an expensive thing. Children playing? Are you kidding me..."

Naturally, someone will compare with Zhen'er.

"I said, comrade, why are your things so expensive? How can our people have such a high level of consumption? Does the price bureau know that you sell such expensive things?"

For a while, the complaints from these customers made the girls feel a little unexplainable embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin was watching from the sidelines, so he hurried forward and gave the girls an excuse to emulate.

"Everyone, please be calm. These things are not ordinary children's toys or handicrafts. In fact, they are all exported to earn foreign exchange for our country. These are all made by famous masters. The quantity is limited, and of course the price will be higher. It's expensive. To be honest, even if you want to buy it, you have to buy it with foreign exchange certificates."

What does it mean to be rich and powerful?This is.

In this way, the opinions were calmed down smoothly.

But this polite and soft nail made everyone speechless, but it was really cold.

After watching it for a while, people became depressed and gradually dispersed with little interest.

Soon, there was not even a single person in front of a few tables.

This inevitably made the three girls in charge of sales feel a little discouraged.

Nothing happened to them.

Naturally, I began to worry about the business, thinking that these things would be difficult to sell.

However, the setbacks have only just begun, and more morale-damaging things are yet to come.

When the first foreign couple who came to the east gate of the Zhai Palace appeared, the girls who had raised expectations were disappointed again.

The couple are both middle-aged, and they are quite decent in appearance.

The men are in suits and leather shoes, with cameras on their shoulders, and the women are also wearing coats.

After they were attracted by these handicrafts, they were indeed very happy to play with the large and small commodities one by one, and chatted in chatter.

But when it came time to really ask the price, he just shook his head again and again.

In the end, just like those domestic tourists, they let it go rather reluctantly and left with regret.

As a result, this time, even Huo Xin's mood was affected.

She couldn't help pulling Ning Weimin to the side to persuade him.

"Oh, you set this price too darkly, right? You said that you only do business with foreigners, but foreigners don't accept your business."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, our coffee shop actually receives a lot of Chinese customers. Isn't our clothes also sold to domestic compatriots? I really haven't seen a few foreigners spend money here .”

"When things come to an end, I shouldn't say that. But I can't help but want to advise you, don't be too stubborn..."

Ning Weimin could feel the kindness towards Huo Xin.

But I have come to this point, how can I not see the truth thoroughly?

You have to sneak to the end to tell the difference between a mule and a horse.

He really didn't want to listen anymore, so he waved his hand.

"Okay, don't worry about it, I can accept any result."

"Besides, isn't this just the beginning? What is a temporary failure? It doesn't explain anything."

"I can only tell you that foreigners also have poor people. Don't look at the two people who were dressed like five and six just now, but the two of them can chat in Russian."

"Calm down, let's take a look again. The big noses of real developed countries have not been here after all..."

Huo Xin saw Ning Weimin's impatience, so he couldn't persuade him anymore.

After getting along for a long time, Huo Xin is more and more understanding of Ning Weimin's characteristics of being soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

She also gradually understood the trick of how to avoid Ning Weimin's disgust - enough is enough.

However, easier said than done.

Although the truth is clear, it is often difficult for people to control their emotions, and it is inevitable to be anxious.

After a while, Huo Xin got angry because he was worried about Ning Weimin, and his throat hurt.

Even Ning Weimin himself had blisters on his mouth.

Fortunately, the facts quickly proved that their worries and self-doubt were unnecessary.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the clouds finally opened to see the moon.

When more than a dozen British tourists passed by the Zhai Palace after visiting the Hall of Prayer, the Echo Wall, and the Mound, the situation changed completely.

At that time, as soon as the three foreign children ran wildly in front of the hall, as soon as they entered the courtyard of the Wuliang Hall, they wanted to see the Peking Opera silk figurines placed on the table in front of the hall from a long distance.

These children yelled and yelled, turned around and pointed at the adults, and ran over together.

To be honest, it was the first time for the three girls in charge of selling tourist products to try to communicate directly with foreigners, so it is very normal to be nervous.

All of a sudden, their usual self-confidence and spontaneity were gone, and most of the English words were left behind.

All he could do at this point was to smile awkwardly and point at the items on display.

Tremblingly asked "Which one?", "Do you like this style?".

With their ability, it is really difficult to explain the specific discounts and other details.
