The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 1947 Text

Chapter 1883

I continue to slowly tell you about some ordinary and dull things that happened some time ago. Even though there is nothing interesting in the plot, I can still tell you a lot of things.

One day in early June this year, the author went out to do some things. After finishing his work, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Passing by the big supermarket area, I went to the underground shopping district and went to the jewelry store where I looked at goods before. I wanted to look at pearl jewelry again. I looked at more goods, hoping to give my family a reference for future purchases so that they can have more choices. As for when my family can buy goods, or even whether they will buy pearl jewelry as gifts, I don’t know. I am still thinking about buying jewelry as gifts for my family. Frequently wearing jewelry and jade accessories that you like not only has the function of beauty and decoration, but may also have certain benefits for the body. I have given the money to my family, and there is a consumption budget, but they have not bought goods yet. My family said that they are not very interested in buying goods in the store of the mall. They think that although the quality of the goods is better, they don’t want to spend more money. My family bought dozens of goods in the online mall. The quality of the goods that cost hundreds of yuan is not bad, but it did not meet the expectations of my family. They want better ones, but don’t want to spend more money. Those cheap products that cost tens or tens of dollars are just small gifts that family members plan to give away as small ornaments to wear for a few days. Some people often replace cheap small ornaments. Although they are not worth much, they can also be beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and show style.

That afternoon, I arrived at the underground shopping district in that area. I didn’t plan to go to a large supermarket for shopping because the shopping software always had coupons. If I bought the same items, I would get a little discount for the whole order, and they would also deliver to my home. So over the years, I always bought things through the shopping software of large supermarkets, and rarely went to their physical stores to shop.

When I arrived at the jewelry store, I said I wanted to look at the goods. The female clerk I met last time said she remembered me and brought an aunt here. She talked about the prices of some goods and thought I was quite knowledgeable about some jewelry goods. I went to that store with my family in May. There was a star-shaped pearl gold chain in the store. There were about 20 pearls, which were combined in different sizes in the gold chain to make a match. There was no need to extend the chain. It was an extended necklace ornament. The style was okay. The small beads and very small pearls were used as decorations. The length of the engraved gold chain was longer than the standard women's necklace. If worn, it would look generous and decent. Engraved gold ornaments are not as luxurious and dazzling as gold products, but they are also high-end precious metal products. Many jewelry stores sell high-quality engraved gold products for several thousand yuan, which is a common price. When my mother saw the product, she thought it was okay. The female clerk said at first that the product was half price, which attracted the attention of consumers. Then she said that it was a regular product with 15% discount. But after checking the label, she said that it was already a special product, selling at a low price, without any discount, which caught people off guard and made them feel that it was not appropriate. The jewelry was on sale for 3,500 to 600 yuan, which was too high, so she didn't consider it much. If the price could be cheaper, down to 2,000 yuan or less, it would be okay. The weight of the engraved gold and the number of beads used in the product are more than the pearl gold chain of the starry sky in the jewelry store in the mall. There is no need to use an extension chain or take beads to piece together, which is a significant advantage, but the price is high. Maybe the merchant wants to make more money, so it doesn't matter if it is placed on the counter all year round, and there is no rush to sell it.

This time I came to the store to check out the products. The female clerk, who was about 40 years old, painted her face very bright and white. I guess she used a lot of cosmetics or had beauty care. Some cosmetics in recent years are very powerful. After using them for a period of time, the skin will appear delicate, white and shiny. It is not a natural state, but it can indeed appear bright and white under the light. The person wore pearl metal accessories and a white shirt work uniform. The service attitude was okay, better than the service attitudes of many clerks I met in that store before.

That jewelry store is located in the underground shopping district of the Plaza Mall. It has been open for more than ten years, which is about the same time as the opening of the big supermarket in that area. Many years ago, when the shopping program of big supermarkets was not popular, the author often went to the physical store of big supermarkets to shop, so he went to see some products in that store many times and met many waiters one after another. Because the products in that store were more expensive, he talked to them many times but failed to reach an agreement. He did not buy goods in that store and chose to give his budget to other stores. He bought a large number of various decorations one after another. When the price of gold was more than 300 yuan per gram, there was an activity that could give one gram of gold or equivalent shopping gold for spending more than several thousand yuan. Later, there were very few preferential activities.

I went to the pearl merchandise area at the counter, and saw that there were still dozens of pearl necklaces there, at low prices. The quality was not much different from the pearl necklace worn by the author. Some of the beads also had obvious flaws, but the quality of the pearl necklaces in that store was slightly better. However, no matter how much I bargained, they still cost seven or eight hundred yuan each, and the price was not lower.

The number of pearl necklaces on display in that store has always been quite large. There are many kinds of goods in the store. Some goods have not been sold for a long time, and some goods have been sold out after being on display for a short time. If there are vacancies, the store will restock them. I have been to that store many times before and have liked several pearl necklaces, but I always gave up because the price was not negotiated. The store's profit margin is very limited. I met many female clerks, and they all said that they could not make the decision. The normal discount is 15% or a similar discount. During festivals, it is good to be a little cheaper. I once met the female manager of that store. She was a young person. She said that the discount standard of the store was like that. She believed that the goods in the store were not expensive, so there was not much room for profit margin. If you buy a pearl necklace, you will only get a brooch as a gift and a necklace for free. It is difficult to get a lower discount.

I looked at many pearl jewelry, but I couldn't find any with the right price or special offers. I already have two large pearl necklaces, so I don't have much shopping budget, and my family doesn't like traditional pearl necklaces, so I can only look at the gold and purple pearls in the store. Some consumers will deliberately choose jewelry with colored beads.

  The pearl necklace in that jewelry store, which costs more than 2,000 yuan, is of medium to high quality, but it needs to be extended, which costs extra money. The store has loose pearls and beads of other materials, which can be used together to form a necklace style that you think is good. As long as you are satisfied with it, I believe there will be good things.
