1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 232 Your Fate
"I didn't expect that after so many years, Stuart still likes to play such little tricks." Van Daze seemed to be very familiar with this scene, and said to them with a smile.

"The good show is about to begin."

"Good show?" Elizabeth, who was about to leave the store, was puzzled by this.

"Isn't this a very ordinary dispute between a clerk and a passenger? It's just that the clerk's words are really too much. If he is my clerk and dares to treat customers like this, even if it is a breach of contract, I will fire him. affect my reputation.

"I know this person, he is not a store clerk, but Stuart's assistant." Van Daze said.

Just as he was speaking, a burst of scolding sounded into the ears of everyone.

A balding middle-aged man who "coincidentally" passed by came in and snapped at the clerk, "Do you ever talk to customers like that? You're fired for your poor treatment of customers."

When the store manager saw the middle-aged man, the principal's arrogance instantly extinguished, replaced by a submissive expression.

He immediately admitted his mistake to the middle-aged bald man, and begged the bald middle-aged man to give him another chance.

"Boss, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance."

Although Liang Yao had never seen this middle-aged bald man, he recognized him quickly because his personal portrait was hung in the most conspicuous place in the commercial building, and Liang Yao had just seen that portrait.

If he hadn't known in advance that this was a scene, with the superb acting skills of Stuart and his assistant, Liang Yao might have believed it.

It would be reckless not to award Stewart an Oscar statuette.

"According to the direction of the script, Stuart will fire his assistant in public." Van Daze said very confidently as if he had predicted the subsequent development.

"What my store needs is a store manager who sincerely provides customers with high-quality services, not a self-righteous person like you who deliberately raises the price of goods and tarnishes my reputation." Sure enough, Stewart fired the store manager.

After pretending to fire the so-called store manager, Stuart pointed to the brown alpaca top hat and asked.

"What is the real selling price of this hat?!"

"Three dollars and fifty cents sir," said another clerk.

"Sorry sir, sorry customers, I am the owner of the commercial building, Stuart. I didn't keep my eyes open when I recruited people, and I caused trouble for you." Stuart apologized to the customers in the store.

"You manage such a large shopping mall, and it is inevitable that there are occasional omissions. You have remedied it in time and fired that black apple, haven't you?"

The customer who just quarreled with the fired store manager was satisfied with Stuart's handling and understood Stuart's difficulties.

Other customers in the store also expressed their understanding.

"To express my apologies, this top hat, which was originally 3 dollars and 50 cents, is now on sale for 3 dollars. I assure you that this will never happen in my mall in the future. I will often go to each store in person. Store tour," Stewart said to customers.

What Stuart said was not false. When he was still in the small shop business in New York, Stuart liked to visit the shops below to see if his employees were lazy, just like the emperor’s private visit.

"$3 is barely worth the money." Elizabeth was also satisfied with the price, and she bought three top hats in one go, which must have been for Vanderbilt, one for Coney, and the last one. It was for Liang Yao.

"Stewart, long time no see, you still like to play your old tricks, but your acting skills are getting better and better."

Van Dazer expressed disdain for Stewart's behavior of gaining customers' trust through carefully arranged performances.

"At least more and more customers trust me." Stewart maintained a haughty attitude in front of Van Dazer, and he took a look at this grand commercial building and the kingdom that belonged to him.

"The customers who come and go in the Stuart commercial building must also have many loyal customers of Van Dazer's grocery store, Van Dazer, you are as old-fashioned as your father, with all due respect, your family's store will not last long.

To do business, you must learn to keep pace with the times. Have you ever seen the Crystal Palace in London, England?I have seen it, it is simply a great miracle in human history, I want to imitate the Crystal Palace, build a shopping paradise in New York with steel and glass, and attract customers from all over the world to shop in my shopping mall. "

"Yes, to keep pace with the times. Our family is now to keep pace with the times and cooperate with Mr. Liang." Fan Daze said solemnly, "But some fine traditions cannot be lost, such as being honest and trustworthy, and treating our employees well. Our family It's better than you at these two points."

"People who follow the rules can't make achievements. As for treating employees well, I don't know what you are talking about. They are just simple-minded machines. They just need to learn how to flatter the customers who come into the store. They should thank me. It is difficult to work. I found New York, and I gave them a job that can make a living." Stuart said quite disdainfully.

"A salary of $6 a month in New York is not enough to live on, and you can only buy two top hats in this store, that's all." Van Dazer and Stewart argued bitterly.

Stuart walked up to Liang Yao, and said to Liang Yao very arrogantly: "You are Liang Yao, I admit that you are a very capable businessman, but I still want to give you some reminders, which can also be called advice. Geshan, maybe you are good at mining and railways, but retailing, mining, and railways are two different things, and there is no connection between the two.

I am strong enough in my industry, not a weakling like Van Darzer, I don't need to cooperate with anyone.

If you insist on entering the retail industry in New York, this will be the decision you regret most in your life, and you will lose everything. "

Liang Yao felt very uncomfortable with Stuart's arrogant attitude and tone.

Of course, at this time, Stewart is already the number one retailer in the United States, and will soon reach the achievement of annual sales of 1000 million U.S. dollars, becoming the number one retailer in the world. He does have the capital to be arrogant.

At the same time, among Stewart’s peers, Macy’s malls had annual sales of less than $100 million, and Marshall Field’s malls were less than $300. As for old-fashioned retailers like Van Darzer, they will be eliminated in this shopping mall trend. .

"Really?" Liang Yao responded with an arrogant tone and attitude, "Those bankrupt railway tycoons today will be your end tomorrow."
