Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 84 Periscopes and Neon Lights

Ah Hao left, but not completely.

In the studio, he found a brass pipe in the corner of the wall.

The brass pipe extended straight up, turned a corner, and went deep into the wall.

It has passed through the wall, revealing a small section in the outer hall.This small section of pipe was hidden by the decoration extending from the ceiling.

Inside the pipe, several small mirrors are hidden.

This is a device similar to a periscope, a gadget he made yesterday.

Ah Hao turned up the mirror that was originally facing downwards inside the brass tube.His eyes moved to the eyepiece next to him.

A reduced version of the hall appeared in front of his eyes.

Thanks to the outer brass tube being buried at a high position, the entire viewing angle he saw was quite wide.

He saw that there were no customers in the store for the time being, and only Payne wandered around the long table by himself.

He was picking up the perfume and spraying himself twice.Then he showed another intoxicated expression.

Ahao left the eyepiece in satisfaction, he didn't mind Payne using perfume.

Anyway, these bottles of perfume are there for people to try.

It's good news that the staff approve of the fragrances sold in the store.

If the seller doesn't really think that what he wants to sell is good, and if he tells others, it will be difficult for others to be convinced.

He knows it all too well.Like Zu Nana's perfume, he doesn't like it very much because he has many bottles, and he feels disgusting when he introduces it.

Then the sales volume of the few bottles of perfume that he didn't like was much lower than that of the other bottles. The store manager had scolded him for this before.

Why do you remember the former store manager again?That's bad luck.

Ah Hao shook his head, then looked at the brass tube periscopes next to him.

He has no particular hobbies.The periscope was added purely for safety reasons.

After his careful positioning, he can see the four positions inside the store, outside the gate, the side iron ladder and the door on the second floor through the periscope of the studio.

The periscope outside the gate is made of the best materials, after all, what he wants to see most is the situation outside the street.

He saw a few passers-by who seemed to be attracted by the fragrance he just sprayed out, sniffing, but they didn't find his shop for the time being.

After observing for a while, he turned his head and walked towards Lian Chengzhen.

Still work hard!Wende is still waiting for food, waiting for him to provide perfume.

In the afternoon, Ah Hao walked out of the studio.

"How are sales today?"

When he was refining, he was so focused that he really didn't have time to look at the situation in the shop.

"Not bad! I actually sold a bottle!"

Payne put his hands on his hips, and said to Ahao with a little satisfaction.

"Only one bottle?"

Ah Hao scratched his head, feeling that the situation was not ideal.

"So how many customers came to the store today?"

"Three!"

He knows the problem.

Three customers entered the store, and one customer bought.It shows that his perfume is still competitive.

The problem still lies in the customers who enter the store. There are only three people a day, which is too few.

He has done research before, and he knows that the commercial street where the store is located has a good flow of people.

"Pain, what do you think is the reason why customers don't come to the store?"

He humbly asked for advice, although he had some guesses in his heart.But he felt that Payne, who was on the front line, should have a deeper understanding.

"The main thing is that there is still a lack of a signboard! Then, boss, the decoration of your lamp is not strong enough. Others can't tell that you sell perfume. I feel strange if someone buys it."

Payne blurted out without thinking, as if he had already prepared a draft.

"It really is."

Ah Hao went to the outside of the shop to have a look, and found that he had neglected the decoration outside the shop.

Now the [Porter's Burger Shop] signboard hanging outside the store has been removed, leaving only a few tattered pipes and offset printing.

What's even more exaggerated is that the hamburger-shaped neon lights are still hanging outside the store.The abstract painting of meat and vegetables sandwiched between two slices of bread makes people think that this place sells hamburgers at first.

From the outside, it doesn't really look attractive.

If he hadn't sprayed the perfume a few times in the morning to attract some customers with the [fragrance], it would have been fruitless today.

"Pain, do you know where neon lights are made to order?"

He turned back into the store and asked about Penn.

He can make things like tables and chairs by himself.He really can't do anything about the neon lights.He doesn't even "understand" how it works.

"I don't know that. Mr. Potter must know about such things. If only he was here."

After thinking for a while, Ah Hao said directly: "Then let's stop here for the trial opening today. Let's close the door and go to the bar."

Payne was a little happy at first, and then said with a little worry:

"Boss, I have to pick up my sister from school later, I can only have one drink at the bar."

Ahao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we are going to deliver goods and meet people by the way. I will be back soon, and I will introduce my partner to you later."

"That's it!"

Ahao rented a tricycle from the owner of the nearby restaurant for 50 Canadian dollars.

He and Payne carried cases of perfume from the studio to the tricycle.Then he carried the goods and Payne, and rode towards Wende's bar.

【Abyss Bar】

Ah Hao pushed open the door, panting and shouted to Wen De behind the counter.

"Wende, come and help, your perfume is here!"

Wende looked up in surprise.

"Finally waiting for you, Hao! Where are the goods?"

"It's just outside your store, here to help unload the goods. I came here on a tricycle, and I was almost exhausted."

"Here we come." Wende happily threw down the ledger and came out from behind the bar.

As soon as he went out, he saw Payne standing beside the tricycle.

"Who is this?"

"Payne, an employee in my store."

Then he said to Payne: "His name is Wende, he is my old friend, and he is the owner of this bar."

Payne and Wende held hands together politely.

"Happy to meet."

"Hello."

Payne grinned a little.Wen De's strong hand held him a little painful.

"Move that guy to the back of the bar first. I've already cleared out a row of perfume shelves for you at the bar."

Payne quickly picked up a box of perfume and walked into the bar, leaving Wende's side.

When Payne entered, Wende immediately bumped Ahao lightly with his elbow.

"Yo, I've become the boss. The employees are all found. So the store must be settled?"

"It's not just done, it's a trial operation today." Ah Hao smiled and picked up a box of perfume.

"By the way, these perfumes are not all for you."

"What do you mean?" Wende frowned.

"Boss Joe, do you still remember? There is also a hundred bottles of [Grapefruit Paradise] he ordered inside."

"Boss Joe?" Wende's eyes widened. "Didn't you just dump him and work with Julie?"

"One size counts. I really don't plan to cooperate with him in the future. But let's continue with the previous transaction. After all, he helped me at the beginning."

Wen De picked up a box of perfume with one hand, and gave Ahao a thumbs up with the other hand free.

"Be loyal. Then I will notify him to pick up the goods."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Also, the goods I have prepared for you here are three kinds of perfumes, twenty bottles each. You should sell them first. After you sell them out, you can settle the payment with me."

Wende chuckled, "Am I going whoring for nothing?"

"Why not?"

Ah Hao glanced at him, "I'm willing to let you go whoring for nothing. That Joe boss, remember to ask him to pay first before picking up the goods. I'm a little afraid that he won't pay for the goods."

Wende spat on the ground with a "pooh".

"He's absolutely capable of doing such a thing. He pays me for his drinks on credit."

While chatting, the two unloaded goods from the tricycle back and forth.

Wait for the goods to be moved.Wen De was at the counter and mixed a cocktail for Ahao and Payne.

"By the way, Wende, who made those neon lights in your store?"
