Love Apartment: South Wind Passage.

Chapter 592 Meijia's Birthday

Zeng Xiaoxian saw that the two were full of disbelief, so he hurriedly urged: "No matter what, I want to compete for the position of chairman.

"As my friends, shouldn't you support me?

"Just as a precaution, it's a good idea to keep it in the suite as a backup."

Yifei snorted and said, "Whoever wants to buy it can buy it, but I won't buy it anyway.

"You live in this suite too, why do you want me to buy a fire extinguisher?"

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled awkwardly, and looked at Yu Mo earnestly: "Dear Yu Mo, you are so beautiful and kind, you will definitely not stand idly by, right?"

"hehe."

Yu Mo originally thought that his suite didn't need a fire extinguisher, but seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's pleading eyes, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, okay, just tell me how much per bottle?"

"Three hundred and eight."

Yu Mo was completely stunned: "How much?"

Zeng Xiaoxian said again: "Three hundred and eighty."

Yumo blinked her eyes. She looked at the small fire extinguisher in Xiaoxian's hand that could fit in a briefcase, and asked in disbelief, "Teacher Zeng, are you sure such a small bottle costs three hundred and eighty?

"…You didn't take kickbacks, did you?"

"Do you think my brother Xian is this kind of person?"

Zeng Xiaoxian pointed at himself and said, "I'm not Ziqiao, why would I take kickbacks?"

"Too……"

Yumo took out her mobile phone and searched the Internet for the price of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, then she sighed: "I understand why the street office wants to use the position of chairman to seduce you to sell fire extinguishers.

"A seven-kilogram carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on Taobao only costs about two hundred yuan, but you're selling a two- or three-kilogram fire extinguisher for three hundred and eighty yuan?
"The street offices are still the ones that make money."

Upon hearing this, Yifei asked Zeng Xiaoxian, "Zeng Xiaoxian, how many bottles have you sold now?"

“…Three bottles.”

"not bad."

Yifei teased, "I didn't expect there were three idiots in the apartment. Tell me the information of these three people later. I will let Ziqiao sell them health products when they are old and cheat them out of their pensions."

"Go away, you two are the only ones who like to make sarcastic remarks."

Zeng Xiaoxian pouted and complained: "Don't you think about it, if this fire extinguisher is really good quality and cheap, why are we spending so much effort to promote it?

"Just take them to the square, hang up banners and sell them."

"Teacher Zeng, give up."

Yu Mo patted his shoulder and advised: "The price of this fire extinguisher is really outrageous. If the price of something is far beyond its market price, no matter how good the promotion is, it will be useless."

Zeng Xiaoxian curled his lips. He still didn't want to give up the good opportunity to compete for the chairman of the residents' committee: "Then the cost of your skin care products is only that little money, why are they so expensive?"

“Can skin care products be the same as fire extinguishers?”

As a beauty consultant, Yu Mo revealed the truth about the beauty and cosmetics industry: "All skin care products and cosmetics actually make money from knowledge. To put it bluntly, most people don't understand the relevant knowledge of makeup, skin care and beauty.

"Plus, the entire industry has a unified pricing standard. If you dare to sell your skincare products cheaply, people will worry about whether they will ruin your face after you apply them."

She knocked on Zeng Xiaoxian's fire extinguisher: "Even if the cost of skin care products is not high, different grades of skin care products can still be distinguished by their skin care effects.

"But the only function of a fire extinguisher is to put out fires, and it must be done as quickly as possible. No matter what brand of fire extinguisher it is, it must claim to be highly flame retardant and able to put out fires in three seconds.

"So why is your fire extinguisher so expensive?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment after hearing Yu Mo's words. He realized that what Yu Mo said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Xiao Xian got anxious now, he grabbed Yu Mo's arm tightly and asked repeatedly: "What should I do?
"Yumo, you must help me."

Yu Mo just advised: "Teacher Zeng, you should just give up. It's too rip-off to sell a fire extinguisher that's obviously paid for with kickbacks."

"I know this is a bit tricky, but the position of chairman of the residents' committee is really tempting."

Zeng Xiaoxian asked anxiously, "Isn't there any way to have the best of both worlds?"

"Forehead……"

Yu Mo hesitated to speak. She obviously had a solution, but for some reason she couldn't say it out loud.

Zeng Xiaoxian had an idea when he saw this. He leaned closer to Yu Mo and said, "Yu Mo, you are learning how to make homemade chocolate hearts, right?"

Yu Mo nodded. It was not that she didn't want to deny it, but this kind of thing was simply impossible to deny.

I can't tell Yifei that I want to make homemade chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day, right?
She didn't even have anyone to give a gift to on Valentine's Day.

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled confidently: "How about this, you teach me how to sell fire extinguishers, and I teach you how to make homemade chocolates with love hearts?"

"Hey!"

Yifei immediately became dissatisfied. If he taught Yumo to make homemade chocolate hearts, what should she do? How should she spend this Valentine's Day when no one wants to date her?
She glared at Zeng Xiaoxian fiercely, her tone faintly threatening: "You, a grown man, can make homemade chocolate?"

"It depends on who Yumo trusts more."

Xiaoxian smiled at Yumo and said, "Yumo, do you trust me more, or do you trust Hu Yifei, the developer of Fei's innovative cuisine, the uncrowned king of the dark cuisine, who uses a juicer to grind meat and a meat grinder to grind beans?"

Yumo was completely dumbfounded after hearing what Zeng Xiaoxian said.

Seeing this, Yifei quickly advised: "Yumo, my dear sister, don't listen to Zeng Xiaoxian's nonsense. How can a man like him make homemade chocolate?"

"Oh my god, is homemade chocolate something that hard to learn?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was determined to get his position as chairman. He confronted Yifei directly: "Give me some time to search online for teaching videos. I can't guarantee anything else, but I promise I can make chocolate better than you!"

"Zeng Xiaoxian, you!"

Yifei was immediately furious, especially when she saw Yumo's face full of excitement, she asked nervously: "No way, Yumo, do you believe him or me?!!"

"How can it be!"

Yumo held Yifei's hands tightly, her eyes full of sisterly love: "We are good sisters, how could I not trust you."

"Yu Mo..."

Before Yifei could smile, Yumo turned around and looked at Teacher Zeng eagerly. "Teacher Zeng, we have a deal!"

Yifei was struck by lightning instantly.

W(Д)w! ! !

"I want to sell this fire extinguisher. I have three strategies: best, middle and worst."

Zeng Xiaoxian ran to pour water for Yu Mo: "Military Advisor Qin, please speak."

Yu Mo took a sip of water and said to Zeng Xiaoxian, "The best strategy is very simple. That is to treat the person in his own way and use kickbacks to fight kickbacks."

"What do you mean?" Zeng Xiaoxian was confused. "Are you asking me to take kickbacks?"

"Stupid, I'm not asking you to take the kickback, I'm asking the person who buys this fire extinguisher to take the kickback."

Yu Mo covered his mouth and whispered to Mr. Zeng: "If you want to sell fire extinguishers, you should go to bars, restaurants and other public facilities and sell them for 680 yuan per bottle. Then you only need to collect 380 yuan."

Zeng Xiaoxian still didn't understand: "What's the difference between this and me selling it directly for 380 yuan?"

"How stupid!"

Even Yifei understood what Yumo meant: "Yumo means that you should go to the store managers of these stores and ask them to buy your fire extinguishers for 680 yuan.

"The money they used to buy the fire extinguisher went into the store's public account, and the three hundred dollars you returned went into the store manager's own pocket."

"Oh……"

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly realized: "So this is how kickbacks are dealt with. Yumo, this is the heart of your sales work."

Yu Mo's face darkened: "Teacher Zeng, how many times have I told you that I am a senior beauty consultant!
“And if you hadn’t asked me, I wouldn’t have thought of this idea.

"What do you think, Mr. Zeng? Just tell me whether you want to do this or not."

Zeng Xiaoxian began to think about it with great excitement.

He knew that Yu Mo's method would definitely be effective immediately, but he still felt that the idea of ​​selling fire extinguishers by tempting people for kickbacks was too dirty.

"Military Advisor Qin, let's change our mind. I can't do this kind of thing."

Yumo nodded. Although it was her idea, she would not really accept it if Teacher Zeng really did it.

Even if all crows are black, she hopes that the small circle in the apartment can be worldly-wise but not worldly.

“The middle strategy is the same method that businesses often use to sell skin care products: creating anxiety.

"As long as you can arouse people's fear of fire and their attention to fire safety, and make them feel at ease only when they have a fire extinguisher, and even cannot wait to buy one from Taobao, then you will be able to sell these extremely expensive fire extinguishers in your hands."

"Forehead……"

Zeng Xiaoxian's facial features almost squeezed together after hearing Yu Mo's words: "This idea is only a little more rational than the last one. Military Advisor Qin, don't you have any other solution that doesn't involve selling out your conscience?"

"Yes, I have."

Yu Mo sighed: "The worst option does not require you to sell your conscience. You just need to make up the difference in the price of the fire extinguisher yourself."

She took a photo of the same model of fire extinguisher and put it on Taobao to search for the same model: "The normal price of your fire extinguisher is 80 yuan, which means you will lose 300 yuan for each bottle you sell."

Zeng Xiaoxian was petrified instantly when he heard this.

[In his inner world, Zeng Xiaoxian scratched his head and muttered to himself while holding a calculator.]

[There are 375 households in the apartment. If you want to win, you have to sell 188 bottles. Each bottle will cost you 300 yuan...]

[No, not every household will buy just one bottle, so the loss will increase even more…]

【ah! ! ! 】

[Zeng Xiaoxian threw the calculator down in despair and stomped on it with gritted teeth.]

"what is this!"

Zeng Xiaoxian shouted angrily, "The three options are either to lose conscience or to throw money at it. Yumo, why do you always come up with bad ideas?"

"I'm not trying to give you a bad idea. The fire extinguishers you're selling are shady products. If you don't give me a bad idea, you won't be able to sell them.

"Even the subdistrict office itself knows that this fire extinguisher cannot be sold through normal channels, otherwise why would they let the three of you promote it door to door?"

Yumo was not annoyed, she just patted Xiaoxian's hand comfortingly: "Teacher Zeng, you want to sell a fire extinguisher with a market price of 80 yuan for 380 yuan without losing your conscience. This is illogical.

"If you can do this, then wouldn't their kickbacks be for nothing?"

Yifei saw that Zeng Xiaoxian was a little disappointed, and comforted him: "In fact, there is nothing good about the position of chairman. This competition is also a reminder for you.

“This is the job of the chairman. There is pressure from the landlord and the street office above, and the will and interests of the residents’ committee and all the tenants of the apartment below.

"If you can't even solve this problem, you'll just be a mascot and a doormat even if you become chairman."

"what?"

Yifei suddenly realized, she finally understood why Nanfeng liked to use these two words to describe the chairman of the residents' committee.

Zeng Xiaoxian waved his hands in disappointment: "Let me think about it again."

After hearing what Yumo and Yifei said, he realized that in addition to enjoying free parking and being able to hang his photo in the apartment lobby, the chairman of the residents' committee also has to bear a lot of responsibilities.

Just when Yifei and Yumo didn't know how to continue comforting Zeng Xiaoxian, Wanyu walked out of the room.

"Wow, it smells so good, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

Wanyu smiled and sat down at the dining table and asked casually, "By the way, what birthday presents did you prepare for Meijia?"

"Miga's birthday present?"

Yu Mo and the other two exclaimed in unison.

"Yes." Wanyu blinked, "February 12th, isn't that today?"

Yifei and the others looked at each other, then rushed out the door without caring about anything else.
