Investment Life

Chapter 7

　　The babbling words made the people dumbfounded, and a few English words even popped up from time to time. Although the teenager's expression always remained natural and friendly, he was imperceptibly able to entrance the people listening, making his words seem more convincing. At this moment, a little girl by the side suddenly pulled at the corner of her mother's clothes.

　　"Mom, I want the kitties! The pink kitties!"

　　Those words caused her mother to give her a glare, but the teenager didn't miss the opportunity, and opened his mouth to say, "This little sister also likes the kitties? It'll go really well with your red coat! Elder Sister, how about buying a pair [3]? Winter is so cold and it's really hard for children to write their homework. No matter how poor one might be, the education can't be poor, and no matter the hardships, children shouldn't have to suffer. Such fashionable gloves will never go out of style, and they can be worn for many years. If you calculate it like this, it really doesn't cost that much money. For the New Year, why not buy a pair for your child~"

　　The people who'd come to the mall in these years really weren't poor, and this kind of marketing strategy had never been seen before. Under the two-sided attack from both her daughter and the teenager, the woman finally gritted her teeth, "Two pairs for fifteen dollars, will you sell it?"

　　"Aiya, Elder Sister, you're really..." The teenager showed a pained expression, "The boss doesn't want us to cut the prices, the cost of these things were too high, and we wouldn't be able to make any money at all. You can see that we have only a few pairs in total, it's not even enough to sell... "

　　However, this older sister was also obviously a powerful character. The two discussed the price for a while, and eventually the teenager patted his thigh, "It's the New Year and this is the first sale, so I'll give it to you! Second Brother, wrap up this older sister's gloves!"

　　After placing the two pairs of gloves in a small, delicate colorful bag, the boy carefully handed it to the little girl who was smiling happily, and patted her little head, "Little sister, take it, make sure to study hard every day and aim for the sky~~ "

　　After the first sale, the crowd of onlookers also started to move. The desire to buy these kinds of things was most easily incited in a group. The more people that crowded around, the larger the crowd would become, and finally, people almost started rushing to purchase. There wasn't even a trace of those who had wanted to dispute over the prices anymore. Most of them were young boys and girls who were afraid of not being able to buy the ones with their favorite designs. The two were so busy that their foreheads were covered in sweat and their smiles were almost frozen on their faces. Within an hour, more than 100 pairs of gloves were sold out.

　　A few of the customers who had arrived late were unhappy and said, "Why are they sold out already? Are there any left? Just a pair!"

　　The teenager laughed, "There's really none left today! We're really sorry, this product is really too in demand but we didn't order a lot. When we receive the goods again we'll come here again!"

　　The crowd gradually dispersed. Chen Yuanming let out a long exhale and squatted on the ground. His throat was already husky due to advertising for such a long time, and he had smiled so much that the muscles by the corner of his mouth were cramping. He had originally thought he would never have to engage in street sales anymore, but he didn't expect to end up using this skill so soon. Liu Yun's mother and daughter pair were still putting in extra hours and knitting gloves at home, so the only ones who could come and sell the products were him and Sun Lang. However, it was really easy to do business in these times, and it went much smoother than he'd expected.
