Chapter 285 Bad Guy or Good Guy?

Meng Donglai took her to a Zhejiang restaurant, and now it was almost past meal time, and there were not many customers in this restaurant.

Asked for a private room, Meng Donglai handed the menu to Wang Manni.

"This Zhejiang Cuisine is relatively light, you should like it."

"How do you know I'm from Zhejiang?" Wang Manni asked curiously.

"You forgot, I talked with your parents on the phone, we talked a lot." Meng Donglai replied with a smile.

Wang Manni looked at the menu in her hand, and the price was several times more expensive than what she ate in her hometown.

She subconsciously considered whether Meng Donglai could afford it, but when she looked up at his clothes, she put aside this worry.

He ordered two dishes he liked, and then handed the menu back to Meng Donglai: "You can order a few, I don't know what you like to eat."

"Okay." Meng Dong looked at the dishes she ordered, all of which were relatively cheap, flipped through the menu, and found a few more that women would like.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two continued to chat, and as they chatted, they talked about Meng Donglai's work.

"You were quite nervous last time, why did you suddenly have money this time?" Wang Manni asked.

"I made some money in the stock market." Meng Dong said back and forth.

"I've seen many stray animal shelters on the Internet take advantage of other people's sympathy to make huge profits and get subsidies, you..." Wang Manni didn't finish the question, but the meaning was already expressed clearly.

"Do you think I look like a bad guy?" Meng Donglai asked back.

"Bad people don't write it on their faces." This woman is really straight-tempered.

"I know what you said. There are indeed some people in this industry who make huge profits by buying and selling sympathy." With nothing else to do, Meng Donglai began to educate her about the dirty aspects of this industry.

"In the past, the dog-fighting team would kill stray dogs if they caught them. Now, the concept of animal protection is getting stronger and stronger. The dog-fighting team can only hand over the stray dogs they catch to the shelter, and give another dog 500 yuan. subsidy."

"There are really subsidies."

"Yes, but the money is dead. The 500 yuan will always be spent, so the shelter will set a time limit, such as [-] days. Within [-] days, if someone adopts, the stray animals can continue to live. , if no one adopts them, the shelter will eventually euthanize these stray animals." Meng Donglai said.

"Hey, there is probably no way." Wang Manni tried to think from Meng Donglai's point of view.

"Basically, most of those abandoned stray animals have not been sterilized. When they are wandering, there are piles of animals, which can be said to be endless. It is impossible for shelters to keep them and raise them all the time. In fact, most of them still cannot escape being put to rest in the end fate." Meng Donglai nodded, and added: "However, my home for stray animals is different. I didn't cooperate with ZF, and the Dog Fighting Team would not give it to me, so I never took this home. money."

"Then what do you rely on for maintenance?" Wang Manni asked.

"Did you just think that I am the same as those who shoot videos and do live broadcasts on the Internet, and those stray dogs in them are all skinny, and then I yelled that a peach heart represents 20 grams of enough food, those 30-[-]-year-old children Girls can't help but brush gifts, thinking that their contributions will help these poor stray animals, but in the end they all end up in the pockets of video hosts or broadcasters."

"Basically, I used to watch this kind of video and couldn't help giving some rewards, but in the end there were posts on the Internet that exposed the hatefulness of these people, and I never watched it again." Wang Manni replied.

"It's fine if you don't tip. These people may earn enough for a year just from tipping every day, and they can also charge advertising fees. There are many who earn millions a month." Meng Donglai laughed. .

"Then is that how your clothes came from?" Wang Manni looked at Meng Donglai with something wrong.

"Hahaha." Meng Donglai smiled and didn't answer directly: "Actually, what you see is nothing, it's much worse than this."

"How to say?"

"In order to maximize the sympathy of the girls, some broadcasters even live broadcast the euthanasia process, crying while injecting; 'Hey, no one is helping our puppies anymore, I can only euthanize them too. ', on one side are the old, weak, sick and disabled who are being comforted, and on the other side is a cute and stupid puppy waiting to be fed, who is affected by this? What rockets and planes are flying out of nowhere." Meng Donglai said.

"This is too hateful." Wang Manni was so angry, she had never heard of this before.

"In fact, the syringes are full of vitamins. There are so many poor stray dogs now. The country has been urbanized for so many years, and the dog-fighting team worked hard in the past few years. Now you go to the street, do you find that there are very few stray dogs?" A stray dog ​​roaming the streets?"

"It's true, but these people are really hateful."

"This is not the worst. Some of them are amazing and can make disabled dogs. Do you dare to think?"

The restaurant started to serve food, and Meng Donglai greeted her to chat while eating.

"I'm so angry." Wang Manni didn't move her chopsticks.

"Have you ever thought about a question, what would happen to those stray dogs without these people?" Meng Donglai asked.

"Hmm..., wouldn't it be a direct installment?"

"That's right, that's it." Meng Donglai nodded, and started to eat by himself: "People die for money, and birds die for food. Money has infinite charm. People will do anything for money. Come out. Vicious and cruel, utterly devoid of conscience, outrageous, if it were not for the law, humans would be ten thousand times more cruel than animals."

Having said this, he glanced at Wang Manni and continued: "This is for others. Sometimes people will be cruel to themselves for money. They deceive themselves and others, and they can always find suitable excuses for their actions. "

"You said so much, but you never answered my question."

"My answer is very simple. I never planned to make money from the home for stray animals. Without a starting point, naturally I wouldn't do what I just said." Meng Donglai pointed to the dishes on the table again: "Let's eat , There are too many black and gray things in this world, there is no need to affect your appetite for these things. You have to know, sometimes, black is not black, and white is not white, they will depend on each other."

"And this statement?"

"What can the government do with 500 yuan for a stray dog? If there were no such people to find ways to make money, those dogs would be all happy in the end. But with these people, they cheated a lot of money, but in the end it was spent They saved a small part of the stray dogs, which indeed allowed them to survive. In a sense, they cheated of the money, and they also kept the dogs. Do you think they are good people or bad people?" Meng Dong said back and forth.

"However, what you said is quite reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong." Wang Manni was a little confused by what was said.

"Let's change the industry, let's talk about the job you are doing now." Meng Donglai added some dishes to her.

"My job? I just sell clothes. What's in it?" Wang Manni was led to eat vegetables unconsciously.

"That's too much."

"Let me give you an example."

"For example, I went to your store twice, and every time I went, I said that there were new men's clothing, but I have a good memory, and I can confirm that your men's clothing has not changed at all. It is obviously a backlog, but you say yes New model, is this a deception?" Meng Donglai asked.

"How can this be deception? This... is just rhetoric at best." Wang Manni argued.

"Hehe, let's continue then."

"Okay." Wang Manni was aroused to talk about sex.

"In your current position, in order to promote more sales, you must have some special sales skills, right? For example, adding an unnecessary aura to those bags and shoes." Meng Donglai asked.

"Well, that's for sure. Now is the age of traffic. When we sell things, we usually follow the popularity of celebrities. For example, this pair of shoes, XX just bought a pair, and this shoe XXX wears the same style in a magazine. But celebrities also If you have skills, some people will be annoyed by this, especially if you can’t talk about some fresh meat, otherwise customers would want to buy it, but later they would not buy it when they heard that they also wear it.” Wang Manni replied.

"Then who has a higher probability of making it happen?" Meng Donglai asked.

"Just talking about those big-name celebrities, such as these shoes worn by Faye Wong, Zhou Xun, and Gong Li, customers will suddenly look at the shoes in their hands." Wang Manni answered Meng Donglai's question while eating.

"Whether Faye Wong and Zhou Xun wore it or not, how do you know?"

"We don't know either, it's all nonsense." Wang Manni replied.

"That's right, isn't this deception?" Meng Donglai let Wang Manni dig a hole and bury herself: "People are in the game without knowing it, they are strict with others, and they are relaxed with themselves. "

"You may think that you are saying these words to facilitate, and maybe customers will just listen to it for fun and will not believe it, but in essence, falsehood is falsehood, and deception is deception."

"That's not the case. Even if I don't say it, others will say it. Others say that the performance is high, and everyone says it. Wouldn't I be stupid if I don't say it by myself? This industry is like this. The cost of those bags and shoes is actually It's not high, but the price can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and it depends on everyone carrying the sedan chair." Wang Manni retorted.

"Not only that, but if you can look at your words from a neutral standpoint, you will find that there is no truth in your mouths from the moment the guests enter the door."

Wang Manni thought about it.

When I usually sell, I usually watch people order dishes.

All the words are exaggerated for the purpose of making the guests happy.

When you see a more sophisticated guest, you will boast: Those who can handle this well are not ordinary people. Your work is related to art, right?
When I see such an exquisite customer, I will say: You are so good-looking, are you an actor?

As for white-collar workers, you can also say: What are you buying this bag for, commuting to work?I thought you were still in school.

[-]% of customers will buy it when boasting to the point.

"Those words are all polite words, and no one takes them seriously." Wang Manni found that what Meng Dong said seemed to be right, so she could only stubbornly maintain her last position.

Meng Donglai did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but chose to stop when enough was enough, otherwise the two of them would talk badly, and there would be no way to continue communicating later.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, no industry is easy, those of us who work for others, in the end, are actually earning hard money, selling luxury goods to those rich people, it's not hurtful to say something nice matter."

"That's right. Only when you really enter this industry will you know that although our cabinet sisters look glamorous, they are actually physical labor. You need to stand, run, carry, and tidy up. Sales are only a small part of it." Wang Manni immediately Approved answer.

Meng Donglai served her a bowl of soup.

"It's really hard work. I looked at your ID card the other day, and you've already started to have occupational diseases when you're less than [-]. You're really trading your health for money."

"Who says no? I'm pretty good now. In fact, there are still many occupational diseases in this industry, such as varicose veins, stomach problems, pharyngitis, stones, hey, it's hard to describe." Wang Manni took a sip of the soup with a spoon, and immediately praised : "It's delicious!"

"Drink more, replenish nutrition and water." Meng Donglai smiled and said, "Then you said that they are all migrant workers. Why does that Linda in your store seem so attractive, like two to five or eighty thousand."

"She's just like that. In fact, she's not targeting you, she's targeting me." Wang Manni didn't continue to arrange for Linda. Dare to push, the impact of the epidemic in the past few years, the recession in all walks of life around the world, the higher requirements are strict, and the customer complains a little, and the cabinet sister has to go around. I remember when the production first resumed, it was deserted, Whenever a customer comes to the door, we all cherish it, and take it seriously, how can we pull it up."

"The epidemic has little impact on the rich. Those who should be rich are still rich, and the very rich will be even richer." Meng Donglai asked.

In his knowledge system, due to the epidemic situation in various countries, the money comes out of the central bank and enters various banks. It is impossible to directly enter the hands of ordinary people. It will only be transferred to those who are eligible to borrow money from banks. So look at the United States, Not only did the epidemic not affect the rich, but it also increased their assets further.

"Indeed, rich people should buy it or buy it. They don't bring money to save money at all. I remember that a couple of men and women came to the store during the celebration and bought a rare leather bag worth more than 90 yuan. This kind of list, in our store Although there are a lot, but not every day. The point is that I found out after chatting that they bought 100 jewelry first, and came to us to collect bags in exchange for [-] million shopping mall swiping gifts." Wang Manni felt It's easy to chat with Meng Donglai, he can always pick up on her topic, and he has completely let go, just like chatting with an old friend for many years: "The rare skin is actually used to make up the number, it is really subversive Three views!"

"Your store's target customers are those rich people. In this case, wouldn't you have to raise the price?" Meng Donglai asked.

"It's gone up, everything has gone up, the price of leather goods has gone up across the board, up to more than ten percent, there's no way not to go up, everything is going up in all walks of life, we have to pursue higher profits, otherwise we have to close the store But when the price increase news was released, there were a lot of customers rushing to buy it." Wang Manni replied.

"It has risen, but someone is robbing it. Sure enough, human nature is to chase the rise and not the fall." Meng Donglai sighed.

"Indeed. However, there are also some brands that have raised prices, but customers don't buy them, so as soon as the price has increased, the price will be reduced by 5% off, 65% off, and 7% off on the back foot."

"Drink poison to quench your thirst."

"There is no way. Compared with the large-scale closure of stores and factories abroad, the impact of the domestic epidemic is relatively small. After all, it has become difficult to purchase luxury goods and international logistics has slowed down, so we have naturally absorbed this part of the sales. Many brands have also Send all the good products from all over the world to the Chinese market, and they won't be able to sell them anyway." Speaking of this, Wang Manni was a little proud.

This epidemic has indeed greatly enhanced the confidence and national pride of the Chinese people in the country.

No matter what you do, compared with your foreign counterparts, you will unconsciously feel an inexplicable sense of happiness.

The two ate a meal for more than two hours, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became. Under Meng Donglai's deliberate catering and the effect of skills, Wang Manni felt that she had really found a confidant.
