Chapter 128: New business opportunities
"Just write five more notes below, and we'll finish today's work." The scholar said in a principled manner.
"Okay then, light a few more lamps, don't tire your eyes out." Gu Xiaoyou couldn't persuade him, and left after a few words.
The next day, Gu Xiaoyou came to the store and saw a paper bag on the counter.
She touched it curiously and found that the inside of the paper bag was hard and angular, and she instantly guessed it was a business card.
I carefully opened the paper package and saw fifty business cards neatly stacked inside. The handwriting on them was clear and elegant, and the granary on the back was also painted in a stylish way.
If you pull out a business card at random, the handwriting is neat and the pattern is clear.
Gu Xiaoyou curled her lips and smiled. This Ding Xiucai was so worry-free in his work.
I couldn't help but feel a little proud, she was really a smart person with a discerning eye.
Gu Xiaoyou was happy when Boss Qi arrived. He happened to see the business card on the counter and said happily: "Boss Gu, is this Qi's business card?"
"Yes, please order a little." Gu Xiaoyou handed the business card to Boss Qi.
Boss Qi couldn't wait to look at it and checked several pictures, all of which were of high quality.
Feeling very satisfied, Boss Qi said happily: "Great, thank you Boss Gu, Qi will take his leave now."
With that said, he greeted Gu Xiaoyou, took his business card and walked away briskly.
"What a hot-tempered person." Gu Xiaoyou shrugged and continued to tidy up the counter.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Boss Qi came again, not only himself, but also with four or five people who were traveling with him.
"Boss Qi, welcome, please take a seat." Gu Xiaoyou greeted warmly.
The servants served tea and water with a wink, and placed the guests on their seats.
Boss Qi took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "Boss Gu, Qi is here this time just for his business card."
"Is there something wrong with the business card last time?" Gu Xiaoyou asked in confusion.
"There is no problem. Qi is very satisfied." Boss Qi said with a smile: "Not only am I satisfied, but my friends also like it very much. Please ask Qi to bring them to customize the business cards. Qi really can't refuse, so..."
Only then did Gu Xiaoyou understand what Boss Qi meant, and said with some embarrassment: "This... there are too many people here. You also know the situation in the store. I am only Ding Xiucai who writes."
Other bosses chimed in: "We can wait."
"You can also add money."
"As long as the work is well done and well written, the price will be easy to negotiate."
"But..." Gu Xiaoyou still hesitated. Making a business card is not as simple as talking. It requires writing, drawing, and design.
Boss Qi saw that Gu Xiaoyou was really criticizing him and said softly: "You can hire a few more scholars and spend some time training them. They are not in a hurry anyway."
Gu Xiaoyou nodded somewhat suddenly, yes, she can hire someone else. Hiring a writer is not easy.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyou come to his senses, Boss Qi added meaningfully: "Besides, only Boss Gu has the paper to make business cards. This opportunity is rare."
Boss Qi's words were like enlightenment. This was another business opportunity.
Gu Xiaoyou quickly thanked: "Thank you very much, Boss Qi, for reminding me."
"Boss Gu is a smart man." Boss Qi said cheerfully.
Gu Xiaoyou thanked him again and said to several other customers: "The store can provide customized business card services, but it may take a little longer, about seven days. If you don't mind, please leave your personal information and
Require."
"No problem, as long as it doesn't exceed ten days."
"Okay, how much will it cost?"
"I can also wait and bring me pen and paper."
Gu Xiaoyou provided paper and pen to several guests, asked them to leave their names and other information, and asked them what kind of requirements they had.
The guests wrote down their requests one after another. At this time, a guest asked: "I can't think of a pattern. Can Boss Gu think of one for me?"
While several people were writing, Gu Xiaoyou had already thought of several countermeasures. Hearing this, he replied: "Yes, if you are designing a pattern, you will have to pay an additional design fee."
"Okay, any amount is fine." The guest said boldly.
"Okay, custom-made business cards cost five hundred and fifty yuan, and the design fee ranges from two hundred and fifty yuan to one tael." Gu Xiaoyou quoted a conservative price.
"I want to order a hundred pieces, and I'll make a design for one tael of silver." The customer happily took out the taels of silver and handed the paper with the message to Gu Xiaoyou.
Gu Xiaoyou lowered his head and saw that he was a salt merchant. No wonder he was spending a lot of money.
Seeing this, other guests also asked: "I want fifty pieces, and I want a design of two hundred and fifty taels."
"I want two hundred."
"I'm ordering fifty sheets and want a five-hundred-dollar design."
These guests were all very generous, and paid happily without any unnecessary nonsense.
Gu Xiaoyou accepted the money with a smile, wrote down everyone's requirements, and worked for a while before sending them all away.
"Thank you, Boss Qi." Gu Xiaoyou said sincerely, not only thanking him for bringing customers, but also thanking him for providing business opportunities.
Boss Qi smiled slightly: "I just gave my opinion. If Boss Gu can't seize the opportunity, it will be useless no matter how much Qi talks about it."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Gu Xiaoyou and left happily.
Gu Xiaoyou felt a little emotional. She glanced at Boss Qi's back, then looked at the order in her hand, and raised her lips happily. She had secured a shop again.
Gu Xiaoyou came to the cubicle happily and asked directly: "Ding Xiucai, do you know someone who writes very well and can draw?"
"I have several classmates who are good at painting and calligraphy." Ding Xiucai replied without knowing why.
"Great, I have received a lot of orders for business cards again. Can you help me ask them if they are willing to work in my store?"
"They will definitely be willing." Ding Xiucai replied without thinking: "They are very envious when they know that I am working here."
"Envy?" Gu Xiaoyou said in surprise: "Is it just a job of writing that you are envious of?"
"Of course, you don't know something. The salary for writing letters is so meager that it is difficult to maintain the pen and ink for studying, let alone the tuition and book fees. But when I work here, the salary I earn can not only support the expenses of studying, but also the food.
It's much better." Ding Xiucai said, scratching his head shyly.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at Ding Xiucai carefully and realized that he was a little fatter than when they first met.
"It's not easy for you to study. If they are willing, please invite them all over." Gu Xiaoyou said considerately.
"Thank you, Boss Gu. I'll find them right now." Ding Xiucai said happily, showing a rare liveliness.
