It would be delivered tonight, Fu Yuling checked the time and thought it was okay.
“Just deliver it to the last house in Zhuangjia Village.”
“What’s the house number?”
House number? Fu Yuling really can’t remember clearly.
“When you reach Zhuangjia Village, just ask for Fu Yuling.”
Now she finally understands the benefits of being “famous.” It makes it easy for others to find her. Among the well-known names in Zhuangjia Village, the name Fu Yuling can be said to be second, as no one dare to take the first place.
After sorting out these things, Fu Yuling remembered the most crucial point.
“I wonder if you have tickets to sell here?”
The young man shook his head and kindly gave a reminder.
“To be honest with you, the country has implemented a policy where you don’t need tickets to buy things in the northern cities anymore. You can even set up your own stalls to sell things. It’s just that our small town is relatively backward, and the news hasn’t reached here yet. I reckon that in a few days, this information will be out.”
“I guess I’ve caused you trouble with this transaction today.”
Fu Yuling understood and chuckled at the last sentence. “It’s not a loss. You’ve actually helped me a lot.”
“What do you mean?”
The young man was puzzled, not understanding what Fu Yuling meant.
After leaving, she planned to visit the department store to have a look where they had a wide variety of items.
However, as soon as she entered and found that many things were extremely expensive, she suddenly realized that her originally bulging pocket had deflated in an instant.
Even for small items, they cost several or even a dozen yuan.
If she buy too much at once, the two thousand yuan won’t be enough.
There weren’t many people in the department store. Apart from a few uniformed service staff standing inside with smiles, the place looked empty at first glance.
So when Fu Yuling entered just now, she couldn’t help but praise the service attitude here.
She wandered around, and the nearby staff didn’t pay much attention to her, which made her more interested in shopping.
She likes to look at things by herself. If someone followed her all the time, it would be really embarrassing. In the end, she couldn’t stand it and casually bought something and left.
She went to buy some stationery and other supplies, and before picking them up, she specifically asked if she needed a ticket to buy these items.
The service staff responded politely, “No, guest. You don’t need a ticket to buy anything. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to ask me.”
It seems that the boss of this store already knows about the upcoming reforms and has canceled the requirement for tickets in advance.
While carefully selecting books, people slowly started gathering around her, and almost everyone asked the same question.
“Do we really not need tickets to buy things?”
One after another, the department store became lively.
After selecting all the items, Fu Yuling went to check out and found that the cashier had miscalculated the total.
The cashier explained with a smile, “It’s like this. These days, we have a promotional sale, and each item has a discount. The more you buy, the more you save. If the customer like, you can take advantage of this time and buy a little more.”
Fu Yuling nodded, slightly surprised by this wave of sales operation.
The boss has good business acumen. Taking advantage of the delay in spreading the news, he first created a wave of excitement. Being the first to offer items without requiring tickets will definitely attract those who have money but have been dealing with middlemen1The raw says scammers; swindlers; cheaters. But I felt like it wasn’t suitable since it is taking about the people who made deals with cutomers by selling things without ticket, so I changed it to middlemen. due to a lack of tickets.
And those who could deal with middlemen certainly has no issues with money.
Now not only do you not need tickets to buy items, but the same items that used to cost 50 cents are now sold for only 40 cents. This alone has already lured most people in and make it difficult for them to leave.
Some even went back feeling pleased, thinking that they had made a great purchase.
