Blackstone Code

The old wooden door was pushed open with a loud sound, and the bell hanging on the corner of the door jingled.

The salesman sitting behind the counter stood up and said "Welcome" which made him feel no discomfort.

Some people don't like to say this, such as the son of the owner of this store. He feels that it is a humiliation for him to say "welcome" when someone comes in.

This will make him feel inferior to the guests. He is a federal man who pursues freedom and equality, and he will not accept this job.

This may be his true thoughts, or it may be the reason why he is unwilling to work here. In short, he succeeded.

The father never wanted his children to grow up in the humiliation he described. Then, except for occasionally coming here to ask for money when he ran out of money, that bastard had no idea what he was doing most of the time.

A well-dressed gentleman carrying a briefcase came in. The salesperson who was also the owner frowned.

There is no reason, just subconscious behavior.

People dressed like this rarely appear around here, let alone enter this inconspicuous, dusty store.

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" He walked to the counter. There was no enthusiasm on his face, only numbness and helplessness towards life.

The well-dressed gentleman looked at the cigarettes and miscellaneous items on the first counter, then faced the shop owner and said, "I am a salesperson from Good Luck Company."

The shop owner raised his eyebrows and said, "We have your products here..."

Due to the existence of the Anti-Monopoly Law, any exclusivity clause is likely to trigger a series of lawsuits, so every store has various brands of tobacco, not just one brand.

The lucky salesman did not leave, but said with a smile, "This is not what I came here to talk about today. Can I come in?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Sorry, there are no more places here."

Yes, there was no room for more than a dozen people to squeeze into the counter. He simply didn't want this unknown person to come in.

He said he was a lucky salesman, was that true?

Only a fool would believe what a stranger said all of a sudden. The shop owner had rich experience. He did not resist or agree, but was a little stiff.

The salesman smiled nonchalantly and said, "We have launched a new counter now. If you can put it here..."

The salesman stretched out his finger and tapped on the first section counter, "We will give you some additional rewards every quarter based on the area and hygiene of your store."

It's a very old-fashioned thing. This is what we did all the time in the past. We spent money to buy a counter and signed a contract, so that now the first counter in most stores is the all-time counter.

In the past, those tobacco companies thought that people were out of their minds all the time, and by the time they reacted, it would be too late.

People's shopping habits are often the first thing they see. When a person who needs tobacco enters the store, the first thing he sees is tobacco all the time.

Even if he may know that there are other brands at the counter at the back, there is a high probability that he will think, "Why not buy a pack and try it?"

As long as the price range can satisfy all levels of consumer groups, this consumption impulse will become a consumption habit. This is also the reason why it has always made more money than others for so many years and eventually became the leader of the industry.

In the future, if the audience is an audience with consumption inertia, even if they put a shit-flavored tobacco consumer product on the shelves, some people will say it tastes great.

In the past, it was difficult for them to compete every moment, but now the opportunity has appeared.

The shop owner shook his head, "I can't do that!"

Everyone knows how to use the law to protect themselves, including homeless people, all the time.

They have a professional legal department to formulate strategies for them, and they have complete legal rights for things like buying counters.

For example, if someone violates the regulations and does not place the counter at the first position at all times, they even list the actual counter placement methods by drawing on the design drawing, and provide The counter is arranged with serial numbers.

No matter how the store counter is placed, the counter is always the easiest to see and the first to be touched.

They will pay for it, and the store must abide by the agreement, or the lawyer will make it difficult for them.

Shi Luck's salesman obviously knew this, "Now you can. Every moment, you have changed from a multinational company to a local company. They can't get raw materials and can't continue to produce tobacco products."

"No later than May at most, the remaining inventory will be almost completely used up. They will not be able to come up with a new batch of goods. They violated the regulations in the first place."

Looking at the shop owner, the salesman continued to say in his magnetic voice, "You don't think your counter is empty, do you?"

"If you are a consumer and you enter a store to buy some cigarettes to refresh yourself, but as soon as you enter you see an empty counter, what would you think?"

The salesman stared at the store owner. He knew that the other party did not stop him from talking, so the store owner must be thinking about it. This is a good thing.

He chatted harder, "Do you think that the things here are sold out, and what you want is also sold out, then you will definitely think that maybe the next store will have what you want..."

"But when you get to the next one, you may find that it doesn't exist here either, but after trying it before, you will become more patient."

"You may buy a pack of cigarettes that you have never eaten on the recommendation of the shop owner to try the taste..."

The shop owner nodded unconsciously. When he went to buy fishing bait in the past, the one he usually went to was no longer available, so he went to another fishing store that he didn't often go to.

His commonly used fishing bait was found to have a certain ingredient and was taken off the shelves. He chose a newly launched fishing bait that he knew in a store he didn't often go to.

And when he left, he found that the owner of the shop he often visited noticed him. From then on, he never went to the fishing tackle store he often went to before to buy anything, but chose the one he didn't go to often before.

He quickly connected the experience that happened to him with what is happening now. It is not terrible to sell anything. What is terrible is that he has lost old customers.

Seeing the change in the shop owner's eyes, the salesman knew that his order was almost settled.

His tone became more calm and honest, "The consequences of being unable to supply every moment should not be borne by innocent people like you. I have helped some shop owners solve this problem."

"I know what you are worried about, but these problems are not problems, because we will protect your rights and interests from harm!" As he said, the salesman took out some promotional coloring pages and placed them on the counter.

"We will have professional people to help you win the lawsuit first, and then fulfill the contract between us. You don't need to bear any cost, it will all be borne by us."

When he heard these words, the shop owner's expression was already a little moved. He actually knew that he was in trouble all the time. The news had been reporting on it, and everyone in the "circle" would also talk about these things.

Every moment the news about the upcoming discontinuation of production was treated as a joke that had nothing to do with him, but now, he was starting to get nervous.

He held those coloring pages, which were all about good luck in publicity, including the time when they helped the store owner who had suffered losses to file a lawsuit against every moment.

The shopkeeper looked at it very carefully, and the salesman impressed him with only a few short sentences.

In fact, there are no special skills that salespeople have.

He just unfolds the most ideal development for him, puts it in front of the shop owner, shows him the worst result for him, and then gives the other party a choice.

Because this is related to the vital interests of the shop owner, he will definitely be shaken after seeing the worst result.

If there is someone in this world who can make you change your mind immediately, it is definitely not the person's verbal charm. He just makes you realize that your own interests have been harmed, that's all.

But in fact, this is just the worst outcome. It is also possible that people first went to the shops at the end of the street, and then came here, and they would also stop here and buy some things.

When people's own interests are harmed, their mood swings will increase, they will become irrational, and they will ignore some small details.

The shop owner put the coloring page back on the counter. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "I don't know what to do..." He still made some small movements on his hands, "Have you ever had any successful cases?"

"I mean, are you making it impossible every day to continue to use the contract to ask us to do this or that?"

Just a minute ago, even if he was not on Moment's side, he was still maintaining a relatively neutral attitude.

But now, his attitude has changed dramatically, and he suddenly became... biased towards Shi Luck or the third-party victim camp he established for himself.

He had never been so "aggrieved" every time he received the hourly subsidy before, and now he speaks these aggrieved words very naturally and smoothly.

"We will launch about forty lawsuits this week. You can choose to wait for a while, or you can choose to join us now and use legal weapons to defend your legitimate rights and interests."

"Don't worry, this is all free, and we will also provide you with more legal assistance and all necessary expenses for the court hearing."

The shop owner scratched his head, "I... can't be sure. I want to discuss it with my family. You can come back tomorrow."

The salesman smiled and left the counter, "I won't take away the coloring page. You can show it to your family."

"Our good fortune is different every moment. We will not sign a long-term contract to restrict your freedom. Choosing us is the most correct decision you have ever made."

"Have a nice day and see you soon!"

The sound of the doorbell ringing could not attract the shopkeeper's attention. He frowned and looked at the coloring pages on the counter, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.
