Chapter 38 The monk buys a comb

"9527, did you say last time that those questions were not given one every day, let's guess?" Fang Ying asked.

"Brother Qian has strange questions. Is it the same as the thirty-text title today? It's really interesting." Ling Yi also said curiously.

"What thirty-month?" Fang Ying asked.

Ling Yi talked about the question Qian Xiaoxing had asked today. Fang Ying and Butler Lu also thought about it, but they couldn't calculate it. Ling Yi told them the answer.

Fang Ying also talked about Qian Xiaoxing's brain teaser, and Ling Yi couldn't answer any of them. However, when it came to the question of a big hole in the sole of his feet, Fang Ying couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Qian is indeed super wise. He can think of these strange questions, and the answers are so appropriate. It's really fun." Ling Yi said in admiration after hearing this.

"This is not called a weird topic. It's called a brain teaser. Seeing that everyone is so interested, I will give you another one today. Everyone listens to it: It's said that four people play mahjong, and one is watching, but the official took away six people. Why?"

"Four fights, one sees, and take six away?" Ling Yi immediately grasped the essence and started thinking after hearing the question.

"Is it a woman who is pregnant?" Fang Ying tried to answer.

"No, but you can think of this and have a lot of brains to learn. Come on, I'll be optimistic about you!" Qian Xiaoxing encouraged.

"Is there another landlord?" Ling Yi also tried to answer, but obviously the answer has not yet jumped out of conventional thinking.

Qian Xiaoxing saw that they were not guessing correctly, so he announced the answer: "The answer is that mahjong is the name of a person. Four people hit one person and one person was watching, so he took six away."

"Haha, the answer is indeed beyond imagination. It's a brain teaser, and this name is also good." Ling Yi said with a smile.

After Ling Yi finished eight rounds, he said he wanted to go back to arrange tomorrow's business and said he would come back to join in with the opportunity. Qian Xiaoxing did not try to keep him. The two discussed tomorrow's business and broke up.

I wonder how Ling Yi would sell this air conditioner? Qian Xiaoxing was still a little curious, but there would be an answer to this question immediately, so Qian Xiaoxing didn't ask too much.

Fang Ying was not satisfied with eight circles of mahjong, and he still had to pester Qian Xiaoxing to play. Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and continue to play, thinking about how he had the potential to accompany the three | accompany him.

The next day, Ling Yi came to make an appointment with Qian Xiaoxing early.

Qian Xiaoxing was still having breakfast. He had just finished a bowl. Xiao Cui's skills were good and he wanted to eat a bowl, so he shouted to the kitchen: "Xiao Cui, give me another bowl."

Xiao Cui was in the kitchen and might not have heard it. Fang Ying saw it and shouted loudly: "Xiao Cui, the beggar is anxious!"

"Who is begging?" Qian Xiaoxing heard this and wanted to say that you are begging, but don't mess with the lady. He has taught enough lessons.

"Aren't you begging? I remember I rewarded you with a penny." Fang Ying laughed.

"You beg for food, and heroes are not afraid of being of low birth." Qian Xiaoxing explained self-deprecatingly.

Ling Yi waited for Qian Xiaoxing to finish his breakfast and brought the contract written in sheepskin. After Qian Xiaoxing signed and approved, the contract between the two began to take effect.

First, Qian Xiaoxing took Ling Yi to the bronze ware shop, then the wooden ware shop, and then found Sun Carpenter and Li who helped make the waterwheel.

After talking with the owner of the bronze ware shop, Ling Yi customized the radiator made by the owner of the bronze ware shop at a price of 4 taels per. The owner of the bronze ware shop also said that in Shandu, he was the only one who could make such radiators.

Based on the principle of mutual benefit, Ling Yi gave him a 40-bit one, but the boss could not take on the job of the radiator customized by others, and the two parties wrote a contract.

Moreover, Ling Yi also said that he would customize a lot in the future, and the boss was too busy to do it and he didn't have much time to take on other people's work.

Ling Yi immediately ordered two. Qian Xiaoxing suggested that the water inlet and outlet pipe outlets be added when pouring. The boss said that the goods could be delivered within two days, and it seemed that the speed was much faster.

Later, I went to the wooden shop. I was familiar with the road and negotiated with the turbine made by the wooden shop owner and customized two.

Regarding this turbine, Qian Xiaoxing has been considering making a fully sealed one, but now he is waiting to use it and then study it when he has time.

After discussing these things, Qian Xiaoxing was very interested in how Ling Yi promoted this freshman air conditioner, so he asked: "Brother Ling is going to sell the first one. I went shopping several streets and asked many people, but I didn't buy it."

"Haha, Brother Qian is a good person to do air conditioners. If you want to sell air conditioners, you are not as good as me. The person you sell has already found the wrong seller. People who do business on the street can't afford it." Ling Yi analyzed.

"Then what are the customer bases of air conditioners? They are just high-ranking officials. But if I want to meet others, they may not necessarily meet me." Qian Xiaoxing didn't think about it, but no one knew him, and it was indeed difficult to sell.

"You are right. The status of workers, farmers, soldiers, scholars, businessmen, and merchants is always at the last. With my current wealth, I cannot ask for those nobles." Ling Yi replied truthfully.

"How to sell it?" Qian Xiaoxing asked in surprise. It turned out that Ling Yi did not have this channel, but seeing his confident look, he felt much more at ease.

"Have you heard of the story of selling combs in the monk temple?" Ling Yi did not give a positive answer.

"Can you sell combs in the monk temple? I haven't heard of it, so talk to me quickly." Qian Xiaoxing asked curiously.

"Once upon a time, there was an old monk and a young monk in the temple. One day, the young monk asked the old monk to tell stories, so the old monk said, "Once upon a time, there was an old monk and a young monk in the temple..." Ling Yi joked.

"Damn, I didn't expect Brother Ling to have a sense of humor, it's just a little worse than me." Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm not kidding anymore. By the way, there are three businessmen who bet to see who can sell combs in the monk temple. The three are also considered business elites. In order to test their abilities, the three of them went to the monk temple to sell them." Ling Yi pulled Qian Xiaoxing into the teahouse on the side of the road, found a table to sit down.

"Well, what's the result? Did you sell it?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

Ling Yi picked up the tea bowl, blew it, and said, "I sold it. The first person sold one, the second person sold ten, but the third person sold one thousand."

"Oh, I really sold it, and I can sell so many of them. Tell me how I sold them all?" Qian Xiaoxing tea didn't drink it and asked anxiously.

"The first one, when I saw a monk scratching his bald head with his hand, I went up to sell it, saying that it would be more comfortable to scratch his hair with a comb. The monk tried it and it was a little different, so he bought one. But when he was selling it like this with other monks, other monks thought it was unnecessary, so he only sold one."

"Well, it's good to sell on demand, at least it can be sold." Qian Xiaoxing concluded.

"The second person found the host in the temple and told the host that when he went to the temple to burn incense, many people who burn incense were blew their hair into chaos, and their undressed faces were disrespectful to the Buddha. He should put a wooden comb in front of the incense table in each temple for good men and women to comb their hair. So the host adopted the suggestion and purchased ten."

"Well, there is no need to create demand and sales, this person is very smart. Tell me how to sell a thousand?" Qian Xiaoxing analyzed.
