The attendant was thinking in his heart that it was not his own arrangement! Once that person came in, with great familiarity she had walked into the Tranquil Room on her own, she seemed even more familiar with this store’s layout, as compared to him who was working here.
“Second floor then second floor it is.” The manager swept his robes and quickly walked up the stairs, as he walked he said, “Bring over the best armaments, also bring in the accounts for the past two days.”
The attendant cried out loud, “Look at it now?”
“Yes, now.” As he said it, his other hand had already pushed the door open and when he saw the familiar back, he smiled, “Big Boss, you finally came.”
Big Boss?
He attendant raised his head sharply, a glint of unconcealed shock flashed by.
This person was actually the illusive Big Boss of Profound Heaven!
The attendant felt it hard to believe as his gaze swept by hww once more. Later, he would need more time to digest this big news and calm himself down.
His Big Boss…. wasn’t a man…and wasn’t a heroic martial cultivator.
It was actually a young lady that her age had not even reached !
Where was the said waist that was as thick as a bear?
Where was the said wraggly white hair?
Where was the said peerless expert?
Where was the said ugly countenance that was why he never showed his face?
Their Big Boss was one that could just win over countless people with based just on her face….
“Uncle Zhang.” Hww smiled and reached out to shake hands with the other managers and looked in the direction of the attendant.
The attendant was in a daze, his heart was thinking that even her voice was so pleasant to hear.
Manager Zhang smacked his back and said, “Why are you still dallying here for? Hurry and bring those things I’ve told you to bring.” After he speaking, he turned towards hww and smiled. “This is the new apprentice that I have just received, he has just started so he is not familiar with many things.”
Hww smiled and laughed out as she said, “He’s not bad, he can be a mascot for the store.”
The attendant thought that he was dreaming, he…had he just been praised by his idol? This can’t go on, after he brought the accounts over, he had to go down and run a few rounds!
When the manager saw that his attendant went down smiling to himself in a daze, he could only helplessly shake his head and said to hww: “The moment this old slave received Boss’ letter, I had immediately rushed back. It’s just that I do not know what does Boss mean by pulling in the net?”
“Old Zhang, enough already, not all our brothers have arrived yet, do you intend to try and cheat our Boss to give you a private cla.s.s?” Manager Wei, a burly man walked up.
Hww saw that the few others had also arrived and closed the umbrella in her hand and said, “You should all know that the Martial Qi compet.i.tion is about to begin. Compared with the other armament hops in the industry, our business is indeed not bad. However, we are still performing a little less than what I had hoped for, that is why starting from today, we are going to change our business philosophy. From this moment on, the only thing we are going to focus on is to stir the market!”
“Stir the market?” Manager Wei did not fully understand and asked, “Our Profound Heaven’s influence in the market is very big, everyone is wrecking their brains to try to get their hands on an armament from us. In the entire capital, who doesn’t know our big name? If one hasn’t heard of our great name, then they are labelled as country b.u.mpkins.”
Hww put down the umbrella in her hands even though her action was light, but because it was a superior armament, it immediately changed the airflow all around.
“That’s not enough.” She said.
“That’s not enough?” Manager Wei opened his eyes in bewilderment and immediately turned his head to look at Manager Zhang.
Even the unusually calm Manager Zhang didn’t understand what she meant and they could only wait for her to explain further.
Hww tapped her slender fingers on the table and when she raised her head up,the sun had started to set and through the large windows that reached from the floor to the ceiling, the entire scene was as if it was a backdrop that was specially built and staged for her. “Things that are more difficult to attain, have more value. From today onwards, stop all productions of armaments. Tell them that from now on, we will only sell five armaments and implement a members.h.i.+p. We will use auctions to auction away our armaments and we will only invite one hundred gold members to partic.i.p.ate in each auction. If one wants to take a look, that can be done but one must reserve a seat in advance.”
“This…isn’t this a little too daring?” Manager Wei was at a loss for words when he heard her explanation. No one has ever done business in this manner before and since the beginning when they had started, they have been told by their Big Boss that customers were always first, but now this seems to be the complete opposite. To make those dignitaries fawn over them instead, was it even possible?
Not to mention, those people were not only rich, some were even n.o.bles who held power in the imperial court, would they accept such a system?
However, he had to admit that if this idea was successful, they would immediately break away from their current prestige and take a big leap into the ranks of those shops that had hundreds of years of history!
Just the thought of it is exhilarating!
Hww glanced at him and smiled deviously, “Over at our place, there’s a term called ‘customization’. There’s also another term called ‘limited edition’. Manager Wei, remember that this ‘customization’ and ‘limited edition’ reflects one thing. It represents that there is only one of its kind and it would show one’s status and prestige. It tells the world that they are able to own something that no one else is able to get their hands on, that is why there wouldn’t be any problems, let’s take this opportunity and fish up a huge haul!
At that moment, Manager Wei felt that this lady was not like a businessman in front of him. She had this fighting spirit and unique temperament that ordinary ladies didn’t have. She was a blaze that blizzed through the battlefield, awe inspiring and magnificent.
She was like a Queen standing behind, devising her plan and instructing the generals and soldiers.
This time round, it looks like the entire business scene in the capital would fall into turmoil….
Once the new limited edition structure of Profound Heavens was rolled out, it was met fervently by many and as hww had sold the idea of ‘one of its kind’ that symbolizes status and prestige, it had attracted a lot of attention and adding on to the fact that the Martial Qi Compet.i.tion was nearing, it had stirred the curious hearts of everyone. Even for those who had no need of any armaments also wanted to have a look at these limited edition armaments, seeing them would leave them no regrets this life.
Even the Retired Emperor had moved and had sent people to reserve a seat for him, so that he could see for himself what these ‘legendary armaments’ were.
“Big Boss, is this fine?” Manager Zhang was holding a pure silver card and handed it over to hww.
She held it closer and flipped it around with her fingers and her lips curved upwards, “Not bad, when you hand it out, remember to tell them that only money would be accepted, in our eyes, names and status aren’t worth anything.”
“Yes.” Manager Zhang lowered his head slightly. To be honest, he never thought that such a card would be bought, but things were beyond his imagination. Now the entire capital were talking about one thing, this silver card. In their eyes, this silver card had fast been became a status symbol…
