Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 38 A clever plan
While they were spinning around, Wang Xi gave Li Jieman and the others some instructions on how to fool the Bai family father and daughter, and also found some props. He was an expert in this area, after all, he was a screenwriter, and fooling people was just a piece of cake for him.

The Bai family father and daughter were uneasy when they saw these little devils return, since Mr. Wuming was not here.

But when they heard that they had brought the nameless man's brilliant plan, they became excited again.

"Did you all understand?"

Standing on the table, Li Jieman looked down at Bai Siyong and Bai Ningsu and asked them a question.

Bai Ningsu looked up with her pure and lovely face, and said blankly, "Isn't this just the story of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"

Bai Siyong nodded awkwardly.

Where's the promised brilliant plan?

How come it's just a little story that everyone knows?
Wang Xi, who was sitting to the side eating and drinking, suddenly put down his chopsticks, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said, "So, what do you think?"

The father and daughter both turned their heads to look at Wang Xi, their eyes filled with confusion.

Wang Xi sighed, "You really have no sense of shame at all. Don't you realize this is an insult to you?"

Bai Siyong asked in surprise, "Is this a sarcastic remark about us?"

"Am I praising you? I was afraid of hurting your self-esteem, so I tried to be subtle, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless."

Wang Xi shook his head speechlessly, then waved to Li Jieman. Li Jieman immediately jumped down, and the moment the fat man landed, it seemed as if the whole room shook.

Wang Xi glanced at the fat man with a sullen expression, then stepped onto the stool and stood up.

Seeing that they had made the tables and chairs dirty, Bai Ningsu pouted and said, "Do you really have to stand on the table to talk?"

Wang Xi replied matter-of-factly, "This is a lecture; aren't teachers always aloof and superior?"

Bai Ningsu wanted to argue, but Bai Siyong stopped her. Bai Siyong then said in a humble voice, "Please teach us, young master."

"That's more like it. Don't worry, you won't be at a disadvantage."

Wang Xi coughed twice. "The story I just told you was to make you realize how foolish you are right now."

Even if the current situation in the store is my fault, as business people, you shouldn't just sit idly by. You need to take the initiative and attract customers to your store.

Bai Ningsu puffed out her cheeks and said, "I would like to hear your insights."

"I like to hear that."

Wang Xi chuckled and said, "The current predicament facing the store is none other than my own. So, ordinary customers shouldn't even think about coming here. They absolutely won't dare to come until the store's business improves."

Bai Ningsu thought to herself, "He's gotten arrogant."

Then Wang Xi said, "Therefore, we need to attract some special clients."

Bai Siyong asked curiously, "Special client?"

"Exactly."

Wang Xi said, "Not everyone fears me. There are many who are not afraid of me, and they also have money. We can find a way to attract them."

Bai Siyong said awkwardly, "Young Master Wang, most people in the West Market are afraid of you. Those who are not afraid of you are usually in the East Market."

Wang Xi said, "Whether it's the West Market or the East Market, as long as our food and wine are of high quality and unique, they will come."

"liquor!"

Bai Ningsu said.

Wang Xi nodded and said, "That's right. It's our new wine, and that's our winning formula."

Bai Ningsu said, "But in my opinion, this wine is not enough to attract the nobles of the East Market to come here."

Wang Xi said, "It might not be possible to do it with just wine, but with some publicity, it is entirely possible. And this is the brilliant plan that you are giving me."

Having said that, he pulled a white cloth from his waist and unfolded it.

"it is good!"

"wonderful!"

Li Jieman and Wang Shuang immediately stood up and cheered.

Bai Ningsu was startled by them, but when she looked up, she saw three big characters written on it: "Hero's Wine"!
What's so good about it?

What's so clever about it?

"Hero's Wine?" Bai Siyong pronounced each word carefully.

“Indeed, simply giving this name to our new wine will turn the tide.”

"what?"

Bai Ningsu asked in surprise, "Is this really an idea that you came up with, sir?"

“Of course,” Li Jieman said. “We couldn’t have come up with such a brilliant idea.”

The father and daughter exchanged a glance.

Bai Siyong said, "Please forgive my ignorance, I am not aware of the mystery involved."

Wang Xi asked, "What are the special features of the new wine?"

"Rich and strong."

"What kind of person do these traits fit?"

Bai Ningsu thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "A military general."

"Completely correct."

Wang Xi said, "We can use this as a promotional tool, packaging the wine as something that only heroes deserve, and that anyone who hasn't drunk it can't be considered a hero. If you don't drink Hero's Wine in your life, you're not a hero at all."

He spoke passionately and eloquently, but the Bai family father and daughter were completely dumbfounded.

Is he an idiot?

"What?"

Wang Xi said, "You guys should give me some kind of response!"

Bai Siyong thought to himself, "Is it really that simple to just pick a name? When did business become so easy?" But he didn't dare say it out loud. After hesitating for a long time, he said tactfully, "But young master, let alone how many heroes there are in the world, even if there are many, it's impossible for them all to come and join us."

"Why are you so inflexible?"

Wang Xi said, "It doesn't matter how many heroes there are in the world. What matters is that everyone wants to be a hero. As long as everyone agrees on this point, it doesn't matter if all the people who come are lowly. We're here to make money, not to find a spouse."

"I see." Bai Siyong nodded, then said to Wang Xi, "This humble one...this humble one may know what the young master means."

"That's fine."

Wang Xi jumped down, saying, "Tomorrow morning, I'll change the glasses and add my line: 'If you never drink the hero's wine, you're nothing but a hero.'"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Bai Siyong nodded repeatedly.

Wang Xi suddenly seemed to remember something, took a token from his waist, and tossed it to Lao Bai, saying, "Take this."

Bai Siyong hurriedly took it, and seeing the number "one" written on it, she couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Wang Xi said, "Make some of these wooden signs. The teacher said that there will definitely be many guests coming here tomorrow. If they can't get a seat, let them take a sign and queue outside."

"A queue?" Bai Siyong asked in surprise.

"It's not just about queuing."

Wang Xi said, "Moreover, at the beginning, we could only sell a limited number each day, and it would be about fifty tables a day."

Bai Ningsu asked in shock, "Can we sell that many?"

Bai Siyong said, "We probably don't have that much wine."

They've been preparing for so many days, and you're just asking for fifty tables? That's a bit ridiculous.

Wang Xi immediately said, "The sir probably thought of this, which is why he allowed you to sell in limited quantities."

The father and daughter were completely fooled.

Wang Xi said, "Oh, tell the bartenders to get ready too, so they won't be caught off guard."

"Young master's reminder is correct, I will certainly remember it."

"That's settled then, we'll be going now."

Wang Xi nodded at Li Jieman and the others, and the four of them immediately got up and left.

"call!"

After they left, Bai Siyong plopped down in a chair, saying, "These young men are really hard to please!"

They didn't even give us money for the meal.

Bai Ningsu glanced at the mess on the table. They hadn't even opened for business yet and had already lost money on a meal. She asked, "Father, do we really have to do this?"

Bai Siyong frowned, somewhat unsure of herself. "What do you think?"

Bai Ningsu pondered, "I don't think this is the idea of ​​the nameless man. Besides, our family's business gives people the impression of being honest and upright. Doing this suddenly might backfire."

“You’re right. Actually, Father is also worried about this. Just because you choose a name doesn’t mean the business will improve. Doing business isn’t that easy.”

Bai Siyong sighed again, "But we don't have a better way right now, so we can only give it a try."
