Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money
Chapter 57: Lin Yuxi resolves crisis with moderation
Boss Ma was shut up by Lin Yuxi. He didn't know whether to respond or not. He couldn't say this easily.
Shopkeeper Xu who was standing aside couldn't help but show approval in his eyes. As for Lin Yu, he was just here to make up for the incident. He still hadn't figured out the situation, but he knew a little about Lin Yuxi's bad temper, so he was not surprised.
Boss Ma took a long time to utter a sentence:
"I don't discuss business with women. Call Master Lin out. You are selling inferior goods as good ones and you still refuse to admit it. If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Boss Ma, you are a forgetful person. I just said that my father is out on business, so I am the one who will handle this matter today. Do you think that I am a woman and that you look down on me and think that I am incapable of doing business? If that is the case, then you should tell us the problem. This way, we can both solve the business problem and see if a woman like me has the ability to solve the problem. It is not a waste of words here."
Upon hearing this, Boss Ma's face turned red as liver, and he glared at Lin Yuxi, ready to curse.
Lin Yuxi didn't give him this opportunity, and said before him:
"The Lin family has been able to achieve what it has today thanks to the support of Boss Ma and other customers. Boss Ma knows more about the rules of doing business than Yuxi. However, when something happens, we must find a solution. Being quick-witted will only make things difficult. It is better to deal with it calmly. After all, our Lin Family Incense Products is a century-old store. There are hundreds of people waiting to eat at home. We will not destroy our reputation and cut off our own source of income. If I can't give Boss Ma an explanation today, the Lin Family Incense Products' signboard will be here. Boss Ma, you can do whatever you want with it."
Shopkeeper Xu was afraid that Lin Yuxi might contradict herself by saying too much, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
However, seeing that Lin Yuxi was calm and knew when to advance and retreat, and that she had pointed out Boss Ma's faults and then got back to the main topic, he felt a lot more relieved.
When Boss Ma saw Lin Yuxi handed him the ladder at the right time, his anger subsided a little, and he walked down the ladder.
"I ordered 500 boxes of burning incense and 300 boxes of applying incense from the Lin family three days ago. Because we have been working together for a long time and we were in a hurry to use the goods, I did not inspect the goods carefully. I only inspected a few boxes of the top ones and confirmed that they were top-quality incense, so I ordered someone to take them back. I didn't expect that when I used them the next day, I found that they were adulterated!"
Boss Ma was afraid that Lin Yuxi would not believe him, so he took out a box from the truck, opened it and handed it to Lin Yuxi.
Lin Yuxi glanced at it indifferently. She didn't know how to distinguish the authenticity, so she looked at Manager Xu.
Shopkeeper Xu understood and stepped forward to take it.
"Since Mr. Ma thinks our incense is adulterated, why don't we invite him to the front hall to have a cup of tea and test the incense."
Lin Yuxi meant well. It was June and the weather was extremely hot. She was afraid that they would get heatstroke and come back to blame her.
Boss Ma didn't agree.
"Why should I go in with you? Are you afraid that you will find out that the goods are fake and you want me to be the scapegoat?"
Lin Yuxi snorted coldly. She was really judging others by her own standards. She had good intentions, and since the other party didn't appreciate it, she wouldn't force it.
"Since Boss Ma doesn't want to, forget it."
Then he turned around and ordered someone to set the table and move two chairs over. Lin Yuxi pulled Lin Yu to sit on them without any hesitation. Two little maids stood beside each of them, fanning them. They were sipping tea and watching the show while they were inspecting the goods the day before, which made people jealous.
A quarter of an hour later, Shopkeeper Xu finished testing the incense and whispered something in her ear. Lin Yuxi nodded, stood up, and glanced indifferently at the incense ash on the table.
Seeing that the evidence was irrefutable, Boss Ma started shouting again:
"What? You have nothing to say now, right? These are all from your Lin family, you cannot deny them."
Lin Yuxi ignored Boss Ma's shouting and picked up a box to examine it carefully. The words "Lin Family Burning Incense" were clearly printed on the box. Then she asked Shopkeeper Xu:
"Our Lin family is a century-old store. Do we have our own trademark?"
All family businesses pay much attention to their own trademarks, which are a symbol to prove that they are the only one of their kind. The Lin family has been making incense for three generations, so naturally they have their own trademark.
It’s just that these trademarks are public, and their purpose is to make people remember their own signs.
When Lin Yuxi asked this, Boss Ma looked at her with even more contempt. This was something that everyone knew, but she, the young lady of the Lin family, didn't know it.
Of course, what Lin Yuxi asked was not as simple as public trademarks, but whether there were any secret trademarks.
You know, in business, there are many such false accusations, and public trademarks are known to everyone, so it is not difficult to forge them, so hidden trademarks came into being.
Lin Yuxi had not thought about this aspect at first, but she asked this question because of what Shopkeeper Xu said just now. It is true that Boss Ma’s and her own goods are adulterated, but there are differences between the two.
When Shopkeeper Xu heard Lin Yuxi's question, his eyes widened.
He really didn't expect that a girl in seclusion would also understand these business tricks. If he were a man, he would definitely be able to be the master's right-hand man.
Shopkeeper Xu was stunned. Lin Yuxi called him three or four times before he came back to his senses. He nodded and said:
"Since the master took over the business, he ordered people to create a hidden mark under the inner box to prevent the incident today from happening again."
So Lin Yuxi asked people to take out a few boxes from their home, and dug out the incense inside in public. She also pried open the board, and sure enough, she found the words "Lin Family Incense" in a hidden place.
Lin Yuxi raised the corners of her lips slightly, looked at Boss Ma and said:
"Boss Ma wants to seek justice from us. Do you mind if we check the box in the car?"
Boss Ma's face immediately turned ugly. He was in a bad position to nod, and it was also in a bad position not to nod. Wouldn't it prove that he was guilty if he didn't give the test?
Lin Yuxi didn't care whether he agreed or not. She called people to move the goods from the truck and took out the incense and perfume in the box.
After taking apart the box and checking half of the car inside and out, they still couldn't find any trace of the Lin family's secret bid. No one dared to stop unless Yu Xin shouted.
Boss Ma even wanted to die. Although the goods were adulterated, he could still make some money by selling them as defective products. They were actually wasted like this. However, he felt guilty and did not dare to call for a stop.
Lin Yuxi still had a faint smile on her face and waved her hand to let the servants stop.
"Boss Ma, I think you have seen clearly that Boss Ma did buy 500 boxes of burning incense and 300 boxes of applying incense from the Lin family this month. I don't know how Boss Ma is selling these goods. As for the incense brought today, Boss Ma must know better than me where it came from."
Boss Ma had made a huge show earlier, and many idle people stopped to watch the show.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Lin family, but he didn't expect to embarrass himself.
More and more people gathered around him. Boss Ma knew that he was embarrassed, but he was stubborn.
"You said there was a hidden mark on the box, so there was a hidden mark. Who knows if you tampered with it? If you are wrong, you have to admit it. Aren't you disappointing our customers?"
Lin Yuxi looked at Boss Ma coldly: "If Boss Ma still doesn't believe it, why not invite all the customers who have patronized Lin's perfumes? These new boxes don't count, but Boss Ma should believe the boxes from a few months or years ago."
