Chapter 12: The Big Sisters Idea (1)

  "Are the geniuses also going to sign up?" Lin Wanrong furrowed her brow.

  In this day and age, the two words "genius" are a fragrant golden signboard. Anyone who has been given the title of genius, regardless of whether they have any real ability or not, is extremely arrogant in their nature. They read Confucian classics on morality, speak of the romanticism of Qinhuai, and geniuses pursue this kind of life - even if they have a monthly salary of 100 taels of silver, they won't lower themselves to be a servant. But what's going on today? Have these guys gone crazy? How can they so actively go about being a small household servant?

  That uncle was also a born dog, holding Lin Wanrong's four sides and looking at him carefully before whispering in his ear: "Little brother, you don't know the inside story, do you? I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is approaching her 20th birthday and will soon be choosing a son-in-law. These talented young men are all going for this. Think about it, after the old master of the Xiao family passed away, the family was left with only women, except for Mrs. Xiao and her three daughters, there were no male descendants. All the big and small businesses of the Xiao family rely on the eldest daughter to manage. Whoever marries this eldest daughter, won't the vast wealth of the Xiao family become his?"

  Lin Wanrong suddenly let out a long "oh" sound, so that's how it was. This Xiao young lady is beautiful and has a youthful appearance, with many talents, just like the fragrant honey in a flower bud. It's no wonder that all these big and small talented men are like this, just like green flies buzzing around rotten eggs, they're all of the same character.

  Lin Wanrong had seen it on TV and in novels, so-called "thousand gold misses" were all national beauties with heavenly fragrance and beauty like flowers. To be honest, Lin Wanrong didn't quite believe it, beautiful women were scarce goods, how could they be sold by the dozen like they said? They were just a bunch of YY authors.

  "Then may I ask, Uncle, what does Miss Xiao look like?" Lin Wanrong asked quietly.

  "This is indeed someone that no one has ever seen." The uncle hesitated for a moment before answering: "Miss Xiao has been in charge of the Xiao family's business since Mr. Xiao passed away, and she is a low-key person who rarely shows her face, so not many people have seen what she looks like. However, judging from Mrs. Xiao's appearance, Miss Xiao's looks will definitely not be inferior."

  The uncle's eyes shone with a knowing glint, and Lin Wanrong smiled to himself, thinking that this Mrs. Xiao must be incredibly beautiful. Hearing the old man say this, it seemed that these young masters had not yet seen Miss Xiao, and Lin Wanrong's eyes sparkled as an idea occurred to him. Old Wei was forcing him to become a servant, but he wasn't willing to suffer a loss; first, he would use the Xiao family to make some money, which would be a fair compensation for his own grievances.

  Lin Wanrong glanced at the old man and smiled sincerely: "Uncle, although you are very hardworking, but your business skills are still not enough."

  The uncle exclaimed: "Please, young brother, give me some advice."

  Lin Wanrong nodded, looked around and then pulled a young man who was dressed similarly to him and said: "Brother, I have an extra copy of the Xia family's household selection test guide. Just now my mood was too urgent, so I bought one more. Now I'm selling it to you at the lowest price of four coins. You also know that this thing is in high demand today. I just bought it from this old man for five coins."

  The young man's eyes rolled over and he said shrewdly: "These are all second-hand goods, I'll take them for three cents."

  Lin Wanrong showed a "difficult" expression and finally sighed, saying: "Forget it, let's just consider today a complete loss. Alright, brother, we have a deal!"

  Lin Wanrong smiled and handed the road over to the "astute" person, while taking the three copper coins from the "astute" person's hand.

  The old man on the side stared with wide eyes, Lin Wanrong turned around in an instant, and the empty-handed White Wolf had another road guide, and earned another copper coin.

  "Uncle, did you understand?" Lin Wanrong walked up to him with a smile.

  "Great job, young master!" The uncle's face was full of admiration and he said with a sincere tone.

  "This is called marketing strategy, spreading the cost thin and making a profit." Lin Wanrong didn't care if he understood or not, and chose to explain some relatively simpler theories to him.

  Lin Wanrong is the marketing department manager of the company, with dozens of people under his command. These extremely simple theories are naturally at his fingertips.

  The uncle thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand, young master."

  "Uncle, may I ask your surname?"

  "I dare not, old man's surname is Dong, Dong Rende." Uncle respectfully said to Lin Wanrong, not underestimating him at all because of his tattered clothes.

  I'm Dong Rende, and this name isn't just any ordinary good one.

  "Is it Uncle Dong? Hello, I'm Lin Wanrong." Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled.

  "It turned out to be Master Lin, and I was indeed blind to a famous mountain." Dong Rende hastily cupped his fists in respect.

  Lin Wanrong smiled and clasped his fists: "Alright, alright. Uncle Dong, I suddenly had an idea just now, wanting to cooperate with you on a business deal."

  "Go into partnership? Ah, this...this old man doesn't have that much capital." Dong Rende stammered.

  Lin Wanrong's heart was clear, he must have been because of his recent acquaintance with him, and hastily proposed to do business with him, which would naturally raise his suspicions.

  In fact, if it were Lin Wanrong's era, he would have been suspected of being a lunatic for proposing such an idea. On the other hand, looking at Dong Rende's attire, his family is probably not very wealthy either.

  Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Uncle Dong, don't worry, this is a risk-free business between you and me. I'll cover all the costs, you just need to help me with a small favor, and we'll split the profits 50/50 later."

  Dong Shu looked at Lin Wanrong suspiciously, and it was no wonder. With the way Lin Wanrong was dressed, he didn't look like a wealthy businessman at all.

  Lin Wanrong looked at his eyes and understood his thoughts, nodding to him: "Uncle Dong, you come and go on this street every day, I believe your vision won't be bad. As the saying goes, people can't be judged by appearance, and the sea can't be measured with a dipper. If you also have the same vision as others, how can you do big business?"

  Uncle Dong hesitated, and Lin Wanrong seized the opportunity to say: "Heaven is fair, it gives everyone opportunities, but some people have vision, they take a step forward, and the sky is vast, while others shrink back and lose their chances."

  Dong Shu thought about Lin Wanrong's sales tactics just now, and indeed, he was quite skilled. He finally made up his mind and nodded to Lin Wanrong: "Alright, Mr. Lin, I'll listen to you. What do you suggest we do?"

  Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Uncle Dong, first of all, I want to confirm whether this Xiao family's young lady is someone who very few people have seen?"

  Dong Da Shu nodded and said, "Indeed, my daughter often makes clothes for the young lady of the Xiao family. She told me that even Mrs. Xiao rarely sees her elder sister."

  "Oh, Miss Qianjin?" Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "She can often get in touch with the ladies of the Xiao family, it's a pity."

  Uncle Dong proudly said: "My family's Qiaoqiao is clever and skilled, and she looks beautiful too. She is famous far and wide, and the ladies of the Xiao family all like her very much." It can be seen that this daughter is indeed Uncle Dong's treasure, and when he talks about her, his face is full of joy.

  Lin Wanrong wanted to tell his thoughts to Lao Dong, so they had to find a quiet place. Dong Rende looked at Lin Wanrong and said: "If the young master doesn't despise my humble home, please come to my house for a chat."

  This old Dong is a down-to-earth person, and once he makes up his mind, he will go all out. He trusts people without any doubts, and has no worries about Lin Wanrong at all. Instead, he has some grandeur, it seems that Lin Wanrong's vision is not bad.
