Of course Hong Yanwu can see what everyone is thinking, but he won't talk about it now. Because whether it is suitable or not, it will be more convincing to calculate the general ledger at night.
So this afternoon, he and others continued to squat in front of the cinema. As long as people came to the window to buy tickets, he would ask people to go up and ask questions.
He would teach anyone who had trouble answering questions, and he would praise anyone who did something well, mainly focusing on practice.
Through this incident, he soon discovered a pattern, that is, when it comes to selling tickets, "war criminals" are generally stupid, while those who work as "Buddhas" are easier to get started and are even quite talented. .
For example, "Little Wife", "Xiao Shunzi", and "Xiao Baizi" are all very exciting and addictive.
But in addition to "Naughty", Chen Liquan, "Sanbengzi" and "Chop Knife" can fight, but they seem quite uncomfortable. If they are clumsy and clumsy, and are too embarrassed to speak, then they can't ask for a high price.
So even if they can make a deal, it will basically be based on the bottom line he set - 35 cents, a "go" ticket. This is because they kept silent, and the other party saw that there was really nothing left to talk about, so that the deal could be concluded.
From this, Hong Yanwu suddenly understood a problem.
In the open years, most of the people who got along best among the people in the world were masters with "Buddha" origins. This actually makes sense.
Their adaptability and eloquence are the most important and most useful skills in the transformation of society from the "real economy" to the "oral economy".
On the contrary, "war criminals" who were good at violent methods in the past have gradually lost their usefulness due to the overall changes in society, and it is difficult for them to realize that they need to change themselves, so a tragic end is inevitable.
This is enough to illustrate the truth that people always have to keep learning and must adapt to society and change themselves, otherwise they will be eliminated by society!
For the whole afternoon, Hong Yanwu and the others guarded the ticket window and "sold" more than 150 tickets, which doubled the profit on average. This means that I have already earned thirty yuan without doing much.
But this is just the beginning, because the tickets that were "walked" in the afternoon were all bargains between each other in a calm manner. The people who bought the tickets were very tight-lipped, and Hong Yanwu and the others also bought tickets with poor seats. The real excitement of the deal has to be seen before the opening.
However, when that time comes, there is something special worth noting. For this reason, Hong Yanwu gave everyone another training class in advance.
He mainly focused on the following four points.
First, there is no need to work hard to make up a story before the show starts. If others don't buy it, just pull it down. There's no need to force it. Because as the admission time approaches, someone will always pay for a ticket. Those hesitant owners saw it and were worried that the tickets would be sold out, so they naturally became anxious without any effort to persuade.
Second, not only can the bottom line be raised one notch for the upcoming ticket price, but as the time approaches, the ticket price will also gradually increase. This will make people feel that the longer they wait, the more they will suffer, and it can also encourage people who are waiting to buy tickets. At that time, just giving those who have been waiting for a long time a small discount will be enough to appease their dissatisfaction.
Third, before the event, there may be other people transferring the tickets sporadically. In this case, they should try to receive the tickets in their hands as politely as possible. If the other party sells to someone else, there can be no dispute, otherwise it will be a small loss.
Fourth, even at the last moment of the opening, the price of unsold tickets must not be reduced to stop losses. Because once this is discovered, people who bought tickets in advance will be dissatisfied. In the future, some people will definitely be cheating and deliberately wait until the show starts before buying low-price tickets. The gain outweighs the loss.
Hong Yanwu's analysis explained the principles of human nature very clearly, and it also gave this group of people a lot of knowledge and benefited a lot.
It’s just that everyone is not blindly optimistic about whether they can successfully sell the tickets. They can only truly recognize these truths after actual verification.
Just like that, it soon arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Half an hour before the opening, as more and more people gathered in front of the cinema, Hong Yanwu took people to wait across the street, and the first wave of ticket buying climaxes began.
"Who wants a ticket, fifty cents a piece..."
The first person to appear was Chen Liquan, who had fifty tickets in his hand. He gave tickets to others when they paid, and shook his head when asked. He was sure of the price, and he only knew this one sentence, and didn't talk about anything else at all. Therefore, more people ask about the price and less people are willing to buy.
Coincidentally, at this time, another young man came with a ticket transfer. Probably because his date with his girlfriend had changed, he sold two tickets at an even price.
This naturally gives most people unrealistic hopes, thinking that there is still time and they may have better luck. They all lost interest in Chen Liquan.
As a result, Chen Liquan wandered around twice before taking about thirty shots. He turned around and came back.
It was a bad start, everyone was a little worried when they saw it. But Hong Yanwu was quite relaxed. He took the ticket from Chen Liquan's hand and lit a cigarette for him to comfort him.
Until seven or eight minutes passed. At Hong Yanwu's signal, "Xiaobaizi" went out again with the movie tickets for Chapter Sixty, but this time the shouting changed.
"Six cents, six cents a piece!..."
When people waiting for tickets heard the price, they couldn't help but get angry. When they found out that a young man was shouting, many people scolded him. "You kid are going too far. The guy just sold it for 50 cents, why are you selling it for 60 cents?"
"He is him, and I am me. Tickets are selling out less and less anyway! If you don't buy it, you will lose it!" "Xiaobaizi" replied, ignored it, and just continued to yell and ask questions in a circle.
Soon, some couples who had just arrived began to buy tickets. Remembering what "Xiaobaizi" said just now, many people relaxed their attitude and started to buy tickets.
"Xiaobaizi" is not stubborn at all. Some people who came early offered to buy them for 50 cents. When there were many people, he shook his head, but he would sell them when there were no other people around. Just like that, more than sixty pictures were sold. Sold out quickly.
Finally, he took four people to look for Hong Yanwu on the road because he only had one ticket left in his hand.
At this time, everyone felt much more at ease and felt that if nothing unexpected happened, the tickets should be sold out.
Soon, it was 5:15, and "Shunzi" appeared on the stage with the remaining 100 tickets. This time the shouting was raised even higher, to eight cents apiece.
At this time, there was a sea of people inside and outside the cinema gate. Although the ticket price was already a bit scary, some people had such a strong desire to watch the movie that they still came around to inquire about the price.
So after being besieged by everyone talking about it, the price of Shunzi was reduced to 60 cents, and in an instant, thirty cards were sold.
"Shunzi" is also a wizard. Seeing that the momentum is very strong, I used it on the spot and made up advertising slogans.
"If you want to buy it, buy it quickly. If you don't buy it, it's gone. It's a rare opportunity, buy a ticket to see the beauty of Hong Kong! Smile again and again, Tang Bohu's soul reaches the sky..."
Good guy! Even the lyrics of the movie are out, and the slogan is quite tempting.
In this way, some people who had been waiting for a long time were also shaken by the "hooking up", and the crowd surrounded them with "hoorahs". But at this time, the price reduction of "Shun Zi" is very low, at least 70 cents per piece.
Some people began to hesitate again because of the price of a pound of pork, but Hong Yanwu did something immoral at this moment. He and the "naughty boy" began to act as "shills", dressing up as ticket buyers and crossing the road to disrupt the situation.
"Liu Mao, brother, please be low, I'll take care of all the six cents!" Hong Yanwu shouted as he crossed the road from a distance.
When the people surrounding Shunzi heard this, they subconsciously quickly paid for it.
"Naughty" also started to act now, he came from the other direction. "Brother, I'll give you sixty-five cents, don't give him your votes, I want them all too..."
People are rushing to grab everything. "Shunzi" didn't raise his head at all, just collected money and gave tickets, and more than thirty tickets were shot again. But his words continued to stir everyone's hearts.
"Your price is too low, I won't sell it! There isn't much left anyway, seven cents, at least seven cents!"
Yes, and seven or eight hands came over with money to exchange tickets.
But Hong Yanwu knew that he had to do a good job, so he didn't stop. He crossed the road and quickly walked up to him, and deliberately squeezed "Shunzi"'s hand.
"Don't sell it. Do I want it all if I don't tell you?"
Those who had not bought tickets were naturally anxious when they saw it, and they protested together.
"Naughty" didn't just watch. When he came over, he also grabbed Hong Yanwu's clothes and pretended to argue with him.
"What's going on with you? Why are you robbing me? I'll **** slap you..."
"Hoola"!
While Hong Yanwu and the "naughty boy" were having a fake argument, the people waiting to buy tickets became completely excited, and a pair of hands holding banknotes surrounded "Shunzi" as if he were in a cage.
"Shunzi" took the opportunity to quickly go out and vote. The crowd followed him and moved to one side, quickly separating Hong Yanwu and the "naughty boy".
"The last ten pictures! The last ten pictures! There is no shop like this after passing this village..."
With the last shout of "Shunzi", an extremely crazy voice appeared!
"One piece! I'll give you one piece! Give it to me first, I want two!"
"One dollar and two! I want the last one..."
In this way, there was no chance for "Little Wife" to perform the finale in the last five minutes, and all the 200 or so movie tickets for this show were sold out.
Basically, the average price is 65 cents. Profit of ninety yuan! Just a lot more!
The next two games were similar. All the 500 tickets left were successfully sold, and not a single one was left. The total profit for this day totaled 308 yuan!
