Chapter 139 Marketing Strategy
He raised his head and looked at Cheng Yuntao. A hint of uneasiness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly straightened his back and said calmly, "This thing... is... quite delicious."
After a pause, he added awkwardly: "But... I've remembered what happened today. If you run into any trouble in the future, just come to me, I... I can help you." As he said this, he turned his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Cheng Yuntao's eyes, but his little hands were tightly clenching the corners of his clothes, showing his inner nervousness and anticipation.
Cheng Yuntao noticed his awkwardness and thought the child was adorable. With a smile on her face, she replied gently, "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."
Seeing her flat reaction, Shaobing became anxious. He turned around and said proudly, "I'm not kidding you! There's no beggar in Junhua City who doesn't know me. If I want to know the news in those corners, it's just a matter of a word."
Cheng Yuntao's heart moved, and the long-missing Shen Shulan appeared in her mind. She leaned forward slightly, looked into Shaobing's eyes, and said, "Then sister really wants to ask you for help with something."
"Hmph, tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I will definitely help you!" Shaobing crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his chin, and said in a nonchalant manner.
Cheng Yuntao nodded and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Wait until this time tomorrow and come here. I'll bring you something delicious and give you the portrait. Please keep an eye out for me and see if you can find any information about this person."
"That's all? Leave it to me!" Shaobing patted his chest with a confident look on his face. "I promise, in Junhua City, as long as he shows up, I'll be able to get information for you." After saying that, he curled his lips again and muttered softly, "But don't forget to bring me some delicious food, otherwise I won't have any motivation."
Cheng Yuntao looked at his arrogant look and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your hard work, go back quickly and be careful."
"I know, stop nagging." Shaobing waved his hand, turned around and walked away quickly. After walking a few steps, he turned back and shouted, "Don't forget the delicious food!" Then, he hummed a tuneless little tune and disappeared around the corner in a nonchalant manner, but his back revealed an excitement that he could not suppress.
Cheng Yuntao looked at the direction he left, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, hoping that Shaobing could really bring her news about Shen Shulan.
After watching Shaobing leave, Cheng Yuntao turned around and returned to her stall. At this time, Jiang Yu had almost cleaned up the stall, with only a few miscellaneous items still being sorted out.
Seeing her return, Jiang Yu straightened his back and said with a smile: "Yun Tao, that was the little beggar we met a while ago, right?"
Cheng Yuntao raised the corner of her mouth, nodded slightly, and responded: "Yes, it's him."
"I still remember that kid. He had a very stubborn temper. It was only because you had a good temper that you went over to take care of him. I had originally planned to leave the yogurt for Xiaozhu and Xiaoli, but now, no one can eat it." Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly. To be honest, he didn't like the little beggar very much.
Cheng Yuntao patted Jiang Yu's arm gently and said softly, "Jiang Yu, don't say that. Shaobing may look a little stubborn, but he's not a bad person at heart. Besides, he knows a lot of beggars in Junhua City. They're all over the city, so he's well-informed."
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly saying this? Could it be... that you plan to ask him for help?"
Cheng Yuntao nodded slightly, her eyes firm: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I want to ask him to help me find someone."
Jiang Yu reacted immediately, his eyes widened instantly, and his voice unconsciously lowered: "Could it be that the person you are talking about is the one on the wanted poster a while ago?"
Cheng Yuntao's face was solemn as she slowly uttered one word: "Yes."
She raised her head slightly and looked at the street shrouded in darkness, her eyes filled with worry and anticipation. "Shen Shulan has been missing for so long, no one has seen him alive, and no one has found his body. I have no news. Shaobing and the others are in the city, and they have a wide range of sources. Maybe they can find out something."
Jiang Yu frowned, looking a little worried: "Yun Tao, this matter is not simple. The reward for his life is shockingly high. It's obvious that someone is aiming for his life and will not give up until they achieve their goal..."
"I know this is risky, but Shulan is my good friend. I can't just watch her disappear like this. Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, I have to give it a try."
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily: "Okay, since you've made up your mind, then I support you. However, we have to keep a low profile and not let the people above us find out."
"Well, I know."
……
The two men pushed their stall and walked slowly back in the night. The lanterns on both sides of the street emitted a dim light, illuminating the way forward for them.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yu couldn't contain his confusion and asked, "Yun Tao, I really don't understand. Business is so booming tonight, and everyone is scrambling to buy our cheese. Why don't we take this opportunity to make more and sell more? Isn't this just a waste of a good opportunity to make money?"
Cheng Yuntao's lips curled slightly as she patiently explained, "Jiang Yu, doing business isn't just a simple matter of buying and selling. There are many tricks involved. Think about it carefully. It's hard for us to develop a special interest in things that are readily available and can be bought whenever we want. But when something is constantly out of stock, the situation becomes completely different."
"We limited the cheese to 50 pieces, and when customers saw how much they were in short supply, their curiosity was piqued. They were undoubtedly wondering, 'What's so special about this cheese, and why is it so popular?' This curiosity drove them to learn more and try it."
Jiang Yu frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Cheng Yuntao continued, "Furthermore, people tend to follow the crowd. Look at tonight, when everyone sees everyone around them rushing to buy yogurt, they subconsciously assume it's a great value. If everyone else is buying, it seems like they're not fitting in. This psychological effect encourages more and more people to join the rush to buy."
"Those who didn't buy anything today will keep thinking about it and come early tomorrow, just like everyone at the theater is eager to know the plot before a new play starts. This way, our stall can stay popular every day, attracting new customers and keeping old customers interested."
When Jiang Yu heard this, his eyes were filled with admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "That makes sense!"
