Fake socialites sell me fake luxury, but I can make the fake look real.
Chapter 58: Competitive hiring, bottom-ranking elimination, and a booming business!
When Lü Yang returned to the store from the gym, it was only 2:15 PM. He immediately opened the door and prepared to go to work.
In the past two days, not only has Lü Yang's physical fitness improved by leaps and bounds, but his business has also become even more booming. He has relaxed his standards for purchasing goods, not only eyeing Chanel and Hermes bags that cost two or three hundred thousand yuan, but also some cheaper luxury bags.
However, in Lü Yang's view, the fact that cheap luxury bags don't earn enough profit is only one of the problems, or even the simplest one.
The main task is communicating with clients, which is more tiring than dealing with high-end luxury goods. Basically, those who can afford high-end luxury bags are wealthy women, socialites, or at least top-notch fake socialites who have received real training.
These people are wealthy, and although some may be unreasonable, they are generally easygoing, have great figures, and possess exceptional charisma. Even if they don't intend to buy a bag or don't want one, they won't pester you or cause trouble.
However, some customers who want to buy cheap bags, or those who sell bags, can haggle for a long time over a few hundred yuan, trying to bargain on the spot, which has put a lot of pressure on Lü Yang recently.
If it weren't for the money he could make, he would have quit long ago and gone back to his old profession.
They only trade high-end luxury bags, including ultra-luxury bags.
After some thought, Lü Yang decided to take the old approach and rely on his old clients to recommend him.
Furthermore, Lü Yang actually has some candidates in his hands. Previously, three newly recruited fake socialites had come to Lü Yang's store together to "check in".
The two sides maintained contact, but the friends in each person's circle, even if they were slightly better, were not much better than Lu Yang and still did not meet the threshold for trading with him, so they could not help him. However, after Lu Yang changed his mind, these three people became very useful. With the three Ding sisters acting as intermediaries, not only was the communication cost reduced, but the client's trust was also high, making the transaction simpler. Basically, as soon as they received the goods, the transaction could be carried out.
Over the course of two days, ten out of the thirteen bags that Lü Yang acquired were recommended by Ding Yan and others.
Seeing this, Lü Yang promised that he would give out double the bonus to the top salesperson in a couple of days.
Competitive selection process, bottom performers eliminated!
Put some pressure on the other party.
Lu Yang sat behind the counter, poured himself a cup of tea, and the fragrant aroma filled his nostrils, bringing him a sense of satisfaction.
Just as I was about to take a nap, there was a knock on the door.
The person who entered was a male customer, which gave Lü Yang a boost of spirits. After all, it was not common for a male customer to enter the store alone in this industry. It was usually either a female customer who came alone or a male customer who brought a female companion to buy a bag.
The only ones who would do this are like Gao Bin before, trying to sell high-quality counterfeit bags as genuine ones.
"Boss!"
After the man entered, he greeted Lü Yang with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"What is your surname, sir? Are you here to replace a bag or to buy one?"
Lü Yang immediately smiled and said.
"My surname is Lu, and my given name is Zhe!"
As Lu Zhe spoke, he took a large bag out of his handbag and placed it on the counter.
Upon closer inspection, Lü Yang recognized it as a medium-sized Dior Book Tote classic monogram canvas bag.
This bag is very popular in department stores. It has a large capacity and is sturdy and durable, making it the first choice for many working women.
Lu Yang remained outwardly calm, but secretly activated the detection function. Although these bags were cheaper, there were still high-quality fakes available, so it was better to scan them.
【Ding dong! 】
[Item: Dior Book Tote Medium, classic monogram canvas!]
[Authentication Result: Authentic!]
[Problem Analysis: The overall condition is extremely poor. The canvas of the bag has extensive pilling, the handles are stained with sweat and have turned black due to prolonged handling, the bottom corners are severely worn, there are unidentified brown stains inside the bag, and due to careless storage, the bag is severely collapsed and deformed. The dust bag and authenticity card are missing, and accessories are also missing.]
[Official retail price: ¥25,000 - ¥28,000!]
[New market capitalization of 95%: ¥14,000 - ¥18,000!]
[Secondhand market value: Due to its extremely poor condition, we recommend ¥5,000 - ¥6,000!]
Hearing this, Lü Yang frowned as he looked at the mangled bag. "Brother Lü, you've ruined such a nice bag. I don't understand why you, a grown man, always carry it around like this?"
Seeing Lu Yang's helpless expression, Lu Zhe also gave a wry smile and said, "Why would a grown man like me carry this? My ex-wife bought it before. We got divorced a while ago, and the court ruled that each of us should own half of the property. These designer bags were awarded to me. I don't know much about luxury goods. I did look them up online, and they did look expensive, but I didn't think much of it at first."
"But later I found out that I had lost a lot of money. There is a world of difference between this product in the official store, the second-hand market, and the heavily used second-hand products. I have no use for it. I think I will sell it all and make things easier."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang showed a hint of sympathy, and his tone became much more friendly: "Brother Lu, life isn't easy either. It's not easy for anyone when they're away from home. Besides this, how many other packages do you have at home? If it's a large quantity, I can offer you a higher price."
Lu Zhe was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up and he said, "There are five or six more, all Hermes, LV and the like. I don't know much about them myself, but I've used them all. How many can you offer, brother?"
After a moment's thought, Lü Yang realized that if there really was a Hermes bag, he would be rich. Hermes bags are generally not cheap, so he immediately said generously, "We're all straightforward people, so I won't beat around the bush. This Book Tote bag is usually priced at 5,000 in other stores, but I'll buy it for 7,000. As long as you agree, we'll sign the contract and transfer the money now. If there are really five or six bags later, I'll pay the highest price for them all."
Lu Zhe was overjoyed. He had visited many secondhand luxury stores today, and the prices were indeed around one or two thousand yuan higher.
"Okay, we're both straightforward people, let's just sign it!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhe immediately agreed: "I'll get all the other bags after I've tidied up another day."
After signing the papers, Lü Yang saw Lu Zhe off. Looking at the heavily worn Dior on the counter, Lü Yang felt a surge of pride.
This bag is in mediocre condition, but it has a special feature: it can be refurbished with the system and instantly become brand new. Even during a clearance sale, it's easy to sell for 16,000 or 17,000 yuan, making a profit of tens of thousands of yuan in a single transaction.
Furthermore, if the other party wasn't lying to me, this would be a big client!
Even if the other party only has this one bag, even if they earn a thousand less, they can still make around ten thousand.
As long as you have one genuine bag, you're guaranteed to make a profit of 1,000 yuan.
"Practice Makes It Real, Start!"
With a flash of light, the Dior canvas bag, which was originally pilled, blackened, collapsed, and deformed, was completely refurbished in Lü Yang's hands. The canvas fibers became tight and smooth, the monogram pattern was clear and bright, and even the stains inside were cleaned. It was completely like a new bag.
Seeing this, Lü Yang placed it on the display shelf, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Just an hour later, another young and sweet female customer knocked on the door.
"Hello, boss, I'm here to cover for a blunder!"
