The coward ghost nodded, "I have a vague memory. We hadn't heard of online shopping before, but there were often people coming to school to distribute flyers."
Most of the school brochures were novels.
The students who wanted to buy books held the promotional flyers, which had colorful novel covers, such as "The Left Ear" and "That Kid is Cool"... which were the favorites of girls.
After checking, it will be handed over to the salesperson, who will then proceed to place the order. After a week or two, the novel will be sent by mail.
Of course, besides books, there were also some small accessories like earrings and ear studs, but there were very few clothes and such. People were accustomed to going out to buy clothes and shoes.
Unlike now, many people used to buy things by opening a shopping app, placing an order, making a payment, and waiting for the delivery. They could receive their purchased items in just a few days.
"It can be said that the current convenience of shopping is inseparable from the efforts of the salesmen who worked hard to pave the way for e-commerce in the past."
The coward ghost explained these to Susie.
Susie: "Wow... I learned something new."
Her generation really didn't know how it had come to be like this in the past.
Flatterer nodded and continued,
"Yes, that's right... I started off doing this kind of sales, distributing flyers at schools."
This is easy to handle. The students are very approachable. As long as we find a willing student to take the promotional flyers to the school and help register, they can collect them all back and place the order later.
He helped to place orders online, and both the platform and the store would give him a share.
But these were all minor incidents, later he took on another business line.
"Looking for merchants to settle in." Flatterer said, "Find the owners of those shops and persuade them to open online stores on the platform."
As long as he successfully signed a contract with a company, his commission would be considerable.
"After becoming familiar, the small shop could no longer satisfy me. I wanted to open a bigger store. At that time, there were store ratings, and the platform (company) gave me a ten percent commission for the entry of a purple diamond store."
Correspondingly, what we need to look for is a small-scale company.
"But why would they believe me, believe in the platform? Back then, it was so easy to run a physical store."
"So I had to flatter in various ways, constantly praising, treating to meals and drinks, and even going to the extent of building connections until I was exhausted."
"The male boss boasts about his peak dominance as a successful person, while the female boss boasts about her youth and beauty as a female entrepreneur. Those who are thin marvel at her good figure and how she maintains it, while those who are fat envy her fortunate destiny, as if she has a wealthy and prosperous life."
In short, there were no horses he couldn't capture!
Gradually, his flattery skills became more and more natural, effortlessly making the boss feel elated. There was nothing he couldn't understand with his silver tongue!
"Who knew that one day flattery would be slapped on the horse's leg."
Flatterer was furious: "One day, I saw my ultimate client - a certain boss, accompanied by a young, beautiful and well-built woman."
The boss didn't look bad, just a little older, like a man who has blossomed at the age of forty.
The girl was obviously much younger than him, just in her early twenties.
"I looked at him with envy, thinking to myself that he truly deserved to be a successful person, being able to find such a beautiful woman."
The fickle ghost interjected, "So, this girl turned out to be his daughter?"
Flatterer: "It was so easy! She wasn't his daughter."
After the woman went shopping, he accompanied the boss and chatted on the side.
The boss sneered and said, "Women are all very practical, they are willing to give if you give them some money."
They say women are materialistic, as long as the money is enough, they are willing to be mistresses. They are also very open in bed, willing to do whatever you ask them to do.
"I knew this was an invisible show-off for men, one to flaunt their wealth and another to flaunt their skills in that area. Most importantly, with my years of experience in flattery, I could tell his disdain towards women."
"The essence of flattery is to identify the customer's pain points, things that others are unaware of, especially in terms of concepts... and then give them a good flattery! Hit the nail on the head!"
So many people were flattery, why was he the only one who managed to get ahead by flattery? It was because he learned how to "build a shared value system" with clients.
The boss's disdain for women is the hidden pain.
"I immediately spat out and said, 'Exactly, isn't mistresses just despicable? Like a female dog, only interested in money, and it has to be from a boss like you, others can't do it.'"
"Then he joked, 'Boss, your precious knife is not old yet, it's still well-maintained! I wonder how you managed to do it. Share some tips with me, will you?'"
The ghosts were confused: "What's wrong with this statement?"
It is not to say that the values behind these words are correct, but according to his flattery skills, there should be no mistakes, right?
Flatterer had a gloomy expression on his face, "The problem lies in the word 'mistress' and the phrase 'the sword is not old'."
This boss was difficult to flatter, with a small mind and a vengeful nature.
Not only seeking revenge for the slightest grievance, but also pursuing the thrill of "controlling everything" and determining the life and death of others like an emperor.
"Let's put it this way, there was an employee under him who was caught badmouthing him behind his back. He then had someone severely beat the employee, making it clear to them what it means to have absolute power."
Therefore, he always went to great lengths to please, flatter, and speak kind words.
"Who would have thought that such a person would turn out to be someone else's mistress..."
The fickle ghost: "?"
The bride ghost: "?"
Other ghosts: "..."
Wade: "...Tsk."
