Chapter 729: Seven hundred twenty-four, let’s make another bet.

He felt that Gu Chen was just robbing money.

The profit margin was too high; daring to sell a product that costs one yuan for ten yuan.

Even the greediest merchant wouldn’t go this far.

His gaze towards Gu Chen started to seem a bit off, as if he was looking at some sort of villain.

At this moment, there was a hint of helplessness on Gu Chen’s face.

"This isn’t extortion, this is called marketing."

Even though he tried to explain a bit to him at this time.

Hoping he would understand what real marketing is.

The success of our rice wine today doesn’t come from cheating and deceiving.

However, obviously everything that Gu Chen was saying right now was a bit over the head of this woman.

He simply couldn’t grasp the so-called marketing Gu Chen was talking about.

But at this moment, Gu Chen continued, "Actually, we’re just doing some simple educational business, nothing special."

"Then I want to ask you, if your company comes to Haicheng, will it still be the same price?

Let me tell you, there are really not a few companies doing liquor business in Haicheng, if your product doesn’t cut it, you won’t be able to sell a single bottle here."

This woman asked Gu Chen seriously.

However, Gu Chen didn’t show any reaction upon hearing this.

Instead, he responded indifferently, "The price will of course not change; it will be the same in any city.

This is the clever part of marketing tactics; no matter what the circumstances, as long as the marketing is done well, the product will always have its market."

Gu Chen was very confident in his own marketing, even believing that marketing could make a product transcend its quality as an important checkpoint.

"I don’t buy it. Everyone in Haicheng is worldly, having seen all kinds of liquor.

For ten yuan, you can buy a bottle of quite decent quality liquor, do you think the average Joe would spend ten yuan on your liquor?"

"And do you know, the people who usually buy liquor at this price point are all doing it to entertain guests.

The most important thing when entertaining guests isn’t whether the liquor tastes good, but what brand the liquor is.

They could completely opt for a well-known local Haicheng brand, so why would they buy your novel brand?"

This woman contended with Gu Chen, sounding as if she knew everything.

Gu Chen simply glanced at her and then said, "Our liquor mainly targets young people, we mainly do business with the young crowd."

"Young people don’t have much money, unless they are rich second-generation from Haicheng?"

As the conversation reached this point, he suddenly felt like there was no need to continue talking.

Because he realized that no matter what he said, this Hao Meili in front of him just couldn’t understand.

For Hao Meili, everything that Gu Chen was saying right now was just too complex.

Gu Chen could understand that Hao Meili’s thoughts weren’t wrong, but she was just constrained by the environment she is currently in.

"How about we make another bet?

When your company comes to Haicheng and if it can make it onto our Haicheng annual liquor magazine,

I will buy ten thousand bottles of your liquor and give them to my friends.

If you lose, then you teach me how to make that dish you just cooked."

Hao Meili seemed very interested in making bets, so she said this to Gu Chen at this time.

Gu Chen was stunned upon hearing this, not expecting another bet.

Ten thousand bottles of rice wine, that’s almost a hundred thousand yuan.

At this moment, Gu Chen didn’t know what to say; he just felt that the woman in front of him seemed rather wealthy.

She could bring out so much money as if it didn’t pain her at all.

However, he personally had little interest in making bets.

Because for him, such bets had no meaning whatsoever.

"Are you even a man? Do you dare or not?"

Gu Chen didn’t reply, yet she began provoking him there.

For a moment, Gu Chen turned his gaze towards her.

"Are you sure?"

Gu Chen didn’t want to bet, but if he wanted to give it a try, he could accommodate her wish.

After all, whether he could win or not was almost a certainty.

He believed that marketing tactics were akin to a dimensionality reduction attack; even in Haicheng, not to mention those young people, even the wealthy ones, those who seemed quite seasoned, could definitely be roped in with marketing tactics.

This was Gu Chen’s confidence in himself and in marketing theory.

"Yes, I’m sure of you. If you dare to bet, let’s give it a try,"

she said to Gu Chen very formally.

After hearing this, Gu Chen could only sigh with resignation.

Since she wanted to start this, he couldn’t say much.

"Fine, let’s do it," Gu Chen nodded, agreeing to the matter.

But then Hao Meili quickly added, "When are you coming to Haicheng? Our bet can’t be indefinite, right?"

"Within a month," Gu Chen said.

"You need a month before you can come to Haicheng?" Hao Meili asked him.

But then Gu Chen directly stated, "What I meant by a month isn’t a month to come to Haicheng; I meant within a month to secure a top-three spot in that magazine you just mentioned."

After hearing Gu Chen’s words, Hao Meili looked a bit incredulous.

As if she hadn’t expected Gu Chen to be so bold.

"Fine, then don’t regret it when the time comes. You only have a month. Plus, with all the back-and-forth paperwork you need to handle, that’ll take at least three days. Even if you move your company and bring everyone over,

with so many stores in Haicheng, if you want to cover them one by one, it’ll take at least half a month.

That means, at most, you have less than half a month left,"

she said with a laugh, while doing the calculations.

Even though the bet was for a month, the actual time left for Gu Chen was only half a month.

Gu Chen was not only not selling himself short, he wasn’t even anxious.

"If I say I can do it, then I definitely can. A month might even be stretching it,"

Gu Chen said, and his words made Hao Meili take him even more seriously.

For some reason she didn’t understand, whenever Gu Chen spoke those words, she felt a strange charm radiating from him, attracting her.

This made her feel very peculiar inside.

At the same time, their short conversation also gradually improved Hao Meili’s perception of Gu Chen a bit.

Even in her heart, she had come to regard Gu Chen as a friend.

Although they said they would only stroll for two hours, it ended up being three or four.

Fortunately for Gu Chen, he wasn’t left stranded on the highway.
