Chapter 426: [426] Where do they get so many customers from?_1
Having received two new shipments last night, Tang Feng and the others were busy until late, so they decided to make do and spend the night in the store.
There were two restrooms in the back hall, one designated for men and one for women; it was a bit of a squeeze but there was enough space to sleep.
The next morning, Tang Feng was the first to wake up.
Perhaps because he practiced martial arts, his energy was much more robust than the average person’s, needing only a short period of rest to recover.
Checking the time, it was just past seven in the morning, and the others were still deep in slumber.
Tang Feng quickly washed up and prepared to go out and buy breakfast for everyone.
...
However, as he opened the roller shutter door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
By this time, there was already a dense crowd squeezed tight outside Elegant Pavilion.
Looking over, there had to be at least a hundred people.
He stood there dumbstruck.
He had anticipated that after the broadcast of the TV program, the customer flow would surge.
But he hadn’t expected people to start lining up this early in the morning.
Some people even brought big and small boxes, probably to have them appraised.
He rushed back to the rear hall, waking up Qin Yanan and the rest of the employees.
“What kind of madness is this early in the morning?” Qin Yanan rubbed her sleepy eyes, walking out of the ladies’ rest room.
“Go out and take a look for yourself,” Tang Feng said, deliberately keeping her in suspense.
“What’s there to see outside?” Qin Yanan went out to the front hall, unconvinced.
When she saw the throng of customers waiting outside the door, she too was shocked.
“Does it have to be this exaggerated?”
By then, other employees had also come out, equally astounded.
It took Qin Yanan quite a while to snap out of it. “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and get ready, we’re opening for business.”
“Open this early? We haven’t even had breakfast,” Ge Hui and the others complained on the spot.
“Stop complaining, today you’ll be paid triple wages again,” Tang Feng urged them hastily.
But there wasn’t much joy on the faces of Ge Hui and the others; obviously, triple wages had lost much of their appeal to them.
They had worked late until past 2 a.m. last night and had slept for less than five hours before they had to get up and fight again.
Not even the workhorses on the production team had it this tough.
But under the intimidating influence of the two big bosses, they reluctantly went to wash up.
Ten minutes later, everyone had cleaned up and returned to the front hall, but their eyes were filled with fatigue.
Tang Feng felt deeply apologetic. “I know everyone is very tired, but I hope you can hang in there a bit longer. In a few days, when things calm down, I’ll give each of you a two-week break to get plenty of rest,” he said.
The employees finally brightened up at these words.
“For the sake of the extended break, let’s do this!”
Seeing them energized, Tang Feng went to open the store door.
Watching the surge of people about to rush in, he quickly stopped them and then shouted at the top of his lungs, “Everyone, please calm down, just listen to me for a moment.”
Under his powerful bellow, the crowd gradually quieted down.
Tang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to shout, “I am Tang Feng, the owner of Elegant Pavilion. First, I want to thank everyone for your trust in Elegant Pavilion. Rest assured, we have plenty of stock in our store and guarantee that everyone will be able to make a purchase. But please maintain order, line up, and do not fight or cause a commotion…”
He then began to direct people to queue up.
With so many people, there was no way to line up in a straight line; they had to arrange in an “S” shaped curve.
If viewed from above, it would look like a winding dragon.
And as more customers continued to arrive non-stop, the line grew longer and longer, stretching over two hundred meters.
The entire antique street was astir, and all antique shop owners stopped their business to come over and watch the excitement.
The employees of Shengdingxuan Antique Shop, across the street, were also standing at the door looking over.
“My goodness, aren’t there too many people? Where did they get so many customers from? They couldn’t have hired extras, could they?”
“Didn’t you watch TV last night?”
“What TV? I never watch TV; I played video games last night.”
“Elegant Pavilion was on TV last night, and it was Mao Anyi’s program. Ge Hui promised on TV that Elegant Pavilion guaranteed a hundred percent authentic items and a tenfold refund for any fakes. Just think about how much influence Zhonghai TV and Mao Anyi have? It’s not surprising that so many people are coming here based on their reputation.”
“My lord, a hundred percent authentic? For real? That’s way too exaggerated, isn’t it?”
“Who knows, but Elegant Pavilion is going to make a killing today. Out of all these customers, if even one-fifth of them make a purchase, their sales will go through the roof.”
“Elegant Pavilion used to do so poorly, but ever since Tang Feng arrived, it’s been getting hotter by the day. In contrast, our Shengdingxuan has been on the decline; it’s getting worse every year.”
“Tell me about it…”
A few employees were quietly talking when suddenly they heard the voice of their boss, Pei Tianyuan, from behind, “Aren’t you supposed to be working? What’s with all the nonsense chatter here?”
“We’d like to work too, but there are no customers; they’ve all gone over to Elegant Pavilion,” one employee couldn’t help but complain.
“How dare you talk back? If you don’t go back to work right now, I’ll fire all of you,” Pei Tianyuan scolded fiercely.
The employees grudgingly went back inside the shop.
Pei Tianyuan turned to look at Elegant Pavilion; he had only seen such spectacular scenes at celebrity concerts before.
Who would have thought such a day would come to the front of an antique shop?
He was filled with regret.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
He had previously sensed Tang Feng’s talent and had tried to poach him.
But at the time Tang Feng’s condition was to become the chief appraiser in his shop.
Pei Tianyuan thought the young man was too arrogant; just getting started and already wanting to be chief appraiser, it was a pipe dream.
So he refused without hesitation.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, the roles would be reversed.
The once-unknown rookie was now a hot new star in the Zhonghai Antique Circle.
Now, even if he begged Tang Feng to be the chief appraiser, Tang Feng might not even give his Shengdingxuan Antique Shop a second glance.
