Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 339 - 139: Summer Solstice Approaches, Su Zelin’s 18th Birthday
Campus of Financial Academy, New Era Digital Flagship Experience Center.
Su Zelin stood at the counter, watching Liuu Wanyin not far away, who was smiling and skillfully recommending hardware configurations to a customer. He felt quite gratified seeing her successfully closing the deal according to the customer’s requirement.
Looks like Wanyin has completely overcome her social anxiety. Now, she can communicate normally with others, and her social skills have even surpassed most of her classmates.
The customer took the order sheet to the tech department to assemble the machine. Su Zelin walked over and half-jokingly said, "Wanyin, you’re getting more impressive. Looks like you’ll soon snatch my title of sales champion!"
"No way, Shopkeeper, my sales skills are probably not even half as good as yours. I still need to work hard, and please keep guiding me!"
Liuu Wanyin wasn’t deliberately flattering Su Zelin. Although she felt that her eloquence and courage had made significant progress this semester, comparing to an old pro like him, she would definitely be easily outmatched.
"Alright, Wanyin, today I, your master, shall teach you the ’Three Word Sales Sutra’. May you carry it forward!"
Su Zelin said with a smile.
"Three Word Sales Sutra?"
Liuu Wanyin was very curious; she had never heard of such a thing.
"Yes, these three words are ’Bold’, ’Tactful’, and ’Smooth’!"
"’Bold’ means having guts, ’Tactful’ means being smooth in dealing with people and matters, and ’Smooth’ means being able to talk slickly!"
"Wanyin, you’ve made a lot of progress, but unfortunately, you’re not bold enough, not tactful enough, not smooth enough!"
"But it’s okay. As long as you keep honing these skills, I guarantee you’ll become great!"
Su Zelin said.
"Um, lesson learned, then thank you, master. I’ll brew tea for you as a formal disciple ritual next time!"
Liuu Wanyin covered her mouth and chuckled.
"That’s a must, this Three Word Sutra is something I don’t normally share. It’s only because I see potential in you that I’m teaching it specially!"
Su Zelin stroked his chin and smiled, "Also, besides this, you should eat more and gain a bit of weight!"
"Is this also a sales secret?"
Liuu Wanyin was astonished.
"Yes, gaining a bit of weight will improve your complexion, making you radiant. Your mental state will be completely different. By then, while facing male customers, you might not even need the Three Word Sutra. Just smile at him, and those guys will be so mesmerized they’ll place orders without thinking!"
Only then did Liuu Wanyin realize that Su Zelin was talking nonsense with a straight face.
Being teased, her face turned red out of embarrassment.
Turns out the class monitor likes a bit more flesh...
While joking with Liuu Wanyin, the phone rang. When he checked it, it was Yang Fen calling.
"Wanyin, let’s chat later!"
Su Zelin walked to the side with his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Boss Su."
Brother Xiao Yang’s way of addressing had subtly changed.
After all, the other party had opened such a large digital store, so he had to show some respect.
"Haha, Brother Xiao Yang, you can address me like you used to. It feels weird like this, let’s not bother with that!"
"Alright then!" Brother Xiao Yang was not too formal either, "Just wanted to see, it’s been a while since I last saw Younger Brother Su, wondering when you’ll have time so I can pop by your store for tea."
Su Zelin knew right away that Brother Xiao Yang had ulterior motives.
Even if it wasn’t peak season for computer assembly, Yang Fen would not bother coming all the way to the Financial Academy just for tea.
He must have observed for a while, seeing that New Era still had a steady stream of business, and finally got interested and had the intention of cooperating.
Su Zelin also needed a capable partner.
Kang Baohong was just a capable subordinate, full of enthusiasm but lacking in thought and strategy, which was why he could only become a regional sales manager in Moe East in his previous life, always needing to attach to others and not daring to start his own venture.
But Brother Xiao Yang was different. He was a man of his own ideas and foresight, realizing the diminishing profits in the computer market due to the impact of platforms like Moe Pao and decisively transitioning to becoming a channel vendor, ultimately surviving the test of times and rising against the odds to become a successful businessman.
Unfortunately, his transition was a bit late, otherwise he would have achieved even more if he had caught up with the trend earlier.
Many of his concepts were quite in line with Su Zelin’s beliefs, like customer service.
Currently, the computer market was hot, but no store in Computer City offered home delivery, but Brother Xiao Yang insisted on doing so from the start, even hiring an extra staff member incurring an additional cost which other shopkeepers deemed unnecessary.
Moreover, his store had professional customer service; customers could consult via QQ or phone if they encountered any problems with computer use.
While these services didn’t bring immediate results, they gradually built reputation and popularity for his store, and when the computer market was hit by Moe Pao’s impact and Brother Xiao Yang transitioned to a channel vendor, those old customers remained loyal to him.
He also emphasized team dynamics, believing that a vibrant team ensures the enterprise is full of life and vitality, which was in line with both Su Zelin’s and the general public’s understanding in later years.
In this way, Brother Xiao Yang’s skills were unmatched by Kang Baohong.
But even without Brother Xiao Yang, Su Zelin was confident that he could manage his business well. However, this would mean he’d be very busy and couldn’t spare time for leisure.
