Chapter 80 Methodology of Distributing Flyers in Ancient Times
In the following days, Bai Mengran followed Manager Ding to several rental shops for on-site inspections. Without much hesitation, she decisively decided on three of the shops.
They are located in Xiangfen Pavilion in the south of the city, Chengxi Clothing Shop in the west of the city, and Shisi Street in the north of the city.
These are all places with relatively high pedestrian traffic.
The three shops can be rented out on a monthly basis, which is a good thing for Bai Mengran.
After all, she only rented the shop to use as a bus stop, unlike when she was choosing the location for the "Fairyland" storefront, where once the location was chosen, it wouldn't be changed casually.
Once the monthly lease expires, the location of the public stops can be flexibly adjusted based on the flow of people.
Bai Mengran and Manager Ding went together to sign the lease agreement, renting three relatively large shops for 950 wen, one tael, and one tael and 200 wen respectively, spending a total of 3 taels and 150 wen.
After seeing Manager Ding off, Bai Mengran returned to the carriage and quickly contacted the system to discuss her business.
"Master, I want to renovate the shop we just rented! Design it as a waiting room for people waiting for public carriages!"
[Okay, host. Please tell me if you'd like the basic, medium, or deluxe pack?]
The system, which had finally been chosen after a long time, was clearly excited; it had been waiting in the background for ages.
Bai Mengran saw that the decoration interface in the system pop-up window was the same as last time, with different levels of decoration corresponding to different prices of 500-1500, and there was also a random decoration for 700.
"Tong, do you think it's possible to achieve the most luxurious decorating style at the lowest price?"
She threw the question back to the system, the implication being quite clear.
[Ahem... then host, you can choose random decoration...]
"Alright! I knew my system was the best, the most awesome, and the most powerful!"
Bai Mengran showered the item with compliments, then swiftly selected 3 [Random Decoration] items, totaling 2100 system coins, and confirmed the payment.
[Please name the three shops. Once named, you can begin decorating.]
"I have to come up with a name again..."
Bai Mengran thought for a moment and decided that it would be easier to remember bus stops by naming them after their location.
"Uncle, let's name them 'Heshun South Station,' 'Heshun West Station,' and 'Heshun North Station' from south to north! Oh, and remember to put the 'Fairyland' sign in front of them!"
[Okay, host, your request has been confirmed. Would you like to begin renovations now or wait until late at night?]
High-profile?
Or should we keep a low profile?
That's a good question...
Bai Mengran hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's wait until tonight when no one is around to do the renovations..."
She was thinking that the carriage had already made a big fuss by descending from the sky, and many people had witnessed it. Those who saw it would surely spread the word.
Well, let's wait for these rumors to spread even further, the more fantastical the better!
This free publicity was exactly what she wanted, coupled with the effect of them handing out flyers.
Once the hype is built up enough, and if someone discovers these three unusual waiting rooms that appeared overnight tomorrow morning, people's curiosity about this "fairyland" will surely reach its peak...
Hehe, she's such an ordinary little genius! (???)?
Bai Mengran couldn't help but laugh out loud at this thought, her giggles leaving Er Gou and Xiao Chuan, who were standing nearby, stunned...
What's going on? Why is my benefactor suddenly so happy?
Just now, Bai Mengran said she had something to think about as soon as she got on the carriage, and asked the two of them to practice their performance of asking for a divorce on behalf of their mother tomorrow.
The two brothers were quietly rehearsing their lines, deeply engrossed in their performance, when they were suddenly interrupted by her laughter.
Bai Mengran grinned, showing her bright white teeth and a smile, as she opened her eyes and came back to her senses.
Oh no... I got caught being narcissistic???
Fortunately, she had a thick skin and quickly turned the big laugh into a smile, pretending to be calm as she called out to the two of them, "Let's go, the three of us will go hand out flyers! You haven't forgotten the lines you just memorized, have you?"
"I haven't forgotten, I can recite it backwards!"
"I remember, uh, but I can only go back to the beginning..."
Er Gou and Xiao Chuan both expressed their opinions, immediately forgetting what had just happened.
"That's fine. Here, you two each take a bag of mints as a freebie. Give one candy to anyone who takes the flyer. Just remember to be flexible!"
Bai Mengran took out two more packing bags, roughly distributed the candy, divided it into three bags, and gave Er Gou and Xiao Chuan each a stack of flyers and a bag of candy.
Finally, I emphasized to them the three bus stops for the carriage service tomorrow, and that they should inform them of the location of the nearest stop when handing out flyers.
"It's getting late, let's finish quickly and go home for dinner as soon as possible!"
After the three of them got off the carriage, Bai Mengran pointed out a direction to each of them, and they split into three groups to deliver the goods along the way, agreeing to meet back at the carriage after they finished.
……
In less than half an hour, Bai Mengran had handed out all of the more than one hundred flyers she had.
To save time, she would simply take a horse-drawn carriage to places where people gathered.
They went to markets, taverns, inns, docks, and other places, took out the megaphone they had bought earlier, recorded their shouts, and played them loudly on repeat.
Then, she was instantly surrounded by people who flocked to her to get the leaflets.
I heard that a new shop opened in the next town, selling all sorts of unheard-of foods, and even offering a flying carriage ride? For just five coins, you can get a ride? And there are all sorts of discounts too?
Who can not be tempted by this?
Duck! ! !
So, Bai Mengran easily finished handing out the flyers and mints.
When people received the flyer, they exclaimed, "Wow, this paper looks really expensive! It even has lifelike pictures of food drawn on it. Just looking at it makes your mouth water!"
I definitely have to try it tomorrow!
Meanwhile, Wang Ergou and Wang Xiaochuan were still carrying papers and bags, walking and shouting as they went.
He honestly greeted everyone he met with "handsome man" and "beautiful woman," then recited a long speech before handing out a single card. It took him half an hour to hand out even a small portion of them.
What's more reassuring is that most people found the format novel and accepted the flyers, some even getting a refreshing mint candy, and some even chatting with the customers...
Bai Mengran, who had finished work early, couldn't stay idle.
She checked the system backend and found that her account balance had already exceeded 3, which made her eyes light up.
"System, while they're still handing out flyers, should we do that quest to buy the land deed from Master He?"
She thought it would be quite late by the time she finished handing out flyers, and she originally planned to do this task tomorrow.
It's not even 4 p.m. yet, and I still have plenty of time. If I sit and wait to get off work this early, it seems like I'm slacking off.
She's a mission-driven person; she can't get used to not doing missions for a moment...
