Arknights, reincarnated as a cat

Chapter 108 New Years

Subsequent search and rescue activities lasted for several days. The final statistics were that nearly 10,000 people were injured and hundreds died in the incident. It became a disaster that can be remembered in the history of Longmen.

But how should we live our lives? For Penguin Logistics these days, apart from taking detours when delivering goods to some places, the biggest feeling is that there are no police to chase after speeding on deserted streets at night.

Because in the past few days, the police force of the Guards Bureau has also been involved in search and rescue.

Of course, fines and points deductions still follow the rules.

Later, in the last few days of the year, the volume of serious shipping orders for Penguin Logistics skyrocketed, and even the warehouses at the base were overwhelmed by various goods.

This is their busiest time of the year. Even the cats after their injuries were captured by Croissant to help sort the goods. Of course, the reward offered by Croissant is a week's worth of fish balls.

With more and more goods, their warehouse can no longer hold them.

Angel Neng, who had brought back another batch of goods from the transfer station, looked at the warehouse that didn't even have a place to stay, and said to Sora who was sitting in the co-pilot: "Should we put it in Croissant's warehouse? She should have room there. .”

"It can only be the."

Angel Neng first sent a message to Croissant, telling her that the warehouse at home was liquidated and that he could use her warehouse. Then he turned around and drove to Croissant's warehouse.

After the two of them unloaded the goods from the car and put them in the warehouse, they had some free time to visit the warehouse that Croissant rented outside.

"She has sorted so many goods and put them neatly. If I had come, I would have sorted them out."

The capable angel covered his stomach with his hand.

hungry.

So she started looking for something to eat on the shelves.

Crafts, daily necessities, clothing....

Looking all the way there feels like choosing something on a large supermarket shelf.

Then she saw the food category labels.

"Hmm...let's see what's there...Wow! There are canned fruits!"

The capable angel took an orange can from above and looked at the price. A little cheaper than the supermarket price.

He took out his cell phone and sent another message to Croissant.

Able Angel: I’m so hungry. I’ll eat you a canned fruit.

Croissant: OK.

He opened the can directly and poured the pulp in the can into his mouth without caring about the image.

The taste is very sweet and the orange flavor is very strong. It is a very good quality canned fruit.

"Sora, do you want some?"

"No, I'm not hungry yet."

Sora's eyes were still wandering on the shelves. She couldn't help it, the items were too complete, and she just wanted to see how many types of goods Croissant had stocked.

As she looked, she saw a large cardboard box at the bottom of the shelf. She opened a corner of the box and found that it was full of Meishi skin care oil. She looked forward and found that the shelves were full of large cardboard boxes.

"Meishi skin care oil? These croissants haven't been released yet?"

Just when Kong was surprised that there was still so much maintenance oil stored in the Croissant warehouse, the main character came to the warehouse with a black cat on his head.

"How's it going? Did you find a place to put your things?"

"It's been put away, Croissant. Don't you have any idea about these maintenance oils?"

As soon as these maintenance oils were mentioned, the smile on Croissant's face disappeared.

"Oh, I didn't expect these old versions to be so difficult to sell. I originally planned to resell these and buy new ones, but as you know, my colleagues are all smart, and no one wants to be taken advantage of."

"Wouldn't you lose a lot if you do this?"

"Yes, so this batch of goods must not rot in your hands." Croissant tapped his forehead with the back of his hand. "So, I'm going to try the suggestion Monique gave me last time."

The capable angel recalled it carefully before remembering the advice Monique gave Croissant at the dinner table last time.

"Bundled sale... So what are you going to sell it with?"

"Of course you can't sell it together with your own products. You have to find other bullies to team up with you. However, I haven't found a suitable bully so far."

Croissant sighed helplessly. After chatting in the warehouse for a while, they decided to end their work today and drove home.

In the car, Croissant turned on the car radio. After listening to the news, a piece of passionate music and a magnetic male voice sounded.

"The machine is corroded! The equipment is aging! Accessories are being delivered sluggishly! Are you at a loss what to do?!

It doesn’t matter! The new Meishi maintenance oil is here to help you. It is high temperature resistant, oxidation resistant, high viscosity, and low in impurities. It is your best choice!

Newly added unique ingredients will keep your mechanical equipment as clean as new at all times! Come and buy it and start a new experience!"

Croissant, who has stocked up on a lot of old models of maintenance oil, listened to their advertisements and couldn't help but sigh at the complicated people's hearts in the mall and the control those big businessmen have over consumers' psychology.

Add flavors and change the packaging to a new generation of upgraded versions.

Then, coupled with the bombardment of advertisements, most of their target groups know that they have released a new upgraded version, while other consumers who do not use or cannot use maintenance oil, even if they do not understand maintenance oil, Products, bombarded by such catchy and somewhat magical advertisements, I also know that there is such a skin care oil that seems to be very awesome.

Then she tuned the radio and jumped to the next radio channel, but it was still advertising.

"Fragrance product clearance sale, you can't buy it at a loss or be cheated. We have all kinds of fragrances, all at reduced prices! If you are interested, please call xxxxxxxx..."

When she heard such an advertisement, Croissant's eyes lit up. She felt that this taken advantage of was a very suitable partner for her bundled sales. She wrote down the phone number in a small notebook and Croissant said with a smile:

"Haha, it seems that there is another person who has hoarded goods like me and can't sell them."

"It seems you are not the only one who is unlucky." Angel Neng reached out and turned the knob of the car radio and jumped through a few channels, but they were all advertisements. These advertisements were interesting to listen to for the first time, but after listening to them a few more times I feel more and more annoyed every time.

"Tsk, these ads are too outrageous. How can oatmeal and coffee be healthier?"

"I think some words still make sense, for example, one plus one is not just equal to two, and so on."

Li Xia also thinks this sentence makes sense, because sometimes one plus one can be greater than two, or it can be equal to 0 or even a negative number. That's what it's like to work with other people in business. You may join forces and create greater glory, or you may go bankrupt quickly and end up living on the street.

Early the next morning, Croissant took the cat out.

When she came to a company called Nose Tip Fragrance, she made an appointment with the person in charge here to meet this morning. As soon as Li Xia saw the name of this company, he knew it was the unlucky guy who advertised on the radio yesterday who had hoarded goods and couldn't sell them.

Under the guidance of the receptionist, Croissant came to the person in charge's office holding the black cat.

After the two exchanged polite greetings, Croissant handed over his business card.

"Miss Croissant, why are you here today...?"

\"Ah, that's it. I have a batch of old versions of Meishi maintenance oil that are backlogged in the warehouse and it's hard to find a suitable buyer, so I'm here to cooperate with you.\"

"Someone asked me to cooperate. To be honest, I was very excited, but as you can see, I also have a large amount of fragrance products on my hands that cannot be sold. Moreover, you also have a backlog of old goods on your hands, which means that you also There are no powerful sales channels. If I cooperate with you, well... I am a straight-talking person, so it will be a dead end."

"So what I offer is not a channel, but a strategy. A strategy that makes both of us win-win."

After hearing Croissant's words, the person in charge's facial expression softened a little.

"What is it?"

“Bundling our products.”

Then, with Croissant's explanation, Li Xia discovered that what Croissant was talking about was not just a bundled sale, but a form of playing into consumers' gambler mentality.

This sales strategy, which has not yet been fully developed in Longmen, has been further developed by Croissant.

Of course, Maomao's sinister intentions are indispensable in this. A business strategy that has won over the majority of consumers in the previous life was shared by Maomao with Croissant. With Croissant's own thinking, collection + blind box + lottery + Prize grading, this sales strategy that currently has broad prospects was born.

By the way, Croissant is planning to release last year’s Best Employee Award at the bottom of the box – a signed poster of the Great Emperor as the first prize.

"Miss Croissant, your words have made me realize something. But I think our company's fragrance products will account for the majority of sales, and the subsequent profit sharing..."

\"It's too early to say now. Let's formulate a detailed sales plan first.\"

The conversation between the two ended in a friendly atmosphere.

But Maomao, who listened to the whole process, knew that there was no consensus on the most critical profit sharing, that is, the two had not reached an agreement at all.

When Croissant was driving to deliver goods, Li Xia asked Croissant, "Are you going to talk to the next company?"

Croissant said with a smile: "No, I'm pretty sure about this matter. I'll leave that person alone for a few hours. After the goods are delivered, I'll call him and win this cooperation!"

It was not until night that Li Xia discovered that Croissant's acting skills were very good.

After returning home, she called the person in charge of the company she had discussed cooperation with in the morning, and a wave of new customers came directly from them. It was said that the person in charge of an auto repair shop was very fond of the maintenance oil she had, and offered the ideal price, hoping to sell it to the auto repair shop.

Then he said that he did not agree to the person in charge of the auto repair shop because he still wanted to cooperate with a relatively large enterprise like them.

Then, it was said that the person in charge of the auto repair shop chased him, and then he pressed the microphone, and his acting skills came online. He acted out to the enemy on the other end of the phone that the auto repair shop was rich and wealthy, and offered a price that he could not refuse. But she had already agreed to cooperate with others, which made her very embarrassed and she could only think about it again.

Later, Croissant continued to talk to the person in charge of the fragrant nose, saying that the person in charge of the auto repair shop had been pestering her, as if the auto repair shop had taken on a big project and needed the maintenance oil she had.

The person in charge of Fragrant Nose proposed on the spot to increase the profit share of the croissant.

"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? Ah...that's great, thank you! Are you free to talk with us tomorrow morning? Well, see you tomorrow."

"Croissant, done?"

"Yes, that's right! If you think about it this way, not only will you be able to pay back the empty money, but you will also have funds to buy other goods. It's really good luck."

The capable angel smiled and looked up and down at the croissant.

"Kesong, do you have any thoughts on developing into the entertainment industry?"

"Showbiz?" Croissant shook his head, "The cost is too high, not cost-effective at all."

The capable angel hugged Croissant's shoulders and said with a smile:

"But I think your acting skills just now can be used in textbooks. You didn't see the expression Xiao Hei looked at you just now, tsk tsk."

After saying that, Angel Angel made a dumbfounded expression, then she turned to Maomao and asked: "Isn't Croissant's acting skills very good? Xiao Hei?"

Maomao, who witnessed Croissant's entire online acting, nodded.

With such natural and smooth acting skills, he can beat those little freshmen dozens of times.

"Uh uh..."

Seeing Croissant's speechless expression, the capable angel shrugged, picked up Li Xia who was standing at the bartending counter, moved to the sofa, took out the controller, and played a racing game with Maomao.

This is also the only video game that Maomao is willing to play with her.

Of course, the operating mode is the simple mode. Just push a joystick and press a button.

Looking at Angel Angel and Maomao starting to play the game, Croissant thought about their suggestion just now.

Then he shook his head.

I am not suitable for the entertainment industry at all, and becoming a big businessman is my ideal.

A few days later, the New Year came.

Several people posted couplets, hung lanterns, and set off firecrackers according to the custom of the Yan Kingdom.

The New Year Envoys of Yan Kingdom think a little of the life in Lateran.

It's also so lively.

However, Yan Kingdom is particularly lively only during the New Year and holidays.

And Rutland is bustling almost every day.

And this year, the company has two new members. Although they have not been together for a long time, they have still experienced a lot.

Therefore, this year’s New Year’s party is more lively than before.

There is always no shortage of wine, and this year everyone cooked a special dish, even the emperor cooked.

When all the dishes were finally served, you could see dishes from Colombia, Great Yan, Casimir, Syracuse, Lateran, and Minoan countries on the table.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xia was coaxed by Croissant and transformed into a human form. She put on the new clothes Croissant bought her and took various photos. Later, while everyone was still drunk, they took a photo together. Take a photo.

Then the Emperor took the stage and began his pop music performance.

In the end, even the croissant who was taking photos of everyone drank it.

A group of people fell asleep in different places. Only Li Xia, who was wearing beautiful new clothes, was left cleaning up the empty plates on the table and the wine bottles on the floor.
