Hu Xueyan was a famous red-roofed businessman in the late Qing Dynasty, and he could be said to be rich enough to rival the country when he was in his prime, but in fact, he showed superb sales talent when he was a child. When Hu Xueyan was an apprentice in Qianzhuang, he had a very good relationship with the guys, and the guys often took him out when they went out to run errands. Once I went to the Yamen to do business, Hu Xueyan saw a small fishherd near the yamen selling fish, the fish was fresh and fat, but there were more people who asked and fewer people bought it, it turned out that the fish he sold was more expensive than the ** sold by other people around him, and when he inquired, he learned that the father of the little fishherd had bad legs and feet, and he made a good fish and let the child come out to sell, but told him that he was not allowed to sell at a reduced price, and a long time passed, and a fish was not sold.
Hu Xueyan took advantage of the spare time to do business, and enthusiastically said to Mr. Ledger, "My little cousin's family makes a living by fishing, and the fish caught are fresh and fat, which can be said to be the first-class delicacy in Hangzhou, and I want adults to taste this delicacy." The bookkeeper saw that Xiao Hu Xueyan was very sincere, and they often had business dealings, so he trusted them very much, so he set a three-month fish. The fish of the small herd suddenly became marketable. Later, the little fishherd also went to Qianzhuang to find Hu Xueyan and gave him a few fish to express his gratitude.
Hu Xueyan relied on the accumulated interpersonal relationships, "stammering" with the Dutong Lord, and the courage to sell, successfully sold fresh fish to the Dutong Yamen, solving the urgent need of the small fishherd, and his ability has been evident since he was a child.
In addition to Hu Xueyan, there are many wealthy people who are very talented in sales. Warren Buffett is the world's famous "stock god", who became the richest man in the world in 2008 by virtue of his successful investment, and has been at the top of the Forbes global rich list for many years. In fact, Buffett has had a sales mind since he was a child, and the 6-year-old little Buffett bought 6 cans of Coca-Cola from his grandfather who opened a grocery store, with 25 cents of wholesale **, and then sold them one by one on the side of the road, selling them at 5 cents per can**, after 6 bottles of Coke are sold, he will make a net profit of 5 cents, which is a small profit for Buffett in childhood.
