Chapter 432: I'll show you some wild tricks
Time passed quickly and the sky darkened in the blink of an eye.
After Gu Chan explained everything to Di Lin and Yuan Jie, she went to sit on the street behind the Wanyuanfang and waited.
Passersby on the back street thought she was just a little beggar and didn't pay much attention to her.
Di Lin and Yuan Jie waited quietly in the room upstairs.
About half an hour later, the bald man came to the back door of Wanyuanfang in a sneaky manner to meet Gu Chan.
Gu Chan stared at him and said, "Why are you so filthy?"
"Nonsense, this street is not under my jurisdiction. If other beggar leaders find out, they will cause trouble for me, saying that I have crossed the line and will complain to the gang leader!" said the scabby dog nervously.
Gu Chan didn't care about all this at all. She immediately stood up, lowered her head and imitated the cat's meow as she headed upstairs.
After a while, the back door opened and Di Lin and Yuan Jie walked out.
Gu Chan and the scabby dog came forward and pretended to be respectful and said, "Boss, Madam Boss, this is the beggar leader of our East Street. He has 20 to 30 beggars under him. It would be great if you could have them perform clappers on the street every day to promote your caravan."
"Yes, you two. We beggars on East Street may not be good at anything else, but we are all very eloquent. You can definitely make a right choice by choosing us to do publicity for you. I guarantee that your money will be well spent." The bald man said with a smile.
Di Lin secretly exchanged glances with Gu Chan, then he put on airs, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Okay, for the sake of this little beggar, I will let you promote our caravan. I'll pay you 100 taels of silver first, and you take these lyrics and ask the beggars on East Street to sing them for me on the street every day. When my caravan becomes famous, I'll pay you another 100 taels of silver."
After saying that, Di Lin waved at Yuan Jie.
Yuan Jie cooperated and took a piece of paper and a silver note worth one hundred taels and handed them to the mangy dog.
After taking it, the scabby dog smiled from ear to ear and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get it done."
"That's it, just take your time to read it!" said Di Lin.
Then he immediately took Yuan Jie and went in through the back door.
The scabby dog put the banknote in his pocket, took the paper and walked to the street with Gu Chan to sit against the wall, then stared at the paper and read, "We have a lot of medicine in our caravan. We'll sell the herbs first and then the goods. There are a lot of good goods at a low price. It's worthwhile to buy them all, it's worthwhile!"
After reading the words on the paper, the scabby dog couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and muttered, "Damn, what kind of words are these! Why do they sound so weird! Not only is the name of this caravan weird, but they also say buy in a group? What does buy in a group mean?"
"You know shit. The caravan has its own way of doing business. You just need to take the money and promote it. Don't make the owner and his wife unhappy. They might stop promoting you and give the business to someone else. You won't even have a place to cry." Gu Chan said angrily.
She spent a long time thinking about these words. She felt that the words were very smooth to the tongue, and when paired with the quick-paced lyrics, they were definitely very brainwashing.
This guy, the scabby dog, really doesn't know how to appreciate things. How can she not be angry?
The scabby dog looked confused and said, "You are surprised. I just complained about these words. Why are you so angry? I tell you, I am the beggar leader. You have to respect me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I fucking respect you, so you can keep complaining here! I have to go back to the ruined temple to rest." Gu Chan glared at Laipi Gou, and after saying this, she stood up and left. "You little brat, don't think that I won't beat you up just because the gang leader likes you! You dare to talk back to me." Laipi Gou cursed angrily.
Gu Chan ignored him and quickly disappeared around the corner of the back street at a trot.
The mangy dog had no way to deal with her. He could only fold the paper and put it in his arms, then got up and left cursing.
Not long after he left, Gu Chan quietly came out from the corner, ran quickly back to the back door of Wanyuanfang, pushed the door open and went in.
That night, when Gu Chan was sleeping soundly in her room on the third floor of Wanyuanfang.
The scabby dog gathered more than 30 beggars from East Street overnight and held a meeting in a dilapidated building on the south side of East Street.
After everyone agreed on how to divide the money, they began to practice together.
Laipigou had to admit that although these words on paper were not very smooth to read, when combined with the quick beats and unique singing style, they were really smooth to sing and were particularly brainwashing.
It took more than 30 beggars just over an hour to sing very well. Some of them even had unique voices and could sing with different flavors. It was really interesting.
After everyone had practiced for a while, Laipigou waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone take a break! Starting tomorrow, we will perform clapper talk and sing lyrics in East Street in the morning, and beg in the afternoon. I will share all the money I earned from the Yaoduoduo Caravan with everyone, except for the tribute to the old gang leader and the tribute that everyone gives me every day."
"Thank you, Beggar Leader, for your care." The beggars thanked in unison.
The mangy dog nodded with satisfaction, immediately dismissed everyone and went to rest.
The beggars also left and went back to their own places to sleep.
The next morning, when Gu Chan came to East Street to beg, more than 30 beggars were already in their respective territories, beating clappers and promoting the Yao Duoduo caravan.
People coming and going on East Street were all attracted by the brainwashing advertising slogans, and soon everyone could sing along with a few lines. The advertising effect was amazing.
Gu Chan laughed as she watched, and she also clapped her hands and sang along at her seat.
By the afternoon, the advertising slogan of the Yaoduoduo Caravan had spread throughout the entire Jiangnan City and attracted the attention of many merchants from the Jiangnan Trading Company.
It even got to the point that the matter soon reached the Censorate.
When Yan Xishan learned about this, he was very angry.
According to the rules of Jiangnan City, any caravan that wants to do business in Jiangnan City must first report to the county government, then register with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, then go to the Jiangnan Hall to order a business license, and finally go to the Censorate for approval to operate.
But Gu Chan's Yao Duoduo caravan took a different approach. Not only did they not fall for Jiangnan City's tricks, but they also sought out beggars to do their advertising. These beggars did not have to pay taxes and were naturally not bound by the rules of business. Even if the county government wanted to intervene, it couldn't!
How could Yan Xishan not feel worried?
What he was afraid of was that once Gu Chan set this precedent and many caravans began to imitate her in the future, wouldn’t the entire business environment in Jiangnan City be in chaos?
