Xiuxiu smiled and said: "We are indeed losing money on these five hundred boxes of coconut cakes. But Xiuzhen, you have to know that we are now in the stage of 'losing money and making money'. If we set the price too high from the beginning, everyone will eat it."

If not, how can we open up the market? Only by sending more products to the market and letting our products meet consumers can we promote the reputation of our products. The money we lose is regarded as advertising expenses.

!”

In later generations, there were many businesses that lost money and made a profit - for example, free tastings when opening a store, buy one get one free on the day of opening, etc. These are all methods by which merchants take advantage of customers' psychology to increase market visibility.

This time Xiuxiu has reduced the price of dealers' first purchase by half, in order to allow dealers to purchase with confidence and to increase the visibility of several surrounding provinces and cities.

She just applied the marketing methods commonly used in later generations to this era.

So it seems a bit ahead of its time.

Wu Xiuzhen still couldn't accept it.

She is from Shanghai, and she has the innate shrewdness of Shanghai people, and she must count every penny clearly.

Therefore, it is unacceptable to lower the purchase price by half when Xiuxiu opens its doors.

Although she couldn't accept it, Wu Xiuzhen understood it.

She knew that Xiuxiu was a knowledgeable woman and she must have her own reasons for choosing to do this, so although she was not happy in her heart, she didn't say much.

Zhang Shufen's life at home has been much more comfortable recently.

The main reason was that she had a fierce quarrel with Zhang Weidong, which gave herself some breathing space.

In the past, Zhang Weidong always talked about her, saying that she was uneducated, that she had no strength, and that she could only stay at home.

Zhang Shufen had never been in contact with educated women before, so after coming to Ludao, she always kept herself at home and became a "good wife and mother" who took care of Zhang Weidong wholeheartedly.

It wasn't until she started working in a coconut factory that she gradually got to know several good sisters from the factory.

Zhang Shufen talked about her troubles. After listening, Zhang Huiping's eyes widened.

"Shufen, your husband is a typical PUA!"

Zhang Huiping is an educated woman who worked as a middle school teacher in the city before coming to Ludao.

She usually reads a lot of books and knows a little bit about everything.

As soon as I heard about Zhang Shufen's situation, I knew that Zhang Shufen was PUAed by Zhang Weidong.

Zhang Shufen was startled: "PUA?"

Zhang Huiping said: "Yes!"

At this moment, several female workers also looked over, curious about what "PUA" was.

Zhang Shufen popularized PUA to everyone.

The PUA manipulator uses long-term and chronic suppression of the manipulated person's self-confidence and personality, restricts the other person's thoughts and behaviors, and causes self-doubt in the person. In severe cases, it may even lead to depression. In short, they suppress you in the name of loving you.

you.

The core of the "continuous suppression technique" and "abnormal brainwashing technique" in PUA is "praise you one point and belittle you three points", with the purpose of making you always feel that you are not good enough.

So when you hear those criticisms and belittlings, get angry when you should. Paying attention to the "uncomfortability" we feel in any relationship can reduce the possibility of being hurt to a great extent.

Be wary of PUA and start by caring about your own emotions.

The essence of PUA is control.

If the other person often belittles you in words or actions, makes you have self-doubt, makes you feel very bad about yourself, or even attempts to control your social life, alienating you from your friends or family, and falling into "you only have him"

environment, then he must be PUAing you.

After listening to Zhang Huiping's words, Zhang Shufen recalled Zhang Weidong's daily suppression and belittling of her, and suddenly realized that she had been PUAd by Zhang Weidong!

No wonder she feels less and less confident after so many years of marriage. She always feels that she is not good enough, has no confidence to make friends, and always stays at home!

Zhang Huiping said earnestly: "Shufen, you can't let your husband always belittle you like this. You have your own value. You make your own money and spend it now. You can't let him judge you at will."

Zhang Shufen took Zhang Huiping's words to heart.

After get off work that night, Zhang Huiping was trying on a skirt and planned to wear it when she went to work. Unexpectedly, Zhang Weidong said casually, "You are no longer old and you are still wearing something fancy, which is outrageous."

If it were normal, Zhang Shufen would not quarrel with Zhang Weidong. At most, she would put the skirt back silently and not wear it.

But that day, she suddenly remembered Zhang Huiping's words.

So Zhang Shufen took the skirt, walked up to Zhang Weidong, and mustered up the courage to ask Zhang Wendong: "Zhang Weidong, why can't I wear a skirt at my age? Can't a twenty-five-year-old woman wear a skirt?"

Zhang Weidong was reading a military book. When his wife said this, he was stunned: "What I mean is that you should dress more conservatively when you get married. Look at your skirt. There are no sleeves. These two are exposed."

With big arms, you don’t have to worry about people gossiping when you wear it.”

Zhang Weidong usually talks to his wife like this, so he hasn't realized that Zhang Shufen is different now.

I saw Zhang Shufen saying: "I am free to wear whatever clothes I want. Why do you always use some negative words to evaluate me? I just think this dress looks better and I just want to wear this dress. Is there a problem?"

Zhang Weidong was completely stunned now. He didn't expect that his wife would quarrel with him because of a casual remark.

Zhang Weidong stared for a long time before saying: "It's not that I won't let you wear it. What I mean is that you have to dress decently after getting married..."

Zhang Shufen did not back down: "Why is it so indecent to wear a skirt that exposes my arms? I'm just wearing a skirt. If you say I'm indecent, am I cuckolding you?"

Zhang Weidong's face turned pale, and he quickly stood up from the chair and covered his wife's mouth: "Shufen, don't say such nonsense!"

Zhang Shufen pushed Zhang Weidong away and said resolutely: "I want to wear this skirt. I love wearing it. I think it looks good, so I will wear it! Also, Zhang Weidong——"

As she said that, Zhang Shufen looked Zhang Weidong from head to toe, and then her eyes showed an expression of disgust: "I am less and less willing to go out with you now. Look at your dress, it is really old-school! Our factory

Those dealers who came to discuss cooperation are all young, handsome and rich. Compared with you, they are really far behind!"

Zhang Shufen has now learned Zhang Weidong's PUA routine.

Oh, wasn't Zhang Weidong PUA her before?

Now she is going to PUA back in the same way, and she wants to see how Zhang Weidong will react!

Sure enough, when Zhang Weidong heard this, he immediately jumped up.
