Aunt Chen raised a finger, "Can I sell it for ten cents?"
"Ten cents? Are you planning to do a buy three, get one free deal, or a buy five, get two free?"
Aunt Chen didn't understand the difference between buying three get one free and buying five get two free. After a round of analysis from Lin Xiang, she dryly said, "I'm not giving any freebies, just selling each for ten cents."
"You won't be able to sell them." Lin Xiang rejected Aunt Chen outright without even thinking.
Spicy noodles, after all, are served hot, and they even include the not-so-cheap bean sprouts and rare seaweed, yet they only sell for ten cents a bowl, with a buy five get one free deal.
In theory, the cost of making the flatbread is a bit higher than sweet potato noodles, so Aunt Chen's pricing to match spicy noodles is understandable.
But doing business means not just looking at issues from one's own perspective but also considering the consumers' standpoint.
