"Boss, is this a new sales technique you came up with? Really impressive, I must say."
The manager quickly flattered Ergou, thinking now is as good a time as any.
But Ergou said nothing. He just walked outside to stand next to the already arranged fruits, then took out a board and wrote "Free Samples" on it.
"You should also go and call out, just tell them we're having a promotion today with free samples, let everyone taste."
Ergou instructed the manager.
"Boss, did I hear wrong? If we give away all these fruits for free, how much will we lose? Besides, I run a small business and can't afford such a hassle."
The manager immediately felt deflated upon hearing this and his expression was quite the classic meme.
Even if we are running a promotion, giving them away for free seems overboard. This way, not to mention making money, they might actually lose some.
