At this moment, Uncle Liben was looking at Ningguang with a face full of curiosity.
Could it be that this cute little girl could sell the goods?
Really?
Ningguang hadn't expected Makoto to suddenly throw such a challenge at her.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, Little One began to analyze things in a proper manner.
"Brother Makoto, if I were a stall owner, first, I would define my product's positioning."
"Flower shops specialize in selling flowers, restaurants specialize in making food, tailor shops specialize in making clothes... These are all product positionings, making it easy for customers with needs to find what they're looking for."
The current Ningguang already possessed a rudimentary aura of Tianquan.
When discussing business, her eyes shone with light, and she exuded confidence and brightness.
Uncle Liben, who was beside her, nodded thoughtfully; Ningguang's words opened a new world for him.
Because before this, Liben had never thought about product positioning.
As long as he saw materials that could fetch a good price, Liben would put them into his backpack.
Over time, the variety of goods he sold became cluttered.
From food to ore to weapons, he sold everything.
This was not a good thing; vague product positioning made it impossible to find customers with specific needs.
This was also why Liben had been in Mondstadt for two days and hadn't managed to make any sales.
Because people simply didn't know what Liben primarily sold.
Ningguang glanced at Liben's goods, then said seriously, "My suggestion is to position the product as a 'Bag of Treasures'."
Ningguang often followed Makoto, so she had some understanding of Liben.
Liben's backpack was like a Bag of Treasures; it seemed to store all the materials in Teyvat.
It gave people the impression that as long as you stated the material you wanted, Liben could find it in his backpack the next second.
This was Liben's unique advantage, one that other shops couldn't compare to.
Following that, Ningguang continued, "Of course, product positioning alone isn't enough; there must also be enough people who know about this place."
"We can write a slogan: 'Everything you want, it's all here.'"
This trick was taught to Ningguang by Makoto, originating from the'Shocking Department'.
The content wasn't important; as long as the gimmick was big enough to attract people, that was sufficient.
"Will this work?"
Liben scratched his head, not feeling very confident.
Makoto patted Liben's shoulder; "You'll know if you try. Anyway, business is already so dismal; there's no harm in trying."
Makoto trusted Ningguang greatly, and his tone was firm.
"Alright then, I'll give it a try."
Soon, Liben got a plaque with the words 'Bag of Treasures' written on it; this was his product positioning.
Passersby might not understand the meaning of the plaque, but at least they would find it novel.
Following that, Liben found a banner and hung it in front of the stall, with 'Everything you want, it's all here' written on it.
After making these adjustments, feedback quickly came in.
Because the location Liben chose was at the city gate, where there was huge foot traffic,
Plus, with the Windblume Festival approaching, the flower shop across the street was doing exceptionally well.
In short, as soon as Liben put up the banner, many people immediately gathered around.
"Everything you want is here? Is it really that magical?"
"Bag of Treasures, that name is novel, but I wonder what treasures it holds."
Passersby pointed at the 'Bag of Treasures' and the banner, discussing in small groups.
"Boss, I want a sakura bloom from Inazuma, do you have it?"
At this moment, a man walked out of the crowd and asked loudly.
Everyone exchanged glances; it was clear this man was intentionally trying to cause trouble.
Because sakura bloom originated from the distant Inazuma, transporting sakura bloom from Inazuma to Mondstadt was simply impossible.
However, the next second, Liben rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a jar of sakura bloom, placing it with a 'thud' in front of the man.
"Here's a jar of fresh sakura bloom, priced at two thousand Mora."
The man's face changed; he hadn't expected Liben to actually have sakura bloom. His attempt to cause trouble failed, so he could only pay and leave sheepishly.
Passersby were astonished, not having expected Liben to have a unique way of preserving sakura bloom perfectly.
Following that, others came to ask Liben if he had glaze lily from Liyue.
Before they even finished speaking, Liben pulled out fresh glaze lily from his backpack again.
Several passersby tried to stump him in succession, but Liben handled them with ease. Only then did everyone realize that the name 'Bag of Treasures' was well-deserved.
This guy had traveled the Seven Nations; he could find treasures from every country in his backpack.
Of course, the Bag of Treasures wasn't omnipotent; if someone asked Liben for a Vision, he couldn't produce one.
At this point, some people would feel smug, thinking they had found a flaw in the banner's claim, proving it wasn't true to its word.
But so what?
Liben spread his hands, "I'm just creating a gimmick. Why don't you ask the Knights of Favonius to arrest me?"
Passersby were speechless. It wasn't strange for a businessman to create a gimmick.
In short, under Ningguang's adjustments, Liben's business immediately became booming.
It was no less popular than the bustling flower shop across the street.
Because many people genuinely wanted to buy things, such as specialties from places like Inazuma and Sumeru.
Other shops didn't have them, and Liben was the only one, so everyone naturally came to him.
For a time, Liben's business was incredibly good.
"Benefactor, the little girl beside you is truly amazing."
Finally finding a moment of leisure, Liben looked at Ningguang's figure, unable to resist giving a thumbs up.
"With just a few words, she revitalized my shop."
Makoto heard this, smiled, and said nothing.
Only he knew deep down that Ningguang's growth hadn't been smooth sailing.
Along the way, Ningguang had also experienced many hardships, accumulating much experience and refinement to grow to where she was today.
While everyone else was growing, the little girl didn't fall behind; she had always been moving towards her ideal.
Liben stood up and patted the dust off his backside: "Business was good today, I'll treat everyone to drinks."
As he spoke, Liben pulled out drinks from his backpack.
This guy's backpack really had everything.
Just as Liben handed the drink to Makoto, he also handed Makoto a pink stone.
"Benefactor, you seem to be quite interested in this thing."
"It's of no use in my hands, so I'll give it to you."
Makoto carefully looked at the pink stone in Liben's hand; it was an intertwined fate.
This brother Liben is reliable; if he has intertwined fate, he really gives it away.
