Greet

(L went on to tell his story.)

"Szeto, I suppose you know the usual happenings. Everyday, early in the morning, there are a hundred people or so lining up outside the shops of C and H - they are all wealthy potential customers waiting to get admittance to the stores!"

I nodded.

"And, you know, both brands are eager to attract all big spenders. For that purpose, C comes up with a new tactics recently."

"What's that?"

"Alas, before the business hour every morning, shopkeepers of C will go out of the store and greet - in the most hearty way - all those people who are lining up and waiting. The idea is simple. People should choose the shop that has a better customer service and whose staff is more friendly."

"It sounds a good move." I remarked.

"Yes... or so we should imagine," L put up a mysterious smile.
