"Price drops" for people named Hai and Phuong after the victory against the Philippines.

Following Vietnam's victory over the Philippines on the evening of December 6th, numerous shops, eateries, and restaurants launched promotional programs that many owners described as "as aggressive as Black Friday." Some even offered discounts immediately after the match ended.

Some fashion and cosmetics stores in Ho Chi Minh City are offering a 30% discount on orders placed on December 7th. Customers with names matching Hai and Phuong receive a 50% discount. Some pharmacies are even giving away a treatment package worth 2.7 million VND to customers named Quang Hai who share the post with their friends.

Not only fashion and cosmetics stores, but also shops selling photographic film, yogurt, coffee shops, delivery services, etc., are offering discounts of 30-50% to customers named Hai and Phuong, regardless of gender.

Besides fashion and consumer goods, many businesses selling cars, land, and providing rental services are also capitalizing on the trend to stimulate demand. Some companies are offering discounts of up to 100 million VND to the first five customers who purchase land plots or cars this week.

Even a steakhouse in Ba Dinh district (Hanoi) announced a 10% discount for all customers with the same name as the 23 players until the end of the tournament. Even Korean customers with the same surname as Coach Park Hang-seo received a 50% discount.

Not only are some fashion stores in Hanoi offering discounts of 20-30%, but they are also going all out with promotions of up to 60% on all items from now until the finals.

Along with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, many shops and entertainment venues in other provinces and cities such as An Giang, Nghe An, Hai Phong... are also competing to offer discounts of 10-50% for customers who share the same name as the hero of the Vietnamese national team.
