At 8:18 on October 1, 1982, Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket chain announced its official opening.

Although there was no ribbon-cutting event or fireworks, due to the good early publicity, an unprecedented event immediately emerged.

As soon as Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket opened for business, hundreds of people lined up outside waiting to go inside. The scene was quite spectacular.

From the entrance of Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket, there is a queue all the way to the intersection of another street, and there is also a queue around the corner.

Dong Guozhong and Wang Bo stood with Li Zhongxin in the distance, looking at the crowds of people, and asked inexplicably: "There were so many activities during the opening, and such a big sum of money was spent, why didn't you invite us?"

Why don't the leaders come here to cut the ribbon? Why don't they set off tens of thousands of firecrackers?"

Li Zhongxin looked at Wang Bo, then at Dong Guozhong, he smiled and replied: "Please don't invite the leaders in vain! Even if it doesn't cost anything, at least give something to the leaders! Invite a few leaders

Not to mention the cost itself is very high, but who to invite and who not to invite is another question. If you have that kind of money, you might as well subsidize it in the form of activities to the people. The people will get benefits and will consider coming to Zhongxin when they buy things.

Grocery supermarket chain.”

Li Zhongxin paused and then continued: "As for setting off firecrackers, it's similar to this. When a large supermarket like ours opens, if we set off firecrackers, we have to buy at least tens of thousands of firecrackers. When we set off the firecrackers, we just listen to one sound.

The smoke produced by firecrackers is not only bad for people's health, but also requires several people to clean up the remains of the firecrackers. Not only is it a waste of time and money, but there is no benefit. If there are disobedient children who go in to pick up the firecrackers that have not gone off.

Firecrackers will also be a troublesome thing at that time. The supermarket itself relies on the quantity, quality and price of the goods to win. It is not just a few leaders who can make the supermarket popular, let alone how many you put out.

It’s booming with firecrackers.”

Seeing Wu Jiangbin from the Jianshe Police Station and several policemen in police uniforms helping to maintain order and letting people line up to enter the Zhongxin Supermarket, Li Zhongxin smiled and said: "Look, you two, when our supermarket opened, the people from the police station

Come here to help, do you know the reason for this?"

Wang Bo glanced at Li Zhongxin, curled his lips and said, "Don't you know those two policemen? You invited those policemen over to help, right?"

Wang Bo was very tired of Li Zhongxin's showy attitude. If he had anything to say, he would just say it. He had to pretend to be a wolf and show off to him. Can't I admit that you, the little brat, are a monster?

Li Zhongxin glared at Wang Bo angrily and said sternly: "The police station is a national institution, and it can also be directed by an individual? You will have to study more in the future so that what you say will not be laughed at by other people. I

I told Gao Bing, the director of the police station, that when the Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket chain opens, at least thousands of people will come here to shop. If there is a problem, it will be a big problem. Nowadays, it is popular for police and citizens to have family activities, and they come out to maintain law and order.

, that is to reduce trouble for ourselves. If there is any problem on our opening day, that will be a headache for them. Also, Gao Bing and I also said that if he can be promoted to the XY District Police Department by the end of the year

The deputy director, Zhongxin Grocery Chain will give them several family members in the police station, so he naturally doesn’t want anything to happen to us."

Wang Bo touched his head, he didn't quite understand what Li Zhongxin said, but he knew that what Li Zhongxin said was right.

Seeing that many people over there didn't buy anything, but walked away happily carrying Sha Guo, Dong Guozhong frowned slightly and asked: "Zhongxin! Look at those people over there, they didn't buy anything.

, but still took away a pound of sand fruit. If you do this, won’t you lose money?”

Li Zhongxin shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said slyly: "Compensation, how can we not pay for it? They took away the things without spending a penny. Of course I have to pay for it."

Wang Bo gave Li Zhongxin a hateful look, and said with a bad attitude: "You are the only one who can still lose money? Even dogs laugh when you tell me. When have you ever seen anyone lose money for the crooked ideas you come up with?"

Li Zhongxin raised his fist and hit Wang Bo. While hitting him, he said with a smile: "What, third uncle, you made a dog laugh? Can't I just lose money and do good deeds?"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhongxin turned to Dong Guozhong and asked: "Uncle Zhong, tell me, my third uncle said that I can still make money by giving away Shaguo for free. Is that possible?"

Dong Guozhong's dark face showed a very unnatural expression. He looked at Li Zhongxin, then at Wang Bo, and then said slowly: "Zhongxin! I think your third uncle is right, your little monkey-tip monkey

Damn it, no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with losing money. Even if you give away everything in the supermarket, I don't think you are losing money."

Li Zhongxin looked at the two people speechlessly, clasped his fingers and said in a dignified manner: "The market price of a pound of Shaguo is 15 cents per pound. If one person gives one pound, if one thousand people, then

It’s one thousand catties, that’s one hundred and fifty yuan. If two thousand people receive it, it’s two thousand catties, that’s three hundred yuan. Isn’t this a matter of losing money? How can you still look at me in such a way?

Woolen cloth?"

"Exactly." Wang Bo raised his head, opened his big mouth and said more than a foot long: "Put away your deceptive tricks! Why pay 300 yuan for two thousand catties? You have forgotten who bought the Sha Guo.

Right? To deceive people, you have to find someone who doesn’t know the price, right?

The forest farm below has a bumper harvest of sand fruits this year. However, because there is no transportation, they can't sell them. The wholesale price is four cents per catty. Bai Fengyi and I used to harvest large quantities of sand fruits at only three cents per catty. When it comes to you

It’s only 15 cents here. Even if it’s two thousand kilograms of sand fruit, the cost is only sixty yuan.”

Wang Bo thought he had exposed the truth about Li Zhongxin's lies, and his beaming look made Li Zhongxin feel shameful.

Li Zhongxin hated Wang Bo's behavior of revealing his past. He glanced at Wang Bo with an evil expression, and said in a slightly raised tone: "It took you two days to buy Shaguo over there. The wages for these two days are not

Money? Have you ever calculated how much diesel fuel costs for one trip? Have you calculated the cost of loading and unloading? Have you calculated the natural wear and tear on the way back and forth? It only costs three cents per catty for a mouthful. How much money does your family have?

It's made of gold. How many times have I told you that you should study more and at least what you say should be well-grounded. Hum!"

When Nanguo pears come in, Li Zhongxin’s mother, Wang Yaqing, will buy them in large quantities. She has loved eating this fruit since she was a child.

Southern pears have thin skin and thick flesh, and the flesh inside is tender and soft, giving it a sweet and delicious taste when eaten.

There are very few types of fruits in the Northeast. You can only eat seasonal fruits when they are in season, and Nanguo pear is one of them.

Although Zhubantun is a suburb, there are no farmers who grow Nanguo pears. The most commonly planted trees at home are cherries, apricots and sand fruits. These three are the most common in Jiangcheng, because these three trees require people to manage them.

There is very little time.

Neither Zhubantun nor Fulong had this kind of Southern pear, so Li Zhongxin asked people from the Zhongxin Company to find out where Southern pears were grown.

The next day, the riding fish sales team received good news. They contacted two farms that specialize in planting fruit trees. They both have southern pear trees.

Li Zhongxin directly told the people on the riding fish sales team to buy a few kilograms of Nanguo pears for his mother whenever they passed by.

Through the riding fish sales team, Li Zhongxin heard the news about the cheap price of Sha Guo, so he decided to organize an event to give away Sha Guo at the opening of the business.

Spend less money, do big things, and make people happy. Once there is an opportunity in the future, Li Zhongxin decided to do it.

It’s always the same, what you buy is not as good as what you sell. But what! Li Zhongxin now pays more attention to spending more money to sell and gain reputation.

Spending thousands of gold to buy horse bones will always be worth it. But if you tell Wang Bo, Dong Guozhong and others about these things, they won't understand for the time being. Everything needs to be guided by him slowly.

"Why don't we go in and take a look at the sales inside?" Wang Bo's head hurt when he heard Li Zhongxin tell him to study more, and he immediately changed the subject.

This naughty kid talks about reading all day long, and he doesn't act like a nephew at all. He can't tell who is the uncle and who is the nephew.

Li Zhongxin rolled his eyes at Wang Bo and said, "What's so interesting to see inside? We've looked inside several times, but things are just like that. Can anything change?"

Seeing Wang Bo's mouth curled up, Li Zhongxin rubbed his nose and said: "We went in. Apart from causing trouble to those employees, there is no help at all. Let's go home and eat Sha Guo! Now at home
