Grain, oil and other supplies for Lin Mai's family were delayed due to heavy snowfall and poor road conditions.
Although there were fresh food for sale, the quantity was limited, and they were sold at cost price, which caused people nearby to rush to buy. Despite the purchase limit, everything was sold out before ten o'clock.
The customers gradually dispersed, and the whole market seemed deserted.
Fuduoduo Food Market is out of stock, but Huimin Food Market has plenty of supplies.
Although the price is ridiculously high, citizens who really need it still have to buy it, and both Huimin markets are overcrowded.
Su Yuying inspected two markets and sat in the office of Huimin Market in Chaoyang District. She was very proud to see the business at the market was booming.
In her mind, Lin Mai wanted to shoot her Fuduoduo Market to death, but she still didn't know who would shoot whom.
…
Near noon, large trucks loaded with grain and oil drove into the warehouse gate behind the Fuduoduo vegetable market.
Lin Mai asked Tang Yi to quickly go to the Hao Zai Lai small restaurant opposite Fuduoduo to arrange hot soup and rice for the driver, and try to pick out as many dishes as possible.
Although the backbone of General Manager Sun’s staff have already paid car rental fees and driver fees to the state-owned transportation department.
But business is business, and favor is favor.
These truck drivers braved the wind and snow to transport her goods, which was not only hard work, but also dangerous.
It's natural to treat them to a decent hot meal.
Lin Mai himself arranged for workers to unload the grain and oil from the truck and transport it to the market and warehouse.
Tang Yi arranged for the drivers and came to carry the grain and oil.
The group of drivers were also kind and friendly. After lunch, they also joined the army of carrying grain and oil.
With more people and greater strength, everyone moved the grain and oil to the market and warehouse in less than an hour.
Before anyone could take a breath, trucks carrying milk powder and various agricultural products also arrived one after another.
The whole car of slaughtered white-striped pigs made people look particularly excited.
Everyone worked together to unload the milk powder and agricultural products from the car and put them away.
After finishing these, it was almost two o'clock.
No matter the driver who came back later or the employees at the market, they were all hungry.
Lin Mai sent a holiday red envelope to all the drivers to thank them for helping move things.
The previous batch of drivers who had already had their meal took the red envelopes and left happily.
Next, arrange for lunch for the upcoming drivers and employees.
Tang Yi pointed to something with his eyes and said to Lin Mai: "Your professor has been here for a long time. I will arrange lunch for the staff and driver masters."
Lin Mai turned around and saw Fang Zhuoran standing in an inconspicuous corner.
She ran down happily: "How long have you been here?"
"It won't take long." Fang Zhuoran smiled softly and handed her the two thermos bottles in his hand, "Let's have lunch quickly."
Lin Mai took him to Manager Tang's office for lunch.
She sat down at Manager Tang's seat and opened the two thermos bottles.
One thermos bottle contains chicken soup, and the other thermos bottle contains rice, vegetables and bacon.
Lin Mai worriedly said: "There are so many, how can I eat them?"
Fang Zhuoran said dotingly: "If you can't eat it, I'll eat it."
Lin Mai asked in surprise: "You haven't eaten yet?"
"I love eating with you."
Lin Mai heard this and started eating quickly.
In the winter in the north, if there is no stove indoors, if you eat slowly, the food will be cold.
She didn't want Fang Zhuoran to have a cold meal.
When drinking chicken soup, Lin Mai found two chicken legs in it.
She asked: "Why were all the chicken legs given to me? They should be given to my grandparents, or to Doudou."
"Doudou and my grandparents said that you have worked hard outside. I will give you these two chicken legs to eat. Eat them quickly and don't talk. You may choke."
Lin Mai happily ate all the two chicken legs, drank a few mouthfuls of chicken soup, and gave all the remaining chicken soup to Fang Zhuoran.
Fang Zhuoran drank the leftover chicken soup she had without any distaste.
Unless a man loves a woman very much, he will eat her leftovers and drink her leftovers.
Lin Mai was very happy because she met a man who loved her deeply.
In her previous life, she could only watch helplessly as others showed off their affection, but she could only show off her quilt, so desolate.
In this life, she also had a wonderful life.
After lunch, Lin Mai saw that there were not many customers and asked Tang Yi what was going on.
Her Fuduoduo sells everything now, and they sell it at cost price. There shouldn't be so few customers.
Tang Yi said: "Didn't Mr. Lin want customers to come to our market to buy things at six o'clock in the afternoon?
It's still early before 6pm, so of course there are no customers."
Lin Mai muttered: "If they have nothing to do, they can come and take a look in advance."
“The main people who buy groceries are either uncles or aunts, and then housewives.
With such heavy and deep snow, it is not easy to go out. People are afraid of running away in vain, so how can they come to see it in advance? They will definitely wait until six o'clock in the afternoon."
Lin Mai thought that her family's business was deserted. She wondered how Su Yuying's family's business was, so she asked Tang Yi.
Tang Yi has been sending people to keep an eye on the two Huimin markets. He knows very well whether their business is good or not.
He told Lin Mai that the business of the two Huimin markets was booming.
Lin Mai was a little unbelievable: "Their products are so expensive, yet so many people are buying them!"
Tang Yi said: "Who said that the supply of goods is sufficient and the goods are complete? If customers don't go to her house to buy, who will buy it?"
Lin Mai smiled evilly: "I will make her family's business deserted."
Tang Yi asked in confusion: "What does Mr. Lin plan to do?"
Lin Mai said mysteriously: "You will know soon.
You first call back all the employees who have finished the morning shift to deal with the sales surge."
Although Tang Yi was full of questions, he still followed Lin Mai's instructions and called the employees who had just finished the morning shift back to work overtime.
Those employees worked all morning and moved goods, and they were all exhausted.
I just got home, I didn't have two hours of rest, and I was asked to work overtime again, which made me somewhat complaining.
Tang Yi apologized to those employees who worked overtime: "I know that everyone is not happy when we are called to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.
We implore everyone to work hard during this period and tide over the difficulties together with the citizens of the capital.
When this snowstorm is over, the market will definitely make up for your leave."
An employee who was called to work overtime asked weakly: "Do you still have overtime pay and Spring Festival red envelopes?"
He was worried that he would lose his overtime pay and Spring Festival red envelopes after making up for his vacation after the New Year.
This employee asked what was on the minds of all the employees, and everyone looked at Lin Mai eagerly.
Lin Mai promised: "Of course, overtime is overtime, and compensatory time off is compensatory time off. There is no conflict."
Only then did everyone work with peace of mind.
Although they sincerely feel that Lin Mai, the boss, has a good heart and treats his employees well.
For the sake of the people of the capital, he chose to give up when he could make a fortune from the disaster and tide over the difficulties with the people of the capital. This is great.
They also want to be great and help the people of the capital.
But their strength doesn't allow it. They still have to support their families, so they can't give up overtime pay and the red ones for the Spring Festival.
While Tang Yi was recalling employees from get off work, Lin Mai was on the phone to Beijing Radio Station.
Said she wanted to run an ad on one of their most popular shows.
Even on a snowy day, business still came to my door, and the advertising director was very happy.
Ask Lin Mai what kind of advertisement will be broadcast and how many days it will be broadcast.
Lin Maidao: "The broadcast time is not long, probably two or three days."
The advertising director was very disappointed after hearing this. He didn't even bother to take such a small order.
Just listen to Lin Mai continue: "In addition to broadcasting advertisements, I also want to ask you to help make advertisements. I will calculate the money for you later."
The advertising director cheered up a little after hearing this.
At least you can make some money by advertising.
The advertising minister asked: "What kind of advertising do you want to do?"
"It's very simple, just two slogans: Grain, oil, eggs, milk powder and agricultural products from Fuduoduo Market have arrived.
There will be no price increase on all products. I say important things three times. There will be no price increase on all products. Everyone is welcome to come and shop."
The advertising minister suddenly became serious: "Is your advertising slogan true or false?
Shouldn't it be to trick consumers into shopping at your Fuduoduo market?"
Lin Mai said: "Whether it is true or not, you can investigate it yourself. I swear to God that not a single word is a lie."
The advertising director was immediately in awe: "In such bad weather, you didn't raise the price.
Based on this, I will report it to my superiors and produce and broadcast advertisements for you for free."
He asked Lin Mai to wait a moment and he would report it to his superiors.
About a quarter of an hour later, the advertising director picked up the receiver again and talked to Lin Mai.
He happily told Lin Mai that his superiors had agreed to give her free production and broadcast of advertisements.
Lin Mai said thank you several times in a row.
The advertising minister said: "There is nothing to thank you for. Your Fuduoduo Market can benefit the people of the capital. Why can't we help you produce and broadcast advertisements for free?"
Half an hour later, Beijing Radio began to broadcast Lin Mai's Fodor advertisement with only two slogans.
At that time, both Huimin markets were crowded with shopping customers.
Many customers were so upset that they almost shed tears of lasagna when they saw that the prices of all products at Huimin Market had increased again.
But there are some things you can’t help but buy.
For example, grains and oils, milk powder, and brown sugar for postpartum mothers and babies.
But the more necessities were, the more expensive they were at Huimin Market. All the customers complained, but there was nothing they could do.
Looking at the entire capital, Huimin Food Market has sufficient and complete supplies. If you don't buy their products, you will have nowhere to buy them.
At this moment, an advertisement for Lin Mai's Lots of Fortunes came from the radio that an old man carried with him.
All the customers around the old man heard the advertisement.
Everyone collectively doubted their own ears.
Some people couldn't believe it and said: "No way, with such heavy snow, the prices of all products at Fuduoduo Market still haven't increased?"
Some people speculated: "Aren't many of their agricultural products transported over long distances?
The trains have stopped running, and it is not easy for their goods to reach the capital. How can they not increase the price?
It’s probably not the agricultural products that are being sold that have issues.”
Someone said: "Don't guess here, let's go to Fuduoduo Market and have a look and we'll find out?"
Some people backed down: "With such heavy snow, it is too difficult to go to Fuduoduo Food Market.
If we go there and the goods are sold at double the price, wouldn’t our trip be in vain? I won’t go!”
But there are still many customers who were deeply moved by the words "no price increase" and ran to Fuduoduo Market.
The main reason is that the various products sold at Huimin Market are too expensive. If the price is only increased by 10% or 20%, they can barely accept it.
After all, going to Fuduoduo Market on a snowy day is too painful.
However, if the prices of all products in Fuduoduo are not increased, they can save a lot of money, then they will be willing to endure the pain and go shopping at Fuduoduo market.
Su Yuying hid in the office, and when she saw most of her customers running away at once, she was furious to death.
She would not have guessed that Lin Mai's refusal to increase prices was to tide over the difficult times for the people of the capital.
She would only judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, thinking that Lin Mai wanted to persecute her.
But Lin Mai really wanted to kill her Huimin Market, and he was doing it in an aboveboard way.
