Chapter 22 Stepping on the trend of the times, pigs can fly
"Oh, there are so many people here, isn't that Hao going to make a fortune this time?"
At this moment, Fangmei's family was also shocked by the huge crowds of people in Vientiane Square. Fangmei's mother's first reaction was how much money they would make that day.
Boss Fang thought a little sourly, why did his daughter just fall in love with Tao Tao? If... even A Bao is better than this son-in-law.
Fangmei was relatively calm, not because she had seen much of the world, but mainly because her attention was basically focused on her son sitting in the stroller.
"Hey, hello, comrade, where did you buy this little car?"
Facing the young woman's inquiry, Fangmei thought for a moment: "My friend brought this back from Hong Kong, but I heard that the supermarket on the third floor has everything. You can go there and have a look."
"That's it, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Continuing to push the stroller, I came to a maternal and child products store. This store is also extremely popular. Most of the customers who come here to choose products are young men and women. Many women have big bellies, and some are just getting pregnant.
Newlyweds.
"Red Soldier, look at this little dress. It's so exquisite. Our children will definitely look beautiful in it in the future."
"Isn't this...this dress a bit too expensive? Just this little fabric costs eighteen yuan, which is more expensive than clothes for adults."
"Humph, are you reluctant to spend money on our children?"
"Okay, okay, buy, buy, you are the eldest in our family now, you have the final say."
Fang Mei was pushing a stroller to choose clothes for her son when Tao Tao appeared out of nowhere.
"Sister Fang, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye? It took me a long time to look for you."
Fangmei snorted softly: "Are you too fascinated by Feng Chengcheng?"
Tao Tao's face was filled with embarrassment: "That's not the first time I've seen a big star so close."
Fangmei did not continue to argue with Tao Tao about this problem. She finally figured out that such a dull life with his wife and children on the bed was not in line with her husband's psychological expectations. This man was like a monkey in his heart and could not calm down at all.
But Fangmei didn't care. After having the child, she focused most of her attention on the child. As long as Tao Tao didn't go too far, she would let him go.
"By the way, I just saw Ahao, let's go up to find him together?" Tao Tao said and was about to push his son out.
Fangmei rolled her eyes at him: "Brother Hao must be very busy today, so don't make trouble and just be patient."
"Why are you causing trouble? Ah Hao is my good brother..."
"A good brother should think about him even more. If you can't help him, forget it. At least don't cause trouble."
Fangmei knew very well that her husband's inner feelings were just looking at Qin Hao in the crowd, and she felt itchy and wanted to be in the limelight. In the past, she must have exposed it directly, but Qin Hao last time
She wanted to save face for her husband outside, so she said it so tactfully.
Tao Tao had no choice but to reluctantly push the stroller behind Fang Mei, but after a while, the little one started to cry.
"Did you pee?" Tao Tao picked up her son and felt a little at a loss.
Fangmei was very calm. She opened the corner of the diaper and touched it and found that it was not wet. She took out the bottle and milk powder from the storage bag of the stroller.
"Making milk powder? There is no boiling water in this mall, right?"
"Yes, there is a tea room just around the corner, next to the toilet."
"Ah Hao is still careful, there is everything in the mall."
On the other side, Mr. Xu came to report with a happy face: "Mr. Qin, only one hour after opening, the sales have already exceeded 300,000."
"How about Mr. Xu, am I not bragging when I say it surpassed Hulian Commercial Building in three months?"
Faced with Qin Hao's teasing, Mr. Xu smiled heartily. Before he left Hulian Commercial Building, the outside world said that he was kicked away. At first, he respectfully called "Mr. Xu", but when he turned around, he turned into "Xiao Xu"
, although he has seen a lot of things about people in government agencies taking advantage of tea, but if it really happened to him, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
After he came to Vientiane Plaza, there were rumors from the outside world that he had no choice but to go to sea because he could no longer survive in the Hulian Commercial Building. These days, he has never explained anything, but in fact he is holding back a lot of energy in his heart.
And today, the grand occasion at Vientiane Square is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to those who look down on him.
"In less than three months, at most two months, Hulian Commercial Building will become a thing of the past. When talking about Shanghai from now on, the first thing that comes to mind will definitely be Vientiane Plaza!" Mr. Xu said with great pride.
Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "As long as you have confidence, go ahead and do it. I will fully support you."
While they were talking, Liu Sen had already brought Chow Yun-fat and a group of reporters to the third floor.
Chow Yun-fat looked at the bustling scene in the shopping mall and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there are such high-end department stores in the mainland."
This sentence was also keenly captured by the reporter who had been following him, and he quickly recorded it in his notebook.
"Ah Hao, Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhao, let's take a photo together?" Liu Sen suggested.
Reporters set up cameras one after another to freeze the scene.
While the reporter was conducting exclusive interviews with Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi, Liu Sen walked up to Qin Hao and gave him a bear hug, saying with excitement on his face.
"Ah Hao, today I finally understand why you said that the Hong Kong market is small. Do you know what I saw? Banknotes, a lot of banknotes are getting into our pockets!"
Although Liu Sen came to Shanghai last time, it was just a quick glance and he still lacked knowledge of the Shanghai market. Only now did he understand why Qin Hao spent so much energy developing the mainland market. In Hong Kong, no matter what
There is no way to gather so many people in a shopping mall.
At this moment, in Liu Sen's eyes, those bustling people were not people at all, but RMB yuan walking one by one.
Qin Hao smiled and patted Liu Sen's arm: "This answer sheet should be enough for you to convince the old men in the family, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, they probably laughed so hard this time that their dentures fell off."
The time soon reached eleven o'clock, and the lucky draw pushed the atmosphere in the mall to its peak.
Especially after the first prize, a 21-inch Sony color TV, was won by a group of middle-aged couples, the lottery team lined up directly from the manufacturer to the street. Although most of the people won the prize was washing powder, rice
Although there were participation prizes such as oil, no one went back empty-handed, which still left a good impression on the customers of Vientiane Plaza. As for those who won the grand prize, they naturally became the most loyal fans of Vientiane Plaza.
This is not over yet. Although April 1st is a Saturday, the mainland still adopted the single-day holiday system in 1989, and the double-day holiday was not implemented until 1995.
Many people have to go to work during the day, and the flow of people in Vientiane Square reaches its peak after 6 p.m.
Qin Hao saw that there were more and more people in the shopping mall, so he had to take measures to limit the flow of people. Only how many people could go out inside would let in as many people outside.
Even so, there are still many customers who would rather endure mosquito bites outside than go in to see the true appearance of Vientiane Square. Psychology calls it the herd effect, just like when eating, they are willing to find restaurants with many people.
Until 9:10 in the evening, Vientiane Plaza has exceeded its business hours and is about to close. There are still many customers who are unwilling to leave. It was not until all the doors of Vientiane Plaza were closed that these customers left angrily.
Customers have gone home, but the lights in Vientiane Plaza are still bright, and various shops are urgently taking inventory and replenishing goods. The supermarket is even more busy, and many hot-selling products have been sold out.
The Finance Department is also working hard to compile today's sales data.
After working until one o'clock in the morning, Qin Hao and Liu Sen finally got the financial statements.
On the opening day alone, the sales of Guangwanxiang Supermarket exceeded 1.35 million yuan, and per capita consumption reached 150 yuan.
The sales volume of the entire Vientiane Plaza exceeded 4.86 million, and per capita consumption reached 540 yuan.
This was in 1989. The annual salary of ordinary workers was only five to six hundred yuan. Such terrifying consumption power also illustrates a problem. The people's pursuit of a better life is increasing day by day. As long as it is a product that can meet the needs of the people, they will
They are willing to spend money.
The reason for the success of Vientiane Plaza is not only Qin Hao's endless publicity methods, but also the fact that it pokes at the current people's pain points about the lack of goods in the market economy.
If you step on the trend of the times, pigs can fly. Only by following the trend can you become the trend-setter of the times.
When the sales data were announced, the entire Vientiane Plaza burst into cheers.
Especially the representatives of those manufacturers whose products have sold out are dancing so loudly that their voices are hoarse because they know very well that for a long time in the future, their products will become household names in Shanghai and even the whole country, waiting for them
The only thing that will inevitably come is promotion and salary increase, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
The director of Nanjing Watch Factory rushed forward and gave Qin Hao a bear hug: "Mr. Qin, you are really my living Buddha."
"Director Zhong, I remember that you had to send salespeople yourself..." Mr. Xu joked upon seeing this.
Director Zhong's face turned red with anxiety: "Oh, Mr. Xu, how can you reveal someone's background..."
"Haha~~~"
Everyone present laughed. In fact, many manufacturer representatives wanted to send their own people to be responsible for sales. This is understandable. After all, the wages and bonuses for these sales were paid by their manufacturers, but the management rights were with them.
In the hands of shopping malls, they will inevitably worry that sales will not do their best to help them sell goods.
For this reason, many manufacturer representatives have been in a stalemate for a long time without signing a contract, but Qin Hao's attitude is very firm. All staff in the mall must be trained and managed uniformly, because if there is any problem, customers will only go to Vientiane Plaza
, instead of going to the manufacturer directly, he must be responsible for the customer first and the manufacturer secondly.
Of course, there were also some shops whose sales data did not meet expectations. Qin Hao did not ignore them and helped them analyze the reasons overnight and help them formulate improvement plans.
I was busy until about six o'clock in the morning, and then I squinted in the office for a while.
Last night, Shanghai TV station was also broadcasting news about the grand opening of Vientiane Plaza. One of the interviews with Chow Yun-fat made many viewers who did not go there today regret.
In the camera, Chow Yun-fat accepts reporters' questions in a graceful manner.
Reporter: Mr. Zhou, I heard that this is your first time in Shanghai?
Chow Yun-fat: Yes.
Reporter: But you previously acted in a well-known TV series called Shanghai Beach.
Chow Yun-fat: Yes, I played Hui Man-keung in the drama, but the drama was filmed in Hong Kong.
Reporter: So that’s it. So what do you think of your first visit to Shanghai?
Chow Yun-fat: Well, the people in Shanghai are very welcoming, and it is more prosperous than I imagined, especially the Vientiane Plaza that just opened today. Before coming here, I could hardly imagine that there would be such a high-end department store in the mainland.
The last sentence was obviously meant to be flattering. Qin Hao hired him with money. As an artist, you get paid to do things.
"It turns out that Xu Wenqiang has never been to Shanghai before."
"Shanghai Beach was actually not filmed in Shanghai?"
"Is Vientiane Plaza really that good? Even Hong Kong stars like Chow Yun-fat praise it?"
These are the three most memorable points that this interview brought to the audience in front of the TV, and they soon became a topic of conversation among the audience.
This is not over yet. Early in the morning, reports appeared in major newspapers that Zhou Run was found on the beach.
"Aunt Wu, let's go to Nanjing Road?"
"What to do on Nanjing Road?"
"A new department store has opened over there, and even Xu Wenqiang has agreed to it."
"Really? You have to go and see."
It has to be said that Chow Yun-fat during this period absolutely fascinated thousands of teachers, and his influence can only be described as terrifying.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, it is Sunday, and Nanjing Road has been blocked since 7:30 in the morning. This time there are many smart merchants
The door opens early for business, and some customers who are thirsty and tired from waiting are willing to spend a small amount of money to take a break.
Of course, Hulian Commercial Building definitely disdains "taking advantage of the popularity" and still opens at nine o'clock. Even yesterday, due to the opening of Vientiane Plaza, nearly half of the customers of Hulian Commercial Building were sucked away. The newly appointed general manager of Hulian Commercial Building
The manager still hasn’t adjusted his strategy. In his opinion, which new mall will have better business in the first few days after its opening?
In the end, customers will still come back to Hulian Mall after the novelty has worn off.
However, what he didn't know was that for customers who had experienced the free shopping model of Vientiane Plaza, it would undoubtedly be a painful experience for them to choose products from the tellers across the counter.
It was also open at nine o'clock. The moment the Vientiane Plaza door opened, customers were pouring in as if the goods inside were free. However, after the opening of Hulian Commercial Building, there were only a few customers who walked in, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.
He walked out empty-handed.
The reason is also very simple. In terms of the richness of products, Vientiane Plaza surpasses Hulian Mall by several streets. One has 20,000 kinds of single products, while the other only has 2,000 kinds. Customers will naturally vote with their feet.
Even though Vientiane Plaza had to restrict the flow of customers due to the influx of customers, most customers would rather queue than go to Hulian Commercial Building to buy things.
"Oh, I blame you for being late! There is such a long queue, how long will it take to get in?"
"How about we go to Hulian Commercial Building? There is no need to queue at Hulian Commercial Building."
"I'm not going. I heard them say that Vientiane Plaza is very luxurious. There are twelve escalators alone. Hulian Commercial Building? It's all out of date."
When the newly appointed general manager of Hulian Commercial Building passed by and heard the conversation between the young lovers, he couldn't help but trembled. Only then did he realize that what he had picked up was not a piece of fat, but a hot potato. His predecessor, Xu
Mr. Zong was not kicked out at all, but took the initiative to go to the sea to pan for gold.
