Chapter Fifty-two: The Supermarket Opens
As for Mo Shaokun's invitation, Wang Jun and Li Qiang did not refuse. Since they had already been exposed, there was no need to hide anymore. That night, they packed their bags and moved into Mo Shaokun's home.
Although the small courtyard is in general condition, it has many vacant rooms, so there's no need to worry about having nowhere to live.
Afterwards, Mo Shaokun called his uncle and learned that his nephew had already known that he had sent someone to protect him. Mo Hongjun simply acknowledged it openly.
According to him, since Lao Tang's family can't protect Mo Shaokun, then let him come!
Mo Shaokun only then realized that his uncle had actually known about the incident at Jin Yue Hotel last time, and he even called Qin Xin's father to scold him severely.
That incident made General Mo seriously suspect that Old Tang's family and Secretary Qin could not take good care of his nephew, so in order to avoid his nephew being taken advantage of again, he simply had two suitable people selected from the soldiers who were about to retire to be sent as bodyguards for Mo Shaokun.
In a big family, it's not uncommon for younger generations to have bodyguards, but Mo Shaokun, this poor loser, has never had such treatment before, so he was a bit overwhelmed.
In the following days, Mo Shaokun's life remained unchanged. School had started, and Wei Qianqian was still pestering him. Yin Fei, for some reason, seemed to be angry about Wei Qianqian's behavior and her attitude towards Mo Shaokun was not as friendly as before. She would try to avoid contact with him as much as possible, even though they were still desk mates, often going a whole day without exchanging more than a few words.
Wang Jun and Li Qiang seemed to have vanished from his world, and even if he deliberately looked for them, it was hard to find their figures. However, Mo Shaokun knew that if he encountered any trouble, the two would immediately emerge from somewhere to serve as his guardian angels.
Today is weekend, Mo Shaokun got up early and came to the Sunday Shopping Mall located in Baishan District Hepping Road.
A huge billboard has been erected high up and all supermarket staff have gathered together.
For them today is a big day, and in less than an hour, Sunday shopping supermarkets will officially open for business!
"Sister, are you nervous?" Mo Shaokun asked with his hands crossed in front of his chest, looking at Qin Xuan beside him.
"Can't be nervous? A month of preparation and an investment of over 10 million, it all comes down to today."
"Don't worry, it's all right." Mo Shaokun comforted.
"I hope so." Qin Xuan sighed bitterly.
The one who paid the most for this supermarket is not Mo Shaokun, but Qin Xuan. Employee recruitment, training, procurement, equipment, and publicity, all of these were personally handled by her. In just a short month, she lost more than 10 pounds.
"Qin Xuan, Xiao Mo." A handsome young man ran up to the two of them.
His name is Zhang Xiaodong, Qin Xian's carefully selected partner. He and Qin Xian were originally university classmates, after graduating they went abroad to study until last year when he returned to the country and entered a large state-owned enterprise.
In the 1990s, the returned overseas Chinese were still genuine and substantial, far from being comparable to the later generation of returned overseas Chinese who flooded the streets. And Zhang Xiaodong fully demonstrated his value within a short half-month after joining Sunday Shopping Supermarket, many pioneering business ideas that Mo Shaokun had only casually mentioned were surprisingly grasped and interpreted by this guy with great accuracy, which left Mo Shaokun both astonished and delighted that Qin Chen was able to recruit such a talent.
"It seems we've underestimated the influence of the supermarket. There are already at least a thousand people gathered outside!" Zhang Xiaodong exclaimed excitedly.
Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, she had arrived at the supermarket very early, and although there were already some people outside, there were at most a hundred or so, but she didn't expect that by now there would be so many people!
"Really?" Qin Xuan asked with a glint in her eyes.
"Hmm! Although most of these people are here to see the excitement and novelty, I believe that once they enter the supermarket, they will definitely not leave empty-handed!" Zhang Xiaodong said with a smile.
Mo Shaokun smiled silently, apparently he had already thought of these things.
This month, the supermarket's promotional work has not stopped. In addition to regular advertising in newspapers and distributing flyers, under Mo Shaokun's instructions, Qin Qiong also rented a large building exterior wall in the city center with the largest traffic flow to hang up giant advertisements.
Now, it's not that everyone in Anping knows about the Sunday Shopping Supermarket, but at least most people are familiar with the name. Plus, since it opened on weekends, there were plenty of people who came to check out what this supermarket was all about and see the excitement for themselves!
Time passed minute by minute and second by second, and soon the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock.
Over a hundred supermarket employees were all in their positions, and the thirty-two checkout channels lined up in a row all lit up green lights.
Zhang Xiaodong, the supermarket manager, announced the official opening of the supermarket!
As the deafening firecracker sounds subsided, the supermarket doors slowly opened, and countless customers rushed in wildly. At the same time, the high-pitched loudspeaker also broadcast the sweet voice of the front desk service staff.
"Welcome to Sunday Shopping Supermarket, we will do our best to provide you with the best service. If you have any questions, please consult at the front desk or ask the shopping guide staff nearby, all employees of Sunday Shopping Supermarket wish you a pleasant shopping experience."
The sound fell, and the music echoed.
"Wow, things here are much cheaper than outside."
"Isn't it? Look at this rice, it's really good and cheaper than what you'd find at a grain store by several cents."
"This is nothing, I just came from the electronics district over there, and a color TV is more than a hundred yuan cheaper than at the supply and marketing agency!"
"Really? Then I'd better hurry back and get that old man of mine to come over, the eyes of those watching TV at home are blurred, he's been wanting to replace it for a long time but has always thought it was too expensive."
“……”
Similar discussions filled every corner of the supermarket. Soon, each checkout channel was busy, and long queues appeared outside the checkout channels. The cashiers wished they had two more arms at this time.
This situation lasted for a whole day, with the departure of one batch of customers bringing more customers who had heard the news.
It wasn't until 10 o'clock at night that the supermarket's doors slowly closed under the reluctance of many customers.
The supermarket that had been bustling all day finally quieted down, but the busy employees did not leave. Everyone was waiting for the accounting results.
She pushed up her black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the nearly forty-year-old female accountant looked up with an incredulous expression in her eyes.
"Liu Jie, how is it?" Qin Xuan asked.
Mo Shaokun and Zhang Xiaodong also looked at Liu Jie with eager eyes.
Liu sister looked at the three people but did not speak.
This made all three of them feel a little down, and Mo Shaokun couldn't help but furrow his brow. Judging from the crowd today, the result should be good, shouldn't it?
"Not three people asked her, she suddenly raised the report in her hand and exclaimed: '12,760,135.9 yuan!!! This is today's turnover! In the past, my monthly turnover at the factory was not as good as today's one-day turnover!'"
Three people stared blankly at Liu Jie, and after a moment, excited cheers erupted from within the office.
"We did it!! Shao Kun, we really did it!!" Qin Xuan rushed into Mo Shao Kun's arms and hugged her brother tightly, her eyes were a little moist with tears of joy. The hard work of this month was not in vain!
