Chapter 243: 237 ParknShop Supermarket, Today's Customers: 0!

A new day,

Causeway Bay, Goose Neck Bridge Market.

Goose Neck Bridge, its name comes from the nearby Goose Neck Bridge, which was named because the bridge spans a canal shaped like a goose neck. Later, the canal disappeared, but the name remained.

The boycott of ParknShop led a large number of neighbors and citizens to run to this market to buy vegetables.

In the past, the stalls in the market were dense, and the flow of people was like weaving, very prosperous.

And today, it was even more explosive than usual, which could be said to be surging with crowds.

Some customers couldn't help but be surprised,

"Strange, why are there so many people coming here to buy vegetables today?"

"Today is Monday, why is it more prosperous than a holiday?"

Soon, a stall owner gave them the answer:

"Because we in Causeway Bay are boycotting ParknShop, a large number of supermarket customers aren't going to the supermarket anymore, but are going to various markets to buy vegetables."

At this time,

Lo Ka-yiu took his girlfriend Ah Mi and walked in here to buy vegetables. Looking inside from the entrance, there was a surge of crowds, and he gasped.

"Hiss~~~ so many people!"

"Many people, lively is good."

Then he met Mo Xiang Yang.

"Hey, Brother Mo~~"

"Brother Lo!"

Lo Ka-yiu and Mo Xiang Yang had met on the stage of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and had talked quite a bit, so they could be considered friends.

"Brother Mo, you cook too?" Lo Ka-yiu asked curiously.

"I know a little." Mo Xiang Yang didn't know how to cook very well; coming to this market today was mainly for observation.

Yesterday, he witnessed the formation of the action to boycott ParknShop, and today he set a goal to first observe a few markets in Causeway Bay, and then go to the ParknShop in Causeway Bay to take a look.

He didn't expect to meet Lo Ka-yiu by such a coincidence.

Mo Xiang Yang strolled around Goose Neck Market for 20 minutes, then left, and went to several other markets in Causeway Bay...

Like Goose Neck Market, those few markets were also surging with crowds, shoulder to shoulder, very explosive.

When Mo Xiang Yang arrived at the entrance of ParknShop, he saw a dramatic scene.

Two patrolling police officers stood at the entrance of ParknShop, as if guarding against something.

And on the left and right sides, 10 meters away, there were a few elderly people distributing flyers on the street.

"Are you a neighbor from Causeway Bay?"

"Boycott together..."

"We can't let Ah Zu be wronged in vain~~"

Most of the customers were successfully persuaded away.

Mo Xiang Yang couldn't help but click his tongue; this move was too poisonous.

And these neighbors had so many tricks.

And General Manager Charlie Chow, at this time at the entrance of ParknShop, was cursing angrily.

"Dead old bastards!"

"Bastards!"

"Damn it~~"

Cursing continuously, but he couldn't do anything about those old guys.

He saw Mo Xiang Yang walking over and hurriedly walked over enthusiastically: "This gentleman, welcome, ParknShop has big discounts today..."

As a result, Mo Xiang Yang looked serious: "Sorry, I support Brother Zu, I want to boycott you!"

Then he walked away quickly.

Charlie Chow: "…………"

At this time, a van stopped, and the supermarket employees had finished making the promotional boards and returned.

Charlie Chow felt like he had found a life-saving straw and ran over quickly.

"Quick!"

"Set it up immediately!"

"Pull the banner tight!"

Soon, signs were set up, and banners were put up.

"Big Discount!"

"1 dollar for a box of eggs!"

"1 dollar for a pack of tissues!"

"1 dollar for a 10-jin bag of rice!"

"1 dollar for a 1000ml bottle of sesame oil!"

After the signs and banners were set up,

Charlie Chow immediately felt confident; the boss was wise to come up with this method.

These neighbors all liked to take advantage; he didn't believe these neighbors wouldn't be tempted.

Boycott?

Let you boycott!

And at this time, those few old guys saw the signs, and their eyes lit up.

"1 dollar for a box of eggs? So cheap!"

"Rice, sesame oil, tissues, all for 1 dollar..."

"Damn it, such a discount, not buying is a loss!"

"But, aren't we boycotting?"

"Are you stupid? We just buy these three discounted items, isn't that enough? Hurt him to death!"

"6!!"

"Let's do it!"

So,

These few grandpas ran to ParknShop, each bought a box of eggs, rice, oil, and tissues, and left happily. If it weren't for the limit of one per person, they would have probably bought it all.

It almost made Charlie Chow vomit blood!

Too shameless!

But he couldn't not sell.

Subsequently, he saw these old men's even more shameless operations; every time they met a citizen, they would say "boycott", "don't buy things", "but you can buy those 1-dollar discounted products", "remember, definitely don't buy other products"...

So, neighbors passing by ran in one after another and bought all the 1-dollar eggs, rice, oil, and tissues.

After buying, they didn't even look at other products and left directly.

Charlie Chow: "I…………"

Almost angered to the point of a myocardial infarction.

These citizens, how is their quality so poor!

At this time, he saw those damn dead old guys still on the phone.

"Hey, Ah Fong, there's a 1-dollar discount here, buy eggs, rice, oil, tissues... hurry over~~~"

"Hey, Ah Chui..."

"Call more people over, buy it all, anger Boss Li to death!"

Calling friends and companions one after another, and asking people to call more people.

Charlie Chow was scared to the point of liver tremors.

He hurriedly changed the discount rules: "Must spend 50 dollars to get the gift!"

Those few uncles saw it and cursed: "Damn, have to spend 50 dollars to buy?"

They called back one after another, telling those neighbors not to come.

Charlie Chow: "…………"

Another hour passed...

It was almost noon.

The discount activity was useless at all; many neighbors were tempted when they saw eggs, rice, oil, and tissues for 1 dollar, but when they heard they had to spend 50 dollars to buy them, they left immediately.

Do you understand the gold content of the support rate?

Inside ParknShop, the employees were bored to death because there wasn't a single customer inside! Not a single one!

Charlie Chow was already numb and hurriedly called to report.

Not long after, he had a direct phone call with Boss Li and reported the situation.

"Didn't I say to sell eggs, oil, rice, tissues for 1 dollar?"

"I've already executed it!"

"Then why doesn't it work? I don't believe those elderly people aren't greedy for such a big bargain."

"These old guys are indeed as greedy as the boss expected, their eyes turned green when they saw the 1-dollar products, but they only buy these 1-dollar discounted products, they don't even touch other products!"

Boss Li: "…………"

Almost spat out a mouthful of tea.

This damn thing also works?

He underestimated the shamelessness of these people.

!.

Boss Li thought for a while: "Then give a condition, how much you have to buy to be able to buy these discounted products."

Charlie Chow: "I also thought as the boss thought, 50 dollars to enjoy these discounts, but it doesn't work, they just don't want these 1-dollar discounted products."

Boss Li: "Then 20 dollars!"

Charlie Chow: "20 dollars is useless too!"

Now,

Boss Li felt tricky.

No, are you really boycotting?!

He began to rack his brains, trying to find a method from decades of business experience, but he couldn't find a good method for a while...

He looked at the stock market,

Hutchison Whampoa's stock was still very stable, and even because he was absorbing scattered stocks to blow up Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's short position, the stock price even rose by 1.2%.

However, he knew this was only temporary.

Because the news report hadn't come out yet, if the news report came out, this stock would definitely dive.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called ATV tycoon Mr. Lam and TVB tycoon Mr. Shaw, hoping they would show mercy in the reports.

Mr. Shaw agreed, but Mr. Lam refused.

Because Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had already greeted Mr. Lam in advance, and Mr. Lam had also invested money to short.

How could he miss the chance to get rich?

……

……

At this time,

Inside the supermarket, an employee was holding a DV camera, secretly recording the empty scene inside the supermarket.

And a few other employees were cooperating with him, providing cover.

They were all from Causeway Bay and had been indirectly taken care of by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, viewing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu as an idol.

This time, the neighbors and elders found them and asked them to film secretly, and there was also news money from ATV, so they readily agreed and formed a group to cooperate with the secret filming.

What is this called?

The vast ocean of the people!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu occupied all the right time, right place, and right people!

After filming, one person used the excuse of going out to eat, took the DV camera and left the supermarket, then handed the DV to an ATV reporter.

On the other side, there were also some ATV reporters on the streets of Causeway Bay, interviewing neighbors.

Ah Ying's father was interviewed. ("The Woman Born in the Year of the Rooster")

Reporter: "Excuse me, neighbor, I heard that you in Causeway Bay are going to boycott ParknShop, is it true?"

Ah Ying's father said passionately: "That's for sure, if it weren't for Brother Zu, my daughter would have been harmed by those gangsters. Brother Zu not only saved my daughter but also encouraged her to study hard. Now my daughter's grades are in the top ten of the grade, and she can definitely get into university!"

"Brother Zu is our benefactor, he was smeared by that Boss Li, I naturally have to seek justice for Brother Zu!"

Ah Ying's father's face filled with righteous indignation was clearly captured by the camera.

In addition, another person was interviewed.

"Thanks to Brother Zu, otherwise my son wouldn't have money to save his life, and even my husband would be a gambler, destroying this family..."

The person interviewed was Chung Tin-ching's wife. (From "Prison on Fire")

"Brother Zu not only cured my husband's gambling addiction but also lent money to my son for medical treatment... Brother Zu is my family's benefactor, so this time for the boycott action, I absolutely support it!"

"Brother Zu, come on! We all support you!"

Subsequently, the famous Hong Kong model Ling Zuer also accepted an interview: "Brother Zu has helped me a lot, he is a very good person. Now that Brother Zu has been smeared by the Li family, I naturally have to join the boycott action." ("Law or Romance")

"It's not just me, my sister, and many of my neighbors who have been taken care of by Brother Zu, we all firmly support Brother Zu!"

There was also the famous "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" contestant Wong Koon-to, who was sincere when accepting the interview:

"If it weren't for Brother Zu, our whole family would have been destroyed by my gambling, villainous brother. Brother Zu is our family's benefactor, our whole family will firmly support Brother Zu and boycott ParknShop!" ("The Untold Story")

Besides these individual interviews, there were quite a few group interviews.

A certain tea restaurant,

One diner after another accepted interviews,

"Ah Zu has done countless things for our Causeway Bay, we in Causeway Bay naturally have to stand up for Ah Zu!"

"If it weren't for Ah Zu, my grandson would have become a gangster by now, now he is studying at school with peace of mind, it was Ah Zu who saved my grandson."

"So what if he's the richest man? We're not afraid!"

"Ah Zu, we support you!"

"Boycott ParknShop!"

Finally, face after face, shouting support, gathered together, deafening.

A certain market,

Those aunts and uncles buying vegetables were also interviewed.

"That Boss Li smeared Ah Zu, we naturally can't look past it."

"Without Ah Zu, the educational environment in our Causeway Bay wouldn't be this good, he saved our children..."

"I'm not from Causeway Bay, I'm from Wan Chai, I've also been taken care of by Brother Zu, he is a great person."

"Boycott ParknShop, starting with me!"

"Coming here to buy vegetables is a bit troublesome, but Ah Zu has done so much for us, this is the only thing we can do to help Ah Zu now!"

"Ah Zu, come on!"

"We support you!"

Under the lens, simple neighbors issued their voices of support.

……

At noon,

ATV News.

"Dear viewers and friends, good noon..."

"Broadcasting the first news below..."

"Today, an unprecedented commercial boycott event occurred in Causeway Bay."

"The number one supermarket of the famous richest man Boss Li, ParknShop, has encountered a strong boycott from Causeway Bay residents due to the recent controversy between Boss Li and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu."

"Reporters saw at the scene that the supermarket was deserted, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling scene of the past."

"ParknShop even launched a series of 1-dollar discount activities, including daily necessities such as eggs, tissues, rice, and sesame oil, originally intending to attract customers, but it was useless. Many neighbors expressed that they would not be attracted by small discounts, they would firmly support Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, and firmly boycott ParknShop."

Then the camera turned, leaving ParknShop.

"Regarding the boycott of ParknShop action, our reporters went to Causeway Bay to interview neighbors to see why they wanted to boycott ParknShop."

Then, they started playing the interview footage of neighbors one by one.

Angry, sincere faces.

Sentences like "Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu helped us", "He is our benefactor", "The pride of Causeway Bay", "Ah Zu, we support you"...

Host: "I believe all viewers can see that in the streets and alleys of Causeway Bay, from tea restaurants to markets, from residents to merchants, almost everyone has expressed firm support for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and actively participated in the action to boycott ParknShop."

"From their words, we can also see what kind of person Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is; he must be a person who often does good deeds and carries them through to the end. And now, when Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu encounters injustice, they stand up in unison to seek justice for him."

"Currently, this boycott action has already started since yesterday..."

"How long will the boycott action last? How big will the losses be for the boycotted ParknShop when facing the situation of having no customers?"

"What will be the final result of this storm?"

"ATV News will continue to pay attention to this matter and bring you the latest reports."
