Chapter 344

Five-Star Supermarket · Backstage Control Center.

Guan Zu and Tan Meili looked through the glass at the "sea of people" outside the supermarket.

"Still too many people..."

"According to the original plan, let Brother Wu Ying go first..."

Brother Wu Ying is now a singer, with more than a dozen songs on the golden song chart of Hong Kong Radio, although he hasn't released an album yet, he is already very popular.

Ox-horse · Brother Wu Ying, start!

Brother Wu Ying, who received the task, was reluctant. I am also a half-step giant of the Five-Star Group.

You can't just give me an order and make me do coolie work, right?

Look at my expression · jpg

Soon, Brother Wu Ying clutched his butt and sneaked to the stage where the lion dance was originally held at the entrance of the Five-Star Supermarket.

He was kicked a few times by Guan Zu and surrendered to Guan Zu's official power.

"Cough cough~~~~~"

"Dear citizens, hello everyone!"

Brother Wu Ying's voice was magnetic and resounded throughout the venue.

"My name is Brother Wu Ying... seeing everyone waiting to enter the supermarket so bored, why don't I sing a few songs for everyone..."

As Brother Wu Ying stepped onto the stage, which was slightly crude but full of expectation, the citizens who were slightly frustrated because they couldn't enter the supermarket cheered in unison.

Brother Wu Ying is a singer who has become famous recently.

"First song... my song 'Kiss Goodbye'!"

As Brother Wu Ying's words fell, he waved his hand lightly, and the music played slowly.

"Past events become clouds and smoke, dissipating before each other's eyes..." Brother Wu Ying's singing was melodious, with a hint of faint sadness, but not lacking in strength.

Brother Wu Ying's stage style was unique, his eyes were sometimes affectionate, sometimes passionate, perfectly conveying the emotions in the song to everyone present.

After one song, the whole venue cheered.

"Another one!"

"Another one!"

Although they couldn't enter the supermarket and waiting was a bit annoying, being able to listen to a live concert wasn't bad.

"Okay, next, I'll sing 'You Are So Poisonous' for everyone..."

"You say I'm playing rogue so you can't leave, you say I'm selfish and only care about my own love, bursts of heavy rain blow by with the wild wind..."

"Everyone sing along with me~~~"

The whole venue sang along,

"You are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, woo woo woo~~~~" *n,

The atmosphere of the whole venue suddenly became enthusiastic.

Then, Brother Wu Ying brought "A Thousand Reasons for Being Sad" and "Love Letter".

For every song, he poured all his emotions into it, and the citizens were surging with the ups and downs of the songs. They either sang along softly or felt it silently...

When the melody of "Love You More Every Day" sounded, Brother Wu Ying and the citizens sang together, and the singing rose and fell...

After singing, the citizens gave warm applause and cheers one after another.

"Even if I don't enter this supermarket, it's not a wasted trip."

"Didn't expect to be able to listen to a concert, not bad, not bad~~~"

"Another one!"

"Another one!" *n

……

Guan Zu's side,

At the supermarket front line, various news kept being reported.

"Vegetable area is in an emergency, only one-fifth left... please send new vegetables over as soon as possible..."

"Vegetable warehouse is packing, not enough manpower, please send more manpower..."

"Fruit area is in an emergency... please put new fruits on the shelves as soon as possible..."

"Bakery area is in an emergency..."

"Electrical repair area is in an emergency, not enough manpower, the queue is too long..."

"Clothing alteration area is in an emergency..."

"Someone lost a child... please broadcast on the radio..."

Guan Zu and Tan Meili didn't move, but watched the subordinate supervisors handle things one by one in an orderly manner...

The supervisor handling the dispatch was the undercover sent by Boss Li's side, with rich technical experience. Under the threat of paying 2 million for defecting, he was diligent and conscientious. He was truly a rare—natural working holy body, top-level ox-horse holy body!

And at this time,

Guan Zu's system prompt appeared:

"You established a supermarket that puts quality and service first, which is a good deed..."

"You received the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: 'Supermarket Halo': Customer shopping pleasure +10%, employee work pleasure +10%, fresh fruit freshness +10%, product damage rate -10%..."

Guan Zu was happy.

Awesome!

Brushed out a "halo"!

Small opening is not opening!

But it's a bit worse than Mingxin Hospital; the halo of Mingxin Hospital is a divine skill.

"Reward 2: 'Supermarket Advanced Management Talent Card' *3..."

"Reward 3: 'Work/Study Energy Card' *10..."

Perhaps because of the profit attribute of the supermarket, this reward was just so-so.

……

……

Canton Road,

Song Zihao was driving, sending a guest to Wan Chai to handle things.

On the car, Hong Kong Radio was playing news:

"This morning, the Five-Star Supermarket ushered in a grand opening ceremony..."

"In addition, it is worth mentioning that the famous singer Brother Wu Ying also made a surprise appearance, bringing a unique live concert for the citizens."

"Also, our radio station specially connected with Mr. Guan Zu, and Mr. Guan expressed his apologies: Please don't come for the time being, the supermarket can't hold it at all!"

"Mr. Guan also said that he had no experience in opening a supermarket for the first time, and the second supermarket will definitely expand its scale by several times to ensure that citizens have a good shopping experience."

"Now, let's play Brother Wu Ying's songs for everyone..."

Song Zihao and the passengers behind were all stunned.

"What?"

"Full in 1 hour?"

"There are more than 10,000 citizens waiting to go in behind?"

The passenger behind couldn't sit still: "Driver, please take me to the Stock Exchange in Central."

Song Zihao: "Ah? Not going to Wan Chai?"

Passenger: "No way, I placed an order for 50,000, wanting to take the opportunity to buy A. S. Watson stocks at a low price. I placed it at -20%, now it seems I'm going to lose blood at -20%."

Song Zihao gave a thumbs up: "Sir, you are really brave!"

Passenger sighed: "Others are fearful, I am greedy. And Boss Li also made such a big top-up discount, I thought it could rise, but it turned out I was the clown! Driver, please hurry, go to the Stock Exchange!"

Song Zihao: "Okay, then go to the Stock Exchange!"

Out of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, drifting~~ boom boom boom~~~ turned right and rushed towards Central.

At this time,

At the Stock Exchange, a large group of stockholders were cursing.

"A. S. Watson is finished!"

"Trader, hurry up and sell my A. S. Watson shares!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I came first!"

"Damn it, Boss Li is an idiot!"

"It's Guan Zu who is too strong!"

One can see with the naked eye that the stocks of Cheung Kong Group, A. S. Watson, and Electric Light Company displayed on the big screen of the Stock Exchange are constantly falling.

Among them, A. S. Watson's stock is simply like a galaxy leaking water, having already fallen by 11%, and this is only within less than 1 hour of free trading after the market opened.

I dare not imagine how much it will fall today.

And tonight, early tomorrow morning, all Hong Kong news will report the grand opening of the Five-Star Supermarket.

ParknShop and Wellcome supermarkets are estimated to be on the road to ruin. The firm leeks couldn't help but panic now.

……

……

Time flew by, and it was afternoon.

Asia Television,

Studio, at this time a program interview recording is taking place here.

Interview host: Le Huizhen

Interviewee: Guan Zu

Le Huizhen smiled at the camera: "Tonight, we are honored to invite Mr. Guan Zu, the boss of Five-Star Supermarket. Mr. Guan, welcome!"

The camera switched to Guan Zu, and Guan Zu smiled and nodded to the audience.

Guan Zu smiled: "Thank you, Ms. Le, for the invitation..."

!.

Le Huizhen: "Congratulations on the explosive opening of the Five-Star Supermarket..."

Guan Zu: "This situation, actually I had foreseen it, knowing that many neighbors and citizens would come to support us."

"In the two days before opening, actually, in order to attract customers, our Five-Star Group specially prepared flyers for the Five-Star Supermarket, preparing to promote them door-to-door. But later I urgently called a halt."

Le Huizhen was surprised: "Oh? Why did you call a halt?"

Guan Zu smiled bitterly: "Because we did market research and found that the neighbors were particularly enthusiastic. I was afraid that there would be too many customers, exceeding the supermarket's limit. So, finally, I called a halt to the door-to-door promotion."

"At the same time, I also appealed on TV to shop at off-peak times in the first three days, don't squeeze together."

At this time, Guan Zu looked at the camera solemnly: "Dear neighbors, because there were too many people today and they were stranded outside the supermarket, I express my deep apologies to everyone here."

Stood up and bowed slightly.

"Sorry, the supermarket is too small, I couldn't let everyone have fun!"

Le Huizhen's mouth twitched.

So pretentious!

Handsome and pretentious!

Worthy of being the Brother Zu I love to death!

Her eyes were about to pull silk!

At this time, Le Huizhen's earpiece came with the program director's "Cough cough, Ah Zhen, what are you doing? Interview!"

Le Huizhen quickly came back to her senses and continued to ask Guan Zu:

"Mr. Guan, this opening was successful, I don't know when the second Five-Star Supermarket will open?"

Guan Zu smiled: "In the past month, we have started to investigate the site selection for the second Five-Star Supermarket in West Kowloon, and the area must reach at least 100,000 square feet, or even 150,000 or 200,000 square feet."

This was planned by the Five-Star Group long ago.

The location will be placed in the center of Kowloon, at least with convenient transportation, which can attract citizens from all over Kowloon to go shopping and buy vegetables.

By then, suck up all the foot traffic of Wellcome and ParknShop.

Kill, kill, kill!

I want blood to flow like a river!

Exterminate them all!

"200,000 square feet?"

Le Huizhen was directly shocked: "Sounds really looking forward to it!"

Subsequently, she interviewed for another 30 minutes, and Guan Zu talked about the Five-Star Group's corporate vision, serving the public, and so on...

……

……

Boss Li's villa.

Boss Li and Li Er were having dinner while watching Asia Television news.

"Starting from 8:30 in the morning, a large number of citizens gathered outside the Five-Star Supermarket... a sea of people..."

"Inside the supermarket, what is admirable is the display of goods, neat colors, pleasing to the eye..."

"10:20, because the number of customers far exceeded expectations... temporarily stopped new customers from entering..."

"And on the other side, compared with it, Wellcome supermarket and ParknShop supermarket seem deserted, with few customers..."

The more he watched, the less Boss Li could eat.

Then at 20:00, Guan Zu's interview was played.

And then...

Saw Guan Zu: "Sorry, the supermarket is too small, I couldn't let everyone have fun!"

Boss Li: "…………"

Li Er: "…………"

Was shown a face by Guan Zu!

So angry!

ParknShop and Wellcome's 10,000 square feet is considered big, and most are 5,000 or 6,000 square feet.

Guan Zu's Five-Star Supermarket is several times larger, and he still says it's small.

How does this make us evaluate ourselves?

Small, but also very cute?

Then, hearing Guan Zu say "I want to open a second Five-Star Supermarket in Kowloon, and the area must exceed 100,000 square feet, 150,000/200,000 square feet..."

Boss Li was directly numb!

Puni Amu!

Exterminate them all, right!

Li Er also realized it wouldn't work, and quickly said: "Dad, if this continues, our supermarket's foot traffic will probably be sucked dry by Guan Zu."

"We can't sit still and wait for death!"

Boss Li nodded: "Indeed, we can't be conservative anymore, we can't be intoxicated by the past glory of the retail empire of ParknShop and Wellcome."

Thinking of this, Boss Li got a bit angry!

The middle and high-level management of the A. S. Watson Group, when having meetings, were still swearing that it was fine, Five-Star would definitely fail.

Now it seems that this group of insects has been detached from the bottom for too long.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

Subordinates, all pigs!!

Thinking of this, he directly called his secretary: "Immediately notify all departments of A. S. Watson above the supervisor level, all leaders, all go to the Five-Star Supermarket for me, carefully investigate, and find their advantages."

"Remember, everyone must go, and I only want advantages! Also, I give them 3 days to write an analysis report, they must write it themselves. If anyone finds someone to write it for them, then resign for me!"

This time, Boss Li was truly angry!

After hanging up the phone,

Boss Li said to Li Er: "You, starting from tomorrow, do charity in a high-profile way, don't be afraid of losing money, make it high-profile for me, contact the media more... I'll give you a month to create a persona that likes charity and is kind, so that all of Hong Kong knows you like charity."

Boss Li thought of a plan to fight back and burn the boats.

Li Er's heartbeat accelerated instantly.

Could it be...

"Yes, Dad!!"

……

On the other side,

Oriental Daily News office.

Brightly lit.

News editorial department,

A group of people were discussing the headline newspaper for tomorrow.

"For tomorrow's headline, use Five-Star Supermarket!"

"The only question is, what headline to use?"

Dark-circled news editor-in-chief: "Everyone think of some interesting headlines... speak freely!"

An editor: "I think the headline should be 'Shocking, Five-Star Supermarket opens shockingly!'"

Other editors also expressed their thoughts one after another:

"Five-Star Supermarket opening day, crowds surging!"

"Supermarket newcomer Five-Star debuts, citizens break their heads to find out!"

"Five-Star Supermarket popularity explodes, opening day squeezes the supermarket!"

"Supermarket world new star Five-Star shines, citizens squeeze to new heights!"

Editors who usually have very flashy names all took out their lowest level.

Let go!

Editor-in-chief: "…………"

Full of black lines!

Fine, fine!

You are all letting go, right?

He had to use his trump card: "Whoever's headline is adopted, reward 1,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

The editors looked at the editor-in-chief's dark circles and shook their heads repeatedly.

Are you kidding!

1,000 Hong Kong dollars, worth my life?

Who doesn't know that Guan Zu's subordinates are fierce? If the headline is too dirty, they will come to the door and beat people up?

Yes, the background of Oriental Daily News is black, but it's not black enough to compare with Guan Zu!

People are black and shining with gold!
