Chapter 246 Grand Opening Ceremony
In the past few days, many hostesses dressed in business suits with red sashes hanging diagonally across their chests have suddenly appeared on the streets of Nanjing. The sashes have the words "Hanshan Supermarket Flagship Store" written on them.
Whenever a passerby walks by, the hostesses will step forward, bow deeply, and say, "Hanshan Supermarket Flagship Store is about to open. Welcome!"
The hostesses will then hand out flyers to passersby, which are filled with the prices of various goods in the supermarket.
In just a few days, Hanshan Supermarket became famous throughout Nanjing, known to every resident. This was because the prices of some items advertised were incredibly low. Items like grains, meat, and eggs were cheaper than in the market. People were all ready and waiting for the opening day to go on a shopping spree.
The people felt that this was a one-time opportunity, and that the supermarket would raise prices afterward. They were only offering cheap prices this time because it was an opening sale.
……
This was the opening day of the flagship store of Nanjing Hanshan Supermarket.
Early in the morning, the supermarket entrance was already packed with people. People love to join in the fun, no matter the era. To be honest, about half of these customers were just there to see what was going on.
Wang Wenzhou isn't afraid of crowds, he's afraid of small crowds. Even those who just come to join the fun, faced with so many goods, will occasionally be unable to resist buying a few items after browsing around.
Wang Wenzhou would naturally attend the grand opening ceremony. Early in the morning, Wang Wenzhou, with Gao Guilan in his arms, arrived at the supermarket.
Wang Wenzhou was surprised that Zhang Shize had arrived even earlier than him. Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Brother, you're here early!"
Zhang Shize smiled awkwardly and said, "Boxin, today is a big day. To be honest, I'm a little worried that there won't be many customers."
Wang Wenzhou leaned against the window, looked down, and said with a smile, "Brother, your worries are unnecessary. After our advertising blitz these past few days, how many people in Nanjing don't know about Hanshan Supermarket? It's still early, but the area outside is already packed with people. I estimate there will be even more people when it opens at noon."
Zhang Shize nodded and said with a smile, "Boxin is a peerless genius, I truly admire him!"
Wang Wenzhou suddenly asked, "Brother, how many security guards does the supermarket have now?"
Zhang Shize thought for a moment and replied, "Two hundred men, what's wrong? Boxin, do you think there aren't enough people?"
Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "There are nearly 10,000 people outside right now. Two hundred security guards simply can't handle it. If something happens, it could be disastrous. Could we transfer some guards from the mansion? Let me make this clear first: these guards can't act like royalty! The customers are our masters!"
Zhang Shize nodded and said, "Boxin, don't worry, I'll go and dispatch some people right away. I'll definitely instruct them to treat the customers like royalty!"
As soon as Zhang Shize left, Wang Wenzhou began to take off Gao Guilan's clothes.
Gao Guilan frowned, saying with a wry smile, "Uncle, stop fooling around! Your injury hasn't healed yet!"
A few days ago, Wang Wenzhou was slashed in the abdomen by bandits, and the babies have been forbidding him from exercising ever since. Yesterday, Wang Wenzhou saw Dong Xiaowan, and his lust got the better of him, so he wanted to get intimate with her when he got home. But the babies absolutely refused, and when Sheng Lan's face fell, Wang Wenzhou was immediately terrified and had no choice but to hold back.
"Little Lanlan, be good!" Wang Wenzhou pointed to the wound and said seriously, "Look, the wound has scabbed over, it's all better now! Let Uncle play with it for a bit!"
"No!" Gao Guilan pouted. "If my sisters find out, they'll be angry!"
Wang Wenzhou coaxed, "Little Lanlan, let's play a game. If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?"
Naïve and innocent girls are easy to fool, and Gao Guilan was eventually seduced by Wang Wenzhou.
At noon, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the entrance of Hanshan Supermarket.
It was Zhang Shize's first time participating in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and he had no experience. He also didn't understand why Wang Wenzhou insisted on holding such a ceremony.
Actually, Wang Wenzhou was just used to it; every time he cut ribbons in Hanshan, he would receive a pair of gold scissors. Although he also received gold scissors this time, it was with his own money.
"Big brother! You go first!" Wang Wenzhou held Gao Guilan in one arm and gestured to Zhang Shize to cut the ribbon first.
Zhang Shize shook his head slightly. He was increasingly admiring of Sha Xiaowu, but his brother-in-law was just too lecherous. He was always carrying pretty girls wherever he went.
Gao Guilan's face was flushed, and she kept her head down, avoiding eye contact. She was overwhelmed with shame. The man was so mean; he had torn her thong during their lovemaking, and now she was only wearing a skirt. Although no one could see it, she felt as if they could.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Wang Wenzhou loudly announced: "The Nanjing Hanshan Supermarket flagship store is officially open!"
The supermarket doors slowly opened, and customers poured in.
When people are crowded together, the more people there are, the more they like to squeeze in.
"Ah!" Gao Guilan cried out. She had been holding Wang Wenzhou's hand, but was suddenly separated by the crowd.
"Uncle!" Gao Guilan cried out in fright; the girl was only wearing a skirt!
"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou tried his best to walk towards Gao Guilan, but the crowd was pushing forward. Although he tried to move towards Gao Guilan, he was pushed further and further away by the crowd.
Helpless, Wang Wenzhou turned around and shouted, "Zhu Yi, come and help!"
Although Wang Wenzhou had instructed Zhang Shize to increase manpower and security beforehand, he hadn't expected that as soon as the doors opened, customers would rush in like madmen. He and Gao Guilan had just finished the ribbon-cutting ceremony and were about to go back when they were separated by the crowd.
Zhu Yi quickly led several sedan chair carrier soldiers to squeeze through.
Wang Wenzhou pointed to Gao Guilan not far away and said, "Zhu Yi, hurry up and clear the way, I need to go save Xiao Lanlan."
Although it was only a dozen meters, it still took Wang Wenzhou the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he found Xiao Lanlan under the protection of the sedan chair carriers.
"Uncle!" Gao Guilan cried and threw herself into Wang Wenzhou's arms; she was terrified.
Wang Wenzhou quickly patted Gao Guilan's back and comforted her, "Little Lanlan, come on, let's go eat."
Hanshan Supermarket is divided into several shopping areas based on product categories, such as daily necessities shopping area, food shopping area, etc.
Because of Wang Wenzhou's strategy of selling food at near-loss prices, customers headed straight for the food shopping area.
The food shopping area is located furthest from the main entrance. Customers have to pass through various other shopping areas along the way. Entering the "supermarket" for the first time, they are immediately overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods. Many items that were previously difficult to find are now readily available in the supermarket.
Many customers who were heading straight for the food section found themselves unable to move forward even before reaching it. Carrying piles of shopping bags, they decided to take their groceries home first and then return later to continue their shopping spree.
When Wang Wenzhou, holding Gao Guilan's little hand, arrived at Hanshan Hot Pot City, Hanshan Supermarket had already been open for more than half an hour.
The franchisees gathered at the hot pot restaurant, and every now and then, a waiter would come up to report to the owner on the sales situation during this period.
Each shop owner burst into laughter after hearing their employee's report. They truly hadn't expected that in less than half an hour, they'd generated more sales than their shops would in half a month.
At this moment, all the franchisees felt that Wang Wenzhou had won the bet between him and Xu Yingjie.
