Rebirth 1983

Chapter 125

The major suppliers had delivered all the goods to the warehouse on time. Chen Song brought Daniel and the others, together with some people brought by Zhou Jinyan, finally completed the distribution on the night of December 28.

The first floor is fresh fruits and vegetables, and the second floor is all kinds of food and small household appliances. With Zhou Jinyan's relationship, a batch of TV sets and radios were brought in from Shanghai, and the products are complete.

The recruiting work was assisted by Wang Yao. Most of the employees were locals, and a few were migrant workers from far and wide villages. The cashier was a retired woman who was hired by Chen Song and was good at mathematics.

The large banner outside the building has also been changed, and replaced it with "Jiajiale Supermarket will open on December 12 of the lunar calendar, so stay tuned!" '.

It's the end of the year, and most of the factories are on holiday. People who are free are starting to leave their homes, and the traffic in the vicinity has suddenly increased. Tomorrow will be a good day for opening.

Since he has been busy with the opening of the supermarket for the past few days, Chen Song did not go home, but lived in Daniel's newly bought house for two days.

When he arrived in the county town, Chen Song didn't go to Wang Yao's house to stay, and it wasn't that he had no place to live. This made Xiao Yaoyao, who was expecting to listen to Chen Song's storytelling at night, a little dissatisfied.

……

All is ready except for the opportunity!
Early in the morning.

Someone sent a lot of flower baskets at the entrance of the supermarket, some from the county executives, who knew the supermarket jointly opened by Chen Song and the young master of the Zhou family, and someone showed their love to them; there was also a gift from Chen Song's old acquaintance, the factory manager of the first factory.

Zhou Jinyan said that there were not many people with him this morning, but they will be used to maintain order later in the meeting.

I came to the door by myself to find Chen Song, and when I saw him, I offered him a big red envelope.

"Business is booming and wealth is coming in!" Zhou Jinyan laughed, took out a big red envelope from his jacket, handed it to Chen Song, and patted Chen Song on the shoulder.

"Aren't you also a shareholder, why are you doing this?"

Chen Song rolled his eyes at Zhou Jinyan, but seeing that he was still smiling and did not take back the red envelope, knowing that it was not acceptable, he had no choice but to accept the red envelope he handed over, and pinched it with his fingers to roughly understand the thickness of the envelope.

This red envelope contains at least 880 Great Unity cards and a few small bills, which is estimated to be the standard auspicious number of [-] eight yuan.

"Isn't this a festive day for the opening? There is still a ceremony. You see, I even brought firecrackers!"

Seeing Chen Song accepting the red envelope, Zhou Jinyan became even happier, and quickly called the people behind him to put the firecrackers away.

Now is not the later generation, there is no rule of later generations not to set off firecrackers and fireworks in the downtown area, the people brought by Zhou Jinyan obediently set up two rows of 12 firecrackers in front of the supermarket.

Because of the flower baskets and firecrackers at the entrance, the people who passed by knew that this store that had been a satellite for a long time was about to open, and they all gathered around, ready to go in and see what they needed.

At 8:08, several people stood at the door, under the billboard of Jiajiale Supermarket.

"It's auspicious time!"

"Fire!"

The long firecrackers stretched to the street in front of the supermarket, and the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out immediately, and it lasted for more than ten minutes before stopping.

Countless onlookers watched the supermarket open with joy on their faces.

Chen Song, Zhou Jinyan, Da Niu and Wang Yao were also very happy. They stood in the supermarket, avoiding the flying firecrackers, and looked at the crowd outside the door eager to enter.

After the firecrackers were set off, the 12 firecrackers lined up over there were also ignited one by one, and the huge roar resounded. I am afraid that people in the whole county will not know that there is a supermarket opened here.

"Open the door, let the guests come in!" Chen Song ordered Daniu to move the flower basket at the door to make way for the entrance and exit.

Although he had expected this, Chen Song was still shocked by this grand occasion!

The supermarket is filled with people. Although the supermarket is not small, it is not particularly big. There are two floors. But at the moment, the supermarket is crowded with people and it is very lively.

The new year is coming soon, and many people plan to buy new year's goods today. There are also many people in the villages below the county, who go to the city to go to the market to buy some things that need to be prepared for the new year.

Although this small supermarket does not occupy a large area, it is nearly 1000 to [-] square meters, and it was already overcrowded as soon as it opened. Chen Song estimated that at least [-] people entered the supermarket at the same time.

People in this county have never seen a store with such a business model. They pick up things by themselves, and then collect them at the cashier to pay. The novelty and the dazzling array of shops in the supermarket dazzle the eyes. Many customers who originally just wanted to come in and take a look, saw that the things here are good, and the price is a few cents cheaper than outside. They subconsciously picked a lot of things to pay the bill.

In addition, many things here do not require a ticket, and there are no restrictions, which further arouses the desire of customers to buy!

Wang Yao was busy helping those aunts with the cashier at the moment, and she was so busy that she was dizzy, so she had to quickly open another cashier position, and she quickly joined the cashier team, which barely shared the pressure.

This has begun to exceed Chen Song's expectation.

Although it has been predicted, coupled with the experience of later generations, this supermarket will definitely be popular, but the opening promotion of this Knorr supermarket is just a banner, and there is not much other promotion. How come so many customers come in all at once?
There were not many employees, and Chen Song only recruited five or six employees in the supermarket. Seeing that this posture was definitely not enough, he had to ask Zhou Jinyan to bring his people in to help, not only to maintain order outside, but also to make the best use of everything.

Everyone is too busy right now, spinning like a spinning top.

Daniu saw this situation and wanted to come in to help, but Chen Song sent him to the door of the store and asked him to keep an eye on the customers at the exit. One was to keep the customers from being too crowded to prevent stampede accidents;

In less than two hours in the morning, an employee came to tell Chen Song that many items on the shelves were out of stock and needed to be replenished in the warehouse immediately. If the shelves were put on the shelves slowly, the customers might be dissatisfied.

"Brother Zhou, take a few people under you to the warehouse to bring things over, and replenish the empty shelves first!" Seeing that everyone was busy, Chen Song had no choice but to look sideways at the empty Zhou Jinyan.

"Let me go?" Zhou Jinyan pointed at himself in surprise, saw Chen Song say something to him, then went to work and ignored him, curled his lips, didn't say anything, and took two people to replenish the goods.

The food category was okay, but daily necessities and children's school supplies were snapped up quickly. The shelves were quickly emptied of some consumables such as washing powder and some dish soap. Zhou Jinyan almost couldn't make up for it with someone to restock, which shows how crazy the customers are.

Waves of customers, like locusts crossing the border, came and went, taking away piles of goods on the shelves.

Chen Song specially changed into a suit and white shirt for the opening ceremony. Because he was helping people everywhere, being asked by customers, helping to pick up the goods, he was so busy that his clothes were all soaked, and his eight-pack abs could be seen faintly.

At noon, the flow of people was still unabated, and everyone who was busy was exhausted. Chen Song had to formulate a shift change system, so that half of the people went to eat first, and the other half continued to serve customers.

The cashier counter was reduced by half, the flow of people slowed down, and there were more people queuing up. Fortunately, everyone was very enthusiastic about the supermarket, and there were no complaints about the slow checkout speed. Chen Song was relieved.

There were also quite a few kids who wanted to fish in troubled waters, either they took the things and ran out, or they only paid for half of the goods, and they were turned back by the sharp-eyed bull, and finally they had to pay the bill obediently and honestly.

Most of them came according to the rules, took things from the shelves, and paid the bill honestly at the cashier.
