Back to 84: Getting rich from collecting rubbish

Chapter 617 A Helpless Choice
Lan Weidong is in a bad mood!
Although the opening ceremony was finally fooled with the support of borrowed "customers", he was very depressed during the whole process.

But what made him even more depressed was the beating from shareholders.

The shareholder who always smiled and praised him when he saw him, spoke to him in a very unpleasant tone after the opening ceremony this time. No, it is no exaggeration to say that his posture was clearly condescending.

If it was the past, with Lan Weidong's temper, he definitely wouldn't like him. Even if he didn't go back on the spot, he would have to find an opportunity to pay him back afterwards.But now, he could only swallow his anger and choose to remain silent.

It's not that he has become broad-minded, but that now, the situation is pressing, and he has no confidence.

After seeing off the guests who gave the opening speech, Lan Weidong looked at the sparse customers and felt a little restless in his heart.

The scene of a crowd of guests he imagined did not appear, nor did the situation of being sold out as he imagined.

Although they adopted the lowest price for the products, it was really hard for him to fight against the free eggs and Shen Lin's two-person group, the more people, the better the discount.

"General Manager Lan, the reporter from the TV station is here and wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you." The person in the office walked over cautiously and said.

If it was in the past, Lan Weidong would not refuse this kind of interview. After all, as long as he wanted to, most of the reports would only plant flowers without planting thorns. Of course, the more positive publicity, the better.

But now, Lan Weidong is really not in the mood.

However, he still tried his best to maintain his proper calm, pondered for a while and said: "You tell the reporter friend, just say that I am busy now and have no time to receive."

"Remember to entertain them well, and don't cause any unpleasant things. What should be expressed, let the logistics staff express it appropriately according to the usual practice."

After finishing the order, Lan Weidong started walking around the mall.

There are five floors in the Jinpeng Commercial Building, and the decoration style is still very fashionable, but at this time, the scene on each floor is the same: there are not as many customers as there are waiters.

This kind of traffic, if placed normally, would be enough to cause headaches for investors, not to mention, today is a great day for the opening of the business!
He walked up the steps to the third floor, when he heard someone say: "Let's go, our tasks are all done, why are you still dawdling here?"

"Let me tell you that there are too many discounts in Mike Electric Mall. Not only do hundreds of people form a group, but they also give away watches!"

"Really? I've wanted to buy a rice-shell electronic watch for a long time, but it's sold out as soon as we have it."

"Don't waste time, let's go!"

The few young workers who spoke were all borrowed people. While they were talking, they hurried to the stairs.These young workers obviously knew Lan Weidong. After seeing Lan Weidong, they looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces, but then they left at a faster pace.

Although Lan Weidong felt extremely aggrieved, under such circumstances, no matter how much dissatisfaction he had, he could only endure it.

After all, losing your temper at this time is of no use at all.The first is that people are not under your control; the second is that you haven't done a good job in your own work, so how can you blame others?
At 11:30 in the morning, the number of customers in Jinpeng Commercial Building became less and less, and some waiters with wide-eyed and small-eyed eyes began to gather together and chat softly.

Under such circumstances, Ma Jindong came to Lan Weidong's side.

"Lao Lan, I think we have to take measures, otherwise, our business would be a bit too shabby!"

Ma Jindong's smiling face had disappeared without a trace at this time, and when he was speaking, his expression was extremely dignified.

Lan Weidong knew that what Ma Jindong said was very reasonable, but in this situation, he really didn't know what to do.

"What are your ideas?" Lan Weidong looked at Ma Jindong and asked. "We also hold events for groups of [-] people. Our prices are more favorable than Shen Lin's. What do you think?" Ma Jindong said his plan.

Lan Weidong pondered for a while and said: "This is probably a way, but this way..."

Lan Weidong didn't go on, but Ma Jindong understood what he meant, that is, it was really embarrassing for them to copy so quickly.

Although face is nothing compared to profit, but it is still not good to hear this kind of thing spread.

Ma Jindongxin said, what time is this, you still take this into consideration, but on the surface, he said solemnly: "Brother, I understand what you mean, but now, it's all at this juncture, we have other things to do." Choose!"

"It can't be a good opening ceremony, just finish it in such a tepid way?"

Listening to Ma Jindong's rhetorical question, Lan Weidong felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife. In the past, Ma Jindong would obey him without saying anything, at least he was extremely respectful. Many things were done without laughing or talking.

But now, Ma Jindong's questioning was obviously blunt. This kind of bluntness made him feel that his prestige had dropped a lot.

Ma Jindong seemed to realize that his tone was wrong, and explained with an awkward smile: "Boss Lan, I'm doing this for our commercial building."

Lan Weidong nodded and said: "Jin Dong, I know you are for the commercial building, so I won't think about this matter in my heart."

Speaking of this, Lan Weidong continued: "However, Jin Dong, it's a bit too hasty for us to launch a group of [-] people. After all, the price of the rice shell electrical store is not easy to chase."

While speaking, Lan Weidong had already taken a page of paper in his hand, and gently handed it to Ma Jindong.

In fact, this is the discount offered by the rice shell electrical store. Many things are discounted to the point of outrage.

Among them, there are things produced by Mishell Electronics Factory itself, and there are also some large-scale cooperative manufacturers.Especially the TV, the standard price, in Lan Weidong's view, is almost the same as the purchase price.

Looking at the price above, Ma Jindong also had a headache.He knew that there must be a profit margin for Shen Lin, but this profit margin was definitely obtained through negotiations.

If their contract between Jinpeng Commercial Building and the manufacturer can reach this point, then it may be a loss!

"Mr. Lan, it's too late for us to call those manufacturers to negotiate now. I think we should launch some special products and compete with them again."

"As for the price of the product, we will discuss it later."

Ma Jindong's words made Lan Weidong make up his mind, but his heart was full of despair.

Applying Shen Lin's method can grab some customers, but if he learns from Shen Lin now, it is actually tantamount to giving up his position as the leader in the home appliance market.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't let it go, even if he insists on holding on, he will not be favored by others.

After Lan Weidong made a decision, Ma Jindong asked someone to arrange it, but if this kind of thing hadn't been arranged in advance, how could it be done immediately.

So until the afternoon, the entire Jinpeng Commercial Building was still in a state of immortality, which formed a strong contrast with the bustling and crowded Mishell Electric Mall.
