Reborn since 1993

Chapter 672 Battle
"There are so many cars here. What if my car is lost?"

Just as Tao Yan and the others were about to leave, they heard an irritable old man standing behind them yelling at the staff of the Oriental Times shopping mall.

"We have our own security personnel who are specifically responsible for guarding here!"

Facing the aggressiveness of the grumpy brother, the girl who was about the same age as Tao Yan still replied calmly, "If it is lost due to our management, then our mall will fully compensate you for your loss!

We will buy you a bicycle of the same model, or compensate you according to the original purchase price. In addition, during the purchase of the new bicycle, we will provide you with seven days of travel compensation, which is 10 yuan per day! "

"Wow!"

When they heard that they could get compensation if their car was lost, and added to what they had heard before about being able to participate in free draws and prizes, their dissatisfaction with the Oriental Times Mall instantly disappeared.

Although she hadn't entered the Oriental Times Shopping Mall yet, Tao Yan clearly felt that the attitude of the mall staff was different from that of other shopping malls.

It is different now than it was a dozen years ago in the era of supply and marketing cooperatives. Back then, it was true that if you spent your own money to buy something, you had to look at the salesperson's face, and if you went to a state-owned restaurant to eat, there would be a sign on the wall saying "No beating of customers allowed."

In recent years, with the continuous rise of domestic shopping malls and increasing competition, service attitudes have begun to improve, but they have only reached the passing line.

Like today, it was the first time they encountered a situation where a shopping mall looked after bicycles for users and was responsible for compensation if the bicycle was lost.

It's hard to describe this feeling, but Tao Yan and a large row of users behind her all unconsciously developed a feeling that the Oriental Times Shopping Mall is "reliable", which has never happened in other shopping malls.

Looking at the crowd queuing up to park and get a number, Du Xuan, who had been "calm and composed" just now, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, she seemed not to be afraid at all, but in fact, her palms were already sweating. If she had not handled the situation properly, the large crowd of people in front of her would have been in complete chaos!

Of course, Du Xuan’s ability to handle it well also has something to do with the Oriental Times Shopping Mall. Only with the support of the Oriental Times Shopping Mall could she propose those conditions and handling methods. Otherwise, she would not dare to promise those things at all.

Oriental Times Shopping Mall recognized the conditions she mentioned, which gave Du Xuan the confidence!

Du Xuan is actually the same age as Tao Yan, but she didn't get into college. After graduating from high school, she applied for a job at Oriental Times Shopping Mall.

Du Xuan was not applying for a position like shopping guide or waiter in a shopping mall, but a management trainee position, which is to train preparatory personnel for future supervisors of Oriental Times Shopping Mall.

But the Oriental Times Mall is different from those companies that sell dog meat under the guise of sheep. They recruit slaves in the name of management trainees, let the management trainees do the most tiring work, get the least salary, and they will always be management trainees and will never become supervisors...

The management trainees at Oriental Times Shopping Mall are truly trained to be supervisors like Du Xuan. After joining the company, they are made to familiarize themselves with the operating procedures and various processing methods of their department so that they can stand on their own.

The current Du Xuan is completely different from the shy, introverted and timid girl before joining Oriental Times Shopping Mall!

……

There was no need to look at where the Oriental Times Shopping Mall led to, just follow the flow of people. Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi just followed the "sea of ​​people" and rushed towards the Oriental Times Shopping Mall.

The opening ceremony of the Oriental Times Shopping Mall didn't have any fancy things. It just set off firecrackers and fireworks, pulled down the red cloth to reveal the Oriental Times Shopping Mall sign, and then opened for business.

Because there were so many people coming today, and they were all stuck together, it was too easy for accidents to happen, so the Oriental Times Shopping Mall didn't do anything fancy and just opened its doors to welcome customers.

But tonight, the Oriental Times Shopping Mall spent a large sum of sponsorship fees to bring the fireworks master Cai Guoqiang, who was in America, over and invited him to hold a fireworks show in Oriental Times Square!

At that time, Pingyang TV will broadcast the entire event live, and Hanxi Provincial TV, Yanjing TV, central media channels, etc. will also report on it.

"Hello!"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is a gift prepared for you by Oriental Times Shopping Mall. I hope you can have a pleasant shopping experience!"

Following the flow of people, Tao Yan rushed into the gate of Oriental Times Shopping Mall. She felt her vision suddenly widened. After the flow of people in front of her entered the Oriental Times Shopping Mall, they basically began to disperse to various parts of the mall, and it seemed less crowded.

The trendy and fashionable design of the shopping mall made Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi feel "luxury" wherever they looked.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a staff member of the Oriental Times Shopping Mall in work clothes spoke to Tao Yan and the others, then took the ticket from Tao Yan's hand, marked it, and handed her a beautifully wrapped gift.

There is nothing fancy in the Oriental Times Shopping Mall. You can get gifts as soon as you enter with your ticket!

"The lucky draw area is located in the central square of the Oriental Times Shopping Mall. If you have time, please go and participate in the lucky draw for a chance to win a prize!"

Holding the gifts, Tao Yan and her friends entered the shopping mall after passing through a lobby that was comparable to the sales center of a real estate developer in their previous life.

There are still people coming and going inside, but after experiencing the scenes outside, the people inside don’t feel so “numerous”.

"Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi looked at each other, then opened their gifts. "Ah!"

Before Tao Yan saw what was in her gift, she heard Jiang Suyi's exclamation.

"This is imported L'Occitane hand cream from France. I heard a classmate in the dormitory bought it. This small bottle costs only 35 yuan!"

"Mine is chocolate!"

Tao Yan opened her gift and saw a box of chocolates inside. Although it was not as expensive as Jiang Suyi's hand cream, it definitely cost a few dollars.

Tao Yan ate a piece of chocolate herself and gave one to Jiang Suyi. It tasted slightly bitter at first, but then a hint of sweetness lingered on the tip of her tongue. Women naturally have no resistance to chocolate.

While eating chocolate, Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi slowly walked into the mall. There were countless people walking around in the popular clothing store on the first floor.

Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi soon joined in. When they saw the first fashionable coat, they were stunned.

They saw that the label on the clothes had the brand name, fabric, company of origin, etc. on it, but what surprised them the most was that it also said purchase price 59 yuan, promotional price 64.9, and gross profit margin 10%.

When seeing the above content, Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi looked at each other in surprise. It was also the first time for them to see this kind of gameplay.

There are many kinds of clothes in the entire mass clothing area, but without exception, they are all labeled like this. They are really "clearly priced" and tell the buyer how much money they make.

The Oriental Times Shopping Mall makes a 10% gross profit margin on that piece of clothing, which also includes taxes, shipping costs, warehouses, employee salaries, etc. People in the industry know this, so the Oriental Times Shopping Mall is not really a scam!
Tao Yan and her friends saw that the labels of these clothes had different colors, which divided them into different products such as promotional models, guaranteed price models, and special price models.

"For promotional and guaranteed-price clothing, if the tags are not removed and sales are not affected, we can refund and return the product in full within one week if you feel it is not suitable!"

"For the guaranteed price, if the price of this clothing item drops within three months, or if the price of the same product in Pingyang City is lower than that of the Oriental Times Mall, we will refund the price difference, or directly refund the full amount, and you can buy it again at the reduced price!"

"But in the special sale area, because of special products such as underwear, for the safety of customers, we do not support returns!"

When Tao Yan and her partner were looking at the dazzling array of clothes, they heard a staff member of the Oriental Times shopping mall behind them explaining the meaning of the labels to a customer. They were both obviously a little surprised, and then they couldn't help but be excited.

After buying, there is a one-week regret period and you can return the product. If the price is too high, you will be compensated for the difference. For people who are born with a shopping gene, how can they resist such temptation?
As for whether the Oriental Times Shopping Mall will go back on its word, look at the chocolates and hand creams in Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi's hands. They haven't even bought anything, but the other party has given them gifts worth dozens of dollars. Will such a wealthy shopping mall cheat them of their small fortune?

Even Tao Yan and the others themselves don’t believe it!
Those who have not experienced a pig-killing scam have never experienced such a situation. In any case, Tao Yan and the others could not withstand it.

In the whole morning, not only did they not finish shopping in the entire Oriental Times Shopping Mall, but Tao Yan and her partner did not even leave the mass clothing area on the first floor.

This is like exploring a map in a game. There is not even 1% completion, and the remaining 99% is an unknown area. For Tao Yan and the others...

If their stomachs hadn't been so full, they would have probably continued looking. When they finally walked out of the mass clothing area, Tao Yan bought a set of clothes. Even Jiang Suyi, who had previously vowed not to buy anything, couldn't help but buy a coat.

Tao Yan and her friends noticed that almost everyone who walked out of the mass clothing area was carrying clothing bags in their hands.

The two followed the signs and came to the Public Food City on the underground first floor. As soon as they entered, a wave of heat hit them, followed by waves of mixed aromas, which made them swallow their saliva and their stomachs growled.

After entering, Tao Yan and her friends saw the Popular Food City, which was surrounded by businesses serving food, and in the middle were tables, chairs and benches placed in a row for users to dine.

After coming in, Tao Yan couldn't help but pull Jiang Suyi and go straight to the store window.

At the same time, at the gate of Oriental Times Shopping Mall, Zhang Xiahai, general manager of Oriental Times, was shouting to the long queue of people in front of the door with sweat on his forehead.

"I'm really sorry, because there are too many people entering the mall right now. In order to ensure everyone's shopping experience, the Oriental Times Mall will suspend entry for half an hour this afternoon!"

"To thank everyone for their support, every customer in line will receive a lunch and drink as compensation. Oriental Times Mall thanks everyone for their support!"

Zhang Xiahai's throat was a little sore from shouting, but there was nothing he could do. The interior of the Oriental Times Shopping Mall was almost packed. After all, it was a shopping mall, and people had to have a shopping experience.

It is impossible for the popular scenic spots during holidays in the previous life to be turned into canned sardines, with nothing to see except the back of the head...

While Zhang Xiahai was in a state of panic here, there was someone in Pingyang who was even more panicked than Zhang Xiahai.

"What, the train station is packed?"

"Are all the hotels, guest houses, and inns in Pingyang fully occupied?"

"Have you finished eating the food at Pingyang Hotel?"
