The king of all people

Chapter 288 Queue up to buy, sales frenzy

It was overcast and rainy, and the dark clouds that formed seemed to be discussed, densely covering all regions of the entire Chinese land.

On the last day of June, it was supposed to be the season to welcome the scorching heat, but everyone unexpectedly felt the power of a "summer" cold.

Southwest border, Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street, CD City.

Next week is the annual Qixi Valentine's Day. Chunxi Road has always been known as the busiest place where people gather in Chengdu. The bosses and employees of various shops are rushing to make arrangements for the interior decoration, and put the The logos are brought forth from the old to bring forth the new, some of the flagship boutiques are small jewelry, and the glass windows of the gift shop are covered with attractive ornaments of different colors.

In recent years, some ancient festivals in China have gradually become popular, and some folk festivals that were almost forgotten by people in the last century have returned to the public's vision.

Qixi Valentine's Day is one of the leaders in this trend.

Love, reunion, dating, because of these three elements, Qixi Valentine's Day has gradually become an auspicious day for men and women in modern cities to express their love.Shopping is an essential thing for men and women to go out. Therefore, after several years of development, Qixi Festival has gradually become a day similar to the later Double 11, a day for all people to shop.

More and more merchants are aware of this, and they have begun to follow suit and learn some successful means of operation, and it is a good time to make huge profits on Valentine's Day and the days before and after the Chinese Valentine's Day.

The decorations they replace are generally improved towards the theme of love close to the Qixi Festival. The heart-shaped posters of Cowherd and Weaver Girl appear frequently. The bosses of every store plan to take advantage of the shopping boom that will be triggered by the Qixi Festival. Promote products in your store...

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Jiao Entong, the owner of the "Ouch" sweet rendezvous gift shop, opened the door of the shop full of joy and expectation.After a three-day renovation by all staff, almost all the products on the shelves in the store were transformed into gifts with Qixi elements. He also specially ordered an artificial heart-shaped apple tree from the Internet, and placed it at the entrance of the store to attract the passing crowd.

According to the practice of the past two years, from the week before Qixi Festival, as long as he opened the door in the early morning, he would be able to see a long line of people in front of the store, couples in pairs Ladies and gentlemen, we are waiting to buy some small gifts that can heat up the relationship between the two of you.

"Haha, it's the annual fortune week again..." Jiao Entong bent over lazily, and was about to accept the baptism of wave after wave of guests, but was abruptly stunned by the scene in front of him up!

The imagined black crowd did not appear...

His eyes widened in the gray sky, but he couldn't even see a single customer standing at the door of his shop waiting to open...

"It's not too rainy, what's going on?" Feeling the pattering rain outside, Jiao Entong instinctively thought that it was because of the weather that the travel plans of the customers who were going to shop had been put on hold.

Sighing helplessly, Jiao Entong turned around and was about to close the door again for a good sleep.Although they made less money, things like rain were out of their control. Thinking that every store had the same experience as him, the loss and frustration that had just risen in Jiao Entong's heart disappeared in an instant.

"Wait...!" Jiao Entong growled in disbelief, and the moment he turned around, he unexpectedly discovered...the "Spring Breeze" genuine record store that was on the verge of closing down across the road , Uncharacteristically, it became lively!
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." Counting the long queue in front of the Spring Breeze Record Store with a sluggish expression, Jiao Enjun couldn't help the urge to cry... There, there were actually five rows of long queues ah!
Even during the Spring Festival, when things are best sold in previous years, when this gift shop is the busiest, there are only two queues!

The store manager of Chunfeng Store, Jiao Entong, knows each other. He once heard him say that the record market is getting worse year by year, pirated music has started to rise unscrupulously, and online MP3 has also been promoted throughout the mainland since the year before last.Due to the mutual impact of these two factors, the business of genuine record stores has plummeted, and the revenue beyond their means has reached the point where they cannot support their families.

Jiao Entong walked a little further, he didn't want the owner of Chunfeng Records to find out that his gift shop was empty.Standing in hiding behind the cable pillar, rubbing his old eyes repeatedly, he actually saw a few couples in the crowd who used to come to his store for consumption!
Not only that, the groups that make up these long queues are almost all young faces.He also observed a strange phenomenon. Both men and women in these lovers had excited expressions at this time, and their bodies were swinging rhythmically, as if it was something to look forward to when they came to a record store to buy an album... …

"Could it be that they've all changed their gender? On the sweet day of Qixi Festival, instead of buying nice little gifts, you go to a record store to buy CDs?" Puzzled, Jiao Entong dragged his cotton slippers and danced around. Akira returned to his shop.

You know, even in previous years, when those couples came to their store to buy gifts for Qixi Festival, the boys often looked indifferent, even reluctant.On the one hand, they want to please their girlfriends, but on the other hand, they are troubled by the expense of buying gifts.

But today... After patting the raindrops on his body, Jiao Entong planned to check it online...

Has the popular wind vane of Qixi Festival changed this year?
The young people plan to express their love to the object through the music in the CD?

"dong dong dong"

The sound of feet stomping on the floor came down the stairs.Soon, Jiao Entong saw his 29-year-old girlfriend Song Ruyue appearing in front of him in a fluffy pajamas.

"Jiyue, why are you in such a hurry? The toilet is upstairs." Jiao Entong hurried forward, due to a business error, his voice was full of weakness, as if he couldn't say anything Interested in general.

"You...! Well you Jiao Entong, it's Valentine's Day on Chinese Valentine's Day soon, and you still put on a lifeless face, are you tired of me? Then tell me clearly!" Song Ruyue Seeing the look in her boyfriend's eyes, she immediately became angry.

"No way... Today's situation is special, I will take you shopping tomorrow, good boy, don't be angry... By the way, you haven't told me why you are dressed like this?" Jiao Entong also knew My tone was wrong, so I hurriedly changed the subject to resolve the embarrassment.

Sensing her boyfriend's softened attitude, Song Ruyue's anger also subsided a bit.Just when I was about to explain clearly to him, I accidentally saw through the window the scene of a sea of ​​people in the video store opposite...

Song Ruyue was furious, she had already made up her mind, if she couldn't order the album "Everywhere" that Li Xian had just started pre-ordering today, she would delay his time with the person in front of her no matter what, it was disgusting boyfriend broke up!
