The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 81
The first one who couldn't stand was Uncle Lin. He walked back and forth, his face full of anxiety.

"Uncle Lin, don't walk around, my eyes are going to blur." Zhao Ming said with a wry smile.

Uncle Lin asked anxiously: "Can I not walk around? There are so many people looking at things, but no one makes a purchase. Can I not be in a hurry?"

Auntie Fat also frowned and said, "Is there a problem? Our smiles are so sincere, and it can be seen that they all want to buy it, but they think the price is too high. Should we..."

Zhao Ming waved his hand directly and said, "No, there is no need to lower the price, everyone just needs to do their job well. It's only been an hour, and you have to give others time to adapt."

Everyone said that when they saw Zhao Ming, and it was difficult to say anything, but their expressions and looks betrayed them, typical of disbelief.

At first they saw so many people watching the ribbon-cutting ceremony, they thought there would be a lot of guests, but in the end there were really a lot of guests, but all of them just watched but didn't buy, it was useless.

The reason for all this is that the price is too expensive, but Zhao Ming insists on this and refuses to let go, so he has to use such a high price.

The customers in the store walked around, everyone's face was full of surprise, they found what they wanted to buy, but after seeing the price, they turned into bitter faces.

It's too expensive!

After an hour, some people left, and after two hours, more people left, but more people came after hearing the news.

But these people all have the same expression, the price is too expensive, so no one wants to buy something, but some people spend money to buy a pack or two of toothpicks or chopsticks.

Although there is dissatisfaction on the face, but the family is in urgent need, so there is no other way.

Some people also bought a can or two of Coke, just casually, and the price was [-]% higher than that in the industrial area, but they felt itchy to not buy it when they saw it.

These are very few, almost negligible, but they are better than nothing, and it made the shop assistants calm down.

"Who is your boss? Isn't the price too exaggerated? It's [-]% more expensive than what I bought in the industrial zone."

"That's right, Zhao Ming himself is a worker, so the price is so high? I'm going to sue him for raising the price indiscriminately."

"I finally found what I wanted here, and it is very convenient, but the price is too expensive, can it be cheaper?"

"Why haven't you negotiated the price yet? Are you embarrassed to charge so much?"

"Don't buy it, don't buy it, it's so expensive and I don't want to bargain."

"I've always wanted to buy this instant noodle, but I didn't know where it was located in the industrial area. Now I found it, but it's so expensive. Isn't your store too bad?"

"There are also things for the New Year. I am near here. It would be too far and too laborious to go to a special industrial area. But let me spend more money to buy from you, and I will not come if I am killed."

"The store is too bad, let's boycott Zhao Ming together."

The originally harmonious store suddenly became full of resentment, many people complained that the store was too black-hearted, and it was a complete scam.

The price is so high, and the price is not negotiated, it is simply an overlord.

There are many people who come to this store, and there are a lot of them.There are Zhao Ming's colleagues, there are also reporters and spectators, there are also people who failed to apply for the job before, and some people who found that there are really good things but don't buy them after knowing that they are too expensive.

Too much is too much.

But they all have a feature, that is, they complain that the price is too expensive.

Even Zhao Ming's former colleagues all had wry smiles and approached Zhao Ming to talk about the matter.

Lao Huang complained: "Old Zhao, you are not doing business at all. If the price is set so high, others will not buy it even if they find something they like."

"That's right, Lao Zhao, you're not authentic like this. Everyone is a neighbor, and your price is too high, what do others think of you?" Hao Bin smiled bitterly: "I was here to cheer today, but the money is not worth it. Not enough."

Qiu Rong also shook his head and said, "I saw a good seasoning sauce, and I was about to buy it, but it turned out to be too expensive. It's more expensive than in the industrial area."

Regarding these words, Zhao Ming said with a smile: "Just take what you like, but remember to bring enough money next time, you can't just be free every time you are an old friend, these are all accounted for. Haha... ..."

The three of them shook their heads directly, and said seriously: "It's not easy for you to run a store. It seems that you haven't paid for it for a long time. We'd better spend money to buy it. It's a support for you."

Some colleagues also spent money to buy some favorite things, but Zhao Ming didn't stop them.But he asked Cheng Qingqing to remember it, and then he would return the gifts one by one.

There were only a few people who spent money in the store in the morning, and the smiles of the shop assistants were almost stiff, and their hearts were even more stiff.

One morning, although there are many people, but no one spends money to buy it.They have almost given up, and now they are completely working, and they don't have any hope for the store.

Seeing the customers complaining about the price, seeing the ridicule of those who failed to apply for the job together, and the footage of some journalists capturing information, they felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Is the store really hopeless?

Or maybe there is, that is to lower the price, but Zhao Ming has made it clear that there will be no price reduction, let alone a chance.

After half a day, at noon, there were fewer customers, and the shop assistants took turns to be on duty.

Buyer Wu Zhong and the others approached Zhao Ming and told about their hard work and worries.

Wu Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, you asked us to prepare more goods. Now the storage room is full, and the car is also full, but the goods on the shelves are hardly moved. This is a waste. "

Others also complained one after another, saying: "Boss, why don't we go return the goods, and let's talk about it after selling the things on the shelves."

Zhao Ming chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you have to get ready for work quickly, I'm afraid someone will come to buy it soon, even if the things you have now may not be enough."

Everyone smiled wryly and shook their heads. They were not as optimistic as Zhao Ming.Today is the opening, and so many people have been attracted with the help of advertisements. If there is no business today, when will there be business?
And the most people came this morning, almost filling up the entire store, but still no one paid, so do you still hope for the afternoon?Maybe no one came this afternoon.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad and cold.

The salesmen rested for a while in shifts, and continued to work after eating.

Suddenly Wu Zhong came back again, holding several newspapers, with an ugly expression on his face.There were two people behind him, both shop assistants, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

"Boss, something is wrong." A look of panic flashed across Wu Zhong's face, and he came to Zhao Ming who was sitting idle at the door of the lounge.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, but Zhao Ming waved his hands and said, "What happened? It's not good for the guests to see it in such a panic."

Wu Zhong restrained his expression now, but the anxious look in his eyes did not diminish. He handed the newspaper to Zhao Ming and said, "These several local newspapers have reported on the opening of our store today."

Everyone showed joy when they heard the words, Tang Yuan smiled and said: "This is a good thing, more newspapers help us spread the word, this is a free advertisement."

"Haha, that's right, so we can let more people know about our store." He Yi was also beaming with joy.

Wu Zhong said anxiously: "Thinking too much? Their propaganda is not positive at all. You read the newspaper yourself, what did they write? It's just nonsense."

Everyone looked at the newspaper in Zhao Ming's hand after hearing the words. Uncle Lin and the others took one or two copies and looked at it, and their faces immediately collapsed.

"New engineer Zhao Ming opens a store, and customers come like a cloud, but they don't pay! "

"Zhao Ming's store has more people and less money!" "

"There are many customers but they don't pay the bill. Is this Zhao Ming's failure? "

"Zhao Ming's miracle cannot continue after all, the store may become a joke!" "

These are real-time local newspapers. Some news should have been released tomorrow or at night, but many newspapers want to snatch the headlines of this matter, so they broadcast it in advance.

As a result, they wrote these things in one morning.

Wu Zhong said angrily: "Boss, these people are too much, they are simply scribbling, should we let them revise?"

Tang Yuan was also very angry, and said: "That's right, we still have many customers who bought things, why do they write like that?"

He Yi pondered and said: "They are simply discrediting us."

Although they said so, they knew in their hearts that this was simply the truth.There are indeed a lot of people in the early morning, and even now there are many people walking around in the store during the break.But when people say that they have worked hard for so long to open a store, they naturally feel uncomfortable.

Chen Mei looked at Zhao Ming and said, "Boss, what are your plans?" After working for Zhao Ming, she was also used to being called boss in front of outsiders.

Zhao Ming shrugged and said, "No plan, they can write whatever they like, anyway, the pen is in their hands. We just need to wait, the guests will always come."

Cheng Qingqing raised her fist and said, "Do you want me to beat them up for you?"

Zhao Ming was speechless for a while, and said: "You are so good at fighting, why don't you go to heaven?"

Cheng Qingqing twitched her lips and said, "There is no reward for kindness."

Everyone didn't respond to seeing Zhao Ming, and returned to their jobs helplessly.After these newspapers came out, naturally not only Wu Zhong and others saw them, even though they had a limited audience, most of the people who paid attention to this matter could still see them.

Many caring or unintentional spectators have all seen these reports, some are silent, and some directly started a lively discussion.
