Chapter 69: Winning the lottery
In the afternoon, business in a supermarket was extremely hot. People who watch the excitement are curious, who can take the TV away, and the people who go in to consume are anxious, for fear that the TV will be taken away by others, therefore, people who are interested in the lottery don't even choose the product, and hurry up to get enough items for a hundred yuan, and then hurriedly come out to line up for the lottery.
Chen Shi didn't come to the supermarket in the afternoon, but from He Chunming's phone call, he already knew how hot the business was. It is said that the membership card alone has sold dozens of copies today, and the sales in the morning have exceeded 500,000. One million sales, net profit is at least hundreds of thousands, this is just a day, Chen Shi think about it, it feels like a dream, retail supermarkets are so profitable? No wonder those large squares, the most eye-catching is a big supermarket.
Thinking of large supermarkets, he immediately thought of the People's Square in Lincheng, which is about to be completed, and then the international large supermarket Wal-Mart will settle in, if he can negotiate the right to settle in before Wal-Mart, then Yijia Supermarket will take off, at least he will not be limited to a county.
But is it possible? Not to mention that Wal-Mart is many times larger than he doesn't know, the rent alone discourages him, not to mention the rumors of Wal-Mart's so-called five-kilometer death circle.
It is said that the Wal-Mart supermarket is five kilometers around, as long as it is a retailer, it will die, and every time it opens, it will go bankrupt, and over time, there are rumors of a five-kilometer death circle. If he robbed Wal-Mart of food, then wouldn't the other party directly open a supermarket within five kilometers of him to force him to death? Although Lin Cheng is good, it is not a prey within his ability, and it would be good to do a good job in the county seat now, if it can, then expand to the county seat next door, and it is impossible to say that a rural area surrounds the city.
After school in the afternoon, my sister Chen Ying came back, and then couldn't wait to say, "Brother, I've thought about it." ”
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Have you thought about it, do you want to sing or act?" He thought that his sister should choose a noble goal, which should be either an actor or a singer.
However, Chen Ying replied: "I want to be a star first, and I have to be famous first before I can have the opportunity to act and sing, if I am not famous, people will not look for me, do you say? You see that many big stars in Hong Kong are like this, and when they are famous, they don't necessarily have good acting skills, like Andy Lau, he didn't sing at the beginning, and he heard that it was hard to listen to when he started singing, but don't you think people are good at acting and singing well?"
Chen Shi really didn't think that his sister would have such an idea, but now that she is in junior high school, no matter what, even if she wants to be famous, it is still early, so he said: "You are still young now, wait until you go to high school, but if you are interested, you have to learn some singing and dancing, I will find you some books in acting, and you can hire a teacher, first you have only one purpose, that is, to learn, and you have to learn to be a star, you know?"
Chen Ying knows that what her brother asked her to learn is of course not mathematics, physics and chemistry that people can't understand, but what she is interested in, the ability to be a star, singing, dancing, and acting are all things she likes, so there is no problem with learning, and the problem now is that she wants to grow up quickly.
Chen Shi talked to his sister for a while, and He Chunming called, saying that the first prize had been drawn and asked him to come over to present the award, as the owner of the supermarket, of course he had to go to the scene, so he had to leave.
When he went to the supermarket lottery site, he saw a lot of people surrounding, he squeezed in, saw He Chunming, and immediately asked, "How is the situation? Who won the first prize?"
He Chunming pointed to the crowd and said, "It's this little brother, see he's still a minor." ”
Chen Shi was shocked when he saw it, isn't this his younger brother Chen Dong? How could it be that he won the lottery? Chen Shi frowned and said, "Why is he?"
He Chunming didn't know why, and he didn't know Chen Dong, so he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Chen Shi directly pulled Chen Dong out of the crowd and said, "What are you doing here? Who asked you to buy something?"
Chen Dong was also very puzzled, he didn't know that the supermarket was actually his own, he only knew about what his brother did, he only knew about an Internet café and a restaurant, and never knew that there was a supermarket, and Chen Shi didn't say it in front of him, so he was stunned and said: "Brother, you said that this supermarket is ours?"
Chen Shi said: "Nonsense, why did you come here to buy something? I haven't seen what you bought before, and I'm so happy today?"
Chen Dong didn't want to buy anything, but he couldn't stand the instigation of his classmates, and he saw that he had a chance to win the lottery, so he spent a hundred yuan, but he didn't expect to win the lottery when he won the lottery, which was an accident in an accident.
Chen Dong said: "Brother, I won the lottery, you should be happy! Why is your face so ugly?" In the past, Chen Dong was a person who dared to talk back to Chen Shi in person, although now Chen Shi has grown up, his business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has prestige, but Chen Dong thinks that he is reasonable, and of course he dares to refute.
Chen Shi didn't want to explain to him, so he turned around and asked He Chunming: "There is no cheating in the lottery, right?" He was a little skeptical, is there someone in the supermarket who knows his younger brother and wants to give him a surprise? But no one knows, he doesn't like such a surprise, if others know that the winner of the first prize is the boss's younger brother, then the reputation of the supermarket will be affected, and then the customer will be the first to suspect, as soon as he doubts, the reputation will be gone, and without the reputation, the company will die.
He Chunming shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, we didn't know who he was before, and we didn't expect it to be the boss's younger brother, but this should be a surprise, since we won the prize, it must be awarded." "He Chunming's meaning is very simple, we don't know your brother, and there is no possibility of cheating, since we won the prize, then it is important to present the award first no matter what.
Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Forget it, if you don't count this time, you won't win the lottery." ”
He Chunming frowned and said, "However, the news has already been released, and besides, you see that so many people are watching now, do you think they are blind?"
Chen Shi looked outside, and sure enough, the crowd was sensational, everyone was waiting to see the awards, if the first prize was not dealt with, they would lose confidence, and the number of people who bought things would be reduced a lot. He thought for a moment, then picked up the microphone on the table and patted it.
"Hey, hey!" tried the microphone, and then he said: "Hello friends, everyone, I am Chen Shi, the owner of the supermarket, and I came here to present the first prize." ”
The crowd looked at him and waited for him to continue. He paused a little and then added: "But now something is wrong, I announce, the first prize drawn before does not count, you can continue to draw, I will wait here, if anyone draws the first prize, I will give him a prize, a TV." ”
Everyone talked about it, and suddenly someone asked: "Why don't you count?" Obviously, you have won the lottery, are you bullying other students? Doesn't it count if a student wins the lottery?" Most of the people who asked the question were dressed as students, and it should be Chen Dong's classmates who fought for him.
Chen Shi explained with a smile: "It's not a secret, it was my brother who won the lottery just now, my own supermarket, if my family wins the lottery, then someone will definitely say that I am a left-handed right-handed game, and there is no prize at all, so I decided that the previous first prize is not counted, the prize is still in the lottery box, and each of you has a chance." ”
Hearing this, those students suddenly realized, and everyone immediately pointed at Chen Dong, some were envious, some were jealous, some were happy for him, and some thought that he had no prize in the lottery, which was a pity.
But these are not Chen Shi's things, after he announced the news, he asked He Guoqiang and the employees to explain again, and to spread the news everywhere, to let everyone know that the boss's younger brother won the prize, but in order not to let everyone misunderstand, so the prize was deliberately confiscated and redrawn, everyone still has a chance, so, there are more people who buy things in the supermarket unconsciously, and some of them didn't want to draw a lottery, but after hearing the news, they immediately decided to spend a hundred yuan and prepare for the lottery.
As soon as this matter was over, Chen Shi pulled Chen Dong and prepared to go home. Chen Dong said stubbornly: "It's not fair, why can't I win the prize? Why can't I deal with the prize? Aren't you going back on your word?"
Chen Shi smiled and said: "You didn't know that the supermarket was our family before, but now that you know, do you still think it's unfair?" If the prize is taken away by you, it is called unfair, others will say that the boss deceived them, and the first prize that was said to be good was actually taken away by his own brother, isn't this boring?"
was a little bit by Chen Shi, Chen Dong immediately understood what was going on, but he was just unwilling, and retorted: "But, but I really didn't cheat, obviously I got it by luck, why wouldn't others believe it?"
Chen Shi explained: "It's not that the people of the world don't believe it, but they are jealous, they are jealous of your good luck, obviously your family has opened a supermarket, why are you so lucky to win the jackpot?
Chen Dong may or may not understand, but he no longer shouts, and seems to have resigned himself to his fate and given up the TV.
Chen Shi asked him, "What did you buy for a hundred yuan?"
Chen Dong showed him the things he bought, only to see some daily necessities, some clothes, and notebooks and other learning tools, a lot of miscellaneous, he actually went to buy things to win the lottery, I didn't expect him to be so lucky.
Chen Shi asked him again: "Why do you have to have that TV?
