Originally, there was a fairly neat queue, but it was scattered in an instant, and the police and security guards worked very hard to maintain order, but the number of police and security guards was completely insufficient compared to the people in line.

Xu Qing saw that this was not good, and if something really happened, he took the loudspeaker that had been prepared too long ago from the staff and shouted to those people:

"Friends, please don't cut in line, please line up, I understand everyone's mood of wanting to shop, but today the future convenience store will always be available, so you can definitely buy goods.

Again, please don't cut the line, please line up, otherwise the future convenience store will close early for safety reasons. ”

Many consumers who were squeezing into the future convenience store heard Xu Qing's words and lined up again, and some consumers who were still squeezing had to queue up again under the maintenance of the police and security guards.

These scenes were filmed with cameras by the media arranged by Future convenience stores, which will be good promotional materials.

However, the premise is that those consumers do not have an accident, and if something happens, these scenes are the material for the crusade against future convenience stores.

Bruce looked at the dense crowd at the Future convenience store and exclaimed, "It's crazy that a small convenience store can get so many people in line." ”

Xu Qing said with a smile: "This is normal, the goods of the future convenience store today are equivalent to delivery, and the consumers in this neighborhood are not very wealthy, so it is not surprising that they are so crazy." ”

Bruce added: "It would be even crazier if Future Group's first big shopping mall opened in the future." ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "If it is also today's discount, it will definitely be even crazier, after all, the large shopping malls have more complete items, and I originally planned that when the large shopping malls opened, it would also be this discount."

But seeing the madness of the future convenience store today, I have already considered canceling this plan, otherwise the crazy crowd will not just listen to me and become calm. ”

Xu Qing and Bruce were chatting outside the store while watching the people in line, and the two originally wanted to go into the convenience store to have a look, but when they saw the convenience store that was almost invisible, they dispelled the idea of going in to see.

Xu Qing looked through the glass window of the convenience store and saw the very busy clerks of the convenience store.

Before the opening, Xu Qing thought that there would be such a crazy scene today, so the convenience store clerks were specially invited to a few experienced and capable salesmen.

But in the face of so many crazy consumers, these store assistants are a little overwhelmed.

Although there is a scanner that does not require the clerk to manually enter the price of the product, almost every consumer has purchased a lot of goods, and the clerk can hardly stop as long as he holds the scanner.

What's more troublesome is to find money, because the price of goods is not very expensive, and there is usually more change to find, so it is more cumbersome.

And in order to make sure that they are not looking for the wrong money, the clerks must be attentive when looking for money.

What's more troublesome is that there are a lot of people waiting in line to check out, and although most consumers don't urge store staff to hurry up and find money, this will still put pressure on store staff to speed up the search for money.

However, the area of the future convenience store is so large that it is impossible to increase the number of clerks.

After thinking about it, Xu Qing said to the person in charge of the future convenience store: "The shift change time is shortened, it becomes a two-hour shift, so that the person who is replaced can rest for a few hours, and then change again." ”

Originally, the future convenience store changed shifts three times today, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening.

But in the current situation, Xu Qing felt that those clerks would have very sore hands and dizziness within an hour.

Today is a special case, and in the future, the future convenience store that belongs to the future group will change shifts twice a day, once during the day and once at night, and the one at night includes from early morning to morning.

Of course, this is the case of self-operated stores, and the franchise stores decide for themselves.

Hundreds of future convenience stores have been negotiated across the United States, and they will open tomorrow.

Xu Qing will also attend the opening ceremony of one of the franchise stores tomorrow to show Xu Qing's support for them.

Because there are many future convenience stores opening at the same time, it is impossible for Xu Qing to attend the opening ceremony of each one.

So before Xu Qing made a lottery, wrote the names of those franchise stores on a slip of paper and put them in a box, and then under the gaze of hundreds of franchise store owners, the lottery was conducted.

Whichever franchise store Xu Qing draws, he will attend the opening ceremony of which franchise store.

There is no cheating in the whole process, Tong Su is not bullied, absolutely reliable, and all the shopkeepers believe in Xu Qing.

Xu Qing drew a convenience store in Greenville, Mississippi.

Mississippi's economy is relatively backward, ranking 39th in GDP among the 51 states in the United States, and the franchise store is also the only future convenience store in Mississippi.

Future convenience store franchise stores are basically concentrated in economically developed areas, although convenience stores are not suitable for opening in very prosperous areas, but they are not suitable for opening in very poor areas.

Because the price of convenience store products is generally higher than that of country grocery stores, the products of country grocery stores are usually small brands with relatively low prices, while most of the products in future convenience stores are brands with a certain reputation.

People with underdeveloped economies are more sensitive to commodity prices, so convenience stores are not suitable for opening in particularly poor areas, so they cannot follow the strategy of surrounding cities in rural areas.

Speaking of the countryside surrounding the city, Xu Qing suddenly remembered that the ultra-fast rise of the e-commerce website PDD in later generations relied on the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside to rise rapidly, making the two e-commerce giants in China, Alibaba and JD.com, feel threatened.

In the United States, this strategy may not work, but it may work in China, and Xu Qing feels that when a project is implemented in China, it may also be possible to adopt the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside.

Xu Qing stayed at the Future convenience store for an hour, returned to the villa for lunch, and then came to the airport to fly to Greenville on the Aquila.

The franchise store in Greenville will open at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and Xu Qing needs to go in advance, and it will definitely be too late to go tomorrow.

Xu Qing has not yet been to Mississippi, and all of Xu Qing's companies do not have branches or offices in this state.

There are also no well-known big companies in this state, and the big people need Xu Qing to visit in person.

However, Xu Qing had heard of this place in Mississippi as early as in his previous life, because the geography book had an introduction to the Mississippi River, the fourth longest river in the world, and then Xu Qing knew about this place in Mississippi.

It's good that Greenville, a city with a population of only tens of thousands, has an airport.

Xu Qing's Aquila landed directly at Greenville Airport, got on the car to greet her, and headed to the booked hotel.
