Chapter 559: Future convenience store opens
Xu Qing selected two from the Xu family's armed forces to be bodyguards, and their abilities have been verified by Carlyle, which is absolutely very good.
Carlyle bought an apartment near the construction site of the Future office building, and when the Future Group moved into the building, Carlyle simply bought an apartment nearby.
Of course, Carlyle's current location is still in the current Future Group.
Imani returned to USC to continue her education, and she was more than a year away from graduation.
Carlyle was transferred to the Future Group as the head of security, and he had a lot of time, at least one day off a week, and he could visit Imani once in a while.
Carlyle didn't follow him, and Xu Qing was a little unaccustomed to it.
After all, Carlyle was by his side when he crossed over, and fortunately, Carlyle worked in the Future Group and could often be seen.
Xu Qing's life has returned to the appearance of a salted fish, and now his greatest pleasure every day is to talk to his daughter.
Xu Qing was sure that her daughter could hear his words and sense his emotions.
Every time Xu Qing spoke to her, her reaction was relatively large, so that Sophia's stomach bulged from time to time.
Sophia was helpless, although her daughter would not make her feel uncomfortable by kicking her in the stomach.
But Xu Qing was talking to her stomach like crazy, and she didn't talk much, the problem was that Xu Qing was always repeating those few words, so that she couldn't speak those words a little now.
It's like looking at a few words, and you notice that you suddenly don't recognize those words, and that's how Sophia feels now.
Xu Qing's often repeated words are: Good daughter, dad is here, do you miss your father, dad misses you very much, I love you the most in the world.
Especially the last sentence, which made Sophia speechless.
Xu Qing loves her daughter the most in the world, so what about her, she is not the most beloved daughter in the world! Also, Xu Qing loves her the most!
Of course, Xu Qing knew that he often talked to his daughter, which made Sophia speechless, but he still went his own way, with his daughter first and his wife second.
However, Xu Qing can only put this sentence in his heart and will not say it, and everyone understands the reason.
Xu Qing's salted fish life was broken again, and he was going to attend an opening ceremony.
With Xu Qing's strong support, after a few months, Xu Qing's first convenience store is finally about to open.
Opening a convenience store is far easier and saves time than opening a large shopping mall.
Xu Qing's first shopping mall has just been addressed, and it will not open until at least half a year later, because Xu Qing directly rents the commercial building that someone else has built.
If Xu Qing buys the land and builds a shopping mall, it will take at least a year and a half before it can open.
Although convenience stores cannot be compared with large shopping malls in all aspects, convenience stores will be an important weapon for Xu Qing to conquer physical retail.
Because of the particularity of convenience stores, usually convenience stores do not open in particularly prosperous places, where the rent is expensive, and there are many large shopping malls, convenience stores cannot survive in very prosperous places at all.
Xu Qing's first convenience store opened in a neighborhood near Chinatown in the Bay Area, which has a very average economic level, and the average annual income of people living here is more than $8,000, which is suitable for opening a convenience store.
At present, convenience stores already have professional brands and are open 24 hours a day, such as 7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan.
But they are all regional convenience store brands, which means that those convenience store brands basically open stores in one country, at most in several countries around the country where the headquarters are located.
There is no convenience store brand that has opened convenience stores all over the world, which is why Xu Qing wants to open a convenience store now, and it is not too late to enter the market.
Xu Qing named his convenience store brand as Future Convenience Store, because Future Group has a huge reputation in the world, and Future Convenience Store can play a good role in publicity.
In the future, if you wait for future convenience stores to spread all over the world, it will in turn be able to play a role in promoting the future group.
There is also a purpose, in the future, the future convenience store can cooperate with the future mall and become a rookie post similar to the future to store the goods purchased by customers in the future mall.
This will greatly help Xu Qing build his own logistics network of Future Mall, killing two birds with one stone.
At half past eight in the morning, Xu Qing came to the Future convenience store, and in order to show his support for the future convenience store, Xu Qing asked all the senior executives of the future group to come.
The Future convenience store opens at 9 a.m. today and will be open 24 hours a day.
This future convenience store belongs to the future group, no matter in the future, the future convenience store will basically be a franchise store, and there will be very few of its own.
There was a large crowd of people in front of the convenience store, and after a cursory look, there were at least a thousand people, most of them housewives.
Because a few days before the opening, the Future Group vigorously promoted the area around the convenience store.
The content of the promotion is very simple and crude, that is, the future convenience store has a discount on today's goods, and today's goods are guaranteed to be sufficient.
Of course, in order to prevent malicious purchases, there is a limit on the number of items that can be purchased per person, but the limit is very high, so it can be said that there is no limit.
For example, each person can buy up to 10 bottles of shampoo, usually the average person buys a few bottles of shampoo at most, and the purchase limit of 10 bottles is equivalent to no purchase limit for the vast majority of people.
Xu Qing looked at the people gathered in front of the convenience store with excited and expectant faces, and suddenly thought of a report that he saw in the future.
During the Black Friday shopping festival in the United States, some people fought with others in order to grab discounted goods.
Don't think that Americans are wealthy, and discounts on goods are very attractive to Americans.
In particular, the discount of the future convenience store is very attractive for this not wealthy neighborhood.
Xu Qing was a little worried about whether the glass door of the convenience store would be crowded, which was really possible.
In fact, if the glass door is crowded, it is a good publicity point, and it can improve the reputation of the future convenience store.
What Xu Qing is really worried about is whether there will be fights or stampedes, because convenience stores are very small and can accommodate dozens of people at most.
Although Future Group has advertised before, the goods at Future convenience stores are guaranteed to be sufficient and will not be unavailable.
But it's hard to guarantee that someone won't worry about not being able to buy it, so they will be in a hurry, and then something happens that Xu Qing doesn't want to see.
Xu Qing has called in dozens of police officers and hundreds of security guards to maintain order and ensure that no tragedy occurs.
If a tragedy occurs, it will have a great impact on the development of future convenience stores.
According to the process, Xu Qing made an opening speech, which originally had 3 minutes for Xu Qing's speech, but seeing those people who couldn't wait to enter the store to buy goods, Xu Qing shortened the testimonial to one minute.
At 9 o'clock, at 8:50 a.m., the Future convenience store officially opened, and a group of hungry people rushed into the convenience store in an instant.
Fortunately, Xu Qing stood aside after speaking, otherwise he would definitely be rushed into the store by these people.
It's crazy!
