Chapter 52: Waiting
The mall is full of hurried figures, although there is no gunsmoke or cannonball, but it seems to be more cruel than the real battlefield.
Often a small step behind, the goods you want to buy are snatched up. While mall employees are constantly filling stock, waiting for goods to be put on the shelves here often means that other goods are disappearing at a rapid pace.
First!
Get what you want before everyone else.
Plan!
Make a perfect roadmap to get the goods you want!
For many people who have been accustomed to participating in Black Friday shopping since childhood, and even feel that the annual Black Friday shopping carnival is like the sun will rise in the east and set in the west, and the four seasons will go from winter to spring, which is already a natural phenomenon.
The habit of being integrated into the bone marrow makes them feel as if all this is natural.
Since people can adapt to day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is natural that they can also adapt to Black Friday, and draw a route map that they can be proud of.
"Mommy, I want this!" said a small child aloud as he sped along with his mother and shopping cart, braving a cacophony of noise.
"What do you want? don't!" his mother's eyes were blood-red, and her plan was accurate to the second, how could she be interrupted in the middle of a child's willful request.
Shopping is not a treat, it is not a fuss, it can't be so gentle......
The child looked at his classmates with tears in his eyes and said that his friends around him were eager to have a Tetris handheld machine, and if it weren't for the prohibition of child abuse, maybe the mother would immediately give the child who disrupted his shopping plan a slap.
When the child turned around, he suddenly suffocated to the child of William's house next door, but without telling his mother, he directly dragged a "Tetris" handheld from the shelf and stuffed it into the shopping cart.
Little William winked at him, with a smug smile on his face, and the more he looked at it, the more people wanted to beat him.
How could this happen?
The child suddenly realized his naivety just now, why he was not like Little William, who quietly ripped off a Tetris handheld and threw it into the shopping cart. Why did you choose to confront your mother head-on?
If only there was another chance.
Pity......
Children know their mothers very well that they will never repeat the same path a second time on Black Friday.
When it comes to shopping, my mother's shrewdness can't even compare to my father, who studied mathematics and switched to economics.
The child's mother can draw a map of the mall by hand for shopping, and plan a route as if she were studying the Seven Bridges problem. Dad can't do that.
Because of this, my mother often thinks that her husband is stupid, and he is not even half as smart as the male protagonist in the soap opera. Although, the hero in the soap opera is stupid enough......

Although the mall is about to snatch the dog brain from the human brain, the executives of many large manufacturing companies outside the mall, as well as the leaders of the mall, only pay attention to the sales performance.
The shoppers who wander around the mall do not seem to them to be living people, but to live purchasing power.
Although there will be price reduction promotions and other activities on Black Friday, in the face of huge sales, this small profit is nothing.
The most important thing is how to squeeze the last coin in the hands of these purchasing powers.
If it weren't for the fact that the business environment in the United States did not allow it, the money in the hands of purchasing power would be like a leek, and it would take a long time to go back after cutting a stubble.
Otherwise, these capitalists or capitalists' bagbearers want to make consumers go crazy every day on Black Friday.
Nick stood in his office, staring at the lights of the mall in the distance, his eyes focused and his expression nervous.
Although Wanhu has just been established not long ago, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are circles.
Today's 10,000 households have also been divided into factions, and small circles have been formed.
Although Nick does not seem to infringe on the interests of these small circles, there are some people who believe that the headquarters is so supportive of 10,000 households in North America, almost regardless of the cost, is itself infringing on the cake they can eat.
Although Nickelodeon has created more than 300,000 Tetris handheld sales in just over two months in North America.
But for those in a small circle, they think that with such strong support, anyone can go to anyone.
The reason why it is Nick is entirely because of the fact that foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures.
Although these are just rumors, the employees who are trying to interfere with non-violent non-cooperation have been eliminated from the team by the direct intervention of headquarters and even Takahashi.
However, there are many people who don't care about the destruction of order and production by these individuals, but think that Takahashi is favoring Nick.
As a result, Nick, although to many Americans, is a young and gold-collar image, and it seems that he is no less than a Wall Street clerk.
But Nick himself still wants to fight and prove that he can get things done, not just an echo bug, not just a waste who will just lie on the boat and hitchhike.
And the Black Friday shopping spree is his chance to prove himself.
Wanhu headquarters and Wanhu China have fully supported him, and if he fails on Black Friday, it will cause a large backlog of Tetris handhelds.
Even if he really has Takahashi's favor, even if he is not expelled by Wanhu, at least he will leave his current post gloomily.
Although Nick knows that what needs to be done has been done, now he is in a hurry, and he can only wait for the result. But even if he knew, he was reluctant to drop his ass on the chair. He really didn't like the feeling that fate was out of his hands, even though he felt like he had done everything......
If Nick is a Chinese, or a person with a high level of study of Chinese culture, he may think of the phrase "planning is in people, and success is in heaven".

Shopping spree doesn't seem to want to stop, but there is a limit to human physical strength.
Consumers, who think that they have taken a great advantage, the mobile money bag in the eyes of the capitalists, has finally slowed down. People are constantly checking out and leaving.
After a long checkout line, there is a messy mall.
Although for consumers, it is already possible to throw the purchased goods into the car and transport them home.
But for the mall's staff, it's not over yet. Although there are still some shoppers, this is the time to take stock of the sales of goods, summarize reports, and reconcile bills to determine how many "bad debts" there are.
In the present and this era when the performance of computers is low, and paper office is basically used, it is not only difficult to count, but also manual work.
Carrying piles of paper reports back and forth can really keep clerks fit and energetic.
