The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year.

In fact, Xiao Nian does not refer to a festival, and due to the different customs in different places, the festivals called "Xiao Nian" are also different. There are different concepts and dates in different places.

In the northern region, it is the 23rd day of the lunar month, and in the southern region, it is the 24th lunar month.

Amagi is a northern city, so "Xiao Nian" refers to the twenty-third day of the lunar month. At the beginning of the year, people have to prepare for the New Year. In the early days, couplets were pasted, pigs were killed, and sacrifices were made. It means that people begin to prepare for the New Year, prepare to have a good year, indicate that the new year should have a new atmosphere, and express the good wishes of the majority of working people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

Now the taste of the year is light, many customs have subtly changed the form, and the development to the present, the people in the north of the small year on time mean that they have begun to clean, wash what should be washed, what should be shabu, and what should be bought.

To put it bluntly, the twenty-third day of the lunar month is like a starting gun, telling people that there are seven days left to reach the battlefield during the Spring Festival, please prepare RMB and crush them!

With the sound of this starting gun, all large and small merchants in Tiancheng ushered in the golden period of Spring Festival consumption.

It's just that this year's golden period is not that high—maybe it's still dog-headed gold.

Half past ten in the morning.

On the square at the main entrance of the Stellar Commercial Capital, a large performance stage has been erected. Although the temperature was as low as minus 18 degrees, the actors on the stage were still wearing flesh-revealing costumes, with stiff movements and "excited" faces.

The song "We Are Different" was forced by the pitiful, only wearing a slim suit of the male singer who sang the twists and turns of "Lover's Fans" in the two-person turn "Lover's Fans" like "Your walls are high, and you build forts everywhere".

There were a lot of people in the square, but all I could see were old men and old ladies who came to mix the prizes and watch the excitement.

In the commercial capital, there are many people.

There are also many customers in each store who are trying on shopping, but if you look closely, you can see that almost all of the stores have an unconcealed anxiety on the face of the owner or manager.

That's right, it's anxious!

The mall opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and now two and a half hours have passed, and the sales volume is not as much as last Saturday's mall member day!

"Is there a mistake! This is a mid-year sale! Let's buy 100 against 20!"

Only counter, the store manager Xiao Liu looked at the order quantity of the system, and immediately bit his lip.

At the general service desk of Shangdu, general manager Ren Qian walked here for the fourth time in one morning: "How is the situation!?"

The microcomputer operator Xiao Zhang Gabba gabbed, "Mr. Ren, why don't you watch it together at night?" ”

"I'm coming to see your sister at night! Surprise, surprise!" Ren Qian was crazy in her heart, and said directly with a cold face: "I asked you how the situation is!"

Xiao Zhang was frightened for a moment, and said: "It's still like that, from half past nine to half past ten, except for the underground supermarket and the cinema on the fourth floor, our turnover is ...... 70,000 9. Since the opening of the doorway now, the total turnover is ...... 150,003. ”

Huaxing merchants have adopted a unified collection model in shopping malls, and the business performance of all stores is clear at a glance.

"Damn!"

Ren Qian couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

She vividly remembers this time last year, from the first floor to the fourth floor, in front of all the cash registers, there was a long line of customers who came to pay their money.

The nearby Post Bank sent a special deposit cart to collect the whole amount of cash and bring a large amount of change every hour.

From the opening to ten o'clock, the turnover of the entire business capital has exceeded the million mark!

But now, in front of every checkout counter in the mall, there are only a few sporadic customers. And the performance is almost ten times worse!

Compared with the two, on the first day of this year's big promotion, I think it was on the street.

At this moment, Ren Qian's mobile phone rang. It was the postal bank that called and asked if it was necessary to send someone over to help with the deposit.

"I don't need to!"

She said angrily and hung up the phone.

Within the logistics park.

The goods hoarded in front of the various cargo stations are still being delivered outward, but at this time, there are bursts of shouting and scolding in the park.

"Uncle Wori! Our convoy was called by your cargo station, how many fucking customers did Lao Tzu push for the work of your cargo station? Now that there is no goods to leave, what do you let us eat for the New Year?"

"That's it! Lao Tzu left his family and business to come to Tiancheng, and he plans to run a few good jobs to get money to go home for the New Year! Let's go home with a mouth and fool the mother-in-law?"

"Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't care! If you call us here, you have to give money! If you have goods, you will run by trip, and if you don't have goods, you will run by day! 1,000 a day, from now until the New Year, Lao Tzu will not have 8,000 yuan to dismantle your cargo station! Or you will give us oil money and delay wages now!"

"That's right! Pay for gas and pay for delayed wages!"

This kind of angry scolding is not isolated in a certain cargo station. It's happening in almost all major cargo terminals.

There was no shipment, and the fleet that had been prepared by the cargo station was empty. Most of these trucks are hired from other places, and very few are local. Now that there is no response from the cargo station, and there is a intention to let them leave, how can they agree?

You know, the period of years before and after the year is all fat work. Now these cargo stations don't use them, and if you go to the employer, you will lose a lot of money.

The bosses of the logistics park are already sweating profusely at this time, and they are now talking about eating coptis dumbly.

If you want to talk about losses, the losses of the cargo station are really big. In order to cope with the peak at the end of the year, a large number of short-term workers and fleets were hired at high prices, but now the shipment volume is too low, and all the previous careful preparations have become a burden.

Looking at the surging and vicious truck drivers, they cried heartily...... It's all there!

Republic Fruits.

The boss Cao Wenxuan seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, calling various stores over and over again.

"Hey?!Is it the North 2nd Road store?How are you doing now?Have you seen many customers?Not yet?Is the sales not as good as yesterday?"

"Why don't you sell how much did you sell yesterday?"

"What?!It's only been sold for 2,000 yuan since it opened?Grandma! What are you eating!"

"Increase the intensity of the activity for me! Increase it for me! Your store will immediately organize people for me to distribute leaflets on the street! Drain me and drain me!"

Cao Wenxuan roared at the phone, thinking about the big cold storage he built last year. Thinking of the more than 10 million fruits and vegetables inside, most of which have a shelf life of only 10 days, my heart is like the temperature outside at minus 18 degrees, and my heart is cold!
