New Year's Day in 1992 is not a very popular word in China, but people know that it is the first day of the Gregorian New Year, so there is still a festive atmosphere, as can be seen from the procession of Yangge in the square.

However, in Shanghai this year, the first day of the new year seems to be a little more noisy than in the past, and the pedestrians who come and go are holding a red color printing paper in their hands, which is gorgeous but not showy, but it is somewhat attention-grabbing.

"Carrefour is open!"

This is the first day of New Year's Day, the whole Shanghai is discussing the problem, although it is only a few five branches, but this is the first time in the history of the whole Shanghai, not only the first time to appear this called a supermarket, it is said that it has been very popular in foreign countries, and open five branches at a time, this is also a big deal, in fact, the biggest gimmick is not these, but the name of these five supermarkets "Carrefour" and it represents the founder of the media as a first-class private enterprise in China, The magical genius writer Zhang Zhenyi.

At this time, on the main road of Lujiazui, Jiangdong New District, the communities on both sides are scattered, and hundreds of top small houses have been built near the water not far away, the lush evergreen trees look particularly good in this cold season, although there are no flowers, but they are also full of green, the green grass on both sides looks a little immature, with new sprouts, it seems that it has just been planted, and it is also a rare evergreen variety.

Today's weather is very face-giving, looking at the sky, cloudless, the bright sunshine in winter sprinkles on the cold ground, reflecting a cluster of heating, people can unscrupulously walk on the streets in the winter, with a slight cool breeze blowing by, it is rare to look a little fresh and leisurely.

At this time, at a big bend in the road, a five-story building that was converted into an oval façade is standing on the street, which is an extremely rare location, in order to win such a set of building stores, it cost nearly 10 million teenagers, and after decoration, the five branches of the entire Shanghai city added up to almost 40 million, and this flagship store accounted for almost one-third.

The money spent can not be seen, but the effect is in front of you, some of the low buildings are extremely atmospheric, the sharp corners of the oval are just like a horn inserted into the main road, on both sides are separated by two avenues, the oval store in front of the original there was a small house, but at this time it was demolished, built a small store square, and the basement that originally existed was hollowed out and connected into an underground warehouse.

As early as the design, the teenager thought about building this flagship store into a symbol of Shanghai, and it will not be outdated for decades, so the materials of the exterior wall are exquisite, all of them are half a meter square of blue-gray stones, which looks simple and heavy, and the solid wood window sill eaves, wide and bright tempered plexiglass from the factory, there is a kind of old European building, but it is also an ancient Chinese lantern and door post.

There are only a few dozens of parking spaces set up in the square in front of the store, most of which are occupied by rain shelters and benches, and there are no parking spaces arranged in the underground warehouse below, but Zhang Zhenyi saw the rooftop parking spaces set up later, how could he ignore such an important link, so on the fourth and fifth floors of the supermarket and on the roof, three parking lots that can accommodate more than 1,000 cars at the same time were all reinforced, which was once understood by Liu Hongyuan at the beginning, but he did not explain, they did not understand that it would be less than ten years later. There will be as many cars as there will be in China.

At this time, in this simple era, in front of the refreshing and spacious door, there are several inconspicuous small flower baskets, all of which are presented to each other by their branch managers, in addition, there is no trace of the joy of opening, this opening did not alarm many people, in addition to distributing more than 100,000 leaflets, did not invite a leader and visitors, not even fireworks, but suddenly quietly opened the door in this morning.

But this can't stop people's curiosity, although some people have flyers in their hands that say what this supermarket does, but they don't dare to walk into the store in front of them that looks a little luxurious and elegant, for fear that they will be pitted as soon as they enter.

But human curiosity is the most interesting thing in the world, once curiosity arises, it can't help it, although it will be slow at some point, but when there is a leader, people will not care about that much.

"Look, there's someone going in over there!"

"Hey, look, they're going in too, so why don't we go in and have a look!"

"Let's go, it's a big deal to spend a few hundred dollars in my pocket!"

"Allah is going to have a good time today, is Nong going?"

"Let's go, let's go together!"

Curiosity finally overcame the concerns in the heart, when a passer-by took the flyer in his hand to enter, the dazzling array of containers suddenly made them forget all the things, buried in the supermarket nearly 1,000 square meters of shelves, even the time can not be taken into account, and when it comes to the checkout, I thought that today would be slaughtered fiercely, but suddenly found that it was one or two percent cheaper than what I usually bought, and I immediately went crazy.

The whole morning Carrefour flagship store seemed a little deserted, probably received more than 100 customers, less than 100,000 business classes, but then a scene made those first business salesmen stunned, just after 12 o'clock at noon, I suddenly saw a group of excited and slightly questioning customers into the supermarket, without saying a word, took a lot of things to pay directly, and after a while it received hundreds of customers, and then the scene was even more stunned.

I saw a group of people strolling and trotting into the supermarket, but in half an hour squeezed into nearly a thousand people, the supermarket immediately seemed extremely crowded, and through the glass curtain wall also saw more and more people outside, it seems that people understand the benefits of the supermarket in the morning, the same is true of several other supermarkets, no one patronizes in the morning, even more bleak than the flagship store, just when the salesmen are depressed, the afternoon crowding caught them off guard.

At this time, Wang Chaojun, the manager of the flagship store, and Zhang Zhenyi, the store supervisor of the temporary cameo, were calmly commanding the salesman, the teller, and the warehouseman to replenish the goods in an orderly manner, count the numbers, settle the financial and other procedures, after experiencing the madness of the head office in southern Anhui, they both seemed a little unimpressed, but they did not dare to relax at all.

"Hurry up, Xiao Wang, you hurry up and replenish this container."

"And you, hurry up and clean up these broken glasses, and remove the things over there, this passage is too narrow."

"I said you, what are you running around, put the personnel over there in order, don't panic!"

“－－”

The young man on the side swept to several other on-duty rotation managers at a glance, and all of them were dispatched, and everyone took the initiative to be responsible for a region, but at this time, Wang Chaojun took more than a dozen young people to the door to maintain it, and establishing a good image is not only a problem in the store, but also the consistent low quality of the Chinese people, at this time the outside of the store has been crowded and unable to move, fortunately, Zhang Zhen expected it early on, and set up exits at the frontage of the two main roads, which greatly eased the pressure of checkout, The checkout terminal that usually opens the door will do, and the other two will be opened now.

"Shao Dong, there are not many materials in our store anymore, are we using the warehouse?"

As the boy stared at the cash register, a sweaty vice president squeezed over from the crowd and shouted in his ear.

"Okay, you have to settle the consumption of materials, don't leak it!"

The man nodded and squeezed out, with a look of excitement on his face.

"Fortunately, the store on the second floor is not open yet, otherwise there might be a stampede today!"

Zhang Zhenyi secretly sighed, he had seen the crowded scene of 10,000 people in southern Anhui, but he didn't expect that Shanghai was even crazier, in fact, this is normal, what is the population of Shanghai, just around the Lujiazui community, and there are people who gather here to work, adding up to more than two southern Anhui counties, and this kind of hypermarket self-selection and self-purchase model, who doesn't like it, the environment is good, the waiter is careful and the attitude is good, and the things are affordable and cheap, they are all crazy.

In fact, on the second floor of the supermarket, there is a large store, but it has not yet opened, Zhang Zhenyi plans to take the high-end route, in the investment inside, just like the later generations, decorated into a hardcover small storefront, so that some well-known domestic brands stationed in it, in the near future, but also want to build a huge retail empire, build a retail building, all the categories are concentrated, but this requires extremely amazing funds, contacts and fame, the current Carrefour is not enough to bear such a reputation.

For a whole day, the Carrefour flagship store was overcrowded, which lasted until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and more than 100 people in the store stared at each other and laughed, and then closed the door and fell to the ground one by one.

"Uncle Wang, you quickly order someone to clean up the store, and the situation of the warehouse is complete, settle the accounts, replenish the containers, and there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, this is the best moment to start our Carrefour, if this time is successful, then it will be difficult for anyone to shake our position in the future, and the domestic sales giant is our first."

The boy was not like everyone else, he called a dozen general managers and deputy managers very rationally, held a brief meeting, and sent the content to the rest of the stores, and then everyone endured fatigue and acted excitedly again, but they looked at the location of the business desk from time to time, where a few female salesmen were busy, and the final result was the result of their day.

"Shao Dong, the results are out!"

"Okay, everyone stop and call everyone to announce our results for today."

Zhang Zhen said loudly, he knows that the Great Wall is not built in a day, nor is it built by one person, which requires the efforts of everyone, and they, as entrepreneurs, also need to enjoy such a fast time at the moment of victory.

"Today, our final turnover is 15,253,461 yuan."

"Whoa, whoa!"

"Hahaha!"

"Well done! Oh my god, that's a lot of money! ”

"Just look at the boxes around them, you can see how many of them are loaded!"

"Everyone is quiet and quiet, in order to commend everyone for their hard work in the day, I decided to open the five stores this time, the basic salary will be paid as usual, and in the first week of opening, each person will be given an additional bonus of 2,000 per day, regardless of the size of the position."

As soon as the young man's voice fell, everyone immediately screamed, and the noise was deafening, in this era, two dollars a day, seven days and fourteen thousand is a huge amount of money that frightens people to death, 10,000 households! The entire branch may have nearly 500 people, and this time it is a huge sum of nearly 7 million, and when the news reaches the ears of every employee, everyone can't help but applaud their boss.
