At 8:18 a.m. on October 1, 1982, the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain announced its official opening.

Although there was no ribbon-cutting activity and no cannon fire, because of the good publicity in the early stage, there was an unprecedented situation.

As soon as the Faithful grocery store opened, there were hundreds of people waiting outside to get inside, and it was quite a spectacle.

From the gate of the Zhongxin grocery supermarket, to the corner of another street, there is a queue around the corner.

Dong Guozhong and Wang Bo accompanied Li Zhongxin to stand in the distance and watched the crowd one after another, and asked inexplicably: "There were so many activities when it opened, and so much money was spent, why didn't you invite the leaders to come here to cut the ribbon?" Why don't you set off tens of thousands of firecrackers? ”

Li Zhongxin looked at Wang Bo and then at Dong Guozhong, he smiled and replied: "Please leader can't ask for nothing!" Even if it doesn't cost anything, at least give something to the leaders! The cost of inviting a few leaders is very high, not to mention who to invite and who not to invite is another problem. If you have that money, it is better to subsidize the people in the form of activities, and the people will get benefits, and when it comes to buying things, they will consider coming to the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain. ”

After a pause, Li Zhongxin continued: "As for the matter of setting off firecrackers, it is similar to this, when a large supermarket like ours opens, if it is fired, at least tens of thousands of firecrackers must be bought, and when it is released, it is nothing more than a sound. Not to mention that the smoke produced when setting off firecrackers is not good for people's health, the remains of those firecrackers still need a few people to be specially responsible for cleaning up, which not only costs people and money, but also does not get any benefits. If there are disobedient children who go in to pick up those firecrackers that do not go off, it will also be a disturbing thing at that time. The supermarket itself relies on the quantity and quality of goods to win, not to get a few leaders to make the supermarket popular, let alone because of how many firecrackers you set off and prosperous. ”

Seeing Wu Jiangbin from the construction police station and several police officers in police uniforms helping to maintain order and let people line up to enter the Zhongxin supermarket, Li Zhongxin smiled and said: "You two look, when our supermarket opened, people from the police station came to help, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Wang Bo glanced at Li Zhongxin, pursed his lips and said, "Don't you know those two policemen?" You brought those cops over to help, right? ”

Wang Bo was very tired of Li Zhongxin's betrayal of Guanzi, so he just said what he wanted, and he had to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail to show off with him. I'll admit that you're a little, aren't you?

Li Zhongxin glared at Wang Bo angrily, and said solemnly: "The police station is a state institution, and it is also something that an individual can command casually?" You have to learn a lot in the future, so that what you say will not be laughed at by other people. I told Gao Bing, the director of the police station, that when the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain opens, at least a few thousand people will come here to shop, and if there is a problem, it will be a big problem. Now the activities of the police and the people are popular, they come out to maintain law and order, that is, to reduce the trouble for themselves, if there is something wrong on the opening day of our side, that is the headache for them. Also, Gao Bing and I also said that if he can be promoted to the deputy director of the XY District Police Department at the end of the year, then the Zhongxin Grocery Chain will give them a few family members in the police station, and he naturally doesn't want something to happen to our side. ”

Wang Bo touched his head, he didn't understand Li Zhongxin's words very well, but he also knew that what Li Zhongxin said was right.

Seeing that many people over there didn't buy anything, but left happily with sand fruits, Dong Guozhong frowned slightly, and asked: "Faithful!" Look at those people over there, they didn't buy anything, but they still took a pound of sand fruit, if you do this, won't you lose money? ”

Li Zhongxin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said in a hurry: "If you lose money, how can you not lose money?" They took things without spending a penny, and of course I was going to lose money. ”

Wang Bo glanced at Li Zhongxin hatefully, and said with disdain: "Can you still lose money?" The dog laughed. When did you ever see someone lose money when you kid came up with a crooked idea? ”

Li Zhongxin waved his little fist and gave Wang Bo a blow, and while beating, he said with a smile: "What, third uncle, you still made a dog laugh?" Can't I lose money and do good? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhongxin turned his head and asked Dong Guozhong: "Uncle Zhong, tell me, my third uncle said that I can give away sand fruits for free, and I can still make money, is that possible?" ”

Dong Guozhong's black face showed an extremely unnatural expression, he looked at Li Zhongxin, and then at Wang Bo, and then said slowly: "Faithful! I think what your third uncle said is right, you kid is a monkey, no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with losing money, even if you give away everything in the supermarket, I don't think you lose money. ”

Li Zhongxin looked at the two people speechlessly, and said with his fingers crossed: "The price of a pound of sand fruit in the market is a dime and a half cents a catty, one person gives one catty, and if there are a thousand people, that is a thousand catties, that is one hundred and fifty yuan." If 2,000 people receive it, it is 2,000 catties, which is 300 yuan. Isn't that a matter of losing money? How can you still look at me in such a light? ”

"Cut." Wang Bo raised his head, opened his big mouth and said more than a foot long: "Put away your deceitful ghost tricks!" Pay 2,000 catties and pay 300 yuan? Who bought the sand fruit, have you forgotten? You have to find someone who doesn't know the price, don't you?

This year, there is a bumper harvest of sand fruits in the forest farm below, but because there is no means of transportation, they can't sell them, and the wholesale price is four cents a catty. Even if it is 2,000 catties of sand fruit, the cost is only 60 yuan. ”

Wang Bo thought that he had exposed the truth of Li Zhongxin's lying, and the way his eyebrows flew made Li Zhongxin feel a sense of shame.

Li Zhongxin hated Wang Bo's behavior of exposing the old man. He glanced at Wang Bo with an unkind face, and said in a slightly improved tone: "It took you two days to go over there to buy Shaguo, and these two days' wages are not money?" Have you calculated how much diesel money you have come and gone? Have you calculated the cost of loading and unloading? Have you calculated the natural wear and tear on the way back and forth? A mouth is three cents per catty, your family's money is made of gold, how many times have I told you, you should read more, at least the words you say should be lined up. Hum! ”

When the Nanguo pears come down, Li Zhongxin's mother, Wang Yaqing, will buy them in large quantities, and she has loved eating this fruit since she was a child.

The skin of the southern pear is thin and the flesh is thick, and the flesh inside is delicate and soft, and it has a sweet and delicious taste when eaten.

There are very few fruits in the Tohoku region, and you can only eat seasonal fruits when they are in season, and Nankoku pears are one of them.

Although Zhubantun is a suburb, there are no farmers who plant pears in the south, and the most planted in the house are cherries, apricots and sand fruits, and these three are the most in Jiangcheng, because these three trees need to be managed for very little time.

Zhubantun and Fulong did not have this kind of southern pear, so Li Zhongxin asked the people of Zhongxin Company to inquire about it to see where to grow southern pears.

The next day, the good news came from the fishing team on the bike, and they contacted two farms that specialize in planting fruit trees, both of which have southern pear trees.

Li Zhongxin directly told them that these people from the fishing team who rode the bicycle would buy a few catties of Nanguo pears for his mother whenever they passed by there.

Through the fishing team on the ride, Li Zhongxin heard the news that the sand fruit was cheap, so he decided to hold an opening activity to send sand fruit.

Spending less money, doing big things, and making people happy, such a thing, once there is a chance in the future, Li Zhongxin decided to do it.

It's the same at all times, and what you buy is not what you sell. But what! Li Zhongxin is now more interested in spending more money to sell his reputation.

If you buy horse bones, you won't lose money at any time. It's just that these things have been told to Wang Bo and Dong Guozhong, and they won't understand it for the time being, everything needs to be guided by him slowly.

"Why don't we go in and see what's going on inside?" As soon as Wang Bo heard Li Zhongxin say that he should study more, his head hurt, and he immediately diverted the topic.

This bear child, who talks about things by reading books all day long, doesn't look like a nephew at all, who is the uncle and who is the nephew makes him a little confused.

Li Zhongxin glanced at Wang Bo and said, "What's so nice to go in?" We've seen it several times, and things are just like that, can there be any changes? ”

Seeing Wang Bo's mouth pursed high, Li Zhongxin rubbed his nose and said, "Let's go in, except for adding trouble to those employees, there is no help, let's go home and eat sand fruit!" Now there are a lot of good things in the house, don't eat them and wait for them to be bad! ”
