Since the supermarket was preparing to open in three days, besides the goods shipped from the Meitehao headquarters, publicity was also crucial.
What was the main principle of all supermarkets in the world?
It was to be cheap! Cheap! And even cheaper!
Supermarkets weren't about high prices, but about volume!
Small profits, quick turnover!
Even if they only made a dime per jin of eggs, cabbage, potatoes, or carrots, it wouldn't stop people from buying them in large quantities, ten or eight jin at a time, as if it were nothing!
Therefore, the moment the supermarket opening was decided, Qin Chuan sternly ordered that the advertising be done to the best of their ability.
In the small county town of '98, many flyers were still printed on black and white paper to save money, but the effect was terrible. The print was blurry, lifeless, and had no appeal.
Many people used them as toilet paper!
But to Qin Chuan, this small expense was nothing. He insisted on colorful printing for all flyers.
Following the advertising template provided by the Meitehao headquarters, Qin Chuan waved his hand and ordered at least five thousand copies to be printed.
The moment the colorful flyers came out, everyone who saw the exquisite promotional images on them had a spark in their eyes.
They were simply beautiful!
On the flyers, each item was so lifelike, as if it were real.
These weren't just flyers; they were exquisite picture albums that could be used as decorations if pasted on the wall.
More importantly, the prices of the goods on them were incredibly low!
Eggs were only five mao per jin!
Tomatoes were two mao nine per jin!
Green beans were two mao two per jin!
Potatoes were one mao eight per jin!
Pork was only two yuan and nine mao per jin...
Such low prices shattered the lowest prices in all the county town's vegetable markets.
While the flyers were still at the printing shop, they attracted a crowd of onlookers who were discussing animatedly and couldn't hide their excitement, constantly asking the Meitehao supermarket staff if it was true.
"Of course it's true!"
Yao Hua, who was in charge of printing the flyers, showed a sweet smile on her pretty face and patiently explained, "We are such a large supermarket like Meitehao, and we've even made promotional flyers. How could it be fake?"
"Also, everyone, don't just focus on the cabbage, potatoes, and pork that are only one or two jin. Those things are indeed very cheap, but the prices of other items are also very reasonable!"
As she spoke, Yao Hua picked up a flyer and pointed to the product images on the back, introducing, "Everyone, look, besides the basic necessities, our supermarket also sells other goods!"
"We have alcoholic beverages and drinks, as well as general merchandise, children's toys, grains, oils, and seasonings. You'll find common items like dish soap, laundry powder, soap, pots, and bowls here!"
"In addition, we have many electrical appliances, such as gas stoves, electric griddles, kettles, tape recorders, radios, and other small appliances, all available!"
Yao Hua spoke fluently and clearly, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the printing shop, who all looked on with curiosity.
"Any electrical appliance purchased from us comes with a three-guarantee warranty. If there are any quality issues within the warranty period, we will help resolve them!"
"Young lady, are you telling the truth?"
Everyone was captivated by Yao Hua's explanation. If this was true, then there would be a good place to buy small appliances in the future.
After all, a large supermarket like Meitehao naturally inspired trust, far more reliable than other small stores.
While Yao Hua was in charge of the flyers, the Meitehao supermarket was also buzzing with activity. Two semi-trailer trucks, each thirteen meters long, were parked at the main entrance of the supermarket.
Below, a crowd of employees were busy unloading goods and stocking them into the supermarket.
"Be careful! Everyone be careful!"
"Handle them gently!"
The elderly couple, Qin Shuren and Jiang Cuihua, were already present, supervising the work. Every item here represented their money, so they had to be extremely careful and cautious.
Outside, workers were unloading, while inside, attentive employees were arranging them on the shelves. Each person was performing their duties perfectly, with seamless coordination.
Qin Chuan was also present. On such an important day, the big boss naturally had to show up. He even joined the employees in moving goods, sweating profusely.
Li Ya also came to help.
Additionally, Qin Yang, Qin Gang, Yao Dong, Chen Jinyu, and others were there.
During the day, they weren't afraid of Han Shifei playing any dirty tricks, so many people rushed to help upon hearing that the supermarket was about to open.
Together, they worked fervently with one heart.
Unlike the Meitehao headquarters in the provincial capital, which sold clothes and seafood, Qin Chuan combined with the actual situation and excluded these two items.
The explanation for clothes was simple: they already had the Jinding Apparel flagship store, so selling clothes in the supermarket was redundant and unnecessary.
As for seafood, Qin Chuan considered that the consumption level of people in the small county town at that time had not yet reached the required standard, and the seafood business was very difficult to manage with high spoilage. After much thought, he did not arrange for it.
The work continued for a full day. By the time night fell, many goods were still not fully sorted.
However, everyone was tired after a day's work. Qin Chuan told the employees to go home and promised to reward them generously after the opening.
"Yao Dong, you and your team will be on duty here tonight!"
Qin Chuan said to Yao Dong.
"Don't worry, boss. As long as I'm here, I guarantee nothing will happen to the supermarket!"
Yao Dong replied.
Qin Chuan nodded, he completely trusted Yao Dong. He then said to his elder brother Qin Yang, "Be careful at the construction site too. I have a feeling Han Shifei will definitely use this opportunity to stir up some trouble for us!"
"I know!"
Qin Yang's expression was serious as he turned to leave. His duty was to protect the construction site, which was his home.
Just as Qin Chuan was arranging personnel to prevent any issues,
To the east of the county town, on Mang Mountain, Fenggu Garden!
At night, the entire farm was brightly lit. Beautiful lights illuminated the ancient buildings, highlighting the wealth of the owner.
In an elegant, antique-style room, incense wafted gently.
On a large huanghuali wood bed, a person lay diagonally, one hand propping up his head, the other petting a large calico cat, his expression lazy. He was the renowned Lord Han, Han Shifei.
Before Han Shifei stood two men.
Both were burly figures, nearly two meters tall and weighing over 120 kilograms, like small giants.
They were two of Han Shifei's famous generals, one called Black Bear and the other called Wild Ox, known for their immense strength and great fighting skills.
"Boss, this is all the commotion from Qin Chuan's side today!"
"I think we have to do something. Otherwise, that little brat is sending convoys to fetch sand from Shaanxi Province and preparing to open a supermarket. He's simply not taking us seriously!"
Steward Zhang Wenbo reported all of Qin Chuan's activities for the day and was now suggesting that Han Shifei strike back and not let this great opportunity pass.
