17: Make him look good

Qian Ziyong was already terrified of wholesale supermarkets.

He absolutely could not do wholesale again.

The scene of countless customers rushing into the store to snap up goods was still fresh in his memory.

It made him so scared that he barely dared to leave the owner's office, just fearing to see that distressing sight.

So, he absolutely could not lower prices again!

"Alright, it's decided!" Qian Ziyong decisively made up his mind, "Liu Gaoda, you are in charge of recruitment. Start hiring people immediately!"

"Manager Zhu, you are responsible for finding a renovation company. Begin renovations right away!"

"Manager Li, you are responsible for pricing the supermarket goods!"

"If the supermarket encounters any issues, you all discuss and resolve them yourselves!"

Qian Ziyong told everyone to hurry and get busy.

He hid alone in the room, opened his phone, and continued to "rack his brains."

...

Inside the Yongnian Supermarket owner's office.

Yongnian Supermarket's owner, Yamazumi Arimatsu, was currently in a rage.

"Why has the supermarket's turnover decreased by a full thirty percent in these past two months?"

Sitting opposite Yamazumi Arimatsu was a middle-aged man, "Manager Qiu": "Boss, it's because a new wholesale supermarket, Feihuang Supermarket, recently opened not far from our supermarket!"

"Feihuang Supermarket has low prices and excellent service, and it has a very significant impact in Han City."

"Many customers travel long distances to Feihuang Supermarket, which is the direct reason for the significant decline in our Yongnian Supermarket's turnover."

"Feihuang Supermarket?" Yamazumi Arimatsu nodded.

He had heard of Feihuang Supermarket during this period; it was indeed very popular.

If Feihuang Supermarket snatched their Yongnian Supermarket's business, then it was not surprising.

A decrease of a full thirty percent in turnover meant their profits directly dropped by fifty percent.

Feihuang Supermarket was their great enemy!

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated!" Yamazumi Arimatsu narrowed his eyes, "Manager Sun, go and thoroughly investigate Feihuang Supermarket for me. I want all of its information!"

"Yes!" Manager Sun bowed deeply and quickly left.

Yamazumi Arimatsu liked people who were efficient, so he had to hurry.

In just the time it takes for a cup of tea, Manager Sun returned.

"Manager Sun, why haven't you left yet?" Yamazumi Arimatsu was not very pleased.

Manager Sun said with great joy, "Boss, Feihuang Supermarket has closed down!"

"Closed down?" Yamazumi Arimatsu stood up in disbelief!

Manager Sun nodded and said, "I learned that Feihuang Supermarket earned twenty million a month, with extremely strong profitability!"

"However, due to a rent increase, the owner of Feihuang Supermarket is a young man, and he closed the supermarket without a second thought."

"Are you sure?" Yamazumi Arimatsu's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Yamazumi, I am sure! There will be no mistake!" Manager Sun bowed and nodded.

"Haha... Heaven is truly helping me!" Yamazumi Arimatsu burst into laughter.

Young is good; young people tend to be impulsive.

He liked such an owner, who even closed a profitable business directly.

"Manager Sun, go and book a place for me now. Tonight I want to sing K, and also, call ten people to accompany me. I want to hit ten tonight!" Yamazumi Arimatsu said happily.

"Yes! I'll go arrange it now!" Manager Sun nodded and bowed.

Manager Sun left.

However, only an hour later, Manager Sun rushed back again.

"What?" Yamazumi Arimatsu frowned, "It's not evening yet, what else do you need?"

Now was not the time for karaoke; Manager Sun was too inconsiderate.

Manager Sun said urgently, "This is bad, although Feihuang Supermarket has closed down, its owner, Qian Ziyong, has not given up."

"He is determined to become the largest supermarket in Han City, and he chose the location for the new supermarket directly opposite ours!"

"What?" Yamazumi Arimatsu stood up, "He wants to open a new supermarket, and open it directly opposite us?"

"How dare he?"

"That's indeed the case. The people from Feihuang Supermarket did not keep this a secret. All the employees of Feihuang Supermarket know about this, so there's absolutely no mistake!" Manager Sun stated very confidently.

"How dare he!" Yamazumi Arimatsu was furious.

The owner of Feihuang Supermarket was not putting their Yongnian Supermarket in his eyes!

He had to teach that young man a lesson!

However... directly challenging him like this, even if he won, it wouldn't benefit him!

It would be best if Feihuang Supermarket rolled as far away as possible and didn't open here.

"No, although we are not afraid of Feihuang Supermarket, if Feihuang Supermarket opens here, it will cause us some trouble!" Yamazumi Arimatsu paced back and forth.

Manager Sun didn't know what to do and remained silent.

"He's a young man; young people are easy to talk to!" Yamazumi Arimatsu's eyes lit up and he said, "Prepare immediately now; we're going to visit the owner of Feihuang Supermarket!"

"Yes!" Manager Sun bowed.

...

Inside Feihuang Supermarket, employees were organizing the supermarket goods. They had to move all the shelves and everything to the new supermarket.

The new landlord had already prepared a warehouse for them.

After renovation, everything could be directly put on shelves for sale, and the new supermarket had to be opened in the shortest possible time.

All employees were full of energy.

Even though the old supermarket closed, their salaries were still paid.

Not only that, but the boss also gave each of them a thousand yuan raise.

Even the cleaning lady earned six thousand a month.

Yamazumi Arimatsu arrived at the supermarket and felt a lot of pressure seeing the employees working with such enthusiasm.

"It seems the owner of Feihuang Supermarket has some capability; at least the supermarket employees are in good spirits," Yamazumi Arimatsu whispered.

Manager Sun nodded vigorously.

"Who are you?" Zhu Daqiang stepped forward and offered a cigarette.

Yamazumi Arimatsu bowed and said, "I am the owner of Yongnian Supermarket, and I have specially come to visit Qian. This is a small gift."

Manager Sun held a gift in his hand, which was two good packs of cigarettes.

"The owner of Yongnian Supermarket?" Zhu Daqiang frowned, then ran towards the owner's office, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask our boss."

Zhu Daqiang knocked on Qian Ziyong's door: "Boss, the owner of Yongnian Supermarket is visiting."

Qian Ziyong was playing a game inside and shouted, "Wait a moment, twenty minutes will be fine!"

Twenty minutes later, Qian Ziyong came out of the room.

Zhu Daqiang handed over the cigarettes: "This is a gift from the Yongnian boss, two good packs of cigarettes."

Qian Ziyong didn't pay much attention. He didn't smoke and didn't know the price, so he casually asked, "How much are these cigarettes?"

As the supermarket manager, Zhu Daqiang naturally knew cigarette prices like the back of his hand: "Our purchase price for these cigarettes is nine hundred eighty per pack, and we sell them for one thousand per pack!"

"Nine hundred eighty?" Qian Ziyong was overjoyed.

The system did not prevent him from accepting gifts.

That meant if he sold these cigarettes, he would earn a pure nine hundred eighty!

This was his own money!

What a good person!

Qian Ziyong felt great goodwill towards Yamazumi Arimatsu, whom he hadn't even met yet.

Moreover, whether the supermarket could lose a lot of money in the future depended on Yongnian Supermarket.

"Please, come in quickly!" Qian Ziyong personally poured tea.

"No, I'll go invite him myself!" Qian Ziyong pushed open the door and rushed out hurriedly.

Those who treated him to meals, gave him gifts, and helped him lose money were all good people!

In Qian Ziyong's eyes, Yamazumi Arimatsu was a very, very good person!
