22: I also installed 50 million

Nighttime, inside the Yongnian Supermarket's owner's office.

Yamazumi Arimatsu was extremely nervous.

The supermarket's daily turnover was about to be revealed.

Manager Sun was also very nervous; he had a bad feeling that today's turnover might not look good.

The customer traffic in the supermarket today was significantly worse than yesterday.

He opened his computer to check today's turnover.

"Boss, our turnover today has dropped by 30%!" Manager Sun reported.

"What? Another 30% drop!" Yamazumi Arimatsu roared in anger.

Previously, Feihuang Supermarket had caused their supermarket's turnover to drop by 30%, but last month Feihuang Supermarket was under renovation and not open for business.

Their Yongnian Supermarket's turnover had returned to normal, even hitting a new high.

Now, on Feihuang Supermarket's first day of opening, their Yongnian Supermarket's turnover had directly plummeted!

Indeed, Feihuang Supermarket was their formidable enemy!

Yamazumi Arimatsu paced back and forth in the room.

"I must think of a way; this absolutely cannot continue!" Yamazumi Arimatsu's expression was grave.

To deal with the opponent, he must understand their intelligence!

"Feihuang Supermarket opened today, did you go and see it? Is it true that they spent fifty million on renovations?" Yamazumi Arimatsu asked.

Manager Sun said, "I went. I took a professional team to see it, and they said Feihuang Supermarket really spent fifty million on renovations!"

"The renovation is extremely luxurious, all the refrigerators and shelves are brand new, and the floor is polished until it shines!"

"Even though I don't know much about renovations, I can tell that Feihuang Supermarket definitely spent a huge amount on their renovation!"

"They really spent fifty million?" Yamazumi Arimatsu frowned.

Yamazumi Arimatsu asked again, "Did you survey the customers? What did they say?"

Manager Sun nodded, "I did. I asked over a dozen customers who entered Feihuang Supermarket, and they said Feihuang's environment is very good, and the staff are very enthusiastic!"

"They said..." Manager Sun hesitated for a moment.

"What did they say?" Yamazumi Arimatsu asked.

Manager Sun gritted his teeth and said, "They said Feihuang Supermarket is better than our Yongnian Supermarket and makes people feel more comfortable."

"I guess, if not for... if not for..." Manager Sun stammered again.

He didn't dare to speak, worried that Yamazumi Arimatsu would get angry.

"Speak directly! The turnover has already dropped by 30%, what else could I not accept!?" Yamazumi Arimatsu said angrily.

Manager Sun nodded, "If not for us being a commercial complex, with various other shops above the supermarket, our business might slowly be devoured by Feihuang Supermarket until we run out of steam!"

Yamazumi Arimatsu's expression became even more solemn.

He trusted Manager Sun's judgment.

Manager Sun had been in the supermarket industry for over twenty years.

Furthermore, if what Manager Sun said was true, that Feihuang Supermarket had a better environment and better service than their Yongnian Supermarket, and the product prices were the same...

Even if he were a customer, he would definitely prefer to go to Feihuang Supermarket!

Compared to Feihuang Supermarket, their Yongnian Supermarket's only advantage might be the shops upstairs.

Customers coming to their Yongnian Supermarket, besides shopping in the supermarket, could also go upstairs to eat and shop.

The mall and Yongnian Supermarket were complementary; if Yongnian Supermarket's business was poor and didn't bring enough foot traffic, then the mall's business would also decline.

He worried about Yongnian Supermarket, not just for the supermarket itself, but most of all for the foot traffic.

Because the shops above Yongnian Supermarket also belonged to them.

Yamazumi Arimatsu took a deep breath: "We absolutely cannot let Feihuang Supermarket steal our customers. Even if it means losing money, we must win back our customers."

"Should our supermarket start lowering prices?" Manager Sun asked.

Yamazumi Arimatsu shook his head, "Lowering prices is easy, but raising them back up is difficult!"

"We cannot lower prices!"

Yamazumi Arimatsu gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "We will also match Feihuang Supermarket and spend fifty million on renovations!"

"This way, Feihuang Supermarket will have no advantage compared to us!"

"I want Feihuang Supermarket to go out of business!"

Manager Sun trembled all over, not expecting Yamazumi Arimatsu to be so bold as to also spend fifty million on renovations.

This way, what Feihuang Supermarket had, their Yongnian Supermarket would also have.

And their Yongnian Supermarket had a mall upstairs where customers could eat, drink, and have fun, while Feihuang Supermarket did not!

"I will make the arrangements immediately, find the best decoration company, and ensure the renovation is completed as quickly as possible!" Manager Sun bowed.

Yamazumi Arimatsu nodded, reminding him, "While renovating, do not affect the supermarket's business."

The supermarket was very large, so it could be renovated in sections, which would not have too much impact on the supermarket's business.

"Yes!" Manager Sun bowed again.

...

The renovation of Yongnian Supermarket was very fast; working day and night, it took only twenty days to complete everything.

Looking at the newly renovated Yongnian Supermarket, Yamazumi Arimatsu's face broke into a smile.

"How is today's turnover?" Yamazumi Arimatsu asked.

"Boss, your decision was absolutely correct." Manager Sun praised, "Ever since we spent a large sum on renovations, Yongnian Supermarket has been completely transformed!"

"Now customers are more willing to come to our Yongnian Supermarket, and the turnover has recovered, only down by 10% from its peak!"

"I believe it won't be long before all customers come to our Yongnian Supermarket, and Feihuang Supermarket will surely go out of business!"

Yamazumi Arimatsu burst into laughter.

Although his heart ached for his fifty million, he was still very happy to be able to defeat Feihuang Supermarket, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Hmph... So what if Qian Ziyong is cunning?"

"He's still no match for me!"

"I only made a slight move, and Feihuang Supermarket had no power to resist!"

"I'd like to see what Feihuang Supermarket will use to fight me!"

"Today we're going to KTV, I'm going to take on ten!"

The thought of Qian Ziyong, that kid, being anxious like an ant on a hot pan at Feihuang Supermarket because of losing money, made Yamazumi Arimatsu very happy.

...

On the other side, Qian Ziyong was not anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

On the contrary, after learning that Feihuang Supermarket's business was getting worse and had started to lose money, he was so excited he couldn't sleep all night.

Fifty million!

In just over a month, fifty million would be in his hands!

Should he buy a mansion?

Or a luxury car?

Qian Ziyong had already begun to fantasize.

Good news lifts one's spirits. The thought of becoming a fifty-millionaire soon made Qian Ziyong walk with even more vigor.

He strutted with an arrogant gait, inspecting the supermarket.

His smile was as radiant as could be.

He greeted everyone with a smiling face, beaming with joy.

"Boss." Many employees greeted Qian Ziyong.

Qian Ziyong nodded, "Hello! Hello!"

"You're doing great!"

"I'll raise your salaries in the future!"

"You're all excellent, truly wonderful!"

Qian Ziyong sincerely praised his employees.
