6: I'm starving.

Qian Ziyong was still a bit worried about the supermarket.

This is where Boss Li's second idea came into play.

"Manager Zhu, starting today, all products in the supermarket will be heavily discounted. As long as there's a slight profit, that's enough. Drop the prices as low as they can go!" Qian Ziyong said.

If it weren't for the system not allowing sales at a loss, requiring a profit margin, and also not allowing others to think he was intentionally losing money, he would have sold at cost.

He even wanted to sell at cost.

"Boss, it will be even harder for our supermarket to make a profit this way!" Zhu Daqiang said anxiously.

Qian Ziyong shook his head, revealing a mysterious smile: "I have my own plans. Work hard, learn well. I have high hopes for you."

Qian Ziyong was afraid he wouldn't execute it seriously, so he specifically added: "Don't make any changes; strictly follow my orders!"

Even Zhu Daqiang thought the supermarket would lose more money, so he was definitely going to lose!

This wave is stable!

Qian Ziyong gave himself a hundred likes in his heart.

Now he just needed to wait for the losses to complete. Three months later, he would return all the supermarket's goods, sell all the shelves and other items as scrap, give all employees an N+1 subsidy, and he would be able to get all the system's money into his own hands.

Stable!

...

Qian Ziyong stayed in the store for seven days. These seven days he was very busy, constantly watching the supermarket until it truly recruited four hundred people and all products were genuinely reduced to their lowest prices. Only then was he satisfied.

Especially when he saw that occasionally, customers would come in and feel uncomfortable being watched by countless pairs of eyes.

And when they saw how dilapidated the supermarket was, they immediately turned around and left.

He felt even more reassured!

With such low prices for supermarket goods, even if they bought a little, he wouldn't make any money.

Qian Ziyong wanted to continue monitoring.

However, funds didn't allow it.

He originally only had one hundred and thirty, bought one thirty-box meal from Boss Li, ate one himself, and was left with only seventy.

He used those seventy yuan for a full seven days!

Ten yuan a day in expenses, only steamed buns and instant noodles. These days, he felt like throwing up just looking at those two foods!

And even if he wanted to eat, he had no money left.

He had to go out and earn money, otherwise he might starve to death in the store.

As he left, he specifically instructed Zhu Daqiang to make sure he followed his arrangements, then hurried out.

...

After Qian Ziyong left, Zhu Daqiang, full of worry, continued to patrol the supermarket.

The boss wasn't worried at all and was full of confidence, but the supermarket showed no signs of improvement, which made him very anxious.

The supermarket employees, however, were all energetic and full of drive, a picture of thriving prosperity.

Now that their salaries had increased and they only worked six hours a day, how could they not be energetic?

Zhu Daqiang felt that he was the only one in the entire supermarket who was worried.

"Look closely, learn well. What did the boss want me to look at and learn?" Zhu Daqiang murmured softly.

Zhu Daqiang didn't know that these were just casual words from Qian Ziyong to fool him.

Zhu Daqiang came to the front door, where there were very few customers.

After all, it was just past ten o'clock, and usually not many people came to the supermarket at this time.

Just then, a group of elderly women walked by.

They were probably going to buy vegetables, and Zhu Daqiang didn't pay much attention.

Feihuang Supermarket also had vegetables, but in very small quantities.

After all, Feihuang Supermarket's business wasn't good, and fresh vegetables couldn't be sold overnight, so they naturally couldn't stock too much.

"This is the one, Feihuang Supermarket! This supermarket is huge, it has everything, and most importantly, the things are very cheap!" An elderly woman pulled her companions, pointing to the supermarket and strongly recommending it.

"Yes, yes! Everything in our supermarket is cheap!" Zhu Daqiang quickly invited them in.

He recognized this elderly woman; she had bought some things at the supermarket yesterday, and he didn't expect her to come again today, bringing so many people.

Zhu Daqiang became even more enthusiastic towards the elderly woman.

Under Zhu Daqiang's guidance, the elderly women entered the supermarket.

As soon as they entered, they saw many employees.

Young people might feel uncomfortable being watched, but the elderly women felt important!

Several employees came up to greet them.

There were too many employees in the supermarket, and they had nothing to do. Now that they saw customers, they all actively came forward to serve.

Another elderly woman said: "I don't know if the things are cheap, but the service in this supermarket is really good; they even help us carry things."

Everyone entered the supermarket and saw that the prices of the goods inside were truly low, outrageously low.

One elderly woman pointed to a bottle of mineral water that originally sold for two yuan and said: "This water only sells for one yuan and two cents?"

Zhu Daqiang nodded: "This is arranged by our boss. He said that all products are sold at the lowest price!"

Another elderly woman asked curiously: "What about a case of water?"

"A case of water is 24 bottles, 1.2 yuan a bottle, so 24 bottles are 28.8 yuan." Zhu Daqiang said quickly.

Being a manager in a supermarket, mental arithmetic was a basic skill.

"Ah, it sells for 31 yuan a case outside, but here it's only 28.8, and a bottle is only 1.2, which is also a wholesale price. This is a wholesale supermarket!" The elderly woman said happily.

A light bulb went off in Zhu Daqiang's mind.

He was overjoyed!

Wholesale supermarket!

Yes!

How did he not think of that!

The boss's intention was for their supermarket to develop in the direction of a wholesale supermarket!

"Yes, yes! We are a wholesale supermarket; all prices are wholesale prices!" Zhu Daqiang promised.

The elderly women walked further inside, seeing that this was cheap and that was cheap, they couldn't help but grab, grab, grab.

Fortunately, the employees were right beside them, carrying things for them, otherwise they might not have been able to carry it all.

Employees went to get shopping carts for them.

Each of the elderly women bought some rice, flour, oil, and other staples.

As they left, the elderly women were very reluctant, as if buying less meant losing money.

They were afraid the supermarket would close down the next day and they wouldn't be able to buy anymore!

They even felt that the things they had bought in other supermarkets before were huge losses!

There was a difference of several yuan here!

One item differed by a few yuan, a dozen items would be dozens of yuan, accumulating over time, that would be a loss of hundreds of millions!

Several elderly women left, carrying their full bags of items.

After the elderly women left, people continuously came in. When Zhu Daqiang had the employees introduce the supermarket, he had them uniformly introduce it as a wholesale supermarket.

That day, the supermarket's business was much better than before, and most customers who came here spent over a hundred yuan.

At the supermarket entrance, people carrying large and small bags, as if moving things out for free, attracted the attention of passersby.

Upon asking, they found out that this was a wholesale supermarket, and they heard that things were very cheap and that it had everything!

For a while, quite a few passersby were attracted and walked into the supermarket.

Just like that, in a few days, Feihuang Supermarket became popular!

Especially older people who had already retired; they would even take several bus rides just to come here to buy things.

For them, since they could swipe their cards on the bus and it cost no money, time was even less valuable. They had plenty of time every day anyway since they were retired!

Young people also liked to buy things at Feihuang Supermarket.

This supermarket was over five thousand square meters, its products were very complete, and most importantly, the prices were low.

Just one trip to Feihuang Supermarket could stock them up on a week's worth of daily necessities and snacks.
