The Era of Hard Work

It was another Saturday, before dawn, people began to line up in front of Qiansheng Commercial Building, and the number of people was increasing rapidly. By six o'clock, hundreds of people had gathered in front of Gome's store facing the pedestrian street.

It is difficult for those who have not experienced it to imagine that in this era when workers are generally laid off, the general public can burst out with such great enthusiasm for an electrical appliance store that is about to open.

It has to be said that a big company has the arrogance of a big company, not like Lu Dong.

During the early publicity of Guangmei Electric, it was widely advertised that on the opening day of the Quannan Road flagship store, there will be a large number of ultra-low specials for sale.

As we all know, the enthusiasm of Chinese people when they face special offers is so great that it cannot be added.

These years, the opening of Guangmei Electric's first store in a certain city can be called a grand event.

In line with the idea that what you buy is what you earn, someone grabbed the opening pole position of Guangmei Electric at four o'clock in the morning.

By seven o'clock, the front of the Guangmei store was crowded with black heads, and even if there was someone to maintain order, the scene was still a bit chaotic. Thousands of people rushed to cut off Quannan Road before Guangmei Electric opened.

Quannan Road became a pot of porridge, but Guangmei Electric did its preparations ahead of time. Traffic police appeared early in the morning to clear the traffic at the west entrance of Quannan Road.

Correspondingly, the three stores of Lu's Catering Company opened early in the morning.

Not to mention the large number of coloring page advertisements and discount cards, Fu Zhaoxia brought out the mineral water that had been prepared earlier with a group of people.

Mineral water specially ordered from Pulis, with advertisements about Lu's Catering and three stores on the bottle, together with the coloring page of the advertisement, was distributed to many people who lined up.

Although it is a small profit, it can feel a sense of warmth to many people who come to line up before they have time to eat breakfast or drink water.

The three restaurants in the east have not yet opened, and the three restaurants of Lu's Catering are already very busy.

Fu Zhaoxia delivered a bottle of water to a man in his thirties, who took a look at it and quickly said, "Thank you, girl, your store is really nice."

"It should." Fu Zhaoxia replied with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone to get up early."

Bottles of mineral water were sent out, and there were good-natured laughter and countless voices discussing Burger King, Malatang and Lu's Hot Pot Restaurant.

Dozens of boxes of mineral water were distributed to everyone, and the three shops left a deep impression on these people.

Because of the drinking water provided by Fu Zhaoxia and others, as well as the impromptu ordering and delivery of food, the order of the crowded crowd was good, and there was no particularly restless situation.

Of course, this is also related to the presence of police officers at the scene to maintain order.

Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing carried convenience bags and delivered bottles of water to the police uncle who also worked hard.

Du Xiaobing looked back at the door of Guangmei Electric Appliances, and said, "Compared to others, we are really small."

Lu Dong said: "How early Guangmei started, our company has not even been established for a year."

"That's right." Du Xiaobing said with a smile: "If we develop for ten years, we may not be much worse than them."

He was full of pride: "Lu Dong, when we enter other cities next year, we will also hold a super opening lottery, and the special prize will also give out gold bars."

Lu Dong laughed: "Okay, as long as it develops, it's nothing to worry about."

There are more and more people gathering here, and even many passers-by, out of curiosity, also come to join in the fun.

The opening ceremony once caused a huge sensation in Quannan.

The popularity of Guangmei Electric has driven the three stores of Lu's Catering to be full.

More importantly, by the way, it provides an excellent publicity platform for the three stores.

There was a car coming from the south, Mr. Fan and his party got out of the car, and they all followed a man.

This man had a smile on his face, he was not too old, at most thirty years old, but everyone in Guangmei took him as the head.

"Not bad." Seeing the scene of queuing up, the man said, "Old Fan, you did a good job in the preliminary work."

Mr. Fan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Huang, Taidong is a province with a large population, and Quannan has a population of 8 million. Consumers have long been looking forward to competitors entering the electrical appliance market where Sanlian Home Appliances dominates."

Although the opening is booming, this President Huang practiced like an old monk without being surprised: "My requirements are not high, and Guangmei has at least one-half of the market share in Quannan."

Mr. Fan hastily responded.

As a veteran of Guangmei, he is very aware of Mr. Huang's style. When Mr. Huang thinks about something and arranges it, other people don't need to express their opinions, they just need to implement it.

Mr. Huang saw the people who made a fuss in the three shops, and couldn't help asking: "Where is this company? It's interesting."

Mr. Fan stepped forward and said, "It's a small partner of ours in Quannan, and it belongs to the local snake class."

Mr. Huang nodded slightly, but didn't ask any more questions. He didn't care about such trivial matters at all. It was enough for the people below to deal with them.

Lu Dong stood in the distance, and when Mr. Fan looked over, he nodded with a smile, as a greeting. He had no intention of going over. The other party will be very busy today, so he won't go over to join in the fun and cause trouble for others.

As for the leader of Guangmei Electric, Lu Dong had no intention of getting close to him. The difference between the two sides was too great, so there was no need to ask for trouble.

Du Xiaobing looked over there with interest, and asked, "Is that the founder and boss of Guangmei?"

Lu Dong said, "That's him, a legendary figure."

But Du Xiaobing said: "I heard that he came out to start a business when he was underage, Lu Dong, he looks a bit like you."

"I'm far worse than others." Lu Dong is still quite self-aware: "He left his hometown to start a business. We are in our hometown, and we have various relationships and care. The conditions are much better."

Du Xiaobing asked: "Did you never think about going out?"

Lu Dong smiled: "My hometown has so many advantages, why go out and suffer? I'm not a masochist."

Du Xiaobing laughed. The key to the company's success lies in Lu Dong. Lu Dong's success is not unrelated to a series of people behind him.

Lu Dong has never denied that a relatively level playing field is very important to get to this point.

According to some reports that Lu Dong had read, that President Huang was a character similar to the protagonist of Destiny.

Compared with others, his entrepreneurial experience is not worth mentioning for the time being.

Mr. Huang left his hometown to start a business at the age of 17. He is only about 30 this year, but he is already in charge of the leader of Guangmei Electric.

Life was full of ups and downs, and later she was imprisoned, and even Guangmei lost control for a while.

There have been many rumors, and even Lu Dong has seen many, such as this big man who offended.

As we all know, some rumors can only be thought about and cannot be spoken out.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Guangmei Electric Store finally opened its doors amidst people's expectations and cheers, and the mall instantly became a sea of ​​people.

In just ten minutes, the counters were already full of people, and the characters of promotion, discount, and profit sharing can be seen everywhere. Guangmei also cashed in its rich opening resources to people: the supply of large orders of 50 million yuan made the entire store dazzling, and 10 million The special machine attracted the first attention of consumers, and the 1 million promotional gifts formed a unique landscape both inside and outside the venue.

Thousands of people poured into Guangmei, but this is not the end, it is just the beginning, and the follow-up is still full of people.

As the nearest store to Guangmei, Lu's Catering is also very popular here. The staff who are temporarily hired to distribute the advertisement coloring pages are wearing dark red coats with advertisement words printed on them, and they are busy without touching the ground.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Dong went to look at the statistics of the store. The sales of Burger King alone were close to 10,000 yuan.

At the beginning, people who received free meal coupons from Guangmei came to eat and buy things.

Just like Guangmei's 1 yuan rice cooker, 5 yuan small tape recorder, 10 yuan DVD player, 100 yuan MP3 player and 666 yuan mobile phone, Lu's Catering meal coupons are distributed to almost everyone who buys in Guangmei. goods in the hands of customers.

On this day, the three stores may lose more than 100,000 yuan.

But the publicity effect has arrived, and there will be more gains in the future.

At 8:30, the first customer who got the general thousand-yuan card of the three stores appeared.

The customer didn't have breakfast, so he rushed over to eat immediately after the prize draw. Seeing that there were so many Mala Tang and Burger Emperor, he couldn't even find a seat, so he went to eat hot pot in the middle of the morning.

Even if it is not the meal time, the hot pot restaurant still shows the greatest enthusiasm to receive customers.

A thousand yuan card is still a huge sum of money in this day and age.

Of course, as one of Guangmei's lottery prizes, it only exists as a second prize.

The first prize is a flat-screen large color TV, and the special prize is a gold bar.

The publicity of Guangmei is too big. The citizens of Quannan have long known the news that Guangmei will open a store on Quancheng Road through newspapers and TV. As long as people enter the store, it is not difficult to find that there are almost all kinds of home appliances to buy. Price cuts, gifts, sweepstakes and other promotional activities.

There were too many people, and perhaps the enthusiasm of consumers in Quannan for electrical appliances exploded on this day.

At nine o'clock, Guangmei Electric had to restrict the entry of personnel, and under the coordination of relevant personnel, a long queue formed again at the door.

Fu Zhaoxia immediately brought people over to start a new round of advertising.

This time, not only the personnel from Lu's Catering Company were mobilized, dozens of people came out from Sanlian Commercial Building in the west, and at the request of a person wearing a blue vest and glasses, distributed their own price reduction promotional materials and collected Gome's price information at the same time. .

However, Sanlian is used to being the boss in Quannan Market, and certain habits cannot be changed for a while.

It is very obvious when the promotional materials are released.

The staff of Lu's Catering not only gave out mineral water, but also had a friendly attitude and a warm smile in the coloring page advertisement.

The employees of Sanlian hand out promotional materials, and they are all handy to others. It’s okay for people to catch them. If they don’t, some proud employees will give them a pair of big eyes.

There is no harm without comparison. When you are used to being the boss, it is difficult to lower your head again.

The leading middle-aged man with glasses didn't realize this either. Instead, his eyes swept over the people wearing Lu's catering costumes from time to time. When he saw that the people in Lu's catering not only posted water and information, but sometimes helped Guangmei people maintain order, he couldn't help but downcast.

These three restaurants have been open for a week, and they are just next to Sanlian. He has also eaten there, and knows that they are opened by people from Quannan.

Soon, the man with glasses found Fu Zhaoxia in the crowd, saw that she was the leader, and immediately went over, as if he wanted to have a good chat with Fu Zhaoxia.
