Chapter 479: Pressing Wu Ji to Fight
As soon as Jufulai's door opened, many customers rushed in.
There are more people than yesterday.
There was a long line of people in front of the stall repairing pots and pans.
The containers that were sold out yesterday were filled with goods overnight. Many shop owners or clerks heard the news and came to look at the goods while smacking their lips. Jufulai's ability to replenish goods really surprised them.
When Jufulai Supermarket was about to open in Pingchuan County, many department store owners were as pessimistic as Gu Youtian.
The popularity of the store on the first day of opening slapped them in the face, so they rushed to watch as soon as Jufulai opened the next day.
Watch and admire.
I didn't expect a department store to be run like this, with a complete assortment of goods, uniform clothing and smiling shop assistants, free letter writing and pot and pan repair services...
Each item opened their eyes and made them ask themselves, if it were not a competitor, they would also want to spend their money on Jufulai.
"Grandma, many people went to Wu Ji."
Nie Xiaofeng, who was in charge of security, kept Tong Huaqiong's instructions in mind and paid close attention to Wu Ji's situation. He found that many people had entered Wu Ji's shop. After making some inquiries, he reported to Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong said: "It is the customers' freedom to choose whoever they want. Wu Ji's business will not affect ours."
Nie Xiaofeng thinks that what Tong Huaqiong said is right, but his grandmother was wrong. Jufulai does not take Wu Ji seriously, but Wu Ji regards Jufulai as a competitor.
He knew that Wu Ji and Jufulai's products were the same, but Wu Ji's prices were cheaper than Jufulai's.
Nie Xiaofeng told Tong Huaqiong the information he had obtained from Wu Ji.
Tong Huaqiong pondered for a while.
It would be fine if Wu Ji just did business honestly, but if it dared to target Jufulai, it would be courting death.
But she doesn't plan to start a price war.
Considering the scale of Wu Ji, Jufulai would definitely win in a price war, but this would also give customers the impression that Jufulai only sells cheap goods.
In the end, both sides will suffer losses, and price wars only bring temporary customer patronage. Long-term development requires reliable, high-quality and high-standard services.
This is why Jufulai Supermarket’s grand opening promotion only lasts for three days.
Tong Huaqiong raised her head and looked outside. The weather was very hot today and there were a lot of people. If it weren't for Jufulai's service of repairing pots and pans, half of them would have gone home.
She chose these days to open the business but she didn't expect that the weather would enter midsummer early.
Fortunately, the black-hearted Gu Jingzhe wrote a letter to Tong Huaqiong telling her that his senior brother was good at observing the astronomical phenomena. His senior brother said that the temperature had soared in the past few days and reminded her to take some anti-heat measures when opening the supermarket.
Tong Huaqiong thought that she definitely couldn't let anyone get heatstroke in her Jufulai, so she had already made a plan.
This plan was originally intended to provide customers with a comfortable shopping experience at Jufulai, but unexpectedly it could also be used as a means to snatch customers from Wu Ji.
Tong Huaqiong said to Su Chengmin and Nie Xiaofeng, "Go and ask the staff to put the ice we stored in advance in the corner of the supermarket, and then open all the doors and windows."
Gu Taohua said, "I have asked someone to prepare the mung bean soup. Bring it up here."
Doesn’t Wu Ji use boiled water to attract customers?
She used mung bean soup.
Tong Huaqiong looked at Gu Taohua approvingly.
Su Chengmin and Nie Xiaofeng responded and went to arrange ice cubes and mung bean soup.
Gu Taohua said, "The price war between Wu Ji and us must have been the idea of that idiot Gu Ruinian. Let him fight. He won't die."
These days, Gu Ruinian says some inexplicable things to Gu Taohua whenever he meets her in the village.
Gu Taohua didn't know why Gu Ruinian kept staring at her.
Shouldn't he be staring at Gu Jingzhe?
Staring at what she was doing.
Since he regards himself as a potential enemy, let's show him some enemy colors.
The customer flow at Wu Ji did not decrease due to the opening of Jufulai.
Judging from this customer flow, today's turnover is considerable.
Gu Youtian calculated that even if the price was lowered, he would still make a profit, just less than the previous price. However, Gu Ruinian was right, the profit generated by small profits but quick turnover would make up for the loss in profit due to low prices.
Gu Youtian changed from his decadent state yesterday and became happy.
"Jufulai put ice in it, so it's not hot at all when we go shopping."
“And there’s free mung bean soup.”
At this time, someone outside shouted, and customers rushed towards Ju Fu Lai.
There are so many shops in Pingchuan County, but no one displays ice so generously in hot weather.
Even if jewelry shops and silk shops had ice rooms, they were only used to receive the wives and daughters of wealthy families, and ordinary customers were not allowed to enter.
I heard that Widow Tong, the owner of Jufulai Supermarket, was worried that everyone would get heatstroke, so she specially made basins of ice and placed them in the shop. Who wouldn't want to check it out?
Similarly, Wu Ji’s customers are still customers. When they hear that Jufulai has ice and free mung bean soup, they naturally want to go to Jufulai.
Wu Ji’s food is cheap, but it’s too hot today, so I’d better go to Jufulai to cool down and have a bowl of mung bean soup.
As a result, most of Wu Ji's customers left.
Gu Youtian and Gu Ruinian tried to stop them one by one, but they still couldn't resist the attraction of ice cubes and mung bean soup at Jufulai.
"You are so mean, Tong Da Jiao. She just wants to sabotage our Wu Ji shop because it is doing good business." Gu Youtian's eyes were gloomy.
Gu Ruinian has a different opinion.
Such means are definitely not something Tong Dajiao would do.
It must have been the idea of his cheap cousin Gu Taohua.
The purpose was not to attack Wu Ji, but to attack him.
"Why are all the people gone?"
Wu Ren was in a good mood when he saw the steady stream of customers. Thinking that he hadn't had breakfast yet, he happily went to the backyard to have breakfast.
While having breakfast, I was still thinking that if the store was so crowded with customers every day, there would be no need to worry about profits.
When he had a stable customer base that only recognized Wu Ji, he would be the first to kick Gu Youtian out.
As for Gu Youtian’s second son Gu Ruinian, it’s very simple. He can just recruit a son-in-law and support Gu Ruinian’s studies, but he’s afraid that he won’t be tempted.
After happily finishing his breakfast, Wu Ren strolled into the shop from the backyard and found the shop empty, just like yesterday. He didn't understand what was going on and thought that Gu Youtian took advantage of his absence to raise the price.
"Youtian, I know you don't agree with the price reduction, but you saw the big guys coming in today because of the price reduction. If you raise the price now, won't customers say that we have no integrity? Who will come to our shop to buy things in the future?" Wu Ren frowned and scolded Gu Youtian without asking any questions.
Gu Youtian was shaking with anger.
How did this idiot become the head of the village? He doesn't understand the situation at all and yet he's talking nonsense here. Even he started to scold him.
"Uncle Wu, you misunderstood my father. It wasn't my father who raised the price, but Jufulai was really cunning. They put ice and free green bean soup in the store and fooled all the customers away."
Gu Ruinian was afraid that Gu Youtian and Wu Ren would get into a fight and the situation would become unmanageable, so he hurried over to explain to Wu Ren.
Wu Ren frowned after hearing this.
Tong Pandi’s widowed aunt is really vicious. Why did she beat Wu Ji?
