Hello, 1983

The twentieth day of the first lunar month, February 25th, Saturday.

Longteng Commercial Building opened on this day.

In Wangfujing Commercial Street, pedestrians can see two huge unknown objects floating in mid-air.

The height is only tens of meters, just above the roof, winding and bending, the shape is exactly a dragon.

This is a new thing, and people can't help but gather in the direction of the dragon.

People pointed and poked as they walked, some said kites were flying, some said UFOs.

Because in recent years, a magazine has been particularly popular, called "UFO Exploration", specializing in ufo and so on.

In many universities, there are even special ufo societies.

There were a few old ladies with poor eyes, who almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed, muttering in their mouths:

"Lord Dragon has appeared!"

Fortunately, there is a young man who understands next to him: "Don't kneel first, it is probably a balloon, made into a dragon shape."

But the young man also wondered: how can the balloon float in the air, no, we have to look at it.

As for the old ladies, let's take a look. For every descendant of Yan and Huang, they think they are descendants of the dragon.

People slowly began to gather in the past. The closer the distance, the clearer they could see. It was indeed two golden dragons, blown by the wind, flying back and forth in the air.

It's just that there are two ropes tied under each dragon, otherwise, they would have broken away long ago.

Watching the crowd gathered more and more, Hou San was completely convinced: "Boss, this advertisement is so effective!"

This idea was naturally conceived by Liu Qingshan, the opening of the business or something, or the most eye-catching balloon.

Longteng Building, of course, has dragons. It took a lot of effort to make these two inflatable dragon-shaped balloons.

However, Liu Qingshan was not complacent. Looking at the crowd of people approaching here, he ordered the security of the commercial building:

"Be prepared and limit the flow when necessary!"

This is not a joke. If people are too crowded and crowded and collapsed, it will be troublesome.

Originally, Liu Qingshan was planning to hold a grand opening lottery event.

If you reach a certain amount in shopping malls, you can enter the lottery.

However, looking at the current turbulent flow of people, it is better not to carry out this activity for the time being.

In recent years, there has been a trend of lottery draws in the society, and most of them are two yuan per lottery tickets.

Ordinary people are in the lottery scene and are infected by the atmosphere of the scene. They will be unable to control and draw a few more tickets.

Fortunately, in the general lottery, there are consolation prizes, and in the end, they basically get a box of towels, soap, etc. to take home.

Looking at the time, it was almost nine in the morning, just in front of the Longteng Commercial Building, two firecrackers were set off, and there was no ribbon cutting.

There were not many guests who came to congratulate, and Liu Qingshan did not officially inform, but some who knew the news came to cheer.

The singers under the big tree also came to join in the fun, and said they would sing at the entrance of the mall.

In the end, they were all driven back by Liu Qingshan. These are all unstable factors.

Xiao Guo, the developer of the commercial building, led a few people to bring flower baskets, and some suppliers also came to the scene.

After the firecrackers were set off, Liu Qingshan and Hou San led the group and went in for a circle.

And the gathered crowd finally understood the situation. It turned out that the mall was open, so they had to go in and look around.

In the past two years, there has been a frenzy of panic buying, and everyone has not saved any money in their hands, but instead saved things.

So overall, it's a seller's market.

Arriving at the door, looking at the two revolving doors, people immediately felt the difference: this grade seems to be quite high.

"Why are you entering the door?" A group of old men and women studied outside the door for a long time, but they didn't dare to enter.

The people behind quit: "Can you get in, don't get in the way?"

Finally, two old ladies plucked up the courage to sneak into the door, then turned around, and were turned out again.

The old lady was blinded: "Can't you get in?"

The security guard at the gate even explained and demonstrated, and everyone went in.

There are also some that I think are fresh and fun, and they even go around the door twice.

After entering the mall, she was still confused, and an old lady muttered, "Why doesn't this even have a counter?"

"Can't you just take it casually?" Another old lady couldn't understand it.

Everyone is used to the state-run store and the cold face of the salesperson. They suddenly entered the optional shopping mall, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, the commercial building had a plan, and the shopping guide explained it to the customer with a smile.

Young people are quick to accept. Some people have already gone to buy their favorite products. A young man bought a set of sportswear and put them on directly. He shouted with excitement:

"My friend bought it in Yangcheng. It's exactly the same as this one. It's still more than 60 yuan. It's only 50 yuan here!"

The shopping guide smiled and helped him: "Comrade, we still have sneakers over there, and they are all the latest styles. If you choose a pair to match this sportswear, you will definitely look more handsome!"

After hearing this, the young man went to the sports shoes area next to him, and finally bought not only a pair of sports shoes, but also a baseball cap, completely new from head to toe.

However, those who are older are mostly cautious, and they are looking at more and buying less.

As a result, when I wandered to the second floor, I saw the large color TV on the shelf, and finally no longer calm, and hurried home to withdraw the money.

In the past two years, the family has a little spare money, and they have replaced the original black and white TV with color TV, so that the supply of color TV is in short supply.

And the price is really not low. A color TV often costs about 3,000 yuan, which is definitely a big deal for ordinary families.

Turning around, the customers were pleasantly surprised to find that there are special ones selling Hong Kong Island products.

This has made young people happy. These days, Hong Kong Island represents fashion and fashion.

Therefore, this special area also has the most customers. Basically, people are crowded with each other. Those elderly people are dizzy when they look at it, and they dare not squeeze in.

This weak body can't be squeezed out, okay?

In the special area next to it, there are a little less people. When you go in and look around, all the products sold are imported from the Soviet Union and some Eastern European countries.

Now people's general concept is: foreign products are definitely stronger than domestic products, so there are many people who buy them.

The last welcome item was actually a nesting doll. This thing is not expensive, and it is quite fun. The children at home will definitely like it.

Many old ladies were cruel, took out their handkerchiefs, took out the banknotes inside, and bought a set for their grandchildren.

"Wow, amazing, even cars are sold here!" Someone shouted, attracting the attention of the people around.

Where is it, where is the car?

Cars are now high-end goods, can't afford it, have you ever been to the head office of Eye Addiction?

However, in the shopping mall, of course, there are no real cars on display, just a few cardboard models with photos of cars on them, marked with models and prices.

The main ones are Polonaise and Lada Volga, all of which were brought back by Longteng International Trading Company.

"Where is the real car?" Someone actually asked the shopping guide. This was a man in his early thirties, wearing a suit and looking very stylish.

The shopping guides are all trained, so they always smile: "Comrade, the samples of these cars in our mall are stored in the garage in the backyard of the mall."

"If you are interested in buying it, we will immediately contact the port in Jinmen for delivery, and within two days, we will ensure that you can drive your favorite car."

In the past two years, some people who got rich first have gradually started to focus on cars.

Because everyone also realizes that if you do business in a small car, everyone will look at you highly.

Those who do big business buy good cars, such as Dachao and the like.

Those who don't have such a big capital, set their sights on Polonaise and the like.

This man in a suit had already seen the price indicated on the picture. It was two or three thousand yuan cheaper than the market price. He couldn't help but be moved and asked:

"Can you show me the prototype car?"

The shopping guide quickly called a security guard and led the man in the suit to the backyard. There were more than a dozen customers who also followed to join in the fun.

There is also a safety exit at the back of the commercial building. In the yard, the garage doors are all open, and there are all brand-new cars inside, making everyone dazzled.

The allure of cars for men has always been very great, especially those successful people who got rich first.

On the spot, someone proposed to try to stance.

The backyard is relatively spacious, and driving is no problem, but for the sake of safety, there are coaches sitting on the co-pilot. They are all auto soldiers from the army, and they are very experienced.

The man in the suit drove around in a Polonaise, and after getting out of the car, he directly paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan.

The people watching the lively next to them all stared at it, and there were two who paid for it.

Even the library manager sighed in his heart: Now there are more and more rich people.

In the shopping mall, it became more and more lively, and finally the door had to limit the flow.

Fortunately, customers at this time are used to waiting in line.

Gradually, customers found the elevator going down, with a sign that said "Supermarket Entrance".

Many people began to be confused again: what is the supermarket?

If you don't see it, you will know, so someone took the elevator down, and then was completely shocked: it turns out that there is such a huge underground world!

Many people rushed into the supermarket as if they had found a treasure.

I was still dizzy at first, I didn't know how to buy it, and I didn't dare to do it when I saw the dazzling array of products on the shelves.

At this time, shopping guides and stockists begin to play their roles and explain to customers.

There are also many middle-aged aunts who remind customers from time to time: do not open the packaging bag outside the product, you can carry a shopping basket or push a shopping cart.

cart?

Everyone immediately became interested, even the old ladies pushed a small shopping cart and strolled in the supermarket.

With this thing propped up, walking is much more stable.

There are really children with children, put the little ones in the shopping cart, and the children are so happy that they laugh and almost treat this place as an amusement park.

The old ladies finally found their favorite as they unknowingly slipped into the vegetable section.

Good guy, all kinds of fresh vegetables, look that's a rarity.

Look at or ask the price, the old ladies are even more excited: it is cheaper than the price of vegetables in the state market!

These elderly people are usually the main force of food shopping at home, and they know the price of vegetables best in each month.

Now is the time when the green and yellow are not connected. There are celery, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes and other fresh vegetables here. The most important thing is that the price is not expensive.

So what are you waiting for, grab it now!

Looking at an old lady with little feet, holding more than ten catties of celery in her arms, the sales clerk in charge of weighing has to persuade:

"Aunt, if you can't eat it, it's rotten at home. You can buy it whenever you want, and it's still fresh."

The old lady is generally stubborn, shaking her head vigorously: "It's all gone, you definitely won't have to sell it tomorrow."

The sales clerk didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Our vegetables are all shipped from the vegetable base. There are more than ten carts every day, so you can rest assured."

The vegetables in the supermarket naturally come from Bishui County and surrounding counties.

There has been developed into a greenhouse vegetable base, and Longteng Commercial Building has a special fleet to be responsible for transportation.

Under the persuasion of the salesperson, the old lady finally bought two catties of celery with suspicion, and then began to choose other vegetables.

I feel this way when I go to the supermarket. Before I know it, I will buy more and more things. When I finally settle the account, I am shocked.

Some people also asked: "Where do I pay?"

The supermarket checkout counters are too busy, and there are long queues at each checkout counter.

Those cashiers have been professionally trained to scan the code to collect money and change, which is already very fast, but there are too many customers.

Looking at the goods on the shelves, they were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they quickly began to restock.

After a full day, it closed at 8 o'clock in the evening. After a busy day, the shopping mall was quiet.

All the employees felt fatigued, and they were all tired.

"Comrades have worked hard. Today, everyone will be subsidized with a bonus of ten yuan, which will be paid together with the salary. Well, everyone go home and rest well, and continue to fight tomorrow!"

Hou San's words made the employees completely excited, their waists and backs were no longer sore, and they felt more energetic when they went home.

Most of the employees went home to rest, but Hou San still led the people in the accounting room to clean up today's accounts.

There is a lot of change, so I asked a lot of veterans to help. Everyone counted until ten o’clock in the middle of the night, and finally calculated today’s turnover:

On the first day of opening, Longteng Commercial Building achieved sales of more than 5.2 million.

More than five million, in this day and age, it is definitely a number that can be so exciting that you can't sleep.

Fortunately, Hou San was still determined, and when he was engaged in border trade, the amount was larger than this.

On the second day of opening, the turnover exceeded 6 million, and on the third day, it was still more than 6 million.

I have to say that although people today do not have much money in their hands, their purchasing power is really strong.

Liu Qingshan estimated that with the fading of the heat, the turnover will definitely subside slowly, but the signboard of Longteng Commercial Building was an instant hit.

This new business model brings a new experience to consumers, and a saying has gradually become popular in Beijing: buy things, get on the dragon.

At this point, the people of Longteng Company are completely stable in their hearts, and the rest is to ensure the smooth operation of the commercial building, which will bring the company a steady stream of cash like a money printing machine.

And Liu Qingshan also led the people under the tree to prepare to set off.
