Chapter 559: Luck

After everyone rushed in through the door, they were greeted by a dazzling array of vegetables. They looked exceptionally cute on the shelves.

There were a lot of varieties. Everything looked fresh, tender, and watery. They were clearly different from the ones in the market.

“Have these vegetables been injected with growth hormones? Normal vegetables don’t look like this.” The customers had not seen such beautiful vegetables before. The vegetables felt like they were taken directly out of a magazine.

“It shouldn’t be.” Someone picked up the poster in his hand and glanced at it. “The poster says that all the things here are green vegetables. They haven’t been injected with pesticides, let alone hormones.”

Someone snorted. “Many businesses lie to make money.”

“But it shouldn’t be the case here. They opened this supermarket for vegetables. They must be planning to do this long-term. They won’t lie to the customers because it’d be easily exposed. Then their business will die quickly.”

“Come, let’s go and take a look. Today, these things are 50% off. After the discount, the things on the first floor are about the same price as the vegetables in the market. We’ll buy some today.”

“But we’ll go to the second floor to take a look first!”

Many customers did the same things. They would buy the vegetables on the first floor, but they wanted to browse the stuff on the second floor. After all, the things on the second floor were more expensive.

Thus, many people rushed to the second floor, causing the second floor to quickly become crowded.

Of course, there were also many people on the first floor, but it was obviously much less than on the second floor.

There were also many people who placed their purchases in their shopping carts before they went up to the second floor. When they reached the second floor, the customers realized that most things there were sold by the unit. Plus, the price was ridiculously high. Even after a 50 percent discount, the price was still several times higher than the price in the market.

For example, the tomato was sold on the first floor at 3 RMB per catty, but it was 3 RMB each on the second floor. One tomato weighed around 3 taels so there would be 3 of them per catty. In other words, the price was 9 RMB per catty. That price caused many people’s hearts to tremble. It was so expensive!

The price of pork was only six or seven RMB per catty. These tomatoes cost more than pork.

However...

An old lady asked curiously, “The tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, potatoes, and even cabbage here are sold by the unit. Why is that?”

The supermarket staff explained to them with a smile, “Because these vegetables are all the same size.”

“The same size?” Many people asked curiously, “How is that possible?” This was the first time many customers had heard of that. If one or two had the same size, it was possible, but for hundreds of them? There was clearly something suspicious going on.

The staff smiled, “Yes, they are all of the same sizes. For example, the tomatoes are three taels each. There is a scale there. You can weigh them to find out.”

Someone grabbed a tomato and put it on the scale. It was indeed three taels. “How is this possible? Did your supermarket specially pick out this kind of tomato to sell?”

The staff smiled, “No. All our first-grade tomatoes are this size. However, the third-grade and second-grade tomatoes will be sold by the catty.”

“Why is the price so different? Aren’t these the same type of tomato?” He did not understand.

“It’s because of the difference in taste!” The supermarket employee smiled and explained, “The better they taste, the higher the price!”

“Oh.”

“You are welcomed to taste!” The staff was quite happy. They thought that they wouldn’t have many customers since the prices were so high. However, on the opening, many people swarmed in. They tasted the free samples and bought the vegetables without hesitation.

The supermarket staff had bonuses on top of their base salaries. The bonuses were dependent on their customer reviews.

The best employee would get one month’s salary. In other words, the best employee would receive a double salary. Their base salary was 2,100. Adding the bonus would make their monthly salary 4,200 RMB, which was equivalent to a white-collar worker’s salary.

Therefore, they tried their best to satisfy the customer. Otherwise, if the customer complained, they would lose points.

Therefore, every employee was very dedicated!

...

Boss Pang waited for a while in the general manager’s office but did not see anyone come in. He could not help but feel a little flustered.

However, he realized that Xiao Lingyu was entertaining Yan Siming, so his worries subsided slightly.

He thought about it and walked out of the office. When he arrived in the corridor and saw the situation in the supermarket, he was stunned. ‘How is the business so good?

‘Before the supermarket opened, the aunties and uncles were complaining loudly about the prices.

‘But it hasn’t been long since the doors opened! These?aunties and uncles had changed their minds and were fighting to buy things.’

He knew those aunties and uncles very well. They liked cheap and beautiful things. But the things in this supermarket were definitely not cheap. Seeing the stock being quickly depleted, Boss Pang was anxious.

Even ordinary people were fighting over these expensive vegetables. He wondered how that would affect his deal negotiation.

Then, Boss Pang noticed a few familiar faces surrounding the general manager of the supermarket, trying to curry favor with him.

Boss Pang couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.

Boss Pang wondered if he should go and find the Boss or Boss Zeng. However, this was their grand opening. They were definitely busy. It would be rude to disturb them. However, if he didn’t do anything, what if he lost out to his competitors?

While he hesitated, Xiao Lingyu came out after feeding the baby.

She saw Boss Pang, who was pacing back and forth in the corridor, and shouted, “Boss Pang, please come with me!”

She had asked him to wait in the general manager’s office earlier. She intended to have Zeng Yaozu negotiate with him but she forgot about that after she ran into Yan Siming. In that case, she might as well talk to him herself.

At that moment, Boss Pang felt like Lady Luck had smiled upon him.
