Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Sudden Wealth
Song Yanxi spent several days accompanying her elder sister Chen Yao around Capital City.
There are many businesses that can make money now, and the hottest is naturally Internet entrepreneurship.
But that’s something they cannot handle.
Even Chen Pingsheng himself said that the Internet thing could only be left to fate.
If there are good projects in the future, they can invest in them.
But to do it themselves would be totally out of the question.
Without an education, you just don’t have one; to stubbornly pursue something you can’t handle, the result would definitely not be good.
For them, the traditional industry is still more suitable at present.
Since her elder sister used to run a grocery store, Chen Pingsheng suggested she stick to that.
The idea was to open one on a commercial street, spending four or five hundred thousand in transfer fees to take over a popular shop.
In the future, it would definitely not be a problem to earn two to three hundred thousand a year.
A grocery store is just a small supermarket, where the profits are generally okay.
This kind of business doesn’t have too many barriers; it mainly depends on the location—a good location with high foot traffic naturally brings good business.
For elder sister Chen Yao, this business is like old hat.
Chen Pingsheng felt this was the safest route for her.
The transfer fee could be paid by them, but the other investments for the grocery store should still be undertaken by her family.
They couldn’t pay for everything.
Chen Qi felt this was a very good idea. A couple opening a grocery store in Capital City, earning a stable few hundred thousand a year, would live a life that would be better in any aspect than in Sha City.
If they could also buy a house, the family would not be too pressured from then on.
Chen Yao couldn’t decide by herself; she still wanted to go back and discuss it with her brother-in-law.
Chen Pingsheng took her to the train station, just waiting for the two to make up their minds before coming back.
Now, the National Day was fast approaching, and perhaps it was because they became familiar with the fruit sale tactics here.
Nongguo Garden actually took the lead in launching a recharge promotion.
The intensity was much bigger than usual, and not by offering durians.
Instead, it was recharge and get extra cash, roughly recharge five hundred and get a hundred free.
Recharge a thousand and get three hundred, that kind of deal.
Many customers had already recharged their cards there; now it was time to see how his side would respond.
Showing no respect for martial ethics.
After Chen Pingsheng arrived at the company, Zhang Tao, Liu Jing and the rest were also there.
All five main street shops in Shijingshan had completed the initial phases of attracting customers and accumulating client base.
Now the task was to recover the costs and possibly even make a year’s profit in one month.
After all, these five shops were their largest investment so far.
It took a total of eight million to open them up.
“Old Chen, with Nongguo Garden doing this, if we just offer durians, the impact definitely won’t be that big.”
“They give three hundred for a thousand, which is completely enough to buy durians.”
Chen Pingsheng thought about it; the promotion definitely had to change.
The intensity absolutely could not be less than Nongguo Garden’s.
It had to seem even more attractive.
This required a certain finesse.
Actually, the greater the intensity, the better it was for him personally because he could increase his income by chance through the recharge promotion.
It really affected Zhang Tao and the others, after all.
“What do you guys think our promotion should be?”
“What else can we do? Just follow their lead. If they give a hundred for five hundred, we give two hundred directly. If they give three hundred for a thousand, we give five hundred for a thousand.”
That was indeed straightforward and forceful.
A clear challenge.
Fight magic with magic.
Chen Pingsheng felt this was even bigger than offering durians, but it shouldn’t be limited to one thousand.
They must also consider recharging three thousand.
If you recharge three thousand, you get one thousand five hundred plus a durian.
If this promotion went out, he was sure that instead of the planned twenty million recharge in October,
Thirty to fifty million might be possible.
Once this recharge promotion ended, whether it was them or Nongguo Garden, they would definitely tacitly end the price war.
Directly raise the price.
If they didn’t raise the price, they would all face huge losses.
After all, the money given away could be spent normally, which amounted to a twenty-five percent discount off the original price.
They had to take this discount into account.
Only then can we ensure profits in the later stages.
Chen Pingsheng decided with a slap on the desk, let’s do it this way.
It had been a long time since he received a random income multiplier.
This wave was going to be a big win, half of the money would be used to blanket Shijingshan, and the other half would go into investing in the entertainment industry.
After all, he had now unlocked the function to invest in the entertainment industry, and with money in hand, he was thinking of registering Tengying Entertainment Investment Co., Ltd. in the Second Ring of Capital City.
In the future, it would be dedicated to investing in TV dramas.
He’d also get to experience the feeling of being a cultural boss in the star-studded entertainment industry.
After this round of recharging, he was definitely going to step into the entertainment industry.
Since Tengsheng Group completed its share reform and transformation, its execution had multiplied many times over.
Chen Pingsheng had also set incredibly high recharge rewards for the management teams of the five stores.
For each store recharging up to three million, the team reward would be one hundred thousand.
For single store recharges above three million but below five million,
the team reward would be two hundred thousand.
For those above five million but below eight million,
the team reward would be three hundred thousand.
When the rewards were set high, employees would be passionate about working their hardest.
If they could really achieve a thirty-million recharge in October, then the managers of these stores
would have a monthly income of no less than one hundred thousand.
And none of the service staff would earn less than twenty to thirty thousand.
This truly achieved the goal of the boss making money while the staff also get to drink some meaty soup.
The recharge event, which was originally planned for the National Day holiday, started directly on September 25th.
Just like before, durians were piled high in mountains.
Everywhere was adorned with event banners, and the checkout areas increased from the usual four to eight.
That’s a full doubling.
There was no need to worry about them skipping town, after all, in 2013 hair salons seldom did such things, so even less likely was it for these huge fruit supermarkets.
Especially since Tengsheng Fruit had made a statement with their presence in Shijingshan.
The store opened incredibly fast.
It was as if overnight, you could see them everywhere.
After this wave passed, Chen Pingsheng would definitely cover Shijingshan completely.
This would completely form a regional monopoly.
As for recharging, Nongguo Garden gave the exact amount that was recharged.
He had a random income multiplier, may I ask how you plan to cope with that?
Song Yanxi wasn’t going anywhere these days, just watching the financial statements with numbers soaring upwards every day.
What could be more thrilling than this?
First day of the recharge event.
The five stores raked in one million two hundred thousand.
Second day of the recharge event, a wild one million three hundred and ten thousand.
Third day of the recharge event, a fierce one million three hundred and eighty thousand.
Song Yanxi felt as if the whooshing bills were constantly flying toward her.
Chen Pingsheng sneered secretly. Little girls just have no idea.
This little money made her grin from ear to ear, just watch my next move.
“Ding, congratulations, host, for accumulating one million nine hundred and eighty thousand in income. Would you like to open the random multiplier?”
“Open.”
Two plain golden dice surfaced again, and with an additional six on one, the chances of rolling a high multiplier increased noticeably.
The first one wobbled to a stop on the five.
Chen Pingsheng’s eyes lit up. Don’t be too ecstatic.
He had been poor for two months. Do you have any idea how I made it through these two months?
Without even going out for a fancy drink.
Of course, that’s a joke, the main thing is the excitement.
His decision to invest eleven million all at once in opening stores in Shijingshan was just too wise.
What’s called a windfall, this was it.
Recharging gift cards brought in more income than giving away durians, and durians still had costs while the gifted money had none.
An unexpected windfall.
If the girl next door knew about his current income, she’d probably go crazy getting on his case in the evening.
“Ding, congratulations host, for achieving an eight-times random income multiplier.”
“Ding, your Alipay account has received fifteen million eight hundred and forty thousand, with a balance of fifteen million nine hundred and twenty thousand.”
