Chapter 164 Don't be in a hurry, just wait

This was destined to be an extraordinary day, Huo Guang was not awakened by Qiaoer's careful knock on the door, nor was he awakened by urination, but he woke up naturally, which was naturally very early, because Rongguang Shopping Mall opened today.

He said that everything was ready, but he still didn't feel relieved if he didn't go earlier. Wang Yi patted his chest early and promised that everything could be done by him, and the county horse didn't need to come forward.

Thinking of Wang Yi's expression when he spoke, Huo Guang couldn't help shaking his head. He would be really stupid if he believed it.

A few days ago, the streets where they came out to grab seats before dawn are now much deserted, because basically two-thirds of the stall owners have already settled in Huo Guang's shopping mall, and the rest of the stall owners don't need to get up early to fight for it. I am happy that I can occupy a good position without fighting, but... I can only be happy for one day.

Huo Guang thought he would be the first to arrive, but he was taken aback. From a distance, he saw craftsmen patrolling with their tools. The craftsmen standing outside near the stage to check saw Huo Guang and hurried over to meet him.

"Why did the county horse come so early, there is still some time before the auspicious time, why don't you rest more in the mansion."

Huo Guang was quite emotional when he heard the words of the craftsmen. Without his supervision, the craftsmen consciously got up early to check the work they were in charge of. They didn't want to pay more wages, nor did they want to please the county horse. It's just because it's their responsibility, and they have to watch the mall officially open before they can rest assured.

"You all got up so early, and the mall officially opened today, how can I sleep? Let's see what else needs to be temporarily changed."

In fact, there is nothing that needs to be changed. Even if there is now, it is too late. I am here at this moment because of my duty.

Huo Guang was chatting with the craftsmen, when a group of noisy voices came from behind him, and he knew who it was without thinking, "Junma, we are here, if you have any orders, just tell them, and I will wait for your order." Monkey face fucked With a loud voice, the group of people behind shouted and shouted. It is their honor to be able to follow the county horse, and it is unbelievable to hear that the county horse will pay them wages. The monkey face just mentioned it, everyone If it doesn't light up, it will follow.

One after another, the "staff" have already arrived at the mall, and the merchants are also getting ready early. Huo Guang can't help but lament that people's sense of responsibility is really strong at this time.

What he didn't expect was that the common people were waiting at the door early. Before the actual opening time, there was already a long queue at the door of the mall. He thought that someone would get up early, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people. People line up.

The first floor is mainly for selling food, and it is also for the convenience of the common people. Generally, they buy food and leave after buying, so the facilities are on the first floor, and the top ten customers of all food categories will have discounts. Note that it is all food categories, so some ordinary people don’t care at all. What kind of food to buy, as long as there is a discount, you can buy steamed buns if you are not in the top ten, you can buy chaotic buns if you are not, and wontons are not a big deal.

It is because of this mentality that the queue is getting longer and longer. No one knows how much food there is. Once you get in line, you are reluctant to leave. You always take a chance.

"Junma, there are already so many people queuing up, should we advance the opening hours?" Wang Yi was anxious on the sidelines. There are so many people waiting to buy things, but the county horse won't let in, feeling anxious.

Huo Guang glanced at the long queue, pursed his lips and smiled, "Wait a moment."

Wang Yi couldn't resist the county horse, so he could only wander around in a temperless manner. After walking two steps, he wanted to come over and ask if he could open the door.

One of the advantages of setting up a shopping mall is to solve the disadvantages of having to get up early to occupy a place on the street. The shopping mall must have a time for opening and closing on time. This will never change according to the purchasing power of ordinary people. Deadly rules, cannot be broken.

The merchants inside enter from the back, and the back door has long been guarded by people with monkey faces. As long as they are merchants and staff in the mall, they will have a work card. No matter who they are, they must show their work cards to enter through this back door. Although people are illiterate, they still have this executive ability, and they have completed this task very well.

Because of this matter, Wang Yi complained all morning. He came out in a hurry in the morning and forgot to bring his work card. , Said that the county horse told him that he had to have a job card to enter. After looking for the county horse several times, the answer was the same, "Come in accordance with the regulations." So he ran back to the Hou Mansion to get the fake card.

There is no such thing as a circle without rules. Since it wants to go through formal channels, this mall must follow the rules in every small detail, including itself.

The merchants were also anxious, seeing the long queue outside, but the county horse didn't allow people to come in, and they didn't dare to go out to ask, all they knew was that the county horse said it was a rule, and they would strictly enforce when to open and when to close the door every day. .The most incomprehensible thing for them is that Junma made strict requirements on the goods that can be displayed on the first day of opening, and did not allow too many.They used to sell as many as possible. Even if they were unwilling, no one dared to violate the intention of the county horse, and they would not sell it if they were not allowed to sell it. They definitely did not dare to sell it secretly.

Junma also gave this behavior a strange name called "hunger marketing".They understand hunger, but what is marketing?

Amidst the waves of complaints, Huo Guang waited until Sishi, before ordering Monkey Face to open the door of the shopping mall.

Originally, I wanted to do a tailoring, but who knew that the people were so enthusiastic that they rushed into the small building like crazy as soon as they opened the door. In the blink of an eye, the first floor was already full of people, and the discounts for the top ten customers attracted them in, although there were only ten places. , but I have been waiting outside for so long, who would be willing to go home just because they are ranked No.11, and there is also a full gift event, as long as a certain amount is full, there will be coupons, only Come back half a month later to get the same discount.

All of a sudden, everyone in the shopping mall was thinking about how to buy the most cost-effective things for them. Some of them obviously only wanted to buy one thing, but they thought that adding a little more would get the amount of the coupon, so they calculated and bought something else. .

The pre-built semi-open-air stage outside the mall has been singing and dancing. In order to have a good opening, Huo Guang has invited kabuki performers from Fuchu to perform. Ordinary people have never seen these performances before, and they all stop with envy.
