Chapter 363 1977
Whether it is a cashier, shopping guide, merchandiser or salesperson, they will all provide the most smiling service.
There is still a big problem in opening supermarkets abroad. The supermarkets there are generally luxury and are known for wasting food.
Every day, a large amount of food that is ugly, about to expire or not fresh is thrown away just so that the middle class can buy the freshest food.
Every large supermarket has strict regulations on food shelving. For top-quality cucumbers, the curvature must not exceed one centimeter for every ten centimeters.
First-rate green asparagus must be green for 80% of its length, and the cauliflower must be no less than 11 cm in diameter.
Throwing away all the unqualified food will only cause the wasted food to rot slowly, which is an extremely wasteful behavior.
What's more, the shelf life of food is not equal to the expiration date.
Lin Yunxi had read reports about urban food overproduction in modern times. Forty percent of the world's food supply was thrown into the trash every day, costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
You have to know that in this day and age, more than three out of every ten people suffer from long-term hunger, and many people still look for food in garbage cans.
To this end, Lin Yunxi came up with a good idea that would kill two birds with one stone: open a smaller, affordable supermarket in each city.
All the food sold here is about to expire and fruits and vegetables that are not very fresh or not very good-looking. The food prices are super cheap, with everything starting at 20% to 30% off.
When the low-cost supermarket was first opened, there were basically few people patronizing it because people found it difficult to accept food that was about to expire.
I am even more worried that such cheap food may be of poor quality and will be wasted if I buy it.
For this purpose, the store has specially opened a small open kitchen, where every customer who comes in can see professional chefs using the store’s products to create nutritious food.
Although some foods don’t look good, they are still very fresh. Take corn for example. After peeling off the husk, the corn kernels inside are full.
Customers can taste the delicious food prepared by the chefs. The shopping atmosphere in the store is very warm and the service of the staff is very thoughtful.
Gradually, people stopped resisting, and many families and even young people who had just started working came to the store to shop every day.
Not only can they buy food that they could not afford to eat before at extremely low prices, but their meager daily wages can also feed the whole family.
As the popularity of the affordable supermarket grows, the business in the store is getting better day by day, allowing people at the lower end of the society to live a happy life even though they are not very rich.
What’s most surprising is that food that would otherwise be thrown into the trash can can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year.
This made Annie, who was originally not optimistic about this proposal, completely impressed. From then on, no matter what ideas Lin Yunxi proposed, Annie would treat them as solemnly as an imperial decree.
In the following years, Lin Yunxi and Annie's initial cooperation went smoothly, and their ideas remained consistent as always.
Every project that Annie has collaborated on with Huaxi has been profitable every year, and the profits are getting higher every year.
In addition, for some investments that Annie is undecided about, she will listen to Lin Yunxi's opinions before making a decision.
Therefore, the projects she took a fancy to and participated in basically did not lose money, which also allowed Anne and her family to successfully enter the upper class of Country L.
After spending all these years together, Lin Yunxi and Annie have developed from a partnership to a good friend relationship.
Although the two were in different countries and rarely saw each other throughout the year, they always kept in touch by phone.
Whenever Annie saw clothes, bags, evening dresses or jewelry that were suitable for Lin Yunxi in Country L or other countries, she would buy them and send them to China.
Lin Yunxi catered to Annie's taste by sending her some delicious food that suited her taste, fine wine that she brewed herself, and tonic medicine for her.
Lin Yunxi's domestic businesses are also developing in full swing. The most profitable and largest ones are the pharmaceutical factories, cosmetics factories and wine factories.
Secondly, there are various food factories under its umbrella. With the assistance of the management system, these factories have spread across major cities across the country.
In addition to supplying the huge domestic market, the rest of the products are all exported to dozens of countries including Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, etc. Huaxi once became one of the top three largest companies in Asia.
In the following years, Huaxi also successfully established Huaxi Group through internal restructuring, a joint venture jointly invested by the state and individuals.
After much discussion and decision, Lin Yunxi holds the largest number of shares and serves as the highest decision-maker and executor of the group.
Responsible for formulating the group's strategic goals and development plans, leading and managing the group's work, and ensuring the long-term and stable development of the group.
Time flies, and soon it was 1977.
Gu Zheng has been promoted from brigade commander to division commander, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, serving as the commander of a division-level unit in the army.
Commander Zhou was transferred to Beijing last year to serve as the commander of the 55th Army, and Aunt Zhou also went with him.
