Xie Yuhan led them outside.
As soon as I stepped out of the supermarket, the wind blew in my face from the opposite side.
"Master Xie, what are you doing here? It's quite windy, let's go inside!"
"Yes, Xiaoyu, let's go in."
Xie Yuhan shook her head.
He pointed to the two buildings directly opposite the supermarket.
"Look, what does the gap between the two buildings look like?"
"It's like a valley, quite spectacular!"
Wang De said.
Xie Yuhan shook her head; "No, this isn't a spectacular scene at all. It feels more like a gash cleaved by a giant sword."
"Hey! Now that you mention it, it does feel like that!"
After listening, Chen Zhe felt that it seemed like he really did have that feeling.
Is there any explanation for this?
"Of course there is. The 'Sky-Cutting Sha' is a relatively common phenomenon in Feng Shui. Your supermarket is directly facing the Sky-Cutting Sha, so it will be greatly affected, which may impact your wealth and health."
Wang De smiled.
“Master Xie, this is a rather superstitious belief. I don’t mean to disrespect you, but as you can see, our business is doing quite well now, so we can’t completely believe in feng shui.”
"Haha, didn't you just say that many supermarket employees have caught colds? Doesn't that mean their health is being affected?"
"This is just a coincidence. After all, it's been windy these past few days. Maybe one of the employees caught a cold and then spread it to others. This is quite normal and can't be attributed to the influence of the Heavenly Slash."
"That's a fair explanation. Now, come with me again!"
Xie Yuhan led them to the place next door, more than 100 meters away from the supermarket.
"What differences do you feel now?"
"Huh? Why does it feel like the wind has died down?"
Chen Zhe and Wang De exchanged a glance. They had felt a strong wind when they were at the supermarket entrance, but now that they were here, the wind seemed to have died down.
"In scientific terms, it's called the narrow-tube effect. The narrow-tube effect can turn a level 1 or 2 wind into a level 3 or 4 wind, which is why you feel the wind is stronger when you stand at the supermarket entrance."
The two suddenly realized.
"So, supermarket employees are more likely to get sick, right?"
Chen Zhe asked.
"Yes, that's true. That's just one aspect. There's also the issue of fortune. Although the supermarket is located at a crossroads with high foot traffic, facing this inauspicious direction will cause even the greatest fortune to be scattered. I'm certain that previous businesses that opened there all lost money!"
Wang De was stunned for a moment.
"It seems that's really the case. Several supermarkets there went out of business before, and I also heard... that some employees who were demanding their unpaid wages jumped off the building. One broke his leg, and another seems to be gone..."
When they went to rent the place, Wang De learned all this. Chen Zhe frowned. Now it seemed they had chosen the wrong location.
"Xiaoyu, is there any solution?"
Xie Yuhan said, "No rush, let's go back and tell you about all the problems we saw first."
"Uh-huh!"
After hearing Xie Yuhan's explanation of the Heavenly Slash, both of them were half convinced.
Arriving at the supermarket entrance, we went inside.
Xie Yuhan pointed to the large sign and the shelves in front of it and said, "When you open a business, the location of the main entrance is very important. If the main entrance were in a different direction, it might not be so bad. But it's located directly opposite the 'Sky-Cutting煞' (a Feng Shui term), and you've put so many obstacles here. The main entrance is where wealth comes from, but you encounter so many obstacles before you even enter. Do you think your business can be good?"
"So...should we take it apart?"
"It definitely has to be demolished, but it must be moved to a different location, and it would be best to move the main gate as well!"
"That's a huge project, it'll cost a lot of money, and we might have to close for a while..."
Wang De was somewhat worried.
"I'm just stating my opinion, and this place, this place doesn't feel right either!"
Xie Yuhan pointed to the cash registers and said.
Is there a problem here?
Chen Zhe asked.
"The cash registers are all lined up in a horizontal line, and there is no support between them. This means that as much money goes in, it goes out as soon as it goes out, and you can't keep the money."
"Oh? Many large supermarkets are designed like this!"
Wang De said.
Chen Zhe nodded; "The designer I hired is also an internationally renowned master, and many overseas designs are like this."
"That's true, but your checkout area is too narrow. Didn't you see those customers? They're in a very impatient queue, aren't they?"
"this……"
They looked at the customers in line and saw that several of them had put their items back because the wait had been too long.
"Then how should we change it?"
"Actually, it's not difficult. If you want to keep this design, you can expand the cash register by a few more spaces, and at the same time, add a bar-like cash register on each side near the wall as the main cash register. The ones in front can be used for smart self-checkout! This forms a design similar to a dam, with each part supporting the others."
"Hmm, this isn't difficult."
Xie Yuhan then led them up to the second floor; "Take a look at those red signs, what do they look like?"
"It's so vibrant and festive!"
Wang De said with a smile.
Chen Zhe suddenly remembered; "Like fire???"
Xie Yuhan nodded; "That's right, it's fire. The Heavenly Slash comes down with a strong wind, and fire will burn even more fiercely when it meets the wind. Add noise to that, and it will make people very irritable and easily angered."
When Chen Zhe and the others looked there again, they indeed saw a scene similar to the one they had just witnessed.
The customer was getting impatient and kept urging them to hurry up.
Because of his loud voice and bad temper, he clashed with some of the waiters and chefs, as if everyone was holding back a rage.
Thinking back to what Xie Yuhan just said.
Both of them were stunned.
"So, in conclusion, that person set up goods at the entrance, changed the layout of the second floor, and increased the noise, all in an attempt to burn the supermarket down with a fire—a fire of anger! As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth; if everyone is angry, where will the wealth come from?"
Chen Zhe and Wang De exchanged a glance.
The two of them looked at the bills from this period, and it was indeed as Xie Yuhan said: they hadn't managed to save any money.
They now completely believe Xie Yuhan.
"Xiaoyu! Just tell us what you want us to do, and we'll do it!"
...
Another supermarket in Xicheng District.
In the office.
Wei Ming, Tian Dongqiang, and Meng He were drinking tea with smiles on their faces.
Tian Dongqiang was the one pouring tea; "President Wei's move is brilliant. I believe it won't be long before Zhe Shangzhe goes bankrupt. That brat Chen Zhe is backed by Hu Ling. Taking him down will be good for our business and will also help us vent our anger."
During the first few days after Zhe Shangzhe opened, the business of nearby supermarkets suffered a significant drop. Now, this [Lifulai] is Wei Ming's personal property.
He certainly couldn't let his business be affected.
Wei Ming chuckled; "Trying to steal my business? Not so easy! Hu Ling will pay you back exactly what she took from you before. Their investment this time is estimated to be over a hundred million; I'll bankrupt them within a month!!"
Meng He chimed in, "President Wei, don't worry. I've already tampered with their supermarket. Now Wang De listens to whatever I say. I've also contacted many suppliers. We'll launch a coordinated attack and give them a good beating!"
"Yes, Meng, you did well this time. Keep it up."
The three people were chatting and laughing when there was a knock on the door.
Xu Weiwei walked in.
After entering, she came to Wei Ming's side in a very charming and coquettish manner.
"Mr. Wei, I just saw a gold bracelet that I really like..."
Wei Ming smiled and said, "Then let's buy it!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, you're the best!"
He planted a big kiss on Wei Ming's cheek, which made Tian Dongqiang, who was standing next to him, feel a little annoyed, but he still smiled on the surface.
"Mr. Wei, if there's nothing else, we'll head out now?"
Wei Ming waved his hand; "Go!"
The two had just stepped out, and before the door was completely closed, they heard discordant sounds coming from inside.
Tian Dongqiang clenched his fists tightly.
Meng He quipped, "Minister Tian is truly a Ninja Turtle! Tsk tsk, I'm impressed!"
