As night fell, the first day of business finally came to a close. Qian Duoduo, with a smile, led the company's finance team and several managers through the supermarket doors. Seven finance staff and three managers headed towards the checkout area to prepare for the handover.
Since it was the first day, the supermarket's popularity was evident to everyone. However, even though they were mentally prepared, when the cashier opened the cash register, the colorful and varied bills inside were instantly displayed in front of everyone's eyes. For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded and speechless at the sight before them.
The finance staff, true to their professional background, counted money with practiced ease and fluidity, a skill that drew admiration from onlookers. Their fingers deftly flipped through the banknotes, quickly and accurately organizing and calculating each amount; their expert movements resembled a magnificent symphony.
Time ticked by, and after four hours of intense and organized work, the ten staff members finally completed the calculation of the day's total sales. Meanwhile, other supermarket employees were also busy, working tirelessly to replenish the shelves.
When the final sales figures were presented, everyone gasped in astonishment—a staggering 0.9 yuan! This astonishing amount left everyone present speechless. Keep in mind that in those days, the average monthly salary was only around one or two hundred yuan, yet this Wanmao Supermarket had achieved a sales volume approaching 70,000 yuan in just one day! What did this mean? For these people, such a massive figure was simply unimaginable.
This news was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the flames of enthusiasm in the hearts of Qian Mao, Qian Rao, Qian Xiang, Qian Gui, and others. They were all so excited that their faces turned red, unable to contain their excitement.
Qian Gui hurried up to Qian Duoduo, his face beaming with a bright smile, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Duoduo! I never expected that we would achieve such an amazing turnover of 70,000 on just the first day of opening! If this continues, won't we be able to recoup the cost of the entire building very quickly?"
However, faced with everyone's optimistic expectations, Qian Duoduo calmly shook her head and explained, "Don't get too excited yet. The reason we had such high sales today is mainly because the new store's opening promotions attracted a large number of customers. Only after those customers who originally had the purchasing power have completed their purchases will we be able to truly see how well this supermarket performs on a normal, daily basis."
Hearing this, Qian Mao thought for a moment, then reassured everyone, "It's alright! Once the upstairs area is fully renovated and put into use, it will definitely bring in a large influx of new customers. At that time, the turnover might even reach a new level!"
Qian Duoduo nodded slightly in agreement, then led everyone to carefully deliver the cash to the finance department upstairs and put it into the safe. That safe wasn't ordinary; it was a high-end item that Qian Duoduo had specially purchased from Su Ranran in the spatial mall. These safes were not only extremely secure but also exquisitely designed and beautiful, so Qian Duoduo bought a full ten at once! In her own words, "Even a cunning rabbit prepares three hiding places; for such important safes, I naturally think it wouldn't hurt to have a few more."
For the next week, Wanmao Supermarket's turnover remained stable between 50,000 and 70,000 yuan. While this performance wasn't as impressive as the initial figures, it was still more than enough to make the company's leadership ecstatic. After all, maintaining such a relatively stable and considerable level of revenue was no easy feat in the current economic climate.
Time flies, and it's already mid-June. At this time, people were pleasantly surprised to find that Wanmao Company's familiar advertisements were once again frequently appearing on the screens of Pengcheng TV and Guangdong TV. Following the previous massive publicity campaign for Wanmao Plaza, this new advertisement from Wanmao Company successfully attracted public attention once again. However, unexpectedly, this time the advertisement conveyed the exciting news of the grand opening of the electronics store on the sixth floor of Wanmao Commercial Plaza!
The news, once released, was like a powerful bombshell, instantly creating ripples in the previously calm city of Shenzhen. Citizens with a little spare cash couldn't contain their excitement, quickly digging out their savings books to check their balances, secretly calculating whether they could afford their desired home appliances. Even more exciting was the fact that the appliance store's opening ceremony was specially chosen to be held on July 1st, the Party's birthday, a day filled with joyous celebration. Furthermore, the organizers thoughtfully offered a highly attractive promotion: anyone whose birthday falls on July 1st would receive a birthday gift prepared by Wanmao Plaza.
When many people arrived at Wanmao Commercial Plaza on the free shuttle buses provided by Wanmao Supermarket, the huge mall's exterior billboards displayed the words "Warmly Celebrate the Grand Opening of Wanmao Home Appliances." People quickly stepped through the revolving glass doors of Wanmao Commercial Plaza, heading straight for the home appliance plaza on the sixth floor. However, unexpectedly, many found that half of the area was blocked off, yet even so, the sheer number of home appliances displayed on the other half was still dazzling and overwhelming.
Rows of shelves were neatly arranged with several television sets of various sizes. Some screens were on, playing the currently popular drama "Aspiration," the picture clear and realistic, attracting many people to stop and watch. Nearby were a variety of tape recorders, from traditional cassette players to radios. "Sweet, sweet, your smile is so sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze..." The sweet voice wafted out, prompting some young men and women to hum along softly. There were also electric fans, some small and compact enough to be used on a table, others floor-standing, blowing powerful air. Large household appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators were also present, as well as smaller appliances like rice cookers.
As everyone was immersed in the dazzling array of home appliances, the enthusiastic shouts of sales staff rang out: "Dear customers, if you purchase two or more large appliances with a total price exceeding two thousand yuan, we will provide free delivery within the Shenzhen city area!" This news was like a refreshing spring, instantly soothing many hearts. Large appliances like refrigerators and washing machines are not only bulky but also heavy, making it no easy task for ordinary citizens to carry them home themselves. Now that businesses are proactively offering home delivery services, it truly saves consumers a lot of trouble, which is sure to bring joy.
