The crowd gathered around Donglai Street.
Compared to the bustling activity of firecrackers and the large number of people and vehicles on Donglai Street, Dongfu Street in Xishi was much quieter.
With few people and cars around, Brother Nai didn't set up a stage. He simply stood in the middle of the street corner, clasped his hands in greeting, said a few polite words to the onlookers, and then announced the 20% discount as a grand opening promotion.
"What? You can buy something that costs ten coins for only eight?"
"Isn't that just making two coins for free?"
The discounts caught the attention of the onlookers, who all turned to look at the West Market.
Those who had stepped into Donglai Street in the East Market quickly turned back and walked towards Dongfu Street in the West Market.
"Fellow villagers, we also offer a 20% discount."
"Something that costs ten coins, I only spend eight coins."
The discounts offered in the West Market seemed to be within Song Yi's expectations, and he quickly offered his own discounts as well.
"This Chairman Song is indeed a decisive person."
Jiang Shuwan, who was upstairs, fixed her gaze on Song Yi for a moment.
Even before the two streets opened, the East Market side had a significant advantage.
Doing business also requires the right timing, location, and people.
They opened on the same day, so it was a tie.
It has a good location; the Dongshi Donglai Street area is well-located and has a large flow of people.
The people here are more important; the merchants from the East Market have been operating here for decades, and they have a good reputation and popularity, making them far superior to them.
in this way.
This was quite unfavorable for the merchants of the West Market.
With so many advantages, the merchants in the East Market could easily offer no discounts, or offer slightly less attractive discounts, and customers would still choose the East Market first.
But they chose the same discount as them.
This shows just how determined Dongshi is to compete with them.
They were incredibly generous with their money and resources.
"What? The price is the same in the East Market?"
"Then we'll definitely choose the East Market."
The crowd surged toward Donglai Street in Dongshi once again, this time without any hesitation, and went straight in to buy food and drinks.
Because of these discounts, they felt even more that buying them was a great deal.
They were incredibly generous when it came to buying things, making the merchants in the East Market beam with joy.
Song Yi offered discounts along with the West Market, causing them to earn significantly less.
However, the increase in total revenue can offset the losses from those smaller earnings.
"May your business prosper! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to everyone! May your businesses prosper!"
Ninety percent of the pedestrian traffic on the two streets was drawn away by Donglai Street.
The merchants in the East Market were all smiles as they watched the customers crowding their shops.
The intersection of two streets.
People continued to gather there.
"Sister, which street should we go to buy milk tea?"
Two sisters suddenly appeared on the street.
They were originally loyal customers of Jiang Shuwan's milk tea shop in Xishi.
In the past, I would walk half an hour to the West Market just to get a cup of authentic milk tea.
Now that there's a milk tea street in Dongshi, they're overjoyed.
Today, they originally came to support the shops of the merchants in the West Market.
But looking at Dongfu Street, Donglai Street hesitated.
They wanted to support Dongfu Street.
Donglai Street was owned by merchants from the East Market.
Their usual shopping habits are to buy things from the shops of merchants in the East Market.
The shopkeeper and waiters all knew each other.
They are honest business people and wouldn't cheat them.
I heard that the milk tea they opened tastes pretty good, not much different from the ones in Xishi.
This is really a dilemma.
"Is this Miss Xiaoqin? What would you like to buy today? I have everything in my shop."
As they hesitated, a voice suddenly came from the side.
The girl named Xiaoqin looked up and saw that it was Wang, the shopkeeper who ran the shop next to her house.
Shopkeeper Wang has also opened a shop on Donglai Street?
Xiaoqin suddenly felt a strange sensation.
Shopkeeper Wang has run his shop in her family for ten years and is very kind to people.
But every time he saw her pass by, he would look at her with a longing yet hesitant gaze.
Being looked at like that made her too embarrassed to go to other stores to buy things.
"Xiaoqin".
At that moment, Manager Wang looked at him with that familiar gaze again.
Xiaoqin suddenly had the illusion that going to another shop would be betraying Manager Wang.
Damn it! (〃＞皿＜)
They're not even relatives, so why would she have such feelings?
Despite her inner turmoil, Xiaoqin couldn't resist Manager Wang's gaze and smile, and walked towards him step by step.
"Manager Wang, I'd like to buy two cups of milk tea."
Two lines of tears streamed down Xiaoqin's face.
Heavens above!
She originally wanted to go and support the West Market!
Waaaaaah~~
But her feet wouldn't obey her commands.
Many people had the same "encounter" as Xiaoqin, and they all gradually entered Donglai Street.
There were also wealthy and influential people who frequently drove to the West Market Milk Tea Street to buy food, and they noticed that the East Market merchants also had shops there.
I went straight into the shop on Donglai Street in Dongshi without any hesitation.
"It's not like I haven't been to Dongfu Street before."
"The street is not as wide as Donglai Street, the houses are dilapidated, and the street sanitation is worrying."
"At the same price and with almost the same taste, only a fool would choose Dongfu Street."
More and more people flocked to Donglai Street.
The merchants in the East Market were confident of victory, and their initial nervousness subsided. Several shopkeepers even gathered together to laugh at the merchants in the West Market.
“Those merchants from the West Market are overestimating themselves, actually coming to our territory to do business.”
"Now look what's happened, I'm so sorry my mother won't recognize me."
"These people should be more humble. They rank third from the bottom among our Beijing business circle."
"They only made a name for themselves this year, and once they became famous, they got arrogant."
"Hahaha, let them get away with this, they've really lost out now."
"However, their boss is indeed quite something. In the past, when we opened a restaurant, we always tried to avoid competing with them."
"That's good, all the top shopkeepers are gathered together, so that when customers want to buy food, her street is the first place they think of."
"Moreover, some customers originally only wanted to buy a few skewers, but after smelling the aroma of the milk tea being brewed next door, they also decided to buy milk tea."
"I bought milk tea and then saw the mutton soup next door."
"After finishing the mutton soup, I wanted to go to a teahouse to rest for a while."
"Goodness, we only spent an hour or two eating and shopping, and everyone made money."
"I wonder where the West Market found such a skilled head of the entertainment industry."
"I admire you."
The shopkeepers all looked on with admiration, then changed the subject and laughed.
"Unfortunately, all the good ideas of that head of the company ended up benefiting us."
"Who told him to overestimate himself and open a shop in our East Market?"
"It's true that our Vice President Song has a keen eye for talent. Everyone else thought that this street in the West Market wouldn't be successful and that any shop there would lose money."
"But our Vice President Song had the foresight to think it could be done. He overruled all objections and persuaded us to open Donglai Street, which allowed us to make a fortune."
"Those who didn't participate must be kicking themselves."
"And those businessmen in the South and North markets, hahahaha."
The shopkeepers were all laughing happily, but the merchants from the East Market who hadn't participated felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry.
