Rebirth 1983

Chapter 421 It's Time for the Shopping Card to Appear

"Don't worry, just wait for them to make moves. It's not a big problem, we can handle it."

Having figured this out, Chen Song comforted Zhou Wanyan, saying that Andrew's competition was nothing.

Under Chen Song's reassurance, Zhou Wanyan finally believed that Chen Song had a way to counter the opponent, so she felt relieved and ran into the house to cook.

Chen Song smiled, although he felt that Andrew was taking a different route than himself, but competition still existed, and it was better to make some preparations.

Next, Chen Song thought about some measures, found a pen and paper, and wrote down a few plans on it, large-scale promotions, discounts, buy one get one free, big sales when the expiration date is approaching, and other activities.In view of Andrew's estimate that he will create a membership-only store, Chen Song decided to introduce the supermarket shopping card in advance.

In later generations, shopping cards occupy a very important position, and even become a very important way of shopping, which is favored by more and more consumers.

After all, the shopping card has a very active objective demand. From its own characteristics, the shopping card is a non-real-name system, so it has the ability to circulate anonymously. This small card, as long as the supermarket’s credit endorsement, within a certain period of time and scope, this card can even replace RMB for payment and circulation, and it will not affect the RMB market.Because in essence, it is not only a commodity, but also a 'currency'.

Secondly, shopping cards are more convenient for transactions and increase convenience.Although there is no corresponding equipment in China that can swipe cards, it is possible to make cards in another way.Using Xiaobawang's technology, it is enough to make equipment that can be deducted correspondingly.

Now consumers have begun to pursue the use of small currency transactions, and their requirements for the convenience of this transaction are also higher.In order to cater to market demand, the emergence of shopping cards, isn't it just a response to this scene?

More importantly, with the reform and opening up becoming more and more enthusiastic, the consumption behavior brought about by economic development is also beginning to change.From the initial market model consumption of limited tickets and parallel currencies, to the current consumption behavior dominated by in-kind subsidies, ordinary people gradually began to use more convenient payment tools represented by bank cards.

In 1985, the Bank of China Card, the first bank card with international standards, was issued in China.

With the emergence of bank cards and the justification of consumption methods, ordinary people have more freedom to choose compared to the previous subsidy in kind with fixed varieties, and it also avoids the trouble of large cash transactions.It is really loved by many people, especially in the Special Economic Zone, where commercial transactions are often required. The emergence of bank cards makes transactions more convenient for everyone, so people who apply for bank cards are flocking to them, and now they are developing rapidly.

Chen Song has a card issued in the special economic zone in his hand, and there is a lot of money on it.

Similar to a bank card, a shopping card naturally has the same function, which is convenient for everyone to trade and consume, and is the first choice for supermarket shopping.

Thinking of this, Chen Song smiled slightly, and finally had some restraint means, so that Andrew would not make moves in a while, and there was not much power to fight back here.

"Eat, eat, what are you thinking about so preoccupied, I called it several times!" Chen Song was still thinking about how to plan for future generations, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Zhou Wanyan who went out and yelled at him.

I saw Zhou Wanyan holding a shovel in his hand, wearing a big red apron, with his little tiger teeth showing between his lips, calling for someone to eat to Chen Song.

"I'm coming."

Seeing Zhou Wanyan's complexion, Chen Song quickly put down his pen, stuffed this page into his arms, and told the supermarket headquarters about it after dinner.

But Chen Song had already noticed that the old man seemed to have something to ask him, and he didn't know if he would bring it up at the dinner table later.
