Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 303 Someone cuts your wires

Qin Hao is not too worried about the success of the supermarket. He has the financial strength and supply channels.

If it succeeds now, it will be an extra source of income, and if it fails, it won’t be a loss.

The most important thing is to be the first, the first to open a supermarket in the county, the first to open a clothing store in the county.

You can use this to blow it up in the future.

After several days of preparation, the supermarket finally opened, opposite the Meiling Building, and was called Meiling Chain Supermarket.

As for why it is called a chain, of course it is because they want to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

"I will go up to heaven and say a few words later. Let the host get ready." Qin Hao instructed Zhang He beside him.

I hadn't planned to do this originally, but with so many people coming to the opening today, I have to show up, right?
"Okay, I'll go tell him right away." Zhang He immediately went to find the host.

There are singers singing on the stage now. He will go on stage after they finish singing.

Qin Hao was very satisfied as he watched more and more people gather around him. Most of the people came just to watch the show, and it was very costly to spend money.

Everyone likes free programs, but if you want to take money out of their pockets, that’s definitely not possible.

Even though the clothes are selling fast, that’s because city dwellers only care about what they wear now that they have enough to eat.

The things in this supermarket are not necessarily acceptable. Unless they are sold cheaper than those in the market, no one will buy them.

"Next, our boss of Meiling supermarket chain, Qin Hao, will say a few words to everyone. Please give him a round of applause!" The host was quite professional and gave him a round of applause.

The people below are not supportive, and some are even dissatisfied.

"What are you talking about? Let's have someone sing Errenzhuan."

"That's right, we are here to listen to the Errenzhuan singing, who would listen to him talking."

Qin Hao automatically blocked out this discordant voice.

He went on stage and cleared his throat. "Hello, fellow villagers. My name is Qin Hao. I am the owner of the Meiling supermarket chain and also the owner of the Meiling Building across the street."

"I am very happy to be able to do business in the county and be welcomed and supported by everyone."

"Today is the opening day of the supermarket. On behalf of all our employees, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone!"

"Anyone who buys something in the store will receive a small fan, no matter how much money is spent! There will be a lucky draw once you spend 18 yuan. You can look at the specific prizes next to it."

"Next, I will continue to perform for everyone. Thank you!"

It’s autumn already, and you’re just giving me a small fan now.

But if you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, wouldn't you be a fool?

When everyone heard that they would give a fan for free if they bought something, then wouldn't it be fine to buy a bag of salt or soy sauce or something?

So basically everyone goes in to take a look and buy some things for a few cents, including fans, which is great.

Qin Hao smiled as he looked at the large boxes of fans. These were small round fans ordered from Hyundai, with promotional photos and addresses of Meiling Supermarket and Meiling Building printed on them.

This is an advertisement, but others don’t care. As long as it can fan the air, it’s fine. What’s more, this fan is stronger and more durable than paper ones.

“Why is their store printed on this?”

"Who cares? This thing looks pretty solid. It should last for a few years!"

Many people have seen it, but more people share the idea expressed by the latter person: as long as it is sturdy and durable, it’s fine, not to mention that it’s free!

Qin Hao didn't have any thoughts when he heard their discussions. What he wasn't worried about now was today's turnover.

There are a lot of things on sale today, including eggs, watermelons, and some daily necessities, including toothbrushes, all of which are sold at half price.

So it sold out very quickly, and all the things that took two days to prepare were sold out in no time.

"Boss, we need to add more inventory. They are almost sold out now." Zhang He came over in a hurry to report.

No one expected such a popular situation, because supermarkets are new here and people just came to look around and bought some things.

If you buy it, I will buy it too. It will be sold out soon, right?
In fact, doing business is like this. We are not afraid of making money from the products, but we are afraid of people not coming. As long as people come, we can sell some products.

"I understand. I'll call the supplier and you'll be responsible for the contact from now on." Qin Hao didn't intend to take care of everything himself.

"Okay, boss." Zhang He nodded, feeling even more excited.

This is preparing to reuse him!

It is actually very difficult for someone like him who has no academic qualifications and no special skills to find a good job.

Fortunately, he followed a good boss!

Qin Hao came out of the office at five o'clock in the afternoon. There were still a lot of people there, but there were not many things on the shelves.

For example, a batch of bed sheets and quilt covers he bought from a textile factory were sold out immediately because the price was more affordable than buying fabrics and making them himself, and there were no scraps of fabric left.

"Boss, what time do we close?" Zhang He was tired after a whole day. He asked not because he was tired, but because there were not many things left. Basically, no one bought anything. Most people just looked and left.

Qin Hao glanced at the clock and said, "Get off work at six, every day. Go to work at 6:30 in the morning and open at 7. Let the tally workers come to work earlier or leave work later, and give them overtime pay."

Most of the shelves are empty, and goods will be delivered tomorrow morning, so overtime is unavoidable.

We can't just count the goods when we open for business, right? That would be a waste of time.

Zhang He nodded and went to explain immediately.

There is an administrator on each floor, which makes management more convenient. He just needs to talk to the administrator.

Qin Hao and others went to count the accounts after get off work at around 6 o'clock. They sold more than 6,000 yuan today. Compared with clothing, the supermarket's turnover was too small and the profit was not high.

He can earn 2,000 yuan out of 6,000 yuan, excluding the store rent, costs, and labor costs.

This profit is already very good, but it seems not much compared to the investment cost.

Especially since we opened today, this is not possible every day.

The next day, there was still a lucky draw, and a small fan was given away for entering the store. There were still a lot of people, but the sales were not as much as the first day.

Zhang He was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He was more serious and responsible than Qin Hao.

"Boss, is this okay? I think the flow is not as high as yesterday morning."

It’s only been one morning, but the gap is too big.

Qin Hao replied calmly: "Don't worry, just let it go as it should. It's no use worrying."

That's how business works. How can so many people support you? You have to learn to get used to the ups and downs.

Zhang He obviously lacks work experience, which is understandable. After all, he started working in Meiling Building, and his daily turnover was at most tens of thousands, how could it be as low as here.

So Qin Hao didn't try to persuade him, and just told him to improve his mentality.

Zhang He is not like others. He gets paid whether the boss makes money or not. It has nothing to do with him.

He didn't think that way. He was thinking about how to increase sales and find out the problems.

This is also the reason why Qin Hao hired him, knowing that being motivated is a good thing. If he is lying flat, where can he make money?
The matter of the Meiling chain supermarket has come to an end. Qin Hao handed over the business to Zhang He and returned to Qinjiabaozi.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw many people standing in front of the garment factory. It was just after two in the afternoon, how could there be so many people? He drove closer and everyone made way for him.

Only the person in the middle of the road didn't give way. Upon closer inspection, wasn't that Qin Bin?

"What are you doing?" Qin Hao lowered the car window and looked at him.

Qin Bin sneered, "Did I influence you on the Dao? Is this your family's Dao? Is it what you cultivate?"

After saying this, the scene became a little awkward for a moment, and everyone looked at each other.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Yes, I paid for the repair of the road, do you have any objection?"

"Or is it that my road construction has made your travel inconvenient? Do you want to talk to me about it?"

Qin Bin was stunned by these words. When he saw the road being repaired in the village, he thought it was paid for by the town. He didn't expect it was Qin Hao?

He definitely didn't believe it, so he turned around to ask other people, but everyone had a puzzled look on their faces, which made him unsure for a moment.

"What are you looking at? I repaired it. If you have something to say, just tell me. If not, just go away." Qin Hao was too lazy to put on a show with such people.

I wanted to take him with me to steal wires before, but you said this guy has no good intentions.

Hearing this, Qin Bin's face suddenly darkened. He had always looked down on Qin Hao, but when he heard that a clothing factory had been opened, he came to take a look.

He didn't expect that the garment factory was indeed run by someone else and was quite busy. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Qin Hao living a good life is more painful than letting him die!

They grew up together, and neither of them is a good person. Why is he living such a bad life while Qin Hao is so powerful?
“Qin Hao!” Li Meiling shouted from the gate, “I don’t know who cut our electrical wires! What a wicked thing that makes smoke!”

Zhao Laoliu nodded and said, "Yes, your wires were cut, but the garment factory was dark. There were only a few people working by the window, and no one else could see."

While speaking, he kept staring at Qin Bin.

This guy is so bad, it must be him who did it, no need to think too much.

Qin Hao also figured it out and drove straight over without trying to hide from Qin Bin.

Qin Bin was startled by his sudden movement and ran away quickly, almost falling down.

"Are you crazy! You want Amomum villosum?" He pointed at Qin Hao angrily.

Qin Hao got out of the car, closed the door, and walked straight towards him. "Do you think I'm easy to talk to? Do you think I should stop you if you want to die? Who do you think you are? What kind of person are you?"

He asked four questions in a row, which confused the person on the other end.

Qin Bin came to his senses immediately. He came here to cause trouble today, so how could he be scared by anyone?
"Didn't you make money? We are cousins, lend me ten thousand for emergency." He smiled wryly.

It's really a big ask. Who would lend me 10,000 yuan for an emergency? Nowadays, you have to think carefully before borrowing a few dollars.

Qin Hao sneered: "You treat me as charity? You even ask me to lend you money? I don't have any!"

After he finished speaking, he waved to Zhao Laoliu and said, "Go and check the wires with your sister-in-law to see where the problem is. Call the people in town."

Without electricity, their production will be delayed. Some people need to work overtime at night. Delaying production means delaying making money.

Zhao Laoliu nodded and immediately followed Li Meiling to check the lines.

They don't have the tools and can't repair it on their own, and if something goes wrong, no one can take responsibility.

Power outages are commonplace these days. If the problem is fixed here and there happens to be a power outage, will others think it is their problem?

This interpersonal relationship is the most difficult to handle, and he finds it very troublesome anyway.

As for who was the one who cut off the power, Qin Hao looked at Qin Bin and knew it.

At present, apart from the three brothers of the Qin family, there is no one in the Qin family's fort who openly opposes their family.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Bin glared, and his previous hooligan attitude came back.

Qin Hao didn't bother to touch him, raised his chin and replied: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Would you like to try another one?"

"I'm just staring at you, so what? If you're afraid of being stared at, go home and stop complaining here."

Having said this, Qin Bin's temper flared up and he rushed over to hit someone.

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that this man would start fighting as soon as he said so.

Qin Hao was not afraid of him. When someone rushed over, he gave him a straight kick, which made people feel tight in their hearts.

Qin Bin groaned and took several steps back, looking up at him in shock. He didn't expect that Qin Hao, a coward, would dare to do it?
In fact, Qin Hao was also puzzled. He was obviously half a head taller than the opponents and would not lose in terms of strength. The worst that could happen in a fight would be that both sides would suffer injuries. Why was he afraid of them in his previous life?

"How dare you hit me!" Qin Bin came to his senses and rushed over like a madman.

But it was obvious that he was no match for Qin Hao, and he subdued him in just two moves.

Qin Bin was very stubborn. He lay on the ground and stared at Qin Hao without saying a word of surrender.

"Oh come on stop fighting, you two are cousins, it's not good to fight like this."

"You're quite willing to be a good person. Qin Bin is obviously looking for trouble. How can't you see that?"

"Say less, all of you are just watching the fun and making trouble!"

The people around were talking about it, and no one could stop the fight.

Qin Hao kicked the man out and said, "If you still want to go in and step on the sewing machine, then come on. You come here to cause trouble when you have nothing to do, okay?"

He didn't mind sending it again. It was he who exposed them with the anonymous letter last time, so why not do it again?

As for whether it would be dishonest to do something behind someone's back? Qin Hao didn't care about that, as long as he felt comfortable.

"Brother Hao, I called the town and they said they'll be here soon." Zhao Laoliu was still puzzled when he came out. Normally, the people at the power supply station would not be so proactive.

We'll talk about it when we have time. As for when we will have time, I don't know.

But this time it’s different…

Qin Hao nodded, then glanced at the person on the ground and turned to go into the house.

Zhao Laoliu understood what was going on by looking at his actions, and walked over to pull the man up.

"Qin Bin, you finally came home, what are you still looking for? Just live a good life. My aunt in your family can rely on you, how can they care about your aunt when you are not at home?"

It seems like he is trying to persuade Qin Bin with all his heart, but in fact he is just trying to please Qin Bin.

But he was right, both sons wanted to take more advantage and no one wanted to take less.

Qin Bin looked at him gloomily, then turned and left.

As for whether he listened to this or not, I don’t know.

After Qin Hao returned to the house, Li Meiling came out with a candle. Although it was not dark yet, it would be difficult to look for her after dark.

"Are you two fighting?" She just heard Qin Bin's screams.

This kind of person deserves to be punished. Regardless of whether he was the one who cut off the electricity or not, he is not a good person!
