On Saturday morning, Chen Taitong, dressed in a dark red Tang suit, stood at the door of the store with a smile on his face, welcoming customers in person. Behind him, the employees were also wearing new clothes and ribbons, lined up with wild goose wings. A bright red carpet runs from the sidewalk into the store.
Today is the first day of the 50% off promotion, and the stores are decorated with lights and festivities, just like Chinese New Year. Last night, he canceled the vacation of all employees, and promised to give double commission for every pet sold during the 50% discount promotion period. When the employees heard this, it was a good thing, and they were all beaming and gearing up, ready to do a big job today.
This is the advantage of the franchise store. If the directly-operated store wants to engage in big promotions, it must report to the regional manager for approval, and the daily operation of the franchise store is in its own hands.
Chen Taitong not only wants to use this battle to completely defeat Qiyuan Pet Shop, but also AOE the other pet shops in Dongcheng District by the way. He has already mentally prepared himself for a temporary loss, and he is reluctant to let the child not be a wolf. As long as it can crush other stores, don’t you want to set the price as you want in the future? You can earn back what you lose.
Fanxing's unified procurement and distribution system is his source of confidence. Compared with the purchase price, those scattered pet stores can't compare at all.
However, as the sun rose higher and higher, his face became more and more ugly.
Before the customers came to the door, the old Lai who stood opposite the shop all day and made troubles got together first. Those people hold signs all day long saying that his shop sells pets as shoddy and demand compensation and apology from him. Isn’t this Lao Lai
Chen Taitong made up his mind never to compromise with them. Why should I compensate you for the money I earned by my ability
The old Lai obviously also heard the news, knowing that this store is going to have a big sale today, so they came here to make trouble, the number of people is at least double that of usual! Luckily, most of them came here by car with their families, old and young, mineral water and instant noodles, and some even brought speakers—the kind of sonic weapons of mass destruction specially used for square dance accompaniment.
The moment Chen Taitong saw the speaker, his face turned pale.
"Bring the phone! I'm calling the police!" he yelled.
"Boss, isn't there the police over there?" A clever employee pointed to the shade of a tree not far away and said.
Usually there is one police car parked there, but today there are two. The police probably also heard the wind and came in advance to prevent violent conflicts.
Chen Tai was so angry that his hands trembled and he became dizzy, but there was nothing he could do. He suddenly turned his head and said, "Go! Go to other shops nearby to borrow tweeters. I don't believe I can't deal with them!"
The employees dispersed at the sound and ran to other stores they knew well to borrow amplifiers and speakers. The shopkeepers and employees of other shops saw the situation and stopped doing business at all. Today was a day off to watch the excitement, and there were not a few people who took pictures and videos and sent meager comments.
At around 9:30, the first unidentified customer finally came to the door.
Almost at the same time, the speaker on the opposite side was turned on, and a huge sound wave came like a tsunami: "Fanxing pet supermarket chain employs forum trolls to make false propaganda, deceive customers, sell us pets with health problems, and sell us pets with health problems. Refuse to compensate for the medical expenses incurred as a result! Everyone, please keep your eyes open, don’t be deceived! If you want to buy pets, you’d better go to other stores to buy them, and don’t let profiteers succeed!”
The person holding the microphone was a middle-aged man with a full of air, while others held up homemade wooden signs with various slogans written on them. There are also wooden signs with enlarged photos of pets and diagnosis reports from pet hospitals, which can be described as shocking.
The first customer was stunned before entering the door, looked back and planned to leave. Chen Taitong couldn't care about anything else, grabbed the customer's arm, raised the loudspeaker and shouted: "Don't trust them! Those people are sent by competitors to discredit our store! Our store has always had a good reputation. You are not deceiving! Fanxing is a big company and would never do such a thing!"
Why are you hooting your horn? Because you can't hear it without a speaker!
The customer's face changed, he didn't listen to his explanation at all, shook off his hand, and walked away without looking back, and Chen Taitong also found that the direction he was walking seemed to be the direction of Qiyuan Pet Store...
Now the excitement is getting bigger!
What day is today? It's Saturday, and it's Saturday morning! Many students and office workers who have worked hard for a whole week finally have the opportunity to catch up on sleep, how can they stand the toss of these two waves of people? The number of complaint calls to the 110 alarm center has skyrocketed. Many people don't care who is right and who is wrong, and call the police directly from the bed to say that someone is disturbing the people.
No need to wait for the 110 Command Center to report these complaints to the police on duty. The policemen in the two police cars on the scene immediately started to act. Half of them went to stop Chen Taitong and the others, and the other half went to stop the people on the opposite side. In short, you can stay here. But speakers and loudspeakers cannot be used to disturb the people, otherwise they will be punished by law and order.
After playing 50 boards each, the two waves of people temporarily died down.
After a while, the third police car also arrived at the scene for reinforcements, and simply stopped on the side of the road between the two groups of people.
In fact, this result is beneficial to Chen Taitong, at least returning to the initial state of silent confrontation. However, the police's perception of him was very unfavorable, and he could only pretend that he didn't know.
It was ten o'clock soon, and there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
A couple strolled to the door of the store, and Chen Taitong and the staff piled up smiling faces, "Welcome! Please come in! Today, the whole store is 50% off! There will be a mysterious gift for shopping over a certain amount! Take home the cute cat and puppy Bar!"
"Really? Great! Let's go in and have a look!" The couple entered the store.
A few minutes later, another middle-aged woman who looked like a housewife also entered the store.
It was almost noon, and more customers came, and there were even groups of friends and friends. The popularity of the store had never been so high!
Chen Taitong was secretly proud, did you see that? In front of the price, everything is not a problem!
He even regretted that he hadn't thought of this idea earlier, otherwise, why would there be a navy, and why would there be a Qiyuan pet shop
He showed a contemptuous smile to the old Lai across the road, you make trouble, protest, what's the use? What a waste of effort! A group of lo, losers!
Just when he was full of ambition, a sales guide in the store ran out panting.
"Old, boss..."
Chen Taitong smiled slightly, "How is it? How is the sales? Remember, if there is a sign of a shortage, immediately call the purchasing supervisor Qian Fang and ask her to send another batch of pets."
"No, it's not... Well, boss, you'd better go in and see for yourself..." the shopping guide said with a bitter face, "The scene can't hold anymore!"
