Super Orchard

Chapter 206 Greeting the New Year

In the commercial center area of ​​the county seat, besides Jinquan Fruit Shop and True Fresh Fruit Shop, there are two other fruit shops.

One of them is an old store that has been in business for more than ten years, and it is also the first fruit store in the county.

Originally, when the Jinquan Orchard fruit shop opened, it attracted a large number of customers in an instant, and the profits of the two fruit shops dropped linearly.

Like that old store, relying on its reputation for more than ten years, there are still many customers coming to the door. Although the profit is much lower than the previous [-] to [-] yuan, it can still earn a few thousand yuan in net profit every month.

Another fruit shop that is playing with tickets is not so lucky. Originally, their business was not as good as this old shop, and they only made a small profit every month. After the opening of Jinquan Fruit Shop, their monthly net profit directly Dropped to zero, has been hovering in the middle of profit and loss.

It's just that the owner of this fruit shop counts his own rent money in the cost. If he doesn't count his front house, he can still earn more. In addition, he has other rent income, so he lives a good life So I don't care if the store makes money or not. Although the fruit store is not profitable, it can still save some money for rent and relieve my boring time.

But this situation has changed since a month ago. In the past month, not only has the fourth fruit shop opened in this palm-sized place, but this real fresh fruit shop has held a huge amount of activity since it opened. , It still lasted for a month and a half!
During this period of time, the life of the original old store and the half-old store has become even more difficult. The business of the two has plummeted again. Because of the large decrease in customers, the old store has also changed from a previous profit to a slight loss. As for the old store It was even worse for the semi-old store, which lost tens of thousands of yuan this month. Even if the front room was used for nothing by my own fruit shop, it was not counted in the cost, and it still lost several thousand yuan this month.

Just when the two of them were about to be unable to hold on, the dawn of hope finally ushered in. It only takes half a month to endure, and the opening activities of the real fresh fruit shop will end, and their days will be over by then. Feel better.

Lu Lu, the owner of the old fruit shop, and Deng, the owner of the semi-old fruit shop, were originally competitors. After the Jinquan Orchard Fruit Shop and Zhenxian Fruit Shop opened successively, the two became close friends who talked about everything. partner.

"Old Li, have you seen the announcement at the entrance of the Fresh Fruit Store? Their activities will be over in half a month."

"Old Dengtou, you have also seen it. Alas, we have finally guarded the clouds and saw the moon. If the Zhenxian Fruit Store continues to do it like this, we will have no way out."

"You're alright, the front house is yours, and you don't have to pay the rent. Unlike me, there are still more than 1 yuan of rent to pay every month, and the loss is even bigger!"

"What do you mean you don't have to pay rent for the front room? Of course, it has to be considered the cost of the store, otherwise why don't I rent out the front room to earn some rent money, so I can relax?"

While the two were happily chatting, they suddenly saw a lot of people gathered around the entrance of the Jinquan fruit shop not far from across the road, looking at the electronic display on the door and saying something.

Lao Li and Lao Deng were also curious, so they walked closer to have a look. They felt as if they were struck by thunder, and they stood dumbfounded in the cold wind.

After a long time, Lao Deng said, "Is there a [-]% discount at the Jinquan Fruit Shop?"

Lao Li said blankly: "Yes, we read correctly."

"They want to start from the day after tomorrow to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"That's right, a total of more than 20 days!"

Lao Deng suddenly wanted to cry. Among the four fruit shops, his family's business has always been the worst. Now that Jinquan Fruit Shop is going to continue to make troubles, how can he bear it?

Although opening this fruit shop by myself is just for fun, and I don't expect to make much money, but at least I have to earn back the rent, right?According to this situation, not to mention that the rent has to be posted inside, I have to pay out every month to maintain the operation of the fruit shop.

Thinking that there are so many fruits in his store that cannot be sold, and that they will be thrown away in large quantities when they start to go bad, Lao Deng couldn't help feeling sad, and murmured: "Old Li, I can't hold on anymore, what about you?" ?”

Lao Li has been running the first fruit shop in the county since he was young. Now more than ten years have passed, and he has changed from a young man to a middle-aged man. He has devoted his whole life to this fruit shop. Sometimes, he won't give up at all.

"I'll stick with it for a while longer. After the promotion of the Jinquan Orchard Fruit Shop is over, both of them will start to operate normally. Let's make a decision based on the actual situation."

Lao Deng thought for a while, nodded his head with difficulty, and said, "Then I will wait and see. If the situation is not good then, we should get out early to reduce losses!"

In the orchard of Hujia Village, in a business suite on the top floor of the resort hotel, Wu Zhennan was sitting on the sofa and listening to Hu Dawei report on the operation of the orchard. Suddenly someone knocked on the door and came in and said, "Master, Ouyang Junjie is here."

Wu Zhennan signaled Hu Dawei to stop temporarily, let Ouyang Junjie come in, and asked with a smile: "Old classmate, why are you here?"

Ouyang Junjie's face was not very good-looking, and he handed a picture taken on the mobile phone to Wu Zhennan, and said: "The promotion of Jinquan Orchard has come out, what kind of promotions are they going to do to welcome the New Year, starting from the day after tomorrow, and continuing Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Wu Zhennan's smile was condensed on his face, and he soon returned to normal. He had already guessed that Jinquan Fruit Shop would do something, so he wasn't too surprised.

After a brief chat, Hu Dawei and Ouyang Junjie left one after another. Wu Zhennan closed his eyes and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

The middle-aged man who had been standing next to Wu Zhennan knew that he was asking himself this matter, so he said: "Their activity is only half of ours, so it can be seen that they don't dare to spend their money to fight us directly, they just want to pass this It’s a way to win back some customers.”

Wu Zhennan frowned and said, "It's strange. According to our previous information, they obviously have 5 billion yuan in funds. How can they wait until now to take action, and the action is so small?"

The middle-aged man next to him seemed to be Wu Zhennan's assistant, as well as his think tank. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "The annual construction cost of their orchard is a lot of money, and I think it has already been spent. In addition, I guess they still can't figure out our hole cards, and they are worried that the family behind us will intervene, so they resorted to this trick to ask for directions and try it out."

This answer is already very close to the truth, and Wu Zhennan also felt that it made sense, and then asked: "Then how should we respond?"

"Wait and see what happens! Let's maintain the opening activities as usual until the seventh day of the first month, and then we will see the actual situation. If they stop losing money, we will continue to increase our chips and fight them to the death. If they are still like this Great, then let's hold some small activities for show, after all, we don't have a lot of money in our hands, and we still have to make some money when it's time to make money."
