Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 238 "237" Baijia Supermarket, today's customers: 0!

a new day,
Causeway Bay, Goose Neck Street Market.

Gooseneck Street is named after the nearby Gooseneck Bridge, which got its name because it spans a canal that is shaped like a goose's neck. The canal disappeared later, but the name remained.

Hundreds of supermarkets were boycotted, causing a large number of residents to rush to this vegetable market to buy vegetables.

In the past, the vegetable market was crowded with stalls and crowded with people.

Today, it is even more popular than in the past, and it can be said that the crowds are surging.

Some customers couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's strange, why are there so many people here buying vegetables today?"

"Today is Monday, how come it's busier than a holiday?"

Soon, a stall owner gave them an answer:
"Because we in Causeway Bay are boycotting hundreds of supermarkets, a large number of supermarket customers no longer go to supermarkets, but go to various wet markets to buy vegetables."

at this time,

Lu Jiayao and his girlfriend A-mi walked in here to buy groceries. Looking inside from the entrance, they saw a huge crowd of people and gasped.

“Hiss~~~There are so many people!”

"It's more lively when there are more people."

Then I met Mao Xiangyang.

"Hey, Brother Mao~~"

“Brother Lu!”

Lu Jiayao and Mao Xiangyang had met on the Millionaire stage and had many conversations with each other, so they could be considered friends.

"Brother Mao, you cook too?" Lu Jiayao asked curiously.

"I know a little." Mao Xiangyang is not very good at cooking. He came to the vegetable market today mainly for investigation.

Yesterday he witnessed with his own eyes the formation of the action to boycott 100 supermarkets. Today he set a goal to first observe several vegetable markets in Causeway Bay, and then go to the 100 supermarkets in Causeway Bay to take a look.

I didn't expect to meet Lu Jiayao by chance.

Mao Xiangyang walked around the Goose Neck Market for 20 minutes, then left and went to several other markets in Causeway Bay...

Like the Goose Neck Market, those markets were also crowded with people and very popular.

When Mao Xiangyang arrived at the entrance of Baijia Supermarket, he saw a dramatic scene.

Two patrol police officers stood at the door of Baijia Supermarket, as if guarding against something.

On the left and right sides, about 10 meters away, there were several elderly people handing out flyers on the street.

"Is it the neighborhood in Causeway Bay?"

"Let's resist together..."

"We can't let Azubai suffer any injustice~~"

Most of the guests were successfully persuaded to leave.

Mao Xiangyang couldn't help but be amazed. This move was too vicious.

And these neighborhoods have so many tricks.

At this time, General Manager Charlie Zhou was standing at the entrance of Baijia Supermarket, cursing angrily.

"Damn old savage!"

"Push to the street!"

"Throw that star~~"

He kept swearing, but he couldn't do anything about those old guys.

When he saw Mao Xiangyang coming over, he hurried over and said enthusiastically: "Sir, welcome, there is a big discount at Baijia Supermarket today..."

As a result, Mao Xiangyang said seriously: "Sorry, I support Brother Zu, I want to boycott you!"

Then he left quickly.

Charlie Zhou: “…………”

At this time, a van stopped and the supermarket employees came back with the promotional boards.

Charlie Zhou felt like he had found a life-saving straw and ran over quickly.

"quick!"

"Set it up immediately!"

"Hold the banner!"

Soon, the signs and banners were put up.

"Big discount!"

"1 Yuan a box of eggs!"

"1 dollar a bag of tissues!"

"1 yuan for a 10-jin bag of rice!"

"1 yuan for a 1000 ml bottle of sesame oil!"

After the signs and banners are ready,
Charlie Zhou suddenly felt confident. It was his boss who was smart enough to come up with this idea.

These neighbors all like to take advantage of others, and he doesn't believe that they won't be tempted.

resist?

Let you resist!

At this moment, the eyes of those old men suddenly lit up after seeing the sign.

“One yuan for a box of eggs? So cheap!”

"Rice, sesame oil, paper towels, all for one dollar..."

"Damn, it's such a good deal, I'd lose out if I don't buy it!"

"But aren't we boycotting?"

"Are you stupid? We can just buy these three discounts, right? He will lose so much money!"

"6!!"

"Just do it!"

then,

These old men ran to Baijia Supermarket, each bought a portion of eggs, rice, oil, and paper towels, and left happily. If each person was not limited to buying only one portion, they would probably have bought everything.

Charlie Zhou was almost mad enough to vomit blood!

Shameless!

But he couldn't help but sell it.

Later, he saw these old men doing something even more shameless. Whenever they met a citizen, they would say "boycott" or "don't buy anything". "But you can buy the products with a 1 yuan discount." "Remember, you must not buy other products."

So, the neighbors passing by ran in and bought eggs, rice, oil and paper towels for one yuan.

After buying it, he left without even looking at other items.

Charlie Chau: “I…”

I was almost having a myocardial infarction from being so angry.

How come these citizens have such poor quality!
At this time, he saw those damn old guys still making phone calls.

"Hey, Afang, there's a 1 yuan discount here. Buy eggs, rice, oil, paper towels... Come over here quickly~~~"

"Hey, A-Cui..."

"Call more people over and buy them all. Make Boss Li die!"

One by one, they called their friends and asked them to call more people over.

Charlie Chau was terrified.

Quickly change the discount rules: "You have to spend more than 50 yuan to get it!"

When the uncles saw this, they cursed: "Fuck, you have to spend at least 50 yuan to buy it?"

They called back and asked their neighbors not to come.

Charlie Zhou: “…………”

Another hour passed...

It's almost noon.

The promotion is useless. Many neighbors are tempted to buy oil, rice, eggs and paper towels for one yuan, but leave immediately when they hear that they have to spend at least 50 yuan to buy them.

Do you understand the value of support rate?
Inside the supermarket, the employees were bored and bored, because there was no customer inside! Not even one!

Charlie Zhou was already numb, so he quickly called to report.

Not long after, he called Boss Li directly and reported the matter.

"Didn't I say that I could buy eggs, oil, rice, and paper towels for 1 yuan?"

"I have already executed it!"

"Why not? I don't believe those old people wouldn't take advantage of this."

"These old guys are just as the boss expected, very greedy, they are so tempted by the 1 yuan items, but they only buy these 1 yuan discounted items, and don't touch other items!"

Boss Li: “…………”

I almost spit out my tea.

Is this okay for riding on a horse?
I underestimated the shamelessness of these people.

Boss Li thought for a while and said, "Then give me a condition. You must buy a certain amount before you can buy these discounted products."

Charlie Zhou: "I also thought the same as my boss, that I could only enjoy these discounts if I spent 50 yuan, but no, they simply didn't want these 1 yuan discount products anymore."

Boss Li: “Then 20 yuan!”

Charlie Chow: “Even 20 yuan is useless!”

This time,

Boss Li felt the situation was difficult.

No, you really boycott?!

He began to rack his brains, trying to find a solution based on his decades of business experience, but he couldn't find a good solution at all...

He looked at the stock market.

Hutchison Whampoa's stock is still very stable. In fact, because it is absorbing individual shares in order to expand Guan Zu's short position, the stock price has risen by 1.2%.

But he knew this was only temporary.

Because the news report hasn't come out yet. If the news report comes out, the stock will definitely plummet.

Thinking of this, he quickly called ATV's Mr. Lin and TVB's Mr. Shao, hoping that they would show leniency in the report.

Shao Daheng agreed, but Lin Daheng refused.

Because Guan Zu had already informed Mr. Lin in advance, and Mr. Lin also invested money to short sell.

How could I miss the opportunity to make a fortune?

……

……

at this time,

Inside the supermarket, an employee was holding a DV camera, secretly recording the empty scene inside the supermarket.

There were several other employees working with him and providing cover.

They are all from Causeway Bay, have all been indirectly taken care of by Kwan O and regard him as an idol.

This time, the elders of their neighborhood found them and asked them to film secretly, and also gave them news fees from ATV. They readily agreed and formed a team to cooperate in the filming.

What is this called?
The people are a vast ocean!

Guan Zu has it all: the right time, the right place, and the right people!

After filming, one person left the supermarket with the DV camera on the pretext of going out for dinner, and then handed the DV to the ATV reporter.

On the other side, some ATV reporters were interviewing residents on the streets of Causeway Bay.

Aying's father was interviewed. ("Woman born in the Year of the Rooster")
Reporter: "Excuse me, fellow resident, I heard that you in Causeway Bay want to boycott 100-store supermarkets. Is that true?"

Ah Ying's father said excitedly, "Of course. If it weren't for Brother Zu, my daughter would have been harmed by those gangsters. Brother Zu not only saved my daughter, but also encouraged her to study hard. Now my daughter's grades are in the top ten in the class, and she can definitely get into college!"

"Brother Zu is our benefactor. He was slandered by Boss Li. Naturally, I have to seek justice for Brother Zu!"

Aying's father's indignant face was clearly captured by the camera.

In addition, one other person was interviewed.

"Thanks to Brother Zu, otherwise my son would have no money to save his life, and even my husband would be addicted to gambling and ruin this family..."

The person being interviewed is Zhong Tianzheng’s wife. (From “Prison on Fire”)
"Brother Zu not only cured my husband's gambling addiction, but also lent money to my son for medical treatment...Brother Zu is my family's benefactor, so I absolutely support this boycott!"

"Brother Zu, come on! We all support you!"

Later, Ling Joey, a well-known model in Hong Kong, also accepted an interview: "Zu Ge has helped me a lot, he is a very good person. Now that Zu Ge has been smeared by the Li family, I naturally want to join the boycott." ("France and China")
"Not only me and my sister, but also many of my neighbors have been taken care of by Brother Zu. We all firmly support Brother Zu!"

There is also the famous "Millionaire" contestant Huang Guantao, who was very sincere during the interview:

"If it weren't for Brother Zu, our entire family would have been destroyed by my brother who is a gambler and a villain. Brother Zu is our family's benefactor. We will firmly support Brother Zu and boycott Baijia Supermarket!" ("On Behalf of the Heaven's Law: Killing Brother")
In addition to these individual interviews, there are also many group interviews.

A tea restaurant,
One by one, diners were interviewed.
"A Zu has done countless things for us in Causeway Bay, so we in Causeway Bay naturally have to support A Zu!"

"If it weren't for Grandpa, my grandson would have become a gangster now. Now he is studying peacefully in school. It was Grandpa who saved my grandson."

"So what if he's the richest man? We're not afraid!"

"Azu, we support you!"

“Boycott 100 Supermarkets!”

Finally, the faces and voices shouting support came together, deafening.

A vegetable market,

The aunties and uncles who were buying groceries were also interviewed.

"We naturally cannot stand seeing that Boss Li slander A-Zu."

"Without A-Zu, the educational environment in Causeway Bay wouldn't be so good. He saved our children..."

"I'm not from Causeway Bay, I'm from Wan Chai, and I've also been taken care of by Zu Ge, he's a very good man."

"Boycott 100 supermarkets, start with me!"

"It's a little troublesome to come here to buy groceries, but A-Zu has done so much for us. This is the only thing we can do to help A-Zu now!"

"Come on, Zu!"

"We support you!"

Under the camera, simple neighbors voiced their support.

……

noon,

ATV News.

"Dear audience friends, good afternoon..."

"Here's the first piece of news..."

"Today, an unprecedented business boycott took place in Causeway Bay."

“The No. 1 supermarket owned by the famous richest man, Mr. Li, has encountered strong resistance from residents of Causeway Bay due to the recent controversy between Mr. Li and Guan Zu.”

"The reporter saw at the scene that the supermarket was deserted, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the past."

"Even 100 Supermarket launched a series of one-yuan discounts, including daily necessities such as eggs, paper towels, rice and sesame oil, which were originally intended to attract customers, but it was useless. Many neighbors said that they would not be attracted by small discounts. They would firmly support Guan Zu and firmly boycott 100 Supermarket."

Then the camera turned and left the Baijia Supermarket.

"For the boycott of 100 supermarkets, our reporters went to Causeway Bay to interview the residents to find out why they wanted to boycott 100 supermarkets."

Then, scenes of interviews with neighbors began to play.

Angry, sincere faces.

One sentence after another: "Guan Zu helped us", "He is our benefactor", "The pride of Causeway Bay", "A Zu, we support you"...

Host: "I believe all viewers can see that in the streets and alleys of Causeway Bay, from tea restaurants to vegetable markets, from residents to vendors, almost everyone has expressed their firm support for Guan Zu and actively participated in the boycott of 100 supermarkets."

"From their words, we can also see what kind of person Guan Zu is. He must be someone who often does good deeds and carries them out to the end. And now, when Guan Zu encounters injustice, they all stand up to seek justice for him."

"Currently, this boycott has already started yesterday..."

"How long will the boycott last? How much will the losses of the hundreds of supermarkets being boycotted be when they have no customers?"

"What will be the final outcome of this storm?"

“ATV News will continue to follow this matter and bring you the latest reports.”
