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

Chapter 411 "410" Guan Zu's decisive move! Business disaster, Boss Li vomits blood!

1 month 28 day,
There are still 2 days left until the Chinese New Year’s Eve on February 3rd.

Five-star supermarket, Harbour City, officially opened!
Kangjia Supermarket, Mong Kok Center, officially opened!
Because of the 2 million red envelopes, the opening of these two supermarkets attracted the attention of all Hong Kong citizens.

8am…

ATV directly dispatched a news helicopter to take aerial photos of the two supermarkets' pre-opening preparations.

ATV first took an aerial photo of Konka Supermarket in Mong Kok Center:
"Dear citizens, you can now take a look at the location of Konka Supermarket..."

A helicopter took a bird's-eye view of the area below, showing a large number of densely packed buildings and a two-lane road.

“It’s located right next to the West Kowloon Corridor and next to the Mong Kok MTR station.”

"Citizens who want to come here to shop, please be careful..."

"If you drive here, you may not be able to find a parking space, or there may be a traffic jam because the traffic conditions are bad..."

"If you are coming here by subway, please be aware that there may be a lot of people at Mong Kok Station, and there may be congestion..."

"In short, Boss Li's red envelopes are there, and there are an estimated 1200 million of them. Don't worry, shopping during off-peak hours is the best option."

"Oh, right, here's a new piece of news. Mr. Li may have been worried about the traffic situation, so he canceled the singer's live show. I hope all Hong Kong citizens will be aware of this."

then,

The ATV News helicopter began to fly towards Harbour City.

"Next, we came to the five-star supermarket in Harbour City..."

“In terms of transportation, there is a mature underground and ground parking system in Harbour City. It is close to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station, so transportation is very convenient…”

"In addition, the Five Star Group has invited the famous singer Wuying to perform live for 2 hours. In addition, Legislative Councillor Liu Hua will also bring his song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to wish all Hong Kong citizens a happy new year in advance..."

"In addition, I would like to inform you of a surprise news from the Five Star Group: the Five Star Supermarket in Central and Western Ring Road is also holding a New Year gift-giving event... There will be 1 million cash red envelopes, and all customers will be given a lucky draw to celebrate the New Year together!"

As soon as this news was broadcast, it once again aroused heated discussions among citizens on the streets.

A group of neighbors are eating breakfast in a tea restaurant in Yau Tsim Mong.

"The location of Kangjia Supermarket is not very convenient. There is no place to park the car, and it is crowded to take the subway. I was thinking of grabbing the red envelopes, but now I am a little hesitant."

"It's better to go to the Five Star Supermarket, with convenient transportation and Wuying singing, which is too exciting!"

“Even if Harbour City is too crowded, you can still go shopping in other shopping malls in Harbour City and enjoy the scenery… If you go to Mong Kok, you may not be able to get out or in.”

Citizens in Yau Tsim Mong, as well as East Kowloon and the New Territories, had the same idea after seeing the news.

"It's too much trouble for us old folks to go to Mong Kok, so let's go to the five-star supermarket over at Harbour City."

"I was looking forward to the red envelope activities of both supermarkets, but the traffic conditions at Kangjia Supermarket were really daunting. In comparison, Five Star Supermarket is simply perfect."

"Five Star Supermarket not only has celebrities supporting it, but also has simultaneous activities in all branches. This is true sincerity and we must support it."

Many families have also begun to replan their shopping plans. Those who originally planned to go to Kangjia Supermarket have turned to Five Star Supermarket.

Residents on Hong Kong Island were a little disappointed that the five-star supermarket in Central and Western District did not receive a billion-dollar subsidy.

But today it was announced that there will be subsidies!
1 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Zu Ge is really warm-hearted and has not forgotten us old supporters.

Brother Zu, be loyal!
……

……

Bang~~~~
Kangjia Supermarket, dispatch center.

Boss Li arrived here early and took charge!
When he saw the TV, his face turned dark.

His face turned dark, not because of ATV's misreporting, but because of himself and his subordinates. Why didn't they consider the traffic problem when choosing the site?
Why did you choose Mong Kok at that time?

Oh, and location advantage!
The middle position radiates more areas.

At that time, they also laughed at Guan Zu for opening a store in Harbour City, saying it was too remote and not close to the city center.

Now, I see,
Hey!
The clown turned out to be himself!
Boss Li couldn't help but think of the Five Star Supermarket in the Central and Western Districts, which was able to withstand such a large flow of customers entirely relying on the surrounding parking spaces, subways, and parking attendants.

At that time, he was only concerned with replicating the Five Star Supermarket, so he did not fully consider the issues of traffic and parking.

“I just hope that nothing goes wrong with today’s opening!”

……

……

At 8 o'clock, one hour before the opening of the Five Star Supermarket, Harbour City was already bustling with activity.

at this time,

In front of the square where the Five Star Supermarket is located, there are red balloon dragons, red flowers, couplets, lanterns everywhere...all kinds of red festive decorations to welcome the Spring Festival, and a sea of ​​flowers.

Citizens came from all directions by subway, bus, and on foot like a tide, filling the square in front of the supermarket.

Families with all the young and old can be seen everywhere, as well as young couples and many elderly neighbors.

Vehicles drove slowly into the parking lot like a long dragon, and under the command of experienced parking attendants, they looked for empty spaces in an orderly manner.

At 8:30, the crowd became increasingly dense. Looking around, it was like a surging sea of ​​people.

As time went by, more and more people gathered.

By 8:50, the place was packed with people and the noise was extremely deafening.

Finally, at 9 o'clock, the Five Star Supermarket officially opened.

“Don’t crowd, enter in an orderly manner~~~~~”

The sound of the horn was particularly loud amid the clamor.

Under the patient guidance of the staff, citizens lined up in neat queues and slowly entered the supermarket.

As soon as people step into the supermarket, they are instantly shocked by its spacious and bright interior environment.

From the high ceiling, bright lights shine down like stars, and the soft light illuminates every shelf and product.

The supermarket is very spacious, and it seems that there is no end at a glance. The shelves are full of goods, including delicacies, daily necessities, fresh food, etc.

All kinds of goods are beautifully packaged and neatly arranged on the shelves.

In one word, pleasing to the eye!
In addition, there is another feature: bright red lanterns are hung everywhere in the supermarket, strings of lanterns hang down from the ceiling, golden blessing stickers are posted on the edges of shelves and walls, and exquisite spring couplets are also cleverly arranged in various areas...

The entire supermarket is immersed in a festive sea of ​​red, allowing all citizens to feel the strong festive atmosphere!
quickly,

At 9:40, the number of customers in the supermarket exceeded 8000.

The supermarket responded quickly and restricted the flow of people outside.

"Dear citizens, I'm very sorry. As the number of customers in the supermarket has reached 8000... I'm very sorry!"

At this time,
In the square outside the supermarket, Wuying finally went on stage and began to sing for the waiting citizens.

During the period, Ahua was invited to sing on stage.

"Congratulations on your wealth and success. Congratulations on your brilliance. The best ones please come over, the bad ones please go away..."

"I wish you all to smile more often, and to irrigate love with all your heart. We will be even better tomorrow...

"Walk proudly, Letian will ward off disasters for you, congratulations on your prosperity, shout loudly enough..."

"Congratulations on your wealth and success! Congratulations on your brilliance!"

The festive songs immediately made all the citizens cheer.

That's right!

Congratulations!

In the new year, I must make a fortune! (To my fellow readers!)
Everyone sang along to the rhythm, and the atmosphere was very lively. In the supermarket, some people couldn't wait to check out and draw red envelopes.

I saw a young mother holding her child's hand and walking towards the lottery area with anticipation on her face. The child was jumping around and shouting excitedly:

"Mom, hurry up and pump!"

Soon my mother took out a red envelope.

"Wow, it's 50 Hong Kong dollars! I'm so lucky!"

The child cheered and clapped his hands.

A white-haired old man next to him also tremblingly drew a red envelope. After opening it, he saw 100 Hong Kong dollars inside. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Good, good, this is a good start for the New Year, really great!"

Some people also won 10 yuan, which was a pity, but when they thought about how this money was free, they became happy again.

The entire lottery area was filled with laughter, making the festive atmosphere in the supermarket even more festive.

Backstage, dispatch center.

Guan Zu, Tan Meili and others have been controlling the entire opening process through monitoring and reporting from various groups.

“So far, this opening has been a success!”

"I don't know what's going on with Boss Li..."

“Hehehe~~~~”

……

……

the other side,
Kangjia Supermarket in the center of Mong Kok was also crowded with people.

At 8:20, the surrounding roads were already blocked by vehicles. The two-lane road was jammed with drivers honking their horns.

"There's a mess ahead, drive forward quickly!"

The MTR "Mong Kok Station" was also crowded, with people huddled in the narrow passages and platforms. People were struggling to move through the crowd, trying to get to the supermarket.

"Fuck the street, I shouldn't have come if I had known!"

"awful!"

"For this red envelope, I almost lost my life!"

As time went by, the traffic situation worsened.

By 9 o'clock, the traffic jam was already 1 kilometer long, and the vehicles were like giant beasts stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.

Poor guy Chen Jiaju, who was working as a traffic policeman, was very busy at the scene, blowing the whistle constantly, trying to direct traffic, but the traffic was so congested that it was useless even if the police came.

Many traffic police, patrol police, and PTU police began to curse in their hearts.

Boss Li, fuck you!

Inexperienced parking attendants (unmanned employees) shuttle through the chaos, looking for a gap to park, which often causes more chaos and quarrels.

Finally, Kangjia Supermarket opened.

"Opened, opened!"

The long-awaited crowd poured into the supermarket like a flood.

After entering the supermarket, people found that the interior decoration of the supermarket was high-end and bright, the goods were neatly displayed, various kinds of goods were placed in a staggered manner, and there were all kinds of festive lanterns... Spring Festival decorations...

It really has the outstanding performance of a five-star supermarket with nine points!

"Not bad!"

“It was not in vain!”

"Ok, Ok!"

By 9:40, the place was full and the supermarket started to restrict the flow of people like the Five Star Supermarket.

"Dear citizens, we are very sorry... In order to ensure everyone's safety and shopping experience, we have temporarily stopped new customers from entering. We are very sorry for the unpleasant experience brought to the citizens!"

"Our supermarket has prepared enough fruit juice. Please wait patiently..."

As soon as the advertisement came out,
Everyone expressed their understanding...well, they understood it for now!
But after a while, they became impatient.

why?
so boring!

After all, they were standing in a crowded place, and there were no singers singing to entertain them like in a five-star supermarket.

The longer it goes, the more impatient they become.

"Damn it, when can I go in?"

"I want to draw a red envelope!"

"Fuck, I don't even want this red envelope!"

"I want to go back, I want to go back!"

"Go back? Go back, the whole place is blocked!"

All the waiting citizens began to become irritable and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

In the supermarket,
There was also confusion.

Because the various preferential regulations for the HK$1 million had too many rules, it was troublesome for employees to handle them, and trouble meant a lot of time wasted...

This is not the time when there were large computer computing centers like Ali and Adong in later generations to process data.

All are manual operations.

It would be fine if there weren't many people at ordinary times, but now that there are so many people, trouble has arisen.

"What the hell! I've been waiting in line for 20 minutes and I still haven't paid!"

"What are you doing? If you don't know how to offer discounts, then don't do it. You're wasting everyone's time!"

"Yes, it's a waste of everyone's time!"

"Hurry up, I don't want your damn discount anymore, I just want to win the red envelope!"

The staff was scolded and cried.

"sorry Sorry!"

"We're as fast as we can!"

"Hurry up, you char siu!"

"sorry Sorry……"

The entire cash register system collapsed.

It's only been less than an hour since we opened, and there are still 12 hours left today!

What to do?
Dispatch Center,

Boss Li, who was in charge, received messages from the staff maintaining order outside the supermarket, the parking team, and the cashier team...

There are too many people and all links have collapsed!

Boss Li: I feel numb!
