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

Chapter 783 "782" Little Li: I'm here to infiltrate, not to carry rice!

Guan Zu looked at these people with a kind gaze, filled with high hopes:
"In China, there has always been a tradition of going down to the grassroots level."

"For example, in ancient times, emperors would go to the fields to plant rice seedlings as a sign of respect for agriculture."

"Six months! You need to spend six months working at the grassroots level!"

"I believe you will have undergone a transformation in six months!"

Everyone was on the verge of tears!
Jordan Balfour: "Boss...we..."

Guan Zu waved his hand, interrupting Jordan Belfort: "Don't get excited, this is what I expect of you..."

Jordan Belfort and the others: "…………"

We're not excited!

We just don't want to work at the grassroots level!

The storm is crying.

Guan Zu appeared friendly on the surface, but he was secretly laughing inside.

You undercover agents can't escape now, so you'd better stay here and work like slaves at the grassroots level!

Guan Zu then went to the finance department and several other departments to check their loyalty.

List all those with low loyalty.

If someone is talented, send them to work at the grassroots level.

If someone isn't talented, fire them, beat them up, send them to Mingxin Hospital for medication—a one-stop service.

Tell me, aren't you moved?

come back to the office,
Wu Lianqian reported to Guan Zu:

"Brother Zu, in five days, our Five Star Supermarket in Luohu will officially open..."

"Shenzhen leaders have invited you to cut the ribbon."

Guan Zu: "Okay."

……

……

"How many flights of stairs can you carry a bag of rice up?"

"Spicy Tiansen!"

The June sun was scorching, as if it were seeking revenge on humanity for its nine brothers.

at this time,

Jordan Belfort was carrying a bag of rice to an old woman from the first floor to the eighth floor.

The bag of rice was heavy, like a boulder pressing on his shoulder.

He was panting heavily.

Sweat dripped continuously.

After finally reaching the 8th floor, Jordan Belfort carried the rice bag into the building and gently placed it in the old lady's living room.

The old woman was full of gratitude: "Young man, thank you so much."

Jordan Belfort didn't quite understand, so he forced a smile and waved.

He came downstairs quickly.

Looking up at the sun in the sky, I felt utterly hopeless.

I want to work in finance!

I didn't come here to carry rice!

He has been working at Five Star Property Management for three days now, and he does mostly mundane tasks every day.

He's a guy corrupted by money; when has he ever done this kind of labor reform? He's completely unaccustomed to it.

He was numb.

If it weren't for the millions in breach of contract fees, he probably would have already run away.

……

……

Landmark, Soros Fund Management.

The air conditioning was blasting in Rodney Jones's office, but it couldn't mask his inner turmoil.

Bang~~~
"Fuck! fuck! fuck!"

He roared three times!

According to his plan, those finance and accounting graduates recruited from the United States were supposed to enter the core departments of the Five Star Group headquarters.

The results of it?
They've all become "community property management specialists," "shopping mall operations assistants," and "construction site coordinators."

"Why is this happening!"

He grabbed the internal phone, suppressing his anger, and called his assistant in.

When the secretary pushed the door open and came in.

Rodney Jones: "Go look into why the elites we recruited from Wall Street are ending up sweeping apartment building hallways, carrying rice for people, or arranging shelves in department stores."

"Is this a joke?!"

The assistant quickly replied, "Mr. Jones, according to the information sent back from the undercover team, this batch of new recruits has been included in the 'Talent Reserve Program.' It is said that this is required by Guan Zu; top talents must first take root at the grassroots level and gain a deep understanding of people's hardships in order to truly align with the Five Star Group's corporate vision."

"The people's suffering?"

Jones was a bit irritable.

"Our goal is to obtain high-level intelligence such as the board resolutions of the Five Star Group and the flow of project funds, not to have them do these trivial, grassroots tasks!"

"Has Guan Zu lost his mind? Why is he wasting such a talented student's potential?"

The assistant said, "There's one more thing. According to the undercover agent's report, they'll be working at the grassroots level for six months."

"Half a year?"

Jones felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

The assistant asked cautiously, "So...should we have them apply for a transfer in advance? Or try to create an opportunity?"

Rodney sighed, "That's all we can do. Let's see if we can help them perform better and get promoted as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The assistant left.

Rodney sat back down in his chair, irritably loosening his tie.

……

Shenzhen Railway Station.

"Mr. Guan, welcome, welcome!"

"Mr. Li, thank you for your trouble..."

Guan Zu has come to Shenzhen once again.

In November 1994, after Guan Zu said, "Go to the mainland, there is a vast world there, and there is much to be done," Shenzhen leaders visited Guan Zu and invited him to build a Five Star supermarket there.

Guan Zu initially set his sights on Futian District, intending to develop a commercial and residential integrated business district model.

Later, after repeated invitations from Shenzhen leaders, Guan Zu opened a Five Star Supermarket in Luohu.

This Five Star Supermarket is located next to the China World Trade Center, replacing the original King Glory Plaza.

Now a year and a half has passed.
Given Shenzhen's rapid development pace, this five-star supermarket has already been completed and is ready to open.

As promised by Guan Zu at the time, 90% of the employees were recruited from Shenzhen citizens.

Ding Hu's eyes darted around warily.

"Brother Tiger?"

Suddenly, a shout interrupted Ding Hu's wary gaze.

Ding Hu felt the voice was very familiar. He turned around and saw a familiar person among the bodyguards behind Mr. Li.

In that instant, Ding Hu seemed to be frozen in place.

Ding Hu would never mistake that figure, that expression, even if it was just a profile view.

"Hill?"

Ding Hu's eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.

"Brother Tiger, it really is you!" The usually aloof Xiaoshan was incredibly excited.

Neither of them expected to meet again in such a setting.

Mr. Guan Zuhe noticed the commotion, stopped talking, and cast a curious glance at them.

Ding Hu quickly said, "Brother Zu, this is my former comrade-in-arms, Xiao Shan." Xiao Shan quickly replied, "Brother Hu is my squad leader."

Guan Zu smiled at Xiao Shan, who had a square face and a cold demeanor, and said, "Hello."

Mr. Li was also a little surprised, not expecting that his bodyguard would know Guan Zu's bodyguard.

However, the occasion was inappropriate, so neither of them said much and could only exchange glances.

quickly,

Both parties got into the cars, and the convoy headed towards the Fulim Hotel.

(Photo: Fulim Hotel)
This hotel is currently the most luxurious hotel in Shenzhen. It was built and opened in 1990. It is located next to Luohu Port and Shenzhen Railway Station, and faces Hong Kong across the sea. It enjoys a unique geographical location.

In the car, Mr. Li and Guan Zu chatted about the progress in Futian.

We arrived at the hotel after only a few words.

Check in.

Just as Guan Zu checked in, Mr. Li asked his bodyguard, Xiao Shan, curiously, "Were you comrades-in-arms before? Where is he from?"

Xiao Shan said, "Brother Hu is from Northeast China. I heard he used to be a bodyguard for a high-ranking leader, but then I heard he got old and retired. I never expected him to end up in Hong Kong."

That's all I wanted to say.

Mr. Li thought for a moment and heard that Guan Zu already had a bodyguard in Hai Zi Li, and now there was another one, Ding Hu.

Hard! Tall and hard!

……

the next day,
Sunlight shines on the land of Shenzhen.

10 o'clock in the morning,
The Five Star Supermarket next to the Luohu International Trade Building was bustling with people.

News of the opening of Five Star Supermarket had already spread like wildfire among the people of Shenzhen, and people flocked from all corners of the city with curiosity and anticipation.

They all watch ATV and TVB, and often see scenes of Five Star Supermarket on TV. They have long been attracted by Five Star Supermarket's huge space, dazzling array of goods, children's playground, and service attitude.

advertise?

They've been listening to those ads for years.

Therefore, when Shenzhen TV and Guangdong TV broadcast the news that Five Star Supermarket was going to open in Luohu, a large number of citizens came to join in the excitement.

Even before the official opening time, the supermarket entrance was already packed with people, making the surrounding roads completely congested.

Police have implemented traffic control measures.

"Oh my god, there are so many people~~~"

"I've never seen anything so lively before~~~"

The police officers were all speechless.

The citizens were even happier to see such a lively scene.

People just love to join in the fun.

At this moment, on the stage set up in front of the supermarket, the cheerful sound of gongs and drums was deafening, and the lion dance team dressed in bright costumes tumbled up and down, while applause and cheers from the audience mingled together.

The sound soared straight into the sky.

Then Guan Zu took the stage to speak.

"Good morning, friends in Shenzhen..."

"My name is Guan Zu, chairman of the Five Star Group..."

"Shenzhen is a city that embraces dreams and develops rapidly... Five Star Supermarket is willing to be a strong support for everyone, continuously introducing high-quality products and optimizing the shopping experience through a wide variety of goods and affordable prices..."

"At the same time, I solemnly promise that, starting today, Five Star (Luohu) Supermarket will allocate 20% of its annual profits to our specially established foundation. This fund will be used without reservation for poverty alleviation and to strongly support education and healthcare..."

not far away,
The Walmart executives, dressed in suits, stood on the street, looking at the crowded Five Star supermarket with somewhat grim expressions.

At this time, Walmart was already the largest supermarket chain in the United States.

It also recognized the enormous consumption potential of the University of Tokyo's 10 billion residents, so it came to establish a supermarket there.

Shenzhen was their first stop.

A year and a half earlier than Five Star Supermarket, they found a location on Donghu Road in Luohu District to build a Walmart supermarket.

It was expected to officially open in two months, in August 1996.

As a result, before anyone knew it, Five Star Supermarket opened first!
The good news is: this five-star supermarket is incredibly popular! Judging by the customer traffic, their initial estimates were far too conservative. This shows that the potential for opening a supermarket is enormous.

The bad news is: someone beat me to it!

The worse news is that they are only 3 kilometers away from the Five Star Group!

The overwhelming success of Five Star Supermarket upon its opening will undoubtedly attract a large number of potential customers, posing a significant challenge to Walmart's opening.

And then there's the worst news: Five Star Group is going to donate 20% of its profits. Should Walmart follow suit? If they do, they'll lose 20% of their profits. If they don't, what will the citizens of Shenzhen think?
fuck!

The foreign executives are having a splitting headache!

"Do you think Five Star Supermarket's large supermarket model will work in Shenzhen?"

"do not know."

Everyone looked worried again.

They visited the Five Star Supermarket on Hong Kong Island, which is larger, wider, and has even more outrageous service than Walmart.

They discussed at the time whether they should imitate the Walmart in Shenzhen.

Ultimately, it was rejected by the United States.

Walmart's success in the United States proves that the American model is sound. And American pride makes them believe that it's impossible for Dongda University to develop anything more advanced than Walmart.

Therefore, under the arrogant orders of its US headquarters, Walmart in Donghu, Shenzhen, continued to follow the experience of Walmart in the United States without making any changes.

"Splash splash splash splash~~~"

Just then, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd.

After Guan Zu finished speaking, the entire audience gave him a warm round of applause.

Mr. Li then took the stage as a city leader to speak.

Then came the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"I hereby announce... Five Star Supermarket is officially open!!"

The supermarket doors officially opened.

The crowd erupted in cheers and surged forward like a tidal wave.

quickly,

Citizens were attracted by the spacious, huge, and bright space of the Five Star Supermarket, and the dazzling array of neatly arranged goods.

really!

It's exactly the same as the Five Star Supermarket on Hong Kong Island that I saw on TV.

Super huge!

Absolutely gorgeous!
There's also a huge children's playground!

From the fresh and tempting fruits and vegetables section, to the wide variety of daily necessities, and then to the trendy and fashionable clothing section...

Neat and tidy!

Pleasant to watch!

The vegetables in the vegetable section are so fresh and juicy!

In the fresh food section, there are lively fish and shrimp, and fresh pork, beef and lamb.

The daily necessities section offers a variety of high-quality shampoos, shower gels, and skincare products from both mainland China and imported brands.

Shenzhen residents have already seen the quality of Five Star Supermarket on TVB and ATV, and it has become deeply ingrained in their minds.

The quality is absolutely reliable.

Buy boldly!
There's also a "money-back guarantee" service.

There is also free drinking water and snacks.

Childcare services in the children's play area.

at this time,

The Walmart executives, mostly foreigners, also went into the Five Star Supermarket. They were impressed by the enthusiastic service, the positive reviews from customers, and the even more upscale decor than Walmart's…

The foreign executives are feeling a bit desperate.

Can we really win?
Five-Star Supermarket, what a rip-off!!
