Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 33 Two Schools Ablaze, Money Flows Like a Tide

Many people come to Boya Supermarket and not only buy winter melons, but also snacks and other items to take home!

This resulted in Boya Supermarket's other revenues exceeding those of previous years.

Seeing that Boya Supermarket was getting on track and there was surveillance, Wang Junshan simply handed it over to Lu Xiaoyu and Wu Ping to manage.

Meanwhile, Wang Junshan drove Lu Chuan, Song Lili, and Zhao Xuan to the Zhixing Supermarket next door at Hengxing Vocational College!
Hengxing Vocational College has nearly 30,000 students and an even larger market – that's the real highlight!

By the time Wang Junshan arrived, Zhixing Supermarket had almost finished unloading the winter melons.

Wang Junshan settled the payment and saw the driver and his party off.

"Same as always, Lu Chuan will put up the posters."

"Lili, Zhao Xuan, go hand out flyers."

"Good boss."

The three of them took immediate action.

Shop assistant Shi Lei came over: "Boss, as you instructed. There are a total of 553 winter melons. 300 are under the tent at the front door, and the remaining 253 are in the warehouse at the back door."

"Okay, let's start selling now. It's two yuan per jin, and if you join the group purchase group on the spot, it's only 1.8 yuan per jin..."

Wang Junshan took out several A4 sheets of paper with the group number written on them, handed them to Shi Lei, and gave her a brief explanation, just like at Boya Supermarket.

"Call another employee, Liu Jiaying, and ask if she's free tonight. If she is, she can come to the store to work overtime. Overtime pay is calculated at 6 yuan per hour, and it will be settled on the same day."

"Okay, boss, let me ask."

Shi Lei dialed Liu Jiaying's number.

He quickly replied to Wang Junshan: "Boss, Yingying is free and will be over in a bit."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work. When she arrives, have her come find me."

"Ok."

As expected, Hengxing College quickly opened up sales channels by replicating the model of Binhai Hotel Management Vocational College.

Following Wang Junshan's example, Shi Lei quickly mastered the sales pitch for winter melons.

As more and more people arrived, Shi Lei simply moved an electronic scale and stood next to the front tent to settle accounts.

Wang Junshan was in the shop minding the store and helping with the settlement.

They also hired two good-looking, enthusiastic, and clever girls to work part-time distributing flyers.

Hengxing Vocational College has nearly 30,000 students and a larger area, so even four people handing out flyers wouldn't be enough.

There was no other way; the market for Binzhou winter melon was saturated, and sales had been halved for several consecutive years.

Yesterday, 40,000 jin were sold; today, less than 20,000 jin; tomorrow, probably less than 10,000 jin; and the day after, less than 5,000 jin…

The market is saturated, sales have been declining continuously, and they are not afraid of others following suit.

But Hengxing Vocational College is different; they've just started selling winter melons, and it's currently a hot seller.

If we were to be outmaneuvered at this crucial juncture, the losses would be enormous.

Wang Junshan knew that speed was of the essence in warfare.

Increase marketing and promotion efforts, ship goods as quickly as possible, and seize the initiative!

After putting up the posters, Lu Chuan started promoting and settling accounts at the back warehouse.

Wang Junshan continued to sit at the counter in the store, and would scan the code to pay when people came to buy things.

When no one came to buy anything, Wang Junshan would type on the keyboard.

Of course, he wasn't just playing around; he was posting on the Hengxing Vocational College forum to promote the school.

Wang Junshan also paid attention to the Hotel Management Vocational and Technical College and the Binzhou University Tieba forum.

They're all using Boss Dong's account to post and promote their products.

Of course, the focus is different; Hengxing Vocational College has the most students, while Wang Junshan posts the most.

Hotel management vocational colleges are the next best option.

The topic of "winter melon" on the Binzhou University Tieba forum is already quite popular; just post a few more to maintain its popularity.

Occasionally, they will even engage in mockery, thereby attracting more attention.

With this strategy, Donggua became popular on two vocational school forums.

Many people who were staying in their dormitories came downstairs to buy winter melons.

This resulted in long queues forming at Zhixing Supermarket. Liu Jiaying, who arrived on her electric scooter, was shocked by the scene.

"Isn't our supermarket about to go out of business? Why are so many people buying things?"

"what!"

"Why are they selling winter melons?!"

"And it's selling so well!"

Liu Jiaying was stunned!
"Yingying, this is all thanks to the boss's great wisdom. He's inside the house," Shi Lei said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go."

Liu Jiaying walked into the room, looked Wang Junshan up and down, and sighed inwardly, "The boss is so young and handsome!"

"Hello, boss, I'm Liu Jiaying." Liu Jiaying extended her hand.

"Hello." Wang Junshan also extended his hand.

Liu Jiaying and Shi Lei are about the same age; both are good-looking.

Ten years from now, with beauty filters enabled, you could become a live streamer and easily seduce big spenders.

But in 2008, he could only honestly work as a shop assistant and earn 1500 yuan!

It can only be said that this is both a bad era and a good era!

After giving a brief explanation, Wang Junshan told Liu Jiaying to go to the back door and learn the whole routine from Lu Chuan.

He then began designing the signboard for the premium supermarket and the standees for the pickup points.

Soon, Liu Jiaying also completed her apprenticeship and took over from Lu Chuan to lead the team independently.

As more and more people lined up at the front gate to buy things, the number of people doing so increased.

The store already had electronic scales, so Lu Chuan simply brought one over and went to the front door to settle the bill with Shi Lei, one on each side.

With a tent at the front and a warehouse at the back, people can select melons simultaneously and settle accounts at the same time, greatly increasing efficiency.

Everything is back on track.

Sitting in the shop, Wang Junshan looked at the bustling business on both sides and couldn't help but smile.

This truly reflects the wisdom of the ancients and the good fortune of modern people.

Admittedly, winter melon is not as effective at cooling down as a large fan, much less as effective as an air conditioner.

However, in the dormitories of major universities in the coastal area, there are no fans, let alone air conditioning, and the power is cut off at 11 pm, so the fans that you buy yourself can't be used!
A winter melon that doesn't need electricity is invincible!

Of course, in some of the hottest cities in mainland China, where the temperature can reach over 30 degrees Celsius at night, the cooling effect of winter melon is only so-so. After three hours, it becomes ineffective, and you still can't sleep because of the heat.

However, in coastal cities like Binhai, the temperature is only 28-31 degrees Celsius in the first half of the night. After Donggua drops three degrees, it becomes 25-28 degrees Celsius, which is just right for a good night's sleep.

The temperature drops in the latter half of the night, with the indoor temperature only reaching 25-28 degrees Celsius. The winter melon's cooling effect is lost, but it's actually just right, preventing people from getting cold.

What can be said?
All I can say is that winter melon and Binhai City are a perfect match!
It has become a cooling wonder and an essential necessity for all students!

This also brought Wang Junshan his first pot of gold!

Wang Junshan not only promoted himself extensively on Baidu Tieba, but also marketed his work extensively on Renren (a Chinese online community platform).

With four people handing out flyers, the results were exceptionally good.

Winter melons are selling like hotcakes at Hengxing Vocational College!
Especially after six o'clock, many students finish their meals in the cafeteria and walk back, passing by the vicinity.

Seeing so many people queuing at both the front and back entrances of Zhixing Supermarket, no one could resist the interest.

They also rushed forward to join in the fun.

I've heard that winter melon is a cooling wonder, and I was initially skeptical, even dismissive.

You can easily find the original text of the Compendium of Materia Medica online!
So they believed it, joined the queue, and started choosing and buying melons.

With the authority of Li Shizhen at its back!

Thousands of Penn students have purchased it!
Zhixing Supermarket also offers a money-back guarantee if the product is ineffective!

In addition, the price is not expensive. Joining the group purchase group will only cost you 1.8 yuan per pound, which is very affordable.

Many students joined the group and made purchases.

Business is booming at Hengxing Vocational College as well.
