Chapter 434 It’s Not Really Free
As soon as the words were spoken and the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, the crowd rushed into the mall like a tide, pushing and shoving, fearing that if they were too late, all the good things would be snatched up.
Gu Mobai muttered softly, "Wife, we won't lose money on this, right? I've never heard of any department store holding a lottery."
Lin Panpan looked at him and said:
"The new sales model is the only way to let everyone know that our department store's products are good.
You have to trick people in first, right? Besides, our products are really good, and we have after-sales guarantee.
People are afraid of comparison. Just wait and see! We won’t lose money, because our products are all independently developed, so they are naturally the cheapest.”
Zhang Xiang walked around the mall and was stunned: "Are these people crazy? It's not like they really don't want money..."
"How are these clothes selling? Are they really 50% off? Oh my God, this is too good a deal!" Several aunts rushed to the clothing racks with their eyes wide open.
A middle-aged woman with curly hair pulled up a floral shirt, her voice trembling with excitement: "The original price is 20 yuan, but after the discount it's only 10 yuan? This is like giving it away for free!"
The egg stalls were packed. Someone was holding a plastic bag and shouting, "Look at these eggs! They're half the price of the ones next door and they're on sale! You'd be missing out if you didn't buy them!"
Amidst the constant exclamations, the basket of eggs was almost empty in an instant.
Not far away, a shiny 28-inch bicycle was surrounded by people.
"My kid's been talking about this for a long time!" The woman in reading glasses leaned against the shelf, her nails gently rubbing the handlebars. "How much is this bike?"
The salesperson smiled and said, "The original price is 120, and the discounted price is 60."
The crowd instantly exploded.
"You can buy a bicycle for 60 yuan?!"
"Do you need a ticket?"
"No, we don't need tickets to buy anything here."
"No ticket? Then what are we waiting for!" Amidst the cacophony of questions, several old men had already rolled up their sleeves and squeezed forward, fearing that if they were slow, others would get there first.
A group of young women in floral shirts gathered in front of the cosmetics counter. A few of the bravest ones reached out to touch the glass bottles, muttering quietly, "I've never seen this Shanhua brand before."
The salesperson with pigtails quickly stood on tiptoe and held up the display box:
"Don't worry, sisters! This is made in our factory using wild chrysanthemum and angelica from the mountains. It doesn't contain any foreign stuff!
The other day, a female worker at a textile factory used it and said that even the redness on her face faded!"
As he said this, he applied some vanishing cream on the back of his hand: "Smell it, it's full of herbal fragrance, it's also comfortable for sensitive skin!"
The girls pushed and shoved each other to get closer. One of them took out a mirror and smeared some on her face. Immediately, her companions pulled her around in circles: "Wow! It's so white and translucent!"
The jewelry counter was much quieter.
Gilded lace hairpins and pearl hairbands gleamed in the glass cabinets. Several girls leaned over the counter to count the prices and gasped, "Two dollars for a hairpin? That's enough to buy three pounds of pork!"
The salesperson wearing blue cloth sleeves gently wiped the glass and explained with a smile:
"It's expensive for a reason! Buy a hairpin and get a free braid. You can do a bun or a bun.
Look at these rhinestones, they were all hand-set by a master craftsman, I guarantee they won’t fall off when you wear them!”
A few hesitant girls were hooked by this and bit their lips as they took out some change: "Then...give me the simplest one, for braiding my hair for work!"
Zhang Xiang really didn't expect that he would be so busy on the first day. He was almost flying.
"Manager, our cloth has been snatched away. What should we do?"
"Manager, I don't have enough eggs..."
"Manager, all the clothes are sold out, what should I do?"
"My side..."
Zhang Xiang said loudly, "Don't panic, we'll be able to restock soon. Don't worry, we've stockpiled goods for several months, so there's no way we won't be able to get enough."
There were only a few people left in the department store opposite, and they were all Deng Xiaoyan's friends.
"What's there to steal? You're just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!" Deng Xiaoyan, with her nails painted, looked coldly at the opposite side.
My best friend with permed hair beside me held a handkerchief and covered her mouth with her handkerchief, laughing softly: "I heard that they even dare to sell homemade vanishing cream. They are not afraid of ruining their face."
"That's right! The color TVs and bicycles that are being raffled off might just be empty shells, just money-making scams." Someone else interrupted.
The guy wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his frames and shook his head in agreement, "What good stuff can a small department store like this have? It's just some shoddy, inferior stuff."
As the department store became increasingly bustling, the boy in bell-bottom pants suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Xiaoyan, how about we go in and take a look? We can find an opportunity to cause them some trouble!"
The girl with a ponytail next to her brightened up her eyes:
"Exactly! I also want to know what it's like inside to be able to fascinate people like this.
Don't worry, I will definitely help you vent your anger!"
Before Deng Xiaoyan could say anything, her best friend with rose-red nail polish came over. She shook her curly hair and said with a pout:
"Leave it to me! I'll start yelling later.
They say that what they sell are inferior products, and see who dares to buy them! "
Several people gathered together, discussing with each other, with a look of dissatisfaction in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to rush into the department store to disrupt the situation.
Deng Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes, a sinister look flashing in them: "Remember, don't show your hand."
Several of her best friends immediately patted their chests, gesturing in the air with their bright red nails: "Xiaoyan, don't worry! When it comes to acting, we're even more professional than the actors in the model operas!"
Before he finished speaking, the crowd rushed into the department store with great momentum.
But as soon as they stepped over the threshold, they were instantly engulfed by the surging sound and heat.
In the home appliance section, several shirtless men scrambled to grab an electric fan, their necks bulging with veins. "I touched this one first! Why should I give it to you?"
The salesperson held up a megaphone and tried desperately to maintain order, shouting until his voice was hoarse: "Everyone, please pay attention to safety, pay attention to safety!"
Young women huddled together in front of the cosmetics counter. One smeared vanishing cream on her face, screaming in surprise, "It's really not sticky! The herbal smell is so reassuring!"
There is a prominent notice on the counter: "Refund for allergies!"
Attract more people to stretch out their arms and pay.
The most exaggerated one was the luggage area. As soon as Deng Xiaoyan’s friend caught a glimpse of the cowhide bags on the shelf, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground.
The embossed pattern and brass lock—clearly the style of an international brand you'd seen in magazines! She stumbled and clung to the counter, then suddenly covered her mouth when she saw the price tag. 128 yuan!
"This wouldn't sell for thousands abroad?!" Her throat tightened and her nails dug deep into her palms.
Before I could react, a crocodile-patterned tote bag flashed by next to me, the burgundy waxed leather glowing with a warm luster.
Another girlfriend screamed and rushed over: "I've been looking for this retro style for half a year! I didn't expect to find it here..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed to the ground by the crazy crowd.
The few people who were originally planning to disrupt the situation were now squeezed into the crowd in shock.
