Chapter 691: Chapter 691: The Original Wife Sold by Her Husband 37

"Little sister, we don’t have much money and can’t invest in your appliance store. You don’t lack these funds, you’re clearly trying to stuff the money you’ve earned into our pockets. We’re not those thick-skinned brothers and sisters-in-law. Little sister, we’re happy your business is doing well, but we can’t keep taking advantage of you."

"In our business, if you could lend each of us five hundred yuan, we’d be very grateful. You don’t have to keep propping us up. Our store may be small, but it does make quite a bit of money, several times more than a worker’s salary, and we’re satisfied."

The brothers and sisters-in-law didn’t want to take advantage of her.

But Yuan Chun’s duty was to ensure her siblings lived well.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Chun said, "Why don’t we merge our few stores into one supermarket? We’ll sell everything, but this shop won’t do; we’ll need to buy a two-story storefront."

"What’s a supermarket?"

"It’s like a department store, selling everything from food to clothing, oil, salt, sauces, vinegar, tea, toothpaste, towels, soap; it’s cheaper and no tickets are required. Plus, our service attitude should be great. Think about it, cheaper than a department store, better service, no ticket required. If it’s you, would you choose to go to a department store or come to our supermarket to shop?"

Wang Hongjun’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea."

So, three days later, Yuan Chun spent eighteen hundred yuan to buy the best two-story storefront in the bustling county area, a total of over four hundred square meters.

Half a month later, the county’s first Wang Family Supermarket opened.

On the same day, the five Wang siblings closed their individual shops and moved everything into the Wang Family Supermarket.

Yuan Chun became the biggest shareholder and the chief boss of the Wang Family Supermarket, responsible for sourcing goods from the south and planning and managing the supermarket.

But since Yuan Chun was not often in the county, Wang Hongjun was promoted to general manager of the supermarket.

Wang San was promoted to procurement manager, specializing in purchasing local products and food from the county, and Second Brother Wang was transferred to the second floor as the floor manager, which mainly sold appliances, clothing, shoes, bags, scarves, and yarn items.

Fourth Brother Wang was the manager of the first floor, selling food, groceries, daily items, etc.

As for the four sisters-in-law, they temporarily continued their previous work, and Yuan Chun also hired a few young wives from the Wang Family to help the eldest sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law with noodle making and braised meat.

Since Wang Family Supermarket sold everything, didn’t require tickets, and offered fair prices with particularly enthusiastic service, the braised flavors and noodle dishes were delicious, making Wang Family Supermarket an instant hit in the county.

Especially for appliances, there were daily queues to buy them.

People from the neighboring county even heard about the ticket-free TVs and radios and requested leave to come and buy them.

Every month, Yuan Chun made two trips to the south to stock up on goods.

Of course, Yuan Chun had the convenience of space and could purchase tens of thousands of yuan worth of goods in one go, with more than half of the goods transported back in space, and the remainder using rented train cars.

Saving more than half in transportation costs meant the Wang Family Supermarket’s appliances were ten percent cheaper than those later opened appliance stores, and even when other appliance specialty stores opened in the county, they couldn’t compete with Wang Family Supermarket.

Just as Yuan Chun’s business was booming, a woman with a big belly found her way to Xiao Wa Village.

After receiving a phone call from Wang Mu, a cold light flashed in Yuan Chun’s eyes, but she kept a look of ignorance on her face and asked, "Mom, you say the woman is called Cen Yuqi? I don’t recognize her."

"What, she’s come to our home looking for He Lisheng?"
