Chapter 409 "408" Final Battle!
Time passed in a flash, 10 days passed.

The distance to the Spring Festival has been shortened by another 10 days.

A lot of things happened in these 10 days.

ATV's "Justice Bao" suppressed TVB's "Justice Bao" and beat it up so badly that it finally forced TVB to cancel its own "Justice Bao" and then replaced it with new TV series "Fire Rose" and "Giant", which were still defeated miserably.

ATV's "Super Trainee" started to enter the beach hut for training in the second episode, and then rushed to the crews of "Justice Bao", "The Magistrate 2", "Forensic Heroes 1" and other dramas. Basically, some highlights were released every day, and the main film was broadcast on Friday. The ratings reached 60%, proving that this variety show was a success.

Moreover, this variety show linkage has also made many viewers look forward to "The Magistrate 2" and "Forensic Heroes 1".

Then the special program of "Super Trainee · Five Star Supermarket" was recorded at Five Star Supermarket on January 1.

According to Guan Zu's request, this special program tried to use an outdoor game variety show. Guan Zu designed the game with reference to the methods of later "Running Man" and "Extreme Challenge".

The recording was bumpy, but at least I gained a lot of experience in recording outdoor variety shows.

Then on the evening of January 1, "Super Trainee Five-Star Supermarket" was officially broadcast, with novel team collaboration, outdoor battle royale, and various game projects...

The fresh variety show features caught the eyes of many citizens.

The Five Star Supermarket Harbour City branch also opened its doors to Hong Kong citizens for the first time.

15 square feet of huge space!

A wide variety of goods!
Red lanterns, colorful balls and couplets are hung everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.

The playground in the children's area is also very large, with various slides, carousels, pop-up pools, three-story climbing frames, various tunnels, toys... it's simply too rich.

In the game project of "Super Trainee", the following are constantly inserted through the game:

"January 1th, the Chinese New Year, grand opening!"

"A mysterious surprise gift package is waiting for you!"

"On January 1, Five Star Supermarket will accompany you through the Chinese New Year!"

"..."

There are all kinds of prompts, which are simply a bombardment and brainwashing.

……

……

At this time, on the other side, at the Li family villa.

After a busy day, Boss Li dragged his tired body, washed up, and prepared to go back to his room for a good sleep.

As I get older, I don’t have as much energy as I used to.

During this period, he had been putting a lot of thought into the opening of Kangjia Supermarket, hoping to gain an advantage in the competition with Five Star Supermarket.

As soon as I walked to the bedroom door, I heard my second son's exclamation from the living room downstairs:

"Dad, come and see, Guan Zu is making a big noise again!"

Boss Li's heart tightened, and most of his fatigue disappeared in an instant.

He knew that as long as it involved Guan Zu and Five Star Supermarket, nothing was trivial. Guan Zu's business conspiracies were endless, which had given him headaches many times before.

Boss Li walked downstairs quickly and came to the living room, where he saw a special program of "Super Trainee Five-Star Supermarket" playing on the TV screen.

In the pictures, the trainees are chasing and running in the spacious and bright space of the Harbour City branch of Five Star Supermarket, or solving various puzzles. The team collaboration session is fun and interesting, and the various novel game projects are dazzling.

Of course, this is not what Boss Li saw.

What he saw was the huge space inside the Five Star Supermarket, the red festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and the rich festive vibe. The children's playground was even richer than he could imagine, with slides, carousels, ball pools, three-story climbing frames, all kinds of tunnels and toys.

Of course, Boss Li was not surprised by this.

He also does the same thing with his Kangjia Supermarket.

He got full marks for copying homework!

The only thing that concerned him was the constant opening reminders throughout the program, indicating that the store would open on January 1.

Boss Li couldn't help but sigh: "This Guan Zu actually thought of such a promotional method! Using variety shows to promote the opening of the Five Star Group, this is really a smart move."

Boss Li thought of many ways to promote the business, the most being advertising on TVB and having singers perform on the opening day, but he could not think of variety shows.

Such an ingenious promotion will surely accumulate great popularity for the opening of the Five Star Supermarket.

"but……"

Boss Li thought of his 100 million yuan discount and felt very confident.

"People are very realistic!"

"No matter how much you promote, if you don't benefit the citizens, they will ignore you."

"I'll spend 100 million, how can you win?"

"Even if you rush to come up with a plan, it's too late. There are only four days!"

Thinking of this,
Boss Li went into the room and went to sleep with a relaxed mood.

He slept well that night.

Everything has been arranged.

……

At this time,
All major newspapers in Hong Kong received the "travel expenses" from the Qu Yinzhi Group almost at the same time!
Qu Yinzhi Group: "We at Qu Yinzhi Group want tomorrow's headlines!"

Take a closer look!
Qu Yinzhi Group: "1 million Hong Kong dollars discount, Kangjia Supermarket opens to send you Spring Festival blessings!"

All major newspapers were shocked.

"Oh my god! Boss Li is amazing. He is willing to spend 1 million Hong Kong dollars! Awesome!"

……

……

It's a new day. The sun shines on the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island. The whole city gradually wakes up and starts an ordinary and lively day.

Many citizens began to come to the more than 1000 newsstands across Hong Kong.

"Extra, Extra, Big news~~~"

"Boss Li spent 100 million to promote the opening of the supermarket!"

The newsstand owner called out to the surrounding citizens loudly.
Citizens gathered around.
The big headline on the newspaper read:

"1 million Hong Kong dollars in discounts, Kangjia Supermarket opens to send you Spring Festival blessings!"

The cover photo is a picture of Boss Li looking high and energetic.

Many citizens were shocked.
"Wow, Boss Li is really willing to spend money this time. One hundred million Hong Kong dollars, this is a big discount."

"It seems that I can save a lot of money by going to Kang's Supermarket this time."

The citizens nodded in agreement and praised Boss Li for his generosity.

That’s 1 million Hong Kong dollars!

There has never been such a crazy money-making offer before!

The first time in the history of the world.

"Boss Li, so generous!"

“So rich!”

However, many citizens expressed disdain.

"Boss Li is not so kind. He said 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but there must be some water in it. It would be good if he could actually come up with 50 million."

"Yes, Boss Li, you all know this. Although it seems like we are taking advantage, I guess in the end, the discount won't be much."

After these two citizens spoke, some of them nodded thoughtfully, thinking that there was some truth in what they said.

After all, Boss Li has a really bad reputation.

……

……

At this time,
In the Li family villa.

Boss Li slept particularly soundly last night and felt relaxed when he woke up.

Thinking again that once the headlines of today's newspapers come out, all Hong Kong citizens will be attracted by the promotions of Kangjia Supermarket, and the opening scene will surely be very popular, I feel even more relaxed.

"I plan to play golf and exercise after breakfast."

Boss Li thought to himself.

After washing up, go to the restaurant to enjoy your healthy breakfast.

There was whole-wheat bread rich in dietary fiber, cut into small pieces and baked until golden and crispy; a fresh fruit platter with strawberries, blueberries, and bananas; and a cup of warm, freshly squeezed vegetable juice, exuding a light fragrance. This was specially prepared by Boss Li and the nutritionist...

Boss Li was enjoying his breakfast slowly while Li Er came downstairs after washing up.

"Dad!"

"Ah."

Sitting down at the dining table, preparing to have breakfast with Boss Li, the housekeeper came in with a newspaper.

"Today's newspaper, sir."

Boss Li took the newspaper, looked at the eye-catching headline and his own photo, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

This is the first time that a HK$1 million discount has been offered in Hong Kong Island.

It is bound to be earth-shattering.

but!

Just as Boss Li was immersed in joy, the ATV morning news began to broadcast in the living room.

The first news is the big breaking news!
"Dear citizens, today I bring you a big news!"

"In order to welcome the upcoming Spring Festival and the grand opening ceremony, Five Star Supermarket will spend 2 million Hong Kong dollars in cash to give back to the general public in the form of Spring Festival red envelopes."

"The specific rules are..."

"There are 600 million red envelopes in total, with random amounts and full of sincerity, so that everyone can feel the strong festive atmosphere and surprises while shopping..."

At this moment, the smile on Boss Li's face froze instantly.

2 billion!
All cash!
Random red envelopes!
Simple and crude!

His face suddenly became serious, and his originally relaxed expression was gone.

Guan Zu was so generous that he directly spent 2 million Hong Kong dollars in cash!
I only have 1 million!
And the other party actually directly paid 2 million!
More generous!
More heroic!
Boss Li couldn't help but think of the last time he donated to disaster relief.

I thought 8000 million was a lot, but Guan Zu donated 4 million! Even if I donated another million, people still remembered Guan Zu.

At that time, he felt that his courage was not as good as Guan Zu's.

And this time,
Once again, he lost to Guan Zu in courage.

"Hello~~~~"

“They don’t take money as money!”

Boss Li was extremely angry.

In the past battles for Wharf Holdings and Jardine Matheson Land’s acquisition, he was so powerful and impressive, who wouldn’t call him the representative of Chinese businessmen?
As a result, now, as soon as Guan Zu made a move, he became obscured.

At this moment, Boss Li had a feeling of "If we have Yu, why do we need Liang?"

"Dad~~"

Li Er was also stunned and couldn't help but look at Boss Li.

Boss Li didn't answer him, but kept thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

After spending 2 million, your own 1 million is nothing.

What’s even more troublesome is that Guan Zu directly handed out cash, which was simple and crude, and full of sincerity.

And what about yourself?

A bunch of rules were made.

Compared with Guan Zu's sincerity, the rules I made seemed petty!
"what should I do?"

At this moment, Boss Li had a headache.

As soon as the news about Guan Zu came out, he became passive.

Should I add it?

Then change the rules for spending money?
He said to the housekeeper: "Prepare the car immediately and go to the company!"

Boss Li couldn't sit still anymore.

……

……

At this time,
In the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island, as the ATV morning news was broadcast, the news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar among the citizens.

In a tea restaurant in Yau Tsim Mong,
A group of neighbors were having breakfast.

Originally everyone was discussing the HK$1 million discount at Kangjia Supermarket, but when the news about Five Star Supermarket came on TV, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Oh my God!"

"Mr. Guan is so generous!"

"A direct cash bonus of 2 million, who can resist this?"

The neighbors opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with amazement.

"I used to think that Boss Li's 1 million discount was pretty good, but now compared to Mr. Guan, it's nothing."

"That's right, and think about it, Boss Li's discount has so many rules, with discounts and cash back, it's so troublesome. Five Star Supermarket directly gives out cash red envelopes, how simple and straightforward, the sincerity is obvious at a glance."

"The key is that Mr. Guan has always had a good reputation. If he says he will take out 2 million, then it must be a real 2 million. But as for Boss Li, I always feel that he is not very reliable based on some of the things that happened before. Although the promotion says the discount is 1 million, I think 8000 million would be good enough."

"8000 million? I think 5000 million is good."

On the Central and Western Ring Road,
Breakfast shops and tea restaurants were also talking about it.

"Brother Zu is still so domineering!"

"I have to say that Boss Li is far inferior to Mr. Guan in terms of courage."

"Yes, one is a direct cash bonus of 2 million! What about the other one? It seems to have a lot of discounts, but the rules make me dizzy. I don't know if it will be so much in the end. 5000 million will be good enough."

(Boss Li vomited blood: I really put in 1 million!)
"That's right. Boss Li has never been very honest in his work before. This time, it might be more of a big thunder than a small rain. Mr. Guan is really generous!"

In every corner of Hong Kong Island, citizens almost overwhelmingly prefer Five Star Supermarket, and everyone praises Guan Zu's generosity.

However, they are full of distrust towards the discounts offered by Boss Li’s Kangjia Supermarket.

When it comes to discounts, whoever gets less will be embarrassed.

Boss Li is in an awkward position now, so miserable!

……

……

Causeway Bay,
Downstairs of Guan Zu's house,
Guan Zu, Gong Wei and Xigui are eating breakfast.

"Hahaha~~~"

After Guan Zu saw Boss Li’s promotional promotion in the newspaper, he was surprised and then smiled with glee.

Boss Li spent 1 million Hong Kong dollars on promotions, obviously wanting to compete fiercely with his own Five Star Supermarket during this critical period of the Spring Festival.

"Under normal circumstances, 1 million would definitely make a splash."

"What a pity that you met me!"

His experience in his previous life told him that the more rules there are on Duoduo, JD.com, and Taobao, the more tricks there are.

Guan Zu took a bite of the rice roll.

Well, I’ve got it!
……

……

the other side,
Boss Li Ji also saw the news.

Without waiting until 9 o'clock, he started calling senior executives of HSBC and Standard Chartered at around 7 o'clock.

"I want to short sell Qu Yinzhi Group!"

Boss Li Ji smelled an opportunity for money!

but,

HSBC and Standard Chartered responded directly:
“Out of stock!”

"Guan Zu, Boss Zheng, and Boss Lin have already taken action!"

Boss Li Ji: “…………”

Good guy!
It’s always you three!

……

……

9:00,

Hong Kong stock market, opening call auction!
The stock of Qu Yinzhi Group plummeted, falling by 8%!

Retail investors across Hong Kong have already formed a conditioned reflex.

Every time Guan Zu fights against Boss Li, Boss Li loses!

This time, Boss Li lost the game before the supermarket even opened.

At 9:30, it officially started and continued to fall by 10%!

Retail investors panic: Family members, run!
