Chapter 476 Big opening reward
Jufulai Grand Opening Special Offer for Three Days

As for the details of the grand opening promotion, Tong Huaqiong had already announced the details on the opening day.

Everything is 20% off, some items are buy one get one half price, buy three get one free, and the shop even offers free letter writing and pot and pan repair services for all customers.

The service of writing letters for others is attractive, but not that great. After all, most people in this era are attached to their hometowns and don't have many family members living elsewhere, so there aren't many people who need to write letters to relatives and friends.

Free pot and pan repairs are different from regular repairs.

Unlike later generations when pots and pans could be bought cheaply everywhere, pots and pans were still very precious in this era, and many families treated them as family heirlooms.

Therefore, if it breaks, it is not thrown away, but repaired.

Everyone has a couple of broken bowls and pots that need fixing.

After the news was released, many people lined up the next day, carrying pots and pans.

Jufulai has stated that regardless of what you buy, as long as you make a purchase at Jufulai, you can receive free pot and pan repair services.

Anyway, you'll need needles and thread eventually, and you'll need to eat oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar every day, so why not buy some at Jufulai and get your pots and pans repaired while you're at it? Isn't that more cost-effective than paying extra to get them repaired?
When it comes to making a living, you can always figure things out.

I've also heard that Jufulai pawnshop offers higher valuations than other pawnshops, and people who urgently need money come to Jufulai to pawn their gold and silver jewelry.

Since many people have already enjoyed Jufulai's services and promises on its first day of opening, they have even greater faith in the grand opening promotion.

The word spread quickly, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and a huge crowd gathered; the second day saw even more people than the first.

Even before Jufulai opened, many people had already arrived with pots and pans to queue up.

Even though he was reluctant, Gu Youtian still opened the door an hour early as Wu Ren had requested.

Yesterday, his whole family and two employees squeezed into Wu Ji's warehouse to rest. Because it suddenly got very hot last night, Gu Youtian hardly slept at all.

Despite being sleepy, I woke everyone up.

Feeling a bit annoyed, Wu Ren and his family lived in the courtyard behind the shop, even though they were also partners.

Although the courtyard is small and there are only two rooms, it's more comfortable than a warehouse because so many people don't have to squeeze together.

Wu Ren really treated him like a servant or a helper.

"Second Brother, how much longer are we going to be here?" Gu Honglian asked, yawning.

She came to the county town to enjoy a life of luxury, but her second brother treated her like a free helper.

Gu Youtian said impatiently, "If you don't want to stay here, you can go back today."

Hearing Gu Youtian's unfriendly tone, the others got up and busied themselves.

There was no other way; the whole family's livelihood depended on this shop. Everyone pitched in to work, and once the shop became profitable, they could hire more people.

Grandma Gu led Jia, Wei, and Xiaoxue to the kitchen to start a fire and cook, while Grandpa Gu led Gu Fengnian and Gu Ruinian to clean the shop.

Gu Youtian and his two assistants opened the door.

Goodness, it's packed with people outside.

Upon closer inspection, most of them were carrying bowls or pots, and Gu Youtian couldn't understand what they were doing.

I haven't heard of any soup kitchens being set up in disaster areas.

However, judging from their simple yet clean clothing, they didn't look like disaster victims.

"Excuse me, ma'am, what are you waiting for here? And why are you carrying two bowls?" Gu Youtian asked the old woman sitting in front of Wu Ji's shop.

The old woman stood up, dusted herself off, and said loudly, "You don't understand, do you? You can get your pots and pans repaired at Jufulai Supermarket. These two bowls of mine are broken, so I'm getting them fixed while I'm at it."

Gu Youtian couldn't believe it and said, "Auntie, don't be fooled by Jufulai. They only repair bowls after you buy something. The things you bought could have repaired so many bowls. They're just trying to trick you into spending money."

The old woman glanced at Gu Youtian sideways and said, "I'll fix anything you buy, that's for sure. Yesterday my sister-in-law bought a roll of thread to mend a big iron pot. Today I'm planning to buy two needles. Think about it, how much do two needles cost? These two bowls can be mended with enough needles to buy ten needles."

Gu Youtian's expression stiffened. He had underestimated Tong Dajiao's intelligence.

No, Tong Dajiao couldn't possibly have come up with such a business idea.

Gu Ruinian said that Gu Taohua was the one supporting the business of the eldest son's family, but he underestimated his niece.

"You sell bowls in your shop too? I remember this used to be a furniture shop," the old woman said, peering into Wu Ji's shop.

With a smile on his face, Gu Youtian said, "It used to be Liu's Furniture Store, now it's Wu's Department Store. They have everything from pots and pans to needles and thread, and the prices are cheaper than Jufulai. Why don't you come in and have a look, ma'am?"

If you can open for business very early in the morning, it's a good omen.

The old woman glanced at the shop, then held up two broken bowls with leaky bottoms to Gu Youtian's face and said, "If I buy your stuff, will you mend my bowls?"

Gu Youtian looked embarrassed.

Wu Ji does not offer such services.

Hiring a few craftsmen who can repair pots and pans would require a huge investment.

In his opinion, Jufulai was only popular for a short time, and it would go bankrupt sooner or later.

People are coming all over the street with pots and pans. How can Jufulai handle that?

The old woman said, "If your Wu Ji restaurant doesn't repair bowls, why should I buy your stuff?"

Gu Youtian's assistant got angry and said to the old lady, "Since you're not buying anything, then don't block the door and delay our business."

The old woman rolled her eyes and said, "Who cares?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Jufulai.

This Wu Ji restaurant is stingy; they won't even let people stand at the door if they don't buy anything.

What kind of business can you do with this?

She's remembered this shop; she'll have to promote it properly later.

Now that Wu Kee is open, we can't just passively wait for customers to come to us.

Gu Youtian instructed his two employees to take care of the people.

You need to get people to Wu Ji first before you can get a sale.

The two shop assistants greeted most people for a long time, but most people only glanced at Wu Ji's shop without moving an inch.

Gu Youtian was so distressed that he wanted to drag the person into the shop.

Just as he was getting increasingly agitated, Wu Ren arrived, followed by Gu Ruinian.

“Youtian, there are quite a few people outside. We need to find a way to get them in,” Wuren said to Gu Youtian.

Gu Youtian was getting increasingly agitated. How could he not want people to come in?

Wu Ren's first words are always "find a solution," but he himself has no good ideas.

If business were that easy, these people outside wouldn't be customers, they'd be the owners.

But he couldn't admit to Wu Ren that he didn't have a better solution.

Otherwise, if Wu Ren turns against him and doesn't let him be a partner, things will get complicated.

Gu Ruinian saw right through Gu Youtian's thoughts.

Wu Ji has been open for half an hour, and despite the large number of customers outside, not a single person is willing to come in.

It has to be said that his father's business acumen was really not that great.

Gu Ruinian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Father, Uncle Wu, I have a way to get people in."
