Half an hour later, the female server appeared at the Human Resources Department of "New Era Supermarket".

They conducted an instant interview and processed onboarding on the spot, then gave me a task: "Recruit people, and you'll get a 100 yuan reward for every former colleague you recruit!" They also promised that "employees of Baijia Supermarket can be hired instantly without an interview, start work on the same day, and receive Baijia Supermarket's salary as compensation."

The waitress, spurred on by the 100 yuan head bonus, was full of energy and rushed back to Baijia Supermarket to share the news.

This caused a sensation throughout the entire supermarket.

Without saying a word, the employees rushed to the "New Era Supermarket" across the street.

No interview required.

Instant onboarding

They even received their work cards and uniforms and started working right away!

……

Meanwhile, at Baijia Supermarket...

After receiving a call from head office, the supermarket manager returned to the supermarket.

Then I saw an empty supermarket.

"????"

"What about people?"

Where did the waiter go?

Confused!

Just then, a cleaning lady passed by and reported to him, "Manager, they've all gone to the supermarket across the street to start working."

The supermarket manager was shocked: "Huh???"

After learning the whole truth, the supermarket manager almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Call the head office immediately to report this.

Li Huanggua soon learned of this news.

Puff~~~

He spat out a mouthful of tea.

He immediately saw through their sinister intentions!

"Ma Zhichao!"

"You're so cruel!!"

This is absolutely a fatal blow!

……

Evening, 18:00

Asia Television broadcast another news report.

News anchor: "Today, the competition between 'New Era Supermarket' and 'Hundred Supermarkets' is intensifying."

"It seems that Baijia Supermarket has already suffered a complete defeat and is powerless to fight back."

"Just now, we received a message from New Era Supermarket: Attracted by New Era Supermarket's salary of 15,000 yuan per month, which is three times higher than the salary offered by New Era Supermarket, a large number of employees from hundreds of supermarkets have resigned and joined New Era Supermarket."

"Please see the interviews with these employees below."

The camera shifts to focus on the employees:

“I’m an appliance salesperson at Baijia Supermarket, and my salary is only 5000 yuan. I heard that the monthly salary here is 1.5 yuan, so I came here specifically for an interview.”

"The interview was very rigorous, and the interviewers had very high expectations for our service attitude. However, I was lucky enough to pass the interview and get an offer with a monthly salary of 1.5 yuan."

"Why switch jobs? Besides the higher salary, it's also because I think Baijia Supermarket is really failing. With less than 100 customers a day, it's not far from closing down."

"Many of my colleagues have switched jobs to come here. Basically, 90% of them have switched jobs. You could say that there are hardly any employees at the supermarket across the street."

After reading this news, all Hong Kong citizens have a deeper understanding of —

Hundreds of supermarkets are doomed!

Those shareholders who were initially convinced that Li Ka-shing was innocent have now wavered and are preparing to sell their shares tomorrow.

……

Li Family Villa

After watching the news on TV, the whole family fell silent.

With its innovative model, "New Era Supermarket" has gained immense momentum, sweeping in like a raging torrent, leaving hundreds of supermarkets with no time to react or find a way to cope.

That night, Li Huanggua tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

the next day,

The stock market opens.

Cheung Kong Holdings' stock plummeted, falling and falling...

Real estate and retail are the two pillars of Cheung Kong Holdings. Now that hundreds of supermarkets have been shut down, market confidence in Cheung Kong Holdings has plummeted.

On this day, the number of customers at New Era Supermarket reached 8.

The supermarkets were deserted, not a single customer in sight.

……

Day three...

Day ...

Day ...

……

Day 10...

The number of customers at the New Era Supermarket has increased to 10.

The supermarket across the street still had no customers.

Cheung Kong Holdings' stock has fallen by more than 20%.

Don't underestimate 20%; for Li Huanggua, the loss directly exceeds 100 billion.

Moreover, once Ma Zhichao opens a supermarket opposite the other 14 supermarkets in Hong Kong, the stock will continue to fall.

……

"cheers!!"

The World of Humanity Nightclub.

Ma Zhichao, along with all the executives from the protective umbrella, the film company, and the supermarket, celebrated their victory in this major battle.

"Well done, this time!"

"Finally over! A huge profit!"

"I shorted 15 billion with 10x leverage and made 28 billion!"

"Li Huanggua has suffered a huge loss!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Ma Zhichao was all smiles.

After this round of business competition, the "New Era Supermarket" brand was fully established.

More importantly, according to the statistics compiled by Gao Hu's financial staff, the network of protectors, film companies, soft drink companies, clothing companies, supermarkets... plus the laundered money...

Ma Zhichao's assets have exceeded 80 billion yuan.

This is before the company has gone public.

Once listed, the assets are expected to continue to surge.

Of course, money is secondary. The main point is that this battle signifies that Ma Zhichao has the strength to compete with top tycoons like Li Huanggua. The more than 20 henchmen of the Umbrella Corporation, as well as the 20 families and 80 citizens involved, radiating to various districts, are his strong backing.

In addition, there was his prestige at the West Kowloon Police Station and among the citizens of Hong Kong.

All together

Their power has reached its zenith!

It has absolutely no weaknesses!

Ring ring ring~~~~~

At this moment, Zheng Daheng called: "Mr. Ma, I wonder if you have time? I'd like to invite you for tea... I'm very interested in your 'New Era Supermarket,' and I wonder if there's an opportunity to invest..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhichao's lips curled into a smile.

I haven't gotten my revenge for the TV station raising prices last time!

Now you want to invest in my supermarket?

I want to eat fart!

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "Sorry, I have enough funds for the time being..."

Zheng Daheng said enthusiastically, "Haha, it's no problem... Let's have a meal together sometime and get to know each other..."

This attitude is so different from the previous one that kept people at arm's length.

Arrogant at first, then obsequious!

After hanging up the phone,

Ma Zhichao's phone kept ringing, mostly with wealthy people who wanted to invest in his supermarket, clearly very optimistic about it.

……

……

A new day,

Li Huanggua breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Ma Zhichao had ended his short selling.
