Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Thank you for your understanding.

Lu Yuan, the boss, never expected that the people here would be so simple and honest, even the elderly men and women didn't bother him.

Instead, someone worried that he was exhausted and gave him a bottle of water.

Such simple and honest folk customs are nowhere to be found in later generations after they have been brainwashed by various marketing tricks.

Since everyone understands, he naturally won't be polite and will treat customers like gods.

"I wasn't well prepared today. Everyone, please leave your information here later. Anyone who doesn't buy anything today will get a 20% discount if they come back within a week."

He bought a five-dollar Dove chocolate for four dollars.

What I want is something straightforward and affordable.

Upon hearing this, everyone was initially a little resentful and waved their hands to indicate that they didn't want to, but many people still left their messages.

"The boss is a kind person after all."

"That's right, the supermarket at the entrance of our community doesn't give you a discount when you buy groceries."

"I'll come back tomorrow; I absolutely have to try this chocolate."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the Friendship Store became somewhat empty, and Lu Yuan leaned against the counter and let out a long sigh.

The store looked like it had been robbed. Sui Tingting was standing in a pile of cardboard boxes, with nowhere to put her feet.

At this moment, Wang Xiuying had nowhere to put her feet. The drawer containing money was already full, and the box under their feet was also filled with money.

Even mahjong parlors during the Lunar New Year don't have that much money.

Are you hungry?

It took Wang Xiuying a while to realize that neither of them had eaten.

"The warehouse is empty. We can take a break after tidying up the shop today."

Lu Yuan inspected the warehouse, which was completely empty and clean, and said with a smile.

Wang Xiuying stared at his torn clothes for a moment, then asked with some concern.

What's wrong with you?

"They just get arrested for no reason. You have no idea how lively it was before. This is the first time I've ever seen a shop be this lively."

Lu Yuan recalled his previous experience of stocking goods, and he felt that if it weren't for the counter separating them, they would have torn him to pieces.

Those girls who are usually so innocent are now a real threat; thinking about it now still makes Lu Yuan feel a chill.

"Boss, you're amazing! You managed to sell out so much stuff!"

Sui Tingting looked at Lu Yuan with admiration in her eyes; she truly believed that Lu Yuan was omnipotent.

This was also the first time Wang Xiuying had ever truly understood her son.

They actually managed to revive a nearly dead shop. This is quite a big deal, and it might even make the news later.

"Alright, shall we go eat first?"

"Mom, if you're hungry, go ahead. I need to get the money sorted out."

I'm willing to go even though it's far, but we need to make sure we get today's revenue first, otherwise things will get messy later.

Sui Tingting nodded repeatedly, having become a complete fan of his.

Lu Yuan found a large cardboard box and poured all the money into it. Logically, this amount of money should be deposited at a bank for convenience.

However, these five cardboard boxes looked like a lot, and since Wang Xiuying and Sui Tingting were both unwilling and wanted to count the money, Lu Yuan had no choice but to let the two of them go.

Lu Yuan instructed two people to count the money in the back, but not in the shop, to avoid arousing jealousy.

After helping them carry the money inside, Lu Yuan wanted to go with them, but he couldn't keep up. He went out and bought three servings of braised pork trotters and strolled over slowly.

When he was at the door, he saw Chu You smoking and greeted him.

"Brother Chu, are you taking a break?"

"Xiao Lu? You're not going to take care of the shop anymore?"

Chu Youxian paused for a moment, looking at the much emptier Xijing Road, and asked with some doubt.

"So you've sold out all the stock?"

There was a hint of disbelief in his words; he clearly didn't think Lu Yuan had that ability, but the facts were right in front of him.

"It's all because everyone is giving me face. I don't have that much ability. Please don't look at me like that."

Lu Yuan smiled and declined.

Chu You handed him a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"By the way, where did you get all this stuff? This soap and chocolate, just by looking at the packaging, you can tell they're high-quality products. How come I've never heard of them before?"

"I got this from a classmate in Hong Kong and Taiwan; we definitely don't have it here."

Lu Yuan waved his hands repeatedly and began to explain.

Upon hearing this, Chu You's smile showed some surprise. After a quick glance, she made up her mind and leaned closer with a grin.

"We're friends now, Xiao Lu. You know my business isn't doing too well. Why don't you introduce me to someone? Don't worry, I'll make sure you get what you deserve."

You have to understand that when Chu You first opened the shop, there weren't this many people in the store. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious.

He's all smiles now, but his first priority is to figure out how Lu Yuan managed to get the goods.

During their time as neighbors, Lu Yuan was all too aware of Chu You's underhanded tactics: various price wars and promotions, determined to ruin his shop.

Now that he's become popular, you want to buy his goods just because he said so? You really think he's stupid because he lives far away.

Lu Yuan chuckled and laughed it off.

"Brother Chu, what are you saying? I'll ask around later. I haven't had a chance to eat since this morning. Wait for me to eat first."

"Chengcheng!"

Chu You watched Lu Yuan walk back into the shop with a smile, but the smile on her face turned somewhat gloomy.

Well, it's a long way. Let's see how long you can hide.

Back at the Friendship Store, in the back warehouse, Wang Xiuying and Sui Tingting were happily counting money. The two of them were so busy that they didn't even eat.

"A lot of money."

"My son is capable."

The warehouse contained 50,000 worth of goods that Lu Yuan had obtained from the system, which he had redeemed after depositing his own money into the system.

These items are not cheap, Lu Yuan estimated.

"It should be around 200,000."

It was actually a little lower than he had guessed, but it was still over 190,000.

When the turnover was calculated, not only Wang Xiuying and Sui Tingting, but even Lu Yuan was surprised.

Did you become a millionaire in just one day?

That's fucking making money!

No wonder so many big shots made their fortunes during this period. Riding the wave of reform and opening up, even a pig could fly.

Moreover, he was using a system, which was so cheap it was practically free.

It took Lu Yuan and me almost an hour to sort out this amount of money.

Lu Yuan separated the different denominations, some of which were only a few cents or dimes, and hadn't counted them carefully yet, but the number was still quite surprising.

"This is making way too much money!"

Wang Xiuying counted on her fingers: "190,000 a day, that's several million a month?"
