Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"Is Boss Lu out?"

"Look at what he's holding; it looks like a lottery box."

"Is it about to start?"

"I'll be going up to receive my prize soon, so please treat me to extra ice cream!"

The customers gathered at the entrance became restless after seeing Lu Yuan.

After finishing our meal, we stood here under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, all for this moment, wasn't it?

Lu Yuan came out carrying the box and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect everyone to be so accommodating. This is my good fortune and also a blessing for Friendship Supermarket. Since everyone is willing to give me face, I will not let you down."

"Boss Lu, that's a rather formal way of putting it. We're all just waiting for the result. How about we hurry up and start the lottery?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man started laughing and joking.

When he said that, the others chimed in.

"It's Boss Lu, so let's just look at the results."

Let's have a lottery.

Faced with everyone's requests, Lu Yuan raised his hand to quiet them down and said with a smile.

"Since everyone is so eager to get started, I certainly won't let you down. Here are the cards that everyone received in one day, and I've put them all in this box."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan shook the box in front of everyone, completely scattering the cards inside.

Then he showed it to everyone.

He then said, "This time I'm drawing the lottery, and there are only two winners. If this has taken up the time of others, I must apologize to everyone now."

"Boss Lu, you can rest assured that we all came voluntarily, and no one said it was a waste of time."

"Since I'm just sitting at home anyway, I might as well come here and join in the fun."

"If I were the lucky winner, I'd be happier to just claim the prize."

The middle-aged man who started the commotion spoke for everyone with a smile.

This also drew frequent nods from many people.

Lu Yuan was quite pleased with this scene and was happy that everyone thought this way. He smiled, spread his hands, and said cheerfully.

"Let me make one thing clear first: no arguing when we're collecting the prize. I came with my card, so if you're the winner, you have to come with your card too. I won't recognize you if you don't have your card."

"This is a good idea, it saves us from arguing."

"Where's my card?"

"Stop fiddling with your pockets. Did you put it somewhere? Do you want to take a good look and make sure it's really gone?"

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and go take a look."

After witnessing their actions, everyone couldn't help but smile warmly.

Lu Yuan was both amused and exasperated, nodding repeatedly and continuing to speak with a smile.

"Alright, I won't waste any more time, let's start the lottery now."

"To avoid accusations of cheating, let him win the first prize!"

As he spoke, Lu Yuan pointed to the middle-aged man who had just started making the loudest noise. Upon hearing this, the man thought Lu Yuan had pointed to the wrong person.

He quickly took a few steps to the side, and after noticing that Lu Yuan's finger had moved, he got up a little embarrassed and strode over.

"I feel really embarrassed."

"If you're scared, then get down."

At that moment, someone in the crowd spoke up.

The middle-aged man chuckled and retorted, "Going down is out of the question. Whoever wins the lottery later, remember to give me a red envelope."

Laughter drifted over.

The middle-aged man spoke in a low voice to Lu Yuan.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out this way. I assure you, Boss Lu, this is definitely not what you think."

"It's okay, go ahead and smoke."

Lu Yuan said, holding the lottery box.

"Everyone, watch carefully."

The middle-aged man reached inside and began to grope around, deliberately waving his arm around to create a dramatic effect.

"Who could this person be?"

"Should we all count down to ten?"

As he spoke, he began to count down.

Seeing that some people below were about to lose their composure, Lu Yuan smiled and urged them on.

"If you don't tell us soon, we'll replace you."

"The lucky winner with card number 276 has received the first free Snow King Coffee coupon!"

There was no need for Lu Yuan to say anything more; the middle-aged man had already picked up a card and started talking.

As his voice rang out, everyone in the room froze, quickly looking down at their own cards, hoping they would be the lucky one.

Suddenly, a young woman jumped up and said excitedly.

"I...I...it's me!"

"Congratulations."

Lu Yuan smiled and handed the other party the free meal voucher he had prepared beforehand.

The girl was shy, and her face flushed red when so many people were watching. After taking the money, she wanted to find a place to hide.

Lu Yuan asked, "Do you want to say something?"

"what?"

The girl froze, her neck turning red. She lowered her head and said, "The food at Friendship Supermarket is delicious, especially the lemonade from Snow King Milk Tea!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Lu Yuan wanted to stop the other party, but after seeing their attitude, he had no choice but to let them leave.

Then the middle-aged man drew the second one, customer number 037.

Lu Yuan called out several times but no one answered. It seemed that no one had come today, so he had no choice but to give up on the matter for the time being.

I'm planning to put it on a sign so that someone can see it and say something.

After finishing all that, Lu Yuan smiled at everyone.

"Thank you all for your help today. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, please let me know."

"Why are you being so polite, boss?"

"I hope there will be a discount next time."

"I'm leaving now, boss. I won't delay your business any longer."

When the hundred or so customers left, some of them still bought two ice cream cones before leaving.

As Sui Tingting watched those people leave, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness, as if she felt a little uncomfortable because these people didn't spend money.

Lu Yuan laughed and teased her from the side.

Sui Tingting thought for a moment and asked, "Boss, why don't you do some more promotions? Maybe we can still make some business."

"Are you really obsessed with money?"

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled and asked a question. When he saw that she didn't quite understand, he took the initiative to explain.

"This kind of promotional tactic shouldn't be used too often. If you use it too much, it will lose its effectiveness. In business, you still need to build a reputation and establish a brand."

"When people buy our products and think they're good, then we'll truly be a success."

Sui Tingting nodded subconsciously.

At that moment, Hu Lili ran over, panting, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

"Brother, something terrible has happened!"

"Someone from some newspaper just came over and said they wanted to do a thorough interview with our store. Lu Qin told me to ask you whether or not we should let them do the interview."

"Of course!"

Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"This is a great opportunity to become famous!"
