The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Wal-Mart supermarket is scheduled to officially open on December 26.

I chose this day because New Year's Day is approaching, and the French people are about to celebrate the New Year. Opening at this time can catch up with the last wave of buying new year's goods.

All the staff of Zana and Wal-Mart Commerce Company were so busy that they hurried to advance the opening time so much.

All the employees are working hard, but as the boss, Alfonso is not in Paris at this time. He returned to Biarritz and Isabella yesterday after Christmas, and only got on the return train today.

...

"Lucio, how much do you think the turnover can reach today?" Nasi and Lucio sat in the office on the third floor of the supermarket and looked down the window. Below are the bustling crowds. Not an exaggeration.

Lucio was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling from ear to ear, and said: "Haha, it must be very tall, it must be very tall."

Before Wal-Mart opened, it was published in all newspapers in Paris, and it even distributed leaflets on the streets for a week. The cost of advertising alone was more than £3,000.

Coupled with the title of 20% off the grand opening bargain, today's popularity exceeds everyone's expectations.

Even Zana ran to the scene to help. Only Lucio was still sitting in the office due to physical reasons in the entire company.

...

The 16-year-old Jacqueline is the daughter of a dentist in Paris. Doctors of this era, especially dentists, are quite decent and are firmly among the middle-income groups.

With such a family background, Jacqueline spent a carefree childhood and is now studying in Paris Girls’ High School, and will graduate a year later.

After graduation, according to the arrangement of his father, he may return to the small clinic at home to work as a nurse, and then marry a lawyer or businessman.

So many people admire this life, but she is extremely dissatisfied with the future that can be seen at a glance.

It just so happens that recently a rescue organization called the Red Cross is gaining momentum. With a few touching stories and free sharing of how to make masks, it has gained a large number of fans in Paris.

She heard that they were recruiting nurses on the battlefield, and immediately wanted to sign up, but after talking to her father about the idea, she was strongly opposed.

She tried her best with reasons such as "The Red Cross is a humanitarian organization and soldiers will not attack nurses" and "helping wounded soldiers and contributing to French mothers", but they all failed.

Feeling distressed, she heard that the Wal-Mart supermarket was about to open, so she brought friends to relax.

"There are too many people, or you should go back and come back another day..." Jacqueline looked at the crowded crowd and retreated.

Her friend disagreed. As the daughter of a racecourse owner, Caroline has a bravery that ordinary women do not have: "No, the discount only lasts for three days, let alone this posture, I suspect that the product will not last for a day. arrive.

Although it's not bad for the money, I took an hour in the carriage and I must buy something today! "

After talking about Caroline, she took Jacqueline and rushed into the crowd.

These years, the Orioles are legal, but no one will take advantage of them. It is the crowd pushing and shoving that makes it extremely difficult for them to move forward.

"Keep order! Don't push! Prevent trampling!" Many staff members stood in front of the shelves and shouted hoarsely, but in the age without loudspeakers, the voice of a person is so small that most people can't hear it.

"No, trampling will definitely happen if this continues." Zana was very anxious in his heart, and he devoted all his efforts to the supermarket.

And Alfonso promised to perform well to give him 3% of the stock of Wal-Mart French department store, if he wants to spend some money to increase this ratio to 5%, so now the most important supermarket is him, Biah Fang Suo still valued.

He had foreseen the possibility of a stampede before, arranged for many people to maintain order, and posted slogans in eye-catching positions, but the turbulent crowd still greatly exceeded his psychological prediction.

After thinking and thinking, he said with difficulty to François on the side: "Limit the flow of people and enter in batches."

After saying this, he felt that all his energy was taken away. He had previously issued a military order to Alfonso for sales of 500,000 francs. If this amount was exceeded, he would have shares. If he did not exceed this amount, he would have to discuss it again. Cut money.

But there is no way. Once a stampede occurs, it will be all over, and 3% of the dry shares should be broken.

There are four doors on the first floor of the supermarket. François took a few staff to write down signs, rectify the order, and stipulate that two of them are only allowed to enter, and the other two are only allowed to exit.

"Don't be crowded, there are too many people today. Please go to the gates 1 and 2 on the left to enter in line. Thank you for your understanding and support! If it is not convenient for you to wait, we are welcome to come back tomorrow!" Franço Wa stood at the door, waving his hands and shouting loudly.

Of course, no one listened to him. In such a noisy environment, no matter how loud a child roared, he couldn't hear him after 10 meters.

Fortunately, although the voice was not audible, it was possible to convey information through body language and holding signs. Gradually, with the help of the Champs Elysées police station, the order was rectified.

Some people left, but more people still choose to queue up obediently, because with a 20% discount, the selling price is basically the factory wholesale price, and the supermarket does not make money.

People need to spend dozens or hundreds of francs to buy new year goods.

And ordinary people's wages are only a few francs a day, which means that even if they line up for a day, as long as they can buy things, they will make money from an economic point of view.

Jacqueline and Caroline were lucky enough to enter the supermarket in the first batch.

Caroline looked back at the tourists who were blocked outside and were not allowed to enter. She was fortunate that she was filled with a sense of superiority in her heart. She was obviously just going to the supermarket, but I was able to go to other people but not, and the supermarket suddenly became more fragrant.

"Okay, it's not too crowded now!" Caroline said happily.

"Well, what are we going to buy?" Jacqueline smiled.

…

The scene was a little silent for a while. Both families were not short of money. The New Year goods had already been purchased. They came to have a fun, and for a while, they really didn't know what to buy.

"First, let's go shopping first." The third floor of the supermarket, which adds up to 7000 square meters, took a long time for the two to stroll from the food area to the beverage area.

There are obviously fewer people in the beverage area, because beverages are considered middle-class consumption these days, and most ordinary people drink boiled water.

Here they finally enjoy the treatment of a shopping guide.

"Two ladies buy something. We have all kinds of coffee, milk, wine and beverages. If you spend over 100 francs, you will also get a lottery ticket."

The two looked at each other, and Jacqueline asked first: "What can I draw with the lottery ticket?"

"First prize, a 1868 Breguet watch, second prize..."
