Chapter 21 - Improving Topic Popularity

Her face was full of energy. She was a local and the damage to her home was not very serious.

My family would call once an hour to let me know I was safe.

Because of Li Chen's reminder, Xuan Ke moved his parents to his current house in advance.

They also stockpiled a large amount of daily necessities, as well as fruits, vegetables and food.

I don't need to go out to buy anything for almost twenty days.

This also made Xuan less worried about the situation at home.

She just received a call from Xia Zixi.

Longming Department Store has been receiving orders from various provinces since early morning.

This is their headquarters, and they also have many branches in other provinces.

And storage warehouses are spread across other provinces.

With Li Chen's reminder, there was still a 100 million investment, so Ye Yong reported it to the board of directors.

It was the boss who gave the money, and Longming Department Store didn't believe that Li Chen would use 100 million yuan to deceive them into stocking up more daily necessities.

Moreover, Ye Yong belongs to the core management of Longming Department Store.

Ye Yong believed what Li Chen said.

Therefore, with Ye Yong's help, the management of Longming Department Store also gritted their teeth.

Take inventory of remaining goods in the warehouse and do not purchase anything other than essential daily necessities.

Most of the 100 million yuan invested by Li Chen was used to purchase daily necessities.

Some time before the typhoon arrived.

The senior management of Longming Department Store were all worried.

I'm afraid that the typhoon Li Chen mentioned will disappear before it even arrives.

But the typhoon really came.

Overnight, the whole country was on alert.

Starting from early morning, during the period when the typhoon was weakening, people rushed to supermarkets to stock up on daily necessities.

According to the information given by the Meteorological Bureau, this typhoon will last for at least some time.

After the typhoon passes, there will be continuous rainfall in various places.

Officials are calling on residents to make preparations in advance and stock up on daily necessities.

However, in the event of the sudden typhoon, Longming Department Store was well prepared and had a large amount of goods in the warehouse.

Other department stores or shopping malls are simply unable to meet the demand.

Soon, people discovered that because of this sudden disaster, all the items in shopping malls and supermarkets were sold out.

And Longming Department Store is still receiving customers.

Therefore, relying on the stockpiled goods, Longming Department Store has sold about 8% in four hours since early this morning.

The turnover in just four hours reached 50 million.

It's only been four hours!

When Xia Zixi called Xuan Ke, her voice was trembling a little.

Now the management at the headquarters is urgently distributing goods to various locations.

Ye Yong also specifically told Xia Zixi to contact Li Chen.

Longming Department Store may be working non-stop in the next few days, so they may not be able to take care of Li Chen.

If Li Chen has any suggestions or questions, he can contact Xia Zixi first.

After hanging up the phone, Xuan Ke went into Li Chen's office and reported to him what Xia Zixi had just said.

Li Chen was not surprised by this result.

"Just wait and see, this is just the beginning."

Li Chen thought about it.

"If Longming Department Store hadn't deliberately concealed the whereabouts of the money, the hoarded items would have brought them no less than 1 billion in revenue in the end."

After all, profits in retail are huge.

Now is an extraordinary time.

Other large shopping malls have slightly raised their price lines.

As long as the people at Longming Department Store are not stupid, they will know that they can combine the selling prices of other shopping malls to customize the most suitable price range.

It's higher than before, but lower than other merchants.

Because of this, customers who buy goods can feel the price difference.

Li Chen's 100 million yuan will bring him an income of about 1 billion yuan during this typhoon period.

However, if Longming Department Store takes advantage of this period to continue to expand its reputation and fame.

After that, what Li Chen can obtain is continuous income.

Thinking of this, Li Chen suddenly spoke.

"Xuan Ke."

Xuan Ke responded immediately.

"Yes!"

"Let them know that Longming can do something to squeeze out other department stores and become the leader."

"As for how to do it, I don't need to teach you, right?"

If they can't even use this little trick, then he really needs to think about whether or not to continue investing in them.

Xuan Ke nodded.

"I'll go now."

Xuan Ke knew that this was an extraordinary period, so she had to hurry up and complete the task assigned to her by Li Chen.

This typhoon and the continued rainfall have become a shadow in the hearts of the Chinese people.

During this period when people cannot go out, the only way for people to get news from the outside world, besides television, is the Internet.

Weibo, which usually contains entertainment news, is now completely covered with news about disaster relief donations.

*Actor Zhao donated 2 million yuan*

*Celebrity Hu donated 500,000 yuan*

However, although it is no longer entertainment gossip, most of the content revolves around celebrities.

After all, when it comes to this kind of time, it is time for them to attract passers-by fans to gain favor and increase public visibility.

Under those donation Weibo posts, some information suddenly appeared at some point.

[You were so moved by a celebrity's donation of 500,000 that you almost cried and praised it to the skies, but our state-owned enterprise only deserved 200 likes for its donation of 50 million? ]

[I know this! The one who donated 50 million is Hongxing Erke. God knows, in my impression, this brand has always been obscure. I am afraid that he will go bankrupt by donating.]

[Speaking of which, a daily necessities factory near my home also donated all the items in its warehouse. It is said that all the money of the factory is now used to buy raw materials. It cannot afford to pay wages, and the workers are all working voluntarily. ]

[Please tell me the name of the factory! I want my mother to buy things from this factory in the future! ]

[It's called Jiahui Living Products Factory! ]

[Let me add a sentence. My home is in the hardest-hit area, but it is strange that after all the houses nearby were blown down, my home and three other two-story buildings did not collapse.]

[City Lord, please be safe! ]

[Is there anything strange about this? Maybe your house is of better quality? ]

[The strange thing is that ours was our own house, and the other three belonged to my relatives. We built them at the same time...]

[? Buddha bless you]

[Although it sounds very mysterious, was it because the foundation was laid more firmly when you built it together? Or was it because the materials you chose were better?]

[I remember now! We all used Longxiang's building materials! ]

[Wait, my house also uses his building materials. Let me add that my house was the least affected by the disaster.]

[? ]
