Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 2145: Chapter 1967: A Winning Start

Soon.

The opening time arrived.

“Beep!”

The red light on the access control turned green.

“You can enter now.”

As the staff’s voice fell, people in line entered in an orderly fashion. To ensure a good shopping experience, only thirty people could enter at the same time.

The interior of the shop is not small, over 150 square meters.

Quite spacious.

After entering.

The customers looked around, with some snapping photos right away.

“This shelf is quite thick.”

“Takes up some space.”

“Indeed.”

“This is not an ordinary shelf. Haven’t you noticed the floor inside is significantly higher than outside? I heard the shelves can automatically restock.”

“Really?”

“Impressive.”

“Let me try.”

With that.

Someone emptied one of the shelves.

A few others gathered around.

A minute later.

“…”

No movement.

A bit awkward.

Suddenly.

Slapping his forehead.

“I get it. We only took them without paying, so it’s not considered out of stock, thus no automatic restocking. That’s it.”

“Why design it this way?”

Someone was puzzled.

“Exactly, if it’s emptied, it means high customer demand. At least restock one item.”

This statement.

Gained recognition from those around.

In response.

The person who proposed initially shook his head, “Don’t forget whose project this is—Tang Qing’s. The aim of this project is not to make money.”

“Thus.”

“The focus is on broad experience and doesn’t support this rush-buying model.”

Suddenly.

The surrounding people realized.

Indeed.

It wasn’t for profit but for everyone’s experience, hence not strongly supporting emptying the shelves, so restocking is a bit slow.

“Alright.”

“Don’t just stand there.”

“If you see something you like, buy it, there’re still a lot of people outside watching.”

Upon hearing.

Everyone looked towards the glass door, there indeed were many resentful gazes, as if saying: what the hell are you doing in there? Hurry up!

Everyone understood and started selecting products.

Grabbed one casually.

Arrived at the cashier.

Identification.

Payment.

Complete.

“Really convenient.”

“If I actually used cash, I’d be unaccustomed.”

“Same here.”

“Mobile payment is truly a great thing, yet it feels like spending money is faster than before. It’s a mixed bag; painless consumption has its downside.”

“Yes, yes.”

“I heard there’s one in Wanwan too?”

“Right, in TaiBei City, and it opened at the same time today. Tang Qing plans to cover all provinces with unmanned supermarkets, truly doing a fine job.”

“Haha, that’s right!”

Now.

WeChat is rising too quickly.

Even in Wanwan.

Many are using it, especially merchants. Travelers are so accustomed to domestic mobile payment, merchants undoubtedly would cater to them.

After using it, they find it convenient too.

Wave after wave.

More and more conscious, quickly selecting and quickly checking out, having experienced standing outside just now, deeply knowing the outsiders’ sentiments.

Better not get cursed in people’s hearts, even if you can’t hear it.

“I feel like this item can be collected.”

“Don’t want to drink it.”

“Same here.”

Seeing the product weight slightly off from normal, many feel like they found a misprinted coin, perfectly worthy to keep at home.

All custom-made editions.

“Indeed, Tang Qing is truly different, really like it.”

“But the manufacturers probably want to cry, precisely down to every gram.”

“Haha, indeed.”

“…”

The novel experience left those who tried it very satisfied, though there weren’t as many goods as a real big supermarket, but that was a minor thing.

They came here not to buy, but to experience, so whether the goods were complete didn’t matter; they left happily one by one.

Taking photos.

Posting on Moments.

Sharing.

…

At this moment.

Behind the shop.

Separated by just a wall, a few employees were loading goods, journalists were present as well, watching boxes of products being packed into cargo ports, the camera snapping away.

The staff explained:

“In an unmanned supermarket, loading goods doesn’t require going inside.”

“It can be done here.”

“They’ll automatically go where they need for restocking. Considering it’s an experience shop, we currently don’t support purchasing large quantities of single-item goods.”

“Hence.”

“For everyday shopping, we still recommend major supermarkets.”

In this way.

Is to push customers out. But now there’s a huge demand for experience, and actually, the company’s greatest hope is each one entering only buys one item.

To ease stocking pressure.

“…”

The journalists were speechless.

Having money.

Surely is willful. It’s not too hard to understand, though this supermarket is large, its daily profit only equals selling a few mobile phones?

Qingyuan Technology earns lavishly by the day.

If she were in Tang Qing’s position, she’d also overlook this petty income.

“Fully customized, is your procurement cost relatively high?”

“Yes.”

“Compared with current mass products, our cost is about twenty-five percent higher, but since we source from manufacturers, selling at regular prices won’t incur loss.”

If an ordinary company made such precise demands to a manufacturer, they’d definitely be chased out, but no one dares disrespect Tang Qing.

Entering the unmanned supermarket is not them begging the manufacturer.

On the contrary.

The manufacturers eagerly await them.

First.

There’s the advertisement effect of the unmanned supermarket.

Secondly.

Tang Qing’s subsidiaries across companies almost all have cafeterias and shops, and the daily consumption figures are massive numbers, solid large clients.

Lastly.

With Tang Qing’s reputation.

Since it doesn’t cost them extra, they are naturally willing.

…

At night.

Villa.

“Today, thirty-six unmanned supermarkets, nearly all goods sold out, receiving over 150,000 customers, sales profit of 350,000.”

“…”

“All equipment operated normally.”

“…”

“Cargo loss valued over 8500, marking three hundred and five suspect thefts, entry qualification applications have been suspended, reminders will be sent collectively tomorrow.”

“…”

Listening to the report.

Tang Qing nodded.

Nice.

A good start, although the profit wasn’t much, it was still quite good; thirty-six stores, all had customers in one day, with a single store’s daily profit close to ten thousand.

Already quite high.

After all.

The supermarket’s goods are limited, calling it a supermarket, it’s actually more like a convenience store. It doesn’t sell home appliances, fresh food, fruits, vegetables, and such.

Not even tobacco.

Therefore.

Ten thousand a day is already quite good.

As for suspected theft, the term wasn’t used incorrectly. Some people are just curious, wanting to try not paying to see what would happen, purely out of curiosity.

Not with the aim of possession.

Hence.

Left some face, suspect theft; after issuing reminders tomorrow, a portion might be recovered, not that Tang Qing cares about these losses, but for procedures.

Since they’re all established inside large malls.

Crowded.

This kind of behavior shouldn’t be too frequent in the future, given entry is real-name based.
