Wal-Mart Supermarket, since it was opened a month ago, has an average turnover of more than 300 ,ooo yuan. This news greatly stimulated all suppliers. This new business model soon became popular in Jingcheng. At the end of the month, Nie Zhenbang paid up without any arrears, which was very refreshing for the suppliers. At this time, the last thing Wal-Mart Supermarket lacked was cash flow. To cut off Wal-Mart Supermarket’s follow-up supply for this small amount of money was not something Nie Zhenbang would do.
“Zhenbang, things are not going well. A supermarket named Fu Family has just opened less than 500 meters away from ours. The business area is not small, it has tens of thousands of square meters, and I’ve found out who the boss behind the scenes is. It’s Zhou Chen! It seems this kid is bent on competing against us,” Yang Anbang rushed in, with the opening of the Fu Family
Supermarket, Wal-Mart Supermarket’s turnover has also decreased a lot. Although it only decreased by a few tens of thousands of yuan, it was enough to make Yang Anbang feel anxious.
Aside, Nie Jiamin, who had come to learn, raised his eyebrows on hearing it was Zhou Chen, “Zhou Chen? This guy must be itching for a fight. How dare he compete with us? Zhenbang, I’ll immediately call someone and smash his store.”
“Jiamin, what on earth are you yelling about? You think you are the only big boss in the city? If you can smash it, can’t Zhou Chen smash it too? His supermarket has just opened. But our business is booming. Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who do. If it comes to the worst, we can quit altogether,” reasoned Xiao Yali who had matured a lot compared with before through a few months of training.
However, Nie Zhenbang, laughed, Yang Anbang at this moment was not as composed as he was in his previous life, and his cultivation was not yet at the point where he could remain unfazed when faced with a formidable crisis .
Zhou Chen? At this moment, Nie Zhenbang seemed very relaxed, “Brother, Jiamin. Don’t worry. If others want to open, can we stop them? Competition promotes development. As the first supermarket, we can’t stop others from imitating. We can only solve the problem by ourselves. Since he wants to imitate, let him always eat our dust. Check out this membership card plan, what do you think?”
With that, Nie Zhenbang handed his newly devised membership card plan to Yang Anbang. After reading the entire membership card plan, Yang Anbang also laughed with joy, “Zhenbang, I was wondering why you were so calm. Turns out you have an ace up your sleeve, once this membership card is launched, and the points plan is implemented, these customers will become loyal customers of our supermarket and it would be impossible for others to take them away.”
Nie Zhenbang also laughed at this moment, and then said, “Imitation is just a basic thought. What we at Wal-Mart want to do is to stay at the forefront of the industry. Brother, we alone are not enough. Jingcheng is only so big, and there are only five supermarkets now. Four have not even opened yet, and we are already busy. If we expand to the whole north, and even the whole country, aren’t we going to be stretched too thin? Proactive involvement is a good habit.
However, cultivating our own talent is what we need to do. To compete with Wal-Mart in the United States and Carrefour in France, we should step up our talents reserve now.”
After this period of training, Yang Anbang’s talent in business has also gradually emerged. With the success of his business, Yang Anbang’s position in the Yang family has also gradually improved. Elder Yang has already stopped interfering in Yang Anbang’s affairs. For Yang Anbang, this was undoubtedly liberating his hands and feet.
“Zhenbang, are we just going to let that Zhou Chen’s supermarket be?” Yang
Anbang still couldn’t quite accept it. Zhou Chen was nothing notable, and the Zhou family was just a slightly above-average family in Jingcheng, a notch below the Yang family, and even more inferior to the Nie family. Such behavior was tantamount to a slap in his face. Yang Anbang couldn’t swallow this.
Fu Family Supermarket, the name itself indicated Zhou Chen’s intention, it was purely to challenge him. The business place of Fu Family Supermarket used to be Zhongcheng District Materials Bureau’s warehouse of three layers. Each layer had a nearly 10,000 square meter area. Even Nie Zhenbang was quite enamored of this location.
“Hehe, second brother, don’t be in such a hurry. Opening a supermarket is not just about doing business, especially at such a sensitive time. Zhou Chen is just doing this out of spite, don’t worry, that place will eventually be ours.” Nie Zhenbang laughed confidently.
With the simultaneous opening of the other four Wal-Mart Supermarkets in Jingcheng, the implementation of the membership card plan immediately captured the consumption mindset of the public. The daily turnover of the five supermarkets totaled to an astonishing 1.3 million yuan. This was a veritable money-printing machine.
At the end of this year, in various meetings, the head of state gave speeches on “Opposing Bourgeois Liberalization” and sharply criticized this type of behavior. At the same time, conservatives at home also started to attack the policy of reform and opening up for this reason.
For a time, the atmosphere in the whole country became tense. From municipal to provincial departments, confrontations between conservatives and reformers were seen everywhere. This atmosphere in the central government became even more intense.
Both conservatives and reformists attacked each other. Various circle meetings were secretly taking place.

The residence of the leader is located here. At this moment, in the study of the leader in Mei Xiang Park. Several bigwigs from the central government sat solemnly.
Elder Yang looked at the slightly solemn expression of the leader. He was a bit nervous. As early as November, the old master of the Ye family passed away. Ye Lao, as a reformist force, his departure was a significant blow to the reformists. At this time, if the conservatives mobilized the army, the entire nation would be in turmoil. Elder Yang couldn’t help but worry.
“Leader, the National Party Congress is about to convene soon, Our Comrade Zhaohua is about to step down. The conservatives mean business this time. Comrade Xuri is very ambitious. It seems like he is determined to take the position,” Elder Yang expressed his concerns.
Several central bigwigs nodded their heads in agreement at the side, their gazes all turned to the leader. As the leader of the army, and the promoter of the nation’s reform and opening policies, the leader’s decision was the decision of the reformists. This was undeniable.
At this moment, the leader shook his head slightly, his modest height radiating a sense of confidence. He emphasized in his unique accent, “The military does not interfere in politics. This is the iron law of our party, whether it is me or Old Nie, we still have this awareness. The country’s stability cannot change at this time. The international situation is very complex. Since the conservatives are so steadfast, I think we can take things slow. This position, we can let go.
We should still push for reform, and continue opening up.”
The leader’s words were very clear. Since the conservatives wanted the highest leadership position in the party so desperately, let them compete for it. As long as the nation is stable, the reformists will continue doing what they ought to do. There is no change in that.
With the arrival of the New Year, Comrade Zhaohua officially stepped down from his highest leadership position in the party. At the same time, the conservatives operated at full strength. Comrade Xuri was officially elected as the highest leader of the party.
Just when the conservatives were celebrating, within the Zhou family, the atmosphere was heavy. As the neutral party, the Zhou family always adopted a non-biased policy. Under such circumstances, both the conservatives and reformists wanted to win the Zhou family over. The Zhou family felt like a fish in water. However, during this critical moment, Zhou Chen, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, decided to open a supermarket. This was a typical reformist move. With the victory of the conservatives, the Zhou family faced unprecedented pressure. Old Master Zhou was also mobilized into action.
“Kneel!”
With a roar from Old Master Zhou, Zhou Chen quickly kneeled down. Old Master Zhou, like Zhou Chen, was originally a political worker, but later transferred to local government. Over the years, they have become a deeply rooted family in local government. However, Old Master Zhou had a fiery temper.
Zhou Chen looked at his grandfather, then turned his gaze to his parents and respectfully knelt down. At this moment, even Zhou Chen’s parents wouldn’t dare to irk the old man.
“Ignorant and arrogant thing. Following suit and opening a supermarket. What does money count for? In front of power, all money is a paper tiger. I give you ten days to close this damn supermarket. It’s not your turn to call the shots at the Zhou family. After closing, you go to the grassroots level in Chunan for training. If you don’t do well, you do not come back.” Old Master Zhou roared angrily. At this point, under the pressure of the conservatives, the old man could only show the Zhou family’s attitude in this way..
