Chapter 639: Chapter 263 Grand Opening of the Shopping Mall_2
"Oh, damn, now that you mention it, I need to buy shoes too. I’m a Speed Ability User, I wear out shoes the fastest."
"And socks too. Old Wang, how many years has it been since you washed your socks? Hurry up and buy a few pairs to change into."
...
Hu Weimin pulled his wife Liu Xiuxian straight to the household goods section.
Liu Xiuxian held a list in her hand and said anxiously, "Shouldn’t we buy oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar first?"
Hu Weimin looked back and said, "Look at the length of the line over there. If we go line up, who knows when we’ll get to the front? We might as well buy other things first. At least we need to complete the list."
Liu Xiuxian thought it over and agreed. Looking back at the bustling hall, she couldn’t help but marvel, "Business is really booming. Mr. Liang’s shopping center is definitely going to be a hit."
"Isn’t that obvious? This is the only shopping center in all of Yangshan. Do you know what times we are living in now?"
"It’s the apocalypse, it’s a great flood. Many people can barely get enough to eat. Mr. Liang actually gathered so many supplies and built such a big supermarket. I truly admire him to no end." Hu Weimin was full of emotions, admiration written all over his face.
With so many supplies, it’s not just about gathering them, even moving them back takes a lot of effort.
"Thank goodness we followed Mr. Liang. If we were still in the building, we’d probably have starved to death by now." Liu Xiuxian was also full of emotion.
While they were talking, their son Hu Tutu quickly turned around and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I found the wire and the pliers!"
Hu Weimin was immediately overjoyed, "Quick, tell the guide we want to buy them, get more wire."
Liu Xiuxian couldn’t help but ask, "Do we really need that much?"
"We’re weaving the steamer with Fire Bamboo, we can’t do without wire."
"That’s called taking the time to sharpen the axe. The tools got to be prepared."
"We have some Points on hand, we’ll save a part, later open a bun shop in the food area on the first floor, and also save some for winter supplies, like flour."
"Hmm, I’ll listen to you, honey."
On the other side, Granny Li finally squeezed into the front of the line and bought a lot of household goods.
She looked back but couldn’t see her husband Ma Guocai anywhere.
Granny Li stomped angrily, "That old guy, he’s gone as soon as I turn around."
She quickly found an attendant, paid the Points, and would queue to get the goods when she left.
Then she rushed to the household goods area.
From a distance, she saw Ma Guocai standing in front of a less crowded shop.
Granny Li hurried over, shouting, "Old Ma, what are you doing? Everyone else is buying winter clothes and shoes, why are you here? What’s this shop selling?"
As she spoke, she peered inside.
Then she saw the shop was filled with a wide array of medical products and supplies.
Old Ma excitedly took out a receipt and showed it to Granny Li with a smile, "Liang Yuan is incredible; he really got insulin, insulin needles, and a blood glucose meter!"
"Honey, you can finally control your blood sugar." Old Ma was overjoyed.
Granny Li’s eyes reddened. She quickly asked, "This must have cost a lot of Points, right?"
Old Ma immediately said, "Isn’t earning Points just for spending? Liang Yuan takes good care of us old folks. The job he gave us is pretty good. You’re leading so many people to farm over by Xiaosong, you get over a thousand Points a month."
"I’m in logistics with the patrol team, getting 1,000 Points too. With 2,000 Points, we can definitely make ends meet."
Granny Li wiped her tears, feeling genuinely happy.
"We owe it all to Xiaoliang..."
The Yangshan Shopping Center had truly become a sensation in Yangshan.
The spending power of thousands of people was considerable. However, even so, the shopping center didn’t run out of stock, and everyone bought what they wanted.
Because of this, the Points they had accumulated over the past month were basically all spent.
Many people couldn’t buy everything they wanted because they ran out of Points.
So, some people started asking around, wanting to borrow some Points.
But at this time, who would be willing to lend out Points?
Everyone wanted to take advantage of the discounts at the Yangshan Shopping Center’s grand opening and spend big.
"Sister Zhuang, Sister Zhuang, they’ve run out of Points. Many people are looking to borrow Points." Luo Hongmian immediately turned to call Zhuang Shuyuan.
Bai Zhirui also hurried back, saying, "Sister Zhuang, I checked, almost everyone has spent most of their Points. Is it time?"
At this moment, Zhuang Shuyuan finally smiled and said, "It’s time."
Then she took out a sign from behind and placed it at the entrance of the shopping center.
"Short-term Points loans, daily interest rate three points. Interested parties inquire within."
People passing by saw this and immediately their eyes lit up, quickly running over.
"Miss, can you lend Points?" a middle-aged man quickly asked.
Zhuang Shuyuan smiled, "It’s not lending, it’s loaning! It means you have to pay me interest."
"What does a daily interest rate of three points mean?" the middle-aged man asked.
"It’s simple, it means if I lend you 100 Points, you have to repay me at an interest rate of three percent per day, which means you return three Points daily."
"I only do short-term loans. You have to pay me back the principal and interest within a month. You’ll need to sign a receipt, and we’ll get the patrol team members as witnesses."
Zhuang Shuyuan’s words made the middle-aged man exclaim, "Isn’t that interest too high? It’s three points a day? If I borrow 1,000 Points, I’d have to give you 30 Points a day? Wouldn’t that be 900 Points for a month?"
