As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. She was born in a superior family, and Helen, who had never really seen the true nature of these things, was easily fooled by those hateful servants.
Asuna couldn't help but laugh.
Because of this kind of thing, it is not just their family. In Chester, many children from middle-class families receive superior education since childhood. When they grow up, with the help of their parents’ connections, it is relatively easy to obtain superior jobs or inherit the family inheritance.
shops and businesses.
They are said to be middle class, but in fact their economic strength is no more than that of the small aristocrats in the countryside.
This has caused many children of the new generation of middle-class families to have good food and clothing since they were young, and they have never touched the good things with their hands, so they have servants deceiving their masters.
When Asuna went to complain, she discovered that this situation was not limited to her family, but also happened to many families. After detailed investigation, it was finally discovered that there was a huge industrial chain behind it.
A market run by underground forces purchases cheap ingredients from various places every day, giving kickbacks to purchasing servants to earn the price difference.
After the incident was exposed, the underground force was suppressed by the Chester Police Department with thunderous means, and all those responsible were arrested.
It is known from the accounts that this underground force has made hundreds of thousands of dollars in just the past five years, involving more than ten thousand families. Among them, the servants in the worst condition have embezzled thousands of dollars from their employers.
It was a sensation.
"No wonder Cassie asked me to resign early in the morning."
Helen suddenly understood and said.
Asuna patted Helen's people and started to browse the market. The two of them bought a lot of things, then handed them over to the servants and headed to the third floor.
"The things you buy here are good, not to mention fresh, and the invoices are stamped with the stamp of the right market. In the future, just ask the servants to come here to purchase. Just check the purchase list when you go back. If you are not sure, you can also ask the supermarket customer service..."
Going up to the third floor, Helen was shocked by the dazzling array of products. The clean and tidy products were arranged in an orderly manner. Many of the things she had seen at the Wenxin Chamber of Commerce before, but when she saw them again, Helen couldn't help but want to choose.
There are also dozens of types and colors of dinner plates on one shelf for customers to choose from.
After shopping all the way, the two ladies unknowingly bought something worth more than ten dollars.
When checking out, Asuna took out a red card. After the cashier scanned it with an unknown magic device next to her, the cashier immediately showed a decent smile.
"Thank you Shenghui! Ms. Asuna, there are nine wests, seven cards and three promises in total."
On the way, Helen asked curiously: "Obviously the price of the things we bought was more than thirteen dollars, why did it only cost nine dollars in the end?"
Asuna took out a red card and handed it to Helen.
"Membership cards are divided into junior members, intermediate members and senior members."
"Junior members get a 9.5% discount on items purchased, intermediate members get a 10% discount, and senior members get an 8.5% discount. There is also door-to-door delivery service."
After Asuna finished speaking, she saw an employee wearing RT-Mart work clothes using a small cart to push the things they bought.
"What if there are no members?" Helen glanced at the small cart and asked.
Asuna said: "Buy at the original price, unless there is a promotion product, otherwise there will be no discount. I suggest you also buy a premium membership. You should have seen how busy the cashier is just now. Premium members also have exclusive channels, so you don't have to talk to ordinary people.
Huddle together.”
Helen asked: "How much does membership cost?"
"Junior members get one item and five cards per year. Intermediate members get five items and senior members get twenty items. They can also receive RT-Mart's product discounts every week. Twenty items seems like a lot, but considering the 8.5% discount, like
If you do this today, you will save money after buying a few times.”
After Helen thought for a while, she also turned around and went back to apply for a senior membership card.
………………
Inside the top floor office of RT-Mart.
Munster stared at the membership card fees that kept coming. In just two days, there were tens of thousands of senior membership cards, 30,000 intermediate membership cards, and tens of thousands of junior membership cards.
With more than 500,000 US dollars in the account, what kind of business can make money so quickly? As for RT-Mart's overloaded operations in the past few days, it has become the second best.
"What is the master's brain made of?"
After sorting out the membership card accounts, Munster got up and went home.
The amount involved is too large, so the owner must be notified in advance.
When Aslan saw the membership fees brought by the RT-Mart membership card, he was also surprised. He did not expect that the people in Chester were so rich.
Twenty dollars was a lot of money for the middle class. How could there be so many, he soon understood.
If multiple people buy together, a family spending five dollars to buy a senior membership card is better than a mid-level membership card.
"I'll leave it to you to deal with how to curb the joint purchase of membership cards. I believe you won't disappoint me." Aslan read the account list and completely handed over the follow-up work to Manster.
Aslan's business is now well established. As he becomes richer and richer, more and more people have interests involved with him. Even if Aslan's abnormal behavior was discovered that day, in order to maintain those interests, these
People will also pretend not to see it, and even help Aslan cover it up.
This is Aslan's ultimate goal. As long as all this is achieved, Lancelot can more easily lead people to infiltrate the central plain.
When the intelligence network spreads throughout the central plains, it can enter the second stage and create class conflicts in the central plains.
The life of the lower class people in the central plains is not good. With the development of industry, the situation of exploitation has become more serious and life has become more and more difficult.
On the contrary, the lives of the middle class and the upper ruling class are getting better and better, which will become an irreconcilable class conflict between the two.
These contradictions can be suppressed under the deterrence of force and the military, but as the people at the bottom also have force, such contradictions will inevitably break out.
The third stage is to cultivate the spokespersons of the lower class people, increase the training of civilian professionals, and allow the lower class people to give birth to their own strong people who can speak for the lower class people.
Aslan wrote down an action plan on paper that could be planned in advance at this stage.
