Chapter 53: Newcomers are on fire!
Du Feiyu spread out the map, and the results of his efforts in the past few days were truthfully recorded on the map.
Inspired by Bai's previous memos, Du Feiyu magnified the map of Huayang Night Market several times, using various symbols and colors to represent different types of stalls.
In this way, the spatial and temporal distribution of the relevant stalls is fully displayed.
The most important dozens of pancake stalls, dozens of barbecue stalls, and several stalls selling literary and entertainment knick-knacks are all illuminated by Du Feiyu.
In addition to the location distribution marked in red, the taste, the flow of customers, the business hours of the stall owners, and the means of attracting customers were all explained by Du Feiyu one by one, and even the personality and gender of the stall owners, and the style of the starters, were all recorded by Du Feiyu.
Compared with Ah Bai's essay records, this information has been improved from all angles, and it can be truly called a report.
If Du Feiyu was proficient in data technology, he would definitely find that he had inadvertently done an original version of big data collation.
There are no computer-built models, and there is no complete census of data.
Du Feiyu just relied on a pen, two maps, and the ability to fly in the air to complete an attempt to get close to the real situation.
"That looks like ...... Sure enough, it will feel different. Li Mubai stared at those marks for a long time, "Lao Du, I think you must have something to say." ”
Du Feiyu sighed:
"Shouldn't you be throwing bricks at this time? Forget it, I said. ”
He pointed to his hand and said:
"You see, there are dozens of barbecue stalls, mainly located on the second and third streets, and this area near the square is an area with fierce competition. ”
"Well, the skewers there are tumbling like the ocean. Li Mubai responded, "But unfortunately, we are at this street corner, far away from that place." ”
"Yes. Except for the vicinity of the square, the density of stalls in other places is actually more reasonable. If we make kebabs, the competition should not be as serious as the old nonsense in the case of such a dense flow of people. ”
Ah Bai nodded thoughtfully.
"Does that mean that fierce competition happens in the whole but not in the local area? That is, we don't need to think about the competition as a whole at all, we just need to think about how to compete with people on the same street?"
"Yes. Du Feiyu affirmed again.
"The guests went to the next street, and we couldn't pull it even if we shouted at the top of our lungs, it was just indirect competition. But vendors on the same street are competing for business face-to-face, which is direct competition. Direct competition is the only thing to pay attention to. ”
Li Mubai knocked on the table and said:
"It seems that the truth is already obvious. Then according to your picture, let me take a look...... As a pancake shop, we have three competitors, as a kebab shop, we have five, and this Abai's paper fan shop ......"
"None of the competitors?!"
Li Mubai felt a little strange. And Ah Bai smiled:
"Actually, there is. But most of it is concentrated in the art districts of the second and fourth streets, as well as the edge of the square. There is no such thing on the third street. ”
"And you see, the distance between these eight competitors and us. Du Feiyu pointed again, "There are three shops at the end of this street, but we are at the front of this street." ”
"I see, you're trying to say that each stall has its own sphere of influence, right? ”
After Li Mubai finished speaking, he still wanted to wait for Du Feiyu's opinion.
But Du Feiyu sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm so smart, what else do I have to say? I wanted you to be a foreshadowing, but now it's me throwing bricks. ”
Ah Bai and Li Mubai both laughed.
The three of them, just talking and laughing, completely overturned the common sense that small businessmen had always believed.
Huayang Night Market is not a cruel market without a foothold.
That's just a way for businessmen who don't have the ability to scare themselves and others.
These merchants, without observing, without thinking, simply deceived by the lights of the prosperity of the whole market, easily draw conclusions.
They seldom consider their own faults, and just blindly shift the blame to the competition of Huayang Night Market.
But competition, in fact, can be reduced to zero.
Du Feiyu remembered a cup of mixed corn juice that he bought on the street a long time ago.
The corn juice mixed with carrot juice tastes excellent, and the shopkeeper uses good ingredients.
But apart from making his own corn juice, he would just boredly put up a poster and occasionally talk to guests about how healthy the corn juice was.
Du Feiyu suggested that he walk out of the store and develop takeaways, but the owner just shook his head.
After some time, when Du Feiyu remembered the corn juice again, the shop was closed.
Many opportunities are always treated as crises entirely, and then they will only survive, and they will only be dealt with passively.
Du Feiyu felt that Lao Hu probably made this kind of mistake.
"It's time for us to go public and prove it. Du Feiyu said with a smile.
“...... Listing?" said Bai, puzzled.
"Yes, the meaning of listing is to go to the night market. ”
......
Bamboo skewers, charcoal, grills, iron clips, brushes, the preparation has already been done.
Since Du Feiyu had sold breakfast and non-staple food for a period of time before, many equipment were available early.
The three of them took dozens of catties of meat from Liu Yao and skewered them together. In the summer, the meat is perishable, so Ah Bai temporarily sealed the meat skewers with cold ice and piled them on the tricycle.
Of course, a series of ingredients such as flour, vegetables, and cooking oil for pancakes are also indispensable.
On the morning of August 2, with all the equipment, Du Feiyu and Ah Bai came to the big market early, waiting for the morning fog to be pierced by the morning sun.
The early morning night market is devoid of pedestrians, with a few vendors selling breakfast.
Du Feiyu took the opportunity to fry the finger cake. The aroma of pork belly and malt wafted out, and even he himself became appetizing.
But the aroma of the finger cake can hardly hide the lightness of the business.
Today is a working day.
Night markets are not a must-visit place for office workers. You can even think of it as a scenic spot on its own.
Unless it is a celebrity breakfast restaurant, or an idler, it is possible to visit such a morning hour.
Then the light business at this time is also expected.
Du Feiyu just waited indifferently, flipping through the book and turning his face, without any impatience.
Read a page of a book, add a slice of meat, hum a song, sell a loaf.
Ah Bai was there arranging a box of folding fans, pulling on the oilcloth, and wanted to isolate another stall next to Du Feiyu's stall.
They don't see the outside at all, but the vendors around them are a little outside.
The vendors know each other, and they know Lao Hu too.
But Lao Hu moved away the day before yesterday, and the pair of young men and women who replaced him had a strange temperament.
It's not like a hawker, it's like a tourist. In every gesture, there is no such hard-working posture as a small vendor, but it is as indifferent as playing in the mountains and rivers.
Everyone was curious, whispered, and looked at each other, but no one came to say anything to their faces.
There are wary eyes, there are strange eyes, but the most are tentative eyes.
Du Feiyu knew that this was a normal phenomenon for newcomers to arrive.
"It's okay, in a few days, you'll all know me. ”
Du Feiyu thought secretly in his heart.
And just like that, the night fell, and the dull day officially came to an end.
"Sect Master, night is coming. ”
"I know. ”
Du Feiyu replied. The excitement of the night was agitated little by little in his and Ah Bai's bodies.
"How?"
Ah Bai asked.
"First things first...... Of course it's eye-catching. ”
Du Feiyu concentrated, and then swept his left hand. The flames in the furnace suddenly rose and turned into a blazing pillar of fire three or four meters high!
"Now, let's start our bonfire night!"
