Chapter 389: Chinatown
Qianmen Street is the heart of DìDū, and even people who have never been to DìDū know this place.
Especially in this era, the era of hero worship, it is even more so, because there is a big hero in the eyes of the people of the whole country.
"Okay, I'm not going to talk to you, I'll go shopping first, and I'll have time to play in Chinatown. â
"Oh! â
The girl walked a few steps, then stopped and looked back at Ye Lin and said, "My name is Xu Manli." â
After saying that, he ran into the supermarket, Ye Lin shook his head, and didn't take it seriously.
Of course Ye Lin wants to go to Chinatown, but not now, because he still wants to open a supermarket in Chinatown.
After all, there are many Chinese in Chinatown, although these Chinese can no longer be regarded as Chinese, but everyone has the same blood, and they are all descendants of the dragon.
After Xu Manli entered, Ye Lin also turned around and left, the reason why he came here today was because it opened today, otherwise he wouldn't have come at all.
And even though he came, he only came to have a look, and he didn't even go in.
In the next few days, there were frequent good news in the supermarket! How much money was sold every day, and how much income was made, these were what Ye Lin was more concerned about.
Ye Lin knows that the reason why supermarkets are so popular is because this is the first supermarket in New York City, which is not to say that there are no supermarkets in this era, but there are no supermarkets in New York, or even in the United States.
In 1979, the first supermarket in Paris, France, was Carrefour.
Feeling that the supermarket was really making money, Ye Lin immediately asked Radish to register a company, Yikelong Department Store Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 20 million US dollars.
Specially used to open supermarkets, the purpose of Ekro supermarket is to allow customers to spend the least amount of money and buy the best things.
may be the concept that made the supermarket so popular when it first opened, mainly because Ye Lin set the profit too low.
But he can't help it, because he just started doing it, whether it is the purchase channel or whatever, it is more expensive than other stores.
As long as he sets the price a little higher, it may be more expensive than other places, so he can only manipulate the profits.
But Ye Lin knew that as long as Yikelong continued to do it, he would soon be able to get cheap goods like other chain stores, and there would be entrance fees to take.
At that time, the profits will come up, and besides, there will be a lot of money now! Although the profits are low, there are many things sold, and this can be regarded as a small profit but quick turnover.
A week later, Radish registered the company, Ye Lin took the company license, looked at Radish and said, "Otherwise, if you go to work in the company, I will become an employee." â
Ye Lin is really idle, but it's not wrong to say this, he is indeed idle, he doesn't need to take care of the farm, he doesn't need to take care of the investment company, even the supermarket is the same, he is not idle.
"Master, I think you'd better go to Tom's investment company! Besides, haven't you been giving advice to Tom's investment company?"
Just kidding, who is Ye Lin! That's his boss, if Ye Lin goes to the company, he will probably feel uncomfortable.
"I know, but the investment company doesn't need me to go, I can just call if there's anything, but the department store is different, I can help you run errands or something. Ye Lin shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Poof, Master, or you will still manage the department store! I'll run errands for you. â
"Forget it. â
Ye Lin likes behind-the-scenes manipulation, he doesn't like to appear at the front desk, to put it bluntly, he is lazy, and he likes to be a shopkeeper.
Let him manage, isn't that a joke!
In addition, because Tom and Radish are not highly educated, the company still hires professional managers, and Tom and Radish are just names.
Only when there is a big event, they need to come forward, and they report to Ye Lin first, and then wait for Ye Lin to make a decision, to put it mildly, the two of them are actually puppets.
But even if they are puppets, they are also the top person in charge of the company, and no matter which company Ye Lin goes to, they will be very uncomfortable.
"Give me my car keys, you two will buy a car tomorrow, as the CEO of the company, you can't even have a car!"
"Uh, Master, the car is very expensive. Radish said.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't let you spend your own money and take the company's accounts. â
"No, Master, I didn't mean that, I mean that the company is in the development stage now, so let's wait to buy a car!"
"No, you are the person in charge of the company, if you don't even have a car, is it like saying it? A car is also a manifestation of strength, just as I said, you will buy a car tomorrow." â
"Yes, Master. â
"Alright, go ahead! I want to do something. â
"Oh, let's go first. â
"Well, I don't have to come to the farm less in the future, and the CEOs of the two companies can't run to the farm at every turn, what is it like? â
"Uh! Yes, Master. â
Tom and Radish now have a place to live in New York, but these two guys still like to go back to the farm, which is a headache for Ye Lin.
This is the farm, what would you think if someone saw it?
After the two of them left, Ye Lin also drove out, he didn't want to go to the company, but wanted to find something to do for himself.
He doesn't want to manage the company, mainly because he doesn't want to be exposed, but it's okay to stay every day, and he has finished reading all the books in the study.
Although there are a lot of books in the library, he can't stop him from reading them faster!
Reading in the space for an hour is equivalent to reading for a day, and the books Ye Lin reads are all useful books, and as for those useless books, he doesn't read them.
There are a lot of books, but how many are really useful, so now Ye Lin is idle, and at the same time, he can't be idle.
Ye Lin drove around New York City and came to Chinatown, which is of course not as prosperous as it was in later generations.
Mott Street, that is, the center of Chinatown, Ye Lin came here today, and the reason why he came here was to see if he could rent a store here.
Although he said that he didn't go to work in the company anymore, it was still okay to help the company find a store, and he didn't have anything to do anyway, so he should find something to do for himself.
But after a round in Chinatown, Ye Lin was disappointed, because there were no stores where supermarkets could be opened.
To open a supermarket, at least you need a store of more than 1,000 square meters! But look here, not to mention thousands of square meters, there are very few hundreds of square meters.
It's not suitable for opening a supermarket at all, but Ye Lin didn't run in vain, because he rented a storefront here.
Isn't he having nothing to do now! In that case, why not find something to do, and Ye Lin has already thought about it, he wants to open a shop here.
Not only to open, but also to open according to the future generations of self-selected supermarkets, although this is very risky, after all, there is no surveillance, no cameras.
To put it mildly, if one doesn't pay attention, it is likely that something will be run away by you, but Ye Lin is still ready to open it, because he believes that there are only a few people who steal things after all.
And this is Chinatown, even if there is stealing, it is estimated that life is forced, although most of the people living here are no longer Chinese, but so said also Chinese.
If someone really stole it, Ye Lin would treat it as a relief for them, anyway, he didn't expect to make money here, just find something to do for himself.
Besides, it was impossible for Ye Lin to lose money, because there were many things that he took out of the space, and there was no cost at all.
After renting the store, Ye Lin found someone to decorate this place, the store is not big, less than 100 square meters, Ye Lin is going to make this place into three areas.
The department store area is some daily necessities.
The fruit area, this is all taken from the space, and there is no need to enter at all, as for some fruits that are not available, he can plant them now.
The fresh food area is also taken from the space, pork, beef and mutton, chicken, duck and geese, and of course, all kinds of aquatic products.
These things in Ye Lin's space are flooded, and there is no way to sell them in China, but it's different here, as long as you have it, you can sell it as you want, and no one cares about you at all.
The department store area is the largest, with about 60 square meters.
The fruit area is smaller, only about ten square meters, because it is just selling fruits, this era is not like later generations, it is imported fruits at every turn, and the fruits sold in this era are basically owned by the country, so there are not many varieties.
Ten square meters can be said to be completely sufficient, and even a little rich.
The fresh area is a little bigger, because Ye Lin not only sells all kinds of fresh meat, but also aquatic products, and Ye Lin has made dozens of water tanks that sell aquatic products alone.
Fortunately, the water tank he made was multi-layered, otherwise it really wouldn't fit, because it was a self-selected store, so Ye Lin didn't plan to hire someone, he was going to do it alone.
Half a month later, the store was renovated, and Ye Lin made a phone call and delivered a carload of goods, which of course was pulled from the warehouse of Ekro Supermarket.
Ye Lin asked them to unload all the goods into the store, and then pulled down the roller shutter door from the inside and locked it, and began to put the goods away, which was too simple for Ye Lin.
Put the department store into the space first, and then walk through the shelves, these goods are already on the shelves, which is not messy, but has been classified in the space.
After the department store is finished, it is fruits, which are simpler because there are fewer varieties.
Next is aquatic products, which are all alive, and the water tank is all water in the space, which is still more adaptable.
And most of these fish are not domestic fish, but live fish that Ye Lin was going to open a store and sell in the market some time ago, and then bred in space.
After putting all kinds of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs into the tank, Ye Lin thought about it and still didn't take out the meat, although he said that he had already bought a refrigerator, but it was better to wait until the door was opened before taking it out, after all, it looked fresh after all.
