Chapter 16 I can't make up my mind
"Yes, yes. Hua Rui nodded and agreed, "Which area do you plan to open in?" He still remembers the taste of the cup of coffee he drank with Jiang Lei last time in the coffee shop where she worked, with her work experience and skills, whether it is to apply for a store manager at another store or open a store by herself, it is no problem.
Chen Dainan replied honestly: "I haven't considered this yet. At present, she is just thinking of opening her own store, "I want to understand the market environment first, make a comprehensive comparison, and then decide according to my actual situation." After all, the funds for opening a store are limited, and she can't open it wherever she wants.
"It's good, it's safer. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with me. That being said, Hua Rui felt that Chen Dainan should not encounter any big problems.
"Okay, thank you. Chen Dainan took out the mineral water he prepared from his backpack and drank two sips, looked at the two green apples that had rolled to the bottom of the backpack and were not very good-looking, hesitated for a moment, and silently stuffed the mineral water back.
Hua Rui didn't pay much attention to it, and asked casually, "Is your home also out of town?" ”
Chen Dainan's mind was still stuck on the two green apples, "Uh... It's a bit complicated and a bit poignant. Inexplicably, he told Hua Rui about his actual situation, "I am divorced, because the other party cheated, and then my family will not associate with me." After thinking about it, he didn't know Hua Rui well, and even if he knew, it wouldn't be good, let alone spread around.
"Since it's the other party's fault, why doesn't your family associate with you?" Hua Rui was puzzled, he couldn't figure out how to think about this thinking logic.
"In order to force me to remarry, my brother and sister's work were arranged by my ex-in-laws. Speaking of this, Chen Dainan felt funny, Yan Sheng's parents retired at the end of last year, and if she didn't get divorced, they couldn't guarantee Chen Jiawei and Wu Lili's work for a lifetime.
Hua Rui didn't say much about this, only shook his head incredulously.
"Oh, by the way, the day I got divorced was the day we almost got into a car accident. Chen Dainan couldn't help but open her backpack again, and her fingers at the two green apples were about to move. Out of courtesy, she should have given one to Hua Rui, but it seemed a bit rude to give such an ugly apple to others.
"I'm sorry. Thinking back to the situation that night, Hua Rui couldn't help but feel a little abrupt, it was really dangerous at that time, but fortunately both parties were fine.
Chen Dainan turned his head to look at Hua Rui and closed his backpack, "Didn't you say that neither of us is responsible? If you apologize to me, then I have to apologize to you." In addition, thank you and Jiang Lei for always helping me forward the information of the stray dogs in our base, and also helping them find adoptions, thank you very much. "Let's invite them to more coffee in the future, she made it herself.
"You don't have to be so polite, when we were in school, we also volunteered for animal rescue. ”
"Really? No wonder. ”
The two of them chatted for a while later, and Hua Rui looked at the time and prepared to go down the mountain.
Chen Dainan was thinking about opening a store in her heart, and was about to go down the mountain, so the two of them went down the mountain together.
After Chen Dainan went down the mountain, he went straight to the bus stop. Hua Rui drove over and insisted on seeing her off. Chen Dainan didn't want to trouble Hua Rui too much, so she chose a compromise and asked him to take him to the subway station. This way, it is convenient for both of them.
Randomly selected a distance from the city center, but also very lively and bustling area, Chen Dainan wandered along the large, large and small streets, and roughly went through the information of the houses and shops posted outside by various real estate agents who passed by intentionally or unintentionally, and left a concept in his heart.
When she got home in the evening, Chen Dainan thought about it and decided to buy a laptop and come back, and then install a monthly broadband. If she hadn't planned to open her own store, she could have saved the money. But since she wants to open her own store, she can't save this money. With such a big city, she can't walk and see it on her own feet anyway, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious efficiency.
She had a laptop before, and when she first married Yan Sheng, he bought her wedding gifts, so she didn't take them with her. The configuration of that computer is very good, and she wants to buy a similar one, or simply buy an exact one, but she doesn't know how much the price can be discounted after two years.
Because he didn't know much about electronic products, for the sake of insurance, Chen Dainan went directly to the regular electrical appliance mall the next day.
Just in time for the last day of the National Day special event, about 3,000 bought a laptop with decent performance, which was nearly 2,000 cheaper than the one she wanted to buy before.
When I got home, I reported the installation of broadband near my home in the community. However, it was already past noon, and it was too late to pretend that day. Chen Dainan couldn't stay idle, so he changed to an area far away from the city center, and checked the housing and store information posted by real estate agents of all sizes along the street.
The next day, she installed broadband, soaked in the Internet in the morning, and went on a field trip in the afternoon.
After only two days, my mood became a little heavy, and my mind began to be confused, and I hesitated to know whether I should persevere.
Judging from her actual inspection in the past two days, the basic estimate of the store opening funds is as low as two or three hundred thousand, and it is so high that it is impossible to hold on to 500,000 yuan. She can get two or three hundred thousand, but the location of the store is relatively remote, there is little traffic, and the business is deserted. With a good location and a thriving flow of people, she will inevitably have insufficient funds to open a store, and the surrounding competition is fierce, and the monthly expenditure cost is also high, but the profit margin may not be optimistic.
On October 10, Chen Dainan successively received several transfers from the original company, and combined her own savings totaled about 400,000 yuan. The no-fault dismissal compensation given by the original company was large, which was a happy thing beyond his expectations, but after Chen Dainan went to the bank, he was even more hesitant and entangled.
After thinking about it, she couldn't make up her mind, so she decided to consult with Huarui.
The mobile phone typing is too slow, and it seems a little troublesome to discuss the problem with Hua Rui, so Chen Dainan simply installed a PC version of WeChat on the computer. waited until it was close to eight o'clock at seven o'clock in the evening before sending him a WeChat message. She thought, Hua Rui should be off work at this time.
'Hello Mr. Hua, are you busy?'
At this time, there were only two people left in the company, Hua Rui and Jiang Lei, and they stayed in the conference room after the meeting.
Hua Rui casually picked up the mobile phone that vibrated and took a look, and saw that it was Chen Dainan's WeChat, and quickly replied twice. He guessed that Chen Dainan should be discussing with him about opening a coffee shop.
'I'm not busy, what's the matter, you say. ’
Sensing Hua Rui's movements, Jiang Lei, who was on the other side of the conference table, glanced up at him, and then continued with the matter at hand.
In order not to waste Hua Rui's time, Chen Dainan typed out all the words he wanted to say in one go, and only after revising it did he click send.
"That's right, didn't I tell you before that I want to open a small coffee shop by myself? And in the past few days, I have been almost inspected online and offline, and now the problem is that I have a limited budget, and if I open it in a place where there are many white-collar workers, I may not be able to afford the cost. If you open it in a secluded and remote place, it is very likely that you will not be able to make ends meet. What's more, there are many coffee shops nowadays, and the competition is fierce. So I was a little confused about whether to open my own coffee shop, and if so, what should I choose?"
Hua Rui looked at it carefully, then sat up slightly straight, held the phone in both hands, and began to type quickly.
Your current two solutions are actually nothing more than high input and high output, small input and small output, the return ratio of the two is convergent, only small input and high output is the most perfect solution. ’
'Well, you say. ’
Chen Dainan couldn't help but sit upright, looking like he was listening carefully.
Hua Rui only thought about it for a moment, and then he had a more feasible idea, and he had pondered this problem once or twice before when he had nothing to do.
I suggest that you open a coffee shop in an urban village or an old neighborhood near C, Pen, and D (central business office area), because C, Pen, and D business districts can also radiate, and many white-collar workers who work in C, Pen, and D basically rent in these neighborhoods. In this way, the cost can be reduced, and the brand coffee shop can compete with the cost performance. ’
Out of the corner of his eye, seeing Hua Rui holding the mobile phone and not putting it down, Jiang Lei couldn't help but look up again, and asked with a gossipy face: "Who?"
"Miss Chen. Hua Rui's eyelids didn't move, and his fingertips kept tapping on the phone screen.
Jiang Lei was a little curious, "What's wrong with her?" It's been almost a month since she was fired, could it be that she asked Hua Rui to help introduce work?
"She was planning to open her own small coffee shop, but she wasn't sure where to open it and wanted to ask me if I had any good advice. Hua Rui naturally won't hide Jiang Lei, if he also has any good ideas, he can just tell Chen Dainan together.
"Oh, then you can talk to her. Jiang Lei immediately shut up, he didn't expect that the joke at that time was about to come true now.
Hua Rui typed and analyzed with Chen Dainan, while thinking about whether he could provide better advice.
When it comes to the competition between coffee shops, this one is really fierce. There are several large coffee shops downstairs in our company, but the coffee shops generally open late and are relatively expensive. Some companies have coffee machines, but the coffee they serve doesn't taste very good. There are also some people who will brew it themselves, which is instant or something. ’
Considering the rescue base behind Chen Dainan, he hopes that she will not only be able to open the coffee shop, but also continue to operate it.
'Well, you go ahead. ’
Chen Dainan responded in a timely manner, turned out a pen and paper, and planned to take some notes.
Hua Rui frowned slightly and pondered to himself, and after a moment, a flash of inspiration finally had a clearer context and thoughts in his mind.
In fact, many office workers don't have time to eat breakfast, either eat some biscuits and snacks, or rush to buy some bread and dry food or something. Like downstairs in our company, although there is a good bakery, a Western-style dessert house or something, but the price is relatively high. So I think if your coffee shop is going to compete with others, you can consider the time of day when you go to work in the morning, which is to serve the right coffee with a good breakfast at a good price. It's just that you have to open very early every day, and the working hours will be very long, and people can be very hard. ’
