Chapter 27 Rental Shop Operation
Compared with directly engaging in manufacturing or R&D, it is easier and more secure to enter the retail industry.
I don't think there's any need to become fat in one bite, I still have a lot of time left for my own development, and there are also many opportunities.
After figuring it out, Han Chudong no longer struggled, and planned to understand the specific situation first, and then "borrow some money" from his family after being fully prepared.
Family.
In fact, I can't talk about borrowing or not borrowing, I feel that if it is really suitable for me, even if I die in vain, I have to convince my family.
There is no way, there are only so many funds on hand at the moment, whether it is borrowing from the bank or borrowing money from friends, it is not realistic.
Since I already want to start a business, if I want to do it, I will make it bigger, and the lack of a total category of goods will not have an eye-catching effect, and it will only be similar to other home appliance sellers, which is not the result that Han Chudong wants.
As for the loss, he didn't think about it at all.
There is something after the purchase, the big deal is to clear the warehouse at the cost price, and you can always recover some costs, and the loss is only time and part of the initial investment, which is worth gambling.
If you have too many chips in your hand, you'll only be able to gamble once.
Funds, stores, purchase channels, and maintenance channels are all indispensable in Han Chudong's view.
I have no experience at all, and I have to investigate in advance, understand where to find the lowest price of goods, ask about the rental price of the shop, and the total scale of the initial investment, etc., before I can take the project to ask my parents for money to start a business.
In fact, if you think of a way and spend some time, you will probably be able to earn enough money to open a store, but since you know that your family has a small treasury and the project is relatively stable, there is no need to waste that energy.
Taking a step back, even if the idea of running a home appliance mall fails, Han Chudong is sure to ensure their future life and avoid becoming a loser who pits his family in the mouth of others.
Wander around, thinking as you go.
When he met a vendor selling sugar gourds, he also stepped forward to buy skewers, and the hawthorn smell reminded him of his childhood.
I seem to have been reading for as long as I can remember.
Elementary, middle, and high school didn't make money, they were all spending money, and they all got scholarships every semester in college, but when it came to the cost of living and tuition, they still didn't make money.
I have come to the United States when I was a graduate student and a doctorate, not to mention, the tuition fee is not generally expensive, because it is difficult to get a full scholarship when studying abroad, and it still costs a lot.
Seeing that he could return to China to work and earn money, God played a joke on him and unexpectedly returned to the seventies.
Speaking of which.
The more than 10,000 US dollars that he left behind a few days ago is actually the first time that Han Chudong has earned money in the real sense, and the scholarships and subsidies are more like getting back part of the tuition fees paid by himself through hard work.
Always living a tight life.
This also prompted Han Chudong to be full of desire for money when he found the opportunity.
He hopes that one day in the future, Qingpiaopiao will say to anyone "I'm not interested in money at all, I don't need money at all", or "young people should set a small goal and earn him 100 million first", etc., just thinking about it is very cool.
The location of the site is important.
If it is opened in the Chinatown block, there are only so many customers, and most of them are not wealthy, and some family TVs and radios may be in the early 60s, or 50s, and they will never be replaced if they are not broken.
If you open outside, you are more likely to attract other customer groups, but these compatriots are more likely to go to the nearest small retail store to buy goods.
Han Chudong still remembers the scene when his hometown opened the first Suning Electric City, it was called a lively at that time, and the specific business details were not clear, but there were some things worth learning from, just opening a store, and he believed that he could handle it.
It is precisely because of the lack of business experience that it is considered more carefully.
After first having the idea of starting a business in this area, and after conceiving a general framework, I began to ponder the details, and even though I didn't make a penny, I first surprised myself because of some ideas, such as the "trade-in" service.
You can make less money, and it's good to make small profits and quick turnover.
He wasn't going to get into this business recklessly, and the business ideas in his head were increasing his confidence......
The building is antique, with archways and red lanterns everywhere.
With greasy roads and litter, Chinatown's environment is so different from the rest of Los Angeles that housing prices are not rising.
The subway has not yet been repaired here, and there are few white people on the street, more of them are Asian, and there are also many Southeast Asians with slightly darker skin, and the law and order situation is relatively chaotic.
The square of the "world for the public" archway is smaller, the "Meng'ou wind" archway is more famous, and there are more pedestrians, the so-called "Meng'ou" refers to Mencius and Ouyang Xiu, not in praising and praising the two of them, but in praising their mother, there is a sense of being kind to others, and the neighborhoods are in harmony.
Very few people appreciate the meaning of this sentence, and more Chinatown residents only refer to it as a landmark, only mentioning it when they eat, take a taxi or meet each other.
Wander all the way here.
There are a few shops closed, it was originally an antique shop, and I think the location is very good, Han Chudong leaned over to check the red notice posted on it, it is a resale information.
Sell, not rent.
The location is quite good, which means that the price of the store is definitely not cheap, put the face close to the glass, look inside, the shelves or something have been emptied, and there are some sundries left inside, about more than 100 square meters.
It will take many years for online shopping to take off, and now the retail industry is relatively easy to do, and it is very fragmented, and supermarkets and convenience store chains have not yet become a climate.
I am satisfied with the traffic and the size of the store nearby, but unfortunately it is ready to sell, not rent.
I thought I'd ask first.
Han Chudong remembered the number, came to the small shop selling tobacco and alcohol next to him, and asked, "I want to call, how much is it?"
"Thirty in one minute. ”
"What?30 knives a minute?!!" blurted out words full of disbelief.
The aunt looked at Han Chudong with a foolish look, and continued: "Cents, it's not a beautiful knife, I want to earn thirty dollars, who is willing to give it." ”
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about things and didn't react. ”
Han Chudong was not in a hurry to call, and asked tentatively: "May I ask who the shop of the antique shop next to me is, I have the idea of renting it for a long time, but the boss plans to sell it?"
"You want to rent, I don't know who the owner is, but the old man who opened the store before took a nap in front of the store, and he didn't wake up again as soon as he slept, and the things were all moved away, what store are you going to open?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, so let's take a look. ”
After listening to this, the aunt nodded, and said again: "Do everything else, I will definitely make trouble if I dare to open a smoking hotel, such a young little guy, don't do that thing that smashes my job, do you hear?"
"Definitely not, two identical stores together, isn't it looking for death, who doesn't want to make money in business. I would venture to ask, how much is the rent of your shop?"
"My own shop, and the shop that sells gold next to it also belong to me, and I rent it to others for 6,000 dollars a year, making do with the family's expenses. ”
said that it was okay, but the expression on the aunt's face was called a scene, and she didn't forget to add: "There are people in my store who want to rent, and they can earn 12,000 a year by lying at home, but unfortunately they can't be idle, so they just sell something to find something to do." ”
Han Chudong was very face-saving, and echoed: "Then you are really happy this day, the rent is so much, isn't the store worth two or three hundred thousand?"
The aunt was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she found an opportunity to show off her family background, and continued:
"No, I'm definitely not happy to sell it if it's less than 100,000. It is estimated that it is a little difficult for you to rent that big store, young man, and the best stores in the neighborhood are those three, and they are all connected, and the rent must not be low......"
