Chapter 61: Windfall
People who have not systematically studied business, not only Boss Han, but also Su Mu, he doesn't even have any experience in business, even Boss Han is not as good.
The ancestors often said that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book", whether there are any beauties in the book, Su Mu doesn't know, except for the pictures of beauties in various magazines, he has never seen other women.
However, all kinds of knowledge recorded in books can really be turned into money, such as what he just told Boss Han, which is the business knowledge that Su Mu got from books.
If you accumulate slowly and make enough money to invest in the next one, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it also wastes the liquid cash resources that supermarkets have.
The triangular debt is also in the United States, but the difference is that on the American side, once someone defaults and does not pay, they will immediately face prosecution, and the state will help enforce it, and establish a good credit system.
It will also impose penalties on companies that default on their debts, making it difficult for someone to win the trust of others once they bear a credit stain.
Therefore, a business like a supermarket, as long as the benefits and guarantees of the supplier are sufficient, can make a time difference, and then settle it at a time at an agreed time, during which the funds will be kept in their own hands, invested in other places, and used the money to make money.
Businessmen who can play this trick well can easily make a fortune, but the vast majority of people end up in the dilemma of breaking the capital chain and eventually going bankrupt, and the financial pressure will be great during the expansion.
"Yes, let's see when the time comes, you can try the business after the opening, if the business doesn't work, then it won't be. Su Mu agreed: "If we take the money to open a store, and we can't settle it with the supplier after the payment is due, it is a trivial matter to damage our credit, and maybe we will all go to prison." ”
Boss Han woke up from his dream, shook his head and smiled: "I'll think about this matter in the future, we haven't skimmed it yet, let's think about how to open this store first, and it's not easy to expand after it's done." ”
Su Mu walked into the factory and looked up to see the Chinese craftsmen who were laying tiles, working overtime to renovate and renovate at a very fast pace.
Someone is digging the wall, the old line laid half a century ago is no longer usable, and the wire is being re-laid, and in order to save time and effort, I don't plan to bury it all in the wall, and it can be done in a few days.
He continued to speak: "Boss Han, how are you doing, have you encountered any problems?"
"It's going well, but the quantity we purchase is too small, the price can't be suppressed, and the purchase cost price is only slightly lower than that of my convenience store, mainly depending on the sales volume. ”
As soon as Boss Han finished speaking, an old Chinese man with a hard hat came to him, saying that he wanted to ask where the side door was open, so he said to Su Mu: "Then you go around first, I'll come to you later, help me see how to arrange the shelves, don't you say that the location is very important and can increase sales, you know more about this than me." ”
Su Mu did understand a little bit, he was working at Boss Han's convenience store at the time, and after putting the candy and chewing gum next to the cash register, they were sold out quickly, and he replied: "You go first, I'll see how to put it ......"
......
Decoration and renovation will inevitably have dust, the ground is paved with a thick layer, and the feet can also leave footprints when stepping on it, no one is arranged to clean, and only need to pour cement mortar and re-pave a layer of cement floor.
In Su Mu and Boss Han's imagination, this Qugou supermarket is a low-cost store, most of the goods are cheaper than other stores, and the cement floor does not need to be cleaned frequently, which means that about two less cleaners can be hired, and the cost of workers will be reduced.
Boss Han was poor for a while when he was a child, and now he is no longer short of money, these small details are all methods that Su Mu came up with, when the Su family was the poorest, that is, when he spent money to treat Su Mu's grandmother, the family only had more than three hundred dollars in savings.
He has seen how his mother saves money when she buys vegetables, and she also picks crooked melons and cracked dates when buying fruits, so that Su Mu knows deeply that poor people attach great importance to saving money, even if a pound of tomatoes is ten cents cheaper, it can attract many customers.
For a supermarket in a slum area, the price of goods is an important factor in determining the number of customers, and if you want to attract customers to the supermarket to buy things, in Su Mu's opinion, the best way is to fight the price!
I chatted with Boss Han for a long time before, and all kinds of ways to save money made Boss Han have to admire, just a capital word.
Second-hand shelves, second-hand tiles, in order to save money for windows, even many windows are sealed, because brick cement is much cheaper than windows, so the investment cost will be much less than expected, and it will be less difficult to recover the cost.
Judging from Su Mu's not keen business sense, this supermarket has not had any major problems in the initial positioning, and he doesn't know if it can succeed in the end, he originally wanted to be a lawyer, but now he wants to study business.
It is the consensus of everyone that you must eat and drink enough before you can think about other things, and being a businessman is the most profitable.
No matter how high the salary of lawyers is, there are bottlenecks in development, but businessmen do not have this restriction, it can be said that how big the earth is, how big the market is, even in the inaccessible north and south poles, there are commercial markets that can be explored, such as the "bipolar tourism project" that has been very popular in the United States recently.
The workers only knew about Boss Han, and under Su Mu's deliberate secrecy, not too many people knew that he had also invested, and someone shouted on the roof: "Little guy let me, I'm going to throw bricks, you go out, why didn't you come in without a helmet!?"
The worker only showed his head, and saw Su Mu take a few steps back, retract his head, and throw a few pieces of broken tiles down, smashing on the ground with a muffled sound.
Remembering Boss Han's words, Su Mu thought that he should go and ask for a construction drawing, and then think about the shelf layout, choked on the dust and coughed a few times, and when he turned around and walked to the door, the wooden planks under his feet creaked.
Probably because it was in disrepair and didn't go far, a rotten wooden board suddenly broke!
Su Mu's right leg was sunk all the way to the ankle, fortunately he was wearing a pair of jeans today, and when the pain came, he thought he was injured, squatted down and moved his feet slightly, only to find that it was okay.
After taking away the jammed wooden plank, he pulled his foot out, and was about to leave, when Yu Guang was unexpectedly attracted by a square box under the wooden plank, Su Mu was curious, and reached out to pick it up, making a sound of metal colliding during the process.
At first, I thought it was a tool box of the year, the small box was inconspicuous, but when I opened it, I accidentally found that it contained six silver coins, some new and some old, which were quite well preserved.
It's just happy, Su Mu doesn't think there's anything, the history of the founding of the United States is not very long, there are a large number of gold and silver coins from the colonial period on the market, ordinary silver coins are slightly worth a little money, but the price is not too high, ordinary people will also buy them to collect, and the Su family has several.
Hearing someone talking, he took out the silver coins and put them in his pocket, and threw away the small wooden box......
