Zeng Yue's Kuyun Supermarket is already under construction, and it has not yet started business, but it is just enclosure.

His purpose is to build an unmanned supermarket brand in Pengcheng, and if this model is successful, it will also be promoted to all first-tier cities and new first-tier cities in the country.

Whether such an unmanned supermarket can make money is actually not so important.

The key is whether the concept can be played well and whether it can attract larger investors to take over.

Many start-ups in China are like that, make an idea that sounds quite marketable, make it to a certain scale, and then sell it.

For such an idea, who cares if it can form a real market in the end?

This is not an APP, but a physical store, and it takes a lot of money to make a certain scale.

Zeng Yue was only able to take out 10 million or 20 million by himself, and found a few other disciples who were also unwilling to be mixed and waiting for death, and probably made a start-up capital of 60 or 70 million, registered a company like Kuyun, and began to enclose this new type of concept supermarket.

I was full of confidence before I did it, but after I did it, I realized that this thing was too expensive.

Unmanned supermarkets do save labor costs, but the value of those high-tech equipment is not cheap.

They don't want to make their unmanned supermarket brand a very cheap brand, and they can't be like some so-called unmanned supermarkets, the signboard of Asian unmanned supermarkets is actually a larger vending machine.

This requires relatively high-tech equipment and a relatively large façade.

And if you want to build a relatively high-end brand, in Pengcheng, a super first-tier city, the minimum number of stores cannot be less than 20.

Renting a store in a prosperous area is too expensive and has too little population, and renting such a storefront will not have much business.

Moreover, to rent such a store, it is impossible to sign the contract for too short a time, because the renovation cost of the unmanned supermarket is too large, at least you have to sign a contract of more than five years, and you will have to pay a large amount of rent at one time.

After market research, their team found that in order to form a high-end brand effect, the investment of a store cannot be less than 10 million.

20 stores, which requires at least 200 million funds.

This is only the most basic investment, and in the foreseeable future, there is no hope of making a profit for at least two or three years, which means that in two or three years, if there is no receiver to catch their market, they will have to continue to invest.

The investment of sixty or seventy million is still too little.

Now there are only six or seven stores under renovation, and their family funds have been almost exhausted, and it is the time when they urgently need to introduce funds.

He came to attend Gong Shengnan's birthday party this time, and he also had the intention of looking for investors.

Especially after hearing about the existence of such a rich man as Gu Mu, he was even more moved.

It's just that Gu Mu's brilliance as the God of Wealth is too dazzling, and there are too many people around him to be courteous, and he can't even squeeze into Gu Mu's side, so he has to turn to those rich second generations who have no status in the family, hoping to take out a little money from their wallets and invest it.

Now seeing Gu Mu walking over here, of course he was very happy, and immediately greeted him: "Hello Mr. Gu." ”

"Mr. Zeng, hello. ”

Gu Mu stretched out his hand to him.

The two of them held hands together, and Gu Mu said: "I heard Shengnan's introduction that Mr. Zeng is now engaged in an unmanned supermarket, and you are very interested, can we talk about it?"

Zeng Yue was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that the other party would come to the door without having to do business by himself, and he didn't expect Gong Shengnan's friends to help him pull business.

"It is a great honor to introduce my unmanned supermarket to Mr. Gu. ”

The two men found a place to sit, and the female companions they brought with them sat beside each other.

Zeng Yue began to introduce his Kuyun unmanned supermarket to Gu Mu.

"Although now unmanned supermarkets, is just a concept, the rise of those unmanned supermarkets in the market can only be regarded as a relatively large vending machine, and is not convenient to the general public, it seems that the market is very small, but we have to see that soon the 5G network will be popularized, will drive a large number of new technologies to emerge, the development of science and technology is getting faster and faster, unmanned supermarkets will become the mainstream. We are now in this industry, and there is no better time to do so. ”

Gu Mu had some doubts: "Isn't the advantage of an unmanned supermarket that it doesn't have to hire so many employees?

Zeng Yue admitted: "Of course, if we want a truly unmanned supermarket, the equipment that needs to be introduced will be more expensive, and the cost will be higher than hiring employees at present." ”

"So what are the advantages of this unmanned supermarket?" asked Gu Mu curiously.

"The first advantage, we can take advantage of the fact that the industry is just emerging, the threshold for entry is relatively low, and we can quickly use our financial advantages and scale advantages to create our own high-end brand and become the leader of this industry. ”

"The second advantage, we must see a point, science and technology it is moving forward, now the cost of those equipment is high, does not mean that the cost is the same as the future cost, after the scale, you can greatly reduce the cost, then our cost compared to those artificial supermarkets have an advantage. ”

"The third advantage ......" Speaking of the third advantage, Zeng Yue smiled, lowered her voice, and said: "We must take into account that some products, customers are not willing to buy in the presence of people, if our unmanned supermarket can provide such goods, it should be able to attract many people in need to buy it, which is an advantage that artificial supermarkets cannot have." ”

Gu Mu also laughed and said, "It's like the rubber products produced by the company I bought, right?"

Zeng Yue wondered: "Will anyone be embarrassed to buy rubber products now?"

However, he did not refute this, but said with a lewd smile: "Yes, including rubber products, but also some more private products." ”

Gu Mu said with some suspicion: "But as far as I know, it seems that there are some Chen Ren stores in Pengcheng that are not vending, but the sales of those stores are not very good......

"I know, I asked my team to do research, and those stores really weren't selling well. Zeng Yue said, "According to our research, the reason why the sales of that kind of store are not good is not because there is no such demand, but that many customers think that it is a shame to enter such a store." However, if they enter an unmanned supermarket where they can buy daily necessities, they will not feel ashamed. ”
