Chapter 119: Stable Business
If you can, putting the books on the bookshelf is convenient for you and supports me, thank you very much!
Feng Yiping felt that it was good for his brother-in-law to take the initiative to propose this plan, and it was too common for relatives and friends to do business in partnership later. He now sees opportunities everywhere, but he can't grasp them, and sometimes he is quite depressed.
There is no trivial matter in starting a business, even if it is to open a small restaurant, if you think it is simple, do not do it yourself, and entrust a person casually, then you will generally only get a casual loss result.
Later, many of the big bulls who made the company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States suffered losses in the early days of entrepreneurship.
He really needs a reliable partner now, and if my uncle really wants him to continue to contribute to the renovation company in preparation, both sides need it, that's right.
In the decoration industry, the market is not small, there are not many involved, and it is in its infancy, with good prospects and opportunities.
Let's just say that these renovated families can never just buy this suite, and now that it is maintained, not only will he be a repeat customer in the future, but also more customers will be introduced, which is difficult for those who come after to spend a lot of money to do.
However, the more you do things with relatives and friends, you must clarify all aspects first, otherwise not only may the business not be able to continue, but the relatives will also turn against you.
Doing business is different from farming at home, when farming, everyone helps each other, you help me plant rice, I help you cut wheat, these do not need to be quantified, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts.
Doing business is different, everything involved can be measured by money, if you use the mentality of farming to do business, it is really difficult to make good results.
For example, now, Feng Yiping's idea is to let his brother-in-law make money, so they are happy, but if Feng Yiping's idea makes them lose a lot of money one day, what will the brother-in-law think and do? Don't blame him, doesn't it matter? It's difficult!
Therefore, only when the benefits are evenly shared and the risks are shared, such cooperation will be long-lasting.
Besides, he didn't just have this one uncle, but also three other uncles, all of whom helped in such a vain, and he didn't have time to do his own thing, so it's good to have such an example now.
But he still had to ask, "Uncle, aunt, let me ask more bluntly, don't you mind, do you sincerely want to cooperate, or do you want to borrow money?"
The uncle was a little angry when he heard this, "Of course, I sincerely want to cooperate, if I just want to borrow money, I just said that borrowing money is not over, how can I make such a big detour." ”
That's good!
"Dad, Mom, I thought about it, and I think what my uncle said is also reasonable, since it is business, then follow the rules of business, so as not to have disputes in the future, and there will be any gaps between us. Feng Yiping said.
"Alas, since you all agree, then we don't say anything, as the old saying goes, 'Brother, settle accounts', we don't care, just do what you say!" Feng Zhenchang said.
"It's just how much a family occupies, and then we say that we haven't done anything, so let's take the lion's share, which can't be justified. Mei Qiuping added.
"Sister, we have all thought about this, the road is a flat finger, the money for the start-up is also from him, we don't have much money in our hands now, most of these expenses for setting up a company still have to be paid by you, and you should take the lion's share. ”
"Don't worry, eldest sister, we have already taken a lot of advantage by accounting for four shares. Cai Hong said.
Seeing that this matter was preliminarily decided, Mei Yiliang was very happy, and immediately pulled Feng Yiping and asked, "Tell me, what do you have any good ideas?"
Feng Yiping smiled bitterly, "Uncle, I don't have any ready-made ideas now, you do it first, I'll think about it first, okay." ”
"You too, Yiping just came here today. Cai Hong pinched him.
Also, he was too anxious, Mei Yiliang smiled, "You play for two days first, think about it when you have time, I'll finish the things over there in a hurry, and strive to decorate the second store within the year." ”
Feng Yiping only helped in the store for one day, so he took his ID card, reversed the car a few times, and found the provincial library.
He stayed here for three days, and lunch was also solved next to him, and with reference to the template, he finally got the articles of association of the company. This is not an easy task, but fortunately, he also commissioned the agency to draft it several times later, and he has some experience.
The rest of the time, he looked through the relevant materials in the library, but there were not many. What is surprising is that he actually found that the "Eighth Five-Year Plan Outline" approved by the Fourth Session of the Seventh National People's Congress clearly stated that it is necessary to "develop the interior decoration industry", and the central government actually attaches so much importance to the interior decoration industry.
This undoubtedly confirms from another aspect that they made the right choice, but at the same time, it also means that the competition is fierce.
He took these things he had written, found Cai Hong, and asked him to hand them over to his uncle. The next night, my brother-in-law and Cai Hong came over together, "I don't think this thing is a problem, now the key is what to do next, what I think of is to send business cards everywhere to attract business, do you still have any good ideas?"
"It's definitely right to pull business, but at the same time, we should pay attention to maintaining old customers, customers who have been renovated, and establish a return visit system, such as those two customers who have been renovated for a month, you can go to visit to see if there is any place that needs to be repaired, and listen to their opinions. ”
"Oh," Mei Yiliang flipped through and found the page of the company's structure, "This is the work of the after-sales service department in the future, right?"
"Yes, it is equally important to maintain old customers, such as the current furniture factory, there must be a lot of business introduced by old customers, right?" he asked Cai Hong.
"Yes, this one is. Cai Hong said.
"I'll do this in the next few days, it's almost the New Year, bring something by the way, you can talk about it, how to find more business?"
"I also thought about it, residential decoration, this is too scattered, maybe when the business is good, you can receive ten orders a month, and when the business is bad, you can't pull a single order, so you still have to think of a way to find some stable business. This is also Feng Yiping's experience.
For example, the pneumatic tool business he took over before his rebirth, although the volume was large and the profits were okay, but it did not last, only this once.
On the other hand, his other shipments that month, such as hydraulic parts, all add up to less than one-third of the single business, but they are for several companies, there is demand every month, and the amount is very fixed every month, so this kind of business is a long-term business.
"Stable business?"
"For example, my family, the next branch will be opened, our first one will be renovated well, and the next few will be opened, isn't it easy to think of us?"
"Oh, that makes sense, yes, this kind of business, receiving an order, means that we have a chance to follow, and they have a plan, and we can arrange our work. Mei Yiliang happily slapped it on the table.
Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping were still busy in the kitchen, and they were a little proud when they saw what their son and Mei Yiliang were talking about.
"However, this kind of business is not easy to find," Mei Yiliang said after thinking about it.
"It's hard to find, but it's not nothing, you haven't noticed that more and more new high-rise buildings are being built, more and more companies are being opened, more and more factories are being opened, and more and more branches of some institutions are being built. Feng Yiping bought the guanzi.
"On this street?" Mei Yiliang and Cai Hong thought back to where they had passed when they came.
At this time, Feng Yuxuan, who was wiping the table next to her, called out first, "Bank!"
