Chapter 55: Market Examined
Topics that interest Katie.
She asked, "What business do you want to do?"
"For the time being, there are two ideas, one is to open a café, on the banks of the Thames or somewhere, I used to work in a café, and that feeling made me very comfortable.
The other one is more difficult, I think there will be a market for opening a chain fruit store, and tourists from China have told me that they have a lot of chain fruit stores there that sell some fine fruits. Going to the supermarket to buy a little less feeling, you can decorate the fruit shop very beautifully, like a street flower shop. ”
Pudding calmly told Katie that it was not an earth-shattering business, and there was no need to hide it.
"If you think it's necessary, I'll promise to help you, but what can I do to get the trust to agree to invest?"
"Katie, I don't want them to invest, so it will become the foundation's business again, and now I want to help me make money for myself, Du Yu, understand?"
“…… Does that make a difference?"
"Of course, if nothing else, I should be human again, the permanent. ”
After saying that, I ate a piece of beef, I don't know the specific ingredients of the seasoning, but it tastes pretty good, the breakfast is that the steak is a little greasy, and the taste is not as good as barbecue and frying, it is better than cat food, and it is psychologically more acceptable.
Katie was a clever girl, and when Pudding had finished speaking, she understood, and vaguely guessed in her heart that the fat cat was hiding something from herself, otherwise she would not have the confidence to become a human again.
Pudding's money only belongs to Pudding, Pudding Trust, and it won't give money to a Chinese, so it's right to think about it for the future.
She told: "No matter what kind of business, you definitely don't have enough money now, you can go to a small city, and the rent of a shop in London is too expensive." ”
"I've also had a headache with this problem, and recently I thought about how about renting a small piece of space outside other shops and placing a fruit stand without opening a store directly in the early days, more than 10,000 pounds is enough.
If the business is good, I'll try it, and if it doesn't work, forget it, and then think of other ways, okay?"
"Well, it's not bad, I'll start school on September 25th, and I have time to help you before that, who made you my boss." Katie said.
Pudding joked: "It's good to have such an idea, it's best to choose a lively place, and then send a message to tell people that it can attract some fans to come, it's a pity not to use such a good resource." ”
"That's right, very business-minded......"
One person and one cat, still exploring new ways to get along, it's not bad to chat like this occasionally.
Just do it.
After breakfast, Katie, who had already written her paper, drove out with the pudding, aiming for the largest wholesale fruit market in London, and they had to understand the market first.
Unconsciously, Huaxia has suddenly become the world's second largest economy, and many people in Europe and the United States are looking for business opportunities in Huaxia's business model.
For example, shared bicycles, there are also companies involved in this field in the United Kingdom, known as the "national quality mirror" of shared bicycles, in the United Kingdom also encountered theft, private locks, malicious vandalism and other behaviors, which gave them a headache.
Listening to the pudding that there is a market in Huaxia, Katie thinks it's good to try, the chain means reducing the wholesale price of fruits, and if you run it well, you can't make money.
Now she is still on the salary from the Pudding Trust, and it is necessary to help deal with some problems, and the work is not like that, except that she was freer before, and recently she has an "cat boss".
The speed of travel is not fast, Pudding presses a button with his meat claw, the soft top is automatically retracted, it is strangled by the seat belt, there is a sense of restraint, and there are passengers next to him whistling at Katie.
Find out the sunglasses and put them on, the windshield is well designed, people think that the wind will be strong when the convertible is opened, but in fact they don't feel much when they sit in the front seat, this white Porsche with a pleasant roar, into the fast lane.
Since it is named "GTS", of course, it must be armed to the teeth, as one of the most cost-effective convertible sports cars priced within 100,000 pounds, this car uses a four-cylinder engine to achieve 100 kilometers of acceleration in four seconds, every time Katie steps on the accelerator, the pudding is clearly aware of the feeling of pushing back, it can only be said that the money is not spent in vain, the important thing is that this car is quite beautiful, suitable for girls to drive.
Don't look at Katie white and clean, she can drive much wilder than Miss Winona, her two cars have better performance, but they are driven out of the feeling of running a kart, which is simply a violent thing.
Following the navigation of the mobile phone, Pudding did not know exactly where the destination was, and soon arrived at a place called Borough Market, which is located next to the London Bridge train station, and when he parked his car, he asked: "I remember that there are a lot of fruit stalls in Borough Market, but there is no place to buy fruit in bulk and at a low price, right?"
"Well, let's see how their business is going, I found out that the biggest wholesale market in the neighborhood is New Spitalfield, and we'll go back in a minute, and it says on the Internet that it sold £600 million worth of fruit last year, which is probably a lot more than here. ”
Katie is at University College London, majoring in business management, although she has not practiced it herself, but her business theory level is much higher than Du Yu's, and she is more organized, and she wants to see how these fruit merchants are doing business, and at the same time learn how they do business.
With a small notebook in her hand, she saw the lively crowd and asked Pudding, "I'm holding you?"
"Yes, you should buy a backpack that is specifically designed to carry cats. ”
"I'll buy it when you lose weight first, but unfortunately I can't bring the stroller here. She said this with a smile in her eyes, obviously teasing.
Suddenly I wondered how he felt when he used a baby stroller to take pudding shopping.
Seeing the fat cat raise its front paws, Katie thought it was holding herself, but squatted down to find that there was a sharp little claw standing on the palm of her flesh, gesturing her middle finger......
"Boss, I'm a student at University College London and I'm doing a survey, can you answer a few questions?"
Katie asked a middle-aged fruit stall owner with an embarrassed expression.
Her harmless appearance is very lethal to middle-aged uncles, and she is a student of a top school in London, so the other party said with a smile on her face: "Just ask, I'm free now." ”
"Thank you, my name is Katie. She put down the pudding, took the notebook and pen and said, "How many fruits can a fruit stall of your size sell in a day, and what is the profit margin?"
"This ......"
When it came to money, the owner of the fruit stall hesitated for a while, but told her: "I work five days a week, Monday to Tuesday to give myself a holiday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I can sell 800 to 1,000 pounds of fruit a day, Saturday and Sunday, about three times."
The main thing is that there are too many fruit sellers here, and the wages are about the same as those of ordinary office workers, but it is easier, and I can earn six or seven thousand pounds, sometimes high and sometimes low, unstable, and my business is best whenever people have holidays. ”
"Oh~ So which fruit is the best-selling?"
"It depends on the season, mangoes, cucumbers, durians, pineapples, strawberries, etc., sell well all year round, I like to eat strawberries myself, and I and my family eat the unsightly......"
