Chapter 191: Throwing a Lot of Money
Everyone has a boss dream in their hearts, and it is because of the existence of this dream that many people will stick to it. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIt's a hot summer, and the sun is like fire. Sima Yang felt as if he had been thrown into the ink and soaked in it. Now he dares to compete with Africans.
Sima Yang has really made a lot of money during this period of time, since the last time Bai Yi talked to him. Sima Yang seemed to have suddenly knocked on the medicine, and he had been pumping outside all day. The legs are all thinner and thinner.
Not to mention such a research, it really made him find a business opportunity. Bai Yi told him that the supermarket had great potential, but he was still skeptical at the time. On the one hand, it is because he is really unfamiliar with this area, and on the other hand, now that large supermarkets are in charge, Bai Yi is doing the opposite, which really makes him feel a little unrealistic.
Through the investigation of various communities and some commercial downtowns in Xinghai, there is also the collection of sales data of large supermarkets. Sima Yang came to at least two conclusions. First, there is no branded convenience supermarket in the community or downtown area. Second, although large supermarkets have a complete range of products and wide coverage, the target group is not clear, and the customer positioning is not accurate enough.
Previously, Bai Yi and Sima Yang mentioned that he hoped to set up such a small supermarket. The goods don't have to be too complete, and even in some categories, they are pitiful. To put it more bluntly, it is to focus on only certain products, such as food and drink. It doesn't need to be too big, but it needs to feel refreshing and tidy and comfortable.
At first, Sima Yang felt that Bai Yi's idea was a little too taken for granted. Nowadays, people are willing to go to large supermarkets for shopping, even if they don't buy much, they are willing to go around inside. In small places, people will subconsciously feel that they are not classy.
But after this period of data collection, he suddenly found that sometimes his habitual thinking is really unacceptable. Nowadays, the economic level is developing faster and faster, and the pace of people's lives is also accelerating. People's consumption concepts have also changed unconsciously.
People are becoming more and more impatient when shopping, especially young people. They tend to go to the supermarket and don't buy a lot of things, and almost every time they go there is a similar category. They grew more and more disgusted with the long queues to check out, sometimes preferring to buy something they needed in the small supermarket on the street than to make a trip to the big supermarket.
This change in consumption perception has made people desperate for a place to shop easily and quickly. Remember that there was one item in the research report. If there is a convenience store in the place where you live or work, which mainly sells food and drinks, and its dΓ©cor is simple and stylish, you will not visit it. To his surprise, 60 percent of the people chose to be willing to go into the store, and 20 percent of them directly chose that they had always hoped for such a convenience store.
Without investigation, there is no voice. The words of the great man are indeed very valid at any time.
After sorting out the collected data, Sima Yang had already made an appointment with Bai Yi a few days ago. He's a little impatient to do it now. It was as if a great future was waving at him.
"Sima, I've worked hard for you for a while. These surveys are valuable. After carefully reading the materials that Sima Yang had prepared for him, Bai Yi couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at the tanned man opposite. Among so many CEOs, Bai Yi is actually the most optimistic about the person in front of him. Unexpectedly, this time he did not disappoint himself. And he found that Sima Yang looked more masculine after tanning. What he can't stand the most is not Sima Yang's ability, but that he often makes people unable to distinguish between men and women. A man should be like a man.
"I think you're almost drawing a crescent moon on your forehead now!"
Sima Yang was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he realized that Bai Yi was making fun of him. "Boss, do you think I'm a little more MAN like this? Sima Yang leaned forward slightly, and looked at Bai Yi with a light in his eyes.
It's good that he doesn't say this, as soon as he says this, Bai Yi's previous illusions about his ability to regain his strength this time are suddenly all shattered. It seems that dogs can't change their eating. I don't know when this guy developed this problem.
"By the way, when are you going to start?" Bai Yi took the business plan that Sima Yang had prepared for himself in his hand. In general, he was very satisfied with Sima Yang's investigation this time, and basically carried it out according to his own ideas. And some places have also been refined, and it can be seen that Sima Yang has spent a lot of effort this time.
"The sooner the better-just-because of a shop like this-"
"If you have something to say, don't talk about it!"
"I think there is a market, and if the funds are in place, I want to start immediately, and I don't plan to open one store at a time. For the first batch, I want to put it in the commercial area first, and there are hundreds of large and small commercial areas in Xinghai. If it is too risky to invest in a few hundred at a time, we can try to operate dozens of them first to see how the market reacts. β
Sima Yang is rare and bold this time. Dozens of stores are open at the same time, just to see how the market reacts. When did this kid's tone become bigger than himself!
Although it doesn't cost much to prepare a convenience store like this. However, Sima Yang's first batch of sites are all in the downtown area, and the rent is not cheap. Coupled with the decoration design, goods and labor costs of the store, it is estimated that each store will cost hundreds of thousands.
With his words so easily, tens of millions or even tens of millions may be swept away. Although Bai Yi doesn't feel that his idea can't be realized, there are exceptions, just like when he founded Kuaidao Taxi.
Seeing that Bai Yi was thinking, Sima Yang also knew that these were real money. If you are not careful, tens of millions of dollars of investment may be in vain.
"Boss, I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. If you think about it, if the market reacts very well, we can't seize the opportunity in the first place, and we are likely to make wedding clothes for others. The current sea of stars is not as good as before, bringing together rich people from all over the country. These people are not short of money, they lack projects. Once they smell fishy, they don't care about making money, they can do it first. β
Sima Yang's words can be regarded as talking about Bai Yi's heart, and this is what he is worried about. Originally, he was very optimistic about the prospects of convenience stores. Once he fails to seize the opportunity because of his initial hesitation, he will definitely regret it in the future.
"Okay, just do as you say. Be quick!" Bai Yi dared to be so arrogant this time, in fact, because the last time Huaxia Mobile acquired Phoenix shares, he made a lot of money.
After the reintegration of Phoenix shares. Huaxia Mobile became the largest shareholder. And Bai Yi bought part of the shares from the Germans, so that he became the second largest shareholder. Originally, he planned to buy all the shares in the hands of the Germans, but the Germans were not stupid, after knowing that Huaxia Mobile had invested in Phoenix shares, he was entangled and did not sell all the shares in his hands, although the price given by Bai Yi was more lucrative than that of Huaxia Mobile, but in the end this group of Germans still held back.
Excluding the money spent on the acquisition of shares in the hands of the Germans, Bai Yi now has nearly a billion cash left in his public account.
