Chapter 5 Opening a Supermarket
Liu Yixuan watched his parents chatting with his grandparents, telling some of the bits and pieces he encountered while working in other places.
Liu Yixuan listened while being able to think, since he was reborn more than 20 years ago, there are still many ways to make money, let his parents do some business, in this era than to make money from part-time jobs. Liu Yixuan thought about what happened in 1995, real estate must be very profitable now, but it requires a lot of funds, and now you don't need to think about it, the Internet has just started in China, and you need to burn money to maintain operations in the early stage, and you can't do it now, and your parents don't understand the Internet.
Liu Yixuan frowned, and suddenly grandma said to go to a small stall to buy some meat to eat at night, Liu Yixuan listened, muttered "buy something" and suddenly thought of what parents can do, parents can open a supermarket, supermarkets will be very common in the future, but now there are really few, and it doesn't take too much money to open a small supermarket. Is it profitable to open a supermarket?
And of course make money!
China's first large supermarket seems to be SH Hualian, probably also established in 1991, the company to "low cost, low input, high efficiency, high output" business principles, to franchise as the business characteristics, the formation of standard supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores as the main business state, to modern logistics and information management as the core technology, to open up the national market, to participate in global competition as the goal of the business pattern. By the end of 2004, it had 1,693 chain stores, outlets in more than 10 provinces and cities such as SH, BJ, JS, ZJ, AH, etc., and established a strategic framework focusing on the Yangtze River Delta, with Beijing and Shanghai as the center, and radiating development to the whole country. Hualian Supermarket is a company with a certain influence and popularity in China's chain industry. In the field of franchising, it has been awarded the China Excellent Franchise Brand by the China Chain Store & Franchise Association for many years. But now it seems that there are only some first-tier cities, such as second-tier cities have not yet appeared. Liu Yixuan remembered that there seemed to be a supermarket in his county next year, and when he went home during the National Day holiday, there was only this one supermarket in the city at that time.
It was called a sea of people, and under the guise of opening promotion, the entire county XC district was a sensation, waiting in line outside that supermarket to shop.
Even his mother put down the things in her hand, oil, salt, rice, food and drink, whether she could use it or not, and moved a large cart of things home.
Liu Yixuan never thought that those housewives had such good energy, and almost emptied the not too big supermarket for a few days.
In just a few years, when Liu Yixuan came home from working outside, he heard that Xicheng had the first Lamborghini, which was bought by the son of the supermarket owner.
It can be seen how much people have earned in a few years, if it were not for the well-known brands such as China Resources, Tesco, and RT-Mart to enter Dongping, with their abundant funds and excellent service concepts, it would be possible for a supermarket to create the richest man in the county.
It's a pity that because of the chaotic management in the later period, the environment is outdated and reluctant to invest, the place is small, the supermarket is in a slump, and the supermarket seems to have closed down when the supermarket chain is everywhere.
Thinking of this, Liu Yixuan looked at his father Liu Guangxue and said, "Mom and Dad, can you not go out to work?" You can open a supermarket at home! Liu Guangxue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Liu Yixuan and said: How do you know about the supermarket, of course Liu Yixuan can't say that he was reborn and came back, and he knows how much money he makes by opening a supermarket, so he has already thought of a rhetoric when he told his parents, I saw it on TV watching the news, and it said that he could make a lot of money.
Liu Guangxue thought for a while and said: Forget it, we don't have so much money, we can't open it, Liu Yixuan saw his father say this, and hurriedly said, Dad, listen to me, we can rent a storefront by ourselves, and now the rent of the store in the county is not high, the rent of four or five hundred square meters is only 20,000 yuan a year, if you decorate, you can find someone to decorate it yourself without materials, you are doing this piece, what things do you need, how much money you should know, Liu Guangxue looked at Liu Yixuan and nodded, and said that if it is about simple decoration, more than 10,000 points, and then motioned to Liu Yixuan to continue, Liu Yixuan said: If we buy each product, we can run a few more wholesale markets, See which one is cheaper, buy less goods in the early stage, and let the wholesaler give priority to us in the later stage, so that about 100,000 should be enough, the shopping guide will find my aunt and them, aren't they all idle at home? After finishing speaking, Liu Yixuan looked at his father Liu Guangxue, Liu Guangxue closed his eyes as if he was thinking.
Grandpa Liu Guokun and his mother stared at Liu Yixuan, a little shocked, but also a little incredible, Liu Guokun said: When did Xiao Xuan become so business-minded, Liu Yixuan touched his head, and said a little embarrassed: It's all on TV and in books. Liu Guangxue opened his eyes and looked at his grandfather Liu Guokun and his mother and said, "What do you think of the idea that Xiao Xuan said" and then the three of them discussed it over there, and finally Liu Guangxue said that he would go to the store first tomorrow.
In order to open the supermarket as soon as possible, Liu Guangxue asked the stores in the county with good locations one by one, and found one that was relatively good, had a good location, had a lot of traffic, and the price was acceptable.
Then I started to buy materials for decoration. I found a co-worker who I used to decorate with. The wages can be owed first, and there is no urgency.
In the next few days, Liu Guangxue was very busy.
First of all, now in the county to understand the price of various commodity wholesale markets, and then to the surrounding cities of some large wholesalers commodity prices, do some comparisons, sometimes at one or two o'clock in the night to get up to contact the wholesalers, fortunately in these days also determined a few, because now there are not many supermarkets, a supermarket to buy more, the price is relatively preferential, it is easy to determine a few. Choose from these few products with good quality, fresh goods, and can fully supply your own supermarket.
My mother went to Liu Yixuan's aunts' house these days and told them that her family opened a supermarket and wanted to ask them to help, of course, it was a salary, three hundred yuan a month, and they agreed after thinking about it. After all, in 1995, 300 yuan a month was already a lot, which is equivalent to four or five thousand yuan a month in 2017!
Liu Guangxue has been tired for the past few days, and he has rested at home for a day, and the next thing is to go for a business license and some cumbersome procedures. Everything is done, just wait for the decoration to be done, just wait for the business license to be done, distribute the goods, and listen to Liu Yixuan's opinions, the training of several aunts, cashiering and other work.
