Chapter 65 Supermarket? Or a wholesale market?

Fang Mingyuan nodded, at least in terms of convenient transportation, this place already met his requirements. Although it is said that it is some distance from the county center, as long as there is convenient transportation, abundant goods, favorable prices, and thoughtful service, there is no need to worry about no customers. This will be his first shiyan field in business, and it will be his foundation in the future, so there is no room for a little carelessness.

The factory gate was not locked, Zhou Yuanchao gently pushed, and pushed it open, the factory gate is an open land, cement ground, Fang Mingyuan thought in his heart, this can be opened up as a parking lot, although it is said that in Pingchuan County today, private cars can almost be called none, but the amount of public welfare procurement compared with later generations, this proportion is much larger. And it won't be long before those self-employed people will gradually buy trucks, leaving room in advance, which is undoubtedly a good thing. For now, it can also be used as a place to park bicycles.

After walking a few steps to the factory, a factory appeared in front of Fang Mingyuan and the others, the factory looked a little dilapidated from the outside, many of the glass windows on the wall had been broken, and the door of the factory was also rusty, it seemed that it was really as Zhou Yuanchao said, and no one had come here for a long time. Through the glass windows on both sides, Fang Mingyuan could see that it was empty, empty, and dusty, and there were some miscellaneous things discarded in it.

"Mingyuan, what kind of supermarket are you going to open here? What's that? Zhou Yuanchao asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Zhou, supermarket is the abbreviation of supermarket, also known as a self-selected shopping mall, which is a large-scale comprehensive - sex - retail mall operated in a customer-optional way. This is the main form of commercial retail organization in many countries, especially in economically developed countries. It was first created in the United States in the thirties, when the United States was in the midst of an economic crisis, when an American created the first supermarket in the whole Shijie, and the average gross profit of goods in his yard was only 10 percent, while at that time, in other stores in the United States, this item was 25 to 40 percent, so it was immediately welcomed by the American people as soon as it was launched. After the Second Shijie War, especially in the 50s and 60s, supermarkets developed rapidly in the Shijie range. Initially a variety of food products were sold in supermarkets, but they have since expanded to include clothing, household goods, household appliances, toys, furniture, and medical-pharmaceutical supplies. However, this thing is not a new thing in our Huaxia, I remember that the first supermarket in Huaxia has appeared in the capital in 83 years. It's just that its area is not large, only more than 200 square meters, and it is a little crowded when there are many guests. In addition, they only sell meat, vegetables, and non-staple foods, and the prices are much more expensive than ordinary places, so most of the people who go there are foreigners. The people of the capital just go in and have a look, and they won't buy anything. Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Against foreigners? How can we have so many foreigners here? Zhou Yuanchao was startled and said, "Mingyuan, you have to think clearly, the people in Pingchuan County are poor, not to mention that the price is much more expensive than ordinary places, you are one percent more expensive, I'm afraid many people won't come to you." You invest so much, don't lose it! On the one hand, he couldn't help but be a little worried, such a huge amount of money, if the investment failed, it meant that Fang Mingyuan would face a double loss on the loan and the monkey ticket; On the other hand, he couldn't help but have some admiration for a young man in the township, with his outstanding foresight, who was able to accumulate such a considerable amount of money on a small monkey ticket. And he actually has such extraordinary courage to dare to put it into business. On the other hand, looking at my current situation, I feel that I am deeply inferior.

Fang Mingyuan smiled confidently and said, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, when this supermarket opens, the price of goods will not only not be more expensive than outside, but also guarantee that there will be a large discount compared to them!" ”

Zhou Yuanchao was still a little uneasy and said: "Mingyuan, it's not that my uncle doesn't believe you, but how can you attract the county people of Pingchuan?" I've been here all my life, not to mention the farmers near the county town and the employees of ordinary enterprises, it's those of us who can't afford to make this month's salary into an eight-petal flower, if you set the price too low, can you get it back? It costs a lot of money to rent this place for a year. You have to think about all of this, don't waste your money. ”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, this question actually has a lot in common, in his previous life, he had also looked at the prices of those goods in the supermarket, and had a feeling as if he was dazzled, how could it be so different from the market price outside? With such a low price, there are doubts about whether the supermarket can still make money. But as he gets older, the trick here naturally becomes clear.

"Uncle Zhou, in order to ensure the low price, we must achieve a low purchase price, only a large number of purchases can lower the purchase price, and the market goods are in advance in a mechanized packaging way, classified according to a certain weight and specifications of the package, and placed on the shelves, clearly marked price, customers implement self-service, can be selected at will in the market. Moreover, the variety of goods in the market is complete, and it is easy to choose. People can buy most of the goods they need for daily life in a shopping mall, and they don't have to worry about it. At the same time, the automatic pricing, pricing and settlement of goods are highly efficient, which also saves customers' time. And because the shopping mall has good operating efficiency and reduced costs, the price of goods is relatively low, so this sales method will be welcomed by the majority of customers. ”

In fact, Fang Mingyuan did not say another sentence: "Computers and other modern equipment are widely used in supermarkets. It is convenient for managers to quickly understand the sales situation, preserve, sort out and package goods in a timely manner, and automatically mark and calculate prices, so as to improve work efficiency and expand the number of sales. This approach cannot be realized in Huaxia in a short period of time, and its cost is a bit too high, and Fang Mingyuan does not plan to introduce such a management method at this time. But devices like cash registers are not a rare item.

"The packaging is also all mechanized, automatic pricing, high-speed pricing and settlement, how can you do this?" Zhou Yuanchao was unbelievably authentic.

Fang Mingyuan smiled, Zhou Yuanchao's reaction was not unexpected, but he didn't want to explain more on this issue, he had already entrusted a company in Hong Kong to buy a batch of second-hand supermarket equipment, and when the preparations were almost here, those equipment would be shipped. When the time comes, facts speak louder than all words.

And this model may not be too obvious in today's Pingchuan County, but once it runs smoothly here and everything is on the right track, Fang Mingyuan's next target is Fengyuan, which is where the supermarket really develops and grows. The sheer population of millions, the influence of the whole province, and the flow of people from all over China will provide a steady stream of customers for the supermarket. As a result, it will bring huge profits and huge capital flows, laying a solid foundation for Fang Mingyuan's next expansion.

"Uncle Zhou, you only need to remember one sentence, who can let consumers complete a happy shopping with the least expenditure, the shortest time, the fastest speed, and the lowest price with the best quality service, who can maximize the advantage of market competition." Fang Mingyuan used this to temporarily put an end to the conversation between the two.

However, the more Fang Mingyuan walked in, the more his brows wrinkled, this factory looks a little too big at present, and the supermarket he is currently planning to open is not as all-encompassing as the supermarket in the later generations, but only intends to be limited to food, non-staple food, and household daily necessities, and in terms of Huaxia's current commodity supply brand, it is impossible to fill such a large factory with these types of goods, if it is said that this place is rented, then it will undoubtedly have to idle a considerable part of the factory, which is for Fang Mingyuan, Certainly unacceptable.

However, what he saw reminded him more and more of another thought, since the factories here are so wide and the transportation is quite convenient, it would be a good choice to develop this place into a wholesale market.

Pingchuan County is located in the west of Weinan District, not far from Tongchuan, Fengyuan, Weinan, the traffic is also convenient, not only there are railways connecting the three places, there is also smooth road transportation, and these three cities are more important cities in Qinxi Province, with a large population, as far as Fang Mingyuan knows, it seems that so far, the three places do not have a large-scale commodity trading market. If a large-scale commodity trading market can be built here, it will undoubtedly play a direct role in promoting the business activities of small and medium-sized enterprises and individual and private enterprises in the three places. Fang Mingyuan clearly remembers that in his previous life, like Yiwu, which was famous for small commodities, after 2000, more than 500,000 people engaged in wholesale trading in the Yiwu commodity trading market, driven more than 20,000 small commodity manufacturing enterprises in Yiwu City, more than 40,000 small commodity manufacturing enterprises in the surrounding areas of Yiwu, and more than 1 million people were employed in the industry, which fully reflected the vitality of circulation and industrial economic development.

The more Fang Mingyuan thought about it, the more excited he became, how could he forget this piece, if he could successfully promote the establishment of this market, it would undoubtedly make Pingchuan County's economy have a significant boost, increase the county's financial revenue, improve the income level of county residents, and at the same time, it will also have a strong impetus for his supermarket jihua.

"Uncle Zhou, let's go, send me to the county-government first-!" Fang Mingyuan pulled Zhou Yuanchao, who was still pondering his words, and said excitedly.
