Chapter Seventy-Four: The Concept of the Store
According to the time of later generations, almost at nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock, the children got up one after another, Zhao Yuan, Meng Ying and Tao Pu's family had already steamed the buns, and Wan Yunjun and the children began to fry fried fritters after they got up.
"Second brother, have you slept well?" Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Sleep, Atom, I kind of understand that you like to stay here and don't want to go out with me." Wan Yunjun began to wash.
"I'm not as ambitious as you, second brother, it's just fine, the buns are all steamed, you guys line up to wash, and then have breakfast." Zhao Yuan smiled and beckoned the children to wash up.
"Okay, second brother (uncle)."
In fact, the fritters did not appear until after the Southern Song Dynasty, which is an innovation in fried pasta, Zhao Yuan made the fritters now, so that Wan Yunjun and his son, and the children of Zhaojiazhuang looked very magical, two thin dough side by side together, fried in oil, and soon expanded into thick fritters.
After eating a meal, it seemed very simple in later generations, but after a very hearty breakfast in this era, Meng Ying, Aunt Pu and Tao Yingchun cleaned up the kitchen, and Zhao Yuan, Wan Yunjun, Tao Pu and Qian Hu came to the hall and chatted with each other.
And Luoluo, Xiaobao, and Xingxing took the Wanjia brothers to play with the children of Zhaojiazhuang in the yard, the weather is very good today, and the climate of Gray Yuan Town began to warm up after the Lantern Festival, and the yard will not look very cold after the sun comes out.
"Luoluo, let's go see the white head and the black tiger." When Zhao Yuan opened up the wasteland here, Zhao Bo, who helped herd donkeys and pigs, said.
"Okay, let's go feed them grass." Luoluo nodded and said.
The children snorted and walked towards the donkey shed, and the white-headed and black tigers seemed to be frightened by the children who rushed up, and even the big-flowered hen in the fence next door was clucking in fright.
In the hall, Zhao Yuan was chatting with Wan Yunjun.
"Second brother, that small courtyard in my bazaar, I'm going to decorate it after a while and do some small business." Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Wan Yunjun said with a smile.
"I want to tear down the courtyard wall facing the street in that small courtyard, put the yard on the roof, and open a grocery store, but the supply of goods needs the help of the second brother." Zhao Yuan said.
"Grocery stores, yes, and the products of our soap workshop can also be sold at your grocery store." Wan Yunjun nodded and said.
In fact, Zhao Yuan wanted to open a small supermarket, and the small yard area was large enough to sell a lot of goods, but I don't know if it will crush the business of other merchants in the market after it is opened, and then I will have to think more about pricing.
"The grocery store I am going to open is different from the current grocery store, this grocery store can be called a supermarket, which means supermarket, and all the things sold in it are placed on the shelves, and the price is clearly marked, so that customers who go in to buy things can choose by themselves, and then check out when they go out." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"What's different about this, isn't it the same as what the shops sell now?" Wan Yunjun asked.
"It's different, the supermarket I opened, things should be as complete as possible, customers who go in may only want to buy a certain thing, but after walking around and seeing another product, they may also buy it, and the business will be much better than the current store." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.
"Owner, this idea is very good, because the supermarket needs a lot of goods, the collective purchase, the purchase price can also be lowered a lot." Tao Pu listened to it from the sidelines.
"Uncle Tao, I'm going to ask you to help take charge of this supermarket, I may need your family to go to the market in a few days, I will tell you how to decorate, and you can help keep an eye on the decoration." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, very surprised that Tao Pu could react to the benefits of the supermarket so quickly.
"No problem, owner."
"Atom, tell me more about this supermarket?" Wan Yunjun thought for a while, and vaguely grasped something, but it was not so clear.
"Supermarket, is the abbreviation of supermarket, mainly engaged in food and daily necessities, compared with traditional stores, it has many benefits, such as more complete goods, the price of goods because of one-time purchases will be lower than the outside store, all goods are clearly marked, will not make customers feel at a loss, and there are many goods on the shelves, customers can purchase all the goods they need in one stop............" Zhao Yuan told about the benefits of supermarkets.
"It's so powerful, I want to enter this industry." Wan Yunjun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile.
"Second brother, you have goods channels and manpower, you can do it, but you have to do a good job in training and management, the profit of this supermarket business will not be lower than that of the soap workshop, if it is bigger, the formation of a multinational chain operation, the profit will be very terrifying." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"It's too difficult, transfer, training, management...... It's a headache to think about, so let's get the soap business done first. Wan Yunjun thought about it, combined with Zhao Yuan's explanation of the supermarket, he was still ready to give up first, and wait to see if there was a chance to do this later.
This era is not as good as later generations, inconvenient communication, inconvenient transportation, coupled with the situation of various countries, if you want to do such a good business, you need to invest manpower and material resources, which is simply terrifying, for Wan Yunjun, small fights are not his pursuit.
"Brother Qian, where can I hire a few helpers like you?" Zhao Yuan smiled and asked Qian Hu who was drinking tea on the side.
"That's right, Qian Hu, Yang Ding, Hui Chong, Luo Yao, among you so many senior brothers, you have good skills and character, introduce a few to the atom here, after all, the atom is not small now, you have to pay attention to safety matters." Wan Yunjun patted his head and said.
"No problem, Second Young Master, Boss Zhao." Qian Hu said with a smile.
"The main reason is that after the supermarket in the town opens, it needs some people to help take care of it."
"Although you are relatively quiet here, and there has been no chaos over the years, you still need to pay attention, Qian Hu, this time we are back to Danling, you go and do this immediately." Wan Yunjun commanded.
Qian Hu and the four of them are the hired family members of Wanjia, and they have been in Wanjia for many years, they have either been soldiers or have specialized in martial arts before, and Qian Hu and the four of them came out of a martial arts gym to learn martial arts.
"Yes, Second Young Master, how many people does Boss Zhao want?" Qian Hu asked.
"Just invite five or six people, and we will discuss the treatment at that time, and we will definitely not treat everyone badly." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Boss Zhao, we can all trust here, don't worry, I will definitely choose the best one for Boss Zhao." Qian Hu said with a smile.
The so-called poor and rich in martial arts, the cost of practicing martial arts can be a lot, Qian Hu is a person who practices martial arts, either to be a soldier, or to provide security services for a big family like Xiang Wanjia, if you can find a good owner, it is a very good thing.
