Chapter 4: The first day of opening a new store
Xiaoguang, who has never had business experience, just got into it directly with another little sister who had an empty business theory.
The two discussed, stumbled, and went through 10 days of decoration, layout, purchase, and order...... It took 100,000 yuan to finally open a decent small supermarket.
On the 11th day, the official collection is open.
In the early morning, the birds have already risen early, chirping non-stop, and the golden sunlight shines through the clouds, shines on the ground, and refracts into the window lattice, reflecting the golden light in a corner of the bedroom.
Xiaoguang lazily squinted one eye, glanced at the dreamlike circle of light refracted by the sun, and pulled the curtain tightly again without any nostalgia, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
The preparations before the opening were really hard, he suspected that he was not here to play games, but to be a coolie, every day big and small, all by himself, a bunch of goods have to be sorted out on the shelves, this boring and repetitive process, consumed a lot of his longing - it turned out that doing business was so cumbersome.
Fortunately, the hellish preparation is finally over, and the time to make money is coming. Hmph, it's time to witness the rise of your business empire.
The world of this holographic entity is no different from reality, and it also needs to sleep, and the quilt also has its own sealing effect, which makes it impossible to get out.
Xiaoguang arched the quilt, rubbed for a while, still didn't want to get up, leaned less, and fell asleep again in a daze.
“…… Brother, brother? ”
……
"Brother!"
"Huh?" Xiaoguang slowly stretched out the roof of his mouth from the bed, only revealing his eyes, as if he was hiding something.
"Brother, you're writhing on the bed, shaking all the time, what are you doing here?"
"Ahem......" Xiaoguang slowly showed his nose and mouth again, and smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing." "It's not time to tell you the secret of me and the fifth girl in bed.
Ling Hu Yingying helplessly pointed to the watch, "Brother, I said that we would open together today, but it's almost noon now." ”
"Yingying, white-collar workers are all working five days and taking two days off, hehe, we've been working for 10 days, one day off, isn't it too much?"
"Well, I really can't help you. I've cleaned up and opened, and I've had a few customers in the morning. ”
"Wow! There is already a business. Xiaoguang excitedly drilled out half of his body, saw his sister's spicy eyes, and quickly drilled back, and said with a smile: "Awesome, we all have business." No, I can't wait to get up and count the money, and the idlers avoid it. ”
"Hmm. I'll go cook first. Ling Hu Yingying smiled sweetly and walked out.
"Don't! Don't, we're our own people...... "Your dark food should be left to the old king next door."
"What's wrong, brother?"
"I mean, aren't we open? No one downstairs is looking at the store, is it okay? ”
"Someone, Uncle Wang just came over next door, he helped me take care of the store, I just happened to go to the toilet, and by the way, I asked you to get up and eat."
Looking at his sister's innocent eyes, Xiaoguang really wanted to ask: Are you stupid?!
"Yingying, didn't you suggest to me a few days ago, saying that we should pay attention to efficiency in doing things, and professional people can make greater contributions by doing professional things. So, in the future, let's go out and buy this kind of thing, OK? ”
"Well, brother."
"In addition, we and Lao Wang are competitors, as the saying goes: shopping malls are like battlefields, and it's not good to leave things like looking at stores in the future to competitors?"
"Well, it's still my brother who thinks about it, and Yingying remembers it."
You're stupid, okay. Xiaoguang stretched out his smooth arm and waved his hand, "You go down first, I'll get up and replace you right away." ”
After Linghu Yingying left, Xiaoguang immediately jumped out of bed, took out the paper to clean his body, and then began to get dressed.
He glanced at the place where his sister was sleeping on the top bunk, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little - Nima, this kind of pattern can't be too exciting.
……
Xiaoguang walked out of the bedroom cleanly dressed and glanced at the hallway, where some goods were piled up in the originally spacious hallway, and another large grocery room on the second floor was also full of lighter goods.
He walked down the stairs, the layout of the store was even more new, near the staircase this piece was sealed, changed into a small warehouse, containing heavier goods, starting from the staircase, it is extended 3 shelves, plus the ledge against the three walls, the goods that can be placed are not too few.
Overall, it's a little bigger than a convenience store and a little smaller than a small supermarket.
The method of regional division, Xiaoguang also came by feeling, some followed his sister's advice, and some Xiaoguang made his own wayward decision, now from left to right, they are food, daily chemicals, small household appliances and groceries.
Despite the lack of experience in all aspects and the rough preparation, it is already very much like a supermarket.
The cash register was located at the entrance to the right of the store, and as for the ice cream area that had been planned, he gave up for the time being. Because an ordinary ice cream machine costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is seriously beyond the budget they can afford.
According to Yingying, if they want to break even now, then the operating profit will at least exceed the rent + water and electricity + taxes + loan interest + inventory cost + labor cost + unexpected consumption of store operation.
The point is that the retail industry is generally not very profitable, and they must ensure sales volume in order to achieve a turnaround in their operations.
In short, the difficulty is not small.
Xiaoguang stood aside and quietly observed, a few young men outside the door, seeing the cute and innocent cashier girl Ling Hu Yingying, obviously couldn't walk anymore, I was afraid that I had to come in to buy something in order to relieve my admiration.
"Wouldn't it? The customers who enter the door in the morning are all this kind of goods? On the first day of opening, it seemed that it was not good for the teacher. ”
Xiaoguang walked to the cash register, opened the cash cabinet and saw that the turnover this morning was less than 100 yuan, excluding the cost, this profit is afraid that he can't even afford lunch.
"Yingying, I'll do it for you, you go out to buy food. Haha, although I didn't make any money, the rumbling of my stomach came as scheduled. ”
"Hmm."
Sure enough, as soon as Linghu Yingying left, a few young men watching at the door also felt bored and left.
Xiaoguang stood in front of the cash register, thought of the plaque of his "Galaxy Supermarket", looked at the people coming and going on the street, and made a grand wish: The money in your pocket will belong to this business tycoon in the future!
Three days passed.
There was an extra stool behind the cash register, and a lazy teenager supported his head with one hand, sleepily guarding the unpopular supermarket, and was disheartened and ushered in the peep of the old Wang next door like a "ministerial-level leader".
"Xiaoguang, the new store is open, and the business is not bad." Lao Wang carried one hand behind his back, stroked his beard, smiled kindly, and was in good spirits.
Xiaoguang yawned and asked calmly, "Won't it?" Did you forget to bring your reading glasses? Can't tell if the business is good or not? Oh oh, I see, it's you who are confused, right? Sorry, I misunderstood. ”
