Chapter 47 Supermarket Chains
In the 80s, Jiangcheng had several pillar industries, such as the largest paper mill in Asia, the largest sugar mill in the country, a large textile factory, a coal machinery factory, a motor factory, a lumber mill, and a home factory......
These large enterprises in Jiangcheng created the extraordinary situation of Jiangcheng in the early 80s, and the wages of the workers were almost impossible to spend, and at this time, Li Zhongxin directly set his eyes on the workers of these factories.
What is the most profitable time to do? That is to be a grocery supermarket chain.
Li Zhongxin's idea of doing a grocery supermarket chain had already come up with the idea when he asked Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu to become food stores, but Li Zhongxin felt that the time was not ripe enough, so he didn't implement it immediately.
After Wang Bo came back from the provincial capital of Harbin City and told him about the prosperity of the provincial capital of Harbin City and the prosperity of the shops, Li Zhongxin felt that the time was ripe for him to start this matter.
In 1982, four years after the spring breeze of reform spread across the land of China, there was still only one grocery store on Fufeng Street, where Li Zhongxin lived.
Li Zhongxin remembered very clearly in his later generations that on Fufeng Street, the first grocery store was the Hong Ji grocery store, according to Li Zhongxin's idea when he was a child, the old Hong Tou who opened the Hong Ji grocery store can be said to be the richest person on the whole street.
Indeed, after the Hong family took the first step of cross-era significance, with the accumulation of funds, they began to set up shopping malls in the nineties and became famous businessmen in Jiangcheng.
People who dared to try to be a grocery store in the 80s must not only have the courage to do great things and a tenacious mind, but also have long sleeves and are good at dancing.
It was definitely not an easy time to run a grocery store in the environment at that time, and the ability to keep the grocery store for two years and do well definitely had a special personality charm and unknown energy.
Li Shangyong has made a few shelves for the Hong Ji grocery store, and is very familiar with the eldest son of the Hong family, Hong Bin, from Li Shangyong's previous description, the old man of the Hong family has handed over the Hong Ji grocery store to Hong Bin, and the grocery store made by Hong Bin has exceeded the scale of the old man's grocery store when he opened it.
Hong Bin, the eldest son of the Hong family, went to Wuhan SH and other places in the 80s, and also had a certain purchase channel, but it was very difficult for individuals to do business in the 80s, and large manufacturers did not like to deal with individuals.
After Li Zhongxin had the idea of making a grocery supermarket chain, he became very interested in Hong Bin.
In this era, people who can see so far are very human, and cooperating with such people should be beneficial and harmless.
The most important thing is that the wealth and energy that Li Zhongxin now has in his hands is something that Hong Bin can't compete with at all, as long as they cooperate, they will still follow Li Zhongxin's ideas and practices in the future.
At this time, Zhongxin Company only has two middle-level managers, Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo, who can manage things in terms of fishing, and if you manage this kind of supermarket chain, you really need someone like Hong Bin who has good vision and ability.
After some careful consideration by Li Zhongxin, he led Dong Guozhong and Wang Bo to visit Hong Bin directly.
Zhongxin's reputation in Jiangcheng is very large, although it cannot be compared with those old department stores and large enterprises, but it is also a well-known brand.
As soon as he heard that Li Zhongxin had come to discuss big things, and their thoughts were almost the same, Hong Bin was alive.
Through a series of discussions, Zhongxin Company and Hong Bin reached a preliminary agreement.
Dividing line
Hong Bin squeezed out of the narrow small aisle between the counter and the residence like a knifefish, and he slowly walked to the door, the strong afternoon sun shining on his face, Hong Bin couldn't help but squint his eyes.
As soon as he thought of Li Zhongxin, who came in the morning, Hong Bin could no longer hold back the joy in his heart.
Hong Bin is a son who inherits his father's business and has not read much, but he remembers the words left by his father when he handed him the grocery store.
No matter when, the matter of opening a grocery store is a springboard to start, and now it is the trend of the times, and there will be less and less capitalist roaders in the future, let alone the danger because of the repetition of policies, if the Hong family can expand the scale, even if it is to pay more.
Hong Bin listened to Li Zhongxin very clearly, Zhongxin Company is a village-run collective enterprise, with unique advantages, and Li Zhongxin now has tens of thousands of yuan of idle funds in his hands, in terms of purchase, can get a more preferential factory price.
The Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain that Zhongxin Company is preparing to open, in which the grocery store that originally belonged to the Hong family remains unchanged, but the name is changed, except for the name of the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain, all the others belong to the Hong family.
Hung Kee grocery store is still Hung Kee grocery store to put it bluntly, but what! In terms of products, there will be a lot more than when the Hong family loaded the goods themselves, which means that the Hong Ji grocery store will be more profitable than before.
As the general manager of the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain, Hong Bin's purchase, distribution, and employee recruitment are all attributed to Hong Bin, which is equivalent to the current general manager.
Li Zhongxin had already made it very clear to Hong Bin when he talked to Hong Bin, Hong Bin was responsible for managing some matters, and only received a symbolic salary of 40 yuan a month, and he accounted for 5 percent of the shares of the Zhongxin supermarket chain, and at the end of each year, Hong Bin was given dividends according to this standard, until Hong Bin did not want to do this and wanted to go out and work alone.
Hong Bin knew in his heart that the Hung Kee grocery store did not simply belong to the kind of business license that was handled by individuals, but that the old man Hung Kee was attached to the name of a food processing factory under the Commercial Bureau, which belonged to an external department of the food processing factory, and the Hung Kee grocery store had to pay a management fee of five yuan to the processing factory every month.
After Li Zhongxin proposed such a cooperation method, not only will all the expenses of Hung Kee grocery store be eliminated in the future, but the income will increase significantly.
As for Li Zhongxin's symbolic management fee of 40 yuan per month, Hong Bin did not take it to heart, and whether he gave him this management fee or not was really nothing, what he valued was the 5 percent dividend promised by Li Zhongxin.
In addition, Hong Bin has been considering another proposal by Li Zhongxin, that is, Hung Kee grocery store is completely merged into the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain, and Li Zhongxin will give Hong Bin Zhongxin a 10% stake in the grocery supermarket chain, in addition to a large amount of cash dividends.
Hong Bin has been considering this proposal, after all, the benefit of the Hong Ji grocery store in his hand is very good, and whether this thing of the Zhongxin grocery chain can be successful is another matter.
Hong Bin thought about it for an afternoon, and he didn't think about which way he wanted to choose, so he found his father who played with cats and dogs every day, and asked his father to help him analyze the pros and cons.
There are a lot of profits, and the conditions are very attractive, the company has invested at least 30,000 yuan in a lump sum, 10 percent of the shares, that is at least 3,000 yuan of shares, although the grocery store they are now running is their own, but the total value will definitely not exceed 2,000 yuan, a comparison of the two, 10 percent of the shares of the company is directly worth more than their grocery store.
Li Zhongxin said frankly that if the grocery supermarket chain does well, he will increase investment and strive to build a large-scale supermarket chain integrating wholesale and retail.
The only thing I am worried about now is that Zhongxin Company will roll out such a big stall at one time, even if the purchase and management aspects are handed over to Hong Bin, can Hong Bin support this stall.
After some analysis and comparison between the old man of the Hong family and Hong Bin, the two of them finally made up their minds to form a share with Zhongxin Company and choose 10% of the shares.
It is precisely because they chose such a way of cooperation that the Hong family followed Li Zhongxin to usher in a new development.
