Chapter 62: Opening a Dry Cleaner

The proposal to open a supermarket was when Shen Duan thought of Geng Yuhang in his previous life, and after returning to his hometown to get married and have children, the couple opened a small supermarket.

In his opinion, since Geng Licking Dog was able to start a supermarket business many years later, most of them could accept this proposal.

"Supermarket?"

Geng Yuhang was stunned for a while, as if he had seriously thought about Shen Duan's suggestion, and finally shook his head: "Forget about the supermarket, I'm not interested, besides, it costs a lot to open a supermarket."

"Aside from the cost, I have to quit my job to open a supermarket, and I have to stay in the shop all day, and I am bored most of the time."

"Just don't think about it anymore?" Shen Dusk is kind and seductive, how is it different from what he imagined.

"Don't think about it, it's not okay to open a supermarket!" Geng Yuhang's voice was firm.

Zhao Ran saw that the two of them didn't mean to joke at all, but thought about it very seriously.

"I've heard that it's very profitable to sell adult supplies." Finally, he also gave a suggestion.

"Fuck your uncle!"

Geng Yuhang unceremoniously punched Zhao Ran, feeling that the other party was insulting him.

Shen Du secretly said that it was a pity, frankly speaking, he thought that Zhao Ran's proposal was very good, making adult supplies was much more profitable than any supermarket, but when he saw Geng Yuhang's disgusted look, he didn't continue to persuade.

He pondered that it would not take some time to get the two brothers into the Dusk Company.

Anyway, it won't be long before the profits of Dusk Suzhou will become more and more.

It's just that Geng Yuhang's personality is not very suitable, and the best way is to let him do some small business and exercise.

When he is rounded by society and enters the twilight company, he can fully play his advantages.

"What's the deal, this ghost weather, either it doesn't rain for ten days and a half months, it can heat people to death, and it rains so hard that the new clothes I just bought get wet directly."

When a customer enters the store, he scolds and scolds as soon as he enters, and it turns out that the light rain outside suddenly turns into a torrential rain.

The voice of the person who came was very loud, three points stronger than Zhao Ran, which attracted the attention of the diners in the store, and almost everyone turned their heads to look.

Shen Dui was the same, except that when he withdrew his gaze and swept his gaze over a store across the road, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed.

"Yuhang, I think of a good business with a lot of profit margins."

"What business?"

"I have to tell you first, although this business is not as boring as opening a supermarket, it is much more tiring than opening a supermarket. Of course, the profit can at least double! ”

"As long as you can make money, what are you afraid of when you are tired?"

"Can you please stop selling it!"

The last sentence was Zhao Ran's urging, he was obviously very curious about it, and wanted to know what small business could be more profitable than making adult supplies.

"What do you think of the store across the street?"

Shen Du still had a mysterious smile on his face, and the two of them couldn't wait to turn their heads to look.

"Hahaha, we are heroes who see the same thing, and sure enough, I went with me, and the adult supply store is the best choice."

Zhao Ran just glanced at it and laughed heartily.

"Look at the one next door, the one with people in line!"

Shen Dui's head was full of black lines, and he directly stretched out his sweeping leg and gave Zhao Ran a kick unceremoniously.

"Am I mistaken?"

Zhao Ran obviously didn't believe it, turned his head again, and after seeing the store clearly, there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes: "Dry cleaners? ”

Geng Yuhang didn't speak, he was frowning and thinking about something.

"That's right, it's a dry cleaner!"

Shen Du said solemnly: "Don't look at this kind of business as inconspicuous, and it doesn't even seem to be of any grade, but its profit is really higher than that of adult products." ”

If you only talk about physical stores, he is not exaggerating, theoretically speaking, the gross profit of dry cleaners will be more than 80%, or even 90%.

Because, the consumption of raw materials and consumables + water and electricity costs + packaging costs generally only account for 10% of the price of clothing.

However, the real bulk of dry cleaners is the rent and labor costs, and as for the equipment costs, they do not account for much in the long run, and they are one-time investments.

Even if the store is closed one day, these equipment can still be disposed of at a discount and recover part of the cost.

In the development of more than ten years in the future, there are dry cleaners almost everywhere in first- and second-tier cities, and there are many brands that have made a name for themselves, and the franchise fees earned every year are calculated in terms of how many billions.

After Shen Duan just briefly analyzed a few words, Geng Yuhang became interested: "Can you tell me more specifically?" ”

"Okay, since you're willing to listen, I'll talk to you about it."

Shen Du sorted out his thoughts: "Let's talk about the customers of dry cleaners first, almost 80% of people are likely to become your customers, after all, some clothes can't be washed, they can only be dry cleaned, especially in winter."

"There are also some people who are lazy or do not have enough conditions to clean and dry themselves, such as college students and office workers in apartment buildings.

"Speaking of the location of the store, it is generally more reasonable to choose a neighborhood near a university, a dense community and a block with frequent commercial activities, and the so-called commercial block is a place where apartments are concentrated.

"Let's take a dense community as an example, for example, if the occupancy rate is 100%, there are more than 1,600 households; The lilac garden and cherry blossom garden adjacent to the entrance are comparable in scale.

"With close to 5,000 households, even if only 40% of the households have laundry needs, that is, 2,000 households.

"And out of 2,000 households, according to the monthly customer source of 10%, it is 200 households, and the average household washes 3 pieces of clothing, which is 600 pieces.

"Let's assume that there are various types of ready-to-wear garments received, among which shirts are cheap, skirts and suits are expensive, and for the time being, according to 10 yuan per piece, the monthly turnover is 6,000 yuan.

"But have you ever thought that they only wash their clothes once a month? In addition, clothes are cheap in summer, but in winter, an average of 15 yuan a piece may not be enough, right?

"So my approximate prediction is that a monthly turnover of 10,000 yuan is not a big problem.

"And the most important point is that there doesn't seem to be a dry cleaner at the entrance of our community, and you need to walk 400 meters to find one, so you can receive at least 20% of the effective customers.

"In other words, a monthly turnover of more than 20,000 yuan is not empty words!"

Zhao Ran and Geng Yuhang suddenly quieted down, and their breathing became obviously a little short, they really didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous dry cleaner would be so profitable?

It's a huge profit!

Not to mention Geng Yuhang, even Zhao Ran was thrilled at this moment, feeling that it would be more profitable for him to resign and start a dry cleaner.

With a monthly turnover of 20,000 yuan, at the rental price of the store at the entrance of the community, it is only 5 or 6 thousand to find a slightly larger one......

That's almost 10,000!

10,000 yuan in 2004, that was their 8 months' salary, and they had to eat or drink to save it!

"Shen Dusk, help me calculate the cost!"

Geng Yuhang couldn't wait to get up, Zhao Ran didn't say anything cool, and nodded imperceptibly.

"Before talking about the cost, I have to remind you that the above is just my more objective analysis, but what the specific situation is, you have to take the time to investigate it yourself."

Seeing that Geng Licking Dog's enthusiasm was so high, Shen Duan was quite satisfied: "The best inspection is that you spend a week squatting at the door of a dry cleaner and counting their customer flow.

In addition, it is also necessary to record the behavior and habits of guests, such as generally sending clothes by the way when going out to work, and picking up clothes at six or seven o'clock after work; There is a lot of traffic on weekends, and there are few people who do laundry on weekdays, etc.

"Alright, let's estimate the cost!"
