Chapter 415, Seafood Market

In Zhou Bingxu's view, monopolization is not the right path.

Running a business should be done with integrity, not by relying on these means to make a profit.

After all, they are still very young, there is no need to cut corners, and it is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to play like this.

If you rely on your young age, supported by your parents, and act recklessly, I am afraid it is easy to fall into the crooked path.

Finally, there is a way for a gentleman to have a so-called, and not to do something.

Profit is not the only pursuit, in many cases, enterprises should have a higher pursuit.

For example, PHS mobile phones, such as Apple Group, such as Qihang Publishing House, etc.

Zhou Jimin listened to the differences between the two children, and he didn't know what to say.

The child is still young, he is not so tactful in doing things, and he is not so meticulous in thinking about things.

While these are all good options, it is clear that the methods are either naïve or too crude.

Regarding Zhou Bingxu's ideas, Zhou Jimin has a supportive attitude, but this support does not mean that his ideas are good.

It's his steady way of doing business, step by step, and not taking shortcuts.

But at the same time, he also has great shortcomings and difficulties in such a business.

The consumer market on Hong Kong Island is close to saturation, and even if he develops more new products, it will definitely have a certain impact on the original seafood business on Hong Kong Island.

If that's the case, it's better to open up new markets, or go to new markets.

"Xiao Chang, your question, we'll talk about it later."

Zhou Jimin patted Zhou Bingchang first, and then said to Xiao Xu:

"I just heard you talk about your new business direction, so let me ask you, have you done any research on the Exotic seafood market? Do you know the seafood market over there? Do you know the rules?"

The series of questions made Zhou Bingxu a little confused.

The main thing is that the problems are a bit dense, and he is not ready for it.

After he reacted, he came up with a research report.

"Dad, this is the research report I arranged for someone to conduct in the Strange Country, which is very detailed, and I will learn more about the seafood market in the Strange Country from five aspects..."

After receiving the report document, Zhou Jimin saw ten lines at a glance and saw it quickly.

The investigative report is not complicated, but it is detailed enough.

It's just that after reading it, he feels that the market over there is not profitable at all.

In other words, Zhou Bingxu's meaning is that after picking up the seafood, he will either make it into dried seafood and send it back to Hong Kong Island for sale, or sell the live seafood locally at a low price.

The local market is small, but the locals are lazy too.

Since it is an island country, almost all of its residents live near the sea, so it is very easy to go to the sea.

However, most people still go to the seafood market or supermarket to buy seafood.

Therefore, if you sell it locally, the unit price may not be very high, but it will be profitable and quick turnover, and you can barely mix it up.

"Xiao Xu, according to your idea, how much money do you need to invest? How many years is it expected to pay back?"

At this time, hearing Zhou Jimin ask like this, even Guan Ling and Qin Jingru felt a little unsafe.

After all, the marine resources on the side of the strange country are indeed enviable, but they may not be able to recover their costs quickly, and there is even a risk of losing money and dragging down funds.

The main thing is this business, you can see the head at a glance.

There is no other way than to export seafood.

However, the seafood boss in the Strange Country will still have some regulations, because there are still marine conservation organizations, animal protection organizations, and so on.

Anyway, it is a very strange regulation, as long as it is a ship that goes to sea to salvage, it must follow such a regulation.

Finally, there is the issue of local taxation, which is also a very strange and speechless tax law.

Zhou Bingxu is expounding his point of view, saying that there may not be a lot of profit on live seafood.

But at sea

On fresh and dried goods, there will definitely be more profit margins.

Therefore, on the whole, this business is definitely profitable, and even if it is done well, it will make a lot of money.

"Really? So what can you estimate in today's Hong Kong Island market, how much market share can you squeeze out of the dried seafood you transport back from the exotic country? How much profit can you get?"

"Dad, I haven't started yet, where will I know?"

Seeing the child's embarrassed face, Zhou Jimin smiled and said:

"In business, you can't just think about one step at a time, you have to think about a few steps."

He tapped the child's head and motioned for him to think more.

"Xiao Xu, what about this project of yours, at your age, you can think of so much, it is actually very successful, very remarkable."

Hearing this, Zhou Bingxu should have been happy.

But for some reason, he couldn't be happy.

It seems that he already has experience, and his dad will definitely come with two words in the back: but!

Qin Jingru and the others all listened attentively, even Zhou Bingchang did the same.

After all, there are not many opportunities for Zhou Jimin to attend face-to-face classes.

What's more, there are really very few opportunities like this, and everyone listens very carefully.

"Still, in my opinion, the flaw is too serious."

Really!

Hearing his father's comment, Zhou Bingxu's little face suddenly collapsed, and he knew that it was definitely wrong.

In fact, Zhou Jimin knows very well that if it is a small point, he will definitely think it out very thoroughly, instead of giving such a rough plan.

Although Xiao Budian doesn't like to read these books on business management, it doesn't mean that he has poor talent in these areas.

He just prepared wholeheartedly and worked hard to become a qualified astronaut.

"Xiao Xu, let me ask you, what would you do if the dried seafood market on Hong Kong Island was also saturated?"

"Also, what if the dried seafood you bring in from the Strange Country is not competitive, and it is not salable? Is it sold at a low price? Or are you opening the market at a low price?"

"Do you have a marketing plan? Do you still use the same sales channel?"

Several more questions bombarded him, and Zhou Bingxu cracked.

Zhou Bingchang, who was auditing, didn't know why, but he was very happy.

I guess he saw his brother so embarrassed, so he was a little gloating in his heart, right?

But the next moment, Zhou Jimin looked at the little guy again and said:

"Xiao Chang, isn't your plan aggressive? Let's say you're your brother, and now you have 10,000 tons of dried seafood from the Strange Country, how are you going to sell them?"

Ga!

Zhou Bingchang was stunned for a moment, didn't I watch a play? Why did you suddenly ask me?

After staying for a while, Zhou Bingchang replied:

"Dad, I will put it on the shelves according to our existing channels for sale, and if the price is set, refer to the price of dry goods on our Hong Kong Island."

"Okay, so now these seafood products have been on the shelves for a month, and only a thousand tons have been sold, and there are still 9,000 tons left. But now that a new batch of dried seafood has arrived at the port, and the cargo is 13,000 tons, what are you going to do?"

It should be a good thing to have a good birth, but if it really happens, what Zhou Jimin said.

Things can get tricky.

After all, the assumption that Zhou Jimin said is very likely to appear.

Seeing that the two brothers Zhou Bingxu were bowing their heads and pondering, not knowing how to solve the problem, Zhou Jimin suddenly smiled and said:

"Business management is so complicated, as the helm of the business, you have to think about these things in advance, because the people below, they will not help you think about and solve these difficult problems."

"Think more and use your brain, that's something I often tell you, remember?"

Zhou Qingyue and the others all nodded, and snorted, watch

Show remembers.

Shaking his head, Zhou Jimin continued:

"It's useless to remember, you'll have to learn to think more."

"Like the questions I just mentioned, is there really no solution? I can think of several of them when I think about them, but why can't you think of them?"

Hearing this, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu immediately looked at Zhou Jimin excitedly, and their little faces were full of curiosity.

The latter nodded the foreheads of the two brothers and scolded with a smile: "You guys, you also said that you want to start your own business, and when you encounter problems, you will know to find me, this is how you started your own business? No responsibility at all!"

The two brothers suddenly burst into amusement.

Then, Zhou Jimin dissected with them.

It's very simple, the profit of live seafood in the strange country is indeed very low, and the tax law and other regulations are very strange, since this is the case, then simply don't live seafood This part of the profit.

All of them are made into dried seafood!

Build a distant-water fishing fleet and arrange various seafood processing factories on top of the fishing boats.

All seafood is simply sorted, frozen and packed before being shipped back to the dock for sale.

For example, shrimp can be made directly on the fishing boat by machine to turn them into shrimp.

After sorting, it is packed into bags, and then packed and transferred directly to the supermarket for sale at the terminal.

In the land of Bald Eagle, Zhou Jimin has two brand supermarkets, one is called Tesco and the other is called Costco.

Of course, Zhou Bingxu and the others didn't know that these two supermarkets belonged to Zhou Jimin.

Because it's attached to another advisory group, it's normal for them not to know about it.

However, Xinghai Trading Group also transports goods to these two supermarkets.

Won't the two brothers use the channels of Xinghai Trading Group to talk to Tesco and Costco?

After negotiating the business, it is time to supply.

The two supermarket chains radiate the entire North American market, and these two supermarkets are also in urgent need of cheaper and more stable supplies.

After all, cheap seafood, whether it is dry or frozen, also gives diners an extra choice.

"So, if you mess with the two supermarket chains, Tesco and Costco, does that mean you're opening up the entire North American market?"

Zhou Jimin looked at the two brothers with shiny eyes, and said with a smile:

"People's supermarkets already have such channels, you just need to supply, and when the time comes, it can be said that you will sit and make money, is it cool?"

At this time, the atmosphere in the living room has been completely relaxed.

So you can still do this business?

Tesco supermarket did not enter Hong Kong Island, so everyone does not know very well, it is indeed normal.

However, the family in the living room has not been to Bald Eagle, and has visited the two supermarkets of Tesco and Costco more than once.

However, Zhou Bingxu and the others did not think about opening up the North American market.

"Living on an island also limits your eyes to this small island, and it tightens your mind, and you will only stare at the one-third of an acre of Hong Kong Island, drive away your competitors, and then eat alone, right?"

Zhou Jimin's words made the two brothers Zhou Bingxu ashamed again.

"On weekdays, I have always emphasized to you, go out more, see more of the world, you will really find that there are many differences in this world, many beautiful scenery.....

The family really understood Zhou Jimin's good intentions this time.

It turns out that a lot of what he said before is really very reasonable.

"Jimin, then you must take us out to see more from now on."

Qin Jingru responded with a smile, Xu Mei and the others also echoed, and Zhou Jimin helplessly spread his hands and said:

"Even if you don't have to take me with you, you can still go out on a plane."

They shook their heads one after another, and the children directly said that their father drove it

The plane is relatively fast, hee-hee.

Indeed, all over the world, it is an hour's flight, and this speed is simply invincible.

If you're flying with an airline, it's much slower.

They are used to supersound, how can they be used to turtle speed?

Zhou Jimin shook his head helplessly and said:

"Okay, let's talk about this topic later, now let's talk about your problem."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bingchang suddenly became nervous.

"Your plan, although very domineering and aggressive, is actually very good for self-protection in the business field."

"But if you keep doing business like that, your business is not destined to go far."

"Because eating alone will inevitably attract resentment, and always being at the top of the enterprise can easily make the subordinates in the enterprise breed pride and complacency.......

After a pause, Zhou Jimin suddenly asked, "Then again, if you really monopolize the seafood market on Hong Kong Island, then what do you do next?" How about keeping your business dynamic and competitive?"

Zhou Bingchang thought about it for a while, and lived and learned to make use of it, indicating external expansion.

Hong Kong Island is so small, after the enterprise grows to a certain scale, it will definitely expand externally.

He mentioned that the Garden City side, and the entire Southeast Asian market, can definitely make a difference.

In addition, there are markets on the island of Taiwan and Tokyo.

"Okay, you've said so much, but it's too general, is there any more specific plan?"

This question instantly stumped Zhou Bingchang.

He also heard about the North American market mentioned by his parents just now, and then he thought of it on an improvised basis.

But as for the more specific plan, he really hasn't thought about it deeply, so he definitely can't give an answer.

Zhou Jimin knew what was going on at a glance, and he didn't feel disappointed at once.

When even the two brothers said, then according to what he just said, after sorting it out, write a plan to show him.
