Zhang Yun couldn't help but smile when she heard that Zhao Zhuo had already had such an idea:

"I have to say, Zhao Zhuo, your business is simply too good!

There are more than 1,000 sheep, why are these more than 20 hot pot restaurants estimated to have no worries about meat for a year."

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"How much meat can these hot pot restaurants use? My idea is, we can go straight to retail."

Zhang Yun was stunned at first when she heard the word retail, and then looked at Zhao Zhuo in disbelief and asked:

"You mean to say we're going to go to the market and open a meat stall?"

Zhang Yun's words made Zhao Zhuo laugh all of a sudden:

"Who said you have to go to the vegetable market to sell meat?"

When Zhang Yun heard this, he looked at Zhao Zhuo with puzzled eyes, and then asked with a wry smile:

"Then you can tell me, where else can you go if you don't go to the vegetable market to buy meat?"

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhang Yun has such a puzzled expression.

Now there is no large-scale supermarket concept, usually buy fruits and vegetables, in addition to the vegetable market, it may be to catch the market.

Therefore, Zhang Yun couldn't imagine where else to buy meat.

Zhao Zhuo smiled and explained:

"We can open a butcher's shop that specializes in beef and mutton."

Zhang Yun pondered for a moment when she heard this, and then said:

"Is this fundamentally different from setting up a stall in a wet market?"

Zhao Zhuo thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case.

"Yes, even if you open a pork shop, there is a high probability that it will be opened next to the vegetable market. Except that the rent is a little more expensive than the stall, there really is really no essential difference!

Thinking about this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"It seems that I was thinking things a little too simply."

Zhang Yun nodded sympathetically:

"That's right, the cost of bringing back so many cattle and sheep on this trip is negligible compared to the market price of beef and mutton here, so we have a lot to do in this business.

However, the question of what form to use is really a question."

First of all, there is one thing that two people can agree on, that is, you can't sell it in the vegetable market.

This is not to say that Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun don't look down on the vegetable market, but the vegetable market has nothing to do with Zhuoyun's other businesses.

In other words, if you want to set up a stall in the vegetable market, Zhuoyun Company needs to find the corresponding person to do this, and there is no way to incorporate the overall operation into the company's financial statistics.

In this way, it is said that Zhuoyun Company has opened up a new business, but it is better to say that Zhao Zhuo has started a side business by himself.

According to the ideas of Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun, the fresh beef and mutton business can be done, but it cannot be done simply according to the vegetable market model.

In this way, the specific operation method needs to be carefully considered and understood.

The two of them sat together and discussed the issue seriously, but there was no good solution.

The two felt that it was difficult to overcome the limitations of the traditional model no matter what.

Just when things were coming to a standstill, Zhao Zhuo suddenly had an idea:

"I have an idea!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly asked:

"What's the idea, say it quickly!"

Zhao Zhuo said slowly:

"I just heard that a piece of land has recently been vacated in the center of Mukden City, so we might as well take this piece of land down and make it into a shopping mall!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun was stunned:

"Let's not talk about your plan for this mall, let me ask you first, is there any relationship between the meat sales we just discussed?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"Of course it does! I'm not talking about a mall, as you understand it, but a department store."

Hearing this, Zhang Yun smiled bitterly and nodded:

"Aren't you talking about the state-run stores before, and now that they are about to close down, you are still thinking about the shopping malls."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled thoughtfully.

The reason why he laughed was not because he was laughing at himself, but because he couldn't help but sigh at the characteristics of the times reflected behind the words Zhang Yun just said.

Decades of economic development is from the state-run department stores in the state-run economy period, to the development of self-employed individual stores, and then there are big companies that have established market share to establish modern department stores.

What Zhang Yun said was in the second stage, while what Zhao Zhuo said was in the third stage.

However, Zhao Zhuo naturally couldn't explain the second and third stages of Zhang Yun's explanation, so he asked with a smile first:

"Tell me first, why can't those state-run department stores survive?"

Zhang Yun couldn't help but smile when she heard this:

"You may not know that my university graduation thesis, which is on the rise and fall of state-run department stores, has really been studied in detail."

Then, Zhang Yun said slowly:

"First of all, the main problem why state-run department stores cannot survive is the stability brought by the state-run economy itself, which leads to employee inertia. In other words, everyone knows that they are working for the public anyway, and they will not be fired, plus they are all paid dead wages, so there is little motivation to work.

In addition, because state-run department stores have been in a monopoly position for a long time, the employees inside are inevitably arrogant and have a bad attitude towards customers.

Because of such accumulated drawbacks, as soon as the individual economy rises, the state-run model will immediately become untenable."

After listening to this analysis, Zhao Zhuo nodded sincerely:

"It's really a special study, and it's really different! This remark is very penetrating, and it can be said that it sums it up very well."

Zhang Yun smiled faintly when she heard this:

"I'm not done here."

Zhao Zhuole said:

"Hahaha, then you go on, I'll continue to listen."

So, Zhang Yun continued:

"In addition, there is another very important reason, which is that the state-run economy naturally lags behind the market in terms of acumen, so it is often one step slower than the individual economy or the market economy in terms of some decisions or timing.

Sometimes, we can't catch up with each step, and if we can't keep up with each step, the state-run economy will inevitably decline in the long run."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"Finished?"

Zhang Yun replied:

"Well, that's it."

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said:

"Have you ever wondered if we can continue to do business if we solve all these problems and make a department store that is completely different from the previous state-run model?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun was stunned at first.

She has a deep study of how state-run department stores are declining step by step, but she has not really studied how to overcome these problems.
