Back To 2005

"You don't know, I'm at home looking after the store, how do you know?"

Faced with her husband's confused eyes, Wang Jingyu, who rarely goes to the city recently, was also confused.

She had heard about the relocation of the old station, but she didn't know about the change of the original address of the old station. She had no time to care about it because the online store was busy.

"It's the five-story building that was just built on the original site of the old station. Dad, you should have seen it."

Knowing that Tianrun Supermarket had not started official promotion yet, Zhou Anan explained in detail.

Under normal circumstances, large supermarkets will carry out a series of publicity one month before their opening. However, the Lizhou store of Tianrun Supermarket, which is preparing to open on Christmas Eve, is still intensively preparing for the opening and has not yet entered the publicity stage.

"What supermarket are you talking about? Which floor of the building is it on?"

When he heard about the place where his son opened a supermarket, Zhou Youliang thought it was good and asked for the specific address.

Of course he knew the newly built luxury building on the site of the old station as he often drove by it. Two days ago, there were people in the village talking about what was being done there. His guess was that most people opened large shopping malls, which was also the most reliable.

Unexpectedly, my son quietly rented a store and opened a supermarket there. The location and environment were good, and the specifications were high enough. However, the cost of opening a store was a bit high, and I didn't know if it would be profitable.

"What floors are there? The whole building is covered."

"Pfft, cough cough cough cough."

Zhou Youliang, who was drinking tea, was accidentally scalded. After spitting out the hot water, he coughed one after another and his face turned red.

Just the supermarket in the whole building would cost tens of millions?

What does such a big supermarket sell?

"It won't make you worry even if you drink some water. Are you okay?"

Handing over a tissue, Wang Jingyu patted her husband's back and asked with concern.

She was surprised when she heard her son's words, but it was easier to accept. After all, her online store's thermos cup sales today had a turnover of more than 7 million.

"It's okay, I'm okay."

Zhou Youliang stopped coughing and waved his hand, then looked at his son across from him with a red face: "How much is the annual rent for that building? The cost is so high, why don't you lose a lot by opening a supermarket?"

Subconsciously, Zhou Youliang was thinking about the cost of renting the building. The supermarket is not a gold store, so what use can such a large area be? If it loses money, it has to close down.

"It's okay. I bought the land and built that building myself."

After hearing his father's concerns, Zhou Anan explained with a smile.

Zhou Anan, who knows that his father always plays it safe, feels that this supermarket business is really suitable for him. He doesn't have to pay rent, he can make a profit without losing any money, and he doesn't have to bear any pressure at all.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Taking the tissue from his wife and wiping his face again, Zhou Youliang leaned on the back of the sofa and asked hoarsely: "How much did you spend on this supermarket? Who did you partner with? Where did you get so much money?"

"It cost about 80 million. I cooperated with Tianrun Group for development, and I held 68% of the shares. Didn't I open a training department with this money? I invested some of it in the stock market. I accidentally made ten times the profit, so I took it out. Opened a supermarket.”

Facing his father's three consecutive questions, Zhou Anan answered calmly.

Speaking of the source of the money, Zhou Anan's words were half true and half false.

He originally made ten times the profit from buying TX stocks and sold them at the highest point to withdraw cash. However, this was not the true source of the 58 million investment in Tianrun Supermarket.

"You have so much money to invest in opening a supermarket?"

When he heard that the total investment of 80 million yuan was not made by his son alone, Zhou Youliang's heart trembled a little when he thought of that huge number.

It's a crime to open a supermarket with tens of millions.

"You will definitely not lose money if you buy land and build your own house. You also know the housing prices in Lizhou City. If the supermarket loses money, it is no problem to resell it and make tens of millions."

"."

Half an hour later, a black Audi A4 parked at the entrance of the unopened Tianrun Supermarket parking lot, and was greeted by a young man waiting there with a smile.

"Manager Wen, this is my dad and my mom. Mom and Dad, this is the current person in charge of Tianrun Supermarket Lizhou store, Manager Wen Yi."

Zhou Anan got out of the car and introduced both parties.

After learning about the tens of millions of investments, even his mother Wang Jingyu, who had not yet finished the JD Mall activity day, also came with her.

Anyway, the online store business will not run away, but my son's huge investment must be really cautious.

Tens of millions. Since her online store opened, the business is booming, but she has not made 10 million. However, her son has quietly spent tens of millions to open a supermarket.

Really are.

"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, hello."

"Manager Wen, hello, hello."

After shaking hands with the gentle young manager, Zhou Youliang looked at the exterior of the luxurious building, feeling a little unreal.

"Mr. Zhou briefly mentioned the specific matter to me. In this way, I will introduce our supermarket to you two."

Looking at the young boss, Wen Yi smiled and led the way.

"This is the entrance to the supermarket. This floor is mainly for children's books, affordable clothes, and electrical appliances."

Following Manager Wen from the supermarket entrance on the third floor to the exit on the first floor, Zhou Youliang found that the fourth and fifth floors were not mentioned, so he asked curiously: "Manager Wen, what are the fourth and fifth floors used for?"

"The fourth floor, fifth floor, top balcony and basement level are all used as parking lots."

Facing the question from the future general manager, Wen Yi answered without any impatience.

“Isn’t it too wasteful to use so much space as a parking lot?”

Zhou Youliang asked with pity as he secretly smacked his tongue when he heard that the four floors were used as parking lots.

"No waste, the number of cars in Lizhou is increasing significantly, but there is no parking space planning in the urban area. Moreover, Lizhou just established an urban management brigade in the first half of this year, and its first task is to rectify the parking chaos in the urban area. elephant"

Whenever the big boss and his father had questions, Wen Yi would answer them patiently.

With the introduction of Big Boss, a local person, Wen Yi and the leaders in Lizhou knew everything about it and had extensive information. They were very impressed by Big Boss's original plan for a four-story parking lot.

Taking one step at a time and looking at three steps, even the "little smart" people in the planning department of their group headquarters will not think so long-term and will only plan the Lizhou store according to the regular layout of other domestic stores.

After that, Wen Yi briefly introduced personnel training, cargo transportation, daily management and other issues without any impatience, reflecting the qualities of a professional professional manager.

"Manager Wen, I'm really bothering you tonight. How about we treat you to a supper?"

After Zhou Youliang had a general understanding of Tianrun Supermarket's preparations, he looked at his phone and saw that it was already half past nine in the evening. In the blink of an eye, he had delayed the other party for nearly three hours. He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to treat the other party to a midnight snack.

"No, no, no, I've been exercising recently and haven't eaten late at night. If Mr. Zhou has any questions, you can call me at any time or come to our site for an inspection. I'm usually there."

Faced with the invitation from the big boss and his father, Wen Yi, who met for the first time, was naturally embarrassed to accept it.

"Okay, I'll bother you, Manager Wen, tonight."

After parting ways with Manager Wen, Zhou Youliang was relatively quiet as he drove home with his wife and son.

After returning home, Zhou Youliang asked his son to sit in the living room to sort out his thoughts and said with some anxiety: "Son, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage a supermarket as big as yours."
