Chapter 65: Supermarket? Or wholesale market?

Fang Mingyuan nodded. At least in terms of convenient transportation, this place has met his requirements. Although it is a long way from the center of the county, as long as there is convenient transportation, abundant goods, preferential prices, and thoughtful service,

There is no need to worry about no customers coming. This will be his first experimental field to set foot in business, and it will also be his foundation in the future, so there is no room for carelessness.

The factory door was not locked. Zhou Yuanchao pushed it open with a gentle push. The factory entrance was an open space with a cement floor. Fang Mingyuan thought in his mind that this place could be opened up as a parking lot. Although Pingchuan is now

In the county, it can be said that there are almost no private cars, but the amount of public welfare purchases is much larger than that of later generations. And it won't be long before those individual workers will gradually purchase trucks.

, leaving room in advance is undoubtedly a good thing. As for now, it can also be used as a parking place for bicycles.

After walking a few steps to the factory area, a factory building appeared in front of Fang Mingyuan and the two of them. From the outside, the factory building looked a bit shabby. Many of the glass windows on the wall were broken. The door of the factory building was also stained with rust. It looked really good.

As Zhou Yuanchao said, no one has been here for a long time. Through the glass windows on both sides, Fang Mingyuan could see that it was empty and full of dust, and there were some miscellaneous things discarded in it.

"Mingyuan, what kind of supermarket are you going to open here? What is that?" Zhou Yuanchao asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Zhou, supermarket is the abbreviation of supermarket. It can also be called a self-selected shopping mall. It is a large-scale comprehensive retail mall operated in a customer-selected manner. This is the main form of commercial retail organization in many countries, especially economically developed countries. It was the earliest

In the United States in the 1930s, when the United States was in an economic crisis, an American founded the world's first supermarket. The average gross profit of goods in his store was only 10%. At that time,

In other stores in the United States, this item is 25% to 40%, so as soon as it was launched, it was immediately welcomed by the American people. After World War II, especially in the 1950s and 1960s,

Supermarkets have developed rapidly around the world. At first, supermarkets mainly dealt with various foods. Later, the business scope became increasingly wider and gradually expanded to the sale of clothing, household daily necessities, household appliances, toys, furniture and medicines.

Supplies, etc. But this thing is not a new thing in China. I remember that the first supermarket in China appeared in Beijing in 1983. But its area was not large, only more than 200 square meters.

, it gets a bit crowded when there are more customers. Moreover, they only sell meat, vegetables, and non-staple food, and the prices are much more expensive than ordinary places, so most of the people who go there are foreigners. That is, people from the capital.

Go in and take a look, you won't buy anything." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"For foreigners? How can we have so many foreigners here?" Zhou Yuanchao was startled and said, "Mingyuan, you have to think clearly. People in Pingchuan County are very poor, not to mention that the prices are much more expensive than ordinary places.

, you are only 1% more expensive, I am afraid many people will not come to you. You have invested so much, don’t lose it!" He already knew that Fang Mingyuan mortgaged the monkey ticket in his hand for 400,000,

On the one hand, he couldn't help but be a little worried. If the investment of such a huge sum of money failed, it would mean that Fang Mingyuan would face double losses on loans and monkey bills; on the other hand, he couldn't help but admire that a man from a township

The young man, with his outstanding foresight, was able to save such a considerable amount of money on a small monkey ticket. Moreover, he had such extraordinary courage and dared to invest it in business. Looking back on his current situation,

That is a deep feeling of inferiority.

Fang Mingyuan smiled confidently and said: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry. When this supermarket opens, not only will the prices of the products not be more expensive than outside, but they are also guaranteed to have a greater discount than them!"

Zhou Yuanchao was still a little worried and said: "Mingyuan, it's not that I don't believe you, but how can you attract the people of Pingchuan County? I have stayed here all my life, let alone those farmers and ordinary enterprises near the county seat.

employees, that is, we are the ones who wish we could cut our wages into eight-petal flowers this month. If you set the price too low, will you be able to make back your money? Renting this place for a year will cost a lot of money.

.You have to consider these things carefully and don’t waste your money.”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh. This problem actually has quite a lot of commonalities. In his previous life, he once looked at the prices of the goods in the supermarket, and felt as if he was dazzled - how could it be possible?

With such a big difference from the market price outside? He had doubts about whether the supermarket could still make money with such a low price. But as he grew older, he naturally understood the trick here.

"Uncle Zhou, in order to ensure a low selling price, the purchase price must be low. Only a large number of purchases can lower the purchase price. The goods in the market are all mechanized packaging in advance, and are packaged according to certain weights and specifications.

They are placed on the shelves respectively, with clearly marked prices. Customers perform self-service and can choose at will in the market. Moreover, the market has a complete range of products and is easy to select. People can buy most of the things they need for daily life in a shopping mall.

products, eliminating a lot of trouble. At the same time, the products are automatically marked, priced, and settled with high efficiency, which also saves customers' time. And because the mall's operating efficiency is good and costs are reduced, the prices of the products are relatively low, so this

Only a sales method will be welcomed by the majority of customers."

Fang Mingyuan actually had one sentence he didn't say: "Computers and other modern equipment are widely used in supermarkets. This allows managers to quickly understand the sales situation, save, organize and package goods in a timely manner, automatically mark prices, calculate prices, etc., thus improving work efficiency.

Expanded sales volume." This approach cannot be realized in China in the short term, and its cost is also too high. Fang Mingyuan has no intention of introducing such a management method at this time. However, equipment such as cash registers

It's not a rare item.

"The packaging is all mechanized, with automatic price marking and high-speed pricing and settlement. How is it possible to do what you said?" Zhou Yuanchao said in disbelief.

Fang Mingyuan smiled. Zhou Yuanchao's reaction was not beyond his expectation, but he did not want to explain more on this issue. He had already entrusted a company in Hong Kong to purchase a batch of second-hand supermarket equipment and wanted to wait until the place was almost ready.

, the equipment arrived. When the time comes, facts speak louder than all words.

And the results of this model may not be too obvious in Pingchuan County today, but once it runs smoothly here and everything is on the right track, Fang Mingyuan's next goal is Fengyuan, where the supermarket will really develop and grow.

Local. The huge population of millions, the influence radiating across the province, and the flow of people from all over China will provide a steady stream of customers for the supermarket. This will bring huge profits and huge capital flows, which will provide Fang Mingyuan with a steady stream of customers.

Lay a solid foundation for the next expansion.

"Uncle Zhou, you only need to remember one sentence - whoever can make consumers complete a happy shopping with the least expenditure, the shortest time, the fastest speed, the lowest price and the best service, whoever can

Can maximize the advantage in market competition." Fang Mingyuan used this to temporarily bring the conversation between the two to an end.

However, the further Fang Mingyuan walked in, the more he frowned. This factory seemed a bit too big at the moment, and the supermarket he planned to open was not as all-inclusive as the supermarkets in later generations, but only limited to food.

, non-staple food, household daily necessities, etc., and with Huaxia’s current commodity supply brands, it is simply impossible to fill such a large factory with these types of goods. If this place is rented, it will undoubtedly have to be idle.

A rather large part of the factory building was definitely unacceptable to Fang Mingyuan.

However, what he saw made him think of another idea more and more. Since the factory here is so wide and the transportation is quite convenient, it would be a good idea if it could be developed into a wholesale market.

choose.

Pingchuan County is located in the west of Weinan District, not far from Tongchuan, Fengyuan, and Weinan. The transportation is also convenient. Not only is there a railway connecting the three places, but there is also smooth road transportation. These three cities are in the middle of Qinxi Province.

It is a relatively important city with a large population. As far as Fang Mingyuan knows, it seems that so far, the three places do not have a large-scale commodity trading market. If a large-scale commodity trading market can be built here, it will undoubtedly be a big help to the three places.

It plays a direct role in promoting the business activities of local small and medium-sized enterprises and individual and private enterprises. Fang Mingyuan clearly remembers that in the previous life, Yiwu was famous for its small commodities. After 2000, there were more than 500,000 people engaged in wholesale transactions in the Yiwu Commodity Trading Market.

It has driven more than 20,000 small commodity manufacturing companies in Yiwu City, more than 40,000 small commodity manufacturing companies in the surrounding areas of Yiwu, and more than 1 million industrial jobs, which fully reflects the vitality of circulation in driving economic development such as industries.

The more Fang Mingyuan thought about it, the more excited he became. How could he have forgotten this aspect? If he could successfully promote the establishment of this market, it would undoubtedly significantly improve the economy of Pingchuan County, increase the county's fiscal revenue, and improve the economy of Pingchuan County.

The income level of county residents will also provide a strong impetus for their own supermarket plans.

"Uncle Zhou, let's go, take me to the county government first!" Fang Mingyuan said excitedly to Zhou Yuanchao, who was still thinking about his words.
