This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 211 Hardware Stores and Supermarkets

"Mom, your factory...I remember it was at the police station, right?"

Li Chuan planned to go over and take a look tomorrow, so he asked about the address.

He had been to the luggage factory once before. At that time, it seemed like he was sending umbrellas or clothes to his mother. It took a long time to remember it.

"The intersection to the west of the police station, five hundred meters south."

"What's the name?"

"Guanfeng Luggage Manufacturing Factory."

"Cunfeng? The 'champion'?"

"The 'champion' of the championship, the 'bundance of the harvest."

After Ma Xiaolian finished speaking, she looked confused and said, "What are you asking about this?"

"I want to go over and take a look."

Li Chuan went to take a shower, changed into his pajamas, walked into his room, turned off the light, lay on the bed, and started playing with his cell phone comfortably.

However, Sanmu Media will start working on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so Li Chuan needs to rush back to Hangzhou before the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

‘Why…wait until I buy the luggage factory and let my parents run it?’

Ma Xiaolian believed it and said excitedly: "That's good. Our factory's products are good, but they can't find sales... Chuan'er, if you can help our factory sell the goods, it will be a big help to our factory... At that time, the boss may not have to sell the factory. When he is happy, he may be able to transfer me to the office."

After that, he had breakfast first and then washed up briefly. At about 8:40 in the morning, he drove Black Alpha away from Liqiao Village and rushed to the town.

Of course, he couldn't really help the luggage factory sell goods. It had nothing to do with the product. No matter how good the product was, he wouldn't sell it because he wanted to acquire the other party.

‘No, it’s too tiring to do catering. Once you are busy, you have to work for a long time and you don’t have time to rest.’

[The intersection on the west side of Meiyang Town Police Station, 500 meters south.]

‘What should I do?’

"It's fine."

Li Chuan sighed and patiently advised again: "It's too troublesome to open a supermarket. You have to remember and load goods every day, and you have to organize the shelves, clean up all kinds of miscellaneous work, and it's not easy at all. Moreover, the goods in the supermarket have a shelf life, and there is a risk of backlog of goods and waste. The operating pressure is relatively high. If you put some fruits and vegetables in it, the pressure will be even greater... Think about it carefully, it's really hard to open a supermarket."

Li Guangwu waved his hand and said, "Just listen to your son, quit your job and stay at home, or go out to play... Your son can make money, so you retire early and enjoy your happiness. You have been busy for most of your life."

The old man's face changed, he looked at Li Chuan again, then turned his head and said, "I don't know."

"The supermarket business is good, and there is no one in the hardware store."

In the following time, the family of three discussed the details of opening a supermarket and set three key points in advance.

Li Chuan suddenly spoke, interrupted his parents who were "quarreling" and said, "Dad, mom, I'll pay you a hardware store."

"Why aren't you staying at home?"

On the first night back to my hometown, Li Chuan slept very hard.

"What are you looking at? What's the best thing to look at?"

After Li Chuan persuaded him for a long time, his mother couldn't listen. She felt helpless and had to turn her eyes on her father for help.

Third, start taking action immediately after the New Year.

The old security guard held his hands behind his back, looked at the car, then looked at Li Chuan, and asked, "What business do you do?"

His idea was to find a business that is not very busy and relatively easy to do, making money or something.

"supermarket?"

Li Chuan waved his hand and explained: "The customers of hardware stores are essentially different from those in supermarkets... People who have no needs will never go into hardware stores; and those who go into hardware stores are all customers with clear needs. As long as you have what they want in your store, they will definitely buy it, and they are all 'go after buying it'. This is the unique commercial attribute of hardware stores. It gives people the feeling that the business seems to be particularly bad, but in fact it is not necessarily true.

How could he do such a stupid thing?

Li Chuan responded guiltily.

"right."

He parked the car in front of the gate, and when he had time to get off, an old man in his sixties came up to him.

He was not deliberately deceiving, but mainly because of the "purchase of luggage factory". His horoscope has not been mentioned yet, so it is not good to say it now.

Li Chuan thought about it and felt that it was also a good choice to let his parents get out of the working group, do some small business, and be the boss by himself.

He didn't know what was going on. Anyway, when he woke up, he felt refreshed, and he felt comfortable from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, as if he was reborn.

Ma Xiaolian refused and said, "I'm not old yet, why retire... Go out to play, where to play, I'm not familiar with the place, and it's so tiring... I'm bored at home, I'm at work, and I can't find anyone to play mahjong. Can I still stay at home and watch TV all day?"

After playing for more than an hour, he felt a little sleepy, so he threw down his cell phone and fell asleep.

‘Okay, then open a supermarket.’

Secondly, the supermarket should not be too large, at most no more than 200 square meters.

"Why can't you?"

"That... I just said it casually."

"No."

“…”

Li Chuan's original intention was to find something for his parents, not to make money. A business that is too busy or too tiring will definitely not work.

‘But what business should you do?’

Li Guangwu waved his hand and said, "Your mother has been busy for most of her life and can't be idle. If you ask her to open a hardware store, you have nothing to do all day, but you will get into trouble. Open a supermarket for her and have some work every day, but it's not too busy. This is good."

"Then what are you transferred to the office to do?"

"I can understand, but I still think it's better to open a supermarket."

He thought for a while and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Based on comprehensive judgment, it is the most suitable place in the town.

Li Chuan said the truth: "However, I haven't confirmed it yet, I want to take a look first."

This is the unanimous agreement of the family of three.

His hometown is "Meiyang Town", and his full name is "Meiyang Town, Wenyang County, Wen City, Zhejiang Province". His economic development is pretty good and belongs to a relatively developed township around him.

"Not much, it's similar to us (ordinary workers), more than 4,000 a month, and some are even less than us."

Li Chuan frowned slightly and said, "Why?"

"Do you want to buy this factory?" the old man turned around and asked.

"This matter is not decided yet, I... try my best."

“Hardware store?”

Li Guangwu asked as he followed Ma Xiaolian's words.

‘Let them find something to do?’

"That... I'm not doing live streaming and selling goods, such as suitcases and schoolbags, which are quite suitable for selling in live streaming rooms. I plan to go there tomorrow to see if I can cooperate."

The above is the result after more than an hour of discussion, and the overall efficiency is still OK.

Li Chuan said intimately, reached out and pulled my mother's arm, interrupted, "Okay, mom, stop talking, let's listen to you and open a supermarket."

My mother has this idea, and as a son, he should also show respect.

In comparison, although the hardware store has a small traffic, it can really make money... I say that, can you understand?"

"I heard that this factory... is going to sell it, right?"

Li Chuan shook his head and ignored it.

At this time, he probably understood what his parents were thinking... When his son could make money, they were willing to enjoy more, but they were not old and were completely idle and did nothing, so they were unwilling to do anything.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and they want to rent shops and contact the source of goods, but they can't find anyone. Moreover, they have a lot of things to be busy with and have no time to handle the "opening of supermarkets" at the moment, so they can only wait until after the New Year.

"no!"

"Go back tonight."

He has experienced this scene since he was a child, and he has long been used to it.

Li Guangwu realized Li Chuan's intentions, pondered for a moment, and said, "Chuan'er, your mother is willing to open a supermarket, so let her open it."

For him, the luggage factory is the first step in the "self-built supply chain plan" and is very important. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be very serious. My parents have worked all their lives and have never been a leader, so they may not be able to cope with it. Even if they can barely be competent, the subsequent work pressure will be very high, and it will definitely not be easier than working, and may even be more tiring... This obviously goes against his original intention.

"Who did you hear?"

‘Open a restaurant?’

Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian were talking and arguing.

Previously, he suggested opening a hardware store, just to make his parents feel more relaxed... His idea was right, but he was just wishful thinking.

The luggage factory is now under hindered sales and is in trouble. The boss can't solve it. He wants to sell it to the outside world. This is the best time for him to take over... If he helps the other party come back to life, the boss will see that the factory's operating efficiency is good and he doesn't want to sell it anymore, what should he do then?

Even if he can finally achieve the acquisition intention, the cost he will have to pay is much higher than before.

"Business? Well, it's a bit of business."

“That’s just a appearance.”

‘They don’t have any hobbies, what can they do?’

Li Chuan nodded and said, "The hardware store is a good business. The profits of goods are relatively large and there is no shelf life. Don't worry about the backlog or depreciation of goods. Although the initial investment cost is relatively large, it is very easy to operate in the later stage. Basically, it is just waiting for customers to come to the door every day, without doing anything else, or even not opening the door. You post a phone call at the door of the store. When the customer sees it, he will call you on his own... What do you think?"

"I said... can't you enjoy the happiness? My son can make money, why are you doing nothing? Just stay at home honestly... From now on, I will change my job."

“…”

There are already supermarkets in the village, and there are two, and another one... It's not bad, but the market is too small, and the competition among the three supermarkets is too fierce, which is particularly easy to cause disharmonious relationships among neighbors; the county town has a large market and high customer quality, but the distance is a bit far, more than ten kilometers, so it's inconvenient to go back and forth.

“What business?”

My mother has her own ideas. She feels that she is not old yet and doesn’t want to start a retirement life in advance. She wants to open a supermarket and work harder.

"Ah? This..."

My mother is really lazy and has a personality that can’t be idle. If she forcefully suppresses her, problems may arise.

"What do you mean?"

"oh?"

Liqiao Village is only four or five kilometers away from the town. It takes ten minutes to ride an electric bike. Moreover, there are not many supermarkets in the town and the market is relatively large, so there is absolutely room to open another supermarket.

This idea just came to my mind and was rejected by Li Chuan.

"No kidding."

“Not very good.”

First, try to open a supermarket in town.

"That's it."

When Ma Xiaolian heard this, she became quiet in an instant.

"You're not kidding?"

At eight o'clock in the morning, he got up.

Li Chuan didn't tell the truth.

“…”

There is still a big difference between doing business and working... When doing business, you have the final say and the time arrangement is relatively free; when working, you have to obey others' control and abide by various rules and regulations. If you are not free in your schedule, you will be scolded and the pressure is quite high.

"Forget it."

Ma Xiaolian gave Li Guangwu a blank look and said, "The office doesn't have to work, it just processes documents and manages workers. Moreover, the working hours are very regular, from nine to six, and you don't have to stay up late every day..."

‘The business cannot be too big, it must be as small as possible so that parents will not be under pressure and can cope with it.’

Li Chuan successfully found the "Guanfeng Luggage Manufacturing Factory" according to the direction her mother prompted.

"What's up?"

Ma Xiaolian refused without thinking and said directly: "It's better to open a supermarket than to open a hardware store."

“I have this idea.”

...

"Can I go in and take a look?" Li Chuan still had a smile on his face.

He has never slept so peacefully since he was reborn.

At about 8:40 minutes at night, everyone disbanded.

‘Well…this is OK.’

Thinking of this, he dispelled his previous thoughts.

He lowered his head at his own discretion and thought about what his father had just said, thinking it made sense.

Supermarkets are different. Supermarkets can be "shopped". There is a saying that "shopping in supermarkets" all over the world... I spent a long time in the supermarket, but in the end, I might not buy a single item. Such traffic volume does not make much sense because you can't make a penny.

Li Chuan sat next to him with a headache.

Therefore, their time is relatively tight. They must rent the shop before the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, arrange decoration matters, contact the source of goods, etc.

‘Why… take some money and do some small business for them?’

In the blink of an eye, Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian started arguing again.

"What a casual word, I think you did it on purpose! You think I'm old and can't do anything, right?"

"Does the factory office make a lot of money?"

Regarding the selection of supermarket locations, they have discussed three plans, namely the village, the town and the county.

When Ma Xiaolian heard Li Guangwu's words, she was instantly dissatisfied: "I opened a supermarket to make money. Why did it seem like I was providing for my retirement? I am only in my forties and I am not old yet!"

"You...ah~."

Li Chuan fell down the car window glass and said with a smile.

Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian had never done much business before, and they were too big. They were afraid that they would not be able to handle it and would lose a lot of money by then. Li Chuan just wanted to find something for his parents, but he didn't want to make money, so he didn't want to sell the stall too big.

"The office is free."

Li Chuan looked a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle, let me ask you for some information first."

"Me? I definitely can't stay at home."

"this……"

‘What should I do?’

"It's hard for you. Your dad and I are old and can't move. What's this hard work? It's far worse than our work."

"Uncle, aren't you going home on New Year's Eve?"

Li Chuan said, took out a bag of Huazi from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "You are polite and polite and let me go in and take a look, and you will come out immediately."

The old man glanced at Huazi, then looked at Li Chuan, silently reached out to take it, and then said, "The car can't get in."

"Okay, thank you."

Li Chuan's face was filled with a smile.
