Chapter 885 Open a Shop at the Speed of Sausage Production
Large cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Houston suddenly have a lot of 24-hour convenience stores.
Most of them are just being renovated and haven't opened yet. Even so, it has attracted the attention of many people.
Well, it doesn't matter if you open a store, one on the street and one on the other, boss, you are sure you won't rush to the street to die.
Wait, isn't the Wall Street Journal talking about store closures? Damn it, I saw at least three new stores on my way to work, and you told me about the wave of store closures. A serious media, how can you engage in fake news?
"Editor-in-chief, they are indeed closing stores, including gas stations, they have closed at least a hundred stores a week."
"Really? Very good, go and explain to the boss yourself. Let me tell you, they are opening stores at an unbelievable speed."
Those who work in the media are most worried about being called unprofessional. So far this morning, they have answered dozens of complaint calls.
Well, I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, not the tabloids on the streets of Los Angeles. If you can't tell us the news in time, please don't make it up.
Just as he scolded his subordinates away, before he could catch his breath, he was immediately attacked by his boss. If it weren't for the special position of editor-in-chief, this guy would definitely not be able to keep his job.
"The news related to William White must be confirmed. If it happens again, you should write a letter of resignation."
"Okay, boss, I will review it carefully."
The thing is actually not that big, it's just a 24-hour convenience store, and it's not William White's company.
The problem lies in the title. What you write is not good, but what you want to write to pay for the crazy expansion.
Nima, you are blind. If it was crazy expansion in the past, tell me, what is it called now? Pretty crazy expansion?
"Charlie, it seems that we are right. He is indeed weaving logistics channels. And this 7-11 is the final terminal."
"Warren, it's not enough. I sent someone to investigate in the foot basin. 7-11 has already started selling Viking cartoons. Although it's only a weekly magazine, the sales are quite good."
"Newspapers and magazines? Damn, this is not just a honeycomb, it can also promote the sales of newspapers and magazines. I'm curious, what kind of person would go to a convenience store to buy newspapers?"
Charlie Munger smiled wryly, not to mention newspapers and magazines, foot basin people buy cigarettes, lunch boxes and small raincoats, and they buy anything they can buy in 7-11.
When he first heard this statement, he was in a bad mood. Convenience stores are so expensive, at least 15% more expensive than those stores, are you fooled by the economic crisis?
Once upon a time, the foot basin people also had a dream, driving a van to go shopping in the supermarket, and then go home to fill up their refrigerator.
Ahem, unfortunately, their dreams were destroyed by a group of cowboys. A severe economic crisis will cause great trauma to society.
Remember the plot of Initial D? What's the name of that innocent girl?
It doesn't matter, it's not that the author likes the green male protagonist, this is the real situation of the foot basin.
If there were no economic crisis, the plot of this book would not be able to advance in this way.
No matter how good the 86 is driven, it is useless, and the greasy uncle green who drives a Mercedes-Benz is the same. When I saw this paragraph at the time, William White was confused, Nima, what are you doing? Could it be that I read it wrong before, this is the core of the comics, all the racing horses are just clouds.
If he lived a new life, he would certainly not be so superficial, nor would he be so glass-hearted. The angle is different, and now he may be more like that greasy uncle.
What other authors are talking about is a social phenomenon, which really exists in the foot basin. There is no childhood sweetheart, and marriage has become a cooperative production model.
The proportion of marriages has dropped significantly, and there is no way to look at the data of newborns. I don't know, I thought it was a time of war.
Not falling in love, not getting married, not having children, this is no longer an isolated phenomenon in the foot basin.
So here comes the question, the number of family units has decreased, why do you still go to supermarkets?
Buy a watermelon and come back, have you finished eating it?
This is not a joke. You can buy whole watermelons, which are rare in supermarkets.
The biggest difference between a large supermarket and a 24-hour convenience store is not its operating hours. That is to say, in European and American countries, these stores in Asia will not close early.
The most outrageous thing is of course the Rabbit Country. Metro opens at six o'clock in the morning and stays open until ten o'clock in the evening.
Weekend?
Those that do not exist are open all year round.
The packaging in supermarkets is relatively large, and you take the family as a unit, so there is no problem with this. If it is an individual unit, there is really no need to go, the packaging of these products is too big.
Later, the patrons of these shops were all small merchants, or those who opened restaurants or bars.
Hehe, it’s similar to Metro in Rabbit Country. You have to have a business license to apply for a card. Without a membership card, they won’t let you in.
"Warren, their consumption habits are different from ours, and we may have made a fuss. The same scene is also happening in Footbath and Southeast Asia."
Buffett started to feel dizzy. Of course he has been to a 24-hour convenience store, isn't it just to buy a bottle of Coke while refueling?
"Charlie, do you buy all your necessities in this kind of store?"
"Yes, I may go to that kind of large supermarket once a month, or I may not go to it in a month."
"My God, this is a total disaster. How is this possible?"
"Warren, my friends told me that they have bentos at 7-11 at noon, um, it's the kind of food that comes with food.
Sometimes it is like this at night, and I may need to work overtime after eating a little. They would go again when they got home to buy bread and milk for the next morning. "
After saying these words, Charlie Munger stopped talking, and the two old guys were relatively speechless. From a human point of view, this shit is really hard. If you live like this for a long time, it is hard for you not to become crazy.
"Charlie, so we did all of this."
"You have to say that, it's not impossible. Before that, they still enjoy life very much.
It's not going to work now, the people in the foot basin are poor, and they are not willing to spend money. "
"Ahem, don't tell me they don't want to have some fun?"
Charlie Munger looked at Buffett strangely, he didn't know what to say.
"Disneyland is overcrowded every day. The proportion of users who buy annual passes is the highest in the world. There are also comics and game consoles. By the way, there are also special action movies."
Well, Buffett is really powerless to complain, the more miserable the foot basin is, the more money William White makes. Except for not dealing in that kind of action movies, this guy does almost any business.
In fact, Buffett didn't know that William White had also thought about this business.
As for why you gave up later?
Well, doesn't he have a child?
Although he understands why the convenience store in the foot basin is popular, Buffett is still a little puzzled. A footbath is a footbath, and the United States is the United States. Even during the economic crisis, the United States has not reached this level.
For US imperialism, they are used to this kind of hysterical economy.
Although the economic crisis is painful, it will pass in a short time. Your foot basin has been tossed a little bit, could it be that you will not recover.
Of course, Buffett doesn't know that people with foot basins are extremely confident. This kind of people has a flaw. They can't be hit. Once they are hit too hard, they will become extremely inferior.
