Chapter 196 Convenience Store Chain

After the excitement, the things that should be done still have to be done, even the little aunt, she also has to take her little cousin to the store.

Only Feng Yiping stayed at home. He leaned on the sofa and flipped through the plan he had written, looking at the areas that needed improvement and modification, watching, and fell asleep at some point.

I don't know what's going on, but no matter how old he is, when he returns to his parents, he always feels very comfortable and relaxed, sometimes better than sleeping at his own home.

When he woke up, he wiped his saliva with his hands, and found that he was covered with a blanket. Feng Zhenchang had gone home at some time, and was sitting at the other end of the sofa, reading the plan he had written.

Seeing his son wake up, he raised the plan letter, "You wrote this?"

"Well," Feng Yiping rubbed his hands on his face a few times to make himself more sober, "this is what I have always thought. During the year in Hong Kong, I spent a lot of time to understand and learn. When the prototype of Zhitong's software comes out, I want to try it in the city first."

"Is it really as good a prospect as you said?" Feng Zhenchang still hesitated.

What Feng Yiping wrote in this plan is a chain of convenience stores, which are similar in nature to those in front of the community. He doesn't understand why his son is so optimistic about this kind of business. If Feng Yiping says he wants to open a warehouse that is very popular now He still thinks it's a good supermarket. How many things can such a small store sell in a day? Can you make your money back?

This is actually a misunderstanding of many people. They always feel that the small shops downstairs are not profitable, but it is not the case at all.

We don't discuss the specific market space and profit space, but just one thing, those small shops are all personal, unlike state-owned enterprises, it doesn't matter if you lose a little or make a little profit.

If a store opened by an individual loses money, or if there is no profit other than rent, water, electricity and other expenses, it will definitely close down for three to six months at most.

However, if we think about it carefully, we can see that there are barbershops, restaurants, and clothing stores closed around us, but we haven’t seen a small store like this closed. This shows from the side that it is at least making money.

As for hypermarkets, to be honest, of course Feng Yiping also wants to do it, but there is a harsh fact that later on, except for a very few large chain stores in China, they can still live on their own. Falling at the feet of Wal-Mart and Carrefour.

Although my country has very strict approval procedures for the entry of foreign-funded retail businesses, Carrefour and Wal-Mart entered the country in 1995 and 1996 respectively through flexible arrangements such as establishing a commercial management company in a joint venture with a Chinese-funded company.

With his current capital and lack of talent, it would be unwise to compete with those two companies.

Moreover, more than two decades later, with the rapid development of Internet shopping, these traditional large supermarket chains have also been hit hard. The turnover of stores is shrinking, and the originally optimistic and ambitious expansion plan has also been forced to slow down. , In some places, even closing stores.

At that time, convenience store chains with different brands sprung up like mushrooms in various places. Although they were only chained in the region, almost none of them could go out of the province. Even so, there were quite a few listed.

Therefore, in 1998, this area was definitely a blue ocean.

Feng Yiping probably talked to his father about a few points, and Feng Zhenchang thought about it, it was really the case, he also opened a store, if a store does not make money for three months, he will definitely close it, if a store does not lose money, but half a year It won't make much money, so he will consider closing it.

"That's what you can do?"

"Really, if you do well, you may be able to go public!" Feng Yiping said.

There is another reason to choose a convenience store. After a certain scale is established, you can also sell your own brand in the store. For example, you can put some products from your hometown after deep processing and put them on the shelves, so as to better drive your hometown to become rich.

As far as the people in my hometown are concerned, as long as there are one or two factories with good profits, they will definitely drive everyone to become rich.

Of course, he is not that great, and he came up with this plan specifically to benefit the village. However, while he can make money, he is indeed pursuing the development and prosperity of his hometown.

I can't make myself great, but I can make myself noble. This is a small belief of the reborn Feng Yiping.

"Why not open in the province?" Feng Zhenchang asked again.

"Don't look at it as a small shop, but it's much more complicated than our noodle shop. Think about it, there are only so many single items, don't you think?"

Feng Zhenchang nodded. He knew that it was not easy after he had done it. If there were more varieties of noodles sold in the noodle shop, his workload would be doubled.

"I want to open a few stores in the city for a trial run for a while, mainly to find out the problems in the operation process, and then improve both software and hardware to formulate a reasonable process. It's just based on fantasy. No matter how perfect the plan is, many problems still cannot be found.

At the same time, those few stores can also reserve talents for the future stores. As long as all the work is straightened out, how many stores will be opened in the next month is mainly a matter of store location selection. "

"Then I'll take a good look at the plan."

At dinner, everyone knew about Feng Yiping's new idea, and at first they didn't take it seriously, but after listening to Feng Zhenchang's explanation, they felt that it really seemed to be the case.

"There is still a shortage of people. You are still studying, and you can't do everything, and organize the supply of goods. Don't you have to find someone to go to the factory?" the uncle said.

"I have posted a job advertisement in Shanghai's talent market, and hired a director of operations with a high salary." Feng Yiping said.

The little aunt used a spoon to scrape a piece of fish into fine fluff, and fed it to her son in small mouthfuls, "Everything Yiping has to do must be planned, just tell us what we can do."

It’s still the same, the counters and decorations in the store, but convenience stores and noodle restaurants are different. There are not many wooden products to be used, and the shelves must use metal shelves that are easy to assemble.

As for the others, it is a matter of people, which is not difficult, Feng Yiping thought, let Feng Zhenchang go back to the county, contact the technical secondary school and the technical school, and choose priority to recruit more than 20 people.

This matter should be very easy. The technical secondary schools and technical schools in the county must find a way to recruit students, and on the other hand, they must also find a way to make their graduates have a good place to go. Otherwise, who will spend money to study in the future? ?

Feng Zhenchang only needs to talk about the future, and those school leaders are afraid that they will turn to him.

In addition, this time, it was just right to bring Li Jia over and let her be in charge of the finances while being her own secretary. She has been working for more than a year and is no longer a rookie.

If Li Jia is brought over, then Gao Zhiyi will most likely follow suit. Through them, maybe some universities can be brought over, which is also good as a talent pool!
