Chapter 434 Xiangning Supermarket
Xu Jinning didn't want to invest, because she knew that although he said he was investing, the little brother didn't need financial support at all. The money he saved from his business was enough.
The reason why the little brother wanted to get her to invest was to give her dividends later.
But she just gave an idea and didn't do anything. Soon she would go back to Beijing and couldn't help much.
Xu Jinning wanted to refuse, but the little brother was firm.
It seemed that if she didn't agree, the supermarket would not open.
What could Xu Jinning do? She had spoiled her elder sister before, so she naturally had to spoil the little brother, not to mention that the little brother was really doing it for her own good.
So, this supermarket became her and the little brother's.
Xu Jinning thought that since she had invested, she couldn't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
So, when the little brother went to attract merchants to settle in, she followed him.
I don't know why everything went so smoothly after she followed him because of her luck.
This morning, the two of them negotiated two more merchants.
Xu Xiangbei took Xu Jinning to eat at the first floor of the newly opened hotel in the county.
This hotel is the official Friendship Hotel, which did not exist in their county before.
In the past, not everyone could enter the Friendship Hotel to stay or eat, and it was only used to entertain some official customers or friends, but now there is no restriction on the identity of the people entering, and ordinary people can also enter.
The first floor is a restaurant.
Today, Xu Xiangbei took Xu Jinning to the first floor restaurant here to eat.
After ordering a few dishes, the two began to chat while waiting.
"Brother, although we need to invite merchants to settle in now, this is only temporary. When our supermarket opens, merchants will see that our supermarket is popular. At that time, merchants may all beg you to settle in."
"It may be difficult to find a place by then."
"Of course, the price can also go up, but it must follow the market and cannot go up too much or be too outrageous."
"Those merchants who have signed a long-term settlement agreement with us cannot increase the price and must follow the contract."
"..."
Now, they are negotiating with merchants to settle in their supermarket. Because this new business model of supermarkets has never appeared here, the attitude of merchants is not very certain. Some people who are timid and dare not try directly refuse.
Some are persuaded by them and think they can try, but the contract period is not long, only one year or half a year.
Of course, there are some people with a long-term vision, and they seem to have inquired about their Xu family, so they directly signed a three-year contract.
Originally, they wanted to sign a five-year contract, or even a longer ten-year contract, but Xu Jinning refused.
Xu Jinning knew too well how fast the country would develop in all aspects in the next few years. To put it in a metaphor, the country's development in the future would be like riding a high-speed train, and it would develop like flying.
The market situation in a few years will be very different from now.
Therefore, three years is the longest term she can accept.
After that, if the cooperation between the two parties is still good, they can continue to renew the contract.
Obviously, after Xu Jinning refused, the shrewd businessman had regrets in his eyes, but he finally signed a three-year contract. However, it was also stated in the contract that after the expiration, he would give priority to renewing with them.
"When most of the merchants have settled in, you can start recruiting employees."
"You can decide the price yourself."
"When the supermarket opens, we can do some publicity first, such as finding someone to design posters and print some flyers to let people in the county and the surrounding areas know about our supermarket."
"In the first three days of the supermarket opening, we can offer some discounts, such as 10% off, 80% off, or 50% off for a certain amount of money."
"And the supermarket can also hold some discounts or promotions regularly in the future."
"..."
Xu Jinning was talking nonstop, talking about the common methods of modern supermarkets, but at this time, Xu Xiangbei was very surprised.
He felt that his sister's brain was really good, how could she come up with so many ways.
Unconsciously, Xu Xiangbei looked at Xu Jinning with admiration in his eyes.
Xu Jinning tried her best to recall and tell Xiaoge everything she knew. After all, she would go to Beijing later, and the operation of this supermarket still depended on Xiaoge.
Now while she is still here, it is good to give more ideas, so that she can live up to her share of the dividends.
"By the way, when the fruits in big brother's orchard are ripe, we can also sell some in the supermarket."
"Now duck eggs are also OK."
"Fish and ducks may need freezers..."
Freezers are not available in the county at present, so supermarkets will not consider fresh frozen food for the time being.
"Ningning, did you forget something very important?" Xu Jinning was talking, and the little brother suddenly interrupted.
"Huh? What is it?" Did she forget something very important?
"What should we name our supermarket?" Xu Xiangbei reminded.
Xu Jinning suddenly realized that, yes, we have to give the supermarket a name, and this name is very important.
"Then we have to give it a nice, catchy and simple name." Xu Jinning recalled the names of modern supermarkets, and there are actually quite a few nice names with good meanings.
But Xu Jinning didn't want to be the same as those modern ones.
"Xiao Ning, I have a name that I think is particularly good. Do you want to hear it?" Xu Xiangbei said with a smile.
"Huh? What is it?"
"It's called... Xiangning Supermarket."
Xu Jinning's eyes widened: !!!
It can't be the Xiangning I thought of.
And soon Xu Xiangbei began to explain excitedly, "One name is taken from your name and mine, your Ning, my Xiang, and Xiangning. This name has such a good meaning. It yearns for tranquility and peace, and people can tell at a glance that this is a supermarket opened by our brother and sister together. How good."
Xu Jinning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Who would name a supermarket like this? It doesn't sound like the name of a supermarket, and it makes Xu Jinning feel a little socially dead.
But seeing the excitement of the little brother, he seems to think this name is really good.
"Little brother, should we consider other names? I think Fujia Supermarket, or Wanfu Supermarket... these are also possible."
Xu Jinning said several names in one breath, hoping that the little brother would quickly forget the four words Xiangning Supermarket.
But...
"Little sister, your names are good, but I still think the name I gave, Xiangning Supermarket, is good."
"Don't you like it?"
Looking at the little brother's eyes as if he would cry if she said she didn't like it, Xu Jinning:...
"I like it, I like it, this is the name that the little brother specially gave, how could I not like it, Xiangning Supermarket, what a good name."
