Chapter 82 Thank you for coming to see me.

Yu Lang looked at Tang Jialin and waited for her to come.

"You just said that your father drank poison to quench his thirst - Jixiansheng has not yet achieved profits, right?"

Yu Lang nodded: "All stores are still in the early stage of investment."

"In other words, the entire e-commerce business suffered serious losses." Tang Jialin translated herself.

Yu Lang paused and nodded: "Yes, but they are all within expectations."

Tang Jialin asked: "When do you expect to start making a profit?"

Yu Lang inexplicably had the illusion of facing investors, "Stores in this city are expected to turn losses into profits next year, and other stores in various places will be around one to three years depending on the opening date."

"Just turn losses into profits, it may not necessarily guarantee how much profit is." Tang Jialin said like the most cautious and demanding investor.

"…yes.” Yu Lang had to admit it.

"If I were you, I would take this opportunity to throw this hot potato out." Tang Jialin said while observing his change in expression, "I know Jixiansheng means differently to you, just like your own child, you can't hear others say it's bad."

"but?"

Tang Jialin: "But you have to face up to its problem. From the beginning of your project, you expected that you would not be able to make profits in the past few years, right?"

Yu Lang nodded.

"The profit points you expect, let alone the profit points you can see in your first store now? Where did you lose before?"

"The main thing is to invest a lot in expanding the scale of users." Tang Jialin used to do market work, but Yu Lang didn't explain much. "As for profitability, the customer scale of the first store is now at a relatively ideal and stable level. You only need to do promotional activities normally and maintain user stickiness."

"But it will still take next year to turn losses into profits."

"Yes, the profit margin left now is still too small. In order to ensure freshness, the proportion of discarded goods is also relatively high..."

Tang Jialin directly exposed: "Your problems will still exist next year. If you want to increase your profit margin, you will definitely increase your price. After the price increases, the customer scale will definitely be reduced - I will say that I, as well as the two aunts and bakers in my store, are now your very fresh customers."

The beef soup was still a little salty. She felt thirsty and stood up to pour water for herself. At the same time, she said: "But we are all sensitive to prices and like to buy discounted products. If the vegetables or fruits in your store are obviously more expensive than other supermarkets, we will naturally buy them at other places."

"For example? Which platforms would you choose? If you are so busy, buying vegetables and fruits must be ordering online, right?" Yu Lang used to do a user survey.

"That's too many, there are many food delivery platforms, and now traditional supermarkets also cooperate with online platforms, and they can place orders online. If you want to compete for the price, it's hard to compete for them."

Tang Jialin looked at the sky completely dark outside and spoke more directly: "As for the quality, I am frank, in general vegetables, fruits and meat products, I don't feel how superior your extremely fresh products are to your peers."

Yu Lang couldn't help but defend: "We focus on high-quality seafood, especially imported ones..."

"But how large can that customer be? Or I ask this, take you as an example, will you consider purchasing from such a store when you want to eat imported seafood?" Tang Jialin didn't need Yu Lang to answer this question, "Of course you won't."

Because Yu's family's income and living standards are simply not as good as the so-called "high-quality seafood" in Jixiansheng stores.

To put it bluntly, Jixiansheng's positioning is not as high as low as possible. Tang Jialin was not optimistic about this model from the beginning. After burning out the money, the store will close sooner or later.

Tang Jialin took a few sips of water and walked back to the dining table, "You have always felt that other departments of the group are tired, and there is still a board of directors on it, so you can't fully open your hands. Now you have the opportunity to start your own business, isn't that just right?"

Yu Lang frowned, and Tang Jialin saw that he seemed a little hesitant, so she said, "Of course this is just my opinion. Giving up Jixiansheng and leaving Mingjian Group means that everything has to start from scratch, and it is not that easy. Let's consider it carefully."

She picked up her phone, "It's getting late, I have to go back."

"I'll give you a look." Yu Lang didn't dare to keep him, so he could only follow her to the door. "I didn't ask you if I'm talking about me. How are you doing recently? Is the store busy?"

"It's pretty good, and the traffic in the store has also stabilized." Tang Jialin walked to the entrance and put on her shoes first.

Yu Lang tried hard to find the topic: "Have Cen Sheng gone to find Cao Xuan again?"

"No." Putting on the shoes, Tang Jialin stood up and put on a coat, "But Dong Kai said that Cen Sheng really asked someone to ask him, and I haven't had time to ask in detail."

"He is also quite strange. He cares so much, he must like it. He knows that Cao Xuan has always liked him, so how could he make things like this?"

Tang Jialin turned around and opened the door, "Maybe it was you who hurt him like that. He felt that Cao Xuan was not worthy of him. He left."

Yu Lang was reluctant to let go, so he followed her out of the door, watched the elevator come up from the first floor, so he waited with her, and asked the question that he had been holding up a whole meal in his heart: "Is Cao Xuan calling you just now?"

"No." Tang Jialin only replied to these two words and urged him, "You go back."

"Uh," Yu Lang finally saw her, so he went back when he was willing to do so, trying to find a reason, "I happened to go downstairs for a walk."

Tang Jialin glanced at the door of the house that was still open, Yu Lang took a few steps back and closed it with his backhand.

"..." Tang Jialin glanced at his slippers again, "Just go for a walk like this?"

The elevator arrived soon, and there was no time to go back to change shoes. Yu Lang nodded tensely: "Yes."

Tang Jialin turned on the weather forecast on her phone to show him: "The real-time temperature is 8 degrees."

"..." Yu Lang had to tell the truth, "I'll take you to the parking lot and come back."

The elevator jingled, and Tang Jialin was too lazy to care about him and took the lead in.

Yu Lang followed in, but couldn't find anything to say. He was almost at the basement floor and there was no time to say anything else, so he could only say: "Thank you for your suggestions, I will think about it carefully."

"You can ask a few more people and think about it comprehensively."

He was only wearing a home clothes, not a coat, and looked much thinner on his shoulders. Tang Jialin finally advised him: "If you have something to figure out, just talk to your friends more. Always be bored by yourself, you may get stubborn."

"Okay." Yu Lang felt the care and smiled, "Thank you for coming to see me."

"You don't need to thank me for this, just thank Dong Kai."

The elevator door opened, Tang Jialin walked out, the cold wind blew in, Yu Lang shook for a moment, followed and said, "I still have to thank you for being willing to come."

Tang Jialin walked to the car door, paused, and decided to make the words clear: "I have been a little open recently. If you can follow the boundaries between friends, I am willing to support you as a friend. Goodbye."

Not ten minutes after the update, the power suddenly broke down at home. After 11 o'clock, the power went off and the computer broke down again... So this is only this chapter...
Chapter completed!
