Chapter 211 Hardware Stores and Supermarkets(2/2)
“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.
