Chapter 126 Preparing for a chain store
I didn't go home, so I went directly to the factory area.
It’s no problem to transport grain and green feed, fill the factory again. The factory really can’t hold so much grain, and there is still a surplus in the space warehouse. Fortunately, I had a plan, if I hadn’t built the warehouse in advance, I would have caught it blindly.
The new warehouse is being capped and can be opened in at most a week. I just took this time to implement an important plan.
The next day, after Rufeng delivered the eggs, I made a special trip to the provincial capital.
After driving around the provincial capital street, I found a commercial district in the southwest where wholesale foods are conducted. Many vendors gathered here and have formed a scale.
I decided to open a branch here.
Finally, I found a sublease storehouse that was used to wholesale seafood. It seemed that the business was pretty good, and people always came one after another. Why did the boss sublease?
It turned out that the boss was from another place. My old father was sick and needed to go home to take care of him. The transaction was not completed, so he had to do it by subleting it.
The store has a relatively complete equipment and facilities, with few shelves, and mostly plastic boxes. These can be used for me. Of course, I am not used to wholesale seafood. Plastic boxes can be used to hold fish, to the space, or to hold eggs and vegetables, anyway, it won’t be wasted.
The area of 200 square meters is not up to my ideal requirements, but it is OK. The boss told me that there is a small courtyard behind which can park trucks to unload goods. It is very convenient to have a back door. There is a carport, toilet, and kitchen. The only disadvantage is that there is no place to stay.
In addition to the owner, the seafood store hired two employees, so there was no need to arrange dormitories for them. The owner just made docks at the store at night.
I am basically satisfied with the current conditions. If you really need to arrange a dormitory, think of other ways.
I asked about the rent and thought it was not expensive. I intended to rent it here, so I wrote down the boss' phone number and told him that I would meet in two days.
The boss also told me that he would be sure to rent it and he had to give him three days to handle the funeral before he could hand over the house.
After leaving the non-staple food wholesale market, I found a store selling floor scales and ordered one, which arrived in a week.
After that, I returned to the county town.
Bai Luoxue heard that I had visited the provincial capital. In addition to being surprised, she showed admiration and praised me very much, and picked my thumbs up.
"Be decisive and decisive, do whatever you want, like a boss who does a big business."
When I received praise, I was naturally proud and asked her with a licking face.
"Do you think the place I chose is OK, right? Let's analyze it."
Bai Luoxue opened the mobile phone map, found the non-staple food wholesale market I mentioned, and looked at the specific location of the seafood wholesale store.
"The location is really good. We also need to investigate the market potential in detail. It is necessary to send a special person to the nearby site to check it out. The purpose of our store is to facilitate the surrounding vendors. It is too far away and it cannot be said that no one is going there. There will definitely be few people going there, which will affect business."
I asked her to be responsible for this matter. She will send her the specific arrangements to her. She will give me a conclusion before getting off work tomorrow afternoon at the latest, whether she can open a branch there.
Who is Bai Luoxue? We actually have similarities in work style, and she is decisive and decisive. Don’t look at her soft, gentle, and not slow in her actions. In the afternoon, she drew two people from the wholesale station to the provincial capital.
At 4:00 pm the next day, just after I had obtained a stock income of 11.2 million yuan, Bai Luoxue called. The field investigation resulted in a store where he could open a store.
So I called the seafood shop owner and agreed to rent the store.
At this time, the two employees who were in the province for investigation had not come back yet. I asked Bai Luoxue to tell them to go to the seafood store and sign a lease agreement in the name of Huangtu County Ecological Agriculture Company. Implement the lease and reassure the seafood store owner that he can arrange to teng the store.
I don’t care about the specific rental matters. The agreement will eventually be signed with the landlord, and the two clerks will do it. I just need to wait for their successful signing call and send the rent.
When preparing for opening a branch, I can only entrust Bai Luoxue to handle it with full authority. I cannot leave Huangtu County for a long time. I have to transport goods from the space to the evening and morning. If I am not in the county town, I will not be able to do this business.
Bai Luoxue asked the two clerks not to rush back first. They will stay in the hotel these days, post job advertisements, and send them emails for the advertisement content. The interview will be scheduled for three days, and the trial will be held in the store, and she will be hosted by herself.
She arranged this matter well, and I was not idle either. I went to the flour mill and signed a supply contract with Manager Li. The previous contract was still valid. This time I would like to make a supplementary explanation to increase the supply.
I have also gone to the self-employed person who runs a mill. I must tell them that I want to increase the processing volume of cornmeal, at least double it, and ask them if they can grind it out.
This old man wished me to process more and promised that if the processing failed, he would install another set of equipment to ensure that it would not delay my affairs. With him, I would be relieved.
At the canning factory, Bai Luoxue greeted Mu Zhiming, and I told him too. He was a little worried that the canned fish and vegetable markets are still strong now. If the branch is opened again, it will inevitably affect the supply of other customers. Will it expand production?
I can't stand the expansion of production again, and it's really not what I want. Tell him to reduce the supply of other customers and ensure the amount of home consumption first. Although Mu Zhiming didn't understand it very much, he still said that he would follow the implementation.
In fact, there is another important reason why I don’t want to increase the production of canned fish.
Rufeng and Ruxue reacted that fewer fish caught in the fish basket than before, at least one foot less, and the total amount of hundreds of fish baskets was quite considerable.
In order to make up for these quantities, I bought more than 100 fish baskets, and the entire west coast of the island was tied to the fish baskets.
Sometimes, like the wind and snow, they have to cast nets to catch fish. They don’t cast nets, and they will dry out like ice and frost. This will enable the morning supply quantity to be completed as soon as possible.
This situation is very important. If there are fewer and fewer fish in the space, my canned fish will have to consider reducing the yield, and I cannot fish in the pond.
The waters in the space are vast and boundless, and there is no way to see the edges. I believe the reserves of fish inside are unlimited. It is absolutely impossible that the amount of fish will be greatly reduced because I opened two canned fish production lines. The fish I caught are just a drop in the bull.
I have been struggling for many days because of this and believe that there are still many fish in the water, so the yield has not been reduced. Fortunately, they work hard and have a way to ensure supply.
It is still a concern for me to not completely solve this problem. In fact, the profit of the canned factory is not as good as that of the one I wholesale fresh fish in the morning, and that is the big head.
In order to ensure long-term production, I even planned to reduce the wholesale volume of fresh fish and tried to seek opinions from the vendors, but it was strongly opposed. I asked me not to cut off their way to make money. Now my fish is easy to sell, and the fish produced in other places on the market are getting harder and harder to sell. I have to wait until my fish is sold out before other fish will be placed.
