Chapter 901 Bet on the Cowboy, I was frightened when I had my prenatal check-up at the end of the month
While having lunch in Huaqiangbei at noon, Yu Jinli got a news that at the foreign trade market near the gate, a shop selling handicrafts was about to be refunded. The size of the shop is about 20 square meters.
When I heard that, it was so good, I decided to rent it immediately on the spot. In fact, Zitong and I had already discussed it and planned to open a boutique store that specializes in jeans. I have often gone to Dongguan and Guangzhou to purchase goods in the past two years, but I found that with the rapid development of society, these jeans are also a big market. I saw from the records of shipping from those jeans manufacturers that these jeans are really national clothing abroad. They were just casual clothing before, but since a few years ago, US President Clinton made his upper suit and jeans look brighter in a public outfit, it quickly became popular all over the world and became an enduring trend. Now, even many white-collar workers in offices in Silicon Valley, Southern California have put on jeans during work hours.
Judging from the situation in the United States alone, this trend will inevitably rise in China in the near future. As far as I know, taking Shenzhen as an example, who doesn’t have a pair of jeans in his wardrobe, two or more pairs of jeans? This kind of clothes are dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, and it’s okay to wear them for a week. Although generally cheaper styles have no style, they are expensive because of freedom and comfort. This is not exactly in line with the ideal people pursue.
In addition, with the rapid development of material technology, many new fabrics have been invented. These jeans are no longer the kind of labor cloth we thought before. Although they are not considered high-end products, it is because of this that they have become popular among the general public. Moreover, I have also seen them in many foreign pictorials that some fine jeans should also be stylish and stylish.
Therefore, I firmly believe that this industry has absolutely no potential. Of course, you can't start with a boutique series. Meeting the needs of the public is the basis for success. After entering, you will slowly accumulate experience and then open a boutique store. In fact, I have already started to pay attention to this a long time ago. When purchasing other products, I have selected three high-quality jeans suppliers, especially I went to the two factories in Zengcheng and Conghua to inspect. They are both exported, so the price is naturally very good. The key is that the quality is not to be said. The general details have been discussed very well. Now, the opportunity has come, of course, we have to go on the horse immediately.
Now, with the continuous increase in business volume of these stores, more staff are equipped, and more purchases are available each time, and more varieties and styles of goods are also increasing. These specific management work have always been managed by Zitong and I personally. Of course, the main work is done by Zitong. This management seems very simple, but in fact it is never simple. Whether it is inventory, sales, publicity, procurement, finance, etc., as long as it must be connected just right, otherwise there will be problems, resulting in backlog of goods, or missed opportunities, etc., the market will naturally lose money.
If you want to make money, the above detailed management is only one aspect, and another aspect is more important, that is, the accurate judgment of the market and trends. How to say it? If you do not have a deep understanding and investigation of the current changing market, then the decisions you make are likely to be inappropriate and consumers will not pay for it. Sometimes the market is so magical. For example, if you make a mistake in judgment and find that the sales of this batch of goods are not good, then your first idea must be to sell at a price quickly. But often this is the second mistake you follow. You will find that the more you lower the price, the less anyone cares about it. So, if you continue to reduce, then no one will buy it. The final result can be imagined.
On the contrary, if a certain product is sold well, it often has unknown troubles. In many cases, the popularity of certain things is unpredictable. It may be because of an advertising slogan, a movie, a TV series, or an unintentional behavior of a star or a celebrity. It will inexplicably become popular at a speed of lightning speed. You must know that as for how long it will be popular, one year, one month, or one week, no one can grasp it. The only thing you can do is to quickly buy a large amount of goods within this limited time and take the opportunity to make a profit. What is this relying on? Of course, it is the thickness and depth of the resources you have, and these cannot be handled and owned in a day or two. It requires time to slowly settle down.
Fortunately, the couple's vision has always been pretty good. In addition, they are quite good at management and have a certain forward-looking attitude. They have invested a lot of energy and time that others cannot see. Although Zitong is almost 9 months pregnant, she has not relaxed in management and still does it herself. Of course, as her body becomes more and more bulky in recent months, she has relaxed a little, but fortunately, her business has not been affected much. However, it won't take long to be born, and Zitong will immediately switch to another track. Her whole body and mind will definitely be poured into the children and family, and she will definitely not be distracted to deal with the business here. What is certain is that at least half a year or even a year will definitely be difficult for her to return.
As for me, the role I have always played is to control the general direction. I have not paid much attention to the specific things at all. At most, I will lean a little bit there when I encounter difficulties. In the past, it will be even more impossible. Now Intel has more and more new cases. The company has set a goal this year to achieve at least 5 million US dollars. The corresponding increase in workload is not a little bit, but exponential. Although there are more than 20 people in the office, I often feel that I am a little short of it. Many projects, and many times, I have to do it myself.
Intelligent's job must be done, so the business in this store cannot be lost. For this reason, Zitong and I discussed it for a long time. After careful consideration, we did the following two actions:
1. The main purpose of renting a house in Huafu New Village is to provide it to employees for living, and the secondary purpose is to serve as a temporary warehouse. In this way, at least some goods with faster sales and larger goods can be stored here first. In this way, at least many troubles caused by emergency can be solved. You must know that you have to supplement certain goods at any time before, and immediately, if you don’t arrange them immediately, the passengers and goods will leave.
In addition, I added a computer to the room. I designed a table based on the actual situation, which uses time as the horizontal axis and sales as the vertical axis. Every day, week and monthly inventory, sales, replenishment frequency, etc., and in addition, after I get the report, I will make a bar chart. In this way, I can understand the dynamics of several stores in real time and control them in real time.
Second, let Yu Jinli be completely freed and stop visiting the store every day and be eyeing people. I left a seat for her at Intelli, so that she could stay here for two or three hours every day. Anyway, I don’t have to pay Intelli’s salary, just take a seat. I discussed with Bill, and he agreed. Yu Jinli’s main task is to manage these stores, personnel, purchases, inventory, sales, replenishment, etc. In addition, Xiaokang Beef Sauce’s business development is not bad now. I thought I could focus more, but I was too busy and I didn’t have enough energy, so I could only take it slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it has been half a month since my mother came to Shenzhen. Zitong and I have always been worried about whether she can adapt to the life here. After all, she came with a task. If she can't adapt, then why are you talking about taking care of your daughter-in-law during confinement? Although I have asked her several times, my mother always said it's very good, very good. Actually, I don't believe what my mother is telling the truth, because I know that my mother is a strong person. Her sincerity towards her children is amazing. No matter how much hardship she suffers, how much fatigue she suffers, how much dissatisfaction or discomfort, she will not reveal a word. She must have endured it silently.
So, I specifically told Zitong that when I was at home, I should pay more attention to my mother and see if she was uncomfortable, uncomfortable, etc. Later, Zitong told me that my mother did not show any situation like this. I just heard her call her father and always say that Shenzhen is the biggest feeling she gave her is that it is hot, but she saves clothes all year round. I think it only takes short-sleeved clothes all year round. It’s not like our family, which has different clothes all year round. The second is expensive. I said that it costs money here like water. I roughly calculated that it cost several thousand yuan in the past half month. This is too much. If I were in our hometown, I wouldn’t have to spend so much in half a year. Third, I just couldn’t find anyone to talk and I was bored.
During the prenatal check-up at the end of April, a small problem occurred. After the doctor looked at the B-ultrasound report, he frowned and said that Zitong's amniotic fluid was a little low, because he was afraid that this period would have a little impact on the fetus. To be on the safe side, from now until May 12, the expected delivery date, it will take three days for the past three days. In case, if there is something wrong, you have to be ready for a caesarean section at any time.
Ah? Caesarean section? Why did this involve caesarean section? We were shocked and asked the doctor, why did the amniotic fluid suddenly become less? Why haven’t I heard of it before?
The doctor handed over a flyer and we took it to see:
If there is little amniotic fluid, fetal distress is prone to occur. If there is little amniotic fluid, the incidence of fetal distress will increase by more than 10 times. If there is too little amniotic fluid, the mortality rate of perinatal infants can increase by 47 times.
If too little amniotic fluid occurs in the early stage of pregnancy, and the membrane and the body are adhesions, it can cause abnormal fetal structure and even shortage of fetal limbs. If too little amniotic fluid occurs in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, external uterine pressure directly acts on the fetus. When there is uterine contraction, it is easy to cause fetal muscles and bones, which can cause fetal torticolliculosis, flexion, hand and foot deformity, etc.
Most of the reasons for low amniotic fluid are due to the fetus' urinary malformations, which often die immediately after birth. If there is too little amniotic fluid, a fetal heart rate monitoring examination should be performed to see if the fetus has hypoxia. If necessary, cesarean section should be performed in time to terminate the pregnancy. The low amniotic fluid will significantly increase the surgical delivery rate.
