Chapter 55 Investigating the Market

Topics that interest Katie.

She asked, "What business do you want to do?"

"I have two ideas for the time being. One is to open a cafe, on the banks of the Thames or somewhere. I used to work in a cafe, and that feeling made me feel very comfortable.

Another is even more difficult. I think there will be a market for opening a chain fruit store. Tourists from China told me that they have opened many chain fruit stores there, selling some boutique fruits. If you go to the supermarket to buy less, you can decorate the fruit store very beautifully, just like a flower shop on the street."

Puding told Katie calmly that it was not a big business that was shocking, and there was no need to hide it.

"If you think it's necessary, I promise to help you, but what method should I use to get the trust to agree to the investment?"

"Katie, I don't want them to invest, so that it will become the foundation's business again. Now what I want to do is to help me make money, Du Yu, do you understand?"

“…is there a difference?”

"Of course there is, if nothing unexpected happens, I should become a human, permanent one."

After saying that, I ate another piece of beef. I don’t know the specific ingredients of the seasoning, but it tastes pretty good. The steak for breakfast is a bit greasy and the taste is not as good as barbecue and fried. It is still better than cat food and is more psychologically acceptable.

Katie is a smart girl. After Pudding said that, she understood and guessed in her heart that this fat cat was hiding something from her, otherwise she would not have the confidence to become a human.

The money for pudding only belongs to pudding. The Pudding Trust Foundation will not give a Chinese money, so it is correct to consider myself in the future.

She told: "No matter what kind of business it is, you definitely don't have enough money now. You can go to a small city. The rent for London shops is too expensive."

"I'm also having a headache about this problem. I have thought about it recently. I don't need to open a store directly in the early stage. I just rent a small place outside other shops and put a fruit stand. More than 10,000 pounds is enough.

If the business is good, I will try it. If it doesn’t work, it will be fine. Let’s think of other solutions. Is this OK?"

"Well, it's not bad. I'll start school on September 25th. I have time to help you before that. Who made you my boss?" Katie said.

Pudding joked: "It's good to have such an idea. It's best to choose a lively place and send a message to people that it can attract some fans. It would be a pity not to use such a good resource."

"Yes, very business-minded..."

Each person and a cat are still exploring new ways to get along, and it is also good to chat like this occasionally.

Do it as soon as you say it.

After breakfast, Katie, who had already written the paper, drove out with her pudding. The goal was to be the largest fruit wholesale market in London. They had to understand the market first.

Unconsciously, China suddenly became the world's second largest economy, and many people in European and American countries are looking for business opportunities in China's business model.

For example, shared bicycles, some companies in the UK also have entered this field. Shared bicycles, known as the "national quality mirror", have also encountered stolen, private locks, malicious destruction and other behaviors in the UK, which have caused them a headache.

I heard Pudding say that there is a market in China, Katie thinks it’s good to try it. Chain means lowering the wholesale price of fruits. If you manage it well, you may not be able to make money.

Now she is still receiving the salary given by the Pudding Trust, so it is necessary to help with some problems. Isn’t this the job? It’s just that she is more free before, but recently there are more "cat bosses".

The driving speed was not fast, the pudding pressed a button with its flesh claws, and the soft top was automatically closed. It was tied by the seat belt, which felt a sense of restraint. There were passengers next to him whistling at Katie.

Find the sunglasses and put them on. The windshield is well designed. People think that the wind will be very strong after opening the convertible. In fact, you can't feel too much when you sit in the front row. This white Porsche drove into the fast lane with a pleasant roar.

Since it is named "GTS", of course it must be armed to the teeth. As one of the most cost-effective convertible sports cars priced within 100,000 pounds, this car uses a four-cylinder engine to accelerate for four seconds per 100 kilometers. Every time Katie stepped on the accelerator, Pudding clearly noticed the feeling of pushing the back. It can only be said that the money was not spent in vain. What’s important is that this car is quite beautiful and suitable for girls to drive.

Although Katie is so clean and clean, she is much wilder than Miss Winona when driving. Her two cars have a better performance, but she feels like a karting ride, which is a waste of resources.

Following the phone navigation, Pudding didn't know where the destination was. Soon after, he arrived at a place called Boluo Market, which was located next to London Bridge Railway Station. When parking, it asked: "I remember that there are many fruit stalls in the Boluo Market, but there is no place to buy fruit in batches at low prices, right?"

"Well, let's see how their business is. I found that the largest wholesale market nearby is New Spitafield. We will go there later. The Internet said that the fruit worth 600 million pounds was sold there last year, which should be much larger than here."

Katie specializes in corporate management at University College London. Although she has not practiced it personally, her business theory level is much higher than Du Yu and is more organized. She wants to see how these fruit merchants are doing business and also learn how they do business.

When she got off the car, she saw the lively crowd and asked Pudding: "I'm holding you?"

"Yes, you should buy a backpack that specializes in carrying a cat."

"You lose weight first and then buy it. Unfortunately, I can't bring the stroller here." When she said this, she had a smile in her eyes, obviously teasing her.

Suddenly I wondered how he was feeling when he used a stroller to take a pudding shopping.

Seeing the fat cat lifting its front paws, Katie thought it was holding it, but when she squatted down, she found that there was a sharp little claw standing on her flesh palm, and she was gesturing her middle finger...

"Boss, I am a student at University College London and am doing a survey. Can I answer a few questions?"

Katie asked a middle-aged fruit stall owner with a look of embarrassment.

Her harmless appearance is very lethal to middle-aged uncles. In addition, she is a student from a top London school. The other party smiled and said, "Ask casually, I'm free now."

"Thank you, my name is Katie." She put down the pudding, held the notebook and pen and said: "How much fruit can you sell in a fruit stand of your size in a day, and what is the profit margin?"

"this……"

When talking about money, the fruit stall owner hesitated for a while and told her: "I work five days a week and I will give myself a holiday from Monday to Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I can sell 800 to 1,000 pounds of fruit every day, and on Saturday and Sunday, about three times more.

The main reason is that there are too many fruits here, and the salary is similar to that of ordinary working workers, but it is easier and can earn 6,000 or 7,000 pounds, sometimes high and sometimes low and unstable. Whenever people go on vacation, my business is the best."

"Oh~ So which fruit sells the best?"

"It depends on the season, mango, cucumber, durian, pineapple, strawberries and other products. They are popular all year round. I like to eat strawberries myself, and the bad things are eaten by me and my family..."
