Chapter 47 Supermarket Chain
In the 1980s, Jiangcheng had several pillar industries. In the 1980s, it was the largest paper mill in Asia, the largest sugar mill in the country, a large textile factory, a coal machinery factory, an electrical machine factory, a lumber factory, and a home.
factory……
These large enterprises in Jiangcheng made Jiangcheng extraordinary in the early 1980s. Workers' wages could hardly be spent. At this time, Li Zhongxin directly set his eyes on the workers in these factories.
What is the most profitable thing to do at this time? That is to run a grocery supermarket chain.
Li Zhongxin's idea of building a grocery chain supermarket had already come up with the idea when he asked Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu to build a food store. However, Li Zhongxin felt that the time was not mature enough, so he did not implement it immediately.
After Wang Bo came back from the provincial capital Harbin and told him about the prosperity of the provincial capital Harbin and the booming shops, Li Zhongxin felt that the time was ripe to start this matter.
In 1982, the spring breeze of reform had spread across China for four years, but there was still only one grocery store on Fufeng Street where Li Zhongxin lived.
Li Zhongxin remembered very clearly in later generations that the first grocery store on Fu Feng Street was Hong Kee Grocery Store. According to Li Zhongxin’s childhood thoughts, the old Hongtou who opened Hong Kee Grocery Store could be said to be the whole
The richest man on the street.
Indeed, after taking the first step of epoch-making significance, the Hong family relied on their accumulation of funds to start a shopping mall in the 1990s and became a famous big businessman in Jiangcheng.
Those who dared to try to run a grocery store in the 1980s must not only have the courage to do big things and a tenacious will, but also be a person with long sleeves, good at dancing, and a graceful figure.
It was definitely not an easy time to run a grocery store under the circumstances at that time, but to be able to run a grocery store for two years with good business definitely has a special personality charm and unknown energy.
Li Shangyong made several shelves for Hong Ji Grocery Store and was very familiar with Hong Bin, the eldest son of the Hong family. From Li Shangyong’s previous descriptions, the old man of the Hong family had handed over the entire Hong Ji Grocery Store to Hong Bin.
Bin, and the grocery store run by Hong Bin has exceeded the scale when the old man opened the grocery store.
The eldest son of the Hong family, Hong Bin, had been to Wuhan sh and other places in the 1980s, and had certain purchase channels. However, it was very difficult to do business as an individual in the 1980s, and large manufacturers did not like to deal with individuals.
After Li Zhongxin came up with the idea of building a grocery supermarket chain, he became very interested in Hong Bin.
In this era, people who can see so far are very human, and cooperation with such people should be beneficial and harmless.
The most important thing is that Hong Bin cannot compete with the wealth and energy that Li Zhongxin currently possesses. As long as they cooperate, they will still follow Li Zhongxin's ideas and practices in the future.
At this time, Zhongxin Company only has two middle-level managers, Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo, who can manage fishing matters. But if they want to manage this kind of supermarket chain, they really need people with good vision and ability like Hong Bin.
After some careful consideration by Li Zhongxin, he led Dong Guozhong and Wang Bo to visit Hong Bin directly.
Zhongxin Company has a great reputation in Jiangcheng. Although it cannot compare with those old department stores and large enterprises, it is still a well-known brand.
When he heard that Li Zhongxin and the others were here to discuss important matters, and that their ideas were almost the same, Hong Bin became excited.
Through a series of discussions, Zhongxin Company and Hong Bin reached a preliminary agreement.
Dividing line
Like a swordfish, Hong Bin squeezed out of the narrow passage between the counter and the living room. He slowly walked to the door. The strong afternoon sunlight shone on his face, and Hong Bin couldn't help but squint his eyes.
When he thought of Li Zhongxin who came in the morning, Hong Bin could no longer contain the joy in his heart.
Hong Bin inherited his father's business and had not read many books. However, he remembered the words his father left when he handed him the grocery store.
No matter when it comes, opening a grocery store is a springboard. Now it is the general trend. In the future, terms such as capitalist roaders will become less and less common, and there will be no danger due to repeated policies. If the Hong family can
Expand the scale, even if it means paying more.
Hong Bin heard what Li Zhongxin said very clearly. Zhongxin Company is a collective enterprise run by the village and has unique advantages. Moreover, Li Zhongxin now has tens of thousands of yuan of idle funds in his hands. In terms of purchasing goods, he can get more favorable ex-factory prices.
.
The Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket chain that Zhongxin Company is planning to open will not change the grocery store that originally belonged to the Hong family. It will just change the name. Except for the name being Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain, everything else will belong to the Hong family.
To put it bluntly, Hung Kee Grocery Store is still Hung Kee Grocery Store, but what the heck! The products are much more than when the Hong family stocked them. In other words, Hung Kee Grocery Store will make more money than before.
As the general manager of Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain, Hong Bin is responsible for purchasing, distributing goods, and recruiting employees, which is equivalent to the current general manager.
Li Zhongxin had already made it very clear to Hong Bin when they were talking about it. Hong Bin was responsible for some business management matters and only received a symbolic salary of 40 yuan per month. He held 5% of the shares of the Zhongxin Supermarket chain.
, give Hong Bin dividends according to this standard at the end of each year, until Hong Bin no longer wants to do this and wants to go out and work alone.
Hong Bin knew very well that Hong Ji Grocery Store was not simply the type where individuals could apply for a business license, but that Mr. Hong Ji was affiliated with a food processing factory under the Bureau of Commerce.
A department of the Hongji Grocery Store has to pay a management fee of five yuan to the processing factory every month.
After Li Zhongxin proposed such a cooperation method, not only will all the expenses of Hongji Grocery Store be eliminated in the future, but the income will also increase significantly.
As for the symbolic management fee of forty yuan a month that Li Zhongxin said, Hong Bin didn't take it to heart. Whether he was given this management fee or not really didn't matter. What he valued was the hundred yuan promised by Li Zhongxin.
Five-fifths of the dividend.
In addition, Hong Bin has been considering another proposal from Li Zhongxin, which is that Hongji Grocery Store will be completely merged into Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain. Li Zhongxin will give Hong Bin 10% of the shares of Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain, and in addition
There are plenty of cash dividends.
Hong Bin has been considering this proposal. After all, the Hongji Grocery Store in his hands is very profitable, but whether the Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain can succeed is another matter.
Hong Bin thought about it for an entire afternoon, but couldn't figure out which method of cooperation he wanted to choose. So, he found his father, who played with cats and dogs every day, and asked his father to help him analyze the pros and cons.
There are a lot of profits, and the conditions are very attractive. Zhongxin Company invests at least 30,000 yuan in one time for 10% of the shares, which means at least 3,000 yuan of shares. Although the grocery store they are running now is their own
, however, the total value will never exceed two thousand yuan. Comparing the two, the 10% shares of Zhongxin Company are directly worth more than their grocery store.
Li Zhongxin said frankly that if the grocery chain supermarket does well, he will increase investment and strive to build a large supermarket chain integrating wholesale and retail.
The only thing I'm worried about now is whether Zhongxin Company can open such a large stall at once, even if the purchase and management are left to Hong Bin, whether Hong Bin can set up the stall.
After some analysis and comparison between Mr. Hong and Hong Bin, they finally made up their minds to merge into one share with Zhongxin Company and choose 10% of the shares.
