Tomorrow is Sunday. In the evening, Li Jianren came to Jianhui Supermarket and found Wu Chengcai.
"Store manager Wu, is the overall sales summary for this month still available?" Ah Ren called Wu Chengcai over.
"The statistics have been calculated. Please wait a moment. I will bring them over for you to take a look at." Wu Chengcai went to the counter storage cabinet and took out an account book. "Excluding the first three days since we opened, our total turnover is 325,450 yuan. On average,
The daily turnover is about RMB 12,000.”
"Well, this is a normal phenomenon. If it were like the three-day opening promotion, it would be abnormal."
Li Jianren roughly calculated the profit, and it was probably more than 100,000 yuan. Including the three-day promotion, he got a net profit of nearly 200,000 yuan. He needs to pay back the payment at the end of next month, excluding other expenses, etc., it can
I still have 200,000 at my disposal, so it’s time to consider opening another store.
"Manager Wu, you may have to work harder later. I plan to open another store. As for the location of the store, you can consider the central area of the city or the surrounding areas. If it is the central area, it needs a larger area, at least 500 square meters.
Square meters, if it is the surrounding area, then 200 to 300 square meters will be enough." Li Jianren told Wu Chengcai his plan.
"During this period of time, you can go around and have a look when you have nothing to do. You can get a feel for it first and give it to me in summary, and then we can make a detailed decision."
"There are two other things that need to be followed up. One is the issue of store clerks. If I open a new store, I will still need a lot of store clerks and need to be recruited. Regarding this, you can do a unified interview next month when I am on vacation. Two
It's a tax issue. You are a professional in accounting. You need to check this carefully and not make any mistakes. We will pay a lot for what should be paid. If you should reasonably avoid it, you can handle it and just tell me.
"
Wu Chengcai suddenly felt that a lot of things were pressing him down. It was not that he was tired, but he felt a little stressed. But he was also very excited, which showed that his boss trusted him quite a lot, but he was also worried that he could not do well. After hesitating for a moment, he still said
: "I'll do my best here, but it's up to you to have the final say. Everything else is fine."
"Okay, well, I have something else to pay attention to. I estimate that some manufacturers will take the initiative to contact us in the future. If they meet, you can talk about it first and try to keep the conditions as tight as possible. If you meet some well-known big brands, the conditions can be
Relax a little, bring them in first, and then negotiate terms with them after sales are made. But the premise is to maintain quality and quantity."
"No problem, a manufacturer selling toilet paper came over two days ago and had a chat, but we didn't talk in depth. I guess they will come again in a while." Wu Chengcai reported truthfully.
"Well, we will definitely gradually replace those middlemen in the future and cooperate directly with manufacturers. But for now, we only have one store. The sales volume may be a lot for you and me, but as an individual, it is still too small for manufacturers.
, only when we have more branches of Jianhui Supermarket and sales increase, then we will have the capital to bargain with others."
"Aren, I understand what you mean. I have started investigating the branch store recently. What I want to ask is, why don't we rent a store? This way we can save a lot of money and open other stores?"
Ah Ren looked at Wu Chengcai, thought for a while and answered him, "There are several reasons. One is the issue of assets. House prices are not expensive now. I still have money in hand, so I bought them. These properties will also be fixed assets in the future.
When we need funds, we can get a bank mortgage loan. Secondly, we can save a lot of rent by opening our own shop, and we don’t have to be controlled by others. If others are jealous, they can go directly to the landlord to break the contract with you and ask you to move out, or
What will you do if you don’t sign it after it expires?”
Wu Chengcai thought about it thoughtfully and felt that it made sense.
"Another point is that our current staff cannot keep up with the new development. There are only three of you. I want to open a new store and no one can do anything. This also limits our rapid development. Therefore, recruitment matters also need to be followed up.
That's it. Recruit them, work in this store first, and then assign them to others after you get the hang of it, so that we don't make any mistakes."
That night, Wu Chengcai thought about Li Jianren's speech and felt that it made sense. However, it would take a lot of effort to achieve it. In addition, the allocation of talents also needs to keep up with the company's development. It's easy to find store clerks.
It's long, but it can't be made up for you at once.
Wu Chengcai had a headache and couldn't sleep well all night. But after Li Jianren left the problem to Wu Chengcai, he had a good sleep.
The next morning, drizzle began to fall outside, falling silently, like the silver threads spit out by countless silkworm ladies, rippling in the air.
When it was almost nine o'clock, the siblings had finished packing, and then took the car home together.
Sitting in a minibus, driving on a relatively flat asphalt road, looking at the endless fields on both sides of the road, as well as low-rise houses and muddy paths crisscrossing each other, Li Jianren still felt a little emotional. The development of his hometown still takes time.
.
Before ten o'clock, the two of them had returned to the village and walked to the door of their house. Chen Guifang was sitting at the door and saw her children holding umbrellas and stepping on the mud with one foot high and one foot low. She quickly shouted happily: "Mom
, Aren and Yanping are back."
Following the shouting, the siblings saw their grandma running out in a hurry, "Giggle..., the grandchildren are back."
Li Jianren quickly went up to help his grandma Wang Axiang, "Grandma, please don't come out. It's raining. Be careful of the slippery road."
"It's okay, it's okay. Grandma hasn't seen you two for more than two months. You look thin. Guifang, hurry up and buy some meat. Let's make braised pork for the child at noon."
Li Jianren felt his grandma's concern and felt very warm in his heart.
When she returned home with her grandma in her arms, Chen Guifang had already handed over two dry towels to her children: "Hurry and wipe them, your hair is all wet."
The siblings took it and wiped it.
"Mom, where is grandpa and dad? Are you going to work in the supermarket?"
"Well, they usually go there at 7 o'clock and are used to opening the door early. Aren, how are you at school? Are you doing well in your studies?"
"Mom, I'm fine. My sister takes good care of me and I don't need to worry too much. In the school's monthly exam a few days ago, I was fourth in the class and 19th in the grade." Aren began to tell Chen Guifang the good news.
Li Yanping curled her lips and said, "Mom, you are just biased. I have to go to school and take care of Aren. Why don't you ask me how I am doing?"
"You are already in the second year of high school, so you are used to it. Your brother has just entered the first year of high school and has gone out for the first time. As a sister, of course you have to take care of him. In order to reward you, I will buy some ribs and come back later to make soup for you.
, okay?" Chen Guifang looked at the two of them happily.
"Let A-Ren drink the soup, and I'll eat the meat. Hehehe..." In this day and age, when there is meat to eat, who would drink the soup?
At noon, the four of them finished their meal. Li Jianren took his lunch box and rode his bicycle to the town to deliver lunch to his grandfather and father, while Li Yanping stayed at home and chatted.
When we arrived at the store, it wasn't very busy. Maybe it was raining or maybe it was meal time. There was only one person who had just bought a bottle of vinegar, walked out of the supermarket, picked up an umbrella and left.
"Grandpa, Dad, it's time to eat." Aren walked into the store and shouted to the two people in the store.
"Aren is back. Haha, when did you come back? Have you eaten?" Grandpa smiled happily when he saw his grandson coming to deliver food.
Li Aiguo also came over, looked at Aren, and patted his shoulder, "You seem to have lost weight, Aren, I haven't seen you in more than two months."
Hey, whether the old people see you well or not depends on whether you have gained weight.
"Dad, I haven't lost weight, I've grown taller. I'm almost 175 centimeters now. You must be hungry too. Eat quickly. There are braised pork and pork ribs today. Mom went to buy them specially."
The two men started to eat, while Li Jianren looked around the store and put forward some opinions of his own. Finally, the two of them ate, and Li Aiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Ruiqin, and he also took out one and bit it on his mouth.
"Aren, how are the shops in your city?"
"Very good. It's been almost a month since we opened on the 1st, and our sales have reached nearly RMB 600,000."
"So many." Both father and son were a little surprised.
"We held activities for three days after opening, and the discounts were great, so the sales volume was naturally good. After that, the sales volume was almost more than 10,000 yuan per day. I am preparing to recruit people to open another store." Li Jianren reported truthfully to his grandfather and father.
"Those people at home come to buy goods, and our store has a profit of more than 70,000 yuan in two months. The money for the purchase has been paid to them in the first two months. If you want to open a new store, it will probably cost a lot of money. I will tell you later
Go to the bank and withdraw a round sum of 80,000 for you. Anyway, you are better than us in terms of vision and means in doing business. When the time comes, you can make your own decision." Li Aiguo told his son about the situation of the past two months.
At this time, Grandpa Li Ruiqin ended the topic, "Ah Ren, it's good for your dad and I to just guard this supermarket in this town. As for the rest, you can take care of it yourself. You don't have to worry about us."
