I really don’t know if I don’t buy a dish, I will be shocked when I buy a dish. Several old shopkeepers are doing business with their heads down. In the past ten years, Su Ji’s shops and real estate have been decreasing year by year. The subtle decline is difficult to detect, but in ten years, the whole business has
After taking an inventory, I discovered that Su Ji's decline had inadvertently reached a shocking level.
Su Jin didn't wait for the old shopkeepers to wake up from their surprise before asking his next question.
"I'm afraid you don't know the annual income of Su Ji's entire industry. I just want to ask you about the shops you have on hand. When my father was alive ten years ago, what was the annual profit of a grain shop? What is your annual income now?"
Several shopkeepers tried their best to recall, and Hou Shanrong replied: "Ten years ago, the annual income of a grain store was about 5,000 to 8,000 guan. Now... it's about 2,000 guan."
The other three also agreed with his data. The income of the four companies was almost the same and the data were almost the same. As soon as this data was exported, several old shopkeepers took another breath and their faces became extremely ugly.
Su Jin sighed and said: "Several big shopkeepers have noticed a problem. Not only is my Su Ji's shop estate decreasing, but also the profits of each shop are decreasing. The annual profit is based on two thousand guan. After deducting money taxes, wages, and wear and tear, the actual profit will be reduced."
The profit was less than 500 guan, not counting the cost of the facade. Although the facade belongs to the family, it must be included in the cost; various signs remind us that Su Ji is on the verge of bankruptcy if he does not work hard to manage.
"
Hou Shanrong pondered for a long time and then said dullly: "Young master, after taking such an inventory, it is indeed as you said. Su Ji will be unable to continue like this."
Su Jindao: "As long as you know, the grain, oil, cloth and ready-made clothing business that the Su family relies on for survival has reached an extremely dangerous point. I, Su Ji, account for less than 10% of the share in Luzhou City. This is the result of your good management.
One percent of them are regular customers, the rest have been snatched away by the Chamber of Commerce, and Buzhuang has directly fallen into losses, with a loss of 1,400 yuan as of last month, do you think I can wait any longer?"
Cloth store and grain store are shops run by Du Li. On weekdays, each family does not care about their own accounts. Only the owner knows this account. When Su Jin broke the news, the four of them couldn't sit still; ordinary owners,
Stores that have been losing money continuously will not be maintained at all. If it is more complicated, they will find ways to save it. If it is simple, they will just fire the employees and close the business.
The Shaodong family put so much thought into the business in such a vigorous and resolute manner. On the one hand, they naturally considered the rise and fall of Su Ji, and on the other hand, they were kind-hearted and could not bear the disbandment of the clerks and shopkeepers. There are very few such owners now.
The four of them were silent to each other. Everything Su Jin said was like placing a big stone in their hearts. It was heavy and could not be removed. Their feelings for Su Ji were difficult for ordinary people to understand. Su Ji had served Su Ji for more than ten years.
In their minds, it is a home-like existence. Now this home is crumbling, and the roof that protects it from wind and rain is full of holes, which they cannot accept.
What the young master wants to do now is to repair the leaky roof, but a few of them come to criticize it, which is really outrageous.
"Young master, I'm so ashamed!" Hou Shanrong looked gloomy and carefully composed this reasonable wording: "Young master, we can all understand your eagerness to revitalize Su Ji, but if you use it in a serious way, it may be counterproductive, so why not take some gentle measures?
As for the methods, there is still room for maneuver."
"Su Ji has no way out, can't you see it? The Chamber of Commerce is eating away at our remaining pitiful share, and the suppression has gradually become stronger. Last time, more than 40 shopkeepers jointly came to my Buzhuang Cai Tai to cause trouble. Of course, they did not do this spontaneously.
, but the instructions from the owners of the Chamber of Commerce behind it; of course there are also small businesses who want to survive and are coerced, but in general, Su Ji is already the enemy of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will definitely try their best to suppress us.
A straw."
Su Jin took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and ruminated in his mouth, moistening his dry mouth and continued: "Su Ji's matter can no longer be solved by gentle means, so this time I will use strong medicine to destroy the family.
All my savings have been put together. I invite you here today to ask if you are willing to help me and Su Jin. I have prepared a thousand gu pension money for each of you. Even if Su Ji is destroyed, you can still enjoy it in peace.
In your old age, you don’t have to worry about your livelihood.”
"Young Master..." The four old shopkeepers were trembling all over and crying. They could tell that Su Jin was arranging the last things. The Young Master was determined to give it a try. This time he might win more than just
Su Ji, maybe it’s better to fight for your life again.
They actually don't know that Su Jin and his father Su Moran are two different people. Su Moran can end up depressed because of a betrayal and failure, but Su Jin will never do it; Su Jin has an almost scoundrel attitude.
Personality, once it’s stuck, it won’t loosen up. This was the most influential person in later generations who smashed Su Jin’s predecessor, Wang Feng, to death. He just spent four years of college and spent all his hard work to get her and became her.
A good story in the school, and has become the spiritual idol of countless sexy boys. The success rate of sexy boys chasing goddesses is not without success.
Su Jin was definitely not the novice they thought he was, and Su Jin was not a fool. He could obviously afford to have a hundred thousand coins in his family for a lifetime, so why would he use it to fight to the death? Of course he saw the chance of winning.
"I know you are still worried about the feasibility of this move. When it comes to things like preventing chao, mold, moths, and mice, I believe you are better than me. If you feel the need to ask me, I can also tell you,
I have many methods; if you suspect that there is a severe drought in the south, I think you will know soon, because I will send one or two of you to Jiangnan to purchase grain, including Wudi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the two lakes.
In order to receive the best old grain, you should also confirm whether there is a severe drought and the crops are almost dead. If this is not the case, you can return to the same place with the money. Just pretend that I did not say this.
how about?"
The four people nodded repeatedly, seeing is believing. What they were worried about was just taking action rashly due to inaccurate information. If it was as Su Jin said, this would be a huge business opportunity.
"This matter is a top secret. Please don't disclose it to anyone when you go back. The business opportunities disclosed are no longer business opportunities. And the sooner this matter is done, the better. We can realize that others can also realize it. What I mean is that later
In the morning, select three of you to go south with Mr. Zhang, the shopkeeper, and leave one person to take care of the four grain stores. With me at home, you can rest assured."
"What the young master said is reasonable. No one can be fooled into talking about this matter. In this way, Lao Hu, Lao Ma and I will go, and shopkeeper Min will take care of us at home." Hou Shanrong is indeed not a mother-in-law. Once Su Jin talks it through,
, people who do things in a hurry and never procrastinate.
"Okay, I will follow your arrangements. I have found a courtyard in Luxi Manor with eighteen main rooms. With a little renovation, it will be very suitable for grain storage. After you come back from shopping, you can go directly to the manor without entering.
The city is ostentatious, and at the same time, the place where a large amount of grain is stored needs to be cautious. The less people know about it, the better." Su Jin raised the tea cup to salute the four people, and at the same time served tea as a farewell to the guests.
The four of them stood up and said goodbye. They had completely changed their minds about the young master. They had even thought about how to transport the food back and where to store it. Such a person was unreliable. He had no confidence in his heart and would not consider it at all.
Such details.
…
"The Young Master will never lose to the Old Master and the Master. Perhaps the young master is better than the old master." Shopkeeper Hu said.
"Sure enough, as Shopkeeper Hu said, he is just doing things. I seem to have found the energy again that I had when working with this boss to revitalize Su Ji. I haven't felt this way for ten years," Shopkeeper Ma said.
"Old brothers, please don't take it lightly. The young master has entrusted us with his family and life. We have a heavy responsibility and the best policy is to be careful and considerate."
"That's right, shopkeeper Hou is right, keep quiet and don't reveal any information."
The four of them immediately and quietly left Su's house and boarded their cars.
Su Jin let out a long breath and was covered with sweat. In fact, there was one more favorable news that Su Jin did not reveal to them today. Today, he and Mr. Zhang, the shopkeeper, talked about the war in the northwest. The war between the northwest and Xixia has continued.
After several years, Su Jin quickly came to the conclusion that the amount of grain stored in the official warehouse was limited.
The lack of grain in the official warehouses can lead to another result, that is, when the harvest is lean next year, the court will not have enough grain to stabilize the soaring grain prices, and its own good days are coming.
Su Jin knew that this matter must not be made public. Losing business opportunities would be a trivial matter. 'Hoarding and driving up prices' was a serious crime. If someone reported it, it would be a big deal if it was found out. It seems that you need to think a lot more when selling food.
Okay, it’s inappropriate to sell grain solely under Su Ji’s name.dd
