The dinner catching up with old times ended at mid-eight o'clock in the evening. After sending Chen Weimin away, Yang Dongxu shook his head and finally decided not to invest in the highway.
It’s not that the income from this area is not good. After all, even though there are not many cars on Yanjing Road now, bicycles still seem to be the main force of transportation.
But if you look at the growth rate of automobiles in the past two years, especially with the development of the domestic economy and the frequency of exchanges between various regions, you can conclude that building highways is really a good investment with huge profits, no higher than other Industry returns are poor.
But after careful consideration, Yang Dongxu decided not to lie in this muddy water, not to mention the large initial investment and possible quality problems. Just because the contract stipulates that you can set up a toll plaza after the repairs are completed, is your toll plaza the only one left on the road?
Do you believe that in the areas that the road passes through, any person with some influence in the local area can block the road and collect tolls without having to go through the approval procedures for setting up a toll station?
So since this project can be started even without its own investment, the most it can do is delay it for a while to let others see clearly the benefits of road construction.
When he got home, Yang Dongxu first called Father Yang. Although Chen Weimin greeted him, he had to have the attitude of asking for help. Father Yang couldn't just sit at home and wait, he still had to have the proper etiquette.
After the incident at the breeding farm came to light, Yang Dongxu began to focus on the supermarket at Guomao. There used to be too many merchants on the first floor of Guomao. Although the relocation went smoothly, the redecoration cannot be completed in a day or two. Therefore, the supermarket that was originally scheduled to open at the end of the year could only be pushed back more than half a month and placed on the 15th day of the year. Opening for Lantern Festival.
"How are the preparations going?" Yang Dongxu asked heartily, looking at Linliang's rows of merchandise.
Except for the poor monitoring facilities, the supermarket in front of us is no different from some large supermarkets in later generations. So Yang Dongxu felt like he was in a trance while walking among them.
"It's almost there. There will be no problem at all when it opens at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. But is there really no problem with the vegetable market over there?" Although it will open tomorrow, Dongzi is still worried about the vegetable area, which takes up almost half of the entire supermarket. Somewhat bottomless.
After all, now that we can open such a large supermarket, no matter when you say it, or when others walk in, you will feel a sense of superiority. But he always felt a little awkward selling vegetables in such a high-end place, and it was the main source of revenue. Shouldn't shopping for food involve going to a dirty vegetable market and bargaining with the uncles and aunties? He really couldn't understand why half of such a high-end decoration place was used for selling vegetables.
"It will open tomorrow. Let's see if we can find out the results. How did the lottery we arranged earlier go?" Yang Dongxu was a little speechless about Dongzi's worries. The business will open tomorrow. What's the point of worrying about it now?
"We discussed with the property management company and let us borrow the venue in front of us for a day. The stage will be set up in a while. The prizes are all in the warehouse behind. We can just take them out after the opening tomorrow. But is a mobile phone the final prize? A little too high."
The two of them decided that any customer who purchases more than 20 yuan on anything on the opening day will get a chance to draw a lottery. Supermarkets are originally places where profits are small but quick turnover. If someone buys something for 20 yuan, it is good for the supermarket to make 5 yuan. If someone buys rice, noodles or something for 20 yuan, the profit will be pitifully small.
Although a current mobile phone is not as exaggerated as tens of thousands in the beginning, it is still a few thousand yuan worth of gadgets. If a customer buys something worth 20 yuan, even if the supermarket earns 5 yuan, let alone the price of the mobile phone, the extra 2,000 yuan is considered. It would take 400 people to buy it to earn back the money for the phone.
This is only the profit calculated from the purchase price and selling price of the goods. If you add labor costs, property fees, electricity fees... and so on, it will take 500 customers who spend 20 yuan to earn a mobile phone. money.
Although the mobile phone is the ultimate prize, it cannot be taken away as soon as it comes up. But other prizes are also good. Electric kettles, induction cookers, four-piece bed sets, etc. There are really many prizes according to Yang Dongxu's words.
"It's hard not to let the child catch the wolf, and besides, we won't lose money."
"You really won't lose money? Why don't you spend 100 yuan and draw a lottery once?" Dongzi frowned and thought about it in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't see where he could make money on the first day of business, unless he could suddenly fill the supermarket. Even the goods in the warehouse are sold, which may make a lot of money.
Excluding the valuable items such as electrical appliances, how could the nearly 70,000 yuan worth of other goods be sold out in one day? He also went to the supermarket and spent dozens of yuan at a time. An extra hundred yuan is already a lot.
For more than 70,000 yuan of goods, even if each customer buys something worth 100 yuan, 700 customers are needed. On the first day of opening, the customer flow reached 700, and all of them were customers with a high spending of 100 yuan. Even in daydreams, Dongzi had never thought of such a good thing.
"It opens tomorrow, won't you know if you take a look?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes and didn't know how to explain it to Dongzi for a while.
Because the reason for setting up such a valuable prize is to seduce customers' desire to buy and form impulsive consumption. But Dongzi is obviously not enthusiastic about a mobile phone, so he doesn't understand that some customers will buy a lot of things in order to win the grand prize, regardless of whether they are useful or not.
Even though wages in Yanjing are generally not high now, for ordinary people, if they finally encounter a discount promotion opportunity, they are like squirrels spending the winter and move everything they see home.
The lottery will add a basin of hot oil to the fire later, so Yang Dongxu will really put the lottery ticket for the mobile phone prize in the lottery box.
I even prepared not just one mobile phone, but several. If the customer is lucky enough to take away the phone, he will take out another phone without hesitation.
The only thing he is worried about now is whether the goods in reserve are enough. As long as the Chinese people are interested in buying goods, they can make the world dumbfounded.
After inspecting the entire supermarket, they found that there were no problems. Yang Dongxu warned the security forces that the small advertisements had been sent out a few days ago.
Although it has not been open for the past two days, there are many people watching the excitement at the door. The publicity effect is not very good, so security must be in place, otherwise if there is a stampede when there are too many people, it will really be a big problem.
...
Before dawn the next day, Dongzi came to the courtyard in a hurry.
"I said, even if the whole supermarket loses money, you don't have to be so excited, right?" Dongzi was pulled out of the bed reluctantly, looking at the black bags under Dongzi's eyes, it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you saying to be dejected so early in the morning? Hurry up and wash up so we can get over."
"Brother only opened at nine in the morning, and now it's only around five in the morning."
"Go over early and check everything. What if something goes wrong? Why are you so lazy?" Dongzi glared at Yang Dongxu.
"I've never seen you so excited about getting a wife." Yang Dongxu was speechless when he saw Dongzi acting like if you don't brush your teeth and wash your face, I'll drag you out like this.
After washing up, forget about breakfast at home. Even the hardworking Mother Cui and Aunt Hua can't prepare breakfast so early.
However, even though I went out for a walk, there were still no pedestrians on the street. Many people doing morning market business had already set up their stalls. Yang Dongxu always feels like his stomach is rebelling if he doesn't eat something after getting up.
So I got off the car and went to the roadside and bought a few fried dough sticks rolled with chili oil and minced garlic. I also ordered two tea eggs, four big meat buns and a cup of soy milk and ate them deliciously.
"What kind of garlic paste should I eat this morning?" Smelling the aroma of food, Dongzi's stomach growled a little after not eating much all night.
Seeing how delicious Yang Dongxu was eating, he obviously had no intention of sharing any of the breakfast for himself, so he muttered something in his mouth and turned around to get out of the car and buy one himself.
It was dark when we drove to the China World Trade Center. The lottery table at the door had been set up, but it was impossible for any employees to come to work so early.
Yang Dongxu shivered when he got out of the car and was hit by the cold wind. When Dongzi came down and looked around, he couldn't help but shout: "Go open the door quickly, you don't mind the cold."
"How can I open the door without a key? Why don't you open the door?"
"Where did I get the key?" Yang Dongxu asked back.
Then the scene fell silent. The two of them looked at each other with big eyes. Jie Chengwu, who had gotten up too early in the car and was a little sleepy, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I'll go, don't run away until I beat you to death." Yang Dongxu, who had been beaten to death after five o'clock, was so angry that he completely exploded and jumped over the car to grab Dongzi. There was no way Dongzi could be caught by him, so he ran away as soon as he saw something was wrong.
So when the security guard at the guard booth with yellowish lights not far away looked confused, Yang Dongxu and Dongzi chased each other at the entrance of the store. The security guard not far away was stunned for a long time and finally realized that these two people were not thieves, but psychopaths.
So he wrapped up his coat and turned around and walked back to the guard box. It was true that he was sick and didn't run away. He didn't stay in the comfortable bed in the early morning and came here to get nervous.
Yang Dongxu, who slept in the car for a while after dawn, got out of the car and stretched his body. Although he didn't sleep for a long time, he felt a sore back, which made his resentment towards Dongzi even deeper.
Although the door of the supermarket has not yet opened, a lot of people have gathered at the door. In this era without small advertisements, the attack of small advertisements for three consecutive days makes this newly opened large supermarket very attractive to customers.
Not long after the two got off the car, Hu Dashan, who had the key, drove his car to the International Trade Center. Hu Dashan used to hang out with Wan Jun.
Later, after running into international trade, Yang Dongxu's business was managed by Dongzi, while Wan Jun's business was managed by Hu Dashan. So Dongzi and Hu Dashan became familiar with each other after going back and forth.
After the trade business in the north stopped, Hu Dashan did not run to Hainan with Wan Jun, but rested for a while in Yanjing. Yang Dongxu wanted to build a large supermarket here, and Dongzi couldn't do it alone, so he called Hu Dashan to help.
Later, Dongzi took the initiative to abdicate and make way for someone more talented. Although he had not yet started the actual operation, supervising and accounting in the supermarket every day was obviously not the job he wanted. So, Hu Dashan naturally became the general manager of the first Millennium store of a large comprehensive supermarket. manager.
"Hey, Brother Yang Shaodong, why are you here so early?" Hu Dashan, who was holding the key and preparing to open the door, suddenly saw unexpected looks on the faces of Yang Dongxu and Dong Zi. Originally, he thought he had arrived quite early, but he didn't expect the two of them. The boss seems to have arrived earlier than me.
