School is closed.
Classes were not suspended during the senior year of high school, and most of the fruit box business of "Fresh Times" was suddenly gone. The money was lost, which allowed Wei Tao to take a break.
While other industries have come to a standstill, business in the livelihood security industry has actually seen better returns.
Hotels are closed, some shopping malls are also closed, major universities have begun to close themselves, and people's lives have to continue. The "fresh time" in "Anshun Street" has long been famous in this area, and various services and products Due to the lack of quality and quantity, even if another 'fruit and vegetable supermarket' opens at the intersection, it will not be able to compete with 'Fresh Times' in terms of business.
From cold to hot, the truly tense time in Northeast China only lasts for more than a month.
After classes resumed in large areas, the fourth aunt's 'Xianshiguang' fruit and vegetable supermarket also opened a few kilometers away. The family was very grateful to Wei Tao. The difference between the rented house prices before and after was not even a tiny bit.
During the special period, Wei Tao was not idle. He chose the address of his second store and signed an agreement that the rent would not increase for two years. The rent was cheap. Qiu Bo was not willing to be a temporary worker anymore. Here A good friend found a way out and spent a day chatting with Wei Tao. His family also supported him with 30,000 yuan and wanted to form a partnership with Wei Tao.
It's not a technical matter, and Wei Tao doesn't need to hide it. He can't be happy to be able to gather the power of many people to make money together, expand operations and expand influence.
I rented a large market house on the main street outside Cao Xiyu's community. In a few years, this place will be very lively. Even if the rent increases year after year, it will not be a pressure. As long as the rent is cheap in one or two years, the future will not be a problem.
This time during the renovation, Wei Tao had more room to display, from the plaques outside to the floor-to-ceiling windows, to the lights inside the house, to the shelves, to the entire interior style. He began to follow the path of an aftermarket fruit and vegetable supermarket. Qiu Bo's parents spent money. It felt a little distressing, but Qiu Bo had great confidence in Wei Tao. He was just investing, and everything belonged to his brother. He also took almost the same amount of money, so why should he pay 50/50? These are brothers.
If it weren't for the special period, fruit and vegetable supermarkets have already sprung up all over the city. Some people who came back from the south were shocked by such advanced awareness in their hometown. You know, there are only such self-selected fruit and vegetable supermarkets in the south. .
The model has been recognized, and there are no worries about customer flow and sales when it opens. Not to mention Wei Tao, who is the first to eat crabs. More than ten years later, these fruit and vegetable supermarkets are still opening one after another. I wish there were several in one community. , I haven’t seen many of them go bankrupt, so it can be seen that this thing is still profitable, just make more or less.
On the 'Anshun Street' side, Wei Tao also rented the garage next to it, opened it up, and expanded the scale not because there were more customers, but to make the entire indoor environment look more reasonable, so that customers can also make purchases when they come. It has more space and is less crowded.
Although this is nothing, with the potential impact of the service and environment, it is always crowded every time you come, and people may not be willing to come after a few times.
Now, the house is spacious, there are more shelves, and the distance between each other is wider. After the beginning of spring, some chairs are placed at the door, and nearby residents are happy to gather at the door of 'Fresh Time'.
Zhou Xinglian no longer questions her son. She made a little over 20,000 yuan before and after the New Year sale. The school business after the New Year has enriched the concept of small profits but quick turnover to the extreme.
From more than 1,000 servings a day to more than 2,000 servings a day, Zhou Xinglian would not dare to think how much money he could make from this alone if it were not for a special period. Even in the most difficult times, the business of 'Fresh Time' was still very good. The characteristics of door-to-door delivery of genuine goods made others think it was a difficult time, and Wei Tao made a lot of money again.
Anyway, she knew that after the spring, she also took 30,000 yuan for the second store, and on the first day of opening, she sold 10,000 yuan in sales.
The store has the advantages of scale and geographical location, and it is a key commercial and residential area in Jiangnan area. When others were preparing to wait until the special period passed before making plans, Wei Tao rented a house at a low price in advance and decorated it in advance. While others were still making preparations, , he has opened his business.
………………
'Fresh Times' is also somewhat famous, with three stores.
The fruit and vegetable supermarket run by my eldest uncle and his sister also quietly changed the plaque and put up the plaque of 'Fresh Times' Fruit and Vegetable Supermarket. Wei Tao couldn't say anything about this, he just mentioned it to his aunt tactfully. Recommended by customers, relatives and friends, I walked into "Fresh Times" because of the integrity here. Let's make money, don't ruin your own brand.
Early in the morning, the fruit wholesale market.
Four vans.
The eldest uncle's brother-in-law, Zhang Jian, Qiu Bo and Wei Tao, no one lags behind others in making money.
The fourth aunt's family has completely given up on finding a job for her cousin. Now she is looking for a shabby factory, and she doesn't know when she will be laid off. The best way to start her own business is to run her own business.
The impact of new things, the eternal market supply and demand in the people's livelihood security industry, someone will lead the way, open a fruit and vegetable supermarket, you don't have to worry about making money, just make more or less.
Recently, even Zhu Xichun and his family have been moved to let their children learn to cook, so that they can survive in the future if they have a skill. Now that Wei Tao and Qiu Bo have come together, not to mention how much they earn, Zhu Xichun is not willing to stay alone. After discussing with his parents, they also spend 30,000 yuan and form a partnership with Wei Tao.
His parents are planning to open one by themselves, so Zhu Xichun quits: "It's all Taozi's business. You're secretly happy if you can lead us to make money. Do you think you can make money just by opening one? I'm embarrassed to drag Taozi from scratch." He helped us open the store from end to end. Besides, 30,000 yuan is not enough. Renting a house, decorating it, and buying a second-hand van will cost at least several thousand yuan once the fruit is purchased."
Zhu Xichun's parents actually went to the vegetable wholesale market and the fruit wholesale market. They couldn't see how deep the water was. With their son's persistence, the two good buddies eventually moved on from their own life trajectories. The road to small business.
In the fruit wholesale market in the early morning, Liu Dalong handed a cigarette to Wei Tao: "Okay, Wei Tao, your scale is okay, and it is developing fast enough."
Wei Tao took it and took out a lighter to light for Liu Dalong first, and then lit it for himself: "Uncle, I heard Lei Zi say that you won't let him go to work. Will he come back to help you?"
Liu Dalong nodded: "Well, I really didn't expect that the market of fruit and vegetable supermarkets is so good. Some time ago, several trucks of fruit I had were stranded on the road, and I lost hundreds of thousands. These fruit and vegetable supermarkets of mine provided me with more than a dozen The sales volume of 10,000 yuan has not cut off my cash flow, which has helped me a lot. Before it is saturated, I plan to open a few more stores. The risk of transportation and wholesale is too great, so it is safer to open a supermarket. At worst, I will not do it in the future. Now, I also come here to wholesale.”
Wei Tao squinted his eyes and exhaled the smoke in his mouth: "Uncle, will the competition become more and more fierce?"
Liu Dalong smiled slightly: "You have a good brain. As long as we have the supply, we are not afraid of our opponents. At worst, we can have a few special sales with them."
Wei Tao scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "My mother and I didn't have much money at that time, so we didn't dare to overstock the goods. We could only move in and out quickly so that we would have enough money in our hands to purchase goods. I also want to thank you, uncle, for letting me buy goods." I can pay later.”
Liu Dalong waved his hand: "It's not me who's helping, it's you who are fighting for your own good. Look at whoever's goods you want to buy now. They all greet you with a smile and give you a day or two to pay. That's to win you over. There's also No. 2 Middle School. It's awesome. Captain Cao is famous for being unkind, and Principal Zhou is also selfless. If you can help you, that's because you are awesome. Like me, I have used a lot of connections during this time, but I haven't been able to run a school. You don’t know, right? Several schools now have affordable fresh fruit boxes to help students, right?”
"ah?"
Wei Tao smiled bitterly, this world never lacks smart people.
You can plagiarize and imitate things at will, and the only way you can lead is to take a half step forward. At most, you can get a taste of something new. After that, there will definitely be countless people who follow suit and occupy the market until it is saturated.
How much more can I earn in this industry?
Just now, 'Fresh Time' has gained a little bit of brand effect.
It feels like a sense of accomplishment to have just expanded my business and own two partnerships at the same time.
Nothing left, earning tens of thousands of yuan, and a few thousand yuan a month in the future despite droughts and floods, is this my goal?
