After playing for a day, Zheng Xiong lay on the bed early, forgetting what happened during the day, and quietly thinking about the future of the two brothers.
Whether a relationship is strong or not, Zheng Xiong has set the right example, and nothing can express it better than paying for a brother's health care.
I definitely have to pull him in. These two guys are my few friends in this world, and they have fought for me in battles.
Their base is Huimin Pharmacy, but they are not good at the work of the doctors at Huimin Pharmacy. If you want to make ends meet, it's okay. There is plenty of work elsewhere, you can take care of yourself, and you can still get a monthly salary.
But if I want my brother to live a better life, I'm afraid that's not possible.
I also want my brother to live a better life so that I can take care of myself.
Then you can only do a small business, and you have to do business to make money. With your own guidance, it shouldn't be difficult to make money.
But we still have to listen to the opinions of the two brothers. From now on, it is up to them to decide whether it is good or bad. They can just give their own opinions.
I fell asleep thinking about it.
"The second brother and the third brother have played with each other before. The eldest brother thought about it. Either come to the pharmacy, and you will be paid 600 yuan a month. The eldest brother will operate it for you. If you get more wages, it will not be a problem every month. "
"Either my eldest brother will find you a shop and I'll pay for the cost. I'll be considered a member of the eldest brother's team. The money earned will be 50-50 between us. The two options have pros and cons. The first one is more stable with me at Huimin Pharmacy. You can’t make much money. Although the second aspect is unstable, if you do it well, you can make some money. Think about it and don’t rush to answer.”
"Brother, I'll just take care of the arrangements."
"I'm not in charge of the arrangement. It's up to you two to decide what to do. It's up to you to make the choice."
After Zheng Xiong finished speaking, the two of them thought about it for a while. They had been influenced by it since childhood. What they used to do at home was a small business, so it shouldn't be difficult to make some money. Not many of the helpers were around, and they struggled all day long to have enough food and clothing, but Zheng Xiong's care in the pharmacy was still very attractive.
"We have been separated for so many years, and a stable life is enough. But we still have to try to see if we can regain what we have lost. If we are reunited in the future, we can hold our heads high and say: I, Zhang San and Wang Erma, will never be weaker than others in my life."
"Have you thought about it? You two are going to open a shop and do some small business."
"Well, brother, I need to worry more."
"Okay, you two want to start a small business. After you think about it, let's go check out the store."
"Brother, our family used to sell rice and noodles, but I'm afraid it won't work now. Without the previous connections, in Nanjing, if you want to do something now, you still need your eldest brother's guidance."
Rice and noodles do require good connections, otherwise they won’t make any money. It’s common for people to shop around for some money. It’s common for people to haggle over everything. If it’s too expensive, no one will buy it.
Zheng Xiong knew a lot about other businesses, but there was nothing suitable for his small shop.
Shops in this era were mostly called shops or shops, and basically only engaged in one kind of business. Grocery stores were a bit of a no-brainer.
"How about opening a grocery store?"
After thinking about it, the literal meaning of the grocery store was that it sold everything, so the two of them were not entangled.
"Brother, does the grocery store sell everything?"
"Well, sell whatever you have!"
“Can this really make money?”
“I really don’t know if it will make money or not, but I think it should be possible.”
Although he has memories of later generations and there are many convenience stores opened across the country, Zheng Xiong does not dare to speak too fully. There is no reason why others can’t discover a profitable business. Nowadays, there are specialized shops that specialize in one thing.
Judging from the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, shops and markets in the Northern Song Dynasty were separated, and the capital Tokyo (Kaifeng) was the largest commercial center city at that time.
According to historical records: From East Street (Tokyo) to Xinsongmen, the fish market, meat market, lacquerware, and gold and silver shops are most concentrated. From West Street to Xinzhengmen, there are fresh fruit markets and jewelry and jade shops. Outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City, there is nothing Do not have. "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" has detailedly recorded the scene of ancient shops and commercial markets.
If you want to buy things, there are special markets that cover everything, and there are also salesmen walking around the streets. There is definitely room for survival in grocery stores, and there is no need to carry some small items around. It is hard to say whether the market will be big or not.
Zheng Xiong didn't know if it would be possible to open a shop specifically to sell groceries. The best thing would be to open a supermarket. This thing was designed to make money, but his shop was too small.
Our country established a supermarket 400 years ago that has been in operation for 240 years: Sun Chunyang Nanhuo Store, which was founded during the Wanli period.
Sun Chunyang was very talented in business and managed the Nanhuo Shop in an impressive manner. The goods in the shop are divided into six rooms for display: "the southern goods room, the northern goods room, the sea goods room, the cured meat room, the preserves room, and the candle room." Just like today's supermarkets, department stores are displayed in sections. Judging from historical records, Sun Chunyang South Store seems to have adopted the open-shelf display method of operation. Customers look at the goods in each room, write down which product they like, and pay at the counter. The cashier will issue A small ticket (bill of lading) can be used to pick up the goods from various parties.
Now let the two brothers practice their skills in a grocery store, and they can consider opening a supermarket in the future.
Find your daddy.
"Dad, did I buy a shop with my hundred yuan?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet. I can't buy a better shop. Either the location is not good or the price is expensive. I suddenly asked about this. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just told my two brothers that I want to start a small business for them, specializing in selling groceries. I don't have enough capital, so let me ask."
Zheng Qi thought for a while, Zheng Xiong was a well-educated person, and he knew a lot about small business. Since he didn't ask, let them do it themselves.
"Take it if you want it. I gave you a shop before, but I haven't rented it out yet. You can let them use it first. It shouldn't cost much."
"not yet."
"Then let them use the shop. Your father and I also have some groceries here. If they want to get them, they can drag some over and hold them up first."
"That's okay too."
After thinking about it, I can only do this. I can only collect rent slowly.
"Come with me. I have a shop in Qinhuai River. I haven't visited it yet. Let's go and have a look. If possible, my father has some groceries. Let's try to sell them first."
"Okay, big brother will arrange it."
The key had been given to Zheng Xiong a long time ago. He went to his bedroom to find the key, and Zheng Xiong took his two brothers to the Qinhuai River.
After finding the shop, Zheng Xiong opened the door. The empty shop was covered with dust.
After looking around, I saw that it was quite nice and the space was quite large.
Walking to the backyard, there are two small rooms, which are just suitable for people.
The outside looked good. It happened to be on the street along the Qinhuai River, and the traffic situation was okay. I took out the key and handed it to the two brothers.
"You two work on it first. I have to go to work. If you have any questions, go to my dad."
If he didn't leave, he would have to clean up. Zheng Xiong hurriedly ran away. He could only give some advice and give the two brothers some money to support themselves, and forget about the rest.
Zhang San and Wang Erma didn't think much about it. Zheng Xiong should have more things to do.
"Brother, walk slowly."
