Although she studied accounting and management, Zhou Min had no idea how much revenue a successful physical store could generate each month because she had never run a business herself.

In her view, even if she could make a net profit of a few hundred yuan a month, this was East China.

The average wage for workers in East China cities is definitely higher than in smaller towns; it's at least 100 yuan a month.

If Ji Wanmei deducts the salaries of the two salespersons, the monthly rent, and other costs, wouldn't she have no profit left?

Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "That's fine. It doesn't matter if we earn less in the early stages. What I'm looking for is the long-term development of the brand."

Ji Wanmei can earn six or seven thousand yuan a month by opening a women's products specialty store in Pingquan County. She is confident that she can make tens of thousands of yuan a month here in East China.

As for her saying she'd earn less, she meant earning a few thousand a month, not expecting to make a fortune right from the start.

In this day and age, keeping money in a bank is definitely not as good as investing in real industries.

Zhou Min looked at Ji Wanmei and said, "Wanmei, sometimes I really admire you."

Ji Wanmei chuckled: "What do you admire about me?"

"I admire you for having your own ideas, for daring to think, fight, and act." Zhou Min stuffed a mouthful of wonton into her mouth. "Actually, I think I sometimes have a lot of ideas myself, but I just don't have the courage and boldness to realize them. But you can do it, and you don't rely on anyone, you rely entirely on your own efforts. I really admire you for that."

This kind of courage and boldness, this determination to take action, has little to do with one's background.

Basically, it is determined by a person's personality and talent.

Zhou Min and Ji Wanmei have known each other for almost a year, but she has never actually seen Ji Wanmei stay at home.

This is what she admires about Ji Wanmei.
