Chapter 24 Investing in a Supermarket (2/2)



*

When Xia Shige got home, she saw Xia Guocheng and Xia Huiyin busy in the yard.

Xia Huiyin had already released fish and shrimp fry into the pond, and was helping Xia Guocheng plant fruit tree seedlings.

After the two of them finished their work, Xia Shige called them over and told them about his plan to invest in a supermarket.

"Since she said the supermarket has a bad flow of people, what if we take over and can't sell the things?" Xia Guocheng said with some concern.

"Uncle, don't worry. Have you forgotten what I said before about the abnormal weather? Everyone will need to stock up on goods by then."

Xia Shige thought for a moment and said, "It really won't work. Just think of this money as a loan from you. If I don't make any money, I'll return it to you with interest."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Is your uncle that kind of person?" Xia Guocheng said, "I have to call your aunt first to ask."

Xia Guocheng went to make a phone call, but Xia Huiyin didn't hesitate. She took out her bank card and gave it to Xia Shige, "I originally intended to leave this money for you as a dowry, but now I'm giving it all to you. You are fully responsible for how you spend it."

Xia Shige took the card and said to Xia Huiyin, "Don't worry, Mom. It will be a good investment if I invest this money in the supermarket."

In fact, there was another reason Xia Shige didn't mention. By owning this supermarket, his uncle, aunt, and mom would have something to do after the end of the world. Otherwise, with their obsession with work, Xia Shige was worried that they would get sick.

After a while, Xia Guocheng called and nodded to Xia Shige, saying, "Uncle also wants to buy shares. Your aunt agreed."

In the evening, Sun Yuegui also went home, leaving her grandmother and Grandma Liu to look after the house, while Xia Shige took the three of them out and met Lin Jingjing's family at a private restaurant in the community.

Lin Jingjing's father, Lin Yuanfeng, was a middle-aged man who was widowed early. He made money by driving a truck for long-distance freight and supported his son Lin Shuo and daughter Lin Jingjing to finish college.

Driving a truck is tiring. As Lin Yuanfeng gets older, he gradually feels that he can no longer handle the hardship of long-distance driving, so he bought a storefront in a commercial district and runs this supermarket with his daughter.

Unexpectedly, the supermarket business was so bad and he was not yet of retirement age, so he had no choice but to plan to continue running a freight business.

After the two families exchanged pleasantries, Lin Yuanfeng got to the point and said, "I can't hide it from you. The daily turnover of this supermarket is very low now. If you really want to buy shares, you may not be able to make up the capital at all."

"Don't worry, we all know that the supermarket is not small, but the goods are a bit monotonous. Because of the low turnover, we can only reduce the categories later, which is a vicious cycle."

"After we acquire shares, we can enrich the merchandise and perhaps we can revive the store."

Xia Shige could only make up a story. She couldn't just tell the Lin family directly that the temperature would soon rise, prices would go up, and the factory would shut down. By then, it would be a seller's market and they would have no trouble selling their goods.

Moreover, the occupancy rate of this community is only temporarily low. Not to mention in the long run, after this tornado passes, many owners will move here from the disaster area.

After some discussion, seeing that the Xia family was determined, Lin Yu did not try to persuade them any further.

The two families directly signed a shareholding agreement. Xia Guocheng and Xia Huiyin each contributed 300,000 yuan, for a total of 600,000 shares in the supermarket. The two families agreed on the shareholding ratio and decided to run the business together in the future.
