I don’t think it’s necessary to try to achieve everything at once. There is still a lot of time and opportunities left for me to develop.

After thinking it through, Han Chudong stopped worrying about it and decided to first understand the specific situation and then "borrow some money" from his family after he was fully prepared.

We are a family.

In fact, it’s not a question of whether to lend it or not. I feel that if it is really suitable for me, I will convince my family members even if it means begging for mercy.

There is no other way. I only have so much money on hand. It is not realistic to borrow money from the bank or friends.

Since you are thinking about starting a business, you should do it on a bigger scale. If the product categories are too few, it will not attract attention and will be similar to other home appliance sellers, which is not the result Han Chudong wants.

As for losses, he never thought about it at all.

If there are still some goods after purchasing, the worst that can happen is that you can clear out the stock and sell them at cost price. At least you can recover some of the costs. The only things you lose are time and part of the initial investment. It's worth a gamble.

If you have too many chips in your hand, they are only enough for one gamble.

In Han Chudong's opinion, capital, stores, purchasing channels, and maintenance channels are all indispensable.

I had no experience at all, so I had to do some research in advance, figure out where I could find the cheapest source of goods, ask about the shop rental price, the total size of the initial investment, etc., before I could ask my parents for money to start a business with my project.

In fact, if you think of some ways and spend some time, you can probably earn enough money to open a store. However, since I know that my family has a small treasury and the project is relatively stable, there is no need to waste that energy.

Taking a step back, even if the idea of ​​running a home appliance mall fails, Han Chudong is confident that he can guarantee their future life and avoid becoming a prodigal son who has cheated his family in the eyes of others.

Staggering, thinking as he walked.

When he came across a vendor selling candied haws, he bought a string. The hawthorn flavor reminded him of his childhood.

It seems like I have been reading for as long as I can remember.

I didn't make any money in elementary school, junior high school, and high school, I was spending money all the time. I received a scholarship every semester in college, but after adding up the cost of living and tuition, I still didn't make any money.

I came to the United States when I was studying for my master's and doctoral degrees. Needless to say, the tuition fees were extremely expensive. Since it is difficult to get a full scholarship when studying abroad, it still cost a lot.

Just when he was about to return to his home country to work and earn money, God played a joke on him and he unexpectedly returned to the 1970s.

That being said.

The more than 10,000 US dollars that were intercepted a few days ago was actually the first time that Han Chudong had truly earned money, and the scholarships and grants were more like getting back part of the tuition he had paid through his own hard work.

Always living a tight life.

This also prompted Han Chudong to become full of desire for money when he discovered the opportunity.

He hopes that one day in the future, he can say to someone casually, "I am not interested in money at all, I don't need money at all", or "Young people should set a small goal and earn 100 million first". Just thinking about it makes him feel good.

The location of the site is important.

If you open a store in Chinatown, your customer base will only be this many people, and most of them are not wealthy. Some families' televisions and radios may have been manufactured in the early 1960s or 1950s, and they will never replace them until they break.

If it is opened outside, it is more likely to attract other customer groups, but these compatriots are likely to go directly to those small retail stores nearby to buy goods.

Han Chudong still remembers the scene when the first Suning Appliance City opened in his hometown. It was so lively at that time. The specific operation details are not clear, but there are some things worth learning from. It was just one store, and he believed that he could handle it well.

Precisely because I have no business experience, I consider things more carefully.

I first came up with the idea of ​​starting a business in this area, and after coming up with a rough framework, I began to think about the details. Even though I hadn't made a penny yet, I was already amazed by some of the ideas, such as the "old for new" service.

You can earn less, but small profits but quick turnover is also good.

He was not going to rashly get involved in this business. The business ideas in his head were increasing his confidence...

The buildings are quaint, with archways and red lanterns everywhere.

The road surface is greasy and garbage can be seen everywhere. The environment of Chinatown is quite different from other areas in Los Angeles, which leads to the fact that housing prices here cannot be increased.

The subway has not been built here yet, and there are very few white people on the streets. There are more Asians and many Southeast Asians with slightly darker skin, so the security situation is rather chaotic.

The square with the "天下为公" archway is smaller, while the square with the "孟欧之风" archway is more famous and has more pedestrians. The so-called "Meng Ou" refers to Mencius and Ouyang Xiu. It is not praising or singing praises to the two of them, but praising their mothers. It implies being kind to others and living in harmony with neighbors.

Few people understand the meaning of this sentence. Most Chinatown residents only regard it as a landmark building and only mention it when eating, taking a taxi or meeting others.

Wandered all the way here.

There were several shops closed. It was originally an antique shop. Han Chudong thought the location was good, so he went over to check the red notice posted on it. It was a resale information.

Sell, not rent.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The location is pretty good, which means the prices in the store must not be cheap. I put my face close to the glass and took a look inside. The shelves and everything were cleared out, with only some sundries left inside, which was about a hundred square meters.

It will take many years for online shopping to become popular. Today, the retail industry is relatively easy to do and is very fragmented. Supermarkets and convenience store chains are not yet popular.

I am quite satisfied with the nearby traffic and the size of the store, but it's a pity that I am planning to sell it instead of renting it out.

Thought I'd ask first.

Han Chudong memorized the number and went to a nearby tobacco and alcohol store and asked, "I want to make a call. How much is it?"

"One minute and thirty."

"What? Thirty dollars a minute?!" He blurted out words full of disbelief.

The aunt looked at Han Chudong as if he was a fool, and continued, "Cents, not dollars. I want to make thirty dollars. Who is willing to give it to me?"

"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something and didn't respond."

Han Chudong was not in a hurry to make a phone call, but first asked tentatively: "May I ask who owns the antique shop next door? I want to rent it for a long time, but does the owner plan to sell it?"

"You want to rent it? I don't know who the boss is, but the old man who opened the store before took a nap in front of the store and never woke up again. All the things were moved away. What kind of store are you planning to open?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a look first."

The aunt nodded after listening, and then said again: "I can do anything else, but if you dare to open a tobacco shop, I will definitely make trouble. You are so young, don't do anything that will ruin my job, do you hear me?"

"Of course not. Putting two similar stores together is a futile move. Who doesn't want to make money when doing business? Excuse me, how much is the rent for your store?"

"I own the shop, and the gold shop next door also belongs to me. I rent it out to others and earn $6,000 a year, which helps to supplement my family income."

She said she was making do, but her face was full of pride. She even added, "Someone wants to rent my shop. You can make 12,000 yuan a year just by lying at home. Unfortunately, I can't sit idle, so I just sell some things to find something to do."

Han Chudong was very considerate and agreed, "You are having a great life. The rent is so low, so the store must be worth two or three hundred thousand, right?"

The auntie was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She thought she had found an opportunity to show off her wealth and continued:

"That's right. I'm definitely not willing to sell it for less than 100,000 yuan per room. Young man, it might be a bit difficult for you to rent that big store. The best stores nearby are those three, and they are all connected. The rent will definitely not be low..."
