Chapter 15 If you can’t make money, expand the store (1 update)
After scaring the cunning Shengmen, Sang Yian strolled around the supermarket and began to plan.
Yes, planning.
Sang Yian was very serious about her dream of opening a small supermarket.
She has been a very planned person since she was a child. Moreover, she would do it as soon as she thought of it and never regret it. Although she has stepped into many pits and hit many walls because of this, she never changed.
The urban village is densely populated and chaotic. There are local residents who have lived there for decades, tenants who come from outside to work, and some houses have been directly converted into warehouses and rented out. Generally speaking, there are many people and a variety of people. Opening a small supermarket in such a place will not be bad business.
She initially decided to open a supermarket here because the houses were cheap, and she had lived here for four years and was very familiar with the area.
However, she also felt that the supermarket's business was not very good during the opening period.
There were very few customers coming every day, and they basically just bought snacks, ice cream, drinks and the like.
The daily turnover was less than 300 yuan. If it continued like this, it would probably be like what those people said, and it would go bankrupt soon.
Sang Yian's philosophy was that she could make a small profit, but she couldn't make no profit at all, or even lose money!
She observed these days and found that the fundamental reason for the poor business was that her supermarket was a shabby one.
There are indeed a lot of people here, but there is basically a small store every few steps, a very small one, with a total area of only about 30 square meters, and they only sell oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, snacks, and some soaps, laundry detergents, toilet paper and other daily necessities.
The increase in such small stores has a great impact on the business in the supermarket. After all, no one would go far away.
Although the goods in the supermarket are more complete than those in various small stores, if there is no urgent need, online shopping is basically the first choice for young people.
This has led to very poor business in the supermarket.
Sang Yian did not consider everything carefully when it was her first time to do business, but she was not discouraged. When she encountered a problem, she would naturally solve it.
She has never been an evasive person.
She went back and forth between the shelves. It seemed that she needed to adjust the supply of goods in the store.
As for the goods, it would depend on where today's customers came from.
Yes, Sang Yian decided to sell some products from another world in the supermarket to attract some popularity for her small supermarket.
However, the shelves in this store were too full. There was no extra space for new shelves. It seemed that she could consider expanding the small supermarket. Anyway, she was not short of money now.
Sang Yian immediately wrote down the second item of supermarket development in her small notebook: expanding the store. This was in preparation for the development of the real supermarket.
As for the first item, of course, it was to prepare a warehouse. This was for these customers from another world.
She did what she said. Since the barber shop next door was for sale, she could ask the price. Then she could open a door on the wall to connect it to the supermarket.
"Your house is more than 30 years old. After I buy it, I need to tear it down and renovate it. This is also a big expense. 850,000 is still too expensive. The price is 800,000!"
The buyer looked around and started to bargain.
Wang Decai frowned when he heard this, "No! We've already agreed on 850,000, no bargaining!"
"Although my place is a little old, the two floors together are 140 square meters!"
The agent took a look and immediately said, "Brother Wang, your place is indeed not small, but the geographical location is not advantageous, and you can't even do business."
"Look at the small supermarket next to your house. There are no customers in a day. It will probably close down in a few days."
Sang Yian, who was standing outside the store, raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't like what she heard.
The agent continued to lobby, "Opening a store here is also quite risky. Moreover, it will cost a lot to renovate it. The price of 800,000 is okay."
Wang Decai's wrinkled eyebrows could kill a fly.
"Uncle Wang, I picked up a few apples. Try them. They taste good." Sang Yian came over with four apples, smiling.
Wang Decai frowned, "What's wrong with you? You have to sell them for money!"
Sang Yian didn't care, "Don't I have many customers? These fruits can't be sold. If you don't eat them, they will go bad. Isn't that a waste?"
The agent on the side said hurriedly, "Brother Wang, look, business is really hard now. Brother Chen's offer of 800,000 is really high. If you miss Brother Chen, it will be difficult to find a buyer for your house." Wang Decai hesitated
. He was unwilling to lose 50,000 in vain, and he was also worried that the house could not be sold.
Sang Yian knew his chance had come as soon as he saw it.
"Uncle Wang, your house is a little old, but it's big. 850,000 is already very reasonable."
Wang Decai nodded, "Yes! Yes! I plan to use this money for my retirement."
The buyer was a little unhappy, "Where are you from? How can this broken house be worth 850,000? It has no investment value, and you can't live in it. It's hard to even open a store and do some small business." "
I asked around before I came here. The small supermarket next door has been open for less than half a month, and the number of customers who come in a day can be counted on one hand! Sooner or later, you will lose money!"
"This broken place is only worth 800,000. I won't buy it for a penny more!"
That's what I want you to say!
Sang Yian smiled and said, "I'll buy it."
Buyer: "???"
Agent: "???"
Wang Decai: "!!!!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone had different looks.
The buyer was the first to react, and his eyes moved between Sang Yian and Wang Decai.
He snorted coldly, "Is this someone you hired? I've been doing business for so many years, I won't be fooled by you! You, a little girl, don't look like you can come up with so much money!"
Sang Yian glanced at him, "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to buy it for 850,000?"
The buyer put one hand in his trouser pocket and said arrogantly, "No."
Sang Yian immediately walked to Wang Decai and asked with a smile, "Uncle Wang, then sell it to me, I can pay in full."
Wang Decai was confused.
The buyer sneered, "Your acting is exaggerated and you are just pretending."
Sang Yian took out the contract from the agent's hand, "Uncle Wang, let's sign the contract while the bank is still open. I will transfer the money to you immediately. We will transfer the property tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Wang Decai took the signature pen handed over by Sang Yian in a daze.
The buyer sneered, "Go on, act, today I will see how long you can act!"
An hour later, the two signed the contract, and Wang Decai successfully got 850,000 yuan for the house.
The buyer and the agent were dumbfounded.
