Chapter 1123 Damn, your supermarket is too big
"You don't know. I'm always at home watching over the store. How would I know?"
Faced with her husband's puzzled look, Wang Jingyu, who rarely went to the city recently, was also confused.
She had heard about the relocation of the old station, but she was not aware of the changes in the original address of the old station. She was too busy with her online store business to pay attention to it.
"It's the five-story building that was just built on the site of the old station. Dad, you should have seen it."
Knowing that Tianrun Supermarket had not yet started its official promotion, Zhou Anan gave a detailed explanation.
Generally speaking, large supermarkets will carry out a series of promotions one month before opening. However, Tianrun Supermarket Lizhou Store, which is preparing to open on Christmas Eve, is still making intensive preparations for its opening and has not yet entered the promotion stage.
"That supermarket you mentioned, on which floor of the building is it located?"
When Zhou Youliang heard where his son was going to open a supermarket, he thought it was a good idea and asked for the specific address.
He knew about the newly built luxurious building on the site of the old train station because he often drove past it. A few days ago, some people in the village were discussing what was used there. Most people speculated that it was a large shopping mall, and they thought it was the most reliable.
Unexpectedly, my son quietly rented a store there and opened a supermarket. The location and environment are good, and the specifications are high enough. However, the cost of opening the store is a bit high, and I don’t know if it can be profitable.
"What do you mean a few floors? The whole building is like this."
"Pfft, cough cough cough."
Zhou Youliang, who was drinking tea, was accidentally scalded. After spitting out the hot water, he started coughing continuously and his face turned red.
Just opening a supermarket in that entire building must cost tens of millions, right?
What does such a big supermarket sell?
"It's not easy to drink some water, are you okay?"
Handing over a tissue, Wang Jingyu patted her husband on the back and asked with concern.
She was surprised when she heard what her son said, but she was relatively easy to accept. After all, the sales of thermos bottles in her online store had a turnover of more than 7 million today.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
Zhou Youliang stopped coughing and waved his hand. Then he looked at his son across from him with a red face: "How much is the annual rent for that building? The cost is so high, wouldn't it be a big loss to open a supermarket?"
Subconsciously, Zhou Youliang thought about the cost of renting the building. A supermarket is not a gold shop. What use would such a large area have? If it loses money, it will have to close down.
"It's okay. We bought the land and built the building ourselves."
After hearing her father's concerns, Zhou Anan explained with a smile.
Knowing that her father always took a cautious approach, Zhou Anan felt that this supermarket business was really suitable for the other party. There was no need to pay rent, it was a sure profit, and there was no need to bear any pressure at all.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Zhou Youliang took the tissue from his wife and wiped his face again. He leaned back on the sofa and asked hoarsely, "How much did you spend on this supermarket? Who did you partner with? Where did you get so much money?"
"I spent about 80 million yuan on the project in cooperation with Tianrun Group, and I own 68% of the shares. I used the money to open a training department, and invested some of it in the stock market. I accidentally made ten times the profit, so I took it out and opened a supermarket."
Faced with his father's three consecutive questions, Zhou Anan answered calmly.
When talking about the source of the money, Zhou Anan's words were half true and half false.
He made ten times the money by buying TX stocks, and sold them for cash at the highest point at the time, but this was not the real source of the 58 million investment in Tianrun Supermarket.
"With so much money, you're going to invest it in a supermarket?"
When he heard the total investment of 80 million, although it was not paid by his son alone, Zhou Youliang's heart trembled a little when he thought of the huge number.
It's tens of millions, just to open a supermarket, it's a sin.
"If you buy the land and build your own house, you will definitely not lose money. You also know the housing prices in downtown Lizhou. If the supermarket loses money, it will be no problem to sell it and make tens of millions."
“.”
Half an hour later, a black Audi A4 stopped at the entrance of the Tianrun Supermarket parking lot which had not yet opened. The young man who was waiting there greeted them with a smile.
"Manager Wen, this is my dad and mom. Mom and Dad, this is the current person in charge of Tianrun Supermarket Lizhou Store, Manager Wen Yi."
Zhou Anan got out of the car and introduced both parties.
Upon learning about the investment of tens of millions, Wang Jingyu, his mother, came along even though the JD Mall event day had not yet ended.
Anyway, the online store business is not going to go away, but I really have to be cautious about this huge investment for my son.
Tens of millions! Her online store has been running and business is booming, but she has not made 10 million. However, her son has quietly invested tens of millions to open a supermarket.
It really is.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou."
"Hello, Manager Wen."
After shaking hands with the gentle young manager, Zhou Youliang looked at the exterior of the luxurious building, feeling a little unreal.
"Mr. Zhou has briefly mentioned the details to me. So, let me introduce our supermarket to you two."
After exchanging a glance with the young boss, Wen Yi smiled and led the way.
"This is the entrance to the supermarket. This floor mainly displays children's books, affordable clothes, and electrical appliances."
Following Manager Wen from the supermarket entrance on the third floor to the exit on the first floor, Zhou Youliang found that the fourth and fifth floors were not mentioned, so he asked curiously: "Manager Wen, what are the fourth and fifth floors used for?"
“The fourth floor, fifth floor, top balcony and basement level are all used as parking lots.”
Facing the question about the future general manager, Wen Yi answered without any impatience.
“Isn’t it a waste to use so much space as parking lots?”
Hearing that all four floors were used as parking lots, Zhou Youliang was secretly surprised and asked with some regret.
"No waste. The number of cars in Lizhou is increasing significantly, but there is no parking space planning in the urban area. Moreover, Lizhou just established an urban management team in the first half of this year, and its first task is to rectify the parking chaos in the urban area."
Whenever the big boss's father asked questions, Wen Yi answered them patiently.
With the introduction of the local boss, the leaders of Wen Yi and Lizhou were fully aware of the situation and had a wide range of information. They were very impressed by the boss's original proposal for a four-story parking lot.
They always think three steps ahead. Even those 'Smart Guys' in the planning department of their group headquarters would not think so far ahead and would only plan the Lizhou store according to the conventional layout of other domestic stores.
Afterwards, Wen Yi briefly introduced issues such as personnel training, cargo transportation, and daily management without any impatience, demonstrating the qualities of a professional manager.
"Manager Wen, thank you for your help tonight. How about we treat you to a midnight snack?"
After Zhou Youliang had a general understanding of the preparations for Tianrun Supermarket, he looked at his mobile phone and found that it was already 9:30 in the evening. In a blink of an eye, he had delayed the other party for nearly three hours. He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to treat the other party to a midnight snack.
"No, no, I've been exercising recently and I don't even eat midnight snacks. If you have any questions, Mr. Zhou, you can call me at any time, or come to our site for inspection. I'm usually here."
Faced with the invitation from the big boss's father, Wen Yi was naturally embarrassed to accept it when they met for the first time.
"Okay then. Thank you, Manager Wen, for tonight."
After parting with Manager Wen, Zhou Youliang drove home with his wife and son, and everything was relatively quiet.
After returning home, Zhou Youliang asked his son to sit in the living room, sorted out his thoughts, and said nervously: "Son, I'm afraid I can't manage such a big supermarket."
