Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Making preparations behind the scenes
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ruyue asked after entering the room and locking the door.
Zhao Ruyuan's face was full of worry: "Sister, do you still remember the distant relatives who took the initiative to give gifts on Mom's birthday?"
Of course Zhao Ruyue remembered that those distant relatives left a deep impression on her, because she had never thought that they would come to her family to discuss cooperation.
"Remember, they also came to you to discuss opening a store together?"
"If that's the case, I won't have to worry about it. I'll just refuse." When it comes to opening a store, Zhao Ruyuan has learned from her sister and doesn't expand easily, let alone accept investment from others to open a chain store.
Although she really wants to earn more money, she is not greedy and does not like a way of making money that makes her feel like she might lose control.
Zhao Ruyuan continued, "They haven't given up on your bakery yet, and they want to force you to agree to cooperate with them from other sources!"
"Somewhere else?" The moment Zhao Ruyue heard her words, her own child's face flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but worry. Could it be that they were planning to do something bad?
Fortunately, Zhao Ruyuan's next words dispelled her doubts: "They seem to have a relationship with the person in charge of the Chinese herbal medicine company you are looking for, or they are relatives. I don't quite understand, but they must be related. When they came, they hinted to me and asked me to convey their intentions to you. Basically, if you still don't agree, they will ruin your warehouse business, leaving your warehouse empty and your money stuck there."
This is also an important reason why Zhao Ruyuan is so worried. The land for building the warehouse was sold by her family to her sister. If her sister hadn't wanted to help her, she wouldn't have gone to the suburbs of the provincial capital to buy a piece of land that she would not have used.
So what if it is possible that it will be demolished there in the future?
It is also possible that the house will not be demolished. Who can predict such a thing? There is no inside information in their family.
In Zhao Ruyuan's view, her second sister helped her bear the risk of losing the 200,000 yuan in a piece of land. She hoped that after her second sister's warehouse was built, she could start making money as soon as possible and earn back the money invested in the land as soon as possible.
As soon as she got the news, Zhao Ruyuan wanted to contact Zhao Ruyue immediately, but the business in the store was too busy. She was thinking of calling her sister after the busiest period of customers, but it was a coincidence that her sister came with her parents.
Zhao Ruyuan felt much better after talking about this. She said anxiously, "Sister, we have to think of a way. We can't let them succeed!"
Zhao Ruyue was quite calm. After all, nothing had happened yet. "Don't worry. We don't know if what they said is true or not. I'll check it out first. If it's true, I'll go back and find a solution with your brother-in-law."
She is no longer the person who was in trouble and had nothing to risk her life except her life.
She has a share in Su Shengnan's maintenance and housekeeping service company, but they haven't told anyone about it, so not many people know about it.
This business currently does not look as grand as big businesses like real estate, and is also very inconspicuous.
But if you want to get any information, you can use it, and it is very convenient and effective.
Because of this, when they sign contracts with their employees, they also include a clause that prohibits the disclosure of client family information.
However, interpersonal relationships between customers are not within the scope of the contract terms. After all, many customers think that a certain employee in their company is good and will introduce them to each other.
In this way, the relationship between customers is no longer a secret.
Zhao Ruyue went to the branch in the provincial capital and took out the customer's file for review.
Nowadays, most of the people who ask maintenance personnel to come to their homes for even the most simple repair problems are single women and families with relatively good economic conditions.
Nowadays, many men in ordinary families can do some simple repairs, but they are generally reluctant to spend money to hire someone unless they have to.
Several of her distant relatives were very well off, but there were only a few places in the provincial capital where people with good economic conditions could gather and live together.
Their company's location is right in the center of these places, and it's not far from anywhere. In order to cater to the target customer group, the branch office is decorated in a more upscale style.
Zhao Ruyue is very confident in the employees she has trained and in the company. If her relatives have ever looked for maintenance or housekeeping services, there is a high chance that they are employees of her company.
She searched carefully and found it. The customer file recorded in detail which employee provided services to which companies and who introduced them.
At this point, the rest of the process will be much easier.
Zhao Ruyue continued to investigate and indeed found out that among those distant relatives, there was one who was indeed related to the client she had negotiated with. That client was the brother-in-law of that relative.
After finding out about this relationship, Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but guess that the reason why her warehouse found a high-quality customer before it was put into use was because someone was pushing it behind the scenes.
She didn't know if the other party was too arrogant or looked down on her and Ning Shaoming. Not only did he not hide the fact, but he also went to tell her sister about it.
This made it difficult for Zhao Ruyue not to think that this was a demonstration against her family.
Zhao Ruyue also felt helpless, but it was thanks to their little actions that she didn't know that the value of her bakery was even higher than she and Ning Shaoming imagined.
In this case, if you have money, of course you should earn it yourself. Why should you share it with someone who would play tricks behind your back?
It’s their business if they have money, but does that mean others have to accept their investment if they have money?
Zhao Ruyue held her anger and continued to investigate. She had to first confirm whether the other party had any other strong connections.
After checking in the end, she found out that they were just relatively rich. After moving to the provincial capital for so many years, their business was not very prosperous. Compared with her hometown, they were definitely considered particularly wealthy, but they were not ranked high in the provincial capital.
So even though he knew some people in the provincial capital, they were just acquaintances and there was no powerful backing behind them. Zhao Ruyue felt a little relieved.
They dared to let her sister pass on the message and reveal their intentions, probably because they wanted to take advantage of the information gap to show that they were very powerful in the provincial capital and bet that she could not find out their secrets.
Unfortunately, those people misjudged Zhao Ruyue and underestimated her and Ning Shaoming.
After checking the other party's information, Zhao Ruyue was not in a hurry to fight back.
The other party hasn't made any move yet, but has exposed themselves voluntarily. Now that they are in the open, Zhao Ruyue plans to make preparations secretly, and pretend that she doesn't know about it on the surface.
I continued to do the finishing work in the warehouse, while pretending to be waiting for the customers' goods to be shipped in and stored.
Taking advantage of this smokescreen, Zhao Ruyue found some time to discuss the online store with Ning Shaoming.
Customers have been urging them to open an online store for a long time, and these customers are not only from the city and provincial capital, but also some out-of-town customers who travel to the town and have eaten at the old store in their town and were attracted by it.
It’s just that Ning Shaoming is very busy and has many concerns in this regard, so he has been putting it off.
Many people asked Zhao Ruyue to urge him, but Zhao Ruyue didn't. She even hoped that Ning Shaoming could have more rest time.
But now the situation is different, they have warehouses, that is, places to store a lot of goods.
They even set aside an area as an operation room to produce bread in large quantities.
Many online stores don’t have storefronts, but as long as there is a place to store the goods, they can start a business. They have their own large warehouse, so even if they don’t rent it out, there are still many things they can do.
I considered renting it out before, just because I thought it wouldn’t be that troublesome to earn the money.
In fact, if they are willing to make the effort, they can use this warehouse as a base and radiate out to the surrounding areas, opening stores in the provincial capital and its surrounding areas. They can make the products here every day and transport them to the stores for sale on the same day.
But they don’t plan to open too many offline stores. First of all, the offline costs are relatively high, and secondly, there is a high probability that someone will cause trouble.
But when it comes to online sales, those people can’t reach that far.
By then, her company's partners will be food raw material companies, packaging companies and express delivery companies.
There are many of these companies and the competition is fierce, so those relatives can't interfere. Even if they know some people from these three companies and want to partner with them to cheat her family, her family can just turn around and cooperate with other companies. There are so many choices.
The express delivery industry has developed well in recent years, much better than in previous years, and the transportation problems they were worried about at the beginning have been almost solved.
Ning Shaoming started thinking about bread with a long shelf life and good taste when a customer asked him to mail bread to him. He tried many kinds and accumulated several kinds.
Now is the right time to open an online store.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming discussed and made a plan.
Instead of opening an online store right away, I created a group on QQ and started trial selling in small batches to old customers.
At the same time, she applied for an online store. At the beginning, the store level was too low and the search ranking was definitely not high. Zhao Ruyue decided to maintain the store first, planning to make it decent, and then spend money on website promotion.
After Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia found out that they were going to set up an online store, they volunteered to help.
The two of them started opening online shops and making money much earlier than their parents, and they had already mastered many things, such as taking photos, editing photos, making detail pages, promotional pages, and putting products on shelves. They were better at it than Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming.
The most important thing is: "We have two crown stores that can be used directly."
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming had known for a long time that they had opened an online store, but neither of them interfered nor visited their store often.
After all, what they make are virtual products, such as translating for others, teaching others to play games, and helping others solve some minor computer problems. They do not need any help or patronage from their parents.
Zhao Ruyue was not surprised at the level of their online store, but she was surprised that they gave the online store to her and Ning Shaoming to use.
"Are you not going to run your small business?"
Both children shook their heads and said, "No."
Zhao Ruyue became a little worried: "Did something happen? Do you need your father and I to help?"
The two children shook their heads again: "No."
Ning Shiqiu explained: "The teacher chose me to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. After I attended the training, I found the Mathematical Olympiad very interesting. I plan to sign up for an Olympiad class next semester to continue to study in depth. In addition, there are other interest classes, so time is not enough. Money can be earned at any time. I don't want to miss the training and competitions in the future. Saw is the same as me, and he has to take care of his family affairs, so he has even less time than me."
Zhao Ruyue's family all knew about Yao Ju's family affairs. They didn't usually talk about it, but they just tried to care about him more.
Recently, Yao Ju came to her house less often than before. Zhao Ruyue was busy with many things and had no time to ask. Now she found out that something happened at his family.
Ning Shixia was too young, and after she had enough pocket money, she was not very interested in making money and usually just played with her brothers.
Since her brothers quit, she didn't want to do it either. She could use the extra time to do things that interested her more.
For example, her interest class on wilderness survival skills.
"The teacher at the Children's Palace said that I can participate in the summer camp this year. I want to spend more time learning more about this and prepare in advance," Ning Shixia said excitedly. "If this summer camp is interesting, I would like to participate in other activities in the future."
After listening to this, Zhao Ruyue understood that the children did not continue to do their small business online because they had new plans for the future.
She felt relieved that nothing had happened.
However, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming did not take the children's things for nothing. In their spare time, they would think about how to compensate the children.
