Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Authorization
After listening to her sister and brother-in-law, Zhao Ruyue fell silent.
Even though she had the memories of her previous life, she still couldn't tell whether it would be better for her sister and brother-in-law to do business now, or keep the land and wait for demolition in the future.
No one can predict the future for sure.
"Are you sure you want to sell it?" Zhao Ruyue could only confirm with them again, "Will you regret it if that place is demolished in the future? It's not necessarily a bad thing that the land has not been demolished in the past few years. If it is really demolished in the future, the money you can get may be more than what you get now."
Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao also understood this truth. After all, the prices of all kinds of things are rising year by year. In the past, in the town, you could eat a bowl of rice noodles that was enough to feed an adult and also had meat in it for a few cents.
But only a few years have passed?
The price of rice noodles has doubled, not to mention other things. However, some electronic products that were once relatively expensive and industrial products that can be mass-produced by factories are no longer as expensive as they were in the past when productivity was insufficient and materials were scarce.
Zhao Ruyuan nodded and said seriously, "We are very sure that now we are more eager to exchange the land for money, buy a shop and open a store to do business."
“Sister, you don’t have to worry that we will suffer losses. Isn’t the shop also a fixed asset? In case our business doesn’t do well and we don’t run it anymore, we can rent out the shop and earn some income every month, so we don’t have to be caught off guard if we don’t do well.” This is what Lin Guohao really thought.
That's why he risked being punished by Zhao Ruyuan when he returned home, and changed his statement temporarily, from borrowing money to selling land for money.
Anyway, the land was useless if left there, and it was not cost-effective to build a house and open a store there. So Lin Guohao thought that it would be better to change it to a shop that could be used immediately and solve their predicament.
He also knew that given the relationship between his wife and his second sister, even if he just mortgaged the land to his second sister, she would most likely lend them the money.
But he still wanted to use that piece of land to reduce the risk and ease the pressure of opening a store.
Otherwise, if they just borrow money, the pressure they will face will be too great and the risk of opening a store will be greater.
If the business doesn’t do well and they can’t repay the borrowed money, they will face an even more difficult situation. It is better not to do business with debt from the beginning.
Zhao Ruyue said: "In this case, I will go back and discuss it with my family and give you a reply as soon as possible."
"Thank you, sister!" When they saw Zhao Ruyue's expression and attitude, they knew that she was actually willing to buy it. As long as she was willing, there would be no big problem on her brother-in-law's side, and this matter would most likely be accomplished.
When Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia came over after class, they found that they had woken up too early in the morning and the children who had been taking a nap in the room had also woken up.
Everyone went out shopping together again. Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao were grateful to Zhao Ruyue and didn't know how to repay her, so they treated his children even better.
She bought a lot of clothes, books and delicious food for Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia, and did not let Zhao Ruyue spend any money throughout the process.
After returning, Zhao Ruyue told Ning Shaoming about this matter: "I didn't agree to them right away. I just said I would come back to discuss it with you and ask you to agree. If you don't object, we can take some time to go to the provincial capital to look at the land."
Ning Shaoming said: "Let's go check out the land first. If the land is good, it won't be a big deal if we buy it. Even if we can't use the land in the provincial capital now, we won't lose money in the future."
The worst that can happen is that the timeline will be extended. Anyway, I don’t know where to spend the money I saved for the time being. Sometimes I suddenly realize that money is becoming less and less valuable, and I feel a little anxious, worrying that if I keep the money, the things I can buy now will not be available for me with the same money in the future.
After all, their current savings are earned through hard work in running the store, and they would feel sad if they saw a depreciation.
After the two of them discussed it, Zhao Ruyue made an appointment with Zhao Ruyuan to go and see the land.
Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao were so excited when they received her call that they wished they could take her to see it the next day.
Unfortunately, the distant relative was going to visit Zhao Ruyue's home the next day. Zhao Ruyue had agreed with the relative on a time for the visit, so it would be a shame to let him down.
Ning Shaoming did not go to the store that day. He stayed at home with Zhao Ruyue waiting for customers to come.
Those distant relatives arrived relatively early. Because they were not very familiar with Zhao Ruyue and were worried that they would have no topics to talk about and the situation would be awkward, they specially invited Zhao Hongfa and Chen Fangni to come along.
Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao have not returned home yet. They will not go back until they take Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming to see the land. They came along specially today.
After the greetings, several people sat down in the living room.
Zhao Ruyue was very curious about what these relatives came to see her about, but since they hadn't mentioned the matter yet, Zhao Ruyue would not take the initiative to bring it up.
I can only be patient and chat with them about random things.
They first talked about the older generation of relatives and tried to build up their friendship.
When the atmosphere was right and the topic turned to business, we got to the point.
Several people first praised her family's good business. Their store is quite famous in the county and is also popular among the people in the county.
Especially in the bakery, Ning Shaoming likes cooking, baking and research.
In addition, after I learned how to use the Internet, I met a lot of people who share the same interests online and often exchanged experiences with people in the same industry.
After learning something new, he will not only replicate it, but also draw inferences from it and innovate to create new products of his own.
He now has a separate window in his bakery, which is used to display his new products. Those that are popular with customers will be put on the shelves for a period of time.
If the sales volume is relatively high and remains relatively stable, the product can become a permanent product in the store and then be distributed to another branch.
It can be said that because of Ning Shaoming's love of research and innovation, there are now many products in the store that he innovated and have been tested by the market, and have been preserved and are very popular with customers and are still on sale.
It is just a bakery that is neither big nor small. I can’t say it is very great, but at least when compared with others, it is a shop with its own unique characteristics.
So after the relatives finished praising them, they changed the subject and said, "I think with your abilities, you shouldn't be confined to a small county town. I've heard of your bakery in the provincial capital. I wonder if you've noticed that people from the city and provincial capital drive to your store to buy things."
Zhao Ruyue nodded. She and Ning Shaoming had discovered this a long time ago.
Not only the bakery, but the other two stores also have customers from out of town.
Some people originally came for the bakery, but when they arrived, they found that there was also a shop next door owned by the bakery owner. Out of curiosity, they went in to have a look, and then they thought the food in the restaurant looked good too.
Since we were already here, we might as well have a meal at the restaurant. The meal was so delicious that we packed up some food from the restaurant and took it back together with the bread and cake we bought from next door.
After I got home and satisfied my craving for food, I started to miss it again after a while, and thus I became a repeat customer and would come back every once in a while.
The bakery also greatly boosted the business of Zhao Ruyue's old store.
Because she has a good relationship with Fan Xiaorong, if Fan Xiaorong has any new electronic equipment in Yangcheng, she will definitely get some and send them to her.
Some electronic devices may not be available in other stores in the county or even in the city, but they can be found here.
Over time, many customers have gotten used to it. Whenever they see any new electronic equipment, they will come to her first to ask if she has it.
Originally, only customers from the county came here. But since the bakery attracted customers from other places, her shop was also discovered by customers from other places, and the number of customers from other places increased accordingly.
Some people don't have time to come back after returning to the city or provincial capital. They want to buy new electronic equipment from her as well as things from the bakery, so they simply buy them remotely and ask Zhao Ruyue to help pack and send them over.
Zhao Ruyue already has a business of online shopping and express delivery, and has a partnership with the local post office, so it is very convenient to send things.
However, customers can only call to place their orders each time because they think it is too troublesome to talk over the phone, they cannot choose freely, and they cannot see pictures. Sometimes she is busy and cannot take care of this type of customers.
Many customers are urging them to open an online store, or to form a selling group to make it easier for them to sell things and also for themselves to buy things.
Zhao Ruyue is still considering this matter.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to open one, but considering that the current logistics are not as advanced as they will be in the future, many products in the bakery cannot be shipped.
The bread from Ning Shaoming Bakery does not like to be added with various additives, which means that the shelf life will not be too long. Depending on the season, it can be kept for three to five days at most. And even if the products can be mailed, the taste will definitely not be as good as eating fresh ones in person.
After all, if you open an online store, you will not only have to deal with customers within the province, but also customers from all over the country.
In addition, she is also worried about the problem of lost items, as the current surveillance is not as powerful as it will be in the future.
Zhao Ruyue thought that these relatives had eaten their food and couldn't forget it, so they came to persuade them to open an online store.
Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao have not yet received the money they need to buy the store, and they are very worried that the other party may have a good project and may be here to attract investment.
But this time they all guessed wrong. The other party wanted to obtain store authorization and open a store in the provincial capital under the name of the provincial capital branch of her bakery.
Several distant relatives exaggerated the story.
They said that they were not short of funds, but only of good projects. If they agreed to this, it would not take long before their store could be turned into a chain store and spread across the provincial capital and various counties and cities within the province.
In a few years, it is not impossible for it to develop into a national chain!
These words made Zhao Ruyue's brother, sister-in-law, younger sister and brother-in-law dizzy, and they felt that this business was a good business with great prospects.
I almost joined in and advised Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming to seize this great opportunity to grow bigger and stronger.
But Ning Shaoming couldn't help frowning when he heard others describe the beautiful career blueprint.
His first reaction was that if he agreed, he would be very busy in the future and would not be able to take care of his health, which would make his wife unhappy.
Don't say that he can just focus on developing products and formulas and ignore everything else. He can leave most things to others and just wait for dividends.
It is not that simple to implement in reality. Even if he only focuses on product development, once this work involves more people and things, it will no longer be possible to simply develop products.
It’s his own store, so he has the final say. It doesn’t matter if the new products he makes don’t suit the customers’ tastes. At worst, he can just take them off the shelves and eat them at home or share them with friends and family. Sometimes, there may not even be enough to share.
You can’t be so casual when making products for enterprises. Every product needs to try its best to cater to the preferences of customers. You have to rack your brains to think about what customers like and dislike, and why they like this and dislike that.
If a product launch does not sell well or even fails, it means that not only his own work but also the work of many staff members in various positions behind the scenes will be wasted.
Moreover, these relatives were not personally taught by her wife, Su Shengnan, who is grateful and has good character.
They are just distant relatives with whom they have little affection and with whom they interact less often than with their neighbors. They don't even know what their true character is like.
If an apprentice he taught wants to open his own store, he will support him because he has opened a store himself and he knows how to do it.
But he didn't want to do this with people he didn't know well, in an area he wasn't good at.
Opening authorized chains and franchises seem to be the same as opening a store, but in practice, it is not the case.
After handing over his technology, his store authorization, and his formula, if it really becomes successful as these people say, will they really be willing to keep sharing the profits with him in the future?
After a company becomes big, there are many cases where latecomers sideline the founder or even kick the founder out.
At that time, it will not be a simple matter of selling things in partnership. He and his wife do not understand the capital operation involved and it is easy for them to be cheated. They should not end up losing both stores.
If Ning Shaoming said these words, people might think he was worrying too much, so he didn't say them.
He just politely refused after they finished their exaggerated talk: "I have no plans to authorize stores or allow people to join for the time being."
You could say he has no ambitions, but Ning Shaoming feels that his current life is really pretty good and he is very content.
Those relatives tried to persuade them for a long time, but seeing that Zhao Ruyue and his wife remained unmoved no matter what they said, they left as it was getting late and they had to pick up their children from school, saying they would visit them another day.
Zhao Ruyue had never met such eloquent people. In order to achieve their goals, they were particularly willing to lose face and humble themselves. Even if they were rejected many times, they did not feel embarrassed at all and could still keep persuading people over and over again.
It was fine at first, but later on Zhao Ruyue felt a little annoyed, but she managed to hold it back and didn't show it.
When they left, she didn't go out to see them off in person.
Among the people present, Zhao Hongfa was the one who was most familiar with them, so he stood up and helped to see people out.
Before leaving, those people asked him to help persuade his second sister and brother-in-law.
He sent them to the door and watched their car drive away. He turned back to the living room and heard Chen Fangni and the others saying regretfully, "It's such a pity that you didn't agree to such a good thing."
Zhao Ruyue smiled. Like Ning Shaoming, she didn't think this was a good thing. Instead, she had a subtle feeling that she was being watched.
She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the subject and talked to her sister and brother-in-law about the land in the provincial capital.
