Chapter 114: Guidance
Noon.
Deng Shirong prepared a large table of dishes to entertain his eldest daughter-in-law's family.
Meat dishes include fried squid, fried bee pupae, boiled chicken, boiled duck, braised pork, braised spare ribs, stir-fried eel, and steamed carp.
Vegetarian dishes include mountain water tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and fire tube vegetables.
The soup is sandworm and winter melon soup.
Although there are not many dishes, the portions are generous.
Needless to say, the taste was excellent and everyone was quite satisfied with the meal, especially Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu, who were tasting Deng Shirong's cooking for the first time. They used all the words of praise they could think of.
Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu were so full during this meal! After all, it was the third time for Aunt Zhang Si and Aunt Zhang Xiao to eat the dishes cooked by Deng Shirong. In addition, the two of them had prepared themselves mentally long ago, so they managed to control their mouths and only ate until they were 100% full, not as full as the previous two times.
The same goes for Zhang's mother. As the mother-in-law, she felt very embarrassed for eating too much last time. Of course, she had to control herself this time and also stopped eating when she was 100% full.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Xiuping found an opportunity to get in front of her father-in-law who was smoking, and told him about her elder brother and second brother planning to open a store to sell agricultural products. At the end, she said with a smile: "Dad, my elder brother and second brother have never sold eggs since they were young. They don't know anything about opening a store and doing business. They don't know where to start. You are knowledgeable, so please help them with some advice!"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I can't say I can give you any advice, but it's okay for me to share my views on doing business."
Zhang Xiuping smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
Deng Shirong has a relatively positive attitude towards things like guiding his relatives to make a little money. He has been reborn and is destined to live a rich life in this life. Of course, he also hopes that his relatives and friends around him can live a good life.
Deng Shirong didn't want to see a situation where he was rich but his relatives and friends were poor.
After putting the chimney away, Deng Shirong walked into the living room and said with a smile, "Big brother and big sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, sister Ping said you are planning to open a store to sell agricultural products?"
When they heard Deng Shirong's question, Zhang Shouguo and his wife and Zhang Shoumin and his wife's eyes lit up.
Zhang Shouguo nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Jiu, we don't know anything about this, I hope you can give us some advice."
"I have never opened a store or done business before, so I can only tell you some of the things you need to do to open a store. The rest you have to figure out on your own."
At this point, Deng Shirong told him some common sense about opening a store: "To open a store and do business, first you have to rent a store. Of course, if you have sufficient funds, I suggest you buy the store. The location of the store is best in the prosperous area of Longtan Market.
After settling on a store, go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license for an individual business owner.
You are selling agricultural products, no matter what kind, you must find out its price in the market, and the price in your store must not be higher than the price in the market, otherwise this business will definitely not be able to continue.
After finding out the market price, you can go to the village to purchase the agricultural products you want to sell. You can set the purchase price, which cannot be too high or too low. If the purchase price is too high, you will have no profit, and if the purchase price is too low, people probably won't sell it to you.
So, you have to set a reasonable purchase price.
In addition, the service attitude must be good. You must not learn to sell things like the supply and marketing cooperatives. You must treat customers as your own breadwinners. "
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Shouguo and Mr. and Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Shoumin nodded frequently as they listened. For people like them who had never been involved in buying and selling, these business common sense were like a guiding light, letting them know what to do next.
Finally, Deng Shirong concluded: "This is roughly what I know. If the business is good after the store opens, then we can operate it according to this method. If the business is not good, we can consider improving the quality of service. For example, if the customer buys a lot of things, we can help deliver them to the customer's home.
For example, if customers who buy chickens and ducks need it, we can help them kill the chickens and ducks.
In this way, once your reputation spreads, I believe your business will get better and better."
Hearing this, Zhang Shouguo and his wife, as well as Zhang Shoumin and his wife, couldn't help but get excited.
They really had never thought of such a business method, but they have to admit that this method is really powerful. If they were customers, if they went to buy things and someone could help deliver them to their homes, and if they bought chickens and ducks, someone would be willing to help slaughter them, and provided that the prices were the same, they would definitely choose to buy in this store!
Zhang Shouguo praised him highly: "Uncle Jiu, you are really amazing. After listening to your words, I feel that if I open the store, I will definitely make money."
Zhang Shoumin also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, this way of doing business is amazing as soon as you hear it."
Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao's faces were full of excitement, as if their own shop had already opened and made money.
Originally, brothers Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu were not optimistic about their two nephews opening a shop to do business, but now after listening to what their in-laws said, they vaguely felt that if their two nephews really opened a shop to do business, they might really have a chance to make money.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for Aunt Zhang Si and Aunt Zhang Xiao, they had even more ideas. If their two nephews proved that they could really make money by opening a store, then could they also try to open a store? Anyway, according to what their in-laws said, opening a store didn't seem to be that difficult.
Deng Yuntai, who had been listening, added: "Whether it's buying agricultural products in the village or delivering goods to customers, you can't just walk. You have to buy a bicycle. It would be more convenient if you have two bicycles."
After these words were spoken, the Zhang family finally calmed down.
Zhang Shouguo frowned and said, "Uncle Jiu said it would be best to buy the store. It will cost a lot of money to buy goods. If we buy one or two more bicycles, the investment in opening a store will really be a lot of money!"
Deng Shirong said: "Money is not a problem. In order to support us farmers to start our own businesses, the country has introduced many policies to help us. If you want money, you can go directly to the credit union to borrow money, and you don't even have to pay interest.
Of course, if you don’t want to invest so much, you can rent a store first, and you don’t have to rush to buy bicycles. Just run the business for a while. As long as the products sold in your store are reasonably priced and the service attitude is good enough, even if the service is not as thoughtful as I just mentioned, the business should not be bad.”
He had no intention of lending money directly to the other party. It was okay to help out with some ideas, but it would be even worse if he contributed both money and effort. Even his own sister hadn't helped, and even if it was their turn, it wasn't yet the turn of his eldest daughter-in-law's family.
When they heard the word "loan", the faces of the Zhang family members changed slightly.
As I said, in this era, people in rural areas think that taking out loans is a shameful thing, and they will not think of going to the bank for a loan unless it is absolutely necessary.
