Chapter 145
Kong Guorong's storefront is located opposite a large agricultural and trade market.
Wang Mengmei sat in the car and looked around: "Didn't they say this place was going to be renovated? Why hasn't it been completed yet?"
A few years ago, it was said that the city would build a spice and food city, but after so long, the building has been topped off and it has not been put into use. This agricultural market is next to the food city, and most people are waiting for the food city to be put into use before moving in.
Jian Feng steered the car: "Who knows? Some people say that this place will be incorporated into the Food City in the future, but I don't know how to solve it."
Wang Mengmei: "It's quite far from here."
Before, Jian Feng worked here and didn't think much of it. But now that his family runs a business and Wang Mengmei has bought several houses, he now thinks this place is too far and remote.
It was about seven or eight kilometers away from where they lived.
Jian Feng: "This place is a big market. If it were in the city, it would be scary to see large vehicles coming in and out."
The reason why it is arranged in such a remote place is to facilitate shipment. Five or six kilometers north of the market, you can directly get to the national highway.
Wang Mengmei said through the glass: "The food is cheap."
Wang Mengmei now has a stable customer flow, so she no longer goes out to buy vegetables herself on weekdays. Instead, she finds a few vegetable vendors to deliver them to her store every day.
This kind of long-term and stable customer base does not charge high prices.
But Wang Mengmei saw that the prices in the market here were cheaper than those in her store.
Jian Feng was not surprised: "More than half of the vegetables in the city come from here."
If you come at 4 or 5 in the morning, you can catch the morning market. Things there are cheaper.
In order to save some money, some small restaurant owners in the city come to pick up vegetables early in the morning.
After these vegetables are brought in by large carts, there will often be some unsold vegetables left. After the small business owners agree on the price, they share the food. If the vegetables are rotten, they will peel the outer parts and only keep the inside.
The owner of the vegetable stall also came, picking up cheap and fresh fruits and vegetables to buy.
In addition to the mobile vendors driving large carts, the bungalows here are all occupied by regular vegetable wholesalers.
There is a row of cold storage warehouses behind the market.
Kong Guorong rented a non-refrigerated warehouse here.
After visiting the store, Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei went to the warehouse. There was an employee who had not left the warehouse. When he saw Jian Feng, he hurried to hand over the cigarettes.
"Brother Feng, you're here."
Jian Feng waved his hands: "It's okay, I'll take a look at the warehouse."
The employee quickly opened the warehouse: "It's all here. This is the shipping list. It was checked the day before yesterday. Everything matches. Brother Feng, it's noon now. You and sister-in-law haven't eaten yet, right? How about we eat together?"
Jian Feng responded to the employee's suggestion to build relationships while his eyes quickly scanned the list.
"No, your sister-in-law and I just came to see if there is anything that needs to be renovated. I plan to have a plumber come over in the next two days to take a look and fix all the problems."
The staff was busy leading Jian Feng to look: "Yes, yes, there is a rat hole here. I sealed it with cement before, but it seems to be broken recently. I thought I should buy some rat poison. The light above is also not connected well, but the warehouse is too high and I can't get up there without a shelf. And this corner leaks when it rains..."
Jian Feng wrote them down one by one, and quickly gave a solution: "As for the rat hole, it won't work no matter how hard you try to block it, and rat poison is even more unacceptable. We sell food here, and if a little bit of it falls into something, it will be a big deal. Go see how other people deal with it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask your sister-in-law to bring back a cat and keep it here. I'll find someone to replace the light bulb, and then buy a foldable ladder. As for the water leak, I'll find a professional repairman to take a look. If that doesn't work, I'll empty the warehouse and fix it completely..."
The employees listened to Jian Feng's arrangements without any complaints and were very positive.
"Why bother to go to such trouble, sister-in-law? I can just ask in the market and ask whose cat has just given birth. I'll take one. There are plenty of cats in the market, and most families have them."
Jian Feng nodded, handed him the invoice, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, asked him, "Was your previous salary 150?"
The employee was nervous: "Yes, yes, Boss Kong gave it to me."
After saying this, the employee felt a little regretful.
What's Boss Kong?
That person is not the boss anymore! Besides, how can Jian Feng feel comfortable calling Kong the boss in front of his former employee?
He was feeling upset and was thinking about what to say to make amends.
Jian Feng spoke.
"One hundred and fifty is too low. I think the price in our market is two hundred. You should follow this from now on."
The employee was hit in the face by a sudden pie and was so happy that he forgot everything and shook hands with Jian Feng.
"Boss Jian, I will do my best."
Jian Feng gave a few more instructions before taking his wife out.
Wang Mengmei: "I thought you were going to fire him."
This man was in charge of the warehouse. Jian Feng knew that he was not doing a good job the day he came to take inventory. In Kong Guorong's warehouse, many of the more expensive materials only had good quality in the top half of the bag, and the rest were small and inferior goods.
Jian Feng and Kong Guorong calculated that this part cost about 1,000 yuan.
With such an example in front of him, can Jian Feng still trust him?
Jian Feng: "Let's wait and see."
He came here specially today just to see if this guy would be so tactless as to ask for help even after changing the boss.
He is not the kind of person like Kong Guorong. He will not tolerate any injustice.
Fortunately, this person still knew that the warehouse was much cleaner than the last time he came.
"I just took over, why would I fire him? I have to get through this, and then we can think about the future."
The accounts left by Kong Guorong are too messy. Because of the constant replacement of people and falsification of accounts, the invoices don’t match each other!
After Jian Feng took over, the accountant originally hired by Kong Guorong resigned quickly after the handover.
Jian Feng can only make do with the original people for now.
Wang Mengmei: “That’s right.”
Wang Mengmei looked at her husband. Jian Feng now had some "boss style". But he was not greasy, but more stable.
Jian Feng: "...What are you looking at?"
Wang Mengmei said with a smile: "Boss Jian~"
Jian Feng's ears turned slightly red.
Wang Mengmei turned her head away, having already seen through him in her heart.
Bringing her here to get acquainted with the place actually just means bringing her here to show off.
Men's vanity.
Jian Feng pretended not to understand the teasing in his wife's words: "I plan to return my original warehouse."
Originally he had few goods and had to share a warehouse with others. Now that he has Kong Guorong's warehouse, he can merge the one he rented with it.
It just so happens that a new warehouse manager is needed, as he is still worried about the current one.
The things in his warehouse are all valuable. Not to mention being stolen, even if he is not careful and lets the things get damaged, it will be a huge loss.
Coincidentally, the other warehouse manager is a distant relative of Wang Mengmei, and since both of them are in charge of the warehouse, there is no need to worry about any problems.
This time, in order to buy Kong Guorong's store, Jian Feng took out a loan again.
Wang Mengmei had not yet paid off her 60,000 yuan debt, but suddenly she had another 100,000 yuan in foreign debt.
The couple spent a long time calculating on a calculator that night, but finally decided not to tell anyone.
When it comes to borrowing money, you are already using the favor when you ask for it, let alone such a large sum of money. This debt of favor will be even more difficult to repay in the future.
When asking about bank loans, Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei did some calculations.
Taking one year as an example, Wang Mengmei's store can conservatively earn at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in revenue, and Jian Feng can also earn tens of thousands of yuan.
Jian Feng has now come into contact with many businessmen. He has become bolder and has a longer-term vision.
He tried his best to convince Wang Mengmei.
Some people run their businesses entirely on debt, with full leverage. They now have two storefronts that have appreciated in value, a house, and a car.
These fixed assets are enough for them to take a gamble.
Besides, this isn't much of a bet.
Although Kong Guorong's store went bankrupt, the path he had pioneered is still there. Jian Feng only needs to use his connections to make it work.
Wang Mengmei did not hesitate for too long and finally agreed.
After having been in contact with Lin Hui for a long time, she also became braver.
Lin Hui had told her a long time ago that she had such good skills and should seize the time to expand.
"Time waits for no one. You may think you are steady and reliable, but in fact, once the opportunity is missed, it will never come back."
What era is it now?
It is the best era to do business.
Taocheng is the provincial capital, so the competition is more intense. If you are in the lower counties, as long as you are brave and dare to start, you can make money. Big money depends on luck, but it is easy to get rich with small money.
Lin Hui spoke openly about how she leveraged the funds.
After buying several houses in the capital with full payment, she later felt that full payment was not as good as installment loan. In the past two years, money has become less and less valuable, and prices have been rising every year. Lin Hui felt that it would be better to keep the liquid funds in hand to do business, rather than putting the full payment on the house.
So after the Chinese New Year this year, she bought a property in a big city again, using a loan.
Seeing how daring Lin Hui was, Wang Mengmei couldn't help but want to make the conditions at home better.
If the two storefronts and one house were to be placed in the cotton spinning factory, Wang Mengmei would feel that this was a rare wealthy family around her.
But when it really comes to this, Wang Mengmei will come into contact with more people and lament her previous narrow-mindedness.
Most of Lin Hui's clients are wealthy, ranging from people with hundreds of thousands to small amounts of money.
Wang Mengmei gritted her teeth and took out the loan!
She just couldn't believe that she couldn't pay back the loan!
Jian Feng successfully acquired the store and quickly adjusted his business.
He changed the name of Kong Guorong's grain and oil store to Jian Feng's company name.
Fresh grain oil.
Now the business in the store has been gradually divided. One part is the grain, oil, rice, flour and seasoning business. Jian Feng let Xiao Meng take charge of this part and assigned him a salesperson, asking the salesperson to go out and attract customers while Xiao Meng is in charge of shipping, purchasing and delivery.
Another part is gift boxes, which are mainly made by Xiaoshi. Jian Feng recruited a few eloquent female sales clerks and asked them to follow Xiaoshi to the market and look after the store.
Jian Feng himself was in charge of everything, and the most important thing was to restore the relationship with the original major customers.
All of Kong Guorong's original customers ended their cooperation, so Jian Feng used what he had learned before to rebuild their relationships.
For several days in a row, Jian Feng went out for social events.
Jane Li finally adapted to the fact.
Her father really started a business.
Wang Mengmei is still in charge of the store, but she has obviously become more active recently. Ni Hao is usually the one who cooks, while she goes out to run errands from time to time.
Jian Li: ...
Well, it seems that Ms. Wang Mengmei is also going to be busy.
Wang Mengmei goes out early and comes back late every day. This day, she came back with a piece of news.
"Your aunt Lin Hui is planning to transfer Kong Fei to another school."
