Chapter 404: Just starting a business?
"My parents think that many families in Jiangcun are just starting their business, so it's a good time for me to come and observe and learn!" Jiang Guoan shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly.
"That's right!" An Songyu nodded seriously.
However, Jiang Guoan shook his head and said, "The Jiang Village my parents mentioned is in the early stages of entrepreneurship, but it doesn't include your family!"
"Why is our family not included?" The three siblings An Songyu, who thought they had just embarked on the road of entrepreneurship, asked in unison.
Jiang Guoan looked at the three people with an indescribable expression.
Can't they have a little self-awareness?
Not to mention other things, just look at this big shopping mall in Fengyin Bay, do they have the nerve to say that they have just started their business?
"Then if we don't count as having just started our entrepreneurial phase...what do we count as?" An Songyu blinked slightly before asking seriously.
But this question also stumped Jiang Guoan.
His parents talked a lot about settling down, but they didn’t give a summary of this issue!
But this couldn't stump Jiang Guoan.
He asked seriously, "Why do you think your family is still in the early stages of starting a business?"
The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and An Songxiang was the first to answer: "First of all, we have been in business for less than a year, which is too short!"
After all, even the agency and decoration that the family was involved in first have only been in business for less than a year.
Jiang Guoan naturally knew this.
But he didn't nod.
Because when his parents mentioned this, they were particularly impressed.
"Secondly, our business scope is not very wide, and our business methods are quite single." An Songyu said seriously.
These include several small companies in the family or independent businesses started by the three siblings.
We are all facing this problem nowadays.
But the three brothers and sisters are not in a hurry.
They all felt that compared to development, they had just started their business and had plenty of time to slowly gain a foothold.
But it was the reason given by An Songyu that made Jiang Guoan twitch his lips slightly.
If he hadn't wanted to interrupt the three siblings, the words in his mind would have burst out.
"Moreover, our family has a bit of a small workshop model. We are self-contained in everything, and basically we demand... mainly materials." An Songlin summed up while thinking about something.
But after he said this, Jiang Guoan couldn't hold it in any longer.
He looked directly at the three people and said, "So what are you dissatisfied with about your model?"
"Or do you feel that it is hindering your development?"
"Of course not!" the three siblings answered in unison.
“Isn’t that enough?” Who says that businesses must adopt a cooperative model?
They have the ability to stand on their own, which is better than anything else.
Of course, Jiang Guoan is not very clear about what a truly large enterprise looks like.
But he knew too well what it felt like to be constrained by others.
Thinking of his parents' sighs, he said, "My parents said that your family really had good vision back then."
“The several companies that have been established can all cooperate with each other.”
"Don't look at anything else, just look at the building you built in Fengyin Bay. Isn't it because of your family's companies that you saved a lot of trouble?"
"That's true!" The three siblings looked at each other and had to admit it.
Although due to their qualifications and experience, they still hired other people to build the building.
But because they are all in this business themselves, there are many things they don't have to worry about being cheated due to lack of knowledge.
As for the subsequent decoration and design, you basically don’t need to ask anyone for help.
Even the shop management in the back and so on.
"So... you guys are already developing your own business model, but you're just starting your business?"
"Isn't this too modest?" Jiang Guoan couldn't help but spread his hands.
"Is this called a self-contained model?" An Songyu couldn't help but look at An Songlin and An Songxiang.
Sure enough, I saw disapproval in both of their eyes.
They judge the success of their own business not by the scope of their business, nor by the number of their own workers.
It’s not even based on income.
Instead, it is based on the company's own management system and long-term development direction.
After all, the three siblings are not completely without work experience, and the company management they have seen is extremely mature.
It's not like their family is in the current situation, with several people in the family still supporting it with all their strength.
However, it is obvious that the two sides focus on different things, so it is naturally difficult to reach a consensus.
But this is not something they should argue about.
So An Songyu and the other two simply changed the subject: "So what do you want to learn this time?"
Is it opening a store?
After all, the opening ceremony of the shopping mall is a small matter. The real big thing is whether the shops in the mall can make money.
Jiang Guoan spread his hands slightly. He was actually not very sure about this.
After all, his parents have only asked him to observe more and learn more recently.
As for what to watch and learn specifically... he doesn't quite know yet.
Oh well!
An Songyu and the other two felt quite regretful.
Originally, they were thinking about whether they could learn from the Jiang family and find some learning methods.
Unfortunately, he has no direction for the time being.
Just when the three of them wanted to continue chatting, some people who had finished their work came up.
They asked directly: "Ayu, are you going home tonight?"
An Songyu nodded. The hotel upstairs from their house had not been renovated yet, so they had no place to live for the time being and could only move around.
The person who came up was not surprised, he said directly: "Then let's go back with my parents later!"
"I plan to stay on the island for the next few days."
"I want to go back with you!" Another person outside the door quickly added, "I plan to come early tomorrow morning and bring the goods with me."
"Can you finish it tonight?"
"Of course, I've already made the contact!"
"Why don't I ask too? See if I can get you to bring some over tomorrow?"
Seeing these two people coming to call people, they started discussing among themselves.
An Songlin quickly checked the time and said to the two of them, "Then please inform everyone that we need to go back together and leave in half an hour!"
It's still a two-hour drive back home.
If we don’t leave now, the elderly’s bodies really won’t be able to take it anymore.
So, half an hour later, most of the people who came with Jiangcun and An Songyu went back.
Almost all the rest were those who came early to prepare.
But the atmosphere on the way back was completely different from when we came here.
Occasionally, you can even hear lively discussions in other cars through the open car windows.
"Everyone seems so happy!" An Songxiang leaned against the car window and sighed softly.
"I originally came here with the idea of not making money but gaining experience."
"Today is only the first day and we have such a good start, everyone is naturally happy!" An Jianping also replied with a smile.
