Chapter 91 Open Three More Stores
Lu Zhao seemed a little obsessed with calling Su Yunqi husband and insisted on forcing him to call him that.
Su Yunqi bit her lips and refused to scream.
It’s not that she is shy or doesn’t want to call him hubby or something. She can call him that under the bed but not in the bed. The more she calls Lu Zhao, the crazier he will get, and by then she really won’t be able to get out of bed.
"You really won't scream? Huh?"
Lu Zhao pried open Su Yunqi's mouth and kissed and bit her.
Finally, Su Yunqi couldn't bear it anymore and hugged Lu Zhao's neck and said softly.
"Husband~~~~"
As expected, after he opened his mouth, it was like an injection of adrenaline, and Lu Zhao became even more ferocious.
In the end, Su Yunqi was so exhausted that he passed out.
Poor little Su Qian drank milk powder again at night, and her delicate mother was catching up on her sleep, so she couldn't feed her with food...
With a car, everything becomes convenient. Lu Zhao can drive to the county town to inspect stores by himself without the trouble of changing cars, which greatly improves efficiency.
And because we bought a used car, we saved a lot of money and the family actually has a lot of savings. So Lu Zhao worked harder and wanted to open a store directly in the city. It happened that they had changed to a new dry goods supplier. The quality of the dry goods was very good and there were more varieties. He imported several new models, and they all sold very well.
"I think we need to open a store quickly and make our brand famous. Otherwise, more and more people are opening stores now, and if we open it too late, I'm afraid our products won't sell well."
Lu Zhao would usually pay attention to see if there were any new stores opening nearby, what kind of stores they were, etc. He found that in the past two years, not only were more and more people setting up stalls, but more and more people were opening shops as well, and things like shop rents were also rising.
It must be because there are so many people wanting to rent that the rent has skyrocketed.
Therefore, Lu Zhao started to think about speeding up the process and opening two more stores.
"Now, we have the money to open a store, but the houses in the city are expensive. We may not have the money to buy a shop and then open a store, unlike in the county town or small town."
Su Yunqi followed Lu Zhao and learned a lot about business by observing and listening.
It is very necessary to build a reputation. For example, in their town now, anyone who wants to buy dry goods will definitely come to their Yunlu Dry Goods Store. They all think that the things they sell here are good and cheap. Even if other people in the town open other dry goods stores, they cannot steal their customers.
The same thing happened in the county. When they first opened the store, they used a lot of tricks, such as parading with discount promotional loudspeakers, promoting the Yunlu Dry Goods Store, etc., so that many people in the county knew about their dry goods store and attracted everyone to buy dry goods.
Now it has become famous in the county and the business is very stable.
"That's fine. We'll rent a store first and open three stores right away. The city is quite large, so if we open three stores at the same time, we can basically cover the busiest places in the city."
"Although the rent of shops has increased a lot now, it is still much cheaper than buying a house. We can open three shops by renting. If we buy a house, we may only be able to open one shop."
Lu Zhao originally wanted to open two stores, but after thinking it over, he decided to take a risk and open three stores. Since they were rented, even if he lost money, he would only lose one year's rent and a few months' labor. He could take back the purchased goods and sell them in the dry goods store in the county town, so he would not lose money at all.
Their dry goods store doesn't need any decoration, just a sign and some containers inside to display things, and the cost is not high.
"Opening three stores at once? Isn't that a bit too aggressive?"
"I remember you said there are dry goods stores in the city, and there are quite a few of them. What if everyone gets used to buying from them? If we open three stores at once, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"
Su Yunqi disagreed a little.
Lu Zhao had always been cautious and prudent before, so why did he suddenly want to open three stores at the same time? It was indeed too risky.
"Don't be reckless. Because there are already some well-known dry goods stores in the city, we should expand our presence and open three stores directly to let customers know that we are capable. If our products were not good, would we open so many stores at the same time?"
"That will also attract some curious customers to come in and buy things."
Lu Zhao tried seriously to persuade Su Yunqi.
They are husband and wife, and before making a decision, Lu Zhao will discuss it with Su Yunqi first, and only do it after getting Su Yunqi's consent.
“That makes sense.”
Su Yunqi touched his little face and nodded thoughtfully.
She put herself in the customer's perspective. If she lived in the city and suddenly found out that three dry goods stores had opened in the city, and knew that they had already opened several dry goods stores in other places, she would definitely think that this store was great and the things it sold were particularly good, which was why so many people bought them and why they were able to open so many stores.
Why would she go to a small store when she can go to a big store?
"Okay, then let's open three stores. You should first find a good location and rent the store."
"I'm at home. I'll take good care of Xiaoyao and Qianqian. Don't worry."
Finding a suitable location to open a store is not an easy task and it is not something that can be decided so quickly. The city is also quite far away, so it’s impossible to keep running back and forth. So let Lu Zhao go there alone to investigate the market and find a place to stay for a few more days.
Su Yunqi stayed at home to take care of the two children, so she could take care of the family and make money at the same time. The couple divided the work reasonably, one responsible for internal affairs and the other for external affairs.
"It can only be like this. Thank you for your hard work, wife."
Lu Zhao held Su Yunqi's fair and tender little face and kissed her hard.
"Once these three stores are open, if they can make stable profits, our family will have more income. Then I will buy a house in the city and we will all move there."
"If you're worried about your parents, you can bring them over to live with you. I can just buy a bigger house."
Lu Zhao promised.
As the business grew bigger and bigger, they couldn't stay in the village forever. It was too inconvenient, so they had to at least move to the city. It is convenient to monitor the business of dry goods stores in the city at any time, and also to expand the business to the provincial capital and other provinces.
However, Su Yunqi is an only child. If she leaves and is too far away, her parents might be worried and reluctant to let her go. So Lu Zhao suggested that he could bring his father-in-law and mother-in-law to live with them, so that they can help take care of the child more conveniently.
Compared to separating, Su's father and mother would probably be more willing to go outside with Su Yunqi and take care of her children.
Su Yunqi understood her parents, but she was worried that Chen Cuilan and her husband would think too much.
"What about mom and dad? Are you taking my parents over, not yours?"
Besides, Chen Cuilan was really good to her, and she would probably be reluctant to leave when she couldn't see Chen Cuilan anymore.
"Then I will buy a bigger house. If they are willing, they can move in with us. But I know my parents. I'm afraid they won't go with us. They are more accustomed to living on their own and staying in the village. They know people there and can raise chickens and farm at home."
