"Third Sister Jiang, I think we can still plan on opening a branch."
When Third Sister Jiang heard this, she burst into laughter.
It seems that the two stores are not worthy of her identity as the person in charge of the city!
With the precedent of the Nancheng store, she knew exactly what to do next. It was nothing more than reserving part-time workers, selecting the best from the best, converting part-time workers into regular workers, training cadres from regular workers, and then seamlessly transferring the talents to the new store.
"Chairman, what do you think we should do about the price increase?" Sister Sang was still very angry about the supplier's expression.
"Go buy it in other cities first. If that doesn't work, go buy it in other provinces. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. The quality is guaranteed!"
Chairman Xiao Xu said confidently, "Give me some time, and we may not have to buy vegetables from others in the future."
In fact, for products like chilled chicken and fresh meat, it is difficult to monopolize the supply if they have a long shelf life, sufficient supply and stable production.
On the contrary, vegetables and fruits have a short shelf life and an even shorter period of maintaining high quality. They suffer great losses during long-distance transportation and are highly restricted by geographical locations, making them very easy to be manipulated by the market.
As a result, it is not difficult to see things like "Suan Ni Hen, Jiang Ni Jun, Ping Shi Mian" happening. The prices of some agricultural products are like a roller coaster, and the difference can even be ten times.
And this is the kingly and domineering style of Boss Sun.
Another identity of his is that he is a leading local vegetable supplier.
At this moment, vegetable suppliers and restaurant owners gathered together, drinking and having fun, while talking about Xu Shang's reaction.
"I heard that Xu Shang went to the next city to buy vegetables... but no one sold them to him!"
"Hahaha, it's our business. If he wants to buy it, he can buy it. But there's no good way for the neighboring province. He doesn't mind bringing it all the way here!"
Everyone laughed.
In fact, considering the size of Tianya Village Food Store, it can be considered a big customer.
But in front of so many bosses in the entire catering industry, it seems not so important... What's more, not everyone is as "willful and reckless" as Xu Shang, and dares to "go against the grain" with the main force.
Boss Sun was quite amazed at Xu Shang's decisive action of running to other provinces to buy vegetables.
This judgment is actually correct.
He originally wanted to keep Xu Shang hanging and have someone negotiate the price with him. He didn't mind lowering the price, raising it by 20% or 30% first, and then slowly cutting the meat with a blunt knife.
If Xu Shang didn't mind working for him to earn money, he wouldn't mind the existence of Tianya Village Food at all.
But the price Xu Shang paid for doing this was obvious.
The transportation of vegetables is very troublesome. Although there is a green channel on the highway, the loss is also very high. Many vegetables have to be transported in refrigerated trucks. The added costs are no cheaper than buying them from him at a higher price.
Xu Shang’s lunch is only six dollars a portion, can he still make money by doing this?
If I had known this earlier, I would not have urged him to raise the price. I would have just charged five yuan per copy. After factoring in rent, water, electricity, and property management fees... he would have lost a lot of money!
…
“A-choo!”
Boss Shen rubbed his nose. He always felt as if someone was talking about him behind his back. However, there were so many people talking about him, and he usually didn't react much... Could it be that someone was laughing at him behind his back?
Today, he and Boss Dong were seeing Xu Shang off because Boss Xu was going back to the countryside.
"Brother, you left just like that! What a pity... I was planning to contact a few big bosses in the neighboring province. They are all masters of Landlord. I have a blood feud with them. I am waiting for you to help me get back my advantage!"
"Next time, next time for sure!"
Chairman Xiao Xu patted his chest and said that he would definitely help Boss Shen’s good friends to quit gambling!
"In fact, they like playing mahjong more... Brother Shen doesn't play mahjong, and I alone am no match for that group of people. Brother Xu, how good are you at mahjong?"
"Not yet...but I think I will be able to do it by next month!"
Boss Dong didn't believe even a single punctuation mark when he said "I can't do it". I remember at the beginning, Boss Shen approached him and said that they wanted to "slaughter the fat sheep" together. This little brother Xu also waved his hands and said that he didn't know how to play cards at all, let alone play Landlord!
Seeing that Boss Xu’s mouth hair had not yet fully grown, Boss Dong naively believed his lies. After all, it was impossible for a young man with such clear eyes to lie!
So, Boss Dong is now——
It’s okay to play cards for fun, how can it be gambling!
Gambling harms others and yourself!
With that spare money, wouldn't it be fun to eat, drink, play and have a good time? Wouldn't it be fun!
Xu Shang said goodbye cordially to the two old brothers he had just met. He wished he could chop off their heads and drink their blood on the spot to become sworn brothers with them. The two old brothers were really nice. Before leaving, they said they would help him look after the store and asked him if he would lose money in business.
Xu Shang certainly wouldn’t lose anything.
Although there is no profit from lunch, thanks to the one-dollar price increase, I didn't lose money. Otherwise, it would be a real problem - a losing business is not a good sign.
Of course, Boss Xu did not include other money-making items, such as snacks with much higher profits; the hot-selling single-item waiter-style drinks; and the Xiao Xu Clay Sculpture offline experience store, which looks inconspicuous but actually makes a fortune and earns more than the restaurant industry.
People are always attracted by the gorgeous appearance and think that gourmet food stores are making a fortune every day. But no one has noticed the clay sculpture stores that are really making a fortune every day.
It seems that many people don’t know that the huge profits from selling glasses can rank among the top three in all industries... Some people see that the eyewear stores are deserted and have few people, and even think that they are unlikely to survive.
