Volume 1, Chapter 85, the idea of ​​supermarket

The concept of supermarkets is simply too common sense for people on earth. In a super large market, there are almost all the products that can cover all the daily needs of a family. It is comprehensive and convenient. When a person wants to buy something, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the names of supermarkets...at least it was like this before online shopping became popular.

During the inspections in the past few days, Daliang did not find any supermarkets in Saroyang City. Although there are several large-scale markets here, these markets are still composed of independent stores. Some popular and popular things are sold, while some products with less daily needs are difficult to find.

At the same time, because each store is operated separately, it causes repeated investment in the entire sales link costs. The high rent and staff salary of the store, as well as some uncountable losses, all make the price of the goods much more overflowing than the normal price.

Brown has been complaining about the high cost of living in Saroyang City…that is one of the very important reasons.

Therefore, when Daliang was buying the property, he paid special attention to the place where he could open a large supermarket. After repeated searches, he finally found a warehouse that was eager to sell. The plummeting housing prices in the entire Saroyang made Daliang buy this warehouse with an area of ​​up to 3,000 square meters at an unimaginable low price.

When Daliang said that he wanted to open a supermarket, the elf butler Mike listened carefully to what he said.

As a butler, whether it is the Manor of Destiny, the Big Grave, or the villa that Mike once managed, purchasing is always a headache for him, because the villa consumes a lot of supplies every day. Flour, rice, condiments; fabrics, buttons, silk threads; spices, soaps, laundry detergent...

Behind Daliang's comfortable life here are busy housekeepers and maids. Buying things takes up a large part of their time and manpower.

Therefore, when Daliang proposed to open a supermarket and sell all the things that the family can use in daily life together, Mike immediately realized the convenience brought by the supermarket, which is definitely a huge temptation for all families.

But Mike still put forward his own opinions based on his own experience: "Master, I admire your wisdom. You can come up with amazing ideas at any time. But there are some things that I need to remind you...

Among the household daily necessities, some can be stored for a long time, such as tableware, kettle and tea cups. However, some cannot be stored for a long time, such as eggs and meat. At the same time, we also need to consider that some things may break during storage, such as moisture in the flour and worms in the rice.

We can throw away a small amount of broken and deteriorated things. But once we want to open such a large and comprehensive supermarket, there will definitely be huge losses. If we encounter continuous bad weather or other reasons, the goods cannot be sold for a long time, the losses will be even greater.

In addition, not all products can be sold quickly. If there is a large backlog of some products, it will invisibly increase our operating costs."

Mike, a calculating housekeeper, easily grasped some of the disadvantages of the supermarket, which is how to control unnecessary losses. Small shops are easy to manage, the investment costs are not high, and broken things can be thrown away. Things with low sales will be less purchased next time.

The supermarket is different. Once there is too high loss or the circulation speed decreases, it can trigger a serious capital crisis.

Daliang said: "This aspect is easy to do... We build the supermarket well and invite the merchants in. Rent the venue to them, let them display their own goods, manage their own goods... They are responsible for any loss.

We only help them sell it, and we give them one item to sell it.

Supermarkets only care about sales and providing venues, how to save things and stop losses, that is the business of the merchant.”

Mike, who had never seen such a business, was stunned. He turned Daliang's words into his mind three times before he grabbed some clues and asked: "Master, what you mean is... I only provide the venue and do not pay any fees for the purchase of goods. Then I will pay the merchant for the goods after I sell the goods. I can make a difference in the middle without paying a copper coin, and I don't have to pay for the lost goods.

At the same time, can you also charge rent for the merchant’s venue again by renting it?"

What is the difference between wool feeding? It is wool feeding other people's wool. After selling the wool, you have to charge another wool feeding fee.

This is shameless!

Looking at the human child sitting on the sofa and smiling at himself talking about supermarket ideas, Mike felt that he was the most evil demon.

No... He was originally the destruction demon king and the master of hell.

Just like what he used to do... so many strong men were cheated by him and even lost themselves, and he was also an unlucky man who fell under his wrist.

"No, no, no..." Daliang pointed out the mistake in Mike's understanding: "It's not that we don't pay any fees. Didn't I spend money on buying this warehouse? Supermarket managers, security personnel, and sales personnel, we have to pay.

Then there is hygiene, packaging and electricity consumption...all must be recorded in expenses.

Don’t think too simple about opening a supermarket. If you don’t manage well, you will lose money. How to spend the least amount of money to do the most... is your job.

I will leave the supermarket to you, and you can give me a complete plan as soon as possible. If you lack personnel, whether you recruit in Saroyang or directly allocate it from the big grave, I will give you sufficient rights.

If you don't understand anything, please ask me anytime."

Mike, who can manage the big grave, has become clear at this time and has a structure given by Daliang. He only needs to fill in the details.

With sufficient funds and sufficient manpower, the only troublesome thing is how to convince those merchants to bring the sheep and let Young Master Liang pick up the wool.

But Mike was still very confident in himself... For example, the noble lady he met on the train. Not long ago, he met this woman who seemed to have some status in Saroyang again. They had a happy conversation, and the noble lady's family was a little powerful in this city.

Through her, you can contact the upper class of Saroyang City and then meet some businesses.

"Yes, master... I will do a good job of opening a supermarket."

Highlight nodded.

What really tests the manager's ability to coordinate and ensure the smooth flow of every link. He is still very at ease with Mike's ability... he is smart and careful, and his heart is also dark.

The supermarket's idea came to an end for the time being. Looking around, Daliang suddenly found something missing and asked, "Why didn't you see the black pearl?"
