Chapter 13 Becoming a boss for the first time
To be honest, Chen Pingsheng himself was the boss for the first time.
I am definitely a little nervous, but more of an expectation.
This large supermarket had almost one to two hundred customers every day before it opened.
It dropped to one hundred a month after opening.
Two months after opening, it was successfully reduced to fifty.
Now, those who can come either don’t want to travel too far, or they don’t understand this store.
I have basically destroyed my reputation in this circle.
Although fruit shops are also a traditional retail industry, the biggest difference from ordinary supermarkets is that fruits cannot be stored for too long.
If the fresh goods that come in are not sold within three days, they become stale.
Not only is this fruit unsaleable, but it also affects customer experience.
After all, if it is said that the fruits sold in such a big store are not fresh, who will be willing to come here?
This also brings great operational difficulties to the fruit shop.
It can be said that the biggest operating cost of a fruit shop, apart from the shop rent, is mainly the loss of fruit.
That is, those that have not been sold by the time and have to be thrown away.
"Old Chen, I looked around. If we want to re-cover this store with fruits, it will cost at least 50,000 yuan."
Fruit is just a mountain of goods for sale. The more full the store is, the more customers will buy it. desire.
They all understand this simple truth.
The key is that it is easy to enter the market with goods worth 50,000 yuan, but difficult to sell them.
According to the current passenger flow, we can sell at most 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a day.
If the turnover is this kind, the losses will not be as big as usual.
So the key is to solve the traffic problem first.
This store is nearly 400 square meters. In addition to a large cold storage, there is also a large office.
Chen Pingsheng, who was the boss for the first time, sat on the sofa inside to brainstorm and called everyone to discuss countermeasures.
“The goods must be fully stocked, otherwise it will be difficult for us to retain people once they come in.”
Chen Pingsheng tapped the tip of his pen and said, "Do you think we can do this? In the next half month, we plan to spend 100,000 yuan to attract traffic at a loss. As for the project to attract traffic, we can mark an event outside, with three apples for one dollar, whichever you choose." . ”
Apple can be said to be the number one fruit.
Every household will buy it, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to use it to attract traffic.
"That's no problem. Let's go to the wholesale market to get the goods. Smaller apples only cost two yuan per catty."
The purchase price is about the same, and it works out for one person. Only a loss of one or two yuan.
Totally acceptable.
"Zhang Tao, you and Liu Jing have been responsible for purchasing goods in the past half month. In addition, we also know some people nearby and ask them to go to the owner group to help promote it."
Chen Pingsheng said: "We not only sell apples at special prices, but also offer other fruits at full cost prices. We must first increase the customer flow."
Everyone divides the work and does what they say.
Zhang Tao and Liu Jing are responsible for purchasing goods. Song Yanxi learns cashiering. From now on, she will be responsible for the financial department.
As for everyone else being responsible for clearing and placing the goods first, this is not difficult.
The main thing is that everyone is familiar with it and can work quickly.
In the afternoon, the first truckload of goods was brought back from the fruit wholesale market.
Song Yanxi looked at her man's busy figure and took some time to take a few photos.
The first picture shows him bending over and moving goods in the car.
The second picture shows him going to the store to guide the placement of goods.
The third picture shows him learning the cashier system from someone at the cashier counter.
As for the last picture, it is the two of them competing with each other in front of the store.
Let’s take a photo of the couple together, and Song Yanxi also captioned it.
“A new beginning in 2013, soaring fruits.”
Just when she sent out a few pictures, Dujuan was the first to reply to her.
"What's going on? Brother Chen opens a supermarket?"
"Yes." Song Yanxi replied with a smile.
Du Juan immediately left a message below, "If you don't notify me about this kind of thing, I will break off our relationship with you."
That's what she said, but she still ran over immediately. Then some classmates responded to her message. She only had a high school degree. The main reason was that she was hooked up and married by Lao Chen right after graduating from high school.
Many of her classmates are now studying in the capital.
There is no comparison among the classmates. Most of them just greet her and wish her good business.
The most exaggerated one is Song’s mother Liu Fen.
She was at a relative's house, and the relatives in this room were sitting together and comparing themselves to each other.
It's like someone's daughter found a manager of a foreign company.
The daughter of so-and-so married a civil servant or something.
Every time she heard this, Liu Fen wanted to bury her head in the ground. Otherwise, her eldest daughter would have married the most unpromising outsider, a street vendor.
There is no hope in this life.
The younger daughter Song Wu, on the other hand, is expected to become a big star in the future after entering an art school.
This made her very embarrassed.
"I said to Liu Fen, why didn't Yanxi come here?"
Visiting relatives during the New Year is the happiest thing only in childhood.
When you grow up and visit relatives, it’s okay if you have a promising future, but if you don’t have a promising future, the yin and yang between relatives will be like snow in June.
It will sting you so much.
"She has something to do and can't come."
"What else can she do? Isn't she just going to sell durian with Xiao Chen? By the way, your family sells durian, why don't you bring two over."< br>
The person who spoke was Liu Fen's cousin, perhaps unintentionally, but when the words came to Liu Fen's ears, they were as unpleasant as they could be.
On pins and needles.
I didn’t even eat, made an excuse and went home.
Her youngest daughter Song Wu is already a senior and will graduate in half a year.
Right now I am busy looking for connections with my classmates to meet such and such a deputy director, such and such a producer, etc.
She is also beautiful, but the entertainment industry is in short supply of beautiful girls.
There are only so many opportunities, why did it fall on her? This is a science.
Some female classmates Song Wu also knew about it and met that kind of famous director.
Even the back door can be opened wide.
You can still get some opportunities more or less.
For example, there is a girl in her class, and everyone scolds her in private.
When I got to the class, I had to fawn over her, but otherwise, the female classmate would really get some good resources in the future.
The starting point is much higher than them.
Liu Fen came back feeling very angry, and she was also unhappy with Song Wu.
"I said Mom, my cousin said Chen Pingsheng, why are you venting your anger on me!"
"Humph, the big one is useless and the small one is troublesome."< br>
Liu Fen sat aside angrily. This meant that Song’s father was not here, otherwise he would have been caught and scolded no matter what.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there.
Song Huamin opened the door and came back with some gifts in his hand.
Liu Fen was stopped by him just as she was about to speak, "It just so happens that you are all there. I have opened a large fruit supermarket in my life and it will open tomorrow. Let's go there and have a look."
"He opens a fruit supermarket?" Liu Fen was stunned, "Why didn't I know."
"With your attitude, what can you know?"
Song Huamin just called them when he came back. Yes, I also picked up two pairs of wine.
"I just called Yanxi. Their supermarket is very big. If I hadn't seen her post on Moments, I wouldn't have known this existed."
I only found out about it from Moments. , is she such a failure as a mother?
She didn't know anything about such a big event at her daughter's house, and she didn't discuss it with them in advance when she wanted to open a supermarket.
It’s just that she insists on having her own way. If it doesn’t work, she has to go over and give her some guidance.
Song Wu reacted quickly. He immediately opened the eldest sister’s circle of friends and exclaimed:
"Is this driven by my sister? It doesn't cost tens or even millions. I'm afraid it won't be able to be driven at all."
Song Wu still has some knowledge. When he heard that it cost tens or millions, Liu Fen's ears went crazy. Standing tall.
