This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 283 Renovation of the Supermarket

There is an ancient idiom: "Extreme joy begets sorrow".

Li Chuan proved this very well.

Just now, he was thinking about his parents while breaking the crab, feeling happy, but he was scratched by the crab's clip accidentally.

The crab's pincers were not sharp, and his finger was scratched, but the skin was scratched a little, there was no bleeding, and it didn't hurt, but he felt very unlucky, so he couldn't help but swear: "Damn!"

"what happened?"

Ma Xiaolian looked up and asked, "Pricked by a crab?"

"Draw it."

Li Chuan bit the wound and said, "It's nothing, just a little bit of skin."

"You're so grown up, you're still frizzy after eating." Ma Xiaolian accused with a straight face.

Li Chuan curled his lips slightly, but did not speak.

"You are over there (Hangzhou), can Chen Chen take care of you?" Ma Xiaolian asked again.

"Take care? Take care of what? We don't live together again."

"You don't live together?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You guys..."

"Hey, what are you talking about!"

Li Guangwu interrupted: "They're not married yet, why live together? Don't talk nonsense here."

"What do you know."

Ma Xiaolian immediately retorted: "Nowadays young people are not married, and they all live together. Times have changed, and young people are like this. If you don't believe me, go ask about it."

"Shut up, you."

Li Guangwu accused with dissatisfaction: "What about them is their business, why do you care so much? It seems that you can do it?"

"Hey."

Ma Xiaolian's expression changed instantly, and she said, "What's your attitude?"

"What attitude can I... have?"

Li Guangwu was a little timid, and quickly explained: "I mean, let the children do what they want, let them go, let's be parents, don't worry about it so much."

"Is it possible? Look at him..."

Ma Xiaolian raised her finger to Li Chuan, and said, "I feel frizzy after eating, and I don't have anyone to take care of me, can I do it?"

"Why don't you just rub your skin, what a big deal."

"What you said is easy. He is usually so busy with work. He must not take care of eating, shopping for clothes and so on. There is no one around to take care of him. At that time, he will be exhausted again."

"You think too much, you can't."

"Why not?"

"..."

In a few words, Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian quarreled.

Li Chuan sat on the side, turning a blind eye, eating crabs on his own, without saying a word the whole time.

He was too familiar with the scene in front of him.

Ever since he could remember, Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian had often quarreled, quarreling every day or two, if not, they seemed to be uncomfortable all over.

When he was young, he still felt very annoyed and irritated. When he grew up, he gradually understood: There is no one who does not fight between husband and wife. Fighting is a normal state of life. The affection between husband and wife.

This is the case with Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian. Although they often quarrel, their emotions are relatively restrained. No matter how hard the quarrel is, they will not provoke, insult or expose each other's scars. Therefore, although they quarrel a lot, they have never had a fight Divorced, the two have lived together for more than 20 years, but their relationship has become more and more noisy.

Ever since Li Chuan understood this, he was immune to the quarrel between Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian.

From then on, he was like now, no matter how hard Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian quarreled and talked, he could still pretend not to hear.

This approach allows him to avoid emotional fluctuations to a large extent and keep calm all the time.

However, there are many exceptions.

Li Guangwu quarreled with Ma Xiaolian, and they quarreled fiercely. Sometimes he would be brought in too. Then, he would have no way to keep calm.

The same is true today, after Ma Xiaolian quarreled with Li Guangwu, she turned her finger on Li Chuan again.

"When are you and Chen Chen going to get married?"

'Fuck, why is it on me again. '

Li Chuan was extremely helpless, but facing his mother's questioning gaze, he could only bite the bullet and reply: "Chen Chen hasn't graduated yet, let's talk about it after she graduates."

"After she graduates, will you get married right away?"

"This...it's hard to say. I have no objection. It mainly depends on what she means."

"Chen Chen doesn't want to get married?"

"No."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "She is busy writing her graduation thesis now. This year's pressure is relatively high, and she hasn't thought about it yet."

"Oh."

Ma Xiaolian paused, and then said: "Then after she graduates, you can tell her. If it's okay, your father and I will go to Chen Chen's house to settle things down first. Dowry, engagement, etc. should also be arranged in advance." superior."

"Got it, I'll tell her."

Li Chuan nodded in response, then quickly changed the subject, and said, "By the way, Mom, how is the situation in the supermarket recently? Are you still used to what you do?"

"Is there anything I'm not used to, isn't it just a little thing, and I'm not busy."

"In terms of business, have you encountered any problems?"

"No problem, it's a small matter if there is a problem, and it will be resolved soon."

"Oh, all right."

Li Chuan nodded, and asked again: "How is the business in the supermarket? How much can you sell every day?"

"Same as before, we can sell more than 6 to less than [-] on weekdays, a little higher on weekends and holidays, [-] to [-], and in good times it can reach [-], but the number of times is not much, just twice."

"Oh, the turnover of that month... more than 200 million?"

"Well, almost."

"What is the profit margin?"

"About twenty."

"20%..."

Li Chuan read aloud, and secretly calculated.

If the monthly sales are calculated at 220 million, the 20% profit rate is a profit of 44.

Hengyuanhui Supermarket has 65 employees, and the average salary expenditure of each employee is about 5600 yuan (salary + commission + social security), and the overall calculation is... 36.4 yuan.

Subtract 44 from 36.4, and you're left with... 7.6.

Earning 7.6 per month may seem good, but don't forget that this does not include hidden costs such as utility bills, equipment damage, and product damage.

If invisible expenses are included, Hengyuanhui Supermarket's monthly net profit can reach 5 yuan, which is not bad.

Of course, some people may say that earning [-] a month is fine, which is better than many people.

Indeed, from the perspective of ordinary people, earning 5 yuan a month is indeed not bad.

But Li Chuan is not an ordinary person.

In his opinion, earning [-] yuan a month is really too little, and he may even lose money in the end of this business.

why?
Because before, he bought the supermarket and the shop together. The shop was his own and he didn't need to pay rent, so he had a net profit of "about [-] yuan".

And if you count the rent?

Although Henghuiyuan Supermarket is located in a township, the location is not bad, and the area is very large. The two floors add up to more than 5000 square meters... The monthly rent of this kind of shop must not be less than [-].

That is to say, if the rent is included, Henghuiyuan Supermarket is actually losing money!

'Losing money... can't do it. '

Li Chuan couldn't help frowning.

Although he doesn't expect Henghuiyuan Supermarket to make him much money, he doesn't want to do business that loses money either.

'We must think of a way... we must improve our performance. '

Li Chuan thought secretly, and asked Ma Xiaolian, "Mom, what is the turnover of Jialegou? Have you inquired?"

"I have inquired about it, and it is said that there are 500 million per month, but I don't know if it is true or not."

"Fourty-five million... twice as much as ours."

"Who says it's not, alas~."

Ma Xiaolian sighed, and said in a helpless tone: "There is no way, Hengyuanhui Supermarket has been dilapidated from inside to outside for so many years, and customers are unwilling to come. Jialegou is well decorated and the environment is good. , customers are willing to go there to buy things.”

Li Chuan didn't speak, but nodded secretly.

Mom is right, the environment and decoration of Hengyuanhui Supermarket is indeed a big problem.

Take the only competitor of Hengyuanhui Supermarket——Jialegou Supermarket for comparison.

In terms of historical background, geographical location, area, quantity of goods, services, etc., Hengyuanhui Supermarket is actually better than Jialegou Supermarket. The only thing that Hengyuanhui Supermarket is worse than Jialesco Supermarket is the environment and decoration.

Only by this point, the turnover of the two has doubled the gap, which shows how big its impact is.

'It seems...the decoration and environmental problems of Hengyuanhui Supermarket must be resolved. '

Li Chuan thought to himself.

In fact, they had thought of this question from the very beginning.

During the Chinese New Year, Li Chuan had just bought the Hengyuanhui Supermarket. The three of them, together with Chen Chen, discussed "whether to redecorate and renovate the Hengyuanhui Supermarket".

After discussion, they unanimously agreed to "renovate and renovate Hengyuanhui Supermarket", but they could not act immediately, and it would take a while.

The reason is that they have just taken over Hengyuanhui Supermarket, and they are not familiar with the business and employees of the supermarket. Renovating and decorating rashly may cause chaos inside the supermarket and cause property and employee losses.

With this in mind, they decided to stand still for the time being and let Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian work in Hengyuanhui Supermarket for a while, and then consider the matter of renovation and decoration after they are familiar with everything.

Li Chuan certainly remembered this.

He pondered for a while, and asked, "Dad, Mom, you have been working in the supermarket for more than a month, and you should be familiar with all aspects, right?"

"Ah."

"almost."

"Then the matter of remodeling and decoration can be put on the agenda?"

"This one……"

Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian looked at each other, and finally Ma Xiaolian said: "It's too early to mention this now."

"morning?"

Li Chuan was a little puzzled and said, "Why is it so early? Didn't you just say that you are familiar with it?"

"Familiarity is familiarity, but...we have only been working seriously for a month, and we haven't made much money yet. Now we are decorating..."

"Don't worry about money."

Li Chuan raised his hand and interrupted, "I still have a million in my bank card. I'll transfer 100 million to you tomorrow. Use it first, and tell me if you don't have enough."

"Don't, Ogawa."

Ma Xiaolian quickly stopped her and said, "You can keep the money yourself, don't invest in it anymore, the supermarket can make money, and in a few months, we will be able to make money for the decoration, you don't have to..."

"That's too slow."

Li Chuan interrupted again: "The environmental and decoration problems of Hengyuanhui Supermarket are very serious. If you solve them early, you can earn more money earlier. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"We understand, but..."

"Okay, mom, don't worry about it, let me take care of this matter, let's finish the decoration as soon as possible and hang up the sign of 'Xihe Chenchuan', so that the supermarket can get on the right track as soon as possible, this logic, there is no problem at all No."

"Listen to me."

"What's there to say? Listen to me, it's settled!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, your dad and I will listen to you, but... don't worry, it will take at least two or three months for decoration or something, and there are still a lot of goods in the supermarket, so we have to sell them first , otherwise it will expire by then, and the loss will be huge.”

"Need not."

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "During renovation, the supermarket doesn't have to close."

"what?"

Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian were stunned when they heard the words, and asked in unison: "How do you decorate without closing the door?"

"Layer by layer."

Li Chuan explained: "Isn't Hengyuanhui Supermarket has two floors, and the area is not small... You can install the second floor first, and move the things on the second floor to the first floor for sale. Move things to the second floor to sell, wait for the first floor to be installed, and then put them all back... In this way, although the business of the supermarket will be affected to a certain extent, the loss can be minimized."

Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian looked at each other again when they heard the words, then looked at Li Chuan together, nodded together again, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"..."

After the decoration and renovation were settled, the family of three had finished their meals.

After eating, they cleaned up briefly, then sat on the sofa again and chatted.

What they were talking about was the renovation and renovation of Hengyuanhui Supermarket.

Before, they just set a general direction, but they haven't decided on how to decorate and transform it.

Li Chuan definitely can't participate in this kind of thing in person, and can only leave it to his parents to do it.

He is chatting now, just wanting to express his opinion as clearly as possible to his parents.

He didn't have many opinions, and there were only five points in summary:

1. Expand the area of ​​the fresh food area, at least twice the original size, and at the same time increase the types of fresh food, and list all the common fresh food in the market;

2. To establish a separate aquatic area, the area does not need to be too large, seventy to eighty square meters is enough, and the types do not need to be too many, just a few that are easy to sell;
3. Both fresh and aquatic products adopt a self-operated model, the purpose is to control the quality of goods and increase profit margins;

4. Don’t be afraid to spend money on decoration, try to make it as high-end as possible;

5. The exterior wall needs to be remodeled, so there is no need to paste tiles. Just paint and do some simple decoration. The old windows and doors are all removed and reinstalled.

The above five points are all Li Chuan's opinions on "Hengyuanhui Supermarket Decoration and Renovation Matters".

Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian didn't agree with this at first. They felt that it would cost too much money to do so. They said, "There is no need to pay too much attention to the township, and simply decorate it. As long as it is better than Jialegou, it will be fine."

Li Chuan said no, it must be done according to his wishes.

Under his strong insistence, Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian finally agreed.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when the matter was negotiated.

They stopped chatting and went straight back to the house to sleep.

Li Chuan lay on the most familiar bed, his body was relaxed, and when he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.

This is the most comfortable sleep he has had in a long time.

Two days ago, he was so busy during the day that he had to toss with Yang Mi at night. He was busy until 03:30 in the morning and until dawn.

Today, after finally taking a break, he can just nourish his vitality, so that his body will not fail one day.
