Chapter 160 Career Beginnings

"Is it open now?"

Meng Jiaen looked at the door of the unmanned supermarket with people constantly coming in and out, and couldn't help but say, "Why not hold an opening event, or cut a ribbon or something?"

"Need not."

Zhong Yun is too lazy to do those things.

When he opened the store, he calculated the date and even invited someone from his hometown to check the feng shui, but in the end, things were bound to go wrong.

As he spoke, he entered the store, used his key to open the door of the warehouse next door, pulled out the stock from inside, and added it to the shelves.

He hired a worker, who had already left work. He just received a system notification that the inventory was running out.

There's nothing I can do, business is too good.

The store opened at around 9am, and within less than 12 hours, the turnover has already exceeded 10,000.

The employee he hired today complained to him that there were too many people today and they couldn't add enough goods, and they were so exhausted that smoke was coming out.

Now that the employees are off work, he has to do it himself.

Meng Jiaen watched him stocking the shelves quickly, unable to help at all. She said with some concern, "Why do you have to do it yourself? Can't you wait until the employees come to work tomorrow to stock up?"

Zhong Yun pointed at the customers who were queuing up to pay for their meals and said, "By tomorrow, all the goods will be sold out."

Meng Jiaen disagreed and said, "Customers just want to try something new and join in the fun. Do you think you can have such good business every day?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Zhong Yun quickly added the box of goods to the shelf and turned back into the warehouse.

Seeing that he was not going to leave until the work was done, Meng Jiaen went to help. She soon discovered that this job was not easy. First, she had to see which goods were missing and then go to the warehouse to look for them. If she was not familiar with it, it would take a lot of time.

After a while, I was sweating all over.

Seeing that she looked like a headless fly, Zhong Yun said, "Okay, go sit at the cashier. I'll still do my job."

"I do not want."

Meng Jiaen refused. She wanted to prove that she could help.

Seeing that she insisted, Zhong Yun let her do as she pleased.

Halfway through the work, Huang Zhiyuan called.

"I'm busy... in the store... what store... OK, I'll send you the address."

After he hung up the phone, he told Meng Jiaen the good news, "I got two helpers."

……

Half an hour later, Huang Zhiyuan and Zhang Liling came and asked as soon as they came in, "Is this the store you opened?"

Zhong Yun said, "If someone invests, I am just a store manager."

As she spoke, she threw an apron and skirt over, "Come and help."

"I'm delivering this to your door."

Huang Zhiyuan joked, put on an apron, and observed while working, saying, "Business is good."

“It’s OK.”

Zhong Yun said in his heart, thank you system.

With the addition of these two people, the process became much faster and the cargo was fully filled in less than half an hour.

Zhong Yun called them and said, "Let's go have a midnight snack."

When leaving, Huang Zhiyuan nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "That person has been sitting opposite and seems to be looking at this side. He was there when I came here just now."

Zhong Yun took a look and recognized that it was the owner of the supermarket across the street. He smiled and said, "It's a competitor. He is counting the customer flow of our store. Don't worry about it."

"Oh."

Huang Zhiyuan understood that the man was indeed holding a counter in his hand.

It can be seen that the opening of Zhong Yun's store has affected the other party's business, which is why the other party treats it as a formidable enemy and takes it so seriously.

As soon as they left, the boss sitting on the side of the road looked more and more unhappy. Why were there still people going into the store to buy things at this late hour?
No reason.

He really couldn't understand it. He had been to that unmanned supermarket during the day, and the variety of goods there was not as wide as his, and the prices were not cheap either.

At that time, he concluded that this store posed no threat to him.

Apart from the gimmick of an unmanned supermarket, how is this store comparable to my own store?

First, no cigarettes; second, no private domain; third, no express delivery; fourth, the products are not as complete as our own...

But soon, he found something was wrong.

There were obviously fewer customers today. It was obvious that the customer flow was attracted by the newly opened unmanned supermarket.

By the evening, he was a little restless. So far, today's sales were less than half of the original.

This is an exaggeration.

So he moved a stool and sat opposite the unmanned supermarket, counting the number of customers there, and sat there for several hours.

After counting for a while, he felt disappointed. Isn't the customer flow too high?

"It's okay. We just opened today and everyone is just curious about the new things. It will be fine in a couple of days."

In the end, he could only comfort himself in this way.

……

"Didn't you say before that you would never open a supermarket again in your life?"

A late-night snack stall, Huang Zhiyuan teased.

Zhong Yun emphasized, "This is an unmanned supermarket, it's different."

“It’s just a supermarket.”

Zhang Liling interrupted, "It shouldn't cost too much to invest in a supermarket like this, right?"

"For a store like mine, it's probably around 300,000 or 400,000."

"Do you want to start a business with this?" "Of course, this is the first one. I will open one every month in the future and eventually form a chain."

Zhong Yun was a little excited. Although it was not yet midnight, just looking at the background data, the current turnover was already more than 13,000.

The profit is more than three thousand. After deducting the expenses such as water, electricity and wages, and multiplying it by 0.6, it is about one thousand three or fourteen.

By twelve o'clock in the evening, it would be no problem to reach fifteen hundred.

This means that his guess is correct and he can definitely claim the reward in this way.

Moreover, he can also help others make money in the process. Forty percent of the profit will be given to Su Wan, which is a total of one thousand yuan, which is free money.

This is equivalent to fleecing the system.

In the future, he can completely use this method to help Meng Jiaen and Ruan Xi make money.

Zhong Yun felt that he was really smart.

Of course, opening one store a month was a bit slow, and he would have to find a more profitable project in a few months at most. Otherwise, the supermarket's turnover would swell to an incredible level.

Huang Zhiyuan felt quite relieved when he saw Zhong Yun's excited face.

After Zhong Yun's store went bankrupt and he lost all his money, he was hit hard and became depressed. Now, he has finally regained his fighting spirit.

This is the Zhong Yun I know.

Sure enough, career is the best aphrodisiac for men.

Huang Zhiyuan poured a glass of beer and toasted Zhong Yun.

Then, he talked about the cooperation with Yunwei Group.

Zhong Yun was also happy for him and said, "The tea of ​​your company is actually quite good, but it is not well-known, so there is no market. Now that you can cooperate with Yunwei Group, it will definitely become popular. When the time comes, you can also ask Wen Chao's live broadcast team to help you sell the products."

Huang Zhiyuan slapped his thigh and said, "It's true. To be honest, I have thought about setting up a live broadcast team to sell tea..."

The two men started chatting about business again, talking incessantly.

Meng Jiaen and Zhang Liling had no chance to get a word in, as they were just exchanging their experiences with cosmetics.

……

This time, Zhong Yun didn't drink too much. He had to report to Zhongda University tomorrow, and he kept this in mind. He specially asked Mr. Xia for half a day off.

Meng Jiaen sent him to the gate of the community and asked him, "You really don't need me to take you upstairs?"

"No, I didn't drink much."

After Zhong Yun got off the car, he waved and said, "Go back and go to bed early."

Seeing that his eyes were clear and he really didn't look drunk, Meng Jiaen said, "Then you should go to bed early too. My aunt has invited us to dinner this weekend, and we can't stand her up this time."

"no problem."

Zhong Yun watched her car disappear at the end of the road before turning around and walking towards the community.

Halfway through the walk, the phone rang. It was my mother.

"Ayun, why did you transfer so much money this time?"

The tone on the phone was full of worry.

Zhong Yun said, "Mom, I told you last time that the extra money I make from writing books will increase in the future."

"But this is too much..."

"Why, I make more money, but you're not happy?"

"I feel a little uneasy."

"Mom, don't you know me? I have always been obedient and down-to-earth. I won't take a penny of money that I shouldn't make. Don't worry. By the way, I just opened an unmanned supermarket. Come over with dad someday and take a look at my store."

"You're opening a supermarket again? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could come over and help."

"It's just a small supermarket, not very big, I can handle it by myself."

Zhong Yun used this supermarket to successfully divert his mother's attention.

Old people are like this. They feel uneasy when they say they make money by writing novels, but feel relieved when they say they open a physical store.

Only by doing this kind of visible and tangible legitimate business can we gain their recognition.

Zhong Yun didn't hang up the phone until he returned home.

We agreed to come and see his shop in a couple of days.

Maybe, I was thinking about helping out in his store, but I guess I didn’t even understand what an unmanned supermarket was.

Last month, he transferred 50,000 yuan to his family.

This month it will increase to 70,000.

By next month, it will exceed 100,000.

Without a legitimate explanation for the income, his parents would certainly be even more uneasy.

……

the next morning.

Zhong Yun woke up as usual, washed up, and went downstairs to find Ruan Xi.

She had already packed her things, had two suitcases, and had the windows closed, ready to go out.

Zhong Yun walked in front pushing the two suitcases, and she followed behind with two kettles in her hands, closing the door and locking it.

While waiting for the elevator, he patted her head and said, "You will be a college student in the future. If you can't get used to the dormitory and can't get along with your classmates, you can rent a house outside the school. Don't be afraid to spend money. The key is not to wrong yourself."

"Ah."

Ruan Xi nodded vigorously.

Zhong Yun added, "Of course, it's best to make friends at school. Look at me, I've only been at university for a year, and I've still made some very good friends."

"Ah."

PS: It’s the last day of this month, please give me your monthly vote.
