This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 223 Hengyuanhui Supermarket

Facts have proved that Li Chuan guessed wrong again.

Their opportunities are not as many as imagined.

There are hundreds of shops in the commercial area of ​​Meiyang Town, and more than 20 shops are currently seeking to transfer or lease out.

More than 20, the number seems to be quite a lot, but most of them are located on the edge of the commercial area... Most of these places do not have clusters of residential areas, and the flow of people is relatively poor. They do some businesses that do not require a lot of location, such as hardware stores. , scrap yards and the like are okay, but supermarkets, a business that emphasizes the flow of people, are not at all.

Li Chuan and his party split into two groups, walked around the business district, and only found four suitable shops, including the original "Yaya Pet Paradise".

Leaving aside "Yaya Pet Paradise", the other three shops are: "Yipin Malatang", "Hengyuanhui Supermarket", and "Junhai Glasses".

The advantages and disadvantages of these three shops are as follows:

【Yipin Mala Tang】

advantage:

1. The location is very good, in the center of the business district, with a lot of traffic;
2. The facilities and furniture in the store have been dealt with, and now only one store is left for rent, and there is no risk of "overall transfer";

3. The owner of the store has a relatively strong rental intention and is willing to make concessions in some aspects.

Things to note:

1. The area is too small, only 32 square meters... There is no way to open a supermarket, only a small shop;

2. There is a large supermarket less than 100 meters away from the store... Facing the large supermarket, the small store has almost no competitiveness, and the business risk is very high;

3. The rental price of the shop is relatively high... Although the shop owner is willing to make some concessions, he can't make much.

Overview:

Although the external conditions of "Yipin Malatang" are suitable, the overall cost performance is not high, the space is relatively limited, the pressure of competition is too great, and the possibility of business failure is very high.

【Hengyuanhui Supermarket】

advantage:

1. The location is very good. Although it is not in the center of the business district, there are two residential areas and a village around it, and it is on a necessary road. The usual flow of people is not much lower than that in the center of the business district.

2. This was originally a supermarket. The facilities and furniture in the store can be reused; the purchase channels and so on are all ready-made, and the configurations in all aspects are very complete... From this perspective, "overall transfer" It's not a disadvantage, but an advantage... If they take over, they can open the supermarket in a short time.

3. There are no small shops or supermarkets within 300 meters around, so the pressure of competition is relatively small.

Things to note:

1. The store owner's willingness to transfer is not strong enough.

2. The area of ​​the store is too large and the cost is too high.

Remarks:

Hengyuanhui Supermarket is not an ordinary small supermarket. It is one of the only two large-scale supermarkets in Meiyang Town. It is divided into upper and lower floors, with a total area of ​​5662.5 square meters. High popularity... The residents of Meiyang Town have basically gone to Hengyuanhui Supermarket to buy things, including Li Chuan.

Li Chuan primary school was in Meiyang Town. At that time, he would pass by Hengyuanhui Supermarket when he went to school and after school, so he often went shopping.

He still vaguely remembers that Hengyuanhui Supermarket opened when he was in the second or third grade of elementary school. Quite profound.

More than ten years later, Hengyuanhui Supermarket has evolved into a landmark in Meiyang Town.

To be honest, Li Chuan was surprised that such a supermarket would seek to transfer it.

Because in his opinion, Hengyuanhui Supermarket has developed so far and its performance has been very stable. As long as there are no major accidents, it will basically not lose money.

This is a high-quality asset that can make money stably. It's very good. Why transfer it?
Li Chuan had an answer to this question only after communicating with the manager of Hengyuanhui Supermarket.

The owner of Hengyuanhui Supermarket is a middle-aged man in his 50s, whose surname is Zhou, and others call him "Mr. Zhou".

Zhou is always a big boss, and Hengyuanhui Supermarket is only one of his industries. His main business is opening hotels in the city.

Zhou is always from a neighboring town, and made his fortune by opening a restaurant in his early years.

In the autumn of 2008, he bought a large store in Meiyang Town. He originally planned to open a concierge hotel for weddings, but after much thought, he decided to open a supermarket... This is the origin of Hengyuanhui Supermarket.

Although Mr. Zhou opened a supermarket, he did not give up his main business, but continued to cultivate in the hotel industry, and only regarded Hengyuanhui Supermarket as a sideline business.

As time went by, his business grew bigger and bigger. Up to now, the focus of his career has completely shifted to the city, and he himself has settled in the city.

Perhaps because of his age, he didn't want to run around anymore, so he had the idea of ​​cleaning up redundant industries, and Hengyuanhui Supermarket was the focus of it.

Mr. Zhou wants to transfer the Hengyuanhui Supermarket, but it is not a simple transfer. He intends to sell the shop and the supermarket together.

The large store where Hengyuanhui Supermarket is located is not rented, but bought.

In the summer of 2009, Hengyuanhui Supermarket had just opened, and its business was booming. Its income status can even be described as "making money every day".

Seeing this situation, Mr. Zhou felt a little swollen in his heart. With a wave of his hand, he bought the shop directly at a high price.

Now that times have changed, Hengyuanhui Supermarket has experienced the "explosion" stage in the early stage of opening, and its performance has gradually stabilized. His own business has grown bigger and bigger, and he has gradually lost interest in Hengyuanhui Supermarket.

Right now, he wants to clean up redundant industries, but his real idea is to clean them up once and for all to save trouble in the future.

Hengyuanhui Supermarket does not accept separate transfers. If you want to buy it, you can buy it together with the store, otherwise there is no need to talk... This is the clear request of Mr. Zhou, and other plans will not be considered for the time being.

At first glance, this behavior is similar to that of Ms. Lin from "Yaya Pet Paradise", but in fact, the two are completely different.

Compared with Hengyuanhui Supermarket, Yaya Pet Paradise is much smaller in scale and less expensive, but it is essentially a low-quality asset, and generally no one is willing to take over; although Hengyuanhui Supermarket is large in scale and high in cost, its It is a high-quality asset, and it is relatively easy to transfer out.

The urgency of the two is also different.

Yaya Pet Paradise has now closed down. If it is transferred out one day earlier, Ms. Lin can recover some losses. Hengyuanhui Supermarket is different. Although Mr. Zhou also wants to transfer Hengyuanhui Supermarket, he is not in a hurry. Because Hengyuanhui Supermarket is still making money, for a profitable industry, it doesn't matter if it is one day earlier or one day later.

After Li Chuan understood the situation, he left.

Hengyuanhui Supermarket is indeed a high-quality asset, and he was quite moved after seeing it, but its scale is too large to meet his original psychological expectations.

His idea is to open a small supermarket for parents, the kind within [-] square meters.

Small supermarket, small investment, it doesn’t matter if you make money or lose money. Parents don’t have any pressure to operate it, so life can be easier. But if you want to have a large supermarket...it’s second to spend more money, the main thing is for parents In operation, the pressure will be great, and he will not be able to enjoy life for a while, which violates his original intention.

Overview:

Hengyuanhui Supermarket is a high-quality asset, but the initial investment cost is too high, which is not in line with the original plan, so it will not be considered for the time being.

【Junhai Glasses Co., Ltd.】

advantage:

1. Located near Meiyang Town Middle School, it can do "student business"; there is a residential area behind, which can also take care of daily consumption; although it is located on the edge of the commercial area, due to the relationship between Meiyang Town Middle School, ordinary people The traffic is also not bad.

2. The area is very suitable, about 90 square meters, just right for a small supermarket.

3. There are no supermarkets or small shops around, only some stationery stores, and the competition pressure is relatively small.

Things to note:

1. The store has not closed its doors and closed down, and the contents inside have not been cleaned up, so there is a risk of "whole transfer".

2. The rent price of the shop is unknown because the shop owner cannot be contacted.

Remarks:

Junhai Glasses is the shop that makes Li Chuan feel the most pain.

The phone number was clearly marked on the shutter door, but he couldn't get through; the surrounding shops were also closed, so he couldn't find anyone to ask.

Li Chuan and Chen Chen stood in front of the shop, lingered for more than ten minutes, looked and looked in through the window glass, and finally chose to leave helplessly.

Overview:

Junhai Glasses is a good shop, and all aspects of the conditions are in line with their psychological expectations, but "the boss cannot be contacted" is a big problem.

The above is the result of Li Chuan and his party after a busy morning.

They have already completed the tour of the commercial area of ​​Meiyang Town, and found these places, but there is no progress yet.

At noon, they found a restaurant for dinner, during which they made a summary.

After summing it up, they found that they seemed to have only one choice, "Junhai Optical Shop"!
Junhai Glasses is indeed a good place, but what should I do if I can’t contact the boss?
You can't just sit there and wait for a rabbit all day.

Li Chuan thought about this for a while and had an idea in his mind.

After eating, he went to a nearby supermarket, bought a marker pen, and then returned to Junhai Glasses.

He wrote a sentence on the "Jipu Transfer" sign board on the shutter door:

[Li: I want to rent a shop, but I can't get through the phone, you can contact me if you see it, phone: *************]

What Li Chuan left behind was not his own phone number, but his father's.

He is a celebrity now, and things like his phone number cannot be disclosed casually, even if others don't know it's him. Don't be afraid of everything, just in case.

In the afternoon, they planned to go home, but their mother suggested that they could go to the neighboring town again.

The neighboring town is not too far away, if there are suitable shops, it can be considered.

Li Chuan thought about it and agreed.

So, a group of people drove to the neighboring town again.

They wandered around the neighboring town all afternoon, and they finished all the tours. In the end, they only found two more suitable shops, which were even fewer than the town.

Among the two shops, the owner of one shop went away to relatives and could not come back for a while, so they only chatted with the owner of the remaining shop.

It was a good chat, but it didn't settle down in the end.

Because the conditions of the store are average, the rent is not cheap, and most importantly, it is too far away from home.

The commercial area of ​​the neighboring town is divided into two parts. The shop is located in the farthest part, which happens to be at the farthest location, more than ten kilometers away from home... After thinking about it, they thought it might as well be directly in the county town Looking for it, because their home is only about [-] kilometers away from the county seat, and the conditions in the county seat are better and the market is bigger, why not go there?

Ever since, they gave up the shop and decided to go directly to the county seat tomorrow.

The next day, Chen Chen still followed.

A group of four rushed to the county seat.

The commercial area of ​​the county seat is many times larger than that of Meiyang Town, and there are many shops that are currently under transfer or rent out.

They divided into four groups and ran all day without finishing.

In one day, the four of them visited more than 30 shops.

There were too many of them, which caused them to be confused... They looked good, but they were almost useless.

As a result, they collectively fell into a tangle, lost their minds for a while, and didn't know which one to choose.

In fact, there is another key factor in their entanglement, and that is Junhai Optical Co., Ltd.

Although there are many shops in the county, and there are quite a few with suitable conditions, but after all, it is too far away from home, and it is very inconvenient to operate. Based on a comprehensive judgment, the shops of Junhai Optical Co., Ltd. are the best.

They have Junhai Glasses in their hearts, so they have been hesitating and have not made a decision.

However, the boss of Junhai Optical Co., Ltd. seemed to have disappeared. It has been almost two days, but the phone still hasn't come through, and he can't get through either.

Li Chuan saw that it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and he would be leaving in two days, so he felt anxious... So he drove to the town again that night.

He went to the front of the Junhai Glasses store to have a look, the door was still closed, the handwriting on the signboard was still there, but it hadn't been touched.

'What the hell, I'm really convinced! '

Li Chuan cursed secretly, stood there and waited for more than ten minutes, and finally left helplessly.

On the way home, he passed Hengyuanhui Supermarket, glanced sideways, and stopped the car slowly.

'Go buy some gum. '

With a thought, Li Chuan unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car, entered the supermarket, went to the checkout counter, and took the bottle of Yida with him.

When paying, he glanced at the office ahead and found that the door was locked, so he asked, "Where is your manager? Are you off work?"

"get off work."

The female cashier in her 30s nodded and said, "He left at four o'clock in the afternoon. Do you have anything to do with him?"

"It's okay, just ask."

Li Chuan replied, and then asked half-jokingly: "Get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon? Does this count as leaving early?"

"Leave early, he leaves early every day."

"Leave early every day?"

"Ah."

"Can this work?"

"What works, we are all used to it."

"Here...he leaves early every day. If something happens to the supermarket, what will you do?"

"What can happen?"

The female cashier smiled and waved her hands, and said: "Our supermarket has been open for many years, what else can happen... If something happens, we can handle it ourselves, we don't need him."

Li Chuan froze in place when he heard that.

'Yeah, why didn't I think of that before! '

Li Chuan reacted instantly.

Hengyuanhui Supermarket is a high-quality asset. Although the price is high, you can basically buy it without losing money, and it is relatively easy to resell it... Such an asset is still very worth investing in.

Previously, the reason why he was unwilling to buy it was mainly because the scale of Hengyuanhui Supermarket was too large. He was afraid that his parents would not be able to handle it and the pressure would be too great, but he ignored one point, that is, Hengyuanhui Supermarket had already opened. It has been operating for more than ten years, and its performance is quite stable. As long as it operates normally, there will generally be no problems.

Moreover, what Hengyuanhui Supermarket left behind are basically old employees. These old employees are very proficient in business ability, and they can solve problems relatively easily... In this way, he only needs to keep these old employees , can share the pressure for parents to a large extent. After the adaptation period is over, parents may be able to be late and leave early every day, just like the manager, and there will be no internal problems.

Isn't this a great way to enjoy life?

Thinking of this, Li Chuan immediately made up his mind.

'If you don't want to transfer, just buy Hengyuanhui Supermarket! '
