Chapter 82 Thank you for coming to see me.

Yu Lang looked at Tang Jialin, waiting for her to finish.

"You said just now that your father drank poison to quench his thirst—Jixiansheng hasn't made a profit yet, right?"

Yu Lang nodded: "Now all the stores are still in the initial stage of investment."

"In other words, the entire e-commerce business suffered serious losses." Tang Jialin translated by herself.

Yu Lang paused, then nodded: "Yes, but it's all within expectations."

Tang Jialin asked: "When do you expect to start making profits?"

Yu Lang has an inexplicable illusion of facing investors, "The stores in this city are expected to turn losses into profits next year, and the stores in other places will be opened in about one to three years depending on the opening time."

"It's just turning losses into profits, and it doesn't necessarily guarantee how much profits will be made." Tang Jialin said like a most cautious and demanding investor.

"...Yes." Yu Lang had to admit.

"If I were you, I would take this opportunity to throw this hot potato out." Tang Jialin said while observing the changes in his expression, "I know that Jixiansheng means something different to you, just like your own child. You don't want others to say it's bad. .”

"but?"

Tang Jialin: "But you have to face up to its problems. From the beginning of this project, you expected that you will not be able to achieve profitability in the first few years, right?"

Yu Lang nodded.

"Then what is the profit point that you expect, not to mention the forecast, but what is the profit point that your first store can see now? Where did the loss come from before?"

"The main reason is to invest a lot in expanding the scale of users." Tang Jialin used to be in the market and knew all about it. Yu Lang didn't explain much, "As for the profit point, the customer scale of the first store is already at an ideal and stable level. , you only need to do promotional activities normally to maintain user stickiness.”

“But it will still take next year to turn a profit.”

"Yes, the profit margin left now is still too small. In order to ensure freshness, the proportion of discarded goods is relatively high..."

Tang Jialin directly exposed: "Your problems will still exist next year. If you want to increase profit margins, you must increase the price. After the price increase, the number of customers will definitely shrink-to tell you the truth, I, and two people in my store An aunt, a baker, are now your extremely fresh customers."

The beef soup was still a bit salty. She felt thirsty, so she stood up to pour water for herself, and said at the same time: "But we are all sensitive to prices, and we like to buy discounted products. If the vegetables or fruits in your store are obviously cheaper than those in other stores It’s super expensive, so of course we’ll go elsewhere.”

"For example? Which platforms do you choose? You are so busy, you must order online when you buy vegetables and fruits, right?" Yu Lang did a user survey by the way.

"That's too much. There are many food delivery platforms, and now traditional supermarkets also cooperate with online platforms, and you can place orders online. You have to compete for prices, and it is difficult to compete with them."

Tang Jialin looked at the sky completely dark outside, and spoke more directly: "As for the quality, with all due respect, in terms of general vegetables, fruits and meat products, I don't feel that your extremely fresh products are much higher than those of the peers."

Yu Lang couldn't help but argue: "Our main focus is still high-quality seafood, especially imported..."

"But how many customers can there be? Or let me ask you this way. Take you as an example. When you want to eat imported seafood, would you consider buying from this kind of store?" Tang Jialin didn't need Yu Lang to answer this question at all, "You of course not."

Because with the income and living standard of Yu's family, he simply doesn't like the so-called "high-quality seafood" in Jixian Fresh Market.

To put it bluntly, the positioning of Jixiansheng is not high enough or low enough. Tang Jialin was not optimistic about this model from the beginning. After the money was burned, the store would close sooner or later.

Tang Jialin drank a few sips of water, and walked back to the dining table, "You always think that other departments of the group are burdened, and there is a board of directors on top, so they can't fully develop their hands and feet. Now you have the opportunity to stand on your own, isn't it just right?"

Yu Lang frowned, Tang Jialin saw that he seemed a little hesitant, and said: "Of course, this is just my opinion. Giving up Jixiansheng and leaving Mingjian Group means that everything has to start from scratch. It's not that easy, so we should be more cautious. Think about it."

She picked up her phone, "It's getting late, I have to go back."

"I'll see you off." Yu Lang didn't dare to keep her, so he could only follow her to the door, "I just talked about my business, and didn't ask you, how are you doing recently? Is the store busy?"

"Very good, the flow of customers in the store has also stabilized." Tang Jialin walked to the entrance and put on her shoes first.

Yu Lang tried his best to find a topic: "Has Cen Sheng gone to see Cao Xuan again?"

"No." Putting on her shoes, Tang Jialin stood up and put on her coat. "But Dong Kai said that Cen Sheng really asked someone to inquire about him, and I haven't bothered to inquire about him."

"He is also quite strange. If he cares so much, he must like him. He also knows that Cao Xuan has always liked him. How could he make things like this?"

Tang Jialin opened the door back, "Maybe it's because you hurt him. He thinks Cao Xuan is not good enough for him. Let's go."

Reluctant, Yu Lang followed her out the door, watched the elevator come up from the first floor, and waited with her. By the way, he asked the question that had been holding him back for a whole meal: "Did Cao Xuan call you just now?"

"No." Tang Jialin only replied these two words, and then urged him, "Go back."

"Uh," Yu Lang finally saw her, and went back whenever he was willing, trying to find a reason, "I happened to go downstairs for a walk."

Tang Jialin glanced at the open door, Yu Lang stepped back and closed it behind his back.

"..." Tang Jialin glanced at the slippers on his feet again, "Just go for a walk like this?"

The elevator will arrive soon, there is no time to go back and change shoes, Yu Lang nodded stiffly: "Yeah."

Tang Jialin turned on the weather forecast on her phone and showed him: "The real-time temperature is now 8 degrees."

"..." Yu Lang had no choice but to tell the truth, "I'll take you to the parking lot and come back."

The elevator arrived with a ding, Tang Jialin didn't bother to care about him, and went in first.

Yu Lang followed in, but couldn't find anything to say for a while. Seeing that he was approaching the basement floor, he didn't have time to say anything else, so he could only say: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will think about it carefully."

"You can ask a few more people and think about it comprehensively."

He was only wearing home clothes, without a coat, and his shoulders looked much thinner. Tang Jialin finally tried to persuade him: "If you can't figure something out, talk to your friends more. If you are always bored by yourself, you may get into a dead end."

"Okay." Yu Lang felt the meaning of caring and smiled, "Thank you for coming to see me."

"You don't need to thank me for this, just thank Dong Kai."

The elevator door opened, Tang Jialin went out, and the cold wind blew in, Yu Lang shivered, followed up and said, "Thank you for coming."

Tang Jialin walked to the car door, paused, and decided to speak clearly: "I've been thinking a little bit recently. If you can abide by the boundaries between friends, I'm willing to support you as a friend. Goodbye."

 Not 10 minutes after the update, there was a sudden power outage at home. After 11 o'clock, the power was finally restored, and the computer malfunctioned again... So there is only this chapter...
