I am reborn as a fashionista

Chapter 24 Fruit and Vegetable Supermarket
In the morning market, the pressure from peers became more obvious.

The old man who sells flowers next to him is gone, and there is an extra fruit vendor in that position.

Smiling and chatting with Zhou Xinglian and Wei Tao, there was no hostility at all, and I had taken some fruits from them before.

"Your fruit is good. The morning market is over. If there are too many, give me some. I'll go to the market to sell."

Look like I am willing to help you bear some of the pressure of the payment, and you can’t find anything wrong with them. In the morning market, there are a lot of vegetables and fruits, and nothing is sold for two. The passenger flow is large enough, and the competition between each other is also normal. In private, they will be criticized as competitors, and they will still greet each other with a smile as if they are friends.

Zhou Xinglian couldn't hold back, the expression was all on her face, Wei Tao didn't care, she was smiling and smoking a cigarette with this fruit vendor who called her mother "big sister" and she was Taozi's equal generation God, maintain a seemingly harmonious relationship.

In terms of price, the other party lowers the price and uses price wars to snatch customers. If he does not have special fruits and vegetables of good quality, he does not mind lowering the price to maintain the rapid circulation of goods and payment, and it is acceptable to make less money.

The angry mother wanted to reason with the other party several times, but was stopped by Wei Tao. At the end of the morning market, he rode a three-wheeled motorcycle and drove slowly on the bicycle lane. Mother rode her original second-hand bicycle and followed to Gan The area behind the corner door of the rest house.

"Why did you bring me here? It's not an intersection. It's definitely not as good as doing a stall here. There are no mobile people." Zhou Xinglian thought her son would bring her to set up a stall here.

The back corner door of the dry rest house, the red brick wall is next to the path, and the branches of trees extend out inside. In summer, some old people nearby will play poker and chess under the wall here.

There is a residential building nearby, which is divided into two areas, inside and outside. Along this small road, there are two family buildings of the Education Bureau and four ordinary residences.

In the area entering the small street, there are six new six-storey buildings on both sides. They were relocated and built four or five years ago. Some are welfare housing for teachers and staff in nearby primary and secondary schools, some are relocation housing, and there are two large-scale houses. commercial housing.

The location here is very good. In Wei Tao's eyes, the only downside is that everyone feels that this place is a bit out of the way - the whole area is not facing the street.

In front of the rest house is the barracks, which is connected to another street. The roads from these buildings to other streets are either the campus or the back walls of some buildings.

A concave gourd-shaped area, originally the innermost part can be passed out, but after the demolition there, a commercial and residential area was built, and people surrounded the entire area to form their own community, which also made this concave area , is no longer through both sides.

On both sides of the street facing the only exit area, one is the courtyard of the radio and television station, and the other is the primary school. After entering, there is no commercial atmosphere for stores on both sides. Occasionally, some vendors who practice stalls will be like Wei Tao's mother and son. There is a stall at the intersection of this small street.

It will be more lively at night, no stalls are allowed on the main street, and it will be very lively at night when you turn around. Some small vendors will earn students' money here, selling ice cream, toys, and everything else.

But in the inner area, it is relatively quiet, and the stores on the small roads are mostly small shops or the like, or some small businesses that do not require so much mobile customers.

For example, home appliance repair shops, food stores, and others such as barbershops and small restaurants are not doing well. Therefore, the stores in this generation’s small streets are generally not recognized as commercial stores, and the prices are not high. , the rent is higher than that of ordinary private houses, and the rent is limited. There are many houses that cannot be rented out. The owner lives by himself, fences off the entrance, and builds a small yard for his own use.

Wei Tao pointed to the location diagonally opposite the back corner door of a cadre rest center, which is far from the main intersection. It is considered to be in the gourd-shaped area, near the middle, and the residents in the front area do not need to walk a few steps. Overall, It can be regarded as the location facing the road in the front residential area, which is not a good location.

The advantage is that it is square enough and big enough, and it is not the first floor of a residential building, but a one-story house built on an open space. It can be used as a warehouse or as a garage. There are eight rooms in a row, three of which are garages. , two are warehouses, one is a book rental shop, and the other is a canteen.

Under the current environment, it is normal for one or two buildings to have two or three small shops. In this area, as far as Wei Tao saw, there were eight small shops covering more than a dozen buildings here. The competition is fierce, and there is no room for a price war. It can only be compared to services and 'supporting facilities'.

There are bright light bulbs at the door of your house at night, and there are some broken chairs and old sofas on the stone pier. In spring, summer and autumn, you can’t stay at home after work. When you come out, you can be regarded as a meeting point, and you can meet neighbors or colleagues you know. Chat, smoke a cigarette and brag, or a few people get together to play poker.

If the small shop can become such a gathering point, then your business will be better. After all, you are wandering around your place every day, and buying something at home will naturally come to you.

At this time, there is no high or low price. Everyone has the same products. The competitiveness is often not in the core area, but in the relationship between you and the surrounding residents.

"Mom, it's 3000 yuan a year. I told the landlord that it's paid every six months. He still takes care of the heating bill. This used to be their garage, but now the house has been sold and people have moved to a high-end community. No one buys this place. I thought about renting it out for a year and earning some income. I talked to him. If I pay for a year for the first time, he will be responsible for advancing the money for us to install the glass door and push the door. When we pay the rent every year, we will pay more. A little money, if we cancel the lease and don't take it away, we will share the cost..."

Wei Tao spoke for a long time, Zhou Xinglian was still a little confused: "What son are you talking about, you want to rent this place? What are you renting for? This is not a major road, and there is no passenger flow, and it is not connected. The residents here come and go, there is no FIT..."

Wei Tao: "Mom, if we can make half of the people here come to our house to buy vegetables, we can make more money than the current stall. Besides, it's getting colder every day. You also went to the farmer's hall. The stall fee It’s not low, and it’s all corners and corners. I really waited until the snow fell, and it was freezing outside to practice stalls. Mom, I’m worried about your health. Besides, it’s cold, and the fruits and vegetables are outside, which consumes more. It’s not good to come here. I can accompany you to the morning market if you miss it. It is warm during the day, and in the house, there are some residents with higher incomes nearby. I sell the wild vegetables that Guan Jinyue grows here, and there are many teachers here. , There are also many employees in public institutions, and there is no shortage of money for food and drink, and I have agreed with Guan Jinyue to go to the countryside to collect some small vegetables grown by myself."

"Mom, think about it. It's winter. These people know that wild vegetables worth a few dollars are green and healthy. At that time, we will have some green leafy vegetables grown by ourselves in fresh greenhouses. The consumer group must not be the working class with low income. They eat potatoes. Mainly cabbage, where can we consume the vegetables we come in? The morning market is not suitable, and it is not suitable if it is a little frozen. Besides, have you ever thought about the fruit, except for those few things in winter? Out-of-season fruits are expensive. After we bought them, I figured out that one-third of the people here will come to our house to buy fruits, which is enough for us to eat. Besides, when the time comes, we will make a phone call. It’s the residents who live on the left and the right. If you make a phone call, if you don’t want to go out in winter, we will deliver it to your door. If there are elderly people who can’t carry it, I will help you to deliver it home..."

He had been thinking for several days how to persuade his mother, and Wei Tao had also thought about it for several days. He knew that the family did not have enough money, and the most difficult thing was to borrow money from relatives, but he was confident that he would pay it back in the shortest possible time. With a single mother here, he has to do his job well first, and it's best to be able to 'fudge' and get confused, otherwise, even if he is a rogue, his mother will have to give up the ice and snow and continue to go to the training booth.

The sensible child speaks earnestly, while the ignorant child plays and rolls around. Even if it is to keep me as a "labor force", the mother will definitely compromise in the end.

Wei Tao understands his mother's character very well. If this is the aunt or the fourth aunt, then it's hard to say. Maybe you will be pissed off, and people will grit their teeth. Your child is not sensible. I will do it myself, and I don't need you.

For my mother, Wei Tao is confident, she has soft ears, as long as I create a beautiful blueprint for her, and then give her a picture, pass it on to her, even if we don't do a good job of renting, we won't lose money' Underpinning confidence', the success rate is very high.

Through the rented bookstore next to him, he saw the size of the house. Along the way, Wei Tao told Zhou Xinglian over and over again about the conflicts between sales factors such as wild vegetables, winter greenhouse vegetables, high-end fruits and the morning market, and the fit here.

Zhou Xinglian agrees with making money from high-end fruits and wild vegetables. The money she earns after selling a few hundred catties of common vegetables is not as good as tens of catties of wild vegetables. She doesn't understand why so many people are willing to spend so much money. Eat this stuff for the price.

"There is not enough money at home." The biggest reason is also the most realistic reason.

Wei Tao took a deep breath: "I'll borrow a little from my aunt and my fourth aunt. Mom, I know it's even worse to borrow money from relatives. If it's enough, even if we buy less at the beginning, I won't borrow money. "

When he and his mother began to carefully calculate how much money the couple had in total, Wei Tao knew he had succeeded, and the next thing was purely about money.

Except for the little fruits and vegetables left, all the change, including those in the current bank card, came to a total of 850 yuan and [-] cents.

Wei Tao didn't calculate and understand it carefully, and didn't take it too seriously. Zhou Xinglian knew the approximate range of this number every day. Now that the specific number came out, she waited to see her son's happy expression, but the result was It was very calm, which made Zhou Xinglian a little bit depressed, and she was still waiting for her son to surprise him when he asked.

For more than two months, excluding expenses, they bought three-wheeled motorcycles, lost money in fights, and bought clothes for the mother and son. Calculated in this way, they earned more than 3000 yuan.The numbers that are calculated almost every day are also Zhou Xinglian's capital to face the "group attack". Recently, he has made less money. It doesn't matter, he still makes money, which is more than working.

"Rent, plaques, interior decoration, the purchase must be less, and more purchase money is needed than usual."

The concept of store operation and morning market operation is different. The latter is small profits but quick turnover. The former Wei Tao is going to follow the concept of high-quality fruits and vegetables. What he provides is service and quality. The flow of goods should be slowed down.

Listening to her son calculating how much money she wanted there, Zhou Xinglian felt very unfulfilled, and after a long time, she murmured: "If you can borrow money, it's better not to borrow money."
