Chapter 453 Ideal and Reality
Liu Ping'an's supermarket has been renovated and all the formalities have been completed. However, there are not many products that can be put on the shelves.
At this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives still ruled the roost. People could basically buy the daily necessities they needed at the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives.
If you can't find it, go to the department store in the city center. In the era of planned economy, these necessities of life had their own operating system.
Although it is time to close it, the status of the supply and marketing cooperatives is still unbreakable. They are an important link between urban and rural material circulation in this era.
Unfortunately, people's hearts gradually began to disperse after that. The team of the supply and marketing cooperative also dispersed. The most regrettable thing was the loss of sales terminals one by one.
If the sales outlets of the supply and marketing cooperatives can be preserved, there will be no need for chain supermarkets and convenience stores in the future.
He contacted some suppliers and added some basic necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil to the store. He also ordered some wine from Xu Huizhen's winery. After adding some miscellaneous items, Liu Ping'an's first supermarket in this era was finally opened.
Xu Huizhen also has his own shares in the winery, which can be regarded as self-production and self-sales. Thanks to the raw wine and recipes provided by Liu Ping'an, Xu Huizhen's winery has been doing well in recent years. However, his own brand has not been established, so he can only make hard-earned money by selling in large quantities. There is no way to make this thing have financial attributes. However, the profit is also considerable.
However, the business in the next few days was really not very good. For a moment, Liu Pingan almost wanted to give up. However, he thought about it and realized that he had nothing to do now, so he persisted.
Since there was not much business, every morning after opening the store, Liu Ping'an would turn on the radio, lie on the recliner at the door, and wait for customers to choose their items and check out, which was quite like a future self-service unmanned supermarket.
Business is not booming now, and Liu Ping'an hasn't hired any employees. He is both an employee and the boss, and he is not very busy.
Only when you really start a business, you will know that not all businesses are profitable. If this house was not his own, and he did not hire any employees, the daily support alone would be enough for him.
His ideal supermarket is like a 5A-level scenic spot, with a constant stream of customers coming to shop every day. However, reality has taught him a hard lesson, making him realize what deserted means.
At noon, Chen Xueru came to her store to see him. However, seeing that business was so bleak and that he didn't need her help, she turned around and went back to her own business.
Before leaving, he consoled me by saying, "If you really can't keep this supermarket going, just turn it into a branch of your own silk shop."
Liu Pingan said indignantly in his heart: "From now on, your silk shop will be a sunset industry. Everyone will shop online in the future. It is economical and cheap. Who would go to the mall to buy clothes offline?"
"If you can't comfort others, don't say anything! Is there anyone who can comfort others as well as you can?"
However, it is too early to say this now. At least my generation does not have to worry about the impact of the Internet on my business.
At the entrance of the warehouse of the rolling mill, Yan Jiecheng finally finished his work this morning. He was lying in a cool place to rest when he suddenly heard someone buzzing behind him.
This instantly sobered up Yan Jiecheng, who was half asleep and half asleep. He sat up straight and hid his body, so as to listen to what his fellow workers in the logistics department were saying about him behind his back.
"Hey, have you heard that our new logistics chief, Zhao, used to work in customs?"
"No, what's the matter? What does this have to do with the fact that he is now our immediate superior?"
"Yes, just do your job well. We still have a truckload of goods to move this afternoon! If you have the time, you might as well find a place to have a good rest and replenish your energy."
Seeing that no one was interested in the news he released, the man said anxiously: "You don't know, this guy made a mistake in the customs before, so he was transferred to our steel rolling mill to avoid the limelight."
"Who would have thought that he would be promoted?"
"Well, he made a mistake, but he was transferred to our steel mill and can still be a leader? It seems that his family has some special connections!"
"Yeah, who can I complain to? It's because she has a good father and was born into a good family."
At this moment, what was being discussed had nothing to do with Yan Jiecheng, but it would soon become relevant.
"Do you know what mistake this Zhao made at the customs that led him to come to our steel mill?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know. However, everyone's interest was aroused. They saw him make a cigarette holding gesture with both hands and put it to his mouth, but he didn't mean to take out a cigarette from his pocket.
Someone in the crowd immediately understood what was going on, took out his cigarette, put it to his lips, and lit it, motioning him to continue.
This is just like the storyteller in the restaurant. When he wants to get free drinks, he pauses at the critical moment. If someone is willing to buy him a pot of wine, he will continue to tell the story. Now, this storyteller uses this routine.
Very common, but useful, isn't it?
In this era without short videos on mobile phones, when people have free time, the way to relax and entertain is still offline socializing. They brag and chat with each other. Some even go so far as to tell dirty jokes. Of course, most people just talk about this.
"You've smoked this cigarette too. Tell me, what mistake did this new Director Zhao make at the customs that brought him here?"
"Humph, this cigarette is not yours, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Alright, alright, stop wasting time and tell everyone!"
"Well, now that the master has spoken, I will talk to you guys."
"Do you know about the shooting incident that caused a lot of controversy in Zhengyangmen a while ago? Five people died overnight."
"Oh, no, why is it linked to the shooting case again? Wasn't that case closed a long time ago? The authorities have also issued a notice. The murderer has already eaten peanuts and reincarnated."
"How is it not related? Do you know where this gun came from? It was lost by our current Director Zhao when he was working at the customs."
