Chapter 180 Let Me Open Your First Store
"Let me supervise you?"
After hearing what Jiang Tian said, Han Jisong was in disbelief.
"I remember your uncle used to help people build houses."
Jiang Tian chuckled: "It's all your fault. You found the land in Nanqiao Village for our family. Now my grandma has bought the land, and my uncles are helping my grandma build a factory, so they don't have time to help me with the decoration."
"Anyway, it's just cabinet making, painting, and putting on the ceiling. It's not a lot of work, but someone needs to go over there every day to check on the progress and keep up the pace. Five dollars a day, so do you want to do it?"
Han Jisong sighed: "Are you worried that I don't have money to build a house, so you sent me some money?"
"No? Besides, don't be too touched. I'm not helping you out of pure kindness. Don't you know that friends of rich people are generally rich people? There are so many opportunities to make money on the side of the provincial road now. Why can't I bring some friends over to make money together?"
"By then, all my friends will have become wealthy people. Even if I run into some problems in my business someday, if only one out of ten of them remembers my kindness and is willing to help me, I can still make a comeback. Do you understand?"
Han Jisong couldn't help but laugh: "Are you so confident in me?"
Jiang Tian looked Han Jisong up and down as if he was looking at pork, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Han Jisong was puzzled by her laughter. He shook his head, but finally agreed.
He really needed money, but he also really wanted to help this girl.
Others celebrated the New Year, ate and drank well, and gained weight. But this girl, it has only been a short time since the New Year, and the little fat she had gained with great difficulty has been lost again due to her busyness.
The older generation always says that people should not work too hard when they are young. If they work too hard, they will hurt their bodies and shorten their lifespan.
Han Jisong hopes that Jiang Tian can live a long life and have many children and grandchildren. It is better to let him do the dirty and tiring work such as decoration supervision.
Besides, looking at the speed at which the Hu family makes money and Jiang Tian's enthusiasm for making money, Han Jisong has no doubt that once he has established a firm foothold on the provincial road, this girl will definitely be richer than him.
Since he will have to eat this bowl of soft rice sooner or later, he might as well get used to it. Who knows, after eating it for a while, Jiang Tian will get used to this bowl of "soft rice" of his?
The two of them joked back and forth for a while, and Jiang Tian changed the subject and talked to Han Jisong about another thing.
"Isn't your house on the provincial highway still built? It just so happens that my grandma and I have discussed that we will slowly develop a number of specialty stores in the future. From the house to the interior decoration, everything will be zongzi-themed. In this way, when the cars passing by the provincial highway see this house, they will know that this is the store that sells Grandma Hu's big meat dumplings."
"We talked to a few companies before the New Year, but their houses were already built and they were not willing to tear down their storefronts and renovate them just to do this business."
"Didn't you say you wanted to be an agent for a designated sales point from me? I thought about it, Han Jisong, why don't you just renovate your storefront to look like our store?"
"In this case, firstly, we will provide a renovation subsidy to the specialty store, so you can spend less money on renovation. Secondly, according to the future development path of our factory, the discounts that the specialty store can get are definitely lower than those at the sales point..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Jisong nodded: "Okay! Then let me open your family's first specialty store."
He believed that Jiang Tian’s arrangement for this specialty store should be more than just a storefront selling rice dumplings.
really……
Hearing that he agreed without hesitation, Jiang Tian happily stood on tiptoe and patted Han on the shoulder.
"Not bad~ No wonder when I first saw you, I felt that you would make a lot of money sooner or later, you really have guts!"
"Let me tell you, this is my plan for this store..."
They invested money and effort to help others open this store, of course not just to sell rice dumplings.
Jiang Tian wants to subtly develop these specialty stores into their franchise stores.
Just like the milk tea shops and fast-moving consumer goods stores in later generations, with unified decoration, unified distribution and pricing, the "Grandma Hu's Big Meat Zongzi" brand can quickly become popular at the lowest cost.
Just think about it, in the future, you will be able to see franchise stores of "Grandma Hu's Big Meat Zongzi" on all the main roads in the province, no matter whether they are provincial roads, national roads, or city main roads. Local people visiting relatives and friends, and outsiders coming to travel locally, will be accustomed to buying souvenirs from their stores. By then, the profit they make will not be just a few cents from each zongzi.
Gift boxes and the like have much higher profits than bulk dumplings.
But their biggest problem now is that they are not famous enough and their status is not high enough. But it doesn’t matter, she was lucky to be reborn in the best era for entrepreneurship.
In China at this time, the concept of "over-packaging" as it exists in later generations did not exist. Even the tea and liquor that were very famous in their province had very simple packaging.
Especially their local soju, which used to be packaged in glass bottles with a printed paper with the brand name on it. It was very simple. I heard that it was only two years ago that the new factory manager insisted on making a paper-shell outer packaging, and many people bought it as a gift.
But the quality of this kind of paper shell is average. Many people will wrap it with several layers of plastic bags and newspapers after buying it, otherwise the paper shell will easily deform.
During this year's Chinese New Year, Jiang Tian took the opportunity to take a good look at the current gift-giving market.
Only then did I realize that it is really not easy to find a decent and high-end gift nowadays.
Isn't this their chance?
"Han Jisong, don't worry. You won't lose money if you open a store with me."
"In the future, we will develop many gift boxes at different price points. They will contain not only our big rice dumplings, but also other famous local specialties in our province, such as liquor, tea, honey, candy, and various fried fruits..."
"In short, when people want to buy gifts in the future, their first choice will definitely not be the supply and marketing cooperative, but our specialty store!"
The most important thing is that, although their "Grandma Hu's Big Meat Zongzi" is not very famous, the other things packed in the same gift box with her zongzi are all well-known local specialties of the province.
To use a cliché from the fan circle, this is called "raising one's status"!
Since it can be packed in a gift box together with other famous local specialties of the province, who will dare to say that their “Grandma Hu’s Big Meat Zongzi” is a fake brand?
After hearing what Jiang Tian said, Han Jisong suddenly felt as if the door to a new world had been opened for him...
In an instant, an idea popped up in my mind.
