A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her
Chapter 400: Time Grocery Store, Business is Booming
Encouraged by Gu Qinghuan, Zhong Zijun immediately began to prepare for her own small grocery store while she still had time to prepare during the summer vacation.
However, at the suggestion of her daughter, she did not quit her job at school for the time being. She had two plans in place. In case the grocery store business was not good, she would not be without a way out. Two salaries were also very attractive.
Besides, she doesn't have many classes at school, so she should be able to handle the situation temporarily after school starts. If it really doesn't work, she can ask a salesperson for help.
From renting a house to determining the source of goods, purchasing, transportation, and layout, she did it all by herself, with Gu Lanting and Gu Qinghuan coming to help occasionally.
Everything was in place, and the business license for the small grocery store was also issued. Looking at the paper in front of him, Zhong Zijun was extremely excited.
Zhong Zijun's grocery store is located in the middle area of the student dormitory. He rented a small warehouse of nearly 100 square meters, put customized shelves in it, and filled it with a wide range of goods, turning it into the prototype of a small supermarket.
As for the business method, she thought about it for a long time and decided to follow the supermarket management method that Gu Qinghuan had mentioned to her. Of course, the specific operations still had to be combined with actual conditions.
Although it's just a small grocery store, when it gets busy, there will definitely be a lot of people. It would be too much for one person to handle both picking up things and collecting money, and it would be easy to make mistakes.
You will definitely be exhausted after working for a day.
If students are allowed to select the products themselves and then queue up at the door to check out, this can save a lot of manpower. Moreover, as they can select the products themselves, the customer experience will be very good.
Of course, this method of operation will definitely not work if it is placed directly outside. There is no surveillance, and at least a few people must be arranged to watch it.
After all, people's quality varies. When you encounter petty theft or deliberate vandalism, it is difficult to explain yourself.
But fortunately, this grocery store is located in Huaqing University, which gathers the best people in China. After all, the quality of college students is different.
Even if someone wants to do something tricky, everyone will supervise them.
If there really is someone who is having a hard time in life and is willing to take the risk to steal, she will accept it and just consider it as a good deed.
The preliminary preparations are hard work, including the placement, pricing, and price taging of each item, as well as climbing up and down to clean up.
Zhong Zijun was so tired that her whole body was about to fall apart, but she was still happy despite the pain.
Gu Qinghuan also came to help. Things were not as convenient now as in later times, so she wrote and pasted the price tags of all the products by herself.
Gu Lanting transformed himself into a small porter, moving things in and out.
He also named the grocery store.
Zhong Weiqian also supported his daughter's entrepreneurship. He wrote some words and asked someone to carve a sign and send it to her.
Who would have thought that this small grocery store could bring together the strength of so many people.
At the beginning of the new semester, a grocery store named "Time" quietly opened on the campus of Huaqing University.
Zhong Zijun was standing at the cash register at the door and Wang Xiaowei came to help her.
Gu Qinghuan and Gu Lanting distributed flyers everywhere in the school, telling the younger students who came to register that a grocery store had opened in the school and that they could buy high-quality and low-priced daily necessities without having to go out to buy them.
The good looks of the two are obvious to all. People like beautiful things, and this has attracted a lot of attention, achieving the effect of publicity.
And the content of their promotion is also unique.
“In a self-service supermarket, you can pick out the products you want and take them away without waiting. It’s fast and convenient.”
Gu Qinghuan even met some little fans who came to register at school.
"Is that Senior Gu? Wow, I admire you so much."
"Senior Gu, I've bought all your books. They're really well written."
"Senior Gu, I studied psychology because of you. I want to emulate you in the future."
"Senior Gu, is this self-service supermarket owned by your family? I will definitely go and show my support."
...
Gu Qinghuan didn't expect that she already had a star effect in this era. Her face was almost frozen with smiles as she kept responding to the love from her younger classmates.
The publicity effect is maximized.
For a time, many people flocked to the Time Grocery Store.
The goods inside are indeed complete.
As small as toothpaste, toothbrush, a needle, a button, or a pencil.
From bedding and sheets, enamel basins and plastic buckets, to brooms and clotheslines, everything is available.
In the corner were some sample clothes and shoes and socks, which were brought from Lin Xiaomeng.
Zhong Zijun had just started out, so she didn't plan to stock up on stock first. She wanted to purchase goods directly from Lin Xiaomeng, which was equivalent to borrowing her own land and helping her sell the goods. Then the two of them would split the profits and both would make money.
After all, Huaqing’s traffic volume is not to be underestimated.
If someone likes clothes, shoes or socks, they can take them directly if they have a size. If there is no size, they can order the goods from Lin Xiaomeng, which is also very fast.
Lin Xiaomeng has a good eye. These clothes are the most fashionable styles at the moment and are of good quality.
In addition to clothes, there are even bicycles that do not require tickets. These were obtained with the help of Gu Qinghuan.
There is no shortage of wealthy people in Huaqing, and you can often see students riding bicycles in and out.
So this is also a selling point.
All products in the Shiguang Grocery Store are clearly marked with prices. You can make your own selections and pay for them at the same time, which truly enables freedom of purchase and makes you feel comfortable when buying.
Avoided an embarrassing situation.
Sometimes in a supply and marketing cooperative or department store, the salesperson takes goods that you don’t want, and you have no choice but to grit your teeth and accept it, because there are many customers waiting behind you and the salesperson can’t run around for you alone.
Sometimes, if you encounter a salesperson with a bad temper, you may even be scolded.
Shopping in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores is more like begging others. The waiting process is very painful, and you can't choose freely. It's like completing a task, you have to memorize it by rote, and you don't feel happy at all after spending the money.
So everyone started to spread the word, and there were so many people coming to buy things that the Shiguang Grocery Store was almost packed.
The place isn't particularly big.
While Wang Xiaowei was loading the goods, she arranged for everyone to come in in batches, and after buying, they should quickly check out and leave, so that the business could be carried out smoothly.
This is just the beginning of the school year, so there is such a grand occasion. It shouldn’t be so in short supply at other times.
Zhong Zijun stood at the cashier. At the end of the day, her hands and legs were sore from counting money, and she had to restock the shelves again and again.
Even when the stock was sold out, we had to go back to the supplier to get more stock.
