After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

Lin Chengfeng couldn't imagine what kind of store this was.

Nowadays, most shops specialize in one type of product, such as pharmacies, blacksmith shops, and clothing stores...

"How do I write the approval document?" Nowadays, even opening a pharmacy requires registration with the government.

What kind of approval is required for a shop like this?

"Wouldn't it be better if we just get a few more approval documents?"

"Then let's try it in Hehua Town first?" He was still confident that he could get the approval document from the government office in Hehua Town.

Shen Yunwan nodded.

The next day, Lin Chengfeng went to town.

Shen Yunwan found the village head.

She said she wanted to open a shop in town, selling rouge, medicinal herbs, etc.

"This will cost a lot of money." The village head was shocked by the bold idea of ​​the woman in front of him, but he was just shocked.

Even if she said she wanted to open this shop in the capital, he would not doubt it.

"I have money. If I open this shop, the villagers will have more income."

"For example, women who are skilled in embroidery can sell their work in the shop, and there are also those who collect herbs..."

"Although they do go to town to sell these, they can only be mobile vendors, where they are forced to lower their prices and may not be able to sell them at all."

“If the quality and style are good and meet the shop’s requirements, then we can buy it directly.

For products that sell well, we can organize villagers to produce them collectively.”

The village head came to his senses and heard a lot, but he understood one thing clearly: Shen Yunwan wanted to lead the whole village to make money together.

Most of the people in Ping'an Village are hardworking and frugal. They all have some skills, and at the very least, they are good at farming.

When God opens his eyes, there will still be some surplus grain in the fields. If it can be converted into cash, you can go to other towns to buy grain when there is a food shortage next year.

Furthermore, if it is really as Shen Yunwan said, the villagers only need to ensure the quality and she will be responsible for the sales, then the pressure on the villagers will be much less.

Moreover, the opening of a department store would certainly require the hiring of assistants, and the young men in the village would also have work to do. Nowadays, not many people have proper jobs, and most of them live on the small plots of land at home.

After all, there are only a few shops in the entire Lotus Town, and even in the entire county, there are only a few employees.

If Shen Yunwan's shop could really be opened, it would be unique not only in the town but also in the entire county.

But he was still worried...

"So if we give the things to the department store, can we get the money?"

This is what the village head is most worried about.

If you can get money by giving something, who wouldn't want that?

"Li Zheng, I plan to pay half the money after I get the goods. There are too many goods, and I don't have enough cash to pay... But we can sign a contract and pay the full amount after the goods are sold."

I have finalized some details with the village head and will let him talk to the villagers when the time comes.

The villagers are aware of this matter and those who are interested will discuss the next step.

At the same time, Lin Chengfeng also went to the town to find Liu Ze.

"What kind of shop is this???" Liu Ze was also shocked. He had never seen such a shop even in the prosperous capital.

"How much money would that cost? And if the shop has everything, how would the other shops be maintained?"

Liu Zejia was originally a businessman, and he also had a certain understanding of business.

If the other shop owners are forced to have no food to eat, then this shop will not be able to continue operating.

"We also have two options: one is to cooperate with these stores, and the other is to differentiate."

"Tell me in detail."

"For example, if there's a small, unique shop, you can just move your shop in..."

"So, there will still be competition, but it's not as fierce as you think. Besides, there are so many towns and so many people surrounding Lotus Town."

"If the shop becomes successful, Lotus Town will surely become the busiest town. Wouldn't it be a great honor for you as the town governor?"

Liu Ze thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If it really happened, people from other towns would also come.

The town he governs is the richest town. Isn’t that also an achievement?

Even if the company goes bankrupt, the money lost will not be his.

But he was still more optimistic about Lin Chengfeng and his wife, "If you are short of money, you can come to me to join."

Lin Chengfeng did not answer him immediately, but said that he would go home and discuss it with Yun Wan before giving him an answer.

Before leaving, he carefully observed the flow of people in the town, thinking about where would be the best place to open a shop.

……

In the evening, he returned to the familiar yard.

"Dad, you're back." The four little ones rushed forward.

He handed them the meat buns and went into the kitchen with a piece of meat.

Shen Yunwan was chopping beans on the chopping board. The beans in the vegetable garden were growing so fast that they couldn't be eaten all at once.

"Yun Wan, the approval document has come down." As he said that, he handed the document to her and took the knife from her hand.

Chopping the side dishes skillfully.

Then cut the pork belly into slices and cut part of it into cubes.

"Liu Ze had never seen a department store like this before, so he had to list all the products he knew about on the approval document. This way, he wouldn't have to file a record when selling these products in the future."

"You've thought it through so thoroughly." I didn't expect the government office to be so efficient.

The approval can be obtained on the same day.

She just didn't know that this was specially approved by the garrison commander Liu Ze. Normally, it would take half a month.

"I walked around the town. There are already restaurants and inns in the center, and they won't be selling anytime soon. So if we really want to open this shop, we can only do it on the outskirts. There will be fewer people there..."

Lin Chengfeng was a little worried. Renting such a large shop would cost several taels of rent every month, not to mention that he would have to hire a few assistants, and the monthly wages for these people would also be a considerable amount of money.

"Is there anything more marginal? Some distance away from the streets in the town center."

"Farther? Then would anyone go there? They can't just go to the department store."

When ordinary people come to the town market, they don’t just visit one store. They usually visit the main street of the town.

If it were farther and took another quarter of an hour to walk, who would go?

"It's about getting them to go specifically to the department store, preferably away from the main street."

"What are you thinking?"

"As long as they visit our shop, they can meet all their needs, whether it's clothing, food or medicine. Because it's far from the main street, the existing shop owners don't feel that our shop is stealing their business."

Lin Chengfeng paused, "There is one place that used to be an inn, but it lost customers to the inn in the center of the street and went bankrupt. It has not been rented out to this day."

"How big?"

"It's four stories high and the largest store in town."

After meal.

Shen Yunwan was still thinking about the shop.

Seeing Lin Chengfeng calculating the rent, "If we rent this building, it will cost eight taels of silver a month, and we have to renovate the interior, which will cost at least twenty taels of silver. In addition, we have to make some wooden cabinets and the like, which will also cost ten taels of silver.

Adding to that the need to recruit employees and purchase goods, the three hundred taels in hand can only last for a few months. If…"

"How much silver would it cost to buy it?"

Lin Chengfeng was a little surprised, "Buy it?"

"Well, buy it."

"At least three hundred taels." Lin Chengfeng remembered Liu Ze's words. "Liu Ze said he could join if we need him."

"No, I don't want others to control the operation of the store." Shen Yunwan rejected it outright.

"Don't worry about the money, I know what I'm doing."

Since she had this system, she still has hundreds of system coins.

And there are many things she has hoarded in the space.

These can all be taken out and put on the shelves in different categories.

Then purchase some handicrafts and crops from the villagers.

Besides, the circle of wealthy ladies in Beijing already has some understanding of beauty creams and skin-beautifying pills.

When they have used it up, someone will definitely come looking for it.

Even if we buy it, we still have to renovate and recruit people, and it will take a few months to open.

She still has a long time to plan.

To prevent any further complications, Shen Yunwan and Lin Chengfeng came to the town the next day.
