A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Taking inventory is easier said than done.

The barcode needs to be entered into the computer.

Jiang Zheyuan's computer already has the highest configuration available at the time.

The computer she received at the banquet was lighter than Jiang Zheyuan's. After comparing them, Shao Wanwan decided that her own computer was more convenient, so she transferred all the software she had made to the new computer.

She created her own inventory management software and had her uncle provide her with a data entry scanner. Used in conjunction with a computer, this allowed her to quickly take stock of inventory.

However, this has a drawback: updating the inventory still requires logging into a computer, and the software she wrote is only usable by herself, and sometimes it lags.

She made some improvements, but logging in is still troublesome.

Shao Wanwan was planning to buy software developed by others, such as Kingdee, but if only she knew how to use it, the efficiency would still be very low.

She plans to recruit employees first, and then upgrade the supermarket's software once it's running smoothly.

"Computer input is too slow. Let's start by using the inventory method I learned in the clothing store. It will be easier for the other employees to get started." Shao Moli saw that Shao Wanwan wanted to do both computer input and write in the inventory book, and seemed to wish she had three heads and six arms, so she quickly advised her.

Shao Wanwan checked the time and then glanced at the mountain of goods.

One head and two big.

Starting a business involves a lot of detailed work.

She took a breath and nodded. "That's all we can do for now."

After all, there are very few people who know how to use computers these days. If even becoming a supermarket clerk requires a high school diploma, they simply won't be able to recruit anyone.

Shao Wanwan and Jiang Zheyuan had discussed it and decided that a junior high school education would suffice.

If someone is exceptionally talented, graduating from primary school is acceptable, but they must be literate; otherwise, communication will definitely be an obstacle.

Inventory management is Shao Moli's specialty.

The husband-and-wife shop owner treated employees like thieves. She only felt a little more at ease after getting to know the owners. Otherwise, she would have to do inventory twice a day and reconcile accounts once at noon and once in the evening.

Shao Moli was quick and efficient, leaving Shao Wanwan dazzled.

Seeing that Shao Wanwan seemed to be having trouble understanding, Shao Moli quickly stopped and explained it to her.

"Think of the shelves as coordinates, both horizontally and vertically, and then the goods as points on those coordinates. Use the coordinates to determine their locations. Once you know the locations, you can easily identify the goods inside, including their types and quantities. This makes it much easier to find them later in the notebook," Shao Moli explained earnestly.

“Hmm, impressive. But let’s simplify it a bit more. Your method is suitable for you to remember, but we’ll use the alphabet to categorize things, and then put numbers on the turnover boxes and shelves. That way, we can find them right away. I think that would be much simpler,” Shao Wanwan immediately added.

“Indeed, this will be more useful with more goods,” Shao Moli said after a moment of contemplation.

On the second floor, Shao Wanwan circled out a small area with a drainpipe to use as a storage room.

There are also about four small shelves inside, which can hold some small general merchandise items that don't take up much space.

Therefore, the goods on the shelves and in the turnover boxes need to match, so that they can be found when someone else takes over.

They got right to work, starting to weigh the goods back to back.

Shao Moli bought a lot of things from Guangzhou. After putting them on the shelves, it was clear that they were not inferior products from the local wholesale market. The quality and grade were obvious to the naked eye.

“We need to select a product that is of good quality and class for promotion. We can lower the price a bit, even if we lose a little money, so that everyone feels that the products in our store are both cheap and good. Sister, which one do you think is the best?” Shao Wanwan rubbed her stiff back, looked at the neatly arranged products on the shelf, and asked.

Shao Moli understood what Shao Wanwan meant. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about a kettle? We've sold them before and we're familiar with the supplier. He has some really good quality ones that can last four or five years. After that, every time we see them, we'll think our products are good and cheap."

"I thought you were going to choose one from the categories we already have, but you actually chose one that we don't have." The goods that Shao Moli brought back from Guangzhou can only fill about a third of the shelves at most. She really needs to go to the wholesale market to buy some high-quality general merchandise.

General Manager Qi's business only deals in food, cigarettes, alcohol, and various non-staple foods.

The second floor houses various department stores, selling clothes, shoes, socks, and more.

The quality of these items is obvious at a glance, and even if there are counterfeiters, it is difficult to replicate their quality. Moreover, each student has a different level of spending, so they will definitely need to purchase goods of various grades. Therefore, there is no issue of authenticity. As a result, Shao Wanwan did not insist on purchasing goods from General Manager Qi for her business on the second floor.

The main issue is that the purchase price of big brands is also a bit high, making it a bit difficult for students to afford them.

You still need to go to the wholesale market to choose the right ones.

Once you have a large order volume and sales figures, you can then negotiate directly with the manufacturer.

"Sister, I think your idea is great. We'll lose ten yuan on each thermos during the promotion. If a whole dorm comes to buy, we can also give them an extra ten yuan off coupon for every hundred yuan spent. That way, no matter what, our water bottles will be the cheapest. From now on, whenever they use our water bottles, they'll think of our supermarket. Today, I'll check the displays on the second and first floors first, and then I'll go to the wholesale market to get more stock. Sister Zhao and Sister Sun will keep an eye on the supermarket. Why don't you come with me?" Shao Wanwan earnestly invited.

Shao Moli is serious about everything she does, and she always does more than she says, and she has a lot of ideas.

Shao Wanwan felt that she had a lot to learn from her and always regarded her as a role model.

Shao Wanwan always felt that she had relied heavily on Jiang Zheyuan's help to open her supermarket. After all, she was just a student. Even though she made some money selling phone cards and stationery in the early stages, it would have been difficult for her to develop so rapidly without Jiang Zheyuan's involvement.

However, in the original book, Shao Moli and Jiang Zheyuan were a true power couple.

By the time Shao Moli officially got together with Jiang Zheyuan, she had already achieved some success.

Shao Wanwan has always admired Shao Moli, so now she doesn't feel like she's helping Shao Moli, but rather like she's learning from Shao Moli.

Shao Moli originally planned to clean the dormitory in advance since school was about to start. After all, since Li Jing moved out, everyone in the dormitory had a good relationship. Everyone knew that she was not well off and took good care of her. When they bought clothes, they would go to the shop where she worked.

After hearing what Shao Wanwan said, she thought about it and agreed to go to the wholesale market with her to buy goods.

"Let's organize the product categories that the students mentioned during our market research, and bring them all back tomorrow if the prices are right," Shao Wanwan said, taking out a file folder.

Shao Moli looked through the survey data she had printed out and couldn't help but ask, "How many surveys did you actually conduct?"

Shao Wanwan proudly said, "Better safe than sorry. When I was doing the consumer habit statistics, I asked them to fill it out. I also figured out the categories and prices of the products I buy in the surrounding supermarkets. I went there before the supermarkets opened. If I went now, I would definitely be kicked out."
