Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 213 Supermarket

Yes, Lu Shaohua did have something to discuss with Lu Jiacheng, and it was a big deal. Since the first batch of lychees were shipped to Shenzhen in 1986, the operation of the fruit shop was all managed by Lu Jiacheng alone, and Lu Jiahui only made some rude remarks and played no role in management at all.

Watching the fruit shop expand from the original one to the current six has undoubtedly brought huge challenges to Lu Jiacheng, but he still manages it in an orderly and easy manner. Of course, there are many factors involved. The first is that the soldiers recruited quickly got into the role and did the work of managing the branches meticulously, which saved Lu Jiacheng a lot of effort. But it cannot be said that Lu Jiacheng’s contribution is not there. Without his initial hard work, there would not be the current stable development.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lu Jiacheng asked.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed first, then got to the point and said, "Fourth Uncle, you should know that I plan to build a large factory in Baoan. Now it is basically on track, so I plan to enter other industries next, and I plan to let you manage this industry."

Lu Jiacheng had heard a long time ago that Lu Shaohua was going to build a large factory in Bao'an. As for who told him that, it was naturally Lu Chang. Don't forget, Lu Chang knew all of Lu Shaohua's actions. When the two brothers had nothing to do, they would sit together and occasionally talk about Lu Shaohua.

Of course, the information Lu Jiacheng got from Lu Chang was limited, and he only knew the general idea. He didn't know anything else. However, in recent days, Lu Jiacheng could clearly hear what Lu Shaohua said on the phone. Especially when he called Chen Guobang, he listened carefully. He was a little confused when Lu Shaohua mentioned either an aircraft carrier or a Desert Eagle, but he gradually understood it. He had only heard of aircraft carriers but had never seen one, and he didn't know about Desert Eagle, but later he asked Li Shangkui and realized that Desert Eagle was actually a gun.

It was not known whether Li Shangkui wanted to show off or for some other reason, but he took out his Desert Eagle in front of Lu Jiacheng, disassembled the gun, and explained to Lu Jiacheng step by step how the gun was constructed.

Lu Jiacheng knew the identities of Li Shangkui and the others, and that they were all there to protect Lu Shaohua's safety, but he was shocked to see that they all had guns. He also knew that the management of guns in China was extremely strict, but now, Lu Shaohua's bodyguards were all equipped with guns, which really scared Lu Jiacheng.

Lu Jiacheng was worried that Lu Shaohua would do something illegal, so he asked Li Shangkui what was going on with the gun. In the end, Li Shangkui had no choice but to show him his gun license. It didn't matter, but it scared Lu Jiacheng again. It was legal to carry a gun. It was actually legal to carry a gun.

Nephew has four legally armed bodyguards? This made Lu Jiacheng have a deeper understanding and guess about Lu Shaohua's identity. People who are allowed to carry guns for protection by the state must be important people. Although this information puzzled Lu Jiacheng, he did not ask Lu Shaohua, as long as Lu Shaohua did not break the law. However, even if he did not ask, this doubt has always taken root in his heart, and his view of Lu Shaohua has also changed. It can be best described in three words: "unclear".

"I heard your uncle say something about Baoan." Lu Jiacheng was not a person who could not keep calm. He had seen everything that Lu Shaohua had done over the years. Even if Lu Shaohua did something outrageous, he would be able to accept it. He changed the topic and spoke frankly. "Xiaohua! Fourth uncle knows that you have a large business outside, but you must act within your means. Once it collapses, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua nodded seriously to show that he knew, but he was laughing in his heart, yes! As a reborn person, Lu Shaohua was still afraid of collapse? Maybe if Lu Jiacheng knew his current wealth, he would not say such a thing, but Lu Shaohua would not tell Lu Jiacheng how much wealth he had, but just said lightly: "Fourth Uncle, don't worry, have you ever seen me fight a battle without confidence?"

"Yes! Has Lu Shaohua ever fought a battle that he was not sure of?" Lu Jiacheng couldn't help but ask himself, and the result was naturally no. He sighed and said. "Okay, I don't want to get involved in your affairs. Tell me what you want to discuss?"

"Let's get to the point." Lu Shaohua sighed, his face straightened, and he said, "I plan to open a chain store in China, and I may want to open branches of this chain store all over the country."

"Nationwide?"

"It's the whole country." Lu Shaohua nodded affirmatively.

"Oh!" Lu Jiacheng said, and rolled his eyes, as if thinking about something. Soon, he returned to his normal state and said, "What does this chain store run?"

"Well! How about this? This chain store is called a supermarket, or simply a supermarket. It mainly sells household goods, general merchandise, food, vegetables, fruits, etc. In a word, anything that people need in their daily lives can be sold." After saying this, Lu Shaohua took a breath and glanced at Lu Jiacheng. Seeing that he seemed to still not understand, he immediately explained. "This supermarket is a bit like the small shop over there, but it sells a lot more kinds of things and is much larger."

Lu Shaohua used the small shops in his hometown to describe it, and Lu Jiacheng could understand it much more easily. Understanding does not mean that there are no questions. Lu Jiacheng still has many small questions to ask Lu Shaohua, but this is not the right time to ask these questions. He is more concerned about whether this industry can be popular in China. According to Lu Shaohua, he wants to open stores all over the country. If it is not popular, it will only be a loss.

"Xiaohua, I don't think it's a good idea to open chain stores all over the country as you said. If you really want to do it, I think we should open one or two in Shenzhen first to try it out. In case we lose money, our loss won't be that big!" Lu Jiacheng said with some doubt.

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua shook his head and smiled bitterly. According to his memory, many foreign supermarket companies will enter China soon. The competition will be very fierce. If we don't take action now and occupy the market first, how can we squeeze them out? "Uncle, don't worry. I guarantee that there will be no loss. Not only will there be no loss, but the profit will be very, very considerable."

As we all know, with the domestic economic development and social progress, consumers in cities are flocking to supermarkets, which are not only convenient but also clean and neat. Moreover, you can buy almost anything you want in a supermarket without running around.

"Oh! Who can see this thing?" Lu Jiacheng sighed.

Business is something that cannot be predicted. Lu Shaohua also understood Lu Jiacheng's idea. His idea was nothing more than to proceed steadily, step by step, expand when things are going well, and withdraw when the situation is not good.

However, judging from the current situation, this is the only way. After all, Lu Shaohua does not have the energy to make supermarkets bloom all over the country at once. He can only expand to the whole country slowly with Shenzhen as the center. As for what Lu Jiacheng meant, "stop when the situation is not good", Lu Shaohua did not think that this situation would happen at all.

"Well, what Fourth Uncle said makes sense." Actually, Lu Shaohua was not wrong just now. It was just that Lu Jiacheng misunderstood and thought that Lu Shaohua was going to expand all at once. But now, whether it was wrong or not explained clearly, the result is the same. "Let's open a few branches in Shenzhen first, and if the situation is good, we can expand slowly."

"I agree with this." Lu Jiacheng had no objection to this, but after thinking about it, a big question mark appeared in his mind and he asked, "Xiaohua, why are you telling me this today?"

Lu Shaohua's first feeling was dizzy. He didn't know why, but he always felt that he was talking without a beginning or an end today. He smiled helplessly and said, "It's like this. I plan to hand over this supermarket to my fourth uncle to manage. Do you think it's okay?"

"Leave it to me?" Lu Jiacheng opened his eyes wide.

"Yes, you are managing five branches easily now, so managing a supermarket should be a piece of cake for you." Although managing five small Xiaoguo branches is very different from managing a large supermarket, it is still the same principle in the final analysis. The top leadership should keep a close eye on things, and leave other matters to the people below. Besides, there is Lu Shaohua, the reborn person, standing behind the scenes. There is nothing to be afraid of.

"No, no. I can manage this small shop, but I can't manage a large supermarket like you said." Lu Jiacheng waved his hand quickly.

Lu Shaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect Lu Jiacheng to have such a big reaction. He said earnestly, "Fourth Uncle, this industry may develop very big in the future. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others to manage. Besides, if I let you manage it, you only need to check the overall situation. Other things can be completely handed over to the people below to handle!"

There was no other way, Lu Shaohua could only play the family card. In Lu Shaohua's heart, Lu Jiacheng would definitely succeed. The result of combining the memories of the previous life with what he saw in this life was that Lu Jiacheng was not as simple as he seemed. Although he only did some small business in his previous life, he seemed to make a lot of money. What did this mean? There was only one thing, that is, his brain was extraordinary.

After hearing Lu Shaohua's last words, Lu Jiacheng's words that he was about to refuse shrank back. "I just need to grasp the overall situation, and leave the rest to the people below. Besides, there is a 'prodigy' nephew." Thinking of this, Lu Jiacheng seemed to have a lot of confidence, and he exhaled and said. "Tell me in detail what is going on with this supermarket, and then I will make a decision."

Lu Shaohua knew that this was a turning point, so he began to tell Lu Jiacheng his understanding of the supermarket and its business model based on his memory, especially in terms of profits, which Lu Shaohua explained in great detail.

Just kidding, things in supermarkets are cheaper than those outside, but why can they make money? The word "kickback" comes first. If a merchant's products want to enter the supermarket, it is inevitable to give "kickbacks", and it is also with this "kickback" that the supermarket can really make big money. Of course, another way to make money is to purchase directly from the factory, and the purchase price is cheaper than others.

Lu Shaohua spoke seriously for more than an hour and finally told Lu Jiacheng the information about the supermarket. During this time, Lu Jiacheng did not interrupt, but listened carefully, absorbing what Lu Shaohua said, and then evolved and understood it in his mind. It was not until Lu Shaohua asked a question that Lu Jiacheng raised his head and looked at Lu Shaohua, only to see that he was staring at him. Lu Jiacheng knew that it was time to make a decision.

After taking a breath, Lu Jiacheng did not give Lu Shaohua an answer so quickly. Instead, he fell into deep thought, considering whether he could succeed and do the job well.

a long time……
