Magic Underachiever

The concept of supermarkets is simply too common sense for earthlings. In a super-large market, there are commodities that can almost cover all the daily needs of a family. Comprehensive and convenient, when a person wants to buy something, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the name of a supermarket... at least before online shopping became popular.

During the investigation in the past few days, Daliang did not find any supermarkets in Saroyang City. Although there are several large markets here, these markets are still composed of independent stores. Some popular and hot-selling things are sold by everyone, while some commodities with less daily demand are difficult to find.

At the same time, because each store is operated separately, it causes repeated investment in the cost of the entire sales link. The high rent and staff salaries of the stores, as well as some uncountable losses, make the selling price of the goods much higher than the normal price.

Brown has been complaining about the high cost of living in Saroyang City... This is one of the very important reasons.

Therefore, when Daliang acquired real estate, he paid special attention to places where large supermarkets could be opened. After repeated searches, he finally found a warehouse that was eager to sell. The plummeting housing prices throughout Saroyang allowed Daliang to buy this warehouse with an area of ​​up to 10,000 square meters at an unimaginably low price.

When Daliang said that he wanted to open a supermarket, the elf butler Mike listened carefully to what he said.

As a butler, whether it was the Destiny Manor, the Great Tomb, or the current villa that Mike had managed before. Procurement is always a headache for him, because the villa consumes a lot of supplies every day. Flour, rice, condiments; cloth, buttons, silk thread; spices, soap, washing powder...

Behind Daliang's comfortable life here are the busy butlers and maids. And buying things takes up a large part of their time and manpower.

Therefore, when Daliang proposed to open a supermarket and sell all the daily necessities of all families together, Mike immediately realized the convenience that the supermarket brought to him, which is definitely a huge temptation for all families.

But Mike still put forward his own opinion based on his own experience: "Master, I admire your wisdom. You can always come up with amazing ideas. But there are some things I need to remind you...

Among the daily necessities of the family, some can be stored for a long time, such as tableware, kettles and teacups. But there are also some that cannot be stored for a long time, such as eggs and meat. At the same time, we also have to consider that some things may go bad during storage, such as flour getting damp and rice getting worms.

We can throw away a small amount of broken and spoiled things. But once we want to open such a large and comprehensive supermarket, there will definitely be huge losses. If there is continuous bad weather, or other reasons cause the goods to be unsold for a long time, the loss will be even greater.

In addition, not all goods can be sold quickly. If there is a large backlog of some goods, it will invisibly increase our operating costs."

Mike, a calculating housekeeper, easily grasped some of the disadvantages of supermarkets, that is, how to control unnecessary losses. Small shops are easy to manage, the cost of investment is not high, broken things can be thrown away, and things with low sales can be purchased less next time.

Supermarkets are different. Once there is excessive loss or a slowdown in circulation, it can cause a serious financial crisis.

Da Liang said: "This is easy to do... We build the supermarket and then invite merchants in. We rent the venue to them, let them display their own goods, manage their own goods... They are responsible for any losses.

We only help them sell, and we pay them for each item sold.

Supermarkets only sell and provide venues. How to store things and stop losses is the business of merchants."

Mike, who had never seen business done this way, was stunned. He turned Da Liang's words in his mind three times before he got a little clue and asked: "Master, what you mean is... I only provide the venue and don't pay any fees for the purchase of goods. Then I will pay the merchants for the goods after the goods are sold. I can earn the difference in the middle without spending a copper coin, and I don't have to pay for the damaged goods.

At the same time, I can also collect rent again by renting the venue to merchants?"

What's the difference between this and wooling wool, and it's wooling wool from others. After the wool is sold, another wooling fee will be charged.

This is too shameless!

Looking at the human child sitting on the sofa, smiling and talking to him about the supermarket concept, Mike felt that he was the most evil demon.

No... He was originally the world-destroying demon king, the master of hell.

Just like what he often did before... How many strong people were deceived by him and even lost themselves, and he was also an unlucky person who fell into his hands.

"No, no, no..." Da Liang pointed out the error in Mike's understanding: "We are not not paying any expenses. Didn't I spend money to buy this warehouse? We have to pay salaries for the managers, security personnel, and sales staff of the supermarket.

And then there are the consumption of sanitation, packaging and electricity... All of which must be recorded in the expenses.

Don't think that opening a supermarket is too simple. If it is not well managed, it will still lose money. How to spend the least money to do the most things... is your job.

I will leave the supermarket business to you. Please give me a complete plan as soon as possible. If you need any manpower, you can recruit in Saroyang or directly transfer from the Great Tomb. I will give you sufficient rights.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. "

Mike, who can manage the Great Tomb, has become clear at this time. With the framework given by Daliang, he only needs to fill in the details.

There is sufficient funds and manpower. The only trouble is how to convince those merchants to drive the sheep here so that Master Liang can get the wool.

But Mike is still very confident in himself... For example, the lady he met on the train. Not long ago, he met this woman who seemed to have some status in Saroyang again. They had a good conversation. The lady's family has some power in this city.

Through her, you can get in touch with the upper class in Saroyang City, and then get to know some merchants.

"Yes, master... I will do a good job in opening a supermarket. "

Da Liang nodded.

To manage a supermarket, the real test is the manager's ability to coordinate and ensure the smooth flow of every link. He is still very confident in Mike's ability...shrewd and careful, and also dark-hearted.

The concept of the supermarket came to an end for the time being. Looking around, Da Liang suddenly found something missing and asked, "Why can't I see Black Pearl?"

"Reporting to the master...Miss Black Pearl is changing clothes in Princess Zi Ling's room. Her Royal Highness wants to take her to the Pier Magic Academy..."

Recommend a book, but when I got the copy from the author, I refused in my heart. "Time Stops 499 Years" is a book written by a silly loli, with five pictures updated a day, super good. "
