Chapter 249: Supermarket Opening

Han Songlin's attention was not on Fuxing Power, but rather on the supermarket. Han Songlin had extremely high expectations for the supermarket; before internet companies came into being, the retail industry had the highest market value in the world.

Even in the internet age, the retail industry has not withered, and it is still doing well.

In fact, if they seize the opportunity in time, they can even transform into Internet companies.

For example, GooDong!

GooDong is essentially a large Internet supermarket!

December 1st, today, in Jiangzhong, it can be said that it is attracting a lot of attention.

The advertisements for Fumanduo Supermarket have already started on the radio, in newspapers, and on the city radio station.

At 9 o'clock on December 1st, after a simple opening ceremony, Fumanduo's first supermarket officially began business.

The crowd that gathered for the opening surged in like a floodgate.

Han Songlin had considered that there might be a lot of customers at the opening, so he had arranged for some security guards in advance.

He had deployed all the security guards from the factory except for those who were on duty.

There were just over a dozen security guards, and they were barely enough to keep the crowd under control.

Inside the supermarket, the sales assistants, dressed in uniform yellow and red, were nervous when they saw the crowds of people.

They had never seen anything like this before!

Fortunately, the training had not been in vain. After the first wave of people came in, the flow slowed down a lot, and then it became normal.

Han Songlin stood in the surveillance room, watching the situation in the supermarket.

There were cameras all over the supermarket.

Han Songlin knew that there was no way to completely prevent theft in the supermarket.

So he could only hope that the cameras would have a deterrent effect.

Of course, if they catch someone, they won't let them go.

On the first day of the supermarket's opening, Han Songlin didn't say anything about holding any big sales or other promotional activities.

There was no need!

At the moment, there was only one supermarket in Jiangzhong, and no second competitor.

It was a purely seller's market.

The prices of goods in the Fumanduo Supermarket were inherently much cheaper than outside, so there was no need to worry about a lack of customers.

After a while, Li Gang came to the surveillance room, unable to hide his smile on his face: 'Boss, it's crazy, it's crazy! We've sold out of rice, flour and oil.'

Han Songlin's gaze returned from the screen. The surveillance camera from the 1990s was still quite clear.

This was because the surveillance system installed in the Fullmart supermarket was relatively expensive.

It was normal that the higher the price, the better the service.

'Replenish the goods as needed, stay calm!'

Han Songlin's mood swings were not great, so this was nothing.

'Send all the staff to the checkout counters, there are already some queues!'

Li Gang subconsciously looked at the surveillance camera at the checkout counters. Indeed, as more and more people bought things to check out, the speed of the checkout could not keep up.

'I'll go arrange people!'

From the beginning to noon, the supermarket was constantly busy, so busy that there was no time to eat.

The arrangement was that the supermarket staff would take turns to eat.

In the afternoon, the flow of people was still very high.

At night, the flow of people in the supermarket increased again.

Many people use the Fumanduo supermarket as a place to eat in the evening.

There are many people who bring the elderly and children to experience supermarket shopping.

In fact, this way of shopping in the supermarket has really had a big impact on everyone.

For several days in a row, the flow of people in the supermarket was particularly high.

Even if you don't buy anything, you have to take a stroll inside the supermarket.

The second floor of the supermarket is also beginning to be decorated.

The second floor will be used as an appliance store.

Yes, it will be an appliance store.

It is not yet open for business, but will be once the warehouse is built.

The second floor will mainly serve as a display area for goods, and deliveries will be made directly from the warehouse to the customer's home.

There are already shops selling appliances, and Han Songlin has looked around in Jiang Zhong.

It seems that there is no problem with this!

If not, then where did people buy appliances and such before?

The largest store only has an area of a hundred square meters.

Opening an appliance store means hiring staff.

Deliverymen, installers, and maintenance staff are all necessary.

And there are also maintenance staff.

Han Songlin is prepared to provide on-site maintenance services.

Of course, for now, this on-site maintenance service can only be provided in the city.

In the suburbs and rural areas, it is not possible.

If repairs are needed, you have to take the goods to the repair centre yourself.

And the repair service is not free.

You still have to pay for the parts.

Sitting in his office on the third floor, Han Songlin looks at the business figures for the supermarket for the past week.

On the first day of opening, the turnover of the Fumanda supermarket was as high as one million yuan; for the whole week, it was nearly 5 million yuan, or 4.8 million yuan to be precise.

The average daily turnover is almost 700,000 yuan.

Of course, after that, the turnover will continue to decline for a period of time, and then remain relatively stable.

Han Songlin says that a daily turnover of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan is more than acceptable.

After all, the supermarket's profit is quite good.

Currently, Fumanduo's profit margin is quite high, reaching 20%.

After that, when Fumanduo's demand for goods goes up, it can directly negotiate with more merchants to lower the purchase price.

In addition, the settlement cycle can be increased.

It can be settled directly every quarter, or even every six months.

In this way, the supermarket will have a large amount of cash flow.

Han Songlin seems to have discovered a way to get rich.

If a second supermarket is opened, Fumanduo will not even have to pay the purchase price in advance, but will simply put the goods on the shelves first, and the purchase price will be settled three months later.

In other words, all that is needed for a Full-Full supermarket is to find a shop front, renovate it and start trading.

The second supermarket is also under investigation.

What's the point of Jiangzhong? The city has a population of more than 400,000!

One shop front is simply not enough.

Therefore, opening a new shop in Jiangzhong has become inevitable.

Han Songlin still followed the same strategy as when he opened the lu rou (braised pork) shop, and tried to buy the shop outright.

Knowing that future property prices would be through the roof, and that the current prices were at a baby-boomer low, he knew that he had to prepare in advance.

Moreover, the rent was the thing he was most worried about when opening a supermarket.

Many supermarkets ended up working purely for the landlord, and naturally, Han Songlin didn't want that to happen.

Of course, Han Songlin buying the store did not mean that he would put it under the name of Fumanduo Supermarket.

The store belonged to Xinghai Real Estate.

The shop was bought in the name of Xinghai Real Estate, which then leased it to Fullmato Supermarket for one yuan.

How the rent will be calculated in the future depends on the situation.
