When Zhou Zhixin was in primary school, it was the early 1990s, a time of great construction. The real estate market was booming, and the hardware industry was rising with the tide. However, with the country's policy control on real estate, it was normal for business to deteriorate.
Starting this year, the real estate business will get better and better, and the hardware industry will also experience explosive development.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The bigger and bigger the business is, it doesn¡¯t matter, you may still not make money.
"Since business is not doing well, what is your dad's attitude towards opening a supermarket?"
"He is a little tempted, but he hasn't made up his mind yet" Zhou Zhixin suddenly became a little embarrassed: "I showed your retail report to my dad, but I didn't say it was you who wrote it"
"Why?"
"I'm worried that my dad will think you are too young and don't trust you, so he will lie to him that it was our teacher who wrote it After all, university professors' words are more credible"
Yi Xiaohai can understand.
"It doesn't matter who wrote it When I came here just now, I took a quick look. This place is about 200 meters away from Chongwen Street. The location is very good, and there are several communities nearby. When I came here with the boss, I noticed Look, there are several office buildings nearby, and the consumer population is very sufficient. If you open a supermarket, you will have the advantages of environment and price, and you will have no worries about business"
Zhou Zhixin was very happy: "When I came back this time, I took a tour around the neighborhood. With the hardware mall as the center, there are 6 communities within 3 kilometers, 13 communities within 5 kilometers, and four office buildings, and many white-collar workers are there. When renting a house near our community, they don¡¯t like to go to canteens to buy things. They would rather go shopping in large shopping malls and supermarkets in Wangfujing, which is further away. If a supermarket is opened here, I think business will be easy"
Zhou Zhixin is still very concerned about her family's business and started to do her homework when she came back: "But my dad is a little concerned about opening a supermarket. He has been dealing with hardware all his life, and he is not confident about suddenly changing his career, and supermarkets cannot The opening is too small and the investment is too big"
Zhou Zhixin¡¯s father, Zhou Gengsheng, is already forty. If he is suddenly asked to change careers, he will definitely not adapt.
¡°Furthermore, he has a wife and children to raise, suddenly changed careers, and the investment is still large, so it is normal for Zhou Gengsheng not to take risks.
"I'll tell your dad later that I have a way to persuade him"
Yi Xiaohai came with business today. With Yi Xiaohai's business here, Zhou Gengsheng should have nothing to worry about.
¡¡
Zhou Gengsheng¡¯s business talks took a long time. Yi Xiaohai and the others did not wait for him. Instead, they walked around nearby and then went directly back to Zhou Zhixin¡¯s house.
When someone came to the family, Zhou Gengsheng also closed the shop early.
Ye Mei and Zhang Yuqing had already prepared a table of dishes. Seeing Zhang Yuqing helping in the kitchen, Zhou Gengsheng shook his head and started talking.
"Dad, do you dislike the lack of food or do you think the food is not to your liking?"
"I think my daughter is not to my liking!" Zhou Gengsheng looked at Zhou Zhixin with some disgust: "I usually think you are good, but compared with Yuqing, I feel like I gave birth to a fake daughter"
Zhou Gengsheng and Ye Mei often complained about her, and Zhou Zhixin was used to it. She put the dishes and chopsticks indifferently: "Dad, you don't have to be so bitter. In Yuqing, she is half your daughter"
"If you say so, I seem to be in a better mood."
Ye Mei came out of the kitchen to bring the food and couldn't help but say: "Our daughter has evolved now and has become thicker-skinned. It's useless no matter what you say"
Zhou Zhixin is not angry, but rather proud: "When dealing with you two, you must turn a blind eye and listen but not hear, otherwise you two will be angry to death!"
"Forget it, you can't be saved, let's leave it at that" Zhou Gengsheng enjoyed the way he got along with his daughter. His dislike was actually a sign of love.
¡°Dad, you¡¯re in such a bad mood, why don¡¯t you take a drink to relieve your worries¡¡±
"Drink, if you want to drink, take out a bottle of wine from my cabinet"
Zhou Gengsheng is a wine lover. He has a lot of good wines in his wine cabinet. Zhou Zhixin took a bottle from the top of the cabinet because she knew the wine on top was the most expensive.
Zhou Gengsheng¡¯s eyelids jumped when he saw the wine his daughter had brought.
Fortunately, he locked up all the wine that he was reluctant to drink, otherwise his daughter would definitely get the best.
Zhou Gengsheng, who felt a little distressed, opened it and poured it evenly into three wine dividers: "Xiao Ge, Xiao Hai, you young people can all drink it, let's take three liang first"
Yi Xiaohai and Ge Hua are both people who can drink. Three ounces is nothing to them.
When the last dish of spicy lamb and scorpion came, Zhou Gengsheng raised his cup and said: "The place has not been so lively for a long time. I am happy today and will come here to play often"
It can be seen that Zhou Gengsheng is a hospitable person. After a glass of wine, he invites everyone to eat.
Zhou Zhixin put down her cup and winked at Yi Xiaohai eagerly, reminding him to talk to Zhou Gengsheng about opening a supermarket, but Yi Xiaohai ignored him.
It was the first time for him and Zhou Geng to meet, and they were juniors. Talking about business topics would make Zhou Gengsheng feel that he was not stable.
Zhou Zhixin¡¯s mother, Ye Mei, was very good at her craftsmanship, especially the spicy sheep and scorpions, which were very enjoyable to eat. They filled a pot full of them, but they destroyed more than half of them.
Zhou Zhixin winked at Yi Xiaohai several times to express his gratitude, but was ignored by Yi Xiaohai. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
After dinner, Zhou Gengsheng drank tea with Yi Xiaohai and Ge Hua. Zhang Yuqing and Ye Mei went to clean up. Zhou Zhixin refused to go into the kitchen to help and insisted on staying in the living room.
¡°It¡¯s not because she is lazy, but because she wants to supervise Yi Xiaohai¡¯s discussion with Zhou Gengsheng about opening a supermarket.
Zhou Gengsheng glanced at Zhou Zhixin, refrained from saying anything, and made tea for Yi Xiaohai and the others.
"Xiaohai, Xiaoxin said you are from Jinling. Are you here for tourism in Yanjing this time?"
"Not entirely" Yi Xiaohai took the tea handed over by Zhou Gengsheng with both hands: "I came to Yanjing mainly for work"
"Work?" Zhou Gengsheng handed another glass of water to Ge Hua: "Are you a freshman? Why do you still work?"
"Uncle Zhou, you don't know something. I have taken over my family's hotel business since I started college. This time I came to Yanjing to explore the market here"
Zhou Gengsheng nodded in understanding.
He knows that some business families put their descendants in charge of some businesses when they are very young. Firstly, it is a test for them, and secondly, it is to exercise their abilities, accumulate experience, and prepare for future succession.
"Work is important. If you need help with anything, you can tell uncle, you're welcome"
"Maybe I really have a favor that I need my uncle to help me with"
