Chapter Summary
Is it possible to not invest any money?" For Zhang Jing, increasing profits would be a good thing if no investment was needed. However, Liu Ning had already invested so much money and hadn't seen any return yet, and now he wanted to invest more. If we can guarantee its safety, other community supermarkets will also be profitable, even more profitable than our community supermarket.
"Do we still need to invest a lot of money? Is it possible to not invest any money?"
For Zhang Jing, increasing profits would be a good thing if no investment was needed. However, Liu Ning had already invested so much money and hadn't seen any return yet, and now he wanted to invest more. So Zhang Jing felt a little uncomfortable.
“Sister Zhang, that’s probably impossible. If we acquire a company, we have to change it. If we just follow the company’s original development model, we won’t be able to increase profits in the end. I’ve studied this company. If we can guarantee its safety, other community supermarkets will also be profitable, even more profitable than our community supermarket. As for the property management company, I don’t have any other research on it yet.”
Liu Ning was well aware of Xue Fenfen's concept. After acquiring a company, changes were inevitable, and these changes would cost money. Zhang Jing, being a housewife, was naturally unfamiliar with this concept.
“I think your idea is very correct. Do you have a feasibility report? Show it to me. If there are no problems, then investing is certainly an option.”
Although Liu Ning is not a standard businessman, he knows that he should have a plan before doing anything. Just like when they go hunting in the wild, if they rush in without a complete plan, it is no wonder that they will fail!
"I don't have that plan for now, and I don't know if the boss wants to make any changes. But if you give me some time, I'm sure I can do it well. Why don't we go and take a look at the supermarkets in different places?"
Everyone knows that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Xue Fenfen didn't dare to make any guarantees at this point, so she had to go and see for herself. Otherwise, if she really lost money, it would be embarrassing for her.
Xue Fenfen is a capable girl. She knows that she can no longer rely on the Xue family in the future, and her only way forward is through Liu Ning's side. Therefore, she must make some achievements. Everyone must demonstrate their role in order to make others keep you. Just talking is useless.
Xue Fenfen's current identity is Zhang Jing's bodyguard, but this identity is not very good. If she can become a business assistant, it will mean that she has taken a step forward. Of course, she has to show results. Liu Ning can't just promote her based on Zhao Lele's few words.
Liu Ning was very supportive of Xue Fenfen's idea, so he asked Lao Han to drive over, and they planned to go and check out other supermarkets.
"Hey Lao Han, have you taken the wrong turn? It's been 40 minutes already, how come we still haven't reached the supermarket?"
Liu Ning glanced at his watch. A long time had passed, and they were now in some remote areas. According to the information, it wasn't that far.
"Boss, look, the area around us is a bit chaotic. I have to ensure your safety first. If we just follow the navigation, we'll have to go through several gang bases, which aren't very safe."
Old Han said somewhat speechlessly, "This area is also very chaotic. The patrol station used to ignore it. Although there are surveillance cameras on the streets now, the patrol station still lets it develop unchecked. After all, there are too many gangs here. If the patrol station interferes too much, these gangs will not be to be trifled with." To ensure the safety of the people in the car, Old Han took several detours, which delayed him.
When Liu Ning arrived at the supermarket, he heard the report from below and naturally understood why the supermarket was losing money. The supermarket was robbed an average of twice a day. Those gangs treated this place as a cash cow. They would come and rob it when they were short of money. How could they not lose money?
Liu Ning looked at the supermarket, and the person in charge also had a bitter look on their face. They couldn't stop those gang members at all. All sorts of pictures were drawn around the place, which could be called performance art. The area was about the same as the one in Liu Ning's community, but the profitability was that it lost tens of millions every year.
The original owner intended to close the shop here, but the naval base was unwilling. They argued that if the shop closed, how would the surrounding residents buy things? If there wasn't even a supermarket, the residents would definitely protest even more. Therefore, the naval base wouldn't allow the shop to close. They threatened that if the shop closed, the more profitable supermarket would also have to close.
“Boss, look, this is the customer traffic over the past 10 minutes. I started calculating it when we arrived, and the customer traffic here is quite substantial. If we want to ensure security here, I estimate we'll need at least five armed guards, plus at least one military apprentice. That would increase the monthly cost by about 80,000 yuan…”
Xue Fenfen began to introduce the investment of a shop. In addition to increasing the number of armed guards, Xue Fenfen had other ideas. She also needed to make arrangements with the transportation management office to have them set up some surveillance cameras here. This would also serve as a deterrent to the gangs. With these two measures combined, the security here would be much better.
Liu Ning basically agreed with Xue Fenfen's suggestion. He had also seen the customer traffic here earlier. If the safety of this place could be guaranteed, its profitability would not be a problem. However, how to ensure safety was a very important issue. Relying solely on armed guards would probably be insufficient. It was necessary to cultivate good relations with the local gangs.
For Liu Ning, he didn't resist protection money from society. As long as you accepted my protection money and did things for me, that was fine. Wasn't the tax I paid to the garrison supposed to be for my own safety? But if the garrison couldn't guarantee my safety, then I had to find other ways.
Liu Ning handed over the task of finding the guards to Xue Fenfen, and then began to contact Wang Gui. Although it was not Wang Gui's jurisdiction, Wang Hui had been doing quite well recently, having been promoted three ranks in the patrol station. Everyone around knew that Wang Gui had climbed up to a powerful figure, so when Liu Ning contacted him, this guy immediately came over with his men.
"Mr. Liu, let me introduce you. These are the guys from this neighborhood..."
Wang Gui brought the patrol officers from the local police station with him.
