Chapter 297 Dormitory Convenience Store Project
Dormitory convenience store?!
The restaurant owner's words stunned all the students in the finance class. Of course, it was not that they didn't know what the convenience store was, but that they were surprised and suspicious of this idea.
"Actually, I have been doing business here for more than three years, and I have discovered some phenomena here."
The restaurant owner was a little timid in the eyes of all the students in the finance class, but still plucked up the courage to say: "It is undeniable that Harvard's campus construction is very successful. Not only is the environment but other supporting facilities here, it is possible to cultivate world-class talents. However, I found that there are still certain problems here in the purchase of convenience products, especially fast food products." ???? Novel br />
Perhaps it was because of dissatisfaction, or perhaps it was really just a simple question. In short, when the restaurant owner finished speaking, Li Yang immediately retorted: "Is that true? But as far as I know, there is at least one convenience store in every dormitory area on Harvard campus. How can you say that there is no?"
After Li Yang asked this, the restaurant owner did not dare to speak. Seeing this, Zhou Ming guided the restaurant owner and said, "Boss, just say whatever you want. Li Yang just put forward some of his own opinions, you can do it, we are communicating with each other."
Zhou Ming's words gave the restaurant owner a certain confidence, and the restaurant owner continued: "Classmate, I did not say that there is no convenience store in the school dormitory area. I just said that there is a big problem with him, and the biggest problem is that the convenience store is outside the dormitory."
After hearing what the restaurant owner said, all the students in the finance class were stunned. They looked at the boss for no reason, and they didn't understand what he was saying: Isn't the convenience store just open outside? This is common sense. If this is also a problem, then I'm afraid there is no school that doesn't have any problems.
The restaurant owner then explained to everyone: "Because the convenience store is outside, all students have to go out of the dormitory door to buy things, but I observed that many people just don't want to take these few more steps."
"Once a few Harvard students came to my restaurant for dinner. I investigated this situation. They told me that they would rather spend more money than spend more time. Especially in winter, the temperature in Brighton is very low, but there is heating in the dormitory, so they are even less willing to run out against the wind and snow for a little thing."
The restaurant owner thought about it and added: "At the same night, it is normal to study on Harvard campus or do other things until late to bed or even overnight. But I'm sorry, Harvard convenience stores have not been opened until 11 o'clock. At that time, students still wanted to buy things but couldn't find a place at all."
Finally, the restaurant owner concluded: "So many students have complained that it would be great if there was a convenience store in their dormitory building, so that as long as the price was uncommon, they would be able to accept it."
After hearing the restaurant owner say that, Zhou Ming looked around and asked, "What do you think of the boss?"
When Zhou Ming asked a question, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer, or they didn't know how to answer at all. Zhou Ming had to say by himself: "I personally agree with the boss's idea. I think this is very feasible, but I'm a little curious."
Zhou Ming said, looking back at the restaurant owner and asked, "Boss, since you have investigated this situation a long time ago, why don't you do it?"
The words were amazing. All the students in the finance class admired Zhou Ming very much. Thinking that this is worthy of being their class teacher, the business mind is much clearer than theirs.
Maybe it sounds like Zhou Ming’s question is not complicated, but it completely asks the key point. Since your restaurant owner can speak so well, he has also inspected and asked the students himself, and the advice he gave is so pertinent, and he is so sure that this project will definitely make money. Then why don’t you do it yourself? Obviously, there must be other problems, so he won’t do it yourself and encourage others to do it.
This sounds like it was asked naturally, but Zhou Ming is the only one who can think of this question at this time and ask such a question without being troubled by any other factors.
Faced with Zhou Ming's problem, the restaurant owner was sweating coldly. Of course, he was like this. He was not because there was something wrong with what he said. He deliberately wanted to brag in front of them. It was because Zhou Ming's aura enveloped him, making him feel nervous.
"In fact, there is no special reason," the restaurant owner said, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, "it's just that no one does it."
"What does it mean if no one does it? Is it because the income is very low?" Li Yang asked in surprise. The other students in the finance class nodded. Although they all believed Zhou Ming's judgment, they still felt that this kind of convenience store stuff was not very profitable.
"No, don't think that the profit is very low when you look at the things in the convenience store that are very cheap. In fact, it is not the case. If you can open a dormitory convenience store, your profit will be at least 200 to 300%. For example, a piece of quick-heating toast bread is generally sold for 20 cents in a convenience store, but if you want to go to a dormitory convenience store, you can sell it for 50 or even 60 cents. I believe someone will buy it."
After hearing the restaurant owner say that, Li Yang immediately asked him: "Boss, then since this thing is so profitable, why do you still say that no one is doing it?"
Before the restaurant owner could say anything this time, Zhou Ming said first: "If I guess correctly, what the boss said should be that no one is willing to do it, right?"
When the restaurant owner heard Zhou Ming say this, he immediately nodded as if he had met a soulmate: "That's right, Boss Zhou, what you said, it's just that no one did it. After all, Harvard is a place to cultivate senior management talents."
As the restaurant owner said this, everyone understood, but the students in the finance class understood much later than Zhou Ming. In fact, when Zhou Ming asked that sentence, he had already thought of this. After all, people were a little lazy and said that, which is not a derogatory term, but a yearning for a better life.
Just imagine, ordinary people want to do better, more comfortable and easy jobs, want to go to work easily every day, earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, and be able to go to every corner of the world for vacation at any time a year, let alone these Harvard prides, their arrogance will only be stronger.
Zhou Ming still remembers that when he was in China in his previous life, he took the postgraduate entrance examination and lived in the university dormitory. At that time, because the graduate dormitory had been fully arranged, he arranged to an ordinary university dormitory. At that time, someone in the dormitory where he lived was doing this kind of dormitory convenience store business, and the profit was as the restaurant owner said. Instant noodles that were originally worth one dollar were sold for one dollar and five taels.
It sounds like I don’t make much money, but if you compare the supermarket prices of instant noodles, you can see that the profit of this kind of business is 50% to 100%, and this is a fast-selling product. If you pair it with chicken feet, braised eggs, bread, eight treasure porridge, ham sausage, etc., you can get a net profit of at least one or two hundred yuan a day. If you don’t go to class on weekends, you can make at most thousands of yuan a day.
Logically speaking, many people are rushing to do such a profitable business, but in reality, there are hundreds of people in the dormitory, and he is the only one who is doing it. Others can't see it, or they don't want to do it, or they don't want to do it, or they think it's troublesome to purchase goods every day, or they think it's tiring to sell until midnight every day, or they think it's embarrassing to do business in the dormitory like this. In short, there are always some reasons.
Now that we are at Harvard, in addition to these ideas, these Harvard students probably have more important opinions on this little money. They think they should be executives of large companies and start their own businesses. They need to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a minute. This piece of bread doesn't make a dollar. How could it be something my Harvard student do?
Just like when Zhou Ming asked the students in the financial class what they were doing, everyone’s first reaction was that securities companies, fund companies, or even banks never face other businesses, so the restaurant owner would say that no one did it.
Thinking of this, all the students in the finance class lowered their heads in shame. Zhou Ming continued: "Actually, our ancestors said a long time ago that there is no distinction between high and low jobs, and the same is true for business. Don't underestimate the profits of this and two yuan. Gathering small amounts of money is also a very considerable income. Moreover, in a place like Harvard where executives and big entrepreneurs gather in the future, we can raise the profits more. Anyway, these Americans are not short of money."
With Zhou Ming's words, the students all laughed, and Li Yang said: "Teacher, you are right. In our hometown, people who buy floss for 10 cents for 10 cents are stupid bs. Then I think these Americans are fighters among stupid bs!"
Ye Ning said: "The teacher is right. We just want to make money and make money from the United States. First of all, we make money from these Harvard people. We are called winning glory for the country!"
Looking at the lively scene in the box, the restaurant owner was shocked. Once upon a time, when he thought of this project, he also thought that he would have such support when he found someone, but in the end he was greeted with endless cold eyes and ridicule. But now Zhou Ming is here, can he have such treatment. Is this his personality charm? No wonder he can become the teacher of these people. What kind of person is this!
When the restaurant owner was thinking this way, Zhou Ming raised his glass and said, "Since that's the case, we decided our first entrepreneurial project, this dormitory convenience store! I hope that from today on, the students can look at the problem with the most objective and pragmatic perspective and abandon all bad emotions. If there is no wine today, we will use tea instead of wine."
As Zhou Ming raised his glass, the students in other finance classes also raised their glasses together, and everyone cheered loudly.
Finally, Zhou Ming also turned to the restaurant owner: "Of course we should also thank the boss, because he thought of such a good project for us. In the future, we will have many things to ask for when we do business!"
Zhou Ming said that he brought the students in the finance class to the restaurant owner to a cup of tea. The restaurant owner was flattered and poured a cup of tea in a panic.
The restaurant owner was shocked when he watched all the classmates following Zhou Ming to offer tea to him. Although he didn't think he was a very sensible person, at this moment, he still felt that Zhou Ming had the temperament of a leader!
