Chapter 355: Chapter 342: Not a Bad Idea (Requesting for More Votes)’.
The ability of Zhuang Qingning to open several workshops and have a successful shop all by herself actually surpassed his own abilities at her age. Moreover
“Manager Cheng has expressed an interest in this business, already. I am interested in hearing how Manager Cheng plans to make a success out of it.” Zhuang Qingning’s query interrupted Cheng Ruize’s thoughts.
Cheng Ruize pictures himself back into reality, clearing his throat, he said, “The shop certainly has to be opened. I have already chosen the location, it’s on West Street.”
“West Street?”
Zhuang Qingning recalled that East Street was the most vibrant place in the county town.
“Yes, West Street,” Cheng Ruize nodded. “East Street is indeed the most bustling area, with rows of shops, mostly cloth shops, tea shops, wineries and tea houses, rouge shops, gold and silver jewelers, and so on. Grocery stores selling food, vegetables, meat and grain though are on West Street.”
Even most of the local food in many county towns can be found on West
Street. Even though they seem to be unimpressive, ordinary, and even shabby on the surface, they still enjoy a thriving business and have a steady stream of regular customers.”
“Anyone who has lived in the county town for a long time knows that they can find delicious food on West Street. Therefore, it is very appropriate to sell things like century eggs, tofu skin, and tofu skin on West Street.”
“Moreover, the price of shops with similar size on West Street is much lower than that on East Street.”
Zhuang Qingning listened very carefully. She felt that Cheng Ruize did have a lot of original ideas and perspectives, and she had a bit more appreciation for him.”
Seeing Zhuang Qingning listening attentively, Cheng Ruize continued.
When the time comes, I plan to have taste tests at the entrance of the shop, have some people try some dishes for customers to sample, and use these to attract customers. In addition, I will hire some salesmen, set up a few temporary stalls in other places in the county town, to make it convenient for people from all over to buy century eggs, and also to help build a reputation for these century eggs.”
In other words, he intended to open a main store, and then set up simple experience stores.
It was a good idea.
Hearing this, Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but nod her head.
Noticing Zhuang Qingning’s appreciative expressions, Cheng Ruize stood up a little straighter, “After the business of century eggs in the county town gets off the ground, I plan to use the Cheng family’s business network to sell these century eggs to the prefecture city, nearby counties, and even Jiangnan, Lingnan and the capital city.”
“Of course, these are just plans for the future. What’s most important now is to first establish this shop in the county town and get the business started.”
“The ideas of Manager Cheng are excellent. Manager Cheng has a clear thought process in business planning and is very creative,” said Zhuang Qingning. “If Manager Cheng handles the business of century eggs in this way, it should yield considerable returns.”
“Earlier, Manager Cheng mentioned the idea of selling other things. We just happen to be discussing this, so let’s talk about how to supply these items like tofu and tofu skin, along with century eggs, how to set prices, and how to handle delivery, etc.”
Since this was discussed, a good portion of their joint venture was already well underway.
At least she was very much in agreement with him and his ideas.
“Yes.” Cheng Ruize responded with a smile, discussing some other follow-up matters with Zhuang Qingning.
