What is a supermarket? Han Songlin had visited the supermarket countless times, but still didn't really know what the true definition of a supermarket was.
'Maybe it's called a self-service supermarket, a department store with a huge area that sells everything from food, household goods, vegetables, fruits, etc. Customers can shop as they like and then pay at the cashier.'
Liu Yuyan summed it up in one sentence: 'It's just an expanded grocery store!'
'If you insist on saying it that way, it's fine!' Han Songlin was full of embarrassment, so he decided not to explain; Liu Yuyan's understanding was not a problem.
A supermarket is just that, it has everything and sells everything!
A huge grocery store is also not wrong at all.
Han Songlin wanted to open a supermarket because the big supermarket groups from abroad had not yet entered the country.
When those foreign supermarkets entered, the local supermarkets in China really found it difficult to develop.
The mature supermarket system came to fight against the supermarkets in China, which had just developed and did not have much experience, and they were really successful.
In the future, after continuous development, the supermarkets in China will eventually develop well, but they will not develop to the desired height.
This is quite a pity.
'By the way, supermarkets have a technological content!' Han Songlin said, taking the bowl from Liu Yuyan's hands. He had to clear the table.
In addition, he could give some serious thought to how the supermarket should develop.
He could learn from the development model of Jingdong.
Jingdong is, to put it bluntly, a huge supermarket, except that it is an online supermarket.
Now Han Songlin naturally couldn't do online shopping or anything like that, but there were still some things from Jingdong that he could learn from.
For example, building large storage bases across the country.
If Han Songlin really does set up a supermarket, he can also build storage nodes in regional cities, and then use the storage nodes to radiate out to the surrounding areas.
Even in the era of Internet e-commerce, these storage nodes can be quickly converted into delivery warehouses, quickly achieving same-day delivery within the city.
In addition to opening large supermarkets, convenience stores can also be set up all over the city, which can also be used as nodes for future express delivery.
Even in the towns and villages, supermarkets can be opened.
In the countryside, you can cooperate with people to let local supermarkets hang their own brand, and the supply and so on can be directly delivered from the warehouse of their own supermarket.
The bargaining power of large supermarkets is definitely much stronger than that of small shops.
By then, if you set up your own express delivery service, these cooperative supermarkets in the countryside will become a natural network of express delivery outlets!
By then, there will be more outlets than the postal network.
The express delivery service can be delivered to every village.
Just thinking about it makes me feel quite excited.
If it really works out, it's a little scary!
Han Songlin thinks it's terrifying to imagine the effort it would take to run such a huge system. But isn't that what makes it interesting?
Han Songlin is imagining the future when he is interrupted by a phone ringing.
Frowning slightly, Han Songlin picks up the phone.
'Hello, this is Han Songlin!'
'Oh, it's Zhang Menglan. Are you free today? I'd like to visit the winery!'
Han Songlin was a little dubious: 'Today? It's raining outside!'
'It's stopped raining!'
'Well, if you want to go, I'll have to say yes. Where are you now? I'll come to you.'
'The Tobacco Company staff housing.'
Tobacco Company staff housing?
It seems to be newly built. I have to say, the Tobacco Company really makes a lot of money.
Not only does the company make money, but the employee benefits are also quite good.
'Okay, I'll come to you. I can be there in 20 minutes!' Han Songlin glanced at the mechanical clock on top of the TV cabinet. It wasn't too late.
Zhang Menglan: 'Okay, I'll wait for you!'
After hanging up the phone, Han Songlin thought for a moment and called the Jiayuan side of the Second Branch Factory to ask them to prepare lunch for a few people that day.
The Jiayuan Restaurant in the second factory was previously used exclusively to provide meals for the factory leaders and to entertain visiting leaders and customers.
After Han Songlin acquired Yuanle Winery, the Jiayuan Restaurant was not abandoned.
Instead, it was retained, and the employees inside were naturally retained as well.
However, nowadays, the entertainment and such has obviously decreased a lot.
For example, if the factory leader wants to eat in the Jiayuan Restaurant, they cannot just eat casually if they have no business there.
There are also clear rules regarding entertainment expenses, and you can't just do whatever you like.
That's no joke.
After arranging things, Han Songlin told Liu Yuyan about going out.
'So you're not coming back for lunch?'
'No, I'll eat at the factory.'
Liu Yuyan wanted to go with him, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Driving, Han Songlin arrived at the tobacco company dormitory, and then saw a black car parked on the roadside.
After honking the horn, the windows in the front and back of the car were opened, and he saw Zhang Ju driving, with Zhang Menglan sitting in the back seat.
There seemed to be a woman in the passenger seat, Zhang Ju's wife.
They had met and been introduced, but he had forgotten her name.
'Then let's go, I'll lead the way!'
Zhang Ju agreed, saying that he had been on Hu Jian's side for all these years, and every time he returned to Yuechi, he would stay at home for a while before leaving.
So he didn't know much about Yuechi.
'I never thought that the crazy guy from back then would have such a big fortune now!' Zhang Ju said, his words full of jealousy. He was also considered to have a small fortune in Hu Jian, and he had especially relied on his younger sister to build up a small family business.
But compared to the family business that Han Songlin had earned in just over a year, his own was like a joke.
Zhang Menglan leaned against the car door with her eyes lowered. Upon hearing Zhang Ju's words, she didn't even raise her eyes and said indifferently, 'In the future, I don't want to hear you call him Crazy anymore!'
A faint pain flowed in her heart. If she had insisted, would things have been better?
Unfortunately, there is never any regret medicine in the world.
Zhang Jiu looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that Zhang Menglan seemed a little upset, but he didn't know what was wrong.
In the past two days, Zhang Menglan had given him a strange impression.
It was really hard to figure her out.
Han Songlin wasn't driving very fast, and the road didn't allow for fast driving.
Han Songlin wondered if he should take the lead and encourage the county to repair the road.
Let's not talk about paving the road with asphalt, but let's start with a concrete road!
The cost of a concrete road is not too high. A kilometre of road would cost a few hundred thousand yuan at the moment, and that's for a high-standard concrete road.
I wonder if County D will improve the traffic after they get the money?
Han Songlin thought about the various political achievements that are very popular nowadays, and felt a little panicked.
If they can't get the funding, then it can only be said that Fule Wine will have to fund the construction of the road.
It is quite normal for a company to build a road.
