From afar, Li Dong saw Feng Jingsong sitting alone next to the flagpole. His half-rolled up sleeves made him look like a prince charming.
Li Dong pursed his lips and looked around. It did not seem like someone was hiding here.
With his guard down, Li Dong moved his stool leg and walked straight toward Feng Jingsong.
"You're here."
Feng Jingsong's tone was calm.
Damn it!
Li Dong looked disgusted. His tone made it sound like he was the one begging him to come.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, go play. I don't have time to play with you."
Feng Jingsong's expression did not look too good. He felt that he could not suppress a loafer like Li Dong by relying on his aura. He straightened his expression and said, "Li Dong, I'm here to talk to you."
"What do I have to talk to you about?"
Feng Jingsong was somewhat used to Li Dong's shamelessness. His expression turned slightly cold. "Then I'll say it directly. Don't blame me for being too direct."
"You used to have good grades, but now you can only be considered average. If you work hard, you should be able to get into a second-tier university."
"Your family sells fish. At most, your family's savings do not exceed a hundred thousand."
"Speaking of looks, not only must a man be good-looking, but do you think you can compare to me?"
"Also …"
Li Dong found a place to sit down and listened to Feng Jingsong ramble on about how he was tall, rich, and handsome, while Li Dong was short and poor, and so on.
After listening for a while, he yawned and interrupted, "That's enough. Is there anything else?"
Feng Jingsong's tone faltered. He suppressed his anger and said, "I've said so much and you still don't understand? It's important to know one's own limitations. Do you think you're worthy of Qin Yuhan? "
Li Dong stared straight at Feng Jingsong. After a long while, he sneered. "I'm praising you if I say you're childish."
"What do you mean?" Feng Jingsong clenched his teeth and glared at Li Dong.
Li Dong stretched, feeling a little bored.
Originally, he thought that Feng Jingsong would give him a little surprise, but now it seemed that he was a spoiled fool.
You could at least threaten me with a carrot and a stick. Or you could just throw money at me. No matter what, it would be better than saying empty words.
But you made it sound so serious, but in the end, you just wanted to compete with me in terms of results, family background, and handsomeness, and there were no girls watching from the side. If you aren't a fool, what are you?
Li Dong was too lazy to say anything more to this fool. He was not a young boy who had just entered puberty, so he was too lazy to argue with him.
With a wave of his sleeves, Li Dong did not even have the thought to refute him and immediately left.
Feng Jingsong was speechless for a long time. He, who had never experienced any great storms, couldn't understand how Li Dong could be so calm.
In his opinion, if he hadn't said those words, Li Dong would have been enraged. At the very least, Li Dong would have felt inferior and lost and wouldn't dare to face him in the future.
But in the end, Li Dong acted like nothing had happened. He didn't even have the slightest bit of shame!
Shameless fellow!
Feng Jingsong gritted his teeth. He finally understood what kind of person Li Dong was.
…
Although he said that he didn't care, it was impossible for Li Dong to not care at all after being despised by others.
It wasn't that he was competing with Feng Jingsong, but he had to consider his own future.
Although he had recently made some money as a second-hand dealer, it wasn't a long-term business. As a person who had been reborn, he couldn't make money by selling lobsters.
Of course, if he could make a lot of money every day like now, he wouldn't mind selling lobsters all the time.
How would he make money in the next ten years?
The internet was developing quickly, but whether it was Baidu or Tencent, they were all on the right track. As an outsider, he couldn't interfere at all.
Even if he wanted to interfere, he didn't have the opportunity and capital. At most, he could buy some stocks in the future to make a profit.
There was also the huge profits from real estate, but it wasn't possible to do it with money alone without connections. Just the various land approval procedures were enough to make him suffer.
He could consider buying a few houses and wait for the value to rise, but not developing real estate.
What else could he do?
Li Dong hated himself for being ignorant and incompetent. After working in society for so many years, he only knew how to do sales. He didn't even get involved in other industries.
Even if he had some contact with it before, he didn't know much about it. He couldn't think of what he could do to make money steadily.
After walking for a while, Li Dong's mouth was dry. He looked around and found a small store to buy a bottle of water.
After drinking a mouthful of water, Li Dong seemed to have thought of something and slapped his head hard!
Ignoring the others who were looking at him like he was an idiot, Li Dong hurriedly returned to the small store where he bought the water. He looked around and then started to wander around the streets.
He wandered around for more than an hour. Li Dong automatically forgot that he was preparing to go to night study later.
"Yeah, there's no supermarket. Dongping City doesn't even have a large supermarket …"
Li Dong muttered to himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he was looking for a supermarket to buy the Underwater Consciousness Land, he wouldn't have thought of this.
He was used to having a supermarket every few hundred to a thousand meters in his previous life. Only now did he realize that this was 2004, and Dongping was just an underdeveloped inland county.
The large supermarket chains hadn't set their sights on this place yet. They were busy fighting for the market in second and third tier cities.
Was opening a supermarket profitable?
Of course it was profitable!
Memories instantly flooded his mind. Li Dong remembered that it was this year when he went home during the National Day holiday. At that time, the first supermarket opened in the city.
It was a sea of people. Under the guise of opening promotion, the entire Dongping City was stirred up. People lined up outside the supermarket to shop.
Even his mother put down her business. Oil, salt, rice, food, and drinks. Whether it was useful or not, she moved a whole car full of things home.
Li Dong didn't expect the housewives in Dongping to be so energetic. They almost emptied the small supermarket for a few days.
In just a few years, when Li Dong returned home in his third year of university, he heard that Dongping City had its first Lamborghini. It was bought by the supermarket owner's son.
It could be seen how much money the supermarket had made in a few years. If it wasn't for famous brands like Huarun Resources, Tesco, and RT-Mart entering Dongping and quickly dominating the market with their strong capital and excellent service concept, it was possible for the supermarket to create the richest man in Dongping.
Unfortunately, due to the chaotic management, outdated environment, reluctance to invest, and small space, the supermarket never recovered. When the supermarket chain was everywhere, it seemed to have closed down.
Li Dong was tempted. The owner of the supermarket hadn't started yet.
It was now April, and the supermarket's official opening was in October. There was a time difference of half a year.
Maybe the other party had already started, but Li Dong didn't care. Even if the other party opened a supermarket, he believed that he wouldn't be a match for him.
It wasn't because he was better than the other party. It was because he just needed to copy the renovation, management, and service of the large supermarkets in his previous life.
The other party could open supermarkets all over the country, and their business was booming. If he copied them in this small county, how could he not make money?
Thinking of this, Li Dong started to think again. If he was going to open a supermarket, should he join a chain supermarket or choose his own brand?
There were benefits to joining a chain supermarket. He would have someone to guide him, and he wouldn't have to find his own channels to purchase goods. It would save him a lot of trouble.
However, there were also problems if he joined a chain. First, the chain had strict requirements on the location and capital.
Second, he would have to pay a joining fee and management fee every year. These were not small amounts.
Li Dong thought about it carefully. If it was a few years later, he would definitely choose to join a chain supermarket. This was because a small supermarket with an independent brand would have no room for survival.
However, the current Dongping market was still a wasteland. There was no difference between an independent brand and a chain supermarket. Since that was the case, why should he spend more money on others?
At this point, Li Dong had made up his mind. In his previous life, the first person to open a supermarket also didn't choose to join a chain supermarket. That person's business was still very good.
As long as he was willing to invest more in the future, even if a chain supermarket took over the market, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, as long as the business was not too bad, people's habits were not easy to change.
The last benefit was that he had not thought about what his parents would do after they stopped selling fish. They were still young, and they couldn't stay at home for the rest of their lives.
Busy people would get sick easily when they had nothing to do. Collecting money and managing the workers in the supermarket would be relaxing and lively. It was the most suitable job for his parents.
When he went to university, he would definitely treat Pingchuan as his main development area. He could leave the supermarket to his parents to manage.
With so many reasons added together, there was nothing to hesitate about!
Thinking was just thinking. Since he had already decided, he would be busy.
Money was a problem. According to his plan, it would be best if he could buy a place to open a supermarket. In his previous life, the rent of a store in a downtown area was frightening.
Including hiring people, purchasing goods, and handling the procedures, it would cost at least a million.
Even if he didn't have enough money and chose to rent a house, he would need at least a few hundred thousand. Currently, he only had about 80,000, so he still needed a lot of money.
Pingchuan earned about 20,000 every day. Even if Li Dong wanted to send more lobsters, he couldn't do anything about it. Dongping was only a small place. 10,000 pounds a day was probably his limit. If he sent more, there would definitely be people following him. Then, he might not be able to earn as much as he did now.
However, there was nothing he could do about Dongping, but there were two or three other counties nearby. These counties had a similar geographical environment as Dongping. There were many rivers, lakes, and lobsters.
If he could open up the market there, it wouldn't be difficult for Pingchuan to eat tens of thousands of pounds of lobsters a day.
In the past, Li Dong didn't need money. But now, if he wanted to open a supermarket, he would need a lot more money. He could only rack his brain to think of ways to raise money.
Furthermore, there were no large supermarkets in Dongping. Could it be that there were supermarkets in the surrounding counties?
Before those famous brands entered the county level cities, he should seize the opportunity to seize the market share. Forget about Jiangbei, he should at least take over Qingyang.
The more he thought about it, the more motivated Li Dong became. Time waits for no man. This was the best time!
