Because there were still some things to finish up after closing the stall, Li Chengyuan and Yang Ming didn't stay long in the supermarket before they went to the vegetable market.
Li Dong sent his parents away and walked to Sun Tao's office.
Sun Tao's office was on the third floor of the supermarket.
Originally, the second floor of the Blue Ocean Commercial Building was planned to be divided into small stores for rent. When it was completed, most of the walls had already been built.
After Li Dong bought it, although he demolished some of the walls, he still left a few stores for use as offices.
When Li Dong entered the door, Sun Tao and Yang Yun were talking about something.
When they saw Li Dong, the two quickly got up to greet him.
Because Yang Yun was there, Li Dong was a little embarrassed. He gestured for the two to sit down and talk.
Although he told himself that Yang Yun was now his employee and not his future mother-in-law, Li Dong still felt awkward.
Sometimes he really wanted to fire Yang Yun, but when he thought about the consequences, Li Dong had to give up the idea. He was really afraid that his mother-in-law would settle the score with him when he visited.
Turning his head and trying not to look at Yang Yun, Li Dong said to Sun Tao, "Brother Sun, did I disturb you?"
"Hehe, what do you mean by disturbing? General Manager Li, you came at the right time. If you didn't come, we were going to look for you. "
"What's the matter?"
Li Dong asked. He had given Sun Tao as much power as possible in the supermarket. If it wasn't a big deal, he wouldn't ask about it.
"Let Manager Yang talk to you first. We'll talk about what I said later." Sun Tao signaled Yang Yun to speak first.
Li Dong nodded and turned to Yang Yun. "Yang … Manager, is there any trouble on your side?"
He subconsciously wanted to call her Auntie Yang, but he swallowed the words. Work was work, and it was not the time to please his mother-in-law.
Yang Yun didn't notice Li Dong's hesitation and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the supermarket has a lot of cash flow. Recently, several banks contacted me and wanted us to transfer the company's account to their bank. General Manager Sun asked me to ask your opinion."
Sun Tao rarely intervened in matters related to finance. So, although it was not a big deal, Sun Tao still didn't make a decision on his own.
Li Dong was also very satisfied with Sun Tao's attitude. He could leave everything else to Sun Tao, but he could forget about money.
The transfer of accounts was not a big deal, so Li Dong did not hesitate much. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, the CCB has always been working well with me. My loan is also from there, so I don't have to trouble myself for now."
He did not ask the other banks what kind of benefits they had offered. Li Dong was not interested in such small profits.
Li Dong didn't ask what benefits the other banks offered. These small profits didn't interest Li Dong.
Hearing Li Dong's refusal, Yang Yun didn't say anything more.
This was indeed not a big deal. It didn't affect the supermarket even if it was not changed. If Sun Tao didn't want to avoid arousing suspicion, he didn't need to ask Li Dong at all.
…
Yang Yun didn't leave after reporting. Sun Tao didn't talk to Li Dong directly. Instead, he said to Yang Yun, "Manager Yang, tell General Manager Li about the recent profits."
Li Dong realized that what Sun Tao wanted to say should be related to this. He saw Yang Yun looking at him and nodded.
Yang Yun picked up the notebook and reported, "Because it's not the end of the month, we haven't calculated the detailed accounts. Let me briefly explain the general situation first. We opened on the 1st, and we have been open for a total of eight days until yesterday. "
After a pause, Yang Yun continued, "In eight days, the supermarket's total sales are 4.8285 million yuan. The gross profit is about 1.2 million yuan."
After Yang Yun finished, Li Dong said excitedly, "So much! 1.2 million yuan in eight days? "
In just eight days, the profit was more than one million yuan. It was like robbing money!
"Ahem!" Sun Tao interrupted Li Dong's imagination. "General Manager Li, Manager Yang said the gross profit."
"Oh, what about the net profit?"
Only then did Li Dong remember that he hadn't included the staff's expenses, so he asked.
"Not including the rent, the net profit is about 800,000 yuan." Yang Yun silently calculated for a moment and gave the answer.
Li Dong was stunned when he heard that. There was a difference of four hundred thousand. That was too exaggerated!
There was no rent for the Faraway Supermarket. How could the supermarket spend so much in eight days?
Yang Yun and Sun Tao both knew that Li Dong did not understand. Afraid that Li Dong would misunderstand, Yang Yun explained, "The tax alone is about 300,000 yuan."
"Damn!"
Li Dong could not help but swear. "Such a high tax. The tax department is robbing us!"
Originally, he thought that he was robbing people for making so much money in eight days. Now it seemed that the other party was better. Even if they were robbing people, they still had to send themselves to them.
Sun Tao and Yang Yun did not answer. There was no way to avoid taxes. This was unavoidable, unless one falsified the accounts.
Li Dong was just complaining. He would not do it even if he was asked to evade taxes.
He was prepared to make a lot of money and live a carefree life. He did not want to suffer because of this.
After a moment of pain, Li Dong did not dwell on it anymore. He was not the only one paying taxes. The more he paid, the more he earned. There was no need to be unhappy about this.
Sun Tao waited for Li Dong to calm down before he continued, "Because we just opened, the sales may be a little high. According to my estimation, the average daily turnover is about 300,000 to 350,000 yuan. Excluding expenses, the monthly net profit should be about 1.2 to 1.5 million. "
"That means the annual net profit will be more than 10 million?"
Although Li Dong had calculated in his heart, he still could not believe it when he heard the annual profit was more than 10 million.
Excluding the 4 million yuan for the property, the supermarket investment was not too high. The total was about 2 million yuan.
Also, the expenses for the renovation were one-time. There was no need to invest in it for at least five years. The first month would be enough to cover the cost. This was too exaggerated!
"If the market does not change much, it should not be difficult to make a profit of 10 million yuan."
Speaking of this, Sun Tao was also a little emotional. Although he knew that the first person to eat crabs would definitely make money, he did not expect it to be this profitable.
To be honest, when he knew the profitability of Faraway Supermarket, Sun Tao really regretted it.
If it were not for the accident, maybe he would be the one counting the money now.
However, there was no medicine for regret. It was meaningless to talk about it now.
The key reason was that he did not have the capital. In addition, he owed a large amount of debt and could not borrow money now. Otherwise, Sun Tao really wanted to leave Far Away and start all over again.
Of course, these were just his thoughts.
Now that the foundation of Faraway Supermarket had been laid, if he could really make Faraway Supermarket bigger, his 10% shares might not be less than if he did it alone.
These thoughts flashed in Sun Tao's mind. Seeing that Li Dong was still immersed in surprise, Sun Tao interrupted, "General Manager Li!"
Li Dong finally came back to his senses and said awkwardly, "Brother Sun, please continue."
"This is what I think. The supermarket making money can't be hidden from the people who are interested. I am afraid that some people are already tempted. Should we implement our chain plan in advance?"
"So soon?"
Li Dong finally completely sobered up. Opening a supermarket chain was the future plan he mentioned when he invited Sun Tao to join.
However, Faraway Supermarket had only been open for a week. Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Is it too rushed? We did not prepare many things."
Sun Tao shook his head and disagreed, "Although it is a bit rushed, time does not wait for me. The reason why Faraway Supermarket can succeed is because it is the first supermarket in Dongping and monopolizes the entire Dongping market. Now, large supermarkets at home and abroad are still fighting for market share in the second and third tier cities. Once the dust settles, their eyes will fall on the county level. "
Li Dong suddenly became silent. He understood what Sun Tao said, but is it really good to take such a big step?
Once there is a risk, all his previous efforts will be in vain. Is it worth it?
Li Dong was thinking about the pros and cons. Sun Tao and Yang Yun were silent, waiting for Li Dong's decision. Li Dong was the owner of Faraway Supermarket.
