Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 244 Supermarket (first update, please subscribe)

On the way to the destination, looking at the familiar street scene outside the window, Stana's mind would always reminisce about the scene of her encounter with Li. When she thought of those misunderstandings and coincidences, her face would be filled with a smile from time to time.

Occasionally, I will be a little distracted - because I miss you.

In fact, Stana has never missed a man as much as she does now. Even the longing for her husband in the past has never been so strong.

"Will this guy never return to London from now on?"

Thinking of this, Stana couldn't help but feel a little...sad.

Has he forgotten himself and Ji Li?

No, that guy must be too busy...

Ten minutes later, a group of people stood in a daze in front of a dilapidated old factory with a wide open roof. Chen An said in surprise:

"Madam, do you want to open a store here? Is this house still usable?"

"Yeah, Stana, this was bombed!"

Ji Li was no stranger to this factory. She and Stana had worked here. During the war, this was a factory specifically for the production of helmets. However, towards the end of the war, a German V2 missile It hit the factory, directly blowing up most of the roof and part of the outer wall. Originally, the factory owner planned to continue production after repairing it, but the war ended as soon as the wall was repaired.

Without military orders, the factory owners had no intention of repairing the factory and maintaining the factory's production. After all, all this required money, so the factory stopped working.

Looking at this factory, the collapsed roof has not been repaired, only the outer walls have been repaired, and the glass windows were all shattered during the bombing.

This factory used to specialize in the production of steel helmets and has the chimney of the heat treatment workshop next to it. There are also slogans from the war written on the wall:

"For the front line, please work hard."

Looking at the slogan, Stana thought of the scene when she first came to work here. At that time, in order to make a living, she could only live in a factory. Fortunately, she met him. Otherwise... Now she is forced to make a living, and she doesn't know what she would have done. Such things may lead to hooking up with an American and becoming the lover of an American soldier, just like a former neighbor did. She might even become a prostitute.

Thinking of the changes in her life after meeting Li, and the surprises that man brought to her again and again, she raised the corners of her mouth and said.

"So what if it was bombed? Ji Li, this factory is located in the triangle area, which is the intersection of three types of land prices. On one side are white-collar workers with higher incomes, while on the other side is the workers' area, and their incomes are also Relatively considerable, they are all our sales targets, and they are far away from the slums. It takes half an hour to take a bus to get to the nearest slums. The most important thing is that it is cheap..."

For a factory, this is a building with no repair value, but it is different for a supermarket.

"It only requires simple repairs. It is more cost-effective than renting tens of thousands of pounds a year. Even if you spend tens of thousands of pounds on renovations, you can still save a lot of money. Moreover, it doesn't cost much to rent here, and the area is large, even We can buy it.”

As she spoke, she pointed across the street and said.

"Look, we've only been here for a while, and there are already more than a dozen pedestrians passing by. It's working time now, and the bus stop is right here. I think the location is pretty good."

Maintenance only requires one investment, but paying commercial rent in a relatively prosperous area is a big expense. Chen An can certainly see which one is better between the two. After approaching the old factory, he walks through the big iron gate. Looking inside, there were still a lot of messy things on the ground. It was far from the store he imagined, but the location was quite good.

"After the restoration of this factory building facing the street, two walls were opened and used as a supermarket, while the factory building inside can be used as a warehouse. It is very convenient to reach the train station and port from here. As for the yard, it can be used as a parking lot. After the war, many People come to shop in their cars, and having a place to park is better than parking on the side of the road.

It has to be said that although she has never run a supermarket business, Stana can see the future at a glance. Supermarkets need parking lots. This is the future development trend. She even pointed to the tall chimney and said.

"As for the chimney, we don't need to demolish it. We can build a giant advertising sign on it. There are no high-rise buildings nearby. People can see our advertisement even if they are several miles away. This saves money." Big advertising dollars!”

For a moment, in Stana's words, this abandoned factory no longer had any shortcomings, only advantages remained. "Okay, I've decided, this is it. Chen An, you contact the lawyer and ask him to contact the factory owner, Mr. Cole, we want to buy this place."

Facing the boss's decision, Chen An asked tentatively.

"Well, do you need to ask Sandakan for instructions on this matter? After all..."

Before Chen An could finish speaking, Stana said directly.

"No need. Li said that I will be solely responsible for this matter. I think..."

Looking at the old factory building, Stana raised the corners of her mouth and said.

"When we meet again, there will be a surprise for him here!"

When she said these words, Stana's expression also changed somewhat, and even Ji Li on the side also noticed her changes.

This change came from the heart, because at this moment, something in her heart awakened. What was it?

It’s a woman’s desire for a career!

Stana is eager to have her own career or achieve some achievements, to prove to the man who has not been here for a long time that she can do something well.

Sometimes, the reason why some women focus on their careers is essentially to please men, and Stana is such a woman. She is not doing it for herself, but to prove how outstanding she is.

Sometimes the potential of some people is really unlimited. Now Stana doesn't know what career her potential will drive her to achieve, but the desire in her heart makes her full of motivation for the future.

When getting in the car, she felt the difference between her friends and Ji Li said to her,

"Stana, I feel like you are different from the past."

What's different?

Ji Li couldn't tell, but she could feel the changes in her good sisters.

"I'm just trying to figure something out..."

Stana said quite seriously.

"I feel that maybe I can do more things, such as this supermarket. Maybe, I can do things that even Li can't believe. By then..."

At that time, he must be very surprised!

More than just surprised, it was simply shocking. After all, when Stana was working hard to build these supermarkets, the construction of Borneo was also promoted step by step, and even the two of them complemented each other. When Borneo When products began to enter Europe on a large scale, it was when the supermarkets established in Europe in advance really opened up the sales market, and supermarkets became one of the most important channels for Borneo's industrial products to enter thousands of households.

Sometimes, many things need to be planned in advance, but sometimes even those who personally planned them never thought that many things would far exceed their expectations...
