No matter what era it was, shops that were downtown had no need to worry about rent. Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng strolled around for two to three hours, but they didn’t see anyone renting out anything.
When it was time to eat, Xiao Sheng pulled Yu Bing into the noodle shop by the roadside. “Let’s eat first.”
Because she had no idea what to do next, Yu Bing was feeling vexed. “I don’t have an appetite. You can eat yourself.”
Xiao Sheng pressed Yu Bing’s shoulder to make her sit on the stool in front of the dining table. Then, he said mysteriously, “Don’t worry, I’ve thought of a way, but I can only tell you after you eat dinner.”
Yu Bing looked at Xiao Sheng suspiciously. Xiao Sheng moved the menu to Yu Bing and said, “Order what you want to eat. If it’s too late, the restaurants will close and you’ll only be able to eat the bland food in the guesthouse.”
The guest house also had food, but it didn’t taste very good. Therefore, Yu Bing took the menu and said, “I want a bowl of braised beef noodles.”
After Xiao Sheng made his choice, he queued up to place an order.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Sheng placed two bowls of noodles on the table. Yu Bing couldn’t help but ask again, “Tell me the solution you came up with.”
Xiao Sheng knew that if he didn’t say it, Yu Bing wouldn’t feel at ease eating this meal, so he didn’t hide it anymore. “I think our direction is too limited. We shouldn’t just look around downtown. There are indeed a lot of people there, so it’s easier for others to see our brand. However, as you can see, everything we can see is rented out already.”
Yu Bing pursed her lips and thought for a moment before agreeing to Xiao Sheng’s suggestion.
The shops were all state-owned. Since they didn’t close down, they naturally wouldn’t vacate the shops unless the shops needed to be moved to another address. However, Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng were here on a business trip to choose a location, so they couldn’t keep waiting forever.
Because they no longer considered the downtown location, the range of locations expanded substantially. Yu Bing took out the map from her bag and said, “In that case…”
Xiao Sheng placed the map on the table beside him. Then, he looked at Yu Bing gently as he said firmly, “Eat noodles first! It won’t taste good anymore if it’s mushy.”
Yu Bing frowned when she thought of this. Mushy noodles would be a waste of money, so she picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating.
After Yu Bing hurriedly finished the noodles, she studied the map. “These factories are very scattered. We have to find a relatively concentrated place.”
Xiao Sheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before suggesting, “Actually, we can also find the factory with the most workers and the best employee benefits in City C and collaborate with the supply company closest to that factory. As long as we let them display our goods and coupled with the advertisement created by our image shop, we can start to venture into City C’s market.”
Yu Bing’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “If the employee benefits are good. When the workers have money, they will naturally go to the supply company to spend it. Good idea! We’ve opened ten offices at once now. If the number of orders increases, it will be a little difficult for the food factory to supply them. Although the marketing effect will be delayed if we’re far from the city center, there are benefits to taking things slow. Moreover, the rent is relatively cheaper.”
Thinking about it this way, this choice seemed quite appropriate for the situation. Now, the main problem was to find a large factory that met the requirements.
The two of them walked out of the noodle shop while looking at the map. They discussed going to the entrances of the various factories if it really didn’t work out.
At this moment, Yu Bing turned around and saw a group of middle-aged people gathered under a tree in the distance. Yu Bing had an idea and turned around to walk towards a small shop she had seen previously.
Xiao Sheng followed with a puzzled expression. Then, he saw Yu Bing buy two pounds of mung bean cake.
Be it in the city or the countryside, it seemed to be a habit for people to chat in groups under the tree after dinner. There were ten to twenty people chatting, so it was the local information exchange center!
They gossiped about relationships, factories in the city, and what employee benefits were given this month. New policies issued by the government were their favorite topics of conversation after meals.
