My husband and I have been married for 16 years. The relationship between husband and wife is no longer the state of you and me! But, in everything, he always consulted with me. After all, I'm a stooge! Therefore, I still have the right to speak in the big and small matters at home.
But! Recently, I started a business in partnership for 50,000 yuan. He and I have gone from quarreling to the Cold War and quarreling again! In his words, I am the most stubborn donkey in China! As long as I make up my mind to say no, no one is going to change my mind!
Actually, it's very simple! It is because of the company's dismal business this year that everyone wants to find another way out. So, my husband thought of opening a rice noodle shop again. This is the rice noodle shop he has been thinking about for more than ten years.
To this extent, I agree.
After all, from the perspective of company management, you can't really sit still! It is also necessary to find new investment directions.
Therefore, the two of them went all over the city to find stores that they recognized, tasted them, and paid attention to understanding the cooperation models of various brands.
I think very simply, with my own energy and ability, open a small shop first, as long as the cost is within 150,000, work hard, do it yourself and hire a helper, and strive to make achievements as soon as possible.
However, when we were constantly looking for a partner brand. Suddenly took on a new construction site, and the energy of the two people suddenly seemed to be lacking. I discussed with my husband and put the idea of opening a store on the go. Because the child is also in the second year of junior high school, it is a critical period, and if I open a store again, I am afraid that neither of us will have time to spend with the child. My husband also agreed with me and put aside the matter of opening the store for the time being.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, it is rare for the uncle to eat with us. The two families inevitably talked about their own dismal business, and we talked to my brother-in-law about the idea of opening a rice noodle shop recently.
As a result, he successfully whetted the appetite of the little uncle. Because of his storefront, business has been losing money this year. He is also struggling every day.
Therefore, he is also interested in this small investment storefront. The two families touted each other's views on the industry, which inevitably made people suddenly have confidence again!
"Simply! Tomorrow we're going to try the restaurant I've been eating a lot lately! If it feels right! Let's work together! The little uncle held his wine glass and said with a smile.
We both looked at each other and smiled, acquiescing to his offer.
On a hot day of more than 30 degrees, the two families tasted, found the brand, understood the investment amount and cooperation model, and so on. We roughly calculated that this store would need more than 200,000 yuan to open.
At this time, I was a little resistant to the cooperation model of this brand. Because of the overall accounting, the gross profit of this brand franchisee is only 30%. Moreover, it is only when the turnover is relatively good that there is a 30% profit.
That's a lot worse than the profit margin I expected. What's more, this is still the most ideal state! Obviously the risk is a bit too much!
And the husband and brother-in-law are discussing hotly that if the two families each pay more than 100,000 yuan to open a store, the pressure is a bit great, so it is better to find a few more partners. One invested 50,000 yuan to share the pressure.
At this time, I don't agree with this multi-person merger.
"A few of you are in stock, and I think it's hard to do things." I put forward my point of view.
"You don't understand! There are so many people! We share the risk and the pressure! When the time comes, you can choose a partner who specializes in store management. Others continue to work as usual, and it does not affect everyone's lives. "They say what they do.
I still don't think it's feasible.
Because, we and my uncle don't have a circle of friends that everyone intersects. That is to say, several people who join forces are strangers to each other. A few strangers, although they took out 50,000 yuan that was painless. However, let the partners with no management experience manage it, and do what they should do. As I listened, I thought it was throwing money into a pool.
Brand and raw materials, general direction management, etc., need to rely on the brand. And a few of our partners are quasi-novices.
I think that under the current market situation, even if it is the catering industry, you can change a group of novices in three months! For the brand, he has nothing to lose! And we spend real money to do an unfamiliar industry, or a group of blindly confident industry novices. In any case, it's hard to believe that you can start a successful business with one hit.
Therefore, I stick to my point of view and do not do this kind of multi-person joint stock business.
And my husband and brother-in-law think that I have long hair and short knowledge! Don't know how to be flexible! Don't know how to learn!
For the 50,000 yuan, the family began to smoke everywhere.
He felt that his plan was flawless, and I was an old antique who had no idea what their ambitions were!
But I know too well! The uncle is a nervous person, and it is impossible for her husband to have the time and energy to manage the storefront. That is to say, store management depends on another stranger you don't know! In my opinion, this kind of behavior is tantamount to playing at home!
I don't think entrepreneurship is an experiment!
Without six layers of certainty, you shouldn't put your money into it at all! Not even 50,000 yuan!
Sure enough, the popularity did not last for two days, and no one mentioned taking the initiative to communicate with the brand side for the cooperation behind it.
I asked my husband again: "If you go to a partner, it will make people think that you are taking the lead in starting a business." If you fail, your brother may not have much to say. The friends you brought in to start a business together are not easy to say. ”
When he heard this, he was very annoyed and said, "Could it be that I started a business alone?" It's a partnership! Do what you can! Do I still write an IOU to my partner for drought and flood protection? ”
Once a fight starts, it can't be stopped at all, and no one wants to listen to the other party's point of view!
Although the car stopped and went under her husband's skillful driving skills, the two people in the car were arguing loudly all the way...
I couldn't convince the other party, so I said, "Then you take 50,000 yuan." Go for it, I wish I was too worried! It's too suspicious! ”
He gripped the steering wheel in a rage and retorted loudly: "I don't want any money!" No more! When the time comes, if you fail, you will not let me go first! ”
In fact, even if I don't talk to him about these problems, this venture will not come to fruition! Because I knew that he didn't have the energy to find a partner one by one. His brother is a man who is pushed away in everything. No one has presided over this venture from beginning to end, and no one wants to do it by themselves!
Not having a backbone is a big problem!
After this quarrel that broke up unhappily, he gave me another label: unreasonable!
Through this quarrel, I know that men and women really do not think about problems with the same logic.
He said I was stubborn and refused to listen to other people's opinions.
I reflected for a long time, yes! Insecure behavior is tantamount to a landlubber testing the depth of water with its body!
I've heard the idea that entrepreneurship isn't perfect! As long as you have four layers of certainty, you can do it! However, a middle-aged woman of forty years old like me is completely immune to radicals!
Old, timid...
