A small steamed bun shop has such great business opportunities and legends.

Walking on the streets or communities in Shanghai at will, you can see that many license plates begin with the word "Anhui".

When waiting for the bus, taking the bus or taking the subway, you can hear the voice of your hometown accent. There are local accents and homesickness everywhere, and it feels particularly cordial. I often feel that the prosperity of Greater Shanghai cannot be separated from the hard work of Anhui people!

I have proudly told my colleagues countless times that all the people who make snacks near the company are my fellow villagers. They think you Anhui people are really smart, capable and hardworking. No wonder you Huizhou merchants are quite influential in history.

A colleague asked if breakfast makers in the vegetable market were the same. Of course it is! I replied that 90% of the buns shops you saw were in Anqing, Anhui, even though the signs were Korean buns, Tianjin buns and bite buns.

They talked about the story of Liu Huiping, the founder of Barbie Steamed Bread. It is said that he rented the appearance room of a TV station in Shanghai. By chance, a powerful person took a fancy to his good business and asked him to become a famous brand in Shanghai through a partnership plan. At first Liu thought he was a liar, but he didn't agree anyway. Later, I was moved by the sincerity of the other party and the brand planning plan prepared in advance.

They began to register the brand trademark, which is now Bobby Steamed Bun, and then vigorously promoted it in newspapers and media in Shanghai, from one franchise store to two, five or ten ... After so many years of continuous development, reform and upgrading.

Nowadays, "Barbie Bun" has exceeded 700 stores in Shanghai alone, taking Shanghai as the central base and extending to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which may cover major cities in the country in the future.

Wenzhou's "Duxiu Steamed Bread", "Laotaimen", "Lang Mai" and "Sanweizhai" all created brands, put in advertisements and adopted the mode of joining.

It is undeniable that these small shops and steamed buns provide convenience for the general public to go to work. Usually, there are at least 15 kinds of fillings in steamed stuffed bun shops, such as braised pork with plum vegetables, beef vermicelli, lotus root, potato, eggplant, pearl steamed bread and flower rolls, all of which are complete in variety, delicious in taste and reasonable in price, and have to queue for a long time every morning.

It was said by relatives and elders that the previous generation of Jiang Town and Hong Town in Huaining, Anhui Province, because of the extremely poor land resources, could not make ends meet. In order to find other ways of living, that generation went out to make steamed buns, probably 1992. In those years, there was no steam stove, electric stove, dough mixer or dough mixer.

Day after day, year after year, today's Huaining County in Anhui Province can be regarded as one of the richest counties in Anhui Province. Their descendants have a better material foundation. Many people who cook breakfast now have houses, cars and several houses, and they are rich in financial resources.

Houses in Anqing, Hefei and other cities, these self-employed steamed buns are paid in full. Compared with those white-collar workers who go to work, the monthly mortgage depends on the garage, which is much more nourishing and chic.

Self-employed people who do small catering business can hardly get any credit cards, let alone pay back their car loans and mortgages, because their daily income is cash. Everyone should know that the profit of the catering industry is between 50% and 70%, because it includes labor costs. The more water you eat, the more profitable it is, such as soybean milk, milk tea, porridge, chaos and Lamian Noodles. There is a saying that water is not enough!

In Shanghai, a breakfast shop that can maintain its business has a daily turnover of at least 2,000 yuan. Like the busy station pedestrian street vegetable market, their rental cost is more expensive, and the product price will certainly increase accordingly. It is normal that the daily turnover reaches more than 10,000 yuan, and the breakfast shop in Shanghai and Nanjing has a turnover of more than 20,000 yuan.

The main advantage of the catering industry is pay-as-you-go and no inventory pressure. After selling a bag of noodles in the afternoon, you will know how much you have earned, because it includes labor costs, and there is no such thing as losing money, thanks to some time. For example, after spending 80,000 yuan to invest in a 15 flat store, the business has not reached the expected ideal for two months, so you can choose to transfer the store out, and the funds can still be recovered.

Take the catering industry as an example. If the rent of a store in January is 10000 yuan, then your store turnover in January must be at least 100000 yuan to make a profit, that is, the store rent × 10 is equal to the capital preservation.

For example, the couple in my hometown downstairs, their rent is 12000 yuan per month, and their turnover is between 2500-3500 yuan. During the morning rush hour, they hired an aunt to help them make freshly ground soybean milk, which is a part-time job, that is, rent is their biggest expense. The proprietress and I know each other very well. She said they could earn 200,000 a year.

In fact, many relatives in my family are in this line of work, until they make several packets of flour. I buy soybean milk, zongzi and steamed buns from her house every day, and I can probably calculate their net income. 200,000 is conservative.

Of course, a very profitable restaurant must first have a good location. Their rent is paid once a year, plus transfer fee, franchise fee, equipment, etc. A good location will inevitably require high investment. As long as the flow of people is strong enough, the taste is authentic enough and the hygiene is clean enough, there will still be money.

Jiangzhen Town and Hongzhen Town in Huaining, Anhui Province are the birthplaces of making steamed buns, and have the reputation of "Hometown of Steamed Bread in China". All the techniques of steamed stuffed bun were spread from here, and people from nearby towns and villages such as Gaohe, Wangjiang, Dadukou, Liu Dong and Tongcheng gradually spread farther and wider from here. ...

Out of Huaining, out of Anhui, out of the country, and even out of the inland, it cannot be said that this is the pride of Huaining people and Anqing people! The pride of Anhui people!

As Liu Huiping, the founder of Barbie Bun, said on a wealth column on TV, "I want to sell hamburgers in China to the international market!"

We are blessed, and we are looking forward to it!

Now that you're here, give me a compliment before you leave! Thank you very much.
