The small steamed stuffed bun shop has such huge business opportunities and legends.

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

When waiting for the bus, taking the bus or taking the subway, you can hear the voice of your hometown accent. Homesickness and homesickness are 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 found 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, he was moved by the sincerity of the other party and the brand planning plan prepared in advance.

They began to register this brand trademark, which is now Barbie Steamed Bread, 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 established brands, invested in advertisements and adopted the franchise mode.

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. These fillings are all available, with complete varieties, delicious taste and reasonable prices, and they have to queue for a long time every morning.

I heard from my relatives and elders that the previous generation in Jiangzhen and Hongzhen, Huaining, Anhui, was extremely short of land resources and could not make ends meet. In order to find other ways of living, that generation went out to make steamed buns, about 1992. In those years, there was no steam stove, electric stove, dough mixer and 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. Nowadays, many people who cook breakfast have houses, cars and several houses, and their financial resources are rich and generous.

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 repayment depends on the garage, which is much more nourishing and natural.

Self-employed people who do small catering business can hardly get any credit cards, let alone pay back 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 money you make, such as soybean milk, milk tea, porridge, chaos and Lamian Noodles. There is a saying that there is not enough water to make it!

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 definitely increase accordingly. It is normal that the daily turnover reaches more than 1 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 money you have earned, because it includes labor costs and there is no so-called loss, thanks to some time. For example, if you spend 80,000 yuan to invest in a storefront with a flat size of 15, and the business has not reached the expected ideal after two months of opening, you can choose to transfer the storefront, and the funds can still be recovered.

Take the catering industry as an example. If the rent of a store in January is 1 10,000 yuan, then your store turnover in January must reach at least110,000 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 and 3500 yuan. During the morning rush hour, they hired their aunt to help them make freshly ground soybean milk, which is an hourly job, that is to say, rent is their biggest expense. The proprietress and I know each other very well. She said they could earn 200,000 yuan 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 bread 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 and equipment fee. A good location will inevitably require high investment. As long as the flow of people is large 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 cradles of 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 counties, such as Gaohe, Wangjiang, Dadukou, Liu Dong and Tongcheng, also gradually spread from here. ...

Out of Huaining, out of Anhui, to all parts of the country, and even out of the inland, we have to say that this is the pride of Huaining people and Anqing people! The pride of Anhui people!

As Liu Huiping, the founder of Barbie, said in the TV Fortune column, "I want to push China's hamburgers to the international market!"

Blessed are we, and we look forward to it!

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