Chapter XXXVIII

Today, the main purpose of his gathering of people is to recognize people, and when the province opens, he doesn't even know the store manager.

And it is also to observe the ability of everyone, although there is not much to see in a few simple words, but Wang Ke probably has a number in his heart.

Although he trusts Li Ming, he can't let him call the shots, sometimes it's a bad thing to let power go too far.

......

When Wang Ke arrived home, Qin Ping and Chen Guohua had just returned.

The convenience store of the old couple has been open for almost half a month, and the convenience store is small, and the decoration is much faster than several branches of the department store.

Seeing Wang Ke enter the door, Qin Ping and Chen Guohua were a little surprised, but Wang Ke didn't tell them when he came back.

Qin Ping hurriedly asked, "Dongzi, why did you come back without saying a word." ”

Wang Ke replied while changing his shoes: "Tomorrow a few branches will open, I'll come back and have a look." ”

"You're about to open?"

Chen Guohua didn't know about this yet, and said with some curiosity: "Last time you said on the phone that the provincial capital was going to open a new store, where did you get so much money?"

"Of course it's earned, it's not a lot of money. Wang Ke is also difficult to explain, he withheld the money for the goods and the shopping card.

If his parents found out, he wouldn't have to worry about death, so Wang Ke hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Dad, how is the convenience store business?"

Speaking of the convenience store, Chen Guohua also forgot to ask about the money, and said happily: "The business is very good, your mother and I will sit and collect money, and we can sell it for two or three thousand a day." ”

"Two or three thousand?"

Wang Ke frowned slightly, a small supermarket of dozens of square meters, and there is no competitive pressure, it stands to reason that a daily turnover of four or five thousand is not much, why are there so few convenience stores in his own house.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Ke asked, "Dad, are there many people who come to buy things?"

"Well, it's quite a lot, and there are people in several nearby communities who come to buy it, but your mother and I can't keep busy......"

After Chen Guohua finished speaking, Wang Ke understood, and said helplessly: "Dad, if you can't be busy, hire someone! Don't be reluctant to spend money, hire someone to spend as much as you can." ”

"Now it's seven or eight hundred months to hire people, and your mother and I are not busy at the age. Chen Guohua retorted.

Wang Ke was speechless and explained: "Dad, it's not difficult for you to hire someone to sell an extra thousand things a day, right?"

Chen Guohua thought about it for a while, and felt that the problem should not be big, so he nodded.

"Isn't that enough! You have 20 percent of the profit from selling things, 1,000 a day, the profit is 200, and the income is 6,000 yuan a month, do you think it is cost-effective to hire people?"

It's not that Chen Guohua doesn't know how to calculate this account, it's just that he didn't react for a while, and he just thought about hiring someone to spend money.

Hearing his son say this, Chen Guohua slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I remember this stubble, I lost half a month!"

Qin Ping next to him glanced at him and snorted, "I told you earlier, but you still don't listen to me." ”

Chen Guohua snorted, in hindsight, just talking about hiring people doesn't say a word, who listens to you.

But I thought about it in my heart, and I didn't dare to say it.

Wang Ke smiled and didn't say much when he saw this, because he had to get up early tomorrow to go to Lanhai, Wang Ke chatted with his parents for a while and then went into the room to rest.

At half past six the next morning, Wang Ke left for the station to take the train.

Sitting in the car, Wang Ke couldn't help but think: Is it time for me to buy a car?

Whether it's returning to Lindong from Pingchuan or inspecting the branches, it's really inconvenient to have a car.

Just like now, when I am the boss of my own house, I have to catch a bus when I go to the Lanhai branch, and I don't laugh to death when I am seen.

......

The one who came to pick up Wang Ke at the station was the store manager Xie Hui.

Xie Hui has his own car, Volkswagen's, although it is not expensive, but it is also a car family.

Seeing Wang Ke get off the bus, Xie Hui wanted to speak and stopped.

Wang Ke saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, obviously holding back a smile, knowing what he was thinking, he said angrily: "I don't understand this thrift! Department stores now need money for development, and you don't know how to waste it if I'm not in charge!"

Xie Hui nodded hurriedly and catered to a few words against his will.

Because he is not familiar with Wang Ke, he is still his top boss, and Xie Hui does not dare to joke.

Wang Ke was depressed, he had already known that he had driven Li Ming's Audi, so he could support himself to support the scene, and now it is really embarrassing.

......

Lanhai Bus Station is not too far from the department store Lanhai store, about ten minutes by car.

There was nothing to say all the way, and soon the two of them arrived at the Lanhai branch.

The area of the new store in Lanhai is the largest of the four branches, and the total area is even larger than that of Lindong, with a usable area of nearly 3,500 square meters on the upper and lower floors.

Wang Ke looked at the time when he got out of the car, 7:50, the opening time was set at 8:08, and it was about to open in more than ten minutes.

Xie Hui led Wang Ke into the store, because it opened today, this guy also ingeniously asked a few good employees to wear red cheongsams to welcome them at the door.

Seeing the store manager accompanying Wang Ke into the store, several greetings looked a little curious.

Seeing this, Xie Hui scolded secretly, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Wang came to preside over the opening of the branch today, and he didn't say hello!"

A few greeters suddenly realized that it was the big boss who had arrived, and the store manager had said it in the morning when he had a meeting.

However, because Wang Ke was too young, they didn't react before.

At this time, knowing Wang Ke's identity, several people hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Wang is good!"

Wang Ke nodded, he almost didn't interfere in the recruitment of employees in several branches, and even the store manager was the first time he had seen them, not to mention these employees.

Several employees at the door of the store were placing flower baskets, and Wang Ke was a little surprised that the Peace Group also sent flower baskets, which was strange.

He and the Peace Group are just a tenant and a landlord, and the flower basket sent by the Peace Group in the name of the company is enough to save face.

After all, compared with peace, department stores are still toddlers, and they will not be looked at by the big group of peace at all.

Xie Hui saw Wang Ke staring at the oversized flower basket of the Peace Group, and hurriedly said: "This was sent by the Peace Office in the morning, and the flower basket was put down and left." ”

Wang Ke nodded and didn't say anything, but he wrote it down in his heart.

After entering the store, Xie Hui asked, "Mr. Wang, do you want to call a meeting with employees?"

Wang Ke looked at his watch again, it was almost eight o'clock, and said, "Don't bother, I'll go around by myself." ”

As soon as the words fell, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old girl ran in front of her, wearing a department store staff uniform.

Seeing Wang Ke, he didn't stop, but said to Xie Hui urgently: "Store manager, it's trouble!"

Xie Hui saw that his employees were out of shape at this time, and felt that they had lost face in front of the boss, and immediately scolded: "What's the hurry!

After that, he explained to Wang Ke: "This is Liu Jia, the assistant in the store, who is new and doesn't understand the rules." ”

Wang Ke smiled, the whole store is new, and the staff is of course new.

However, he didn't laugh at Xie Hui, but asked, "Assistant Chen, tell me, what's the trouble?"

Liu Jia learned that the young man in front of him was Mr. Wang, and he was also afraid of his recklessness just now, but when he saw Wang Ke's gentle tone, he was slightly relieved.

After being relieved, Liu Jia remembered that Wang Kezheng was asking, and hurriedly said: "I just passed by the century, and today I started a big promotion, shopping 195% off, 188% off!"

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, Wang Ke and Xie Hui's faces changed.

Xie Hui was even more angry and said: "Shameless! Engaging in promotions every year is clearly aimed at us!"

Although Wang Ke's face was a little ugly, he gradually eased up, and said calmly: "It's their freedom to engage in promotions or not, but they can't mess it up on the first day of opening." ”

The first day is the time to make a name for yourself, and if the response is mediocre, it will be difficult to turn the situation around.

"Aren't we also discounted when we open, they don't have an advantage in terms ......of price," Xie Hui said halfway through and didn't continue.

There is no difference in price, but the difference between word-of-mouth and popularity is huge.

The two stores have been open for a year or two, and both the customer base and the word of mouth have been erected.

As soon as the department store entered the market, the only price advantage was also tied by the two promotions, so the department store was completely at a disadvantage.

At the same price, consumers will naturally choose those big brands, just like Wang Ke easily defeated Longsheng in Lindong.

Wang Ke pondered for a moment, what is the way to redeem the advantage?

It's no fun to continue to fight the price war, 88% off is already the bottom line, and if you reduce the price, you don't want to say whether you can win, and Wang Ke doesn't want to do a business that doesn't make money.

And the price war is too harmful, if you don't do it, you will lose both, and Wang Ke is not willing to fight with those two families.

Seeing that the opening time is approaching, the outside of the store is completely different from the crowds when it opened in winter.

Wang Ke frowned a little, did he just admit it?
