Chapter 35 Holding the Golden Rice Bowl and Asking for Food
"What, Assistant Tang thinks Xiao Huang's idea is feasible?"
Zhang Jianyang couldn't help but ask when he saw Tang Zifeng and Huang Liting singing and harmonizing, quite harmonious.
Tang Zifeng nodded and said, "Master Huang's idea is very good. In fact, when I visited the whole store with Manager Zhang just now, I also had this idea, but I unexpectedly saw the same thing as Master Huang's hero. β
"What kind of hero am I? I'm just an uneducated family worker, how can I compare to Assistant Tang's knowledge and insight. Huang Liting hurriedly humbled herself, but her flushed face and irrepressible smile revealed her true thoughts. It seems that Tang Zifeng said that she is a hero, and this evaluation makes her quite useful.
Tang Zifeng continued: "Just now Master Huang asked me what a supermarket is, and I will explain it to you here. Supermarket is the abbreviation of supermarket, which is a very popular business format in foreign countries. There are several aspects to the characteristics of supermarkets. First, it is open to the public, which is the model of a self-selected store as described by Master Huang. The supermarket will be equipped with a shopping basket or shopping cart, and customers can choose the goods they need, and then settle at the exit, which can fully save manpower, improve the utilization rate of the store, and stimulate the customer's desire to buy. β
"I'm talking nonsense. Huang Liting said hypocritically and modestly again.
"Second, it provides a one-stop-shop model. That is to say, its variety of goods is very complete, basically covering all kinds of commodities needed by ordinary people in their daily lives. Customers come to this supermarket and can buy everything in one go, without having to go to several places. As a result, people are not willing to go to the scattered stores to buy, but prefer to go to the supermarket. β
Huang Liting had already quickly taken a stack of manuscript paper and a ballpoint pen from Zheng Bin's desk and began to take notes. Tang Zifeng said this concept, she also thought vaguely, but not deeply enough. Now listening to Tang Zifeng, she has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and she has more confidence in the conversion of the contracted store to a supermarket.
"Third, supermarkets should provide customers with a good shopping experience. To put it simply, the store should be beautiful, clean, and bright, so that people want to walk inside. The longer they shop, the more likely they are to find more things they want to buy. If your store is dirty and smelly, and people come in and want to leave, how are you going to sell things?"
"Yes, yes, I watched it in that TV series, the shopping malls in the United States, it is comfortable to watch, and I want to go shopping without buying anything. Now listening to Assistant Tang, it's a supermarket in the United States, right?" Huang Liting said excitedly.
"That's right, that's the case with the big supermarkets in the United States. "In addition, the supermarket will also have longer operating hours, and it can be operated until 10 or 11 o'clock in the evening." Some people go out for a walk after dinner in the evening, and they can stop by the supermarket to buy something, which is not only convenient for customers, but also increases the turnover of the supermarket. β
"Great!" Huang Liting said, she turned her head to Zhang Jianyang, and said in a somewhat pleading tone: "Manager Zhang, you see that Assistant Tang agrees with my idea, can the company agree with me to contract the store in the East District? I think about it, if our store in the East District is transformed into a supermarket according to the method said by Assistant Tang, not only the families of the workers in our factory will come to buy things, but the surrounding residents will also come to buy things, not to mention the gross profit of 100,000 yuan a year, I am confident that it will reach 200,000 yuan." β
"Assistant Tang, what do you see?" asked Zhang Jianyang to Tang Zifeng. To be honest, he was also moved by the scene described by Tang Zifeng, if Tang Zifeng's vision can be realized, it will be difficult for this supermarket to become popular. Whether there is a gross profit of 200,000 a year, he dare not say, but there is no suspense about turning losses into profits.
Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "Regarding this issue, it still depends on Master Huang's determination. If Master Huang thinks about it, dares to make a military order with the company, and takes out all his net worth to guarantee, I think she can try it. Master Huang, what do you think?"
"All the net worth?" Huang Liting's face changed a little, this bet is a bit big, she can't afford to lose.
Tang Zifeng didn't force her, but stood up and said: "Let's talk about this today, about this issue, I think Master Huang had better think about it again, and then put forward a contract request to the company when he is mature." Let me put it this way, Master Huang, if you take this step, the trajectory of your life will change completely. It's entirely possible that you could become a millionaire, or even a multi-millionaire, because of it. However, it is precisely because of this opportunity that I hope you will think twice, don't be impulsive, impulsively kill meow. β
Impulsiveness kills meows?
A few people are dizzy, why is there still a meow here?
Huang Liting left Zheng Bin's office in a daze, and Tang Zifeng's last words made her completely enter a state of blank thinking. Previously, she just wanted to earn 35,000 by contracting stores, so that her family could become a wealthy family. The idea of opening a self-selected store was what she had read from the newspaper, and she felt that it was feasible and hoped to have the opportunity to try it.
But the supermarket model introduced to her by Tang Zifeng opened her horizons and made her realize that the benefits that this opportunity could bring were ten or a hundred times more than she originally expected. Tang Zifeng said that if she takes this step, she is likely to become a millionaire or even a multimillionaire. She felt that this was completely beyond her knowledge. What kind of life is it to have a million assets?
Give a poor man 100 yuan and he will be happy, give a poor man 1,000 yuan and he will be ecstatic, give a poor man 1 million yuan and he will only feel so frightened that he completely loses the ability to think.
Huang Liting's current state is like this.
"Assistant Tang, do you think Huang Liting's idea is really feasible?"
Seeing Huang Liting leaving, Zhang Jianyang asked again.
Tang Zifeng said: "I don't dare to say whether she can open the supermarket well." But the supermarket model is certainly promising. The store in the East District has a business area of more than 1,000 square meters, and there is also an equally large warehouse, which can be opened up into a business space when needed, how can it be possible to lose money when opening a supermarket? I say this, such a large house, rented to others as a faΓ§ade room, is more than 50,000 yuan a year. You are simply holding a golden rice bowl and asking for food. β
Assistant Tang was right in his criticism. Zheng Bin reviewed again, "It was my job that I didn't do well and failed to live up to the expectations of the factory and the company." β
"This is not to blame Lao Zheng. Zhang Jianyang explained for him, "This is our rigid thinking in the past, obviously there are so many ways, we just can't think of it." Fortunately, Assistant Tang pointed out a clear path for us, otherwise we would really be sorry for the high hopes of the factory. β
"The wisdom of the masses is boundless. Tang Zifeng said, "As long as you can link their interests with the efficiency of the unit, they will try to improve the operation of the unit." Like this Huang Liting, her business vision is very good, and she also analyzes the management problems of the store very thoroughly. Such a person, if she can be given a chance, she should be able to create miracles. β
"However, if Huang Liting is really asked to contract the store, then what will happen to the employees of the store now?" Zheng Bin asked uneasily.
Tang Zifeng said: "If you want to agree to her contract, of course, you have to have conditions. The retention of all existing staff is a minimum requirement. The price of goods cannot be sky-high, and the families of workers in the factory cannot be harmed, which is also a minimum requirement. After all, labor service companies also have a social function. β
"But what if the workers don't listen to her?" Zheng Bin continued.
Tang Zifeng said: "This is another side. We require her to retain her existing staff, but at the same time, we also require her to obey management. If you don't obey, then you can only be fired, and no unit can tolerate disobedience, right?"
"That's a problem. Zhang Jianyang muttered.
Tang Zifeng said: "For example, Huang Liting just said about procurement, your purchaser, called Jiao Hefen, why does he specialize in purchasing some unsalable goods, Manager Zheng, do you know the reason?"
Zheng Bin's old face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "I have also learned about this, she did take some benefits from others, so she purchased those unsalable goods." I've criticized her several times about this. β
"Such a person, if you don't expel her, you still keep her for the New Year?" Tang Zifeng asked in a raised tone.
Zhang Jianyang smiled bitterly: "Well, Lao Zheng also has his difficulties. This Jiao Xuefen's lover is Lao Liu of the Administration Office, and he is also an old comrade, let's not look at the monk's face, but also the Buddha's face, right?"
"I sell cakes!" Tang Zifeng stroked his forehead with his hand.
"Assistant Tang, you have always worked above, and you don't understand the difficulties below us. Lao Liu is still very down-to-earth in his work, and the relationship between the masses is also good, so ......" Zheng Bin was still explaining.
Tang Zifeng said: "You don't have to tell me about these situations. I will say a principle, if the labor service company agrees to let Huang Liting contract, then give her the necessary powers. If the original employee did not violate labor discipline, she could not be dismissed at will. But if you are like Jiao Xuefen, who eats inside and outside, takes the benefits of others, and purchases some unsalable goods, then it will definitely be killed. As for what you said about how Lao Liu works steadfastly, you can take care of his family, just transfer Jiao Xuefen to other units. β
"I see. Zhang Jianyang hurriedly agreed, in fact, he could think of this kind of treatment, and there was no difficulty.
Zheng Bin has no opinion on Huang Liting's request to contract the store. He was not interested in the position of store manager, but the factory arranged for him to be the manager, and he was in charge. If Huang Liting contracted the store, it would be a big deal for him to go to the headquarters of the labor service company to take up some position.
