Chapter 16: Forced to Expand
PS: Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm a little delayed, and I apologize to you again for 120,000 points.
————————————
Chen Geng invited several second-hand car dealers to come up and ride this Ferrari 212 with him, but the result was not very good, no one dared to come up, not only these second-hand car dealers, but even those customers who came to buy and sell cars, and employees in the company found various reasons to refuse to come up.
So there was a strange scene on the streets of Detroit: a black Ferrari that looked quite old was driving at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour at the front, followed by a convoy at least a few kilometers long, and the people in each car stretched their necks to look ahead.
This strange convoy even alarmed the Detroit police, and thought it was some kind of demonstration of the police, the dog bite the ass and rushed up to understand the situation, after learning that these people behind were to see if a "car of doom" was removed from the doom and curse, the police's police car became a member of the convoy......
Chen Geng, who was at the front, burst into tears in his heart: Nima!
Chen never imagined how much the removal of doom and curse that he had carried out in order to sell the Ferrari 212 Inter Cabriolet for a good price would have on his business: now half of the people of Detroit know that there is a Chinese man, a mage from the mysterious East, with mysterious and profound mana, who can remove the doom and curse from the car of doom......
You don't believe it?
He drove the Ramirez family's Satan-cursed Ferrari 212 Inter Cabriolet on the street every day for more than a week, and still there was nothing at all, what does this mean? This shows that this Chinese man really has magic power, otherwise he would have had a car accident a long time ago.
Everyone is willing to go to a car dealership driven by an oriental magician with powerful mana to buy a car, even if he may not have given any blessing to the car he bought, but at least with him, those bad luck, curses, or something will definitely not find him, right? and...... Buying a car at whose house is not buying, since this is the case, then pick a pleasing one.
Obviously, Chen Geng is the one who is pleasing to the eye.
With this mentality of "even if it won't be good, it won't be bad", the daily transaction volume of Chen Geng's second-hand car dealership has been rising, with 10, 15, 18, 20, and 25 cars...... In just half a month, the daily transaction volume of used cars of Fernandez Automobile Sales Company exceeded 30, and this number has not fallen in the following time, and there was even a "blowout" data with a daily transaction volume of more than 40 vehicles.
As a result, there is also a siphon effect among used car buyers, sellers, and potential consumers in Detroit:
The more consumers who come to Fernandez Automobile Sales Company to buy a car, the more willing those potential car buyers are to come to Fernandez Company to buy a car, the reason is very simple, since everyone chooses Fernandez Company, it must be because their company is good, what their company also has four commitments, the whole vehicle warranty is half a year, and the maintenance is free of working hours within two years, and only the cost of spare parts is charged? Even if the price is a little higher, it doesn't matter, at least rest assured;
As for the seller, it is also similar to the psychology, although the purchase price offered by Fernandez may not be as high as the purchase price of other second-hand car dealers, but it can't stand the fast speed of Fernandez company to sell cars, whether it is placed here for consignment or sold directly to Fernandez company, you can get the money as soon as possible, which is incomparable with other second-hand car dealers.
More and more sellers and buyers are choosing to cooperate with Fernandez, so Chen Geng should be very happy, right?
But the actual situation is not like this, although Chen Geng is happy, but more of a headache: there is not enough space.
Not enough space?
That's right, there's just not enough space.
At the beginning, the property that Chen Geng subleased from White can park more than 30 cars, which is the standard operating specification of a small and micro second-hand car dealership, but now, the size of this property is obviously not enough to meet the business needs of Fernandez Automobile Company.
Ms. Rachel, who had just been promoted to sales manager a few days ago, made a suggestion: "100 cars! Boss, our new site must have at least a large open space that can accommodate 100 cars. In addition to the acquisition of vehicles and the parking needs of our customers, we also need to have an indoor parking lot that can accommodate 10 to 20 cars, so that we can put some high-quality and high-quality vehicles in a room with better parking conditions, and only such a space can meet the business needs of our sales department......"
Following on the heels of Miss Rachel, who had just been promoted to Sales Manager, Bob, the Maintenance Manager, also offered his opinion: "Boss, we not only need a large enough place to park, but we also need a large vehicle repair and maintenance workshop, with our current business volume, we need at least 10 lifts, but for the sake of future business growth, I recommend that you set up a large comprehensive maintenance workshop with at least 20 lifts in one step."
Also, our maintenance department is seriously understaffed, the entire maintenance workshop, including me and Mr. Anderson, there are only 4 people, we have been working more than 16 hours a day for more than half a month, it is really too tiring, you have to add at least 10 more people to us to meet the basic needs. ”
Although he has earned at least 4,000 US dollars in the past half a month, and seeing that his income this month has properly exceeded 8,000, which is a figure that even the professional managers of those large groups can't get, it is said that Bob should be very happy, but at this time he is tired and unhappy, he would rather earn less, he would rather earn so much in a month, and he does not want to be so tired, he is afraid that he will die of exhaustion at work.
The black buddy Joshua followed behind and added faintly: "Our cleaning department is also seriously understaffed, although there are students who come to work part-time, as well as Mr. Statham and his comrades often come to help, but the manpower is still insufficient, we also need to add at least 2 full-time cleaning personnel, considering the vacation, I think adding three people is a more reasonable number......"
It's Statham, who is now Chen Geng's driver, bodyguard, company security guard, car washer, maintenance worker, and salesman...... and other guys in one, he didn't say a word, and he was very satisfied with his current state.
He has earned more than $3,000 in the past half a month, and it is estimated that he can earn $7,000 after the end of this month, which is almost equivalent to the income of some low-income groups in a year.
Chen Geng rubbed his temples with a headache, who would have thought that Lao Tzu would cause such a big trouble just by pretending to be a Taoist priest?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it, although the speed of the company's development is somewhat unexpected, but it is not a bad thing anyway, and then again, it is indeed time for the company to expand.
"The expansion of the company is a must," Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "If you work hard for a few more days, I will immediately contact the bank and intermediaries to find a suitable place as a new location for our company, and we will make a development plan for my department as soon as possible."
Mr. Bob, when you go back, you'll work with Mr. Anderson on the development of your department, keeping in mind that your maintenance department will be independent as an open subsidiary at the right time. ”
Bob was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded: "OK, I know, I'll make a plan when I get back." ”
"Experienced maintenance workers and engineers are the focus, and the personnel reserve must not delay the next expansion," Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "At that time, the company will outsource the maintenance and inspection business to you to operate, and when the chain is dropped, I will be the first to dispose of you and Anderson." ”
Joshua and Rachel immediately looked at Bob with envy: although the boss put a lot of pressure on Bob, after the maintenance department became independent as a subsidiary, he Bob was undoubtedly the manager of the new company, and Anderson was the deputy manager, although he was a manager like himself, but he had much more authority than himself, and he couldn't help but be envious.
Anderson also understood this truth, but instead of being frustrated, he was excited, and nodded heavily: "Boss, I won't let you down." ”
Joshua and Rachel's eyes did not hide from Chen Geng, Chen Geng continued: "Miss Rachel, you are the same, although it is impossible for your sales department to go out independently, but the company's current development momentum is so good, it is impossible to have only one company, I hope to open at least two branches within two months, and your sales department must be ready." ”
Miss Rachel, who also realized that her opportunity had come, agreed happily, and did not forget to look at her black buddy Joshua provocatively - in her opinion, probably Joshua's cleaning department was the most unpromising department.
Also, what is the future of a department specializing in car washing? Even Joshua himself thinks so, but he knows his pounds very well, and he is also very satisfied with his current state, a black man who didn't go to college, can now get such a high salary, what is there to be dissatisfied with? He didn't care about Rachel's provocation.
But the next moment, Rachel couldn't be happier......
"One thing you must know is that it is not the norm for a second-hand car sales company to have customers who can't be received while sitting in the company now, but your sales department seems to have forgotten the principle of 'customer is God' that I formulated?" Chen Geng's tone became stern: "The next month is our best opportunity to expand our market share, and your sales department is definitely not allowed to drop the chain for me!"
