Chapter 213: Our Great Advantage
The new supermarket in the People's Shopping Mall opened, although there was no major publicity, but not many people knew about it.
Originally, this was the most prosperous and lively area of Zhou City, and countless people saw every move of the people's shopping mall.
Its first floor is being renovated these days, and it is said that it is a big supermarket, which has long been spread.
When it opened today, many people who came to Knorr Supermarket to buy food and groceries naturally saw it.
Some people who didn't have meat and vegetables at the Knorr supermarket stopped by and took a look and prepared to buy some meat and vegetables to go back.
There is no meat or vegetables sold in the Knorr supermarket, but the supermarket in the people's shopping mall does, and the price is so cheap.
Soon, it spread to everyone.
There were fewer customers in Knorr Supermarket, and they all flocked to the People's Mall Supermarket.
On the first floor, Hu Changyun stood in a corner, looking at the door of the supermarket with satisfaction.
There, people come and go, the river is endless, and the people's shopping mall has not been so lively for a long time!
"Hehe, Mr. Hu, this trick is really clever! There are a lot of customers in Knorr Supermarket who come over at once, and there is no fresh food to sell there, so it is estimated that life will be difficult. The supermarket manager bowed his head and touted.
Hu Changyun waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Don't be proud, the opponent is estimated to be stubborn, at this time, it is whose tenacity is enough, whose foundation is strong! Don't they all say that Hong Kong businessmen are the most shrewd, and they may not be able to do this kind of loss-making business. Now we just have to show our attitude! Let them see it, and let them believe that we will fight to the end! If we can let them retreat in the face of difficulties, that would be the best. ”
The two were chatting, but didn't notice a young man passing in front of them and into the supermarket.
............
Yu Wenfei came to the new supermarket in the People's Mall alone, and he didn't carry a shopping basket, just strolling.
Well, the supermarket is not small, and the entire floor should be more than 3,000 square meters, almost half of Knorr.
The goods are also quite rich, with an area of several thousand square meters, and basically the common categories should be available.
What is the price......
Yu Wenfei casually took a few common items from the shelves.
Master Kong bagged instant noodles, Knorr sells a piece of 61 packs, and here too.
White elephant instant noodles, Knorr sells a two-one pack, and it's the same here!
Wang Shouyi thirteen incense, Knorr sells two pieces a box, here ...... It's still the same price!
Seeing this, Yu Wenfei's brows furrowed.
Although Knorr is just a supermarket, its purchase channels are not ordinary.
"Wufang Liancai" is not for fun, including Knorr, there are more than 25 large supermarkets under Wufang Liancai!
In this Central Plains Province, it is definitely second to none.
These 25 large supermarkets are all carrying out unified procurement for these non-fresh goods.
The purchase discount is definitely the lowest in the province!
Why can this supermarket in the People's Mall sell at this price?!
At the same time, Hu Changyun and the person in charge of the supermarket at the door of the supermarket watched one by one customers come out of the supermarket, carrying large bags and small bags in their hands.
At first, the two of them were smiling very happily, but slowly, the smiles disappeared.
Just kidding, now for the people's shopping mall, things are sold at a loss!
The more you sell, the more you lose.
Finance has calculated that at current prices, the gross profit of the supermarket is -16%.
If you add labor and loss, plus other miscellaneous things, the loss will reach more than 30%!
This is the real "making money at a loss".
How can you still laugh when you think about it......
..................
Yu Wenfei came back from the supermarket opposite, looking at the deserted venue in the Knorr supermarket, his brows furrowed.
"You go check to see if the purchase channels of the people's shopping mall have not changed, and if you can, inquire about their purchase prices. You don't need to buy all the goods, just a few more common things, instant noodles and the like, this is easier to inquire. ”
He turned around and instructed Hu Xiaoyun.
Some commodities are supplied by the manufacturer's branch directly located in the Central Plains.
It means that Knorr and People's Mall are the same supplier, so it is easier to inquire about each other's purchase discounts.
There are 25 large supermarkets on the Wufang Liancai side, and there is only one supermarket on the people's shopping mall, so the supplier must be able to distinguish which is more important without consideration.
Hu Xiaoyun agreed, and went to call to find out the information.
Zhou Mengyi said worriedly next to her: "The number of our employees is not enough, and new employees have just started to recruit, and they have not been trained. In addition, the fresh food has begun to be found by the purchasing department, but not so quickly. How are we doing business these days?"
Although Yu Wenfei has not personally run a supermarket, he also understands.
Like fresh supplies, a variety of vegetables and fruits, plus meat, eggs and fish, this is not something that one or two suppliers can provide.
Especially Zhoushi is still a small city, and there are no such big suppliers at all.
You can only go to vegetable farms and the like to talk one by one, which is inefficient.
Yu Wenfei shook his head with a smile and said, "Mengyi, you are now the boss, you have to learn to coordinate the overall situation." Hire new employees, renegotiate suppliers, it's all right. However, we also have a huge advantage, why have you forgotten it?"
Zhou Mengyi's eyes widened, a huge advantage?
She thought about it for a while, but she couldn't think of any huge advantage.
"Are we a Hong Kong-funded company, can we go directly to the city to help us solve it?" she asked tentatively, which was already the biggest advantage she could think of.
This method is also feasible, and as the only Hong Kong-funded enterprise in Zhou City, it also has the qualifications to ask the city to help solve some problems.
But Yu Wenfei shook his head and rejected her proposal, "No, this is a matter in the mall, and we have to use commercial means to deal with it." If we are bullied, we will call our parents? That will never grow up! Perhaps, this time, our parents are stronger and can help us get back on the field. But what if the parents of the other party are also strong when they meet each other, or is it the same parent as us, and the parents don't help either side?"
"Why did our supermarket open so smoothly, where did Hu Xiaoyun's team come from?" Yu Wenfei induced.
"I know, ask Mr. Liu for help, he has a lot of employees, he can temporarily support us. ”
Zhou Mengyi said happily, feeling that she had found a solution to the problem.
Unfortunately, to her disappointment, Yu Wenfei still shook her head.
"You forget, we are part of the Wufang Liancai umbrella. Have you forgotten the purpose of the five-party joint procurement? When one side is in trouble, the four sides will support!"
Yu Wenfei smiled and said the final answer to the question!
