Chapter 598: The Solution to the Insufficient Reserve Store Manager

After the meeting, the general manager's office.

Sun Quan sat in the boss's chair with a cup of coffee in front of him, and across a large desk, Kuang Longfei sat there, also with a cup of coffee in front of him.

Other than that, there is no third person in this office.

Kuang Longfei picked up the coffee, gently shook the coffee in the cup, and looked at the swaying coffee in the cup, "Are you serious? ”

Sun Quan lit a cigarette, threw one over to Kuang Longfei, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he said: "Well, step by step, steady and steady development, although it is very stable, but ...... Lao Kuang, have you ever thought that the development of the company is sometimes similar to ordinary people saving money, isn't it said that horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall, such as ordinary office workers, who earn so much dead wages a month, even if they don't eat or drink, how much money can they save in a lifetime? The upper limit is visible, what do you say?"

Kuang Longfei put down the coffee cup, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes, and smiled dumbly, "You gave this example...... Listening to what you say, are you encouraging office workers to be restless and have a gambler mentality?"

Sun Quan shook his head, "That's not it! Everyone has their own way of living, some people seek stability, stability first, not so ambitious, it's good! At least go to work honestly, you can basically have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and if you mix well, you can also live a very nourishing life, but we are doing business, such as sailing against the current, if we don't advance, we will retreat, we must not only develop, but also develop faster than our competitors, otherwise sooner or later we will be squeezed by competitors and it will be difficult to survive, do you agree with this?"

Kuang Longfei took another puff of his cigarette and nodded slightly, "That's right, as our branches open more and more, we have indeed encountered a lot of competitors, and there are two of them that are currently larger than us, so your worries are not unreasonable, but...... What a risk!

The speed of our recent expansion has not been slow, but you suddenly want to expand at a double speed, old classmate! Other people in the company may not dare to tell you the truth, but our friendship ...... So, I need to seriously remind you that the risk of expanding at double speed is really great! Yes, there is not much of a problem in terms of funds, but we currently have so many reserve store managers in hand, and even fewer can come in handy, and there are not enough store managers, how can we do so many new stores?

Sun Quan listened quietly, flicked the cigarette ash on his hand, shook his head and said: "Lao Kuang, I know your concerns, but there are always more ways than difficulties, and I think the problem of not having enough store managers can be solved!"

"How to fix it?"

Kuang Longfei raised his head and frowned at Sun Quan, his eyes puzzled.

Sun Quan looked at him and smiled slightly, "Rural land contracting, you know, right?"

Kuang Longfei's eyes were even more puzzled, and he didn't make a sound.

Sun Quan: "Rural land contracting is generally contracted to households, but in recent years, there have also been people who have contracted hundreds of acres or even hundreds of acres of land, making large contractors and doing mechanized planting, have you heard of it?"

Kuang Longfei's eyes moved slightly, and the cigarette that had already reached his mouth stopped at his mouth, and said, "What do you mean...... One store manager manages dozens of stores?"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth rose slightly, and he flicked the cigarette ash on his hand again, "How many branches and franchise stores do we have now?"

Kwong Longfei: "There are now 186 branches, and the franchise stores are ...... Now there are 322 of them, what's going on?"

Sun Quan bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "With so many branches and franchise stores, it's difficult for you to manage it alone, right?"

Kuang Longfei: "Busy must be very busy, after all, there are hundreds of stores, but I don't have to keep an eye on every branch and franchise store, besides, I also have assistants under me, what? What do you think?"

Sun Quan: "The ancient army, marching and fighting, with clear hierarchies, there were captains, chiefs, centurions, thousand-commanders or something, I have never heard of a general directly commanding tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, and there are no subordinate officers in between, right?"

Kuang Longfei understood a little, his upper body that was originally leaning forward fell back, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "Heh, understood! I understand what you mean, yes! This idea is really good, let's talk about it! How do you want to grade it?"

Sun Quan casually pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, picked up the coffee and took a sip, "There is a way, how to grade it is simple! For every five branches and ten franchise stores, there is a big store manager, and the main responsibility of this big store manager is to take care of those five branches, as for the franchise stores...... Because the right to operate is not in our hands, people are franchised, let the big store manager take care of it, if there is any problem with the franchise store, let the big store manager in charge of them deal with it, and then, every fifty branches and one hundred franchise stores, set up a regional store manager, in charge of the fifty branches and one hundred franchise stores, so that it is enough for us to set up four regional store managers, three full regional store managers, and one regional store manager who has not yet been fully compiled, what do you think?"

Kuang Longfei frowned and was silent, and only asked a question after a while: "A big store manager, who manages five branches and ten franchise stores, can't manage it? Originally, a store manager was only in charge of one store, and suddenly let a store manager manage so many stores, can he manage it?"

Besides, in this way, we still have a lot more store managers! There are so many more store managers, what should we do? Lay off? Or do we all reduce them to reserve store managers and keep them for later use?"

Sun Quan shook his head with a smile, "You! It's really brainless! I just said that after setting up a big store manager, don't you want the manager of every branch?"

Kuang Longfei was a little surprised, "What do you mean...... Not only does each branch have a store manager, but there are also large store managers and regional store managers?

Sun Quan took another sip of coffee, his expression was already a little speechless, "Your comprehension ability...... Isn't that straightforward enough? After setting up a big store manager and a regional store manager, we don't need to assign a fully qualified branch manager to each of the following branches, because every five branches have a big store manager, and every fifty branches have a regional store manager, and these regional store managers and big store managers have the responsibility of cultivating branch managers, and if we can't train qualified branch managers for the time being, then they have to personally take care of the business of those branches, understand?"

Kuang Longfei nodded thoughtfully, and nodded again, "Understood! This time I really understand, while you are promoting some people to become big store managers and regional store managers, you are also adding burdens and responsibilities to these people, forcing them to try their best to train qualified branch managers? Or forcing them to personally catch some branches with not very good profits? That's what you mean?"

Sun Quan gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "That's right! That's what it means, if you want the horses to run, you naturally can't help but give the horses grazing, and promote so many people to be big store managers and regional store managers, their rights and treatment have been improved, if you don't give me work or redouble my heart, is there such a good thing in the world? ”

Kuang Longfei muttered: "Profiteer!"

Sun Quan raised his brows slightly, "What did you say?"

Kuang Longfei smiled, picked up a thumbs up, and praised: "Praise you for being smart!" However, I suggest that the big store manager can be set up as soon as possible, but the position of the regional store manager, I suggest that it be empty for the time being, empty for a few months, just like a carrot hanging in front of the donkey of the grinding, we can clearly tell those newly promoted big store managers, the next few regional store managers who are about to be born, will be evaluated according to their performance in the next few months, and the best performance of the few people will serve as the regional store manager, I believe that in this way, in the next few months, the fighting spirit of these big store managers does not need us to worry about, they will work hard to perform!”

After listening to this, Sun Quan smiled, put down the coffee cup in his hand, walked around the desk and came to Kuang Longfei's side, raised his hand and patted Kuang Longfei on the shoulder, and praised: "Not bad! Not bad!

Kuang Longfei didn't have the courage to brush his hand away, and rolled his eyes, "Don't think that you are my boss now, you can give me a nickname at will! If you want to say the nickname 'peeling', you are more suitable!

Sun Quan smiled and didn't argue, leaned on the desk, pressed the edge of the table with both hands, and said with a smile: "Then the task of selecting the big store manager will be handed over to you, try to leave three qualified branch managers under each big store manager, you can't put too much pressure on the big store manager at once, a big store manager personally grasps the business of the two branches, it should be no problem, if there are more, it may be beyond their ability." ”

Kuang Longfei got up and took a few big sips of coffee, drank all the cups of coffee in one go, put down the coffee cup, exhaled, and said, "Don't worry! I know what to do, let's go! I'm going to draw up a list, I won't waste time here with you!"

As he spoke, he strode away and waved his hand with his back to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was not annoyed, and already had a happy smile on his face.

Setting up a big store manager and a large district store manager is a sudden idea that came to him recently.

The purpose is threefold.

First, it is more convenient to manage each of the following branches, and the ability of Kuang Longfei, the vice president, ...... Although he has been trained and strengthened a lot in the past few years, he is in charge of nearly 200 branches and more than 300 franchise stores alone, even if he has a secretary and an assistant, it is not easy.

But after setting up the regional store manager, it is different, at present, it is enough to set up four regional store managers, from then on, Kuang Longfei only needs to stare at the performance of the four regional store managers, even if the regional store managers will continue to increase in the future, there will not be a few more in that year, Kuang Longfei can completely manage it.
