Chapter 476: Preparation
In the past few days, the citizens of Xiangjiang are as happy as the Spring Festival again, and they have not recovered from the joy of the 20% discount, and the price has dropped twice in a day, and the three major supermarkets have pushed the price to 7% off, which makes the citizens quite surprised.
Countless citizens are waiting for the arrival of the 16th, they are ready to make a large number of purchases on that day, especially some items that are easy to stock, they are worried that the prices of several major supermarkets will not last for a few days and will return to the original price, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.
There are even a few citizens who are still expecting the Li consortium to continue to reduce prices, so that they can enjoy more discounts, and some are even complaining about why Hengyu Supermarket Group will not continue after Wellcome and Watsons keep up.
People's hearts are always not satisfied, such a person is estimated to be the Li consortium that asked him to go to the supermarket to pick it up for free, and it is estimated that he will also complain about why he doesn't send it to my home.
And the successive actions of several major supermarkets have completely made those small and medium-sized supermarkets give up the idea of struggling. Seven-fold sales, they will lose money if they do so, and they don't want to fall into this quagmire.
On the 15th, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, and Gan Qin went to several supermarkets in Central, Kowloon and other areas to see the preparations of these places.
At the Hengyu supermarket store in Central, Li Guangyu asked his manager: "How are the goods in your store prepared, and are you ready to open tomorrow with a perfect plan?" ”
The manager said: "Li Sheng, now our relevant goods have been put on the shelves, and at the same time, we have a large number of goods stored in the warehouse to cope with the rush to buy tomorrow. And the group has also made a perfect plan in this regard, and our Hengyu logistics company is also on standby, as long as there is a shortage of goods on our side, the headquarters will immediately deploy it to us. ”
Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing walked around the supermarket together and visited the interior of the supermarket.
Li Guangyu convened a middle and senior management meeting of Hengyu Supermarket Group at two o'clock in the afternoon and made detailed arrangements for the opening tomorrow.
Li Guangyu said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the discount, and we have a large number of stores opened, when the customer flow will be very large, and safety will be the top priority, in this regard, our safety and security department should attach great importance to each supermarket, these days to each supermarket to send additional manpower, to ensure that our major supermarket stores can operate normally." ”
Cui Jianhua, general manager of the safety and security department of Hengyu Supermarket Group, said: "Li Sheng, we are also very aware of this situation, so we have sent an additional 1/3 of the manpower in each supermarket store to ensure the safety of this time. ”
Li Guangyu is also not sure whether these people will have enough manpower, if there are too many customers tomorrow, I am afraid that this manpower will not be able to ensure the order and safety of the supermarket.
Li Guangyu said: "You can make this arrangement for the time being, and at the same time let some personnel wait for the group's arrangement, be ready to work at any time, and send additional security personnel according to the actual flow of people in each store tomorrow according to the demand." ”
Li Guangyu knows very well that such a large-scale discount event will inspire countless citizens to rush to buy, and it is likely to cause the supermarket to be full of people, and the safety pressure is very high, so he must be prepared.
Li Guangyu then said to the managers of the various stores present: "You must pay attention to the flow of customers inside the supermarket tomorrow, once the customer flow is too much, you must limit the flow of customers entering the store, so as not to have some sudden changes due to the serious excess of the number that the supermarket should be able to bear." ”
Li Guangyu is worried that there will be too many customers inside, and there will be a little friction among the guests, and if things are not good and the people inside are crowded, it is not conducive to the purchase speed of the guests, and the pressure on the internal staff is also very great.
Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, in this regard, we have clear requirements for the number of customers according to the actual situation of each store, and once the store exceeds this number, we will temporarily let the new customers wait outside." ”
Li Xuelan doesn't want an accident to make his supermarket group lose the market in Xiangjiang, she believes that as long as she copes with tomorrow, their supermarket group will be much easier in the future.
After Li Guangyu finished talking about the supermarket, he said to Zhao Xiaoyan: "It is estimated that there will be no fewer customers in your convenience store tomorrow, especially some small commodities commonly used at home, you should pay attention to replenishment at any time." ”
These convenience stores may have some warehouses, and if there is a rush to buy on their side, they can only ask the headquarters to allocate them here. After all, convenience stores are so big, they can't fit too many things.
Zhao Xiaoyan said: "Li Sheng, we have a perfect plan for this, our logistics company has arranged vehicles, specifically responsible for the replenishment of convenience stores on some lines, and our group's warehousing department has more than 20 operators dedicated to our supermarkets and convenience stores, as long as the phone comes, we will immediately replenish it." ”
Li Guangyu heard that they were all arranged, and he was no longer so worried about the opening of many stores tomorrow.
Li Guangyu asked Li Xuelan: "Xuelan, how is the preparation of Watson's side, is there any problem over there tomorrow?"
Li Guangyu is not very worried about the Hengyu Supermarket Group, but on the Watsons side, they are not like their own side, just say it themselves.
Li Xuelan replied: "Li Sheng, after the coordination of Mr. Li Ka-shing, all the shareholders have not raised any objections to this action, and they have also made arrangements in all aspects, and with their many years of experience in the supermarket, I believe there will be no problems over there." ”
Li Guangyu said: "You should also pay more attention to the internal situation of Hutchison Whampoa during this time, this time the time will be very long, and it is estimated that they will have some opinions at that time." If they really don't want Watsons to follow up, don't bother, they want to transfer their shares, let them transfer. ”
Li Guangyu doesn't care about these small shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, he will leave if he wants to, and there will be a time when they will regret it in the future.
Li Xuelan saw that since Li Guangyu didn't care much about those small shareholders, she naturally had no opinion, she hoped that Li Guangyu would buy Watsons better, so that their Hengyu Supermarket Group would have a very good brand.
Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, I will communicate with Mr. Li Ka-shing, I believe he will not let Watsons be eliminated first." As long as the two of us join forces, we don't need to heed the suggestions of other shareholders. ”
After the meeting, Li Guangyu specially found Zhou Xiaoning, and he still needed to communicate with him about the matter in Hengyu Supermarket.
The cash flow of supermarkets is quite terrifying, especially in Xiangjiang, where there are 21 supermarkets and 80 convenience stores, and the daily cash flow is the profit of many companies in Xiangjiang for a year, and the supervision of their finances is the top priority.
After Zhou Xiaoning arrived, Li Guangyu said: "Xiaoning, you must not relax in the financial audit of Hengyu Supermarket Group, and at the same time, you will be asked to send elite personnel to the headquarters to cooperate with our review department to conduct spot checks on Hengyu Supermarket Group at any time." ”
Zhou Xiaoning also knows that the financial supervision of the supermarket group is much more difficult than that of other groups under the Li family, and the cash flow is trading every day, so it is much more convenient than other groups under the Li family if someone has a heart to do it.
Zhou Xiaoning said: "Li Sheng, don't worry, we took into account the problems of Hengyu Supermarket Group at that time, so we were all selected from the elite talents of our accounting firm, and I believe that they will supervise the group's finances." At the same time, the review department of Hengyu Supermarket Group is also arranged by Mrs. herself, I don't think there will be a big problem, I will arrange some personnel to come over and obey the dispatch of the headquarters after I go down. ”
After listening to this, Li Guangyu felt that there was no problem over there, so he asked about the situation of Tianyu Financial Group. Li Guangyu also wanted to know how much impact his request would have on the group after the implementation of his request in the past few days.
