Chapter 121: No Way Back
In the evening, before leaving work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Star pet supermarket chain supermarket Binhai City Dongcheng District franchise store.
Chen Taitong looked at the weekend's sales statistics report with a black line on his face, and none of the employees dared to speak, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that the boss would be angry with him.
"You explain to me why the sales volume has dropped despite the 50% discount promotion?"
In fact, the employees are bright in their hearts, boss, you can't do it in person, so blame me in the end?
It's just that people are bosses, and people are selectively blind and want to find a punching bag, and you can't help it, so you can only pray that you don't look too ugly and become the backstabber.
There are a few quick-witted old fritters, including the employee who has disappeared from the chicken leg standard for dinner, and their minds are no longer in this store, but they are thinking about where to find their next home. They have already seen the decline of this store, and they can't think of a way to turn the situation around if they want to break their heads, and they even use the trick of 5% off promotion, and they are almost terminally ill and waiting to die.
This store belongs to the owner, and it has nothing to do with the employees, so why should the employees live and die with the store?
One or two of them even thought about whether Qiyuan Pet Store would recruit workers, and it would be good to try there, as long as the new boss gave them a high salary, they didn't mind turning around and selling Chen Taitong......
Chen Taitong saw that the heads of the employees were lower than the other, and they were almost folded to 90 degrees, and he seemed ashamed to reflect, but in fact, he didn't care, maybe his mind was still thinking about picking up his sister.
He knew that he couldn't count on these people, and he didn't bother to get angry, so he waved his hand directly and said, "Forget it, it's time to get off work, get out!" He slammed the table and yelled, "Get out!"
"What's the matter? Store Manager Chen doesn't welcome me? Why do you let me go as soon as I come?"
Cao Yong, the regional sales supervisor of Fanxing, pushed the door in.
Chen Taitong bounced up from the chair like electricity, and said with a smile in a hurry: "It turned out to be Director Cao! Oh, don't be surprised, I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding these wastes, one by one, I know that I get paid for eating and picking up girls, and when it comes to the critical moment, I will drop the chain, I can't count on anything, and I will make a mess! Come on, Director Cao, please take a seat!"
Cao Yong smiled disapprovingly, "Store Manager Chen, of course I know you're not scolding meβI'm just joking because the atmosphere here is too tense." Don't scold them, discourage. A lot of things can't be solved by getting angry. β
After appeasing Chen Taitong, Cao Yong turned back to the employees and said, "You all go out, get off work when you should get off work, and do what you should do." Store Manager Chen is in a bad mood today, and he is a little rushed to speak, don't take it to heart. β
The employees were like being amnestied, bent their waists, and slipped faster than the other.
Chen Taitong was even more angry, pointing at the backs of the employees and scolding: "Look at these sluts, um? When I go to work, I am more grinding than a turtle, and when I hear that I get off work, I can jump faster than a rabbit!
Cao Yongle sat down by himself, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry." β
Chen Taitong sighed and sat back on the boss's chair, his whole body was paralyzed, and the boss's chair was pressed and creaked.
"Brother, I'm a waste, let's be angry, I'm too tired to live!"
Cao Yong disagreed, and persuaded: "Don't say these depressing words. A manly man, get up from where he falls!"
Chen Taitong smiled bitterly and pushed the weekend's business report over, "Do you think I don't want to get up? The problem now is that I can't climb up, I have a mountain on my back, and I have been crushed into the eighteenth layer of hell!"
Cao Yong glanced at several key data in the business report, immediately frowned in embarrassment, took a breath of cool air, and said, "Store Manager Chen, I see that your store is very well prepared, why is the actual sales data so poor?"
"Don't say it, it's all tears!"
Chen Taitong really squeezed out a little tears. There was nowhere to vent the sullenness in his heart, so he just complained to Cao Yong.
"Director Cao! I'm bitter in my heart! I don't know what's going on now, this wave of guests is not good, they seem to have all tastes raised, as soon as they enter the store, they pick and choose, one by one like a pet expert who is riding a horse, it seems that they are all prepared - these are not mentioned, Director Cao, we don't talk darkly, these pets sent by Director Qian Fang, there are good and bad, you know?"
Qian Fang, the head of procurement, has been fighting with Cao Yongming, and both sides want to get their hands on the throne of regional manager. As soon as Cao Yong heard her name, he immediately understood what Chen Taitong meant.
Fanxing adopts the policy of unified procurement and distribution, but pets are living creatures, not industrial assembly line products, and pets sent from different farms and different batches will be different. He guessed that Chen Taitong wanted to complain about the quality of his pet.
"Manager Chen, I can't help with this, she has the final say in procurement. If I want to intervene, she will definitely report to her superiors that I have exceeded my authority. β
In fact, Cao Yong was also suspicious of Qian Fang, and he suspected that she was pretending to be a public servant and deliberately purchasing poor-quality pets to drive down sales. Pet sales declined, and it was Cao Yong who was criticized, so that Qian Fang could profit from the competition.
But would she really dare to do such an outrageous thing?
Chen Taitong smiled bitterly, the customers have become picky now, and you don't send high-quality pets, how can he sell them? Are you leaving all the good pets to the directly-operated stores? He was so suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask.
It is true that the franchisees have greater operational autonomy, but the corresponding support and treatment from the head office are much worse.
He had heard of the open and secret struggle between Cao Yong and Qian Fang, but he had never remained neutral and did not participate in it. Today, for the first time, he felt that the stars might be extremely powerful, and no external opponent could match them, but this infighting...... Maybe it will ruin the stars.
"Director Cao, you can give me an idea. Now the customers are better than foxes, and I can't handle it...... If it doesn't work, I'll just close the door and transfer it, and go back to my hometown to pick up my grandson!"
Chen Taitong's words are half-truths and half-falses, which can be advanced or retreated, implying a threat. If the stars really want to give up on him, then he will simply break the jar and break it.
Employees can pick and choose, and so can he Chen Taitong!
Aren't you preparing to go public, and the closure of a franchise store at such a critical moment will have some impact on your reputation, right?
How could Cao Yong not hear the words of Chen Taitong's words, his face changed, and he said solemnly: "Manager Chen, don't be impulsive! You forgot? There are liquidated damages in the franchise contract you signed!"
Chen Taitong's heart sank to the freezing point all of a sudden!
it!
Fanxing has its own special legal department, of course, it has long thought of the possibility of transfer of the franchise store in the middle of the process, and deliberately restricts it in the contract - you can transfer, and the liquidated damages will be taken. When Chen Taitong signed the contract, he was proud of the spring breeze, and he didn't pay attention to these details, and he didn't think that he would not be able to get along at that time.
Now it's OK to transfer, but most of the money from the transfer has to be paid into liquidated damages.
He has been pushed to the bottom line and has no way back.
