Chapter 127: Competition (1)
On the third day of the trial opening of Ai Bing United Shopping, the flow of people began to fill up as soon as it opened, and this state lasted until the end of the evening. Many goods were out of stock several times, and Guo Linlin had to urgently dispatch suppliers for temporary delivery.
Guo Linlin was relieved. She called Guo Yang three times in the course of the day, and the excitement in her voice was overflowing each time.
This was actually expected by Guo Yang for a long time.
City C is a medium-sized city in the Northern Province with an economy at the forefront. So far, there are not many large-scale specialized supermarkets in the city, most of them are state-owned supermarkets such as the affiliated supermarkets of the People's Shopping Mall, and civilian supermarkets such as Ai Bing United Shopping are still rare for the time being.
This means that Ai Bing supermarket has a large market space. This is also the key to Guo Yang's confidence in opening 5-8 chain stores in the city within half a year. With the successful experience of the head office, the operation of the follow-up stores is actually batch copying, without much technical content.
After the chain operation, the Ai Bing Federation occupies the city's mass market in the shortest possible time, and then radiates to the surrounding areas. The unified distribution and centralized intelligent warehousing management that came from this laid the foundation for Guo Yang to set up a logistics company.
The construction of a complete set of industry systems such as chain physical stores, intelligent warehousing, and logistics and distribution is paving the way for Guo Yang to enter e-commerce.
Ai Bing joint shopping benign operation, Ai Bing trading company has its own capital chain. And through bank financing and mortgage loans, the opening of chain stores can be completely self-raised.
In fact, as a supplement to the supermarket chain business, Guo Yang has greater ambitions, and he is planning to set up Ai Bing Culture Company to set foot in the book chain market. The chain book business can fully rely on the chain market network, warehousing system and logistics structure built by Ai Bing Commerce and Trade to become bigger and stronger.
Ai Bing Culture Company is going through the industrial and commercial registration procedure under the operation of Guo Linlin, and the location of the head office of Ai Bing Bookstore Guo Yang is also basically determined.
Ai Bing culture, someone needs to take the lead in the operation for him.
Guo Yang's chess shop has a very large pattern, and it is impossible for him to invest too much energy in a certain local node. So he's been considering the right person for a while.
Guo Yang finally understood why many private enterprises have slowly evolved into family businesses with backward systems is because of human problems. The helmsman himself has limited energy, and outsiders can't believe it, so he absorbs the seven aunts and eight aunts, and over time, the company becomes a family business that is difficult to return.
The disadvantages of a family business are undeniable. Guo Yang did not intend to turn his company into a "company surnamed Guo" from the beginning, and professional manager management is the most reliable. As for the intervention of her sister Guo Linlin, it is a special case that cannot be replicated.
On the way to work at the newspaper office in the morning, Guo Yang gradually made up his mind. First, we will cultivate the management team of Ai Bing United Trading, and then select outstanding talents from them to enrich the major industrial sectors in their own planning as professional managers.
Ai Bing United Trading Company, including Guo Linlin and Yao Zekai, has 17 employees. Guo Yang thinks that it is possible to recruit another 5-10 young people with college degree or above, although the trading company cannot use so many people for the time being, but it can reserve talents for the operation of other companies in the future.
Guo Yang drove into the courtyard of the newspaper office, stopped the car, did not get out of the car, and called Guo Linlin in the car.
Guo Yang never played cards according to common sense, which made Guo Linlin somewhat helpless, she smiled bitterly: "Brother, now the company has little demand for management personnel, most of them are on the front line of the supermarket, I don't think there is any need to recruit so many people in, which will cause a great burden to the company!"
"Linlin, don't just look at the present, think about the future. We can't just have one store in the future, there will be many chain stores, who will manage them? And there are other companies, all of which need people to do it, what I mean is to use the trading company as a management talent training base, recruit a group, mature a group, and deliver a group of ......."
"Linlin, you refer to the normal company's operation model, and immediately build the management structure of the trading company, there should be no less departments, and the corresponding talents are recruited for the market!"
The more Guo Yang talked, the more excited she became, and slowly told Guo Linlin about her talent training plan that was not too mature, Guo Linlin had been listening carefully, and she realized that her brother's ambitions were beyond her imagination, and what he wanted to do was not only a supermarket chain, but he was playing a big game of chess!
In the past month or so, Guo Linlin feels that she has learned a lot from her brother, in terms of concepts, thinking patterns, and behaviors...... It is not so much that Guo Yang relies on Guo Linlin to manage the trading company and Ai Bing Supermarket, but that Guo Yang teaches and guides Guo Linlin to grow rapidly.
After talking to Guo Linlin, Guo Yang jumped out of the car, looked up at the clear blue sky, let the refreshing autumn breeze blow his face, and the ambition in his heart slowly precipitated. At this moment, he is still an inconspicuous reporter of the Northern Morning News, and he is going to participate in the competition for chief reporter today.
I don't know which newspaper Zhao Guoqing borrowed from the competition model, the competition adopts the candidate himself to deliver a speech, which is scored by the evaluation team and the on-site scoring and evaluation by some reporters and editorial representatives.
The competition adopts an open elimination system.
After the first round of scoring, half of the ten candidates were eliminated, leaving five to advance to the second round.
The second round was again shortened by a short presentation, again scored by the judges and employee representatives, and the five candidates were eliminated from five to three.
The third round is the final of the three choices.
The selected personnel were selected and appointed by the party committee and editorial board of the newspaper, and became the first batch of chief editors (reporters) of the Northern Morning News, enjoying the treatment of middle-level deputies.
Guo Yang walked into the conference center on the second floor of the newspaper office building, and the competition had begun. Nine senior executives of the newspaper, headed by Zhao Guoqing, were sitting on the rostrum at the moment, while 50 or 60 representatives of editors and reporters scattered around the stage, with different expressions.
When Guo Yang entered the door, a grim gaze was projected, and Guo Yang didn't need to look up to know that it was Li Shuguang.
Lin Meimei and her eyes opened in the back row and beckoned to him, and Guo Yang walked over quickly.
Lin Meimei turned sideways and said, "Guo Yang, what's the matter with you, how can you be late as a candidate?"
Guo Yang smiled: "There is a traffic jam on the road, and I am a few minutes late." ”
The eyes opened and sighed: "Don't speak, Zhou Zheng is going to come to the stage to compete for a speech." ”
Guo Yang shrugged his shoulders and looked at the stage.
As a senior reporter with strong business ability in the Northern Morning News, Zhou Zheng of the Theory Department is very popular in this selection of chief reporters and editors. He was the first to appear, which probably represents his expectations.
Zhou Zheng's competition speech was decent, and there was nothing particularly outstanding, but he was mature and sophisticated, and he was highly recognized by both colleagues and leaders.
Zhou Zheng's score was high. Nine judges gave nine votes, and fifty representatives of journalists and editors gave 46 votes.
The next few candidates took the stage one after another to give speeches, each for five minutes. But no one got more votes than Zhou Zheng. Judging from the current situation, Zhou Zheng's selection is already a certainty.
Li Shuguang appeared in penultimate place.
It can be seen that he is very nervous, and although he is very well prepared, there are still stumbles in the process of competing for speeches. In the end, the nine judges gave Li Shuguang 9 votes, and the journalist representatives gave 35 votes.
After the votes were announced, Li Shuguang himself didn't expect it. The staff voted for him not much, but the judges gave a full vote!
There were some whispers at the scene, and many people disagreed, feeling that the leadership was still too partial to Li Shuguang.
Guo Yang threw a meaningful glance at Zhao Guoqing and the others on the stage, and his heart was like watching fire. After all, Li Shuguang's uncle was the deputy director in charge of the Propaganda Department, and in such a public occasion, it was impossible for any newspaper leader not to offend people without voting for Li Shuguang.
Li Shuguang walked down triumphantly, and at this moment, his confidence returned. He felt that his backstage had finally played a role.
Guo Yang was the last to appear, he got up on stage, and many people were surprised to find that he did not carry a speech.
Li Shuguang pursed his lips and sat there sneering, is he ready to give an unscripted speech? What an arrogant boy, you don't know that this is a form in itself, not in terms of the level and eloquence of the speech, but in the many things behind it.
Guo Yang walked up to the podium, first bowed to the judges on the rostrum, and then bowed to the audience.
On the rostrum, Zhao Guoqing turned his head to Zhang Yuqiang beside him and smiled in a low voice: "This kid was the last to appear, and he didn't bring a script, this is preparing to take off the script." ”
Zhang Yuqiang also smiled: "If it is out of script, it means that he has done more preparation than others." ”
Zhao Guoqing nodded and smiled: "Lao Zhang, do you think he can get ahead?"
Zhang Yuqiang raised his eyebrows: "I personally hope to select newcomers with professional ability, and I also hope to establish a benign mechanism of open competition within the newspaper, regardless of seniority, and the mediocre and capable." ”
Zhang Yuqiang found out from the corner of his eye that other leaders were listening attentively to the conversation between him and Zhao Guoqing. Zhao Guoqing has not admired Guo Yang for a day or two, whether they give Guo Yang a ticket or not, to put it bluntly, it still depends on Zhao Guoqing's attitude.
Zhao Guoqing smiled noncommittally and turned his head to look at Guo Yang, who was speaking.
Guo Yang really gave an off-script speech, but although he was off-script, the logic and hierarchy of his speech were clear, orderly, and layer by layer, and his advantages and ideas for participating in the competition were displayed in the shortest language, which was full of praise.
Warm applause rang out and lasted for a long time.
Lin Meimei applauded excitedly, her eyes were a little stunned, he didn't expect Guo Yang's eloquence to be so good. In fact, Guo Yang had been a leader for so many years in his previous life, and he held meetings and speeches all day long, and his level of off-script speeches had long been tempered.
