Chapter 233: On the eve of the opening
Now that Li Dong has made up his mind, Sun Tao will no longer stop it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Sun Tao's decisiveness is lacking, he is resolute in doing things.
Seeing that the situation was inviolable, he immediately said: "Then the top priority now is personnel recruitment and supply channels, and a meeting will be held later?"
Li Dong nodded and said, "Let the heads of the commodity department and the personnel department come over." ”
After speaking, he added: "Let Shen Qian come over with you, and see you in the conference room in half an hour." ”
Sun Tao nodded and hurried out of the office.
……
An hour later, Li Dong assigned the task.
The directors of the personnel department and the commodity department are bitter faces, and this task is not ordinarily arduous.
Ten stores are waiting to open, eight are ready to open, and the remaining 16 are also aiming to open by the end of the year.
More than 30 stores, in order to support this scene, recruited at least 2,000 employees. The first batch of 10 stores will be opened this time, and 700 people will be recruited according to the plan, plus we have to prepare manpower for the next opening, and at least nearly 1,000 people will have to be recruited at one time.
Now that we are approaching the end of the year, it is not easy to recruit so many people at once.
Fortunately, Pingchuan is the provincial capital, and this recruitment is not to recruit any professional talents, hold more job fairs, advertise more, although the task is a bit arduous, but it can still be completed with hard work.
The HR director complained that it seemed that he was going to work overtime this month, and he was afraid that he would be deprived of even a day off.
Compared with the personnel side, the person in charge of the commodity department is bitter.
Recruitment only needs to run in the city, this time to develop new channels, those suppliers are all from all over the world, and there are not many old people in the commodity department, he himself may have to travel to run the channel.
What they think Li Dong doesn't care, as long as he can complete the task.
usually supports these people with high salaries, if they can't even do this little thing, then what's the use of them.
After sending away the heads of the two departments, Li Dong said to Shen Qian, "You have nothing to do lately, right?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean? I don't think I'm working? The public relations department doesn't have anything to do, and I have to do it if I want to, or you will give me a promotion?"
Li Dong coughed dryly and hurriedly said, "Since you're fine, I'll give you a task." ”
"What task?" Shen Qian said with some vigilance.
"It's not a big deal, I want to borrow again, you are familiar with the bank, you try to make them as fast as possible in the loan time." ”
Hearing Li Dong say this, Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really not a big deal to get a loan, but Shen Qian still said: "It's not okay to be a white wolf with empty gloves, I don't have that much face." ”
"Don't worry, I'll mortgage the land in Washington. Recently, the price of land has risen again, and the land in Washington is now valued at at least 150 million, which is no problem, right?"
"No problem!"
Shen Qian immediately gave a positive answer, there is collateral, and the bank is eager to give you a loan.
"How much are you going to borrow?"
"40 million is a foundation, just enough 100 million. If only I could have more, I'm short of money right now. ”
Li Dong rubbed his forehead, now that the foundation in the distance is empty, it is really not good to have some money to reserve.
Soon the distance may face a big war, those supermarkets have a much stronger foundation than the distance, and they really have to drag it down with the distance, and the distance may not be dragged up.
In addition, the distribution center also has to prepare a sum of money.
Although it may not be possible to negotiate in the near future, it is necessary to prepare in advance.
Not to mention anything else, you have to prepare part of the money for the land, and the rest can be delayed until next year, when Baidu shares can be sold, and Li Dong will not panic at that time.
Handed over the task to everyone, and Li Dong didn't care.
Speaking of opening, Yuanfang now has experience.
The reason why it feels difficult this time is just because the time is too short, but everyone has not prepared in the early stage.
It's a bit difficult now, but it's not impossible.
……
In November 2005, the name of the distant place appeared again in the eyes of the people of Pingchuan.
The recruitment sections of major newspapers are full of job advertisements from afar, and the streets and alleys are full of advertisements for the opening of new stores in afar.
In almost every talent market, there are employees from afar.
The city TV station also advertised for half a month in a row, and the supermarket in the distance, everyone's ears were numb when they heard these words.
When it comes to publicity, Li Dong is willing to spend the money.
Originally, several other supermarkets were also ready to make trouble when the new stores in the distance were not opened, such as letting the industrial and commercial fire department add some blockage.
But Li Dong personally came forward to talk to several leaders in the city for a while, and soon these small actions died down.
Speaking of which, the distance is now a big family in Pingchuan.
Just one Pingchuan, there are 40 stores in the distance, and the headquarters in the distance is also about to settle in Pingchuan, and the distribution center is also very likely to settle in Pingchuan.
Without the government's intervention, several supermarkets knew that they could not stop the opening of new stores in the distance.
Since you can't stop it, you have to look at your real skills.
In the following time, the major supermarkets were quiet, but Li Dong knew that it was all the calm before the storm.
You don't have to guess to know that these people are holding back, and when it opens, there is a chance that these people will move.
After all, if they don't defeat the distance, Pingchuan will have no room for them to live, and doing business is to make money, and the distance is now robbing them of the rice in their bowls, who is willing to be willing.
Time passed day by day, and Li Dong has been holding a string.
Now you can't relax at this stage, who knows what moths will come out of the other party.
Even in order to prevent several supermarkets from hacking, Li Dong even sent out the security department that had not yet completed the training.
The stores that are about to open now have more than three security guards in each of them.
Li Dong was mainly afraid that those people would cause sabotage, and if the store site was destroyed the day before the opening, it would be a big trouble.
Now that the opening time has been publicized, if it can't be opened, it will not only be embarrassing in the distance, but will also create the impression of untrustworthy, which Li Dong cannot tolerate.
Of course, these supermarkets are well-known companies, and they don't necessarily do this kind of thing.
It's unpredictable, and there are still some small and medium-sized supermarkets in Pingchuan, who knows if someone will take advantage of the fire to rob.
Not to mention, Li Dong's worries are not unreasonable.
Within two days, Li Dong received a call from Zhou Haidong in the middle of the night, and the security caught a few people who wanted to cause sabotage.
There were four people who came to make trouble, and in the middle of the night they came to the door of a new store with axes and other tools, and several security personnel did not pay attention for a while, and the security door was knocked open, and the glass door was not smashed.
Fortunately, before they could make any other moves, several security personnel subdued them.
Send people to the police station, and the rest of Li Dong doesn't care.
The smashed glass door was quickly replaced with a new one, and Li Dong became more and more vigilant, these people really dared to play black.
Just in case, Li Dong sent all the personnel of the security department out one after another.
Maybe it was the first time that the people in the shadows gave up, and the next sabotage never happened again.
The opening time of ten stores in the distance is getting closer and closer.
At this time, Li Dong was not nervous, when the matter came, all the preparations that should be made were made, and the next thing everyone looked at was strength.
……
November 30th, the last day before opening.
Although the weather had cooled down, Sun Tao was still sweating profusely when he entered the office.
In order to prepare, he inspected all ten stores in the morning, and then rushed back to the office non-stop, tired enough.
Li Dong poured him a glass of water and asked, "How is it?"
Sun Tao took a sip of water, took a long breath, and then smiled: "I haven't fought so hard for a long time, I remember when the first store in Dongping opened, I was in this mood at that time." Later, Fucheng and Tongshan opened, I got used to it, and I didn't feel any nervousness, and now I finally experience it again. ”
Li Dong also feels similar to Sun Tao.
When the Dongping store opened, he couldn't sleep all night.
Even on the first day of opening, in order to wait for the results of the business, he didn't close his eyes until twelve o'clock, and after knowing the results, he didn't sleep all night with excitement.
But when the store opened later, even if Fucheng set a record, Li Dong was not so excited and expectant.
Sun Tao casually talked about his feelings, and then said: "The preparations are all done, there is no big mistake, I let them rectify some minor problems, and the problem is not big." ”
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said: "Next, we will see the results, if we can encircle and suppress those families, then we can draw a scoop according to the gourd, and in the future, Jiangbei will be our own family." ”
Sun Tao smiled, this idea can only be said to be expectation.
I really want to dominate Jiangbei, and I don't have this strength in the distance, after all, those supermarkets with profound heritage are still there.
is not as exclusive as Carrefour, those in Jiangbei have a much thicker foundation, and the stores are not less than far away.
If you want to defeat them, you have to work hard from afar.
The two talked, and Liu Qi hurried into the office.
Seeing Li Dong and Sun Tao, Liu Qi immediately said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, there is news." ”
"What's the news?"
"Tomorrow several other supermarkets will have an event, and now they have started to advertise, and the discount is not small. ”
"That's it, what else?"
Li Dong asked, it is certain that he will engage in activities, he has already guessed this, it is not strange.
When I was in Qingyang, I did it in other supermarkets.
But those supermarkets have made a discount activity until now, and it seems to feel a little thunderous and rainy.
But I heard Liu Qi hurriedly say: "Mr. Li, this time they have a big discount, our new store is only 95% off, and they are directly 95% off!"
Li Dong's face changed suddenly, he knew that he might face a price war, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The retail industry, especially supermarkets and hypermarkets, is generally not cheap.
Like Yuanfang, the general profit is maintained at about 20 percent, of course, this is the gross profit.
After deducting taxes and other expenses, it can barely maintain a net profit of about 10%.
Ninety-five percent off can still make money, but if it's nine-percent off, it's almost the cost price.
Hearing this, Li Dong hurriedly said, "Is it a full-site discount, or a partial?"
"Audience!"
Li Dong and Sun Tao's faces changed, and the audience was folded, this is to fight with themselves!
