Chapter 90: Anger
At the end of March, Sun Tao returned to Pingchuan after his investigation in Fucheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Dong saw Sun Tao, who had lost weight again.
Li Dong didn't say anything this time, patted Sun Tao on the shoulder, and personally poured him a cup of tea.
Sun Tao was a little flattered, and hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Li, it's too polite." ”
Li Dong smiled and didn't speak, the two sat down and smoked a cigarette, and after a while, Sun Tao said: "There are 6 counties and 2 municipal districts in Fucheng, my opinion is to open seven stores for the time being, and one store in the urban area is enough." ”
"Is there fierce competition over there?" Li Dong didn't follow the words, but asked.
Sun Tao said: "Fucheng is bigger than Qingyang, and its economy is developing faster than Qingyang, so the competition is naturally more fierce than Qingyang. However, the county is okay, except for a few small supermarkets, there are almost no big supermarkets. ”
Li Dong was silent, it seems that the competition is still fierce.
In 04, there were almost no supermarkets in the county under the jurisdiction of Qingyang, and now there are supermarkets in the county seat of Fucheng.
After pondering for a moment, Li Dong said: "Since Brother Sun has done a good investigation, let's start construction as soon as possible." The pace of renovation should also be accelerated, and the opening will be made before July. ”
Sun Tao pondered for a moment, it was about to enter April, and if it opened in July, there would only be three months to prepare.
Three months, if the speed is fast, it is almost enough.
After thinking about it, Sun Tao said again: "What about personnel?"
"Let Qi Yunna go to Fucheng. ”
"The manager of the city store?" Sun Tao said tentatively.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Regional manager." ”
Sun Tao frowned suddenly, and went directly from the manager of the county-level branch to the regional manager, which is a bit large.
And Fucheng is about to have seven branches starting, can Qi Yunna take on such a big responsibility?
Vaguely, Sun Tao felt that Li Dong probably not only valued Qi Yunna's ability, but more importantly, Qi Yunna was Li Dong's descendant.
To be honest, sometimes Sun Tao himself is worried.
Now there are six stores in the distance, except for Dongping and Nanhe, almost all the other stores are his people, Longhua is even directly managed by him, if Li Dong doesn't mind at all, then there will be ghosts.
Thinking of this, Sun Tao did not raise any objections, nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll let you know later." ”
Li Dong nodded, and said, "Let Guo Mingzhi go to Fucheng City to be the store manager." ”
Sun Tao couldn't understand what Li Dong meant, Guo Mingzhi was his old relative.
Transferring Guo Mingzhi to be the store manager in the urban area, is it to restrain Qi Yunna, or is it to appease himself?
Li Dong didn't care what he was thinking, and after speaking, Guo Mingzhi no longer talked about the personnel arrangement, but asked, "Has the budget been made?"
"It's probably between 12 million and 13 million. Sun Tao threw away the cranky thoughts in his heart and hurriedly replied.
Li Dong rubbed his temples and said a little irritably: "It's a little higher than the previous estimate, with an average investment of more than 1.7 million per store." ”
Sun Tao didn't speak, the cost rise is certain, and the rent alone is much higher than last year.
And today's labor is more expensive than last year, and the money is becoming less and less valuable.
In 04, it was enough to open a store of the same size of about 1.5 million, and now it has risen by more than 10%.
Li Dong sighed, it's okay now.
In a few years, the rent will become a big problem, and the supermarket will probably have to make money for the landlord.
The most important reason why so many small supermarkets in later generations can't support it is that the cost is too high, on the one hand, rent, and on the other hand, labor.
It's okay to be artificial, everyone is of the same standard.
But the rent is different, and many large supermarkets are actually bought and operated.
For example, Suguo, in addition to some franchise stores, many of the stores of directly operated stores belong to their own industries.
Li Dong wanted to do the same, but unfortunately he didn't have the capital.
Let's just say that the budget of 12 million in Fucheng this time, if you buy the store operation, I am afraid that you can only open three stores, which is not what Li Dong wants.
Forget it, the road has to be taken step by step, and it's useless to think about that now.
Putting aside these thoughts, Li Dong chatted with Sun Tao for a while about the preparations for the branch.
When the two of them were about to talk, Hu Yong knocked on the door and walked in.
Seeing Li Dong and Sun Tao, Hu Yong said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, Miss Li Qian has arrived in Pingchuan today, does Mr. Li have any arrangements for the evening?"
"I won't get involved in this, you just need to be in charge of hospitality. Li Dong said.
Hu Yong's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and he asked again: "Then does Mr. Sun have time at night?"
Before Sun Tao could speak, Li Dong suddenly said angrily: "Isn't it enough for you, the manager of the marketing department from afar, to come forward?"
"A player who came out of the draft is not an international celebrity, do you want me to bow down to greet him?"
"Mr. Li, I ......" Hu Yong was startled and hurriedly explained.
Li Dong waved his hand to interrupt his words, and snorted: "It's not that I didn't pay for it, it's just an equivalent exchange, why should I lower my worth! She dares to ask me for 100,000 yuan in a commercial performance, if you don't make your own decisions, I'll be a fart for her!"
Speaking of this, Li Dong is on fire.
Hu Yong didn't even tell him, he directly signed a contract with Li Qian, and came to a distant place to do a commercial performance, with an appearance fee of 100,000 yuan!
Li Dong was almost mad when he heard this price, he could invite a second-tier star for 100,000 yuan in 05, he needed to invite this Li Qian!
If it weren't for Hu Yong's explanation afterwards, Li Qian's reputation in Pingchuan would be higher than those second-tier stars, and Li Dong would have opened his heart.
Even so, Hu Yong's bonus this month has been deducted, but I didn't expect this guy to come again today!
Although Yuanfang is not a big company, there is no need to go down to meet a small star.
Seeing that Li Dong was angry, Hu Yong's face turned pale, and his eyes for help turned to Sun Tao.
Sun Tao sighed, got up and persuaded: "Mr. Li, why don't I go for a trip, anyway, people are also invited by us." ”
Li Dong was still angry, and he was already worried about money.
As a result, Hu Yong came to such a set again, and Li Dong really wanted to open him directly.
But it doesn't make sense to think about it, Hu Yong is still a little capable, the marketing department has done a beautiful job under his leadership, and the performance of the distance this month has not only not fallen, but there are signs of improvement.
This is also the reason why Li Dong only deducted his bonus last time, otherwise Li Dong would have kicked it directly if he was replaced, how would he still listen to his explanation.
I took a sip of water and suppressed the anger in my heart.
After being silent for a moment, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "You go to receive Li Qian first, Mr. Sun will pass over when there is time." ”
Hu Yong hurried out of the office as if he had been granted amnesty.
As soon as he left, Sun Tao smiled and said, "Manager Hu is still good." ”
Li Dong snorted, "If he hadn't done a good job, I would have fired him a long time ago! Make your own opinion, if the commercial performance is not good, and the 100,000 yuan will not be able to earn back, you see how I clean him up!"
In addition to these 100,000, there are also 80,000 on the school side.
With an investment of 180,000 yuan, Li Dong doubted whether this Li Qian had the ability to earn it back for him.
Despite Hu Yong's repeated assurances that he was getting his money's worth, Li Dong remained distrustful.
