Chapter 127: Food Square
Carrefour supermarket in the time that followed. As the director of the commerce bureau said, seven days have been a big deal. Although this turnover is not at all comparable to the supermarkets where Sun Zhaolun worked before, but in Pingchuan County, it is absolutely unparalleled. In just a few days, Carrefour supermarket has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People know that Carrefour supermarket, that is synonymous with good quality and low price. People are from the original admiration and curiosity. Turned to the recognition of the Carrefour supermarket.
And the service here, the shopping environment here. All of them make the residents of Pingchuan County feel comfortable and comfortable. Here, they can look at Chinese objects at will, take them as they want, and put them as they want. You can get zuihou and drop it when you pay for it. And no one will react to this behavior in any rudeness. And to the delight of these people, when the Carrefour supermarket collects money, it will be exempted if it encounters a fraction of less than five cents. Although it is only a small amount of money, it can save a lot of money after a long time.
For this, Sun Zhaolun was also worried, afraid that someone would buy the goods that should be purchased several times in order to save these few cents. Fang Mingyuan smiled: "Manager Sun." Time is money, although this concept is not so important at present, but with the development of the economy, people will pay more and more attention to convenience and speed. And not the cheapness of these pennies.
Although, for the time being, maybe we will have less profits, but I am stunned, the repeated queue from another point of view, is undoubtedly advertising for us, it is precisely because our Carrefour is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so everyone likes to come here to shop, so there is always a long queue at our cash desk, isn't it?"
But Sun Zhaolun originally wanted to say. That would make a lot of people buy less. And feel that it is not worth queuing up for this, and give up purchasing. But he thought about it, this is not Hong Kong, Carrefour is unique at the moment, and these people have no other choice. A 10% price difference is enough to discourage the vast majority of people from looking for another home.
"And, I think, people who repeatedly queue up to save some money must be having difficulties at home. It's only a very small number of people, so let's take it as a good deed!" Fang Mingyuan said with a final word. However, even so, Fang Mingyuan still asked the store to decide the number of collection staff according to the number of customers, and avoid making customers wait too long for payment unless it is during peak periods.
Their conversation later spread somehow, and then from the clerks to the county, and everyone who heard this had a good impression of Carrefour.
"Manager Sun, it seems that we have to consider recruiting another batch of personnel. In the manager's room, Fang Mingyuan leaned against the endless flow of people outside the sand and said softly.
"Ready to recruit people again?" Sun Zhaolun was slightly taken aback, although he thought that Fang Mingyuan would definitely want to take advantage of this momentum to expand rapidly. But I didn't expect that this was only the seventh day of opening. Fang Mingyuan brought it up.
"Fang Shao, although we are in Ping" has been a great success, but the time is still short, we still have an unstable foothold, and a large number of funds are pressed on the purchased materials, how can there be extra funds to open a new store?" "Although Pingchuan is a county, but the population is limited after all, and the purchasing power is also limited, in Sun Zhaolun's view, it is impossible to support the second store in a short period of time. If we talk about expanding to neighboring counties, then we need to be cautious. After all, it is not Pingchuan, the Fang family does not have so much influence, and if you want to replicate Pingchuan's success, I am afraid it is not as easy as imagined.
"Huh, when did I say I would open a new store? Fang Mingyuan gave him a strange look. I only recruited another batch of personnel, so why did Sun Zhaolun think of opening a new store.
"If you don't open a new store, what will you do if you don't recruit again?" Although the manpower in the supermarket is a little tight now, on the whole, it is still moderate. There is no need to replenish manpower. Sun Zhaolun also made Fang Mingyuan confused. I don't know what he wants.
"Didn't Manager Sun propose the day before yesterday to make use of this courtyard? Such a large piece of land, it is obviously a bit of a waste to park bicycles, I also communicated with the police station, and they agreed to set up a bicycle parking place on the road outside the courtyard, so that we can make full use of this empty space. Fang Mingyuan pointed to the open passage around the supermarket.
"So, Fang Shao, have you agreed to attract investment from this vacant land?" Sun Zhaolun said with a smile on his eyebrows. He planned to set up a stall along the wall of this courtyard, which could be rented out to those owners who operated food in Pingchuan County, so that he could do it. Customers who go to Carrefour supermarket to shop are not discharged. You can enjoy it
This made Fang Mingyuan also quite impressed by Qiu Xuan's vision, and the Sun Zhaolun she recommended really had a few brushes. Fang Mingyuan, who is a man of two generations, naturally knows that the setting up of food cities in large supermarkets has been a standard in later generations, and after 20 years, even supermarkets, game halls, cinemas, gyms, hotels, food cities, and various specialty stores will be concentrated in one building, so that customers can enjoy thoughtful services without leaving the building.
Therefore, for his proposal, Fang Mingyuan naturally would not refuse. But unlike what Sun Zhaolun envisioned, he wanted to incorporate these stalls into the normal management of the supermarket, rather than just charging booth fees.
Sun Zhaolun frowned slightly, from the perspective of supermarket management, he still tends to rent these stalls to the owners of snacks in the county, and this supermarket only needs to maintain basic order and the hygiene of the venue. It not only earns money, makes use of the space, attracts customers to stay more in the supermarket, but does not overburden the management staff. If the operators of these stalls are also included in the official establishment of the supermarket, then it is a tedious task to only purchase and prepare various foods every day, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of the supermarket.
"Manager Sun, I understand your thoughts. To be precise, if I could, I would like to do so." Fang Mingyuan's words couldn't help but make Sun Zhaolun even more confused, since Fang Mingyuan also thought that it was right to do this, then Weishenme still insisted on recruiting people?
"Manager Sun, recruiting new personnel can reduce the impact of the opening of our supermarket on the same industry in the county! The county magistrate Li Dongxing has hinted to me that we can absorb some of the employees of the central shopping mall and reduce the number of its employees. Bankruptcy is already inevitable. And our opening is undoubtedly a heavy blow to it. Moreover, even if someone takes over in the future, it is impossible to completely accept all the current employees. It's a, a heavy baggage; Second, Mr. Sun is from Hong Kong, and the rules of various businesses there have been well established. Once there is any unexpected situation, how to deal with it, everyone can be said to know. However, Pingchuan County is different, the country is implementing the policy of reform and opening up, and the economy is in a state of transition. Many laws, regulations, rules and regulations are not sound, from the beginning of these stalls to those snack owners, I am worried that once there is any food hygiene accident, it will affect the reputation of our supermarket, in that case, those stall fees. It's not enough for us to recoup our losses.
So at the beginning, it was still operated by the supermarket itself, and I believe that with Manager Sun's rigorous attitude towards management, there will be no complaints because of the lack of attention to food hygiene. Fang Mingyuan's words made Sun Zhaolun nod again and again.
"Thirdly, this is also a kind of reserve for the clerk, once you decide to open a new store in the future. Then we can rent out these booths to those owners who have been inspected for a period of time and have been able to meet our predetermined targets. These clerks can be transferred to the new store to act as the backbone liliang, so that the old can lead the new. And I believe that after this period of operation, these stalls can be rented out at a more hode price. Wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. "The slightly more troublesome part is that we have to hire a few chefs, and they are good at snacks
Sun Zhaolun pondered, clapped his hands and smiled: "Fang Shao, this is easy to do, as long as we spread the news, I believe those snack owners will definitely be tempted." Let's just add one point. All the chefs who have officially worked in Chaofu during this period, whether they themselves or those who sent him, can enjoy the priority of renting. I'm afraid that when the time comes, we won't have to recruit, and there will be a lot of cooks coming to the door."
The two of them laughed in unison, like two foxes in one big and one in one. Grandchild. Zhaolun really agreed with Fang Mingyuan's business acumen at this time, he understood more clearly than he thought, and he was more thorough, and took into account all aspects, his Jihua was obviously more stable and perfect than his original idea, not only currying favor with the county government, but also raising the rental price of the stall by the way. I believe that after a period of operation, those snack owners will willingly pay a lot of booth rental fees like begging grandpa to tell grandma. This is much easier than going to attract investment by yourself.
The next day, a news that made the owners of snacks in the entire Pingchuan County tremble quickly spread in the county, and the Carrefour supermarket was going to open a food court in the supermarket
