Chapter 126: Carrefour Supermarket (Part II)

Chapter 126 Carrefour Supermarket (II)

The person who spoke was Fang Mingyuan, the supermarket opened, he also brought Zhao Ya and Feng Qian to join in the fun, Liu Yong, the little tail, had to follow to see the world after hearing the news, as for Aso Xiangyue, she also followed when she had nothing to do.

"Huh? Fang Shao is also here! Li Dongxing smiled. Regarding everything that happened in Haizhuang Town in the last few days, Guan Yuewu had already reported to him in detail. And these deputy county magistrates, who have served in Pingchuan County for many years, naturally have snake paths and rat paths, and they also have some understanding of this time from different channels.

At this time, these people in Pingchuan County already had a new level of understanding of the Fang family's energy. If the arrival of Ma Yongfu and Yang Junyi when the Fang family restaurant opened, they realized that the Fang family also had someone to take care of in the province, then the fall of Tong Dong and Wang Jiong was undoubtedly the Fang family's official show of its real influence to the outside world! Tong Dong is a member of the municipal party committee of Tongchuan City and the head of the police department, and in terms of rank, he is no less qualified than Li Dongxing, and he is also qualified to be the secretary of the county party committee in Pingchuan County. But from Tong Qinghua's incident in Pingchuan County to Tong Dong's isolation and review by the Provincial Police Department, it was only a few days!

These people are all people in the officialdom system, and they naturally understand that according to the practice in this officialdom, if they are not 100% sure, even Yang Junyi, the director of the Provincial Police Department, will not do things so thoroughly and leave no room for half a point. Although it is only an isolation review, these people already have a few Tong Dong and Wang Jiong's careers in their hearts, at least it has come to a complete end! Even if you don't go to jail, you won't be able to return to your current job in the future. A member of the municipal party committee, the chief of the police department with real power, fell in this way......

This result made these leaders of Pingchuan County naturally look up to the energy of the Fang family, and secretly rejoiced that the relationship between the county and the Fang family has always been harmonious and friendly, and the two sides are still mutually beneficial, no one has the idea of beating the Fang family, of course, most of the credit is due to Li Dongxing, for a new county magistrate who has just taken office, everyone has to give some face.

"Uncle Li, hello uncles! Fang Shao or something, it's just a friend's game language, and the uncles still call me Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan greeted him cordially and friendly, and the people who were called naturally nodded in response. As the leaders of Pingchuan County, they naturally know that the core of the Fang family should be this young man; And it's not Fang Bin who has been standing in the foreground, it's just a transitional figure before Fang Mingyuan can officially stand up and take charge of the Fang family's industry.

Li Dongxing smiled slightly, and said noncommittally to Fang Mingyuan's words: "Just now you said that the benefits are not only this, so what are the benefits?" ”

Fang Mingyuan said with a smile: "Uncle Li is right just now, such a counterless arrangement, on the one hand, it can be used by customers to check the quality of the goods nearby, on the other hand, the goods do not need to take into account the white eyes of the salesmen, everyone will naturally feel comfortable, and they will prefer to come to us to shop in the future." Is this a business, but it is very important to win repeat customers. In addition, by eliminating the counter and eliminating the need for a salesperson like ours, we can save the space occupied by the counter and avoid the problem of quarrels between customers and salespeople. In fact, most of the clerks in this supermarket are loading and sorting goods, and they will never disturb customers' purchases unless customers inquire. ”

Li Dongxing nodded, in fact, Fang Mingyuan still had an important point that he hadn't mentioned, that is, this could also save the cost of hiring a large number of salespeople. As a result, the labor costs of supermarkets have been greatly reduced. The business area of such a large supermarket is close to two-thirds of the central shopping mall in Pingchuan County, but the total number of its employees is only sixty or seventy.

As if seeing Li Dongxing's thoughts, Sun Zhaolun smiled on the side: "County Magistrate Li, it is precisely because of our substantial savings in labor costs that our goods can be greatly transferred to the residents in the county. According to our incomplete statistics, compared with other businesses in the county, the price of the same goods in our supermarket can be 10 to 15 percent lower, and some special goods are even lower than 50 percent of other merchants. ”

Li Dongxing couldn't help but be moved, he was not the leader who was high above and did not understand folk oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, and naturally understood that if this product was 10 to 15 percent lower than that of other merchants, it would be very attractive to the residents of the county, which meant that everyone would increase their income by 10 percent in disguise. In the 80s, most families in China spent almost the vast majority of their expenses on "food, clothing, and use".

"The opening of such a supermarket is undoubtedly a good thing for the majority of county residents, but the employees of the commercial system in the county are afraid that the days will be difficult in the future!" Almost immediately, Li Dongxing thought about the negative impact of this. Especially the shopping mall in the center of the county, which is only a few hundred meters away from here, I am afraid that it will face a catastrophe. However, he also understands that the current dilemma of the county center shopping mall is that there is no threat from the Fang family's supermarket, and it will not last long.

As the group walked deeper into the supermarket, the entrance of the supermarket began to release people inward one after another. Fortunately, Fang Mingyuan, who had experience in his previous life, had already expected that there might be a large number of people, so he had already applied to Guan Yuewu, and there were many policemen at the door to maintain order, so although there was a little chaos, it didn't cause any big impact.

The clerks in the supermarket are usually divided into two shifts, but today they are all on the move, and some of them are responsible for guiding these customers in various places. The loudspeaker also began to broadcast some precautions when shopping at the supermarket, but even so, the residents of Pingchuan County, who had never seen a supermarket shopping by themselves, were still stunned by what they saw.

"On that day, I had the impression that all the residents of the city were coming to the Carrefour supermarket, and the flow of people was simply endless, and there were people squeezing out of the supermarket with large bags and small bags, and at the same time there was a steady stream of people squeezing in. People are desperately trying to move back as if they don't need money for the goods in the supermarket. I'm sure there were a lot of people who came to the supermarket at least two or three times that day, and each time they came home with a full load. It wasn't until a few years later that Qian Lusheng was deeply moved when he talked about the scene of that day. They were forty or so people, but they had stood at this gate for a day, and their voices were hoarse. However, Qian Lusheng was also very proud when he talked about this, as a reward for their help in maintaining order, the Fang family provided them with water and food during the day, and the treatment was good, and Zuihou also gave them shopping coupons ranging from 70 to 100 yuan each, which they could take to the Fang family supermarket in the future to exchange for goods of equivalent value. And this time, it undoubtedly made the police in Pingchuan County realize once again that the benefits of going out for the Fang family's industry are great.

"That day, we felt tired! Very tired, tired! The colleagues who are responsible for loading and sorting the goods, when the door closes at night, they all want to lie down on the ground and sleep directly. During this day, they had no time to rest at all, and we even ate, drank, and went to the toilet as fast as we could. The goods in the warehouse are simply transported to the shelves like flowing water, but how much you send it, it will definitely be sold out in less than half an hour. To be honest, I never thought that people would be so crazy about purchasing. Yes, I think it can only be described as 'crazy'. At that time, I was a member of the team responsible for guiding customers, because this kind of counterless self-selection supermarket is still a new thing in Pingchuan County, and many rules are not familiar to everyone, such as some customers open the package to taste things in the product area, which is not allowed in the supermarket. At the end of the day, my voice was hoarse and speechless, and it was like smoke. Those sisters who are responsible for collecting money, at the end of the day, do not know how many bills they have in their hands, but they know that every half hour, they have to hand over the large bills in their hands to the financial office. However, the boss is very good, we are all working overtime that day, and each person sent a shopping coupon of 30 yuan in the evening. Li Yanzhi, who is already the manager of Carrefour Pingchuan store, still remembers that day vividly when she looks back on that day a few years later.

"That day, of course I remember, it was a shopping experience that we people in Pingchuan County have never had before, and I think it will be hard for anyone who has experienced that day to forget. It was a Sunday, and everyone had been thinking about it for a long time because of the opening of Fangjia Supermarket. First, everyone thinks that this Fang family is very kind, do you know that the families of the soldiers who died for the country and the policemen who died in the line of duty have a difficult life most of the time, and there is no pillar in the family, if it can get better, it will be a strange thing. It's not that you don't want to help, but in those years, every family in every family didn't have a few dollars left in a year, and they couldn't take care of themselves, how could they manage others? This Fang family hired these people with high salaries, which can be regarded as solving their living difficulties, and everyone thought that they should be cheered for; Second, before the opening, this family didn't know how many leaflets were distributed, and the content on it was very attractive. Well, I remember that there is oil, eggs, and meat on it, and the price is not less than 10% cheaper than outside, and I remember very clearly that on the opening day, their special item was a pot, well, there was a steamer, and a wok, and the price was half of the original central shopping mall in the county. In those years, if you can save a few cents when you buy something, the old ladies in the family will be excited for a while, not to mention that they will save at least a few dollars at once. I estimate that if the supply of Fangjia supermarket is sufficient that day, almost every household in Pingchuan County will have to buy one or two pots! A resident of Pingchuan County, who was already a stall owner in the small commodity wholesale market, couldn't help but have some eyebrows fluttering when he talked about the scene at that time.

"To be honest, although we realized at that time that the business model of Fangjia Supermarket, well, that is, Carrefour Supermarket, would inevitably have a huge impact on the old state-owned business, but the subsequent sales situation still surprised us. Not just one day, but for nearly a week after the opening, we had to send a dozen or even twenty or thirty policemen every day to maintain order, but it was originally a warehouse of the police station, and there was a station nearby. In just seven days, the turnover of Fangjia Supermarket almost topped the sales volume of the county's original central shopping mall in three and a half months, and it was only a lot more! At that time, it was really shocking to our county leaders! He was already the director of the Weinan City Bureau of Commerce, and he was the director of the Pingchuan County Bureau of Commerce at the time, and he had witnessed that day, and he said with emotion at this time, "Our group of leaders in Pingchuan County, except for those who really can't support the wall, have benefited in the development of the Fang family in those years." The residents of Pyeongcheon County have also benefited! ”

When the courtyard door of the supermarket slowly closed, the people in the supermarket breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and this day, which can only be described as "crazy", finally got through. Turning back to look at the empty shelves, people smiled happily. Although the final financial statistics have not yet been released, the first day of this opening was clearly a complete success.

Fang Mingyuan looked at his watch, the hour hand had already pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, and the supermarket that was supposed to close at eight o'clock turned out to be delayed until ten o'clock. Zhao Ya and Feng Qian had already been sent back to Haizhuang Town by him after nightfall, after all, they still had to go to school tomorrow.

He looked at Fang Bin and Sun Zhaolun, who were also excited, and said with a smile: "Uncle, Manager Sun, I see that the time is not early, those clerks whose homes are far away, let them go home first, send a car to deliver it, and ensure safety." As for those who are close to home, you might as well ask the police outside to help escort them for a while. ”

"Fang Shao, this will open again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the supermarket can't be so messy." Sun Zhaolun hesitated for a moment and said, "Fang Shao, otherwise, everyone will arrive early tomorrow morning, and then clean up the mess and reload the goods." After getting along these days, he also found that Fang Mingyuan was not ignorant of the supermarket industry, but there were some things and ideas that he thought more thoroughly than he, an old supermarket practitioner.

"But this replenishment will be handed over to Manager Sun, if the fleet is not enough, Chen Zhong said that he can help contact the team of the supply and marketing cooperative." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"That's great!" Sun Zhaolun was overjoyed. Today's shipments are really beyond his expectations, and the amount of goods that was originally prepared for three days is now left. Next, for him, urging goods to manufacturers around the world has naturally become the top priority in his work! Supermarkets are also equipped with fleets, but no one thinks they have more vehicles at their disposal.

Carrefour supermarket has made a good start!
