Chapter 335: High-profile good deeds
His gaze swept over the people present, and finally fell on Chen Mei. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhao Ming said expressionlessly: "Do you think it is more appropriate for us to open this store?" How many more are more suitable? β
Chen Meidao: "You can open anywhere, and the best ones at present are Shenzhen and Foshan, which are closest to us, and because these places are very large, you can open a few stores." As long as we have the money, we can't open as many homes as we want. β
When the others heard this, they all nodded quickly.
If they open a few more, they will have more opportunities to gain some dominance.
Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "Then you tell me, how much money do we have?" All the stores present add up, and the start-up capital should be less than 50,000, right? In this way, how to effectively set up a new store? β
The store managers who were present were not the managers of all branches, such as Uncle Lin, who did not come. However, it is already completely representative of all branches.
Chen Mei knows all the funds, and Zhao Ming also has to look at the monthly report every month, so he naturally knows the financial situation of each branch.
"50,000 yuan is enough, and it was only 10,000 yuan to open a branch in Guangzhou before, but now this money can open five." Chen Mei was still a little unwilling, and hurriedly said.
"It was before, and it's not half a year ago." Zhao Ming's eyes were like torches, and he said: "I know that you are all for the store to achieve greater development, but I'm sorry, I think the most important thing now is not to open branches all over Guangdong or the whole country, but to keep the store now!" β
Chen Mei was unwilling to say: "Hold on to today's store? Our shop is full of customers every day. The guests are like clouds, so to speak, there is no worry about the source of customers at all. It has reached the peak of development, there is no need to continue to waste money, it is important to look for breakthroughs above the quantity. β
Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "I am very disappointed when you say that. Or maybe you think that the store has grown to its peak now, but I tell you, it's not enough. Even if this is the best-developed store in the upper and lower nine, it is still far behind. β
He said it unceremoniously, mainly because he had this perception.
Without giving Chen Mei a chance to speak, Zhao Ming continued: "Do you think there are enough goods? But is it really a lot? It's called a department store, but are there really 100 kinds of products in the store? β
"The scope of this store is so small, and there are many irrational places in the layout. The quality of employees also needs to be improved, and the variety and quality of products also need to be checked at all levels and improved step by step. Zhao Ming looked directly at Chen Mei and said, "These ones, you and you, have you done your best?" β
"If you don't do any of this, even if you open a branch elsewhere, how can you compete with others?"
Chen Mei was stunned by Zhao Ming's words, and the others were also silent.
Is there really not much variety of their stores? Compared to other Guangzhou stores, it is already a lot. However, since it is a department store, how can it not even have a hundred kinds of goods?
Even if they know it, it's just a pronoun.
However, it also shows that they still have a lot of goods that are not being processed in place. It's like those fruits and vegetables, they didn't think of it before.
Those kinds of food, they didn't dare to think about it before.
Only the unthinkable, there is nothing that cannot be done. Their stores do not sell food, but there are already quite a few stores in the southern region outside of Guangdong.
In other words, those stores are already far ahead of Sealand in terms of product variety!
Or maybe the stores didn't think they could sell vegetables and meat in the store, but they definitely sold processed foods.
But these things were never thought of by the Sealand department store before.
They didn't put much effort into the layout either. It has always been in accordance with the shelves designed by Zhao Ming before the placement of goods.
However, at that time, the store was very small, and Zhao Ming was able to design only a small part of what it is today. After the expansion, the store was not properly laid out.
They have no doubt about that.
Because after Zhao Ming came back a few days ago, he immediately made some suggestions for their commodity placement.
Originally, the source of customers decreased somewhat, but it also began to increase.
At first, they thought that it was because Zhao Ming came back and attracted popularity, but now that they think about it, or the goods in the store are more comfortable for customers, they are happy to come!
As a result, other branches have followed suit, and sure enough, it has attracted many customers.
You know, those branches, Zhao Ming is not there.
And these things, they have not comprehended, let alone used them thoroughly.
Even their own stores have not developed well, and they are even thinking about expanding. Thinking of this, they all felt a little red-faced.
Zhao Mingdao: "To be honest, our store was the first to be established, but it was not the largest store. Not to mention that it is not the largest store in the country, and it is not even the largest store in Guangdong. Why is that? It's not that we don't have enough money, it's that our management is not good enough. β
"A lot of shop owners are trying to run their own store, and if they put their energy into one store, the store will get a huge boost. Only if your own main store has gained a foothold and then expands will there be a way out. β
Chen Mei lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who is blind." β
The other store managers also lowered their heads in shame, and no one dared to look at Zhao Ming's eyes.
Zhao Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Forget it, know your own shortcomings, and solve it, this is progress." In fact, it's not wrong for you to think about expansion, it's just that you're too ambitious and don't see your own strength clearly. β
"To be honest, if we have enough money in our hands, even if our store is not too well developed, we can try to open a branch somewhere else." Zhao Ming said with a smile: "Because at that time, money has been able to settle a lot of things." β
Everyone smiled bitterly, they knew that it was the boss who was comforting them.
"In this way, part of the extra funds will be used to cultivate the quality of employees and improve their self-cultivation." Zhao Ming began to make some decisions, saying: "Also, carry out some meaningful promotion, for example, you can make some donations in the name of the store and do some good deeds." β
"In this way, we can not only do good deeds, but also play a role in promotion. To increase your popularity, remember, you must make the name of Sealand Department Store. β
When the others heard this, they all felt a little uncomfortable, not that they thought it was wrong to train employees, but that they didn't quite recognize Zhao Mingrang for doing good deeds to promote the store.
"Mr. Zhao, it's okay to do good deeds, but it's not good to get interested in this way?" One of the managers frowned. Instead, he spoke for what others were thinking.
In fact, they were all honest people with some knowledge before, but after becoming store managers, they began to get into business and became a little sleek. But their essence is kind, honest and they don't want to involve the interests of these stores when doing good deeds.
In this way, it will make doing good deeds a little "dirty"!
Zhao Ming naturally understood what they meant, and shook his head secretly. He doesn't think that doing good deeds and promoting his store make it dirty.
"There are two kinds of good deeds, one is low-key good deeds. It is anonymous or few people know, secretly helping others. Zhao Ming said slowly: "There is also a kind of high-profile good deeds. This is to let others know as much as possible who is doing good deeds. β
The manager said in a deep voice, "How can there be a high-profile good deed? I've never seen it so good done with utilitarianism, it's a shame. β
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. Let's put it this way, is it a good deed for the state to support an industry? But this, you know? Is this a high-profile act of good? β
"It's too strong, state support, that's policy, how can it be regarded as a good deed? It's a good thing in itself, but it's ...... It's a different concept......"
The manager was already a little uncomfortable to speak, and he was puzzled by Zhao Ming's words.
Others also feel that their beliefs in their hearts have begun to change, is it necessary to be very high-profile to do good deeds? Wouldn't that be a bit contrary to traditional virtues?
"You guys are so naΓ―ve." Zhao Mingdao: "Don't take the country as an example, just take what you are familiar with, some time ago, the leaders of the municipal government compound organized nine of us to donate money to poverty alleviation, is this low-key or high-profile?" What is advertised? β
Everyone was stunned, it seemed that it was really the same thing.
At the beginning, Zhao Ming followed a group of leaders and bosses to donate, and he tricked many bosses to donate more money, and he donated work seats.
Many of the people in the current store are from the place where the donation was made, and some of them are assigned to other stores.
"At that time, after the donation, what did we promote?" Zhao Ming's eyes were like lightning, and he said: "We have told more people that we are doing good deeds and let more people join in." During this period, others also knew that I opened a Sealand department store, and knew me Zhao Ming, which made me more famous. β
"Is this my fault?"
Zhao Ming's words are heart-wrenching!
Chen Mei and the others were speechless when asked, and they couldn't refute it at all. Just let them accept it, but they still can't afford to pass that hurdle in their hearts.
Zhao Ming sighed: "You don't have to have a psychological burden, I believe that if you do good things in the name of the store, no one will blame us, and it will be recognized by everyone." β
Chen Mei smiled bitterly: "How can this be recognized? It's good not to be laughed at. β
Zhao Ming said solemnly: "It's all good deeds, and we are vigorously promoting good deeds." Other stores see that we can increase their fame by doing good deeds, and they will follow suit, so that there will be more people doing good deeds. β
"In this way, more people benefit, and both sides benefit. You say, 'Who will scold us?' Or maybe there will be someone, but so what? There are two sides to everything, we just need to make sure we do it right! Zhao Ming said so seriously for the first time.
