Chapter 102: Domestic Layout
As the days passed, Columbia University had officially opened. In addition, Tang Bao still has to secretly transfer funds to the military, and there is really no way to delay it in China.
But.
Domestic affairs have not been completely arranged, and Tang Bao is not very relieved to leave.
……
this day.
On weekend mornings, Tang Bao and his sister-in-law Tang Hui came to the headquarters of Fule Supermarket, where he was going to hold a high-level meeting of the company before leaving to make arrangements for the planning of the domestic industry.
"Xiaobao, the headquarters of your Fule Supermarket is luxuriously decorated, but it is more than a hundred times stronger than the office environment of Tangbao Construction Engineering Company." Tang Hui walked into the headquarters, constantly looked at everything around, looked at the neat and shiny decoration, and couldn't help but feel authentic.
"Uh...... Sister-in-law, you can rent a high-end office building first. Tang Bao said with a smile, although the sister-in-law took over the Tang Dynasty Construction Engineering Company, responsible for the tourism development project of the ancient city of the Republic of China and the business district planning project led by Liu Mingyang, she did not leave her trading company, and has always stayed in her original office to work. The working environment is naturally not as comfortable as that of Fule Supermarket!
"Not really. My old office was pretty good, but it was a bit crowded with a lot of staff. In the commercial district project, we have invested in the construction of five buildings, especially one of the Xintiandi commercial buildings, the design renderings are really very good, and when the construction and decoration are completed, I will directly move and requisition the building. The sister-in-law said with a smile.
Tang Bao didn't know the specific situation of the business district planning project, so he could only say: "Anyway, the Tang Dynasty Construction Engineering Company is handed over to you, and you can do whatever you want." ”
"It's fine if you don't object."
"Uh...... Sister-in-law, if you like it, it's fine. Don't say it's just for the company's own use, even if it's for your own use, I won't object to it. You're my dearest sister-in-law! Tang Bao said, to be honest, he really thought about giving the entire Tang Bao Construction Engineering Company to his sister-in-law. But he understood that with his sister-in-law's character, he would definitely not accept it, so he didn't bring it up, planning to find an opportunity in the future.
"Giggles, it's nonsense, the Xintiandi commercial building is twenty-nine stories high, who have you ever seen who can live in such a building." Tang Hui said, the smile on her face explained her words to Tang Bao. It is very useful.
Tang Bao and Tang Hui chatted while walking, and soon they came to the conference room of the headquarters of Fule Supermarket, while Fang Dekai and other senior personnel of Fule Supermarket had been waiting for a long time.
"Hello boss, Miss Tang, hello." Fang Dekai got up to greet him and greeted.
"Hmm. Sit down, you're welcome! ”
Tang Bao, the big boss, appeared, and of course many high-level personnel had to stand up to greet him. Tang Bao didn't want to engage in so much red tape, so he just waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit directly.
See here.
And everybody sat down honestly.
Tang Bao sat directly in the middle, sister-in-law and Fang Dekai sat on both sides, and the meeting officially began.
"I haven't been back home for long. However, I have invested in a large number of industries in China, and although the investment may not have achieved the desired benefits, I have great confidence in the domestic market. And whether it is Fule Supermarket or the project of Tangbao Construction Engineering Company. It's all going well. I am very happy with this. I also hope that you can continue to maintain and forge ahead! "Sit down. Tang Bao made a brief opening remark.
"Well, Mr. Fang, talk about your short-term goals for Fule Supermarket." Fule Supermarket is a retail channel that Tang Bao attaches great importance to, with strong potential and influence.
"Okay."
Fang Dekai was named, but he did not panic and answered calmly.
"Well, I'll talk about the expansion goals of Fule Supermarket first. The primary market target is of course Kyoto City, which has already set up eight outlets, and there are new expansion plans to increase the number of Fortune supermarkets in Kyoto City to 15. Our goal is to dig deep into the retail market in Kyoto City, and in this way, we will build the foundation of Fuller Supermarket and become the absolute leader in the retail market in Kyoto City. Fang Dekai said.
Tang Bao also nodded from time to time.
Fang Dekai explained Kyoto City in such detail, which naturally attaches great importance to the retail market in Kyoto, and he wants to seize an important market to dig deeper.
"In addition to Kyoto, we have also set several important market targets, namely the establishment of five to ten Fule supermarket outlets in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places. Of course, it will also make adjustments up and down according to the actual situation. Fang Dekai said.
"Expand only in these four cities?" When Fang Dekai paused, Tang Bao grabbed the gap and asked.
"It's basically the same. Well, because it is a direct expansion, it is necessary to cultivate a large number of branch manager talents, and in the case of insufficient talents to support rapid expansion, Fule Supermarket will take the lead in formulating an expansion strategy around these four major cities in the past two years. Of course, it will also expand outwards around these four major cities...... "Fang Dekai explained.
Tang Bao wondered, "Huh? Haven't you been training people lately? Not hard enough? ”
"Boss, ordinary cashier, tallying, finance, warehousing and other employees are relatively easy to train in large quantities, but when it comes to the management of branches, not only need a certain talent, but also have a certain management experience. It is much slower to cultivate, and ideally, it will take at least half a year to train a batch. Fang Dekai said. He was originally trying to seize the supermarket chain market at any cost, but after a period of operation, he found that there was simply not enough management talent to cope with the rapid expansion.
Helpless.
Fang Dekai could only settle for the next best thing, focusing on picking out the four major cities for in-depth excavation, and slowly expanding to surrounding cities on this basis.
"Hmm."
Without sufficient management personnel, Tang Bao was also helpless. But this is the situation in China, and it is difficult for him to solve this dilemma.
"The investment department of Fule Supermarket is also a key point, and after a period of exploration, it has reached investment cooperation agreements with many manufacturers in Kyoto City. These cooperative manufacturers will also become the cornerstone of the stable supply of Fowler Supermarket...... We plan to carry out in-depth exploratory investment cooperation, and we expect to reach cooperation relationships with at least 1,000 manufacturers in the next two years. Fang Dekai continued.
After a short pause and a few breaths of relief, Fang Dekai continued to speak: "Hmm." In addition, with the expansion of Fowl Supermarket, we will simultaneously implement the Fowl Supermarket membership card to increase customer loyalty. A series of large-scale advertising campaigns are carried out to this end. ”
……
Fang Dekai seems to have a clear idea of the business strategy of Fule Supermarket, and he talked endlessly for half an hour, and his ideas are also very clear.
"Boss, this is the goal of our Fule Supermarket!" After Fang Dekai finished the last point, he set his eyes on Tang Bao, waiting for Tang Bao's ruling.
Tang Bao said, "Yes. The overall expansion strategy is no problem...... It is also in line with the domestic situation. However, Mr. Fang, you seem to have forgotten a little. ”
Seeing Fang Dekai's confused expression, Tang Bao continued: "I have reminded you to carry out moderate network expansion in the border cities of the three eastern provinces, especially Longjiang Province. However, Tang Bao's face was a little gloomy, what he had told him a long time ago, it was obvious that Fang Dekai didn't take it to heart. No boss likes his subordinates to take their orders as the wind in their ears, and Tang Bao is no exception.
"But ......"
"Nothing. Even if there is a shortage of personnel, it is necessary to open a Fule supermarket in the border area of Longjiang Province as soon as possible, waiting for the opportunity to enter the retail market of the Soviet Union! Tang Bao didn't give Fang Dekai a chance to quibble. There are only a few years left before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Tang Bao needs Fule Supermarket to be at the forefront and set up a base in advance.
He knew that the Soviet Union was already having a hard time, and all kinds of daily necessities in the country were slowly falling into scarcity, and there were already soldiers on the border secretly stealing and selling arms in exchange for daily necessities. Of course, compared to the crazy scenario of exchanging heavy weapons such as planes and tanks for supplies in the future, these are simply not a problem.
"Boss, I think Fule Supermarket should focus on the domestic market, and it is not very wise to rashly enter the Soviet market when the domestic foundation is unstable. Moreover, even if they wanted to enter the international market, the Soviet Union should not be the target of selection, for example, Hong Kong, the United States, Europe and other places are better than the Soviet Union......" Fang Dekai retorted.
Normally.
Fang Dekai's analysis was correct, but unfortunately, he did not know that the Soviet Union would undergo great changes, let alone the opportunities contained in the great changes. The real purpose of Tang Bao's establishment of the Happiness supermarket network in the border area of Longjiang Province was not the Soviet retail market, but to wait for a frenzied speculative opportunity.
But.
Fang Dekai's spirit of daring to withstand pressure and tell the truth is commendable.
"The Soviet Union is an opportunity, and I don't want to enter it. It is only to set up a front line on the border of Longjiang Province as a springboard, and if there is an opportunity, it can also pour into the Soviet retail market earlier and seize a piece of the market first. Tang Bao couldn't explain the details in detail, so he could only say so.
In fact.
One of the key points of Tang Bao's convening of this meeting was to ask Fang Dekai to lay out on the border of Longjiang Province and wait for the opportunity to make a fortune after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
"Boss, I see."
Listening to Tang Bao say that it was not in-depth, but just a springboard in the border area, he could accept it. Be prepared, although the current USSR is not suitable for entry, but who can say clearly in the future.
"You can understand that nature is the best, Mr. Fang, the Fule supermarket outlets in the border area of Longjiang Province must be done well, and the scale is not small, so you must not be negligent!" Tang Bao reminded.
"Yes, boss."
Fang Dekai answered, and at the same time kept recording with his pen.
……
See here.
Tang Baocai nodded with satisfaction.
The matter of Fule Supermarket was arranged, and Tang Hui felt that he needed to report the situation of the Tang Dynasty Construction Engineering Company next, so he opened the notebook. In this kind of public occasion, she is just a subordinate and Tang Bao's sister-in-law, and she must maintain a clear distinction between public and private, otherwise it is easy to destroy Tang Bao's authoritative position in the company.
