Chapter 561: Opening a Supermarket

After Lin Qiangsheng communicated with Mayor Miyamoto, the preferential measures of the municipal government also came down, and a large piece of land was drawn in the southwest of the new industrial zone, with a huge area of more than 8 square kilometers, to establish an industrial park for small and medium-sized enterprises.

After the issuance of this policy, the internal publicity work of Dongxing Group has suddenly become much better, and many people who had ideas but concerns before are also ready to submit business applications and go out of the enterprise to start a business!

In the mid-80s, the economic situation in China changed most drastically, and government departments were overcrowded during this period, and many localities even encouraged officials and cadres to take the lead in doing business in the sea, thus playing an exemplary role in society, and it can be said that the first wave of official resignations began at this time.

Outside the secretarial department, Lin Qiangsheng deliberately set up an entrepreneurial leading group, and the leader of the group was Lin Xiang himself, so that the entrepreneurial materials handed in below could be seen at the first time, so that he would not miss some good ideas!

Lin Xiang has more than 20 days of vacation, and the summer vacation of American colleges is generally not released, because many people also want to take classes and get credits during the summer vacation, so the summer vacation of American universities is generally open, of course, it doesn't matter if you want to have a pleasant vacation, and the winter vacation of American college students is about 20 days, starting in mid-December, and Christmas is included.

Therefore, Lin Xiang and they all have a vacation for nearly a month, and she doesn't want to be idle these days, so she went to live at her mother-in-law's house for two days, and the child stayed there for her grandparents to be rare, and the little guy died happily there, because there are too many delicious foods, all of which are his own, and he can't eat them!

Lin Xiang stayed at home for a day and then came to work, according to her, she didn't know what her brother had made the company look like when she was away, and she had to take a look.

Today Lin Johnson pulled her and Pierce, the head of McKinsey Asia who has returned to the United States. After a transatlantic phone call, Lin Qiangsheng congratulated Pierce on a happy holiday, and although Christmas had passed for a few days, Pierce was still very happy.

"Hi, Mr. Lin, thank you, my family and I are very grateful. You take care of us while in China! Pierce said happily, and his wife also said hello to Lin Qiangsheng and Lin Xiang.

In the past two years, McKinsey has completed a number of integration work and system transformation of Dongxing Group, so that the company has grown into a new economy with a modern structure, McKinsey not only brought advanced management experience and a complete set of organizational structure, but also recommended many outstanding industry elites like Lin Johnson!

Now Lin Johnson has a new idea, so he immediately thought of asking McKinsey for help. He smiled and said: "Pierce, I now have a new idea, I want to build a large supermarket in Bencheng, according to the business model of the supermarket chain in Europe and the United States, first build a few more in Bincheng, and gradually expand to various provinces in China, what do you think?" ”

Pierce spent two years in China. He still knew something about the country, and he thought for a while and said, "According to my observations." China does not lack purchasing power, and the idea of opening a large supermarket chain is very feasible, but I would like to remind you that the supply chain of supermarket chains must be quite perfect, otherwise there is likely to be a crisis of running out of stock, which is a big blow to both merchants and manufacturers. I'm afraid there will be some impact on the brand, you also need to do a good job of contacting the manufacturer in advance, and it is best to choose a wide range of suppliers. My idea is that China is now a seller's market, and as long as the goods are good, there is definitely a market. Now is a great time to make a lot of money! ”

Pierce's two years in China can be regarded as a love and hate for this country, the love is that the market in this country seems to be just starting, it is enterprises and merchants who determine the market price, almost as long as the thing is good, everything can be sold, even he feels excited, as long as the American goods are sold to China, you can definitely make a lot of money, but this country is also very conservative and stubborn, there is almost no entertainment there, life is very boring, and government supervision seems to be very strict!

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, Pierce's statement is very right, now is the seller's market, the era of the seller's decision!

The supermarket is in the volume of goods, fast forward and fast sales, if the manufacturer's supply is weak, lack of efficiency, it will indeed be very annoying, and Pierce did not say one thing, that is, after the establishment of large supermarkets, whether there are so many goods in the country can be provided, now it is the eighties, it is still in a period of material shortage, what is the shortage of materials, buy a TV and queue up, this is the shortage!

Lin Xiang also chatted with Pierce for a few words, although after McKinsey took over the management of the company, Lin Xiang and some people went abroad to study, but they still met and dealt with each other.

Lin Johnson said to Pierce: "I have decided on the idea of building a supermarket, and I hope that McKinsey will provide me with some professional managers with experience in supermarket chain management, and give me some manufacturers who manufacture supermarket equipment!" ”

Pierce asked, "You mean cash registers, coding machines, all that?" Okay, I'll contact some manufacturers and ask them to send you some information as soon as possible! ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Then thank you, in addition, I also need shelves, trolleys, labels, decorative materials, lamps, in short, the hardware and software of supermarket facilities that can be used in a supermarket, please help me find some providers, so that they can contact me as soon as possible!" ”

"Oh yes, the elevator manufacturer also helped me contact it, to be excellent, safe, this is the most important!" Lin Qiangsheng suddenly remembered that the elevator can't be sloppy!

Pierce wrote it down and said, "Mr. Lin, we have a lot of resources at McKinsey & Company in this area, please wait for my news, and I will contact the manufacturer for you as soon as possible." ”

Lin Qiangsheng is very grateful, as far as he knows, there is no manufacturer of supermarket equipment in China, and he can't find a manufacturer if he wants to buy these things, he wants to order a part in the United States, and then rely on the imitation of the gourd to draw a scoop, although these things are simple but complicated, he doesn't draw.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Xiang asked suspiciously: "Johnson & Johnson, do you think that the current situation in China, the supermarket has developed, are you in a hurry, even if we are full of goods, I'm afraid the people will see more and buy less, right?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Sister, I think you are a little underestimating the purchasing power of the Chinese people!" ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" Lin Xiang asked curiously, to be honest, she is also very envious of those large supermarket chains abroad, shopping in this kind of place is really a pleasure, quiet and elegant undisturbed environment, you can pick your favorite goods, she likes to take her children and her husband to the supermarket together.

Lin Qiangsheng picked up a piece of information on the table and threw it to Lin Xiang, saying: "Actually, there are already several supermarkets in China, and there are really a lot of customers!"

I sent someone to find out that in April 1981, the Friendship Store supermarket in Yuzhou opened, and all the goods were displayed on the shelves, and consumers could choose freely, which was the first supermarket in China. At that time, it was not better than now, the domestic goods were in a tense period, most of them were still supplied by tickets, and they had to queue up to buy a really good shirt, and the people of Xuzhou took the lead in introducing the supermarket business model, which shows that there are people who are more courageous than us!

After three years, in April this year, Jinghua self-selected shopping mall in the north. The supermarket was officially opened on September 28. I've heard that on the first day of opening, many citizens thought they were going to take what they needed GC masters. The righteous era has really arrived, so I called relatives and friends to the supermarket to get the satisfactory goods, and then swaggered out of the mall, and finally of course, under the guidance of the public security officers, the people understood that their choice was not for nothing, but still to pay! ”

When Lin Xiang heard the two things mentioned by his younger brother, he knew that there were already supermarkets in the country, and they were first established by state-run stores, so there must still be some scale.

Thinking of this, she was happy, and said with a smile: "I really didn't know that there were supermarkets in China, it seems that my sister is outdated." Well, my sister will help you build this supermarket, and it will be a lot easier for your parents to buy groceries! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "That's not necessarily! ”

Thinking of the crazy flow of people when the domestic supermarket opened, it is estimated that it will definitely surprise my sister!

He smiled, and then said: "To establish a large supermarket, the most troublesome thing is to organize the supply in the early stage, in order to plan smoothly, we don't need to charge any entry fees, as long as the quality of the things is qualified, you can put them on the shelves, I estimate that it will take half a year to organize, if you think you don't delay your studies, do it." ”

Lin Xiang thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Well, okay, then I can only work hard for my sister, I study while working, many college students abroad usually have part-time jobs, and there is nothing!" (To be continued.) )
