Chapter 20: Store Manager

There is a common problem in state-run units, that is, people are superfluous. Originally, things that one person could do were often arranged for more than three people to do, and it became a phenomenon that three monks had no water to eat. The department store is the main play of the commercial bureau, and the quality of the department store involves the interests of all parties. It is precisely because of the good reputation of the department store that people in small counties are trying their best to enter through connections. What started to be a company with 100 people has swelled into a large unit with thousands of people in a few years.

Department stores in various towns and villages, large factories and mines have their own retail stores. This is also an era of material shortage, and the commercial system is a measure to serve the public. However, with the continuous entry of personnel in recent years, the subordinate institutions have also become overcrowded. As long as the personnel of a commercial organization exceed the normal management, losses are inevitable. Of the more than 20 retail stores under the department store, only a few can make a profit, and most of them are loss-making. As a result, the company's top management learned from the pain and decided to reform. Let capable managers take up management positions, and carry out personnel adjustments within the company on a large scale.

The company leaders naturally heard about the things that Long Dan was messing with in the business department of the commercial street, so it was a sure thing to let Long Dan go to a retail store with the strictest losses to be the manager.

The leaders of the company called Long Dan to the company, and praised and encouraged him, only praising Long Dan as rare on the earth and rare in the sky. Long Dan also knew that this was the ecstasy soup poured by the company's leaders, so he could only drink it stupidly. Because Long Dan was an arrogant person and believed in his own ability, he decided to follow the arrangement of the company's leaders and went to the retail store of a coal mine in the southern suburbs of the city and took office.

This store is called an idle store, worthy of the name, the staff is leisurely enough, every morning at 9 o'clock is not open, less than 5 o'clock in the afternoon to close, nearly 20 people in a shop, really work less than ten. Except for the days of paychecks, you won't see most of them. Anyway, it's a state-owned unit, an iron rice bowl, everyone is mixed with life, and no one is in the way, hello, hello, everyone. The store manager doesn't talk about the staff, and the staff doesn't bother to care about the manager's bad things. Even if it is lost, it is a matter for the state, and no one really cares.

At the beginning of Long Dan's tenure, it was not easy to make too harsh rhetoric, and he didn't have the power to expel people. The only thing that can be done is to ask the company leaders to replace the two personnel of finance and purchaser, and replace them with their own acquaintances. The company's leaders also understood that they could not command without their own capable subordinates, so they agreed to this request.

After Long Dan took office, he basically didn't talk about it. Either going to chat with the residents of the mining area or wandering around the nearby bazaar. There was no movement, and for more than a month, Long Dan either invited this one to eat or that one to drink. The leaders of the company also came a few times to see that Long Dan had nothing to do, so they talked to Long Dan a few times. Asked Long Dan what difficulties he had, or what measures he had, Long Dan smiled and said: "Don't worry, take your time" The company's leaders couldn't help it, they couldn't just change to a manager and then remove it, so they went by Long Dan.

In fact, Long Dan was not idle, Long Dan went to the director's office in the mining area no less than a dozen times, and almost invited the leaders of the mine, in order to prevent heatstroke tea on the mine this year. There are 2,000 miners in the Anxian mining area, and they have to distribute 2 catties of heatstroke tea every year, which is seven or eight yuan a catty of jasmine tea, but if this business is snatched up, although the money is not very much, it is still useless to give bonuses to more than a dozen people in the store.

Long Dan got the business of heatstroke tea in the mining area, and immediately went to Jiangnan Province, Jinhua County, Jiangnan Province. Long Dan has a college classmate named Li Feng, and he didn't drink Li Feng's tea when he was in college. Every year when Li Feng returns to school from his hometown, he stays a few catties of all kinds of tea for his classmates to try. Long Dan knew that the tea in Li Feng's hometown was very cheap. Jasmine tea sold on the market for 7 or 8 yuan a catty, less than one dollar in Jinhua County, and the profits in it are extremely lucrative.

Long Dan took the local products of Luzhong City to the hometown of his classmate Li Feng, met Li Feng, and explained his thoughts in detail, and was taken by Li Feng to a tea factory that Li Feng knew, called Longsheng Tea Farm, and the owner of the tea field was called Sheng Hong, who was very hospitable. Long Dan was optimistic about the goods, paid the deposit, and returned to Luzhong City. Long Dan hurried back in order to handle the bill of exchange, at that time, it was quite troublesome to go to other places to buy goods, no more than now you can pass around the world with a bank card. In those days, in addition to carrying cash, it was impossible to handle bills of exchange, because it would be very dangerous, even if the bills of exchange were not endorsed, the amount of money had to be written, and they could not be changed. Long Dan came back and handled the bill of exchange properly, and immediately returned to the tea farm in Jinhua County, and handed the bill of exchange to Sheng Hong, the owner of the tea farm. Sheng Hong had already organized the supply of goods, rented a big car, and Long Dan escorted the car to transport the tea back to Luzhong City.

Since then, Long Dan has come to Jinhua County Longsheng Tea Farm every year to enter tea, and Long Dan has also become good friends with Sheng Hong. Long Dan then into the tea, not necessarily to go to people, a phone call over, Sheng Hong sent the tea over, Long Dan sold the tea before remitting the payment. Long Dan has become a capitalless business of tea.

Long Dan sent the tea leaves, except for the ones left in his store to sell in small quantities, and the rest were sent to the mine, and the price was 7 yuan per catty. When Long Dan settled the tea money from the mine, it was more than 30,000 yuan, and he earned more than 22,000 yuan in addition to the net profit, not to mention the tea reserved in the store. Of course, this is a business that Long Dan did with public funds, and not a single cent went into his own pocket, and all of it was handed over to finance.

Next, Long Dan asked the accountant to bring the attendance sheet, and formulated a bonus according to the attendance personnel of the previous month, with a bonus of 300 yuan per person per month, and there was no attendance. This time the pot was fried, and people who usually don't come to work also came, and came to the store to ask Long Dan why he didn't give bonuses. Long Dan was not weak, so he said: This is the system I formulated, and if I am not satisfied, I will go to the head office to find a leader. At this time, more than a dozen people who didn't come to work rushed to the office of the company leader, and they sued Long Dan. It is said that Long Dan used public funds to eat and drink in other places, and after he came back, he took the collective tea to give favors everywhere, and embezzled how much tea profits and so on.

After hearing this, the company leaders did not think so, knowing that these people could not eat grapes, they said that grapes were sour. I advise the complainant to go back to work, otherwise, Long Dan will not even pay you the salary in the next step, because Long Dan has already handed over the report of deducting the wages of the absentees to the company. When those people heard it, Long Dan turned out to be a powerful character quietly. Since then, all of them have been on time. The Anxian store didn't live up to its name, and the store became really busy in the future.

The staff were all on time, but a new problem came, a small store, with more than 20 salesmen standing. In this battle, the generally timid people don't dare to come in to buy things, and it's weird and scary to look at. So, Long Dan divided more than 20 people into two shifts, and the morning shift opened on time at 7:30 p.m. and left work at 2 p.m. The evening shift starts at 1:30 p.m. and leaves at 8 p.m., so that the time is staggered, and the employees are given rest and have their own extra time. For a while, everyone thought that this method was very good, and they all praised Long Dan for formulating a good system.

The personnel are all on time, and the remaining problem is the service problem. Longdan has established a store out-of-stock registration system in the store. In addition to the shortage of materials can not be obtained, Long Dan also often organizes to go to the Jinwu small commodity market in Jiangnan to purchase, at that time, the Jinwu small commodity market in Jiangnan Province has just been established, and its reputation is not very big, but there are many goods that the northern market does not have. The goods that Long Dan came in from the Jinwu Small Commodity Market were very popular with the people in the mining area, and the prices were cheaper than the local ones. But Long Dan's profits are quite a lot, and they have doubled, but the local people don't know it.

Under the management of Long Dan, the store quickly reversed the loss, and from the second month, in addition to the payment of workers' wages, there was a large surplus, unlike before, which had to transfer funds from the head office every month to pay wages. The store has become formalized, and Long Dan has also set up its own small canteen in the inner courtyard of the store, and the staff of the store eat for free. Sometimes, the company's leaders come to inspect and eat in the store's canteen, and they are full of praise. The leisure store has become a veritable leisure again.

A year has passed, and the life of the store manager of Long Dan is leisurely. At this moment, the company's appointment came down, and Long Dan was asked to go to the company as the deputy manager. Long Dan smiled in his heart, knowing that he had come to pick peaches, and he also knew that his troubles had also come.
