The next day, Lai Xiaohu did not go back, but stayed in the capital to follow Zhang Ying to understand the situation here, in addition to going to see the first branch in the capital that had already opened, the other five branches in the preparatory stage Lai Xiaohu also went to learn about it. These five stores are very well selected in terms of location, and the decoration inside has also been renovated, although these five new stores have not yet opened, but the recruited employees have already begun to work.

In the days leading up to the opening, Zhang Ying asked the old people in the store to give some training to these new employees, whether it is etiquette or practical business, these people have a lot to learn. Seeing Zhang Ying's arrangement here, Lai Xiaohu made a phone call to Song Yaqiao and asked her to also gather those new clerks in advance and not ask them to work formally, but it is also good to use this period of time to conduct some work training, and this can also save a lot of trouble after opening in the future.

After staying in the capital for two days, Lai Xiaohu basically understood the things here, and he was also relieved to let Zhang Ying do it alone, and after discussing the opening date with her, Lai Xiaohu went to Shanghai again, and now Lai Xiaohu is needed to preside over the overall situation.

When he came back, the decoration of the five stores had been completed, and knowing that Lai Xiaohu was back, Lang Yi called Lai Xiaohu to tell him about the completion of the renovation.

After receiving a call from Lang Yi, Lai Xiaohu did not go back to the hotel, and went directly to find Lang Yi by car, and a person in charge of the decoration company turned around the five stores, for the decoration of these five stores, Lai Xiaohu basically did not find fault, according to the contract signed by the two parties before, after Lai Xiaohu passed the acceptance, he directly took the person in charge to pay for the decoration to the other party's account, so far the contract between the two parties has basically ended. Of course, if there are problems with these decorations in the future, Lai Xiaohu can also claim compensation against the repair company according to the contract.

Seeing Lai Xiaohu pay the money so happily, the person in charge of the decoration company was also very happy, and it is really rare to have such a neat and generous partner like Lai Xiaohu. Even while being happy, the other party had to invite Lai Xiaohu and Lang Yi to a meal. Lai Xiaohu did not refuse, the other party invited to dinner not only to express his praise for making money so quickly, but also to contact the feelings of both parties through this meal, and then lay a good foundation for the next cooperation.

The other party attaches so much importance to the relationship with himself, Lai Xiaohu is not surprised, just take this time. The five stores were renovated at a total cost of nearly two million. Not only the design and decoration, but also the decoration materials required for the decoration are purchased through the decoration company. It costs a lot, entirely because Lai Xiaohu has to pursue high-end luxury decoration effects, and in order to highlight green and nature, Lai Xiaohu also uses a lot of expensive green decoration materials. The total area of the five stores is not much. However, no matter how little you can't help but use expensive decoration materials, the cost is naturally ridiculously high. Of course. For Lai Xiaohu, these are all worth it. In these years, not only people rely on clothing, but even the storefront is the same, the store that looks tattered and tattered, who will patronize it, and the store facing high-end customers must have high-end decoration.

And this time, the decoration company also made a lot of money on Lai Xiaohu, nearly more than two million decoration money. Even if they kept their profits very low at the beginning, after the total amount was large, the net profit of the decoration company had to exceed hundreds of thousands.

This time, I tasted the sweetness here in Lejia Supermarket, and the other party immediately promoted Lejia Supermarket to a very important customer. Especially after learning that Lejia Supermarket may open a new store in the future, the decoration company immediately made up its mind and must get the next decoration contract of Lejia Supermarket.

The guests on both sides enjoyed the meal, Lai Xiaohu and Lang Yi enjoyed each other's compliments, and the person in charge of the decoration company was familiar with Lai Xiaohu. However, for the future decoration contract, Lai Xiaohu will not hand it over to the other party so simply, and when he opens a new store in the future, he can bid according to the last way.

After going back in the evening, Song Yaqiao found Lai Xiaohu and said that there was something important to say, and after the two returned to the room, Song Yaqiao took out the resumes she had received during the previous recruitment and said, "I think we have to recruit ten to fifteen more people." ”

"Why?" Hearing that ten to fifteen people were going to be recruited, Lai Xiaohu suddenly asked in surprise, didn't they all plan it before. The managers of the five new stores are all recruited from Jincheng, and the remaining twenty new store employees are needed. In the newly established Tianjin area, a regional manager is required, as well as administrative supervisors, financial supervisors, marketing supervisors, production supervisors and transportation supervisors established under the region. The managers and supervisors in the area are all drawn from Jincheng, but in order to reduce the workload, each manager needs to have an assistant. Among them, the assistant in charge of transportation asked Lang Yi to be promoted from the transportation team. The rest also require an assistant manager and four assistant supervisors.

All the employees added up to a total of 25 new employees in Shanghai. This number was determined after Lai Xiaohu and Song Yaqiao discussed, why did they suddenly increase the number of people now, and it increased so much.

"We used to think only about the benefits of those graduates, but we ignored the hassle of using them." Seeing that Lai Xiaohu was puzzled, Song Yaqiao said, "Don't forget that they haven't graduated yet, and they will start preparing for their graduation thesis and defense after May, we can't let them give up their degrees because of work, so it is inevitable that these employees will have to take leave." ”

"And our store has five employees just running normally, and if someone takes a leave of absence, it will inevitably be too busy." After Song Yaqiao finished speaking, she looked at Lai Xiaohu and waited for his answer.

"Damn." After listening to Song Yaqiao's words, Lai Xiaohu immediately patted his forehead, "How did I forget this." ”

"That's because you haven't graduated yet, so you probably didn't pay attention to these things, and I can't blame you, blame me for forgetting to remind you in the first place." In Song Yaqiao's opinion, Lai Xiaohu forgot this naturally because he is still in his third year of college, and he has not experienced the graduation thesis and defense, so it is normal not to pay attention to these. At that time, she, a person who had already graduated, forgot about this, and it was a little undeserved, so after thinking about these things, the most self-blaming person was Song Yaqiao, fortunately it had not opened yet, otherwise this negligence would have made a big mistake.

Then Lai Xiaohu thought of Zhang Ying again, Zhang Ying may have noticed this when recruiting, so the employees she recruited there are basically those who have graduated.

"In that case, let's select another group of employees from among them." After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu said to Song Yaqiao.

After Song Yaqiao told her plan. Lai Xiaohu also agreed, there are now twenty-five new employees, and after recruiting ten to fifteen, basically there will be two to three more people in each store. At the time of distribution, these employees will also be divided into one for each store according to the school. People who don't put a school together in one store. Normally, there are a lot of them, but by the time the students start to graduate in May. You can let them take turns to ask for leave. In one store, two or three people are on leave at a time, and the remaining five people are just enough to keep the store running.

"Hey, it doesn't seem like anything is so rosy." Thinking of this, Lai Xiaohu said, "I thought that these graduates would be easy to use, but I didn't expect that there would be trouble." ”

Song Yaqiao suddenly said on the side at this time. "This trouble is unavoidable, and in that case, why don't we turn this trouble into a benefit."

"How?" Lai Xiaohu asked.

Song Yaqiao replied, "I know that you will open a new store in the second half of the year, so that we can put those extra employees in the store for training." Although it may seem a bit wasteful in normal times, when the expansion is made again in the second half of the year, these extra employees will not be able to take the opportunity to enrich the new store. ”

"That's right." Hearing Song Yaqiao say this, Lai Xiaohu also nodded in agreement, "Since this is the case, let's set the number of recruits at fifteen." ”

Determined the number of people to increase, Song Yaqiao picked up those resumes and looked through them, at this time, those interviewers who were positioned by Lai Xiaohu between excellent and mediocre had the opportunity to be re-examined, among these people, Song Yaqiao selected the fifteen best, and then called these people separately and asked them to report tomorrow.

The next day, all the 15 new employees arrived on time, and the regional managers, supervisors and store managers from Jincheng also came to Shanghai on this day.

Among them, the regional manager is Dong Tong, who used to be a store manager in Jincheng, but he won the first prize many times when he competed for the performance of the six stores, so he was valued by Lai Xiaohu and transferred to Shanghai as a regional manager. For Dong Tong Lai Xiaohu, she is also valued by the earliest group of employees of Lejia Supermarket, and she can come to this point is also the best development among that group of employees. The rest of the supervisors and store managers were ordinary employees when they were in Jincheng, and the reason why these people were transferred by Lai Xiaohu to serve as supervisors and store managers was also because they had better work performance when they were in Jincheng, and they were more serious about their work. As for the regional manager and supervisor in the capital, Gao Qian and several of his employees were directly served, these people were the main people responsible for the development of the capital market in the past, and now that the market has become bigger, they have naturally been promoted. However, the five new store managers were also promoted from Jincheng.

This promotion made a lot of staff gaps in the six branches in Jincheng, but fortunately, Lai Xiaohu made the preparations for recruiting people early, so there was no labor shortage.

After the store manager and supervisors arrived, Song Yaqiao assigned all the new employees according to the plan that had been made long ago, and the new employees in the same university did not stay in the same store in principle, and it took more than half an hour for all the employees to be assigned. In the morning, the new employees were familiar with the leaders, and then the training continued in the afternoon, and this time with the addition of the store manager, the training was more specific.

Lai Xiaohu and Song Yaqiao handed over the new clerk to Dong Tong for management, and the two of them set off to find the local media in Shanghai to conduct advertising negotiation areas.

Lai Xiaohu pursues short-term and many publicity results, the time is relatively short, and it is impossible to negotiate with too many propaganda media, so the two locked two targets, namely Hucheng TV and Hucheng Evening News. Hucheng TV is also called Hucheng Satellite TV. It is the largest local television station, and the Shanghai Evening News is one of the top three newspapers in terms of local circulation. Lai Xiaohu went to negotiate the TV station, while Song Yaqiao went to negotiate the newspaper.

In order to be able to reach cooperation as quickly as possible, Lai Xiaohu used his personal relationship again, although he did not let Li Gan come forward, but the result of Liu Yunfeng's appearance was already very effective.

Lai Xiaohu and Song Yaqiao were willing to pay a higher advertising fee, and Liu Yunfeng came forward on behalf of the mayor, and the other party had no reason to refuse. The next day, the advertisement of the Lejia supermarket can meet the locals in Shanghai.

Two days later, on the last day of March, all ten new stores in Beijing and Shanghai were ready, and all ten new store employees were in place last night, and after two consecutive days of explosive publicity. I dare not say that everyone in Shanghai knows about Lejia Supermarket, but at least half of them do. In order to promote Lai Xiaohu. The TV station has also received many complaints about the phone calls. And the reason is because the advertisements of the Roca supermarket are too frequent, and they are played more than 30 times a day, and no one can stand it.

Through telephone communication, Song Yaqiao and Zhang Ying were almost synchronized, and everyone was ready to open in the store early. There are already a lot of people queuing up in front of the new stores in the capital, as for the Shanghai side. Not one, but not much.

It's not that Lai Xiaohu's publicity is bad, it's just that people in Shanghai didn't know about Lejia Supermarket before, but now they know it through media publicity. But they haven't been here before, and they are not so crazy about the Lejia supermarket, so they can't come early in the morning, except for some residents who are relatively close to see the opening of the Lejia supermarket, they may rush over to take a look, and in general there are not many people.

"But it doesn't matter, sooner or later there will be more." For this situation, Lai Xiaohu is not worried at all, the reason why Lejia Supermarket can live is that the vegetables in it taste super good and high in nutrition, as well as good word-of-mouth publicity, as for the media publicity, it is just a role in advertising, and the role of Lejia Supermarket is not too big at all.

The reason why Lai Xiaohu advertised was to let those who are interested know the location of each branch of Lejia Supermarket through these advertisements after word of mouth spreads. This is also the reason why he didn't start advertising early, because it's useless, before the word of mouth comes out, no matter how good it is, everyone won't come, in the eyes of many people, vegetables, isn't it like that, there is no difference. And most communities have vegetable markets outside their homes, and those people will not go to the Lejia supermarket to buy vegetables because of an advertisement. The publicity for the first two days of the opening was to make people in the neighborhood notice the Roca supermarket on their doorstep, and the publicity after that was to let everyone know the location of the Roca supermarket. Of course, the future publicity will have to be put to a later date, and the top priority now is the opening of the new store.

Ten minutes before the opening, Lai Xiaohu learned by phone that there were already more than 100 people outside the five branches in the capital.

"Boss, it's all ready." After hanging up the phone with Zhang Ying, Dong Tong came up and said to Lai Xiaohu.

"Well, okay, just wait for one more person to come." Lai Xiaohu said and looked at the intersection, where there happened to be a familiar vehicle driving towards here.

"Go and get those two reporters over." After seeing the car, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly said to Dong Tong. In order to play a role in publicity, Lai Xiaohu specially spent money to invite reporters from two TV stations to report on the opening of his Lejia supermarket.

Two minutes later, the car slowly drove to the outside of Lejia Supermarket, Liu Yunfeng took the lead in opening the car door and came down, and then Li Qian also walked down from inside, this is naturally the person Lai Xiaohu is waiting for.

"Uncle Li, welcome to the opening ceremony of our Lejia supermarket." Seeing Li Gan coming down, Lai Xiaohu hurried to greet him, and the two reporters standing beside Lai Xiaohu were even more surprised when they saw Li Gan getting off the car. Originally, they had some opinions on Lai Xiaohu interfering with their interview, but after seeing Li Gan, the two suddenly rushed forward as if they had seen a beautiful woman, as a news reporter, they could forget what their wife looked like, but they just couldn't forget what the main leaders in the city looked like.

"Xiaohu, how is it, it's all ready," After getting out of the car, Li Gan took Lai Xiaohu's hand and walked inside, seeing that there was a reporter, Li Gan had an epiphany and forgot about Lai Xiaohu twice, and then naturally posed with Lai Xiaohu and let the two reporters take pictures.

"Well, all the work is ready, just waiting for you to give a speech." After Lai Xiaohu led Li Gan and the main leaders of the company to meet separately, he took Li Gan to the door. As for the people behind them, they all followed with sincere fear, Lai Xiaohu actually invited the mayor of Shanghai to attend the opening ceremony, which shocked everyone. (To be continued......)
