In the early morning of the next day, Mo Shaokun left school early and went directly to the supermarket store in Baishan District.
He had been going to come over yesterday afternoon to take a look, but he couldn't come back last night because of Chen Hai's affairs. It seems that it has been so long, and the decoration of the new supermarket store should have been basically completed, right? No matter how you say it, you are also one of the major shareholders, and if you don't care about it, it's really a little unkind.
"Sister Liu, are you busy?" knocked on the door and walked into the office, and saw that only the financial manager Sister Liu was there, Mo Shaokun asked with a smile at her.
Sister Liu, who was leaning over to be busy, raised her head when she heard this, and said with a bright smile on her face after seeing that it was Mo Shaokun: "Shaokun is here, sit down for a while, I'll sort out these accounts first, soon." ”
Mo Shaokun naturally has no opinion, Sister Liu is a very serious person, and it is precisely because of this that after a short one-week probationary period, he and Qin Qin made a decision to make Sister Liu the financial manager of the Sunday Department Store.
Of course, so far Sister Liu is still a bare-bones commander, but she doesn't have to work so hard after several branches open one after another.
Long before deciding to open a branch, Mo Shaokun told Qin Qin that he should cultivate talents and do a good job in talent reserves, after all, if there are not enough spare talents, it will greatly affect the expansion speed of the supermarket.
At present, there are only four real high-level executives of the Sunday Department Store, namely General Manager Zhang Xiaodong, Deputy General Manager Qin Qin, Financial Manager Liu Shufen, and Mo Shaokun, a super idler who has no position.
When there is only one store, a few of them can basically be busy, but with the expansion of the store, it is obviously not enough, even if they are split in half, it is far from enough.
But Mo Shaokun doesn't need to worry about this, when he talked to Qin Qin on the phone two days ago, he had already learned that Qin Qin had already done a good job in this regard, and after the new store opened, the person in charge of each store and the head of finance, personnel, and business would also be in place one by one, although Mo Shaokun didn't know where Qin Qin found so many people, but he didn't ask anything, he still trusted Qin Qin's ability to do things.
After about ten minutes, Sister Liu finally finished the work at hand.
She let out a long breath, raised her head, and smiled apologetically at Mo Shaokun: "I'm sorry, I'm the only one here for the time being, and I have to take care of everything." ”
"Hehe, it's a good thing to be busy."
"Well, that's right, it's hard but it's very fulfilling." Sister Liu said with a smile, poured a glass of water for Mo Shaokun, sat on the sofa next to her and asked, "I heard Mr. Zhang say that you have been very busy recently, why do you have time to come to the supermarket today?" ”
Sister Liu doesn't know much about the relationship between Mo Shaokun, Qin Qin, and Zhang Xiaodong, she only knows that Qin Qin is the real boss and the young man in front of her is the boss's younger brother.
"It's not Saturday today, just come over and have a look if there's nothing to do, right, Brother Zhang?" Mo Shaokun asked.
"Mr. Zhang rarely comes here now, the decoration of the three new stores has been completed, and now the equipment has begun to enter the market, and Mr. Zhang has been busy with things over there."
Mo Shaokun nodded, almost as he expected.
"How has the performance of the Baishan store been recently?" Mo Shaokun asked again, this is what he is most concerned about.
"Not bad, now the daily turnover is basically maintained between 35 and 400,000 yuan, our gross profit margin is basically controlled at about 21 percent, and the net profit margin is almost 13 percent, and the daily net profit is about 40,000 yuan."
In the future, a supermarket store with good performance can reach this number in daily sales, or even higher. Many people think that now Mo Shaokun has seized the opportunity, the market competition is small, and the cost in all aspects is relatively low, so it stands to reason that he should make far more money than later generations.
But they ignore a serious problem, that is, the consumption level of people in this era is relatively low. Therefore, it is good to have an average daily sales of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.
However, in the later generations of supermarkets everywhere, everyone in order to seize the market have overwhelmed the lowest profits, the general sales comparison haode store gross profit margin can be about 12 to 15 percent, net profit margin is about 5 percent to 8 percent.
And now the net profit rate of the Baishan store can reach 13%! This is enough interest rate to make the supermarkets of later generations blush. Besides, it doesn't matter how much money a store can make as a first opportunity, the important thing is to seize market share!
"Sister Liu, I heard that Brother Zhang has found an office building in the city center, and you are going to go there after the branch opens?"
"Well, yes, what Mr. Zhang means is that the Baishan store is only a store of the company's supermarket, and it is not good to put the headquarters here, because it is too small and childish, and it is not convenient to communicate with other stores and suppliers."
Mo Shaokun nodded and didn't say anything more, since Zhang Xiaodong was no longer there, he didn't stay in the supermarket for too long, and after chatting with Sister Liu for a while, he got up and left.
It took a morning for Mo Shaokun to turn around the three stores that were about to open, he was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaodong's ability to do things, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and finally he finally found Zhang Xiaodong in the Longhu store.
"Shaokun, look at it, this is the supplier who took the initiative to contact us during this time." Zhang Xiaodong had a thick joy on his face, and handed a thick pile of information to Mo Shaokun.
Mo Shaokun took a cursory look at it and nodded with satisfaction.
When the first supermarket opened, it was still a new thing, and most manufacturers were waiting and watching, but with the popularity of the Baishan store, these manufacturers obviously also saw the business opportunities contained in the new business model of supermarkets.
When I heard that several more supermarkets were going to open on Sunday and had already done business in Kyoto, the manufacturers couldn't sit still and came to the door one after another to seek cooperation.
"This is a good thing, so that there is less channel fees for middlemen, and our profits can be higher. Brother Zhang, you can do this thing, remember that quality is the key! There is nothing more important in doing business than word of mouth, and if we are greedy for cheapness, we will not be able to fill up the quality of things that are not up to standard, which will not be good for our brand image. ”
"Well, I understand this, you can rest assured, I have set up a special team tentatively called the quality audit team, which is responsible for strict quality control." Zhang Xiaodong nodded.
"I knew that Brother Zhang, you would have absolutely no problem doing things." Mo Shaokun smiled and slapped a sycophant, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it first, Zhang Xiaodong's performance over the past few days is enough to explain everything, such talents naturally have to be enveloped.
"In the past, we used to pay for the goods before shipping, but in the future, we will change it, and these manufacturers want to distribute goods in our supermarket, no problem! But make it clear to them that we will not pay anything upfront, and we will settle the bill at the end of each month. Mo Shaokun said with a wicked smile on his face.
"Huh? This...... Will this work? Zhang Xiaodong was a little stunned.
"Don't worry, no problem. In the past, we came to beg them to distribute the goods, but now it is different, they have seen our consumption boom, and they are rushing to send the goods to our supermarket one by one, and they can't let them occupy any good things, right? ”
Zhang Xiaodong thought about it, it seemed that it was really such a reason, he raised his head and looked at Mo Shaokun with some admiration, this young man is much smaller than himself, but his brain can't catch up. If you can really check out at the end of the month, then the supermarket's cash flow will be sufficient and the pace of expansion can be faster!
