Deep City, Walmart headquarters.
Zhang Xiaodong sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and listened to the report of his subordinates, now he is becoming more and more like a big boss, wearing a hand-made suit and a pure Cuban cigar in his mouth. Compared to when he used to be on Sundays, it is clear that his quality of life has improved by more than a notch.
"So far, we have found suitable places in more than 150 second- and third-tier cities in the south, and we expect to be able to achieve your goal after the year, and we can open at the same time by May next year at the latest."
Zhang Xiaodong nodded with a faint smile on his face and said: "Very good, ask the logistics department to open up channels as soon as possible, logistics and distribution are the key to the key, and there must be no problems." ”
After a pause, he added, "How is the situation on the supplier's side?" ”
The assistant pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "We have sent people to contact those suppliers according to your instructions, and they are happy to cooperate with us, but they are still a little hesitant about the priority supply right, only a few manufacturers agree to sign a contract with us, and most manufacturers say that they still need to consider it." ”
Zhang Xiaodong took a deep breath and chuckled lightly and said, "Businessmen, no one will dislike making more money." Hurry up with the supplier, and sign a priority supply contract with them no matter what! This is not only related to the speed of expansion of our stores, but also to give us more time to hit our opponents hard. So, you can't succeed and don't fail! Even if it is on this basis, it is not impossible to float up by five percentage points! ”
The assistant frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Zhang, if this happens, our cost will be too high." We are now choosing second- and third-tier cities, where the traffic conditions are very poor and the logistics costs are high. If we are increasing the cost of restocking, then we will basically not make a profit and even have a great possibility of operating at a loss. ”
opened his mouth, and the assistant whispered again: "Now there are many people in the company who have complained about your development strategy, if you ......"
"Humph! What is the ambition of the bird? These people only look at the immediate interests, and want to do great things with a long-term vision! Zhang Xiaodong snorted disdainfully, how could he not know about the criticism of him within the company? If it weren't for the fact that there weren't so many people in his hands to use, he would have swept out all those guys a long time ago.
Without waiting for the assistant to speak, he continued: "It's true that the cost will increase, but it doesn't mean that we will operate at a loss! The cities we have chosen now are all cities where there are no supermarkets yet, and once our supermarkets are opened, they will be the first! In the absence of competitors, we have absolute pricing power, as long as the price of our items is slightly lower than the market price, there will be customers. ”
With a look of reminiscence in his eyes, Zhang Xiaodong said: "I want the first store to open on Sunday, when the manufacturers were still waiting, and the purchase price on Sunday was not much lower than that of those stores. They're only selling for a little less than the market price, but you'd never imagine the excitement on the opening day of the first store on Sunday! ”
"In these second- and third-tier cities, our only competitors are those small stores, even if our purchase costs increase, we still have an advantage over those small stores. It can be said that our current situation is exactly the same as that of Sunday, and what we have to do is to move what we used to do in Anping on Sunday to a smaller city! Can they succeed, but we weishenme can't? ”
"As for the increase in logistics costs, this can be completely offset by the low rent and labor costs in small cities, so it seems that we will not lose money at all, at most it is just a small profit. When we build up the market size of small cities and have a certain market share, that's when we make money! At that time, we will also have the capital to lower prices with those suppliers. ”
The assistant nodded after listening to Zhang Xiaodong's words, although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything. Zhang Xiaodong has not been in Walmart for a long time, but he has already shown absolute power.
Maybe it was suppressed on Sunday for too long, and after receiving the strong support of Mr. Michio, Zhang Xiaodong can be said to be rampant in the company, and no one's opinion is listened to.
Many people tried to persuade him, but in the end he was either kicked out of the company or assigned to other departments, so that no one in the company dared to contradict his decision, and even if some people were not used to it, they could only discuss it in private.
"Haode, I will Cui Yicui's purchasing department let them get the supplier as soon as possible." The assistant said.
"Well, go ahead."
After the assistant left, Zhang Xiaodong extinguished the cigar in his hand, got up and poured a glass of red wine in front of the wine cabinet, shook the red wine glass with a slightly weird smile on his face, and muttered: "You guys should have a headache now, right?" This is just the beginning, but don't let me down too much, if you can't even solve this little thing, hehe, it will be too boring......"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the red wine in the cup, now he feels that he is full of fighting spirit, he is very confident in his jihua, he believes that when Wal-Mart 200 stores open at the same time next year, it will cause a great sensation, the second and third line of the market is his Zhang Xiaodong, he will bury Sunday step by step with the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside!
Anping, a police station near No. 8 Middle School.
The three brothers of Longmen waited in the office for more than two hours and did not see Director Li return, which made them very depressed and a little irritable.
"Little brother, where did you Director Li go? Can you please call me? "One of them.
The little policeman looked down at the document in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Wait, the director will come over when he is done." ”
"Then why don't you let me make a call first? I still have urgent matters over there, so if you don't let people go, let me inform them, so as not to make a mistake. ”
"Huh, calling? Let's wait until your questions are clear. The little policeman glanced at the little brother and said lightly.
The three brothers glanced at each other, and they all saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.
'Click......'
With a soft sound, the office door was pushed open, and Director Li walked in humming a minor tune.
"Hey, Li Suo, you're back. You're going to pee your pants here if you don't come. The little brother of Longmen looked at Director Li and said.
Director Li looked at the three of them with a smile and didn't speak, and after talking to Wang Jiefei just now, they went to a nearby restaurant to rub their meals. It's not that he wants to cool these three people, but he needs time to touch the bottom of these three people.
He already knew about this kung fu, the kid who beat people was called Mo Shaokun, and he used to be a student of No. 8 Middle School. The police officer of the police station learned from the teacher of No. 8 Middle School that Mo Shaokun had no background, but was just a poor boy, which made Director Li feel a lot more relieved.
Mo Shaokun has no background, so it is conceivable that these three people should not have a big background. But even so, he still didn't dare to be careless, he was a very cautious person, so let Wang Jiefei deal with this matter, in case he caused any trouble, it wouldn't involve him.
waved at the little policeman, and after the other party left, Director Li sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "You three can go." ”
The three Longmen brothers were slightly stunned, and then looked at Li Suo with some puzzlement.
"What? Can't understand me? Director Li asked with a slight frown.
One of the three said, "Li Suo, you really make me a little confused." ”
"Okay, we have to deal with dozens of things like fights and brawls here every day, and that Wang Jiemin is not a good thing, and he deserves to be beaten. Letting you stand here for two hours is a lesson for you, and if you let me catch it in the future, hum, then I will have to be serious. ”
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they didn't suspect anything, Director Li was right, such things as fights and brawls are too common. These police officers are annoyed to deal with it, and usually the most they can do is to arrest people and give them a symbolic lesson, as long as the family members don't pursue it, basically no one will take it too seriously.
"Yo, that's really you. You can rest assured, our brothers will never trouble you in the future! ”
"Go ahead." Director Li waved his hand.
Looking at the backs of the three little brothers leaving in a hurry, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly to reveal a dark smile, happy, when you cry later!
