Chapter 14: Intent Revealed
The next day, after Zhao Hongbing returned to the garment factory to deal with the matter at hand, the next day, he went to Lanshan Town to see the new store.
That store is said to have been a brand sales store before, and in 2012, according to Zhao Hongbing's memory, this store was also a first-line brand sales store. Unlike Gehai Town, which has a larger area of 300 square meters, this store has an area of only 200 square meters.
Contact the renovation company, recruit the store manager and clerk, and prepare the ...... Zhao Hongbing has been busy for the past three or four days, and by the time he returned to the retail store in Gehai Town, it was already five days later.
In the car, when Zhao Hongbing had not returned to the store across the sea, he turned on Bluetooth and made a call to Guan Min'er.
"Hello, is it the manager of the store?"
"Hello, boss." Guan Min'er's soft voice came from the phone.
"Are you busy over there?" Zhao Hongbing asked while looking at the road conditions in front of him.
"There are no customers in the store for the time being, boss, do you have anything to do?" Guan Min'er asked again.
"How are the sales in the store in the past two days?" Zhao Hongbing asked.
"The shop is in good condition!" Mentioning this topic, Guan Min'er's voice was sweet: "The business a few days ago only fell by about 10% compared to the sales of our Women's Day promotion.
"Okay." Zhao Hongbing's face was satisfied, this drop was still acceptable in Zhao Hongbing's opinion!
"By the way, what about the Eddie franchise? How is their family doing? Zhao Hongbing asked curiously again.
Just as the Eddie franchise used the Ulris franchise as an imaginary enemy at the beginning, Zhao Hongbing also used the Eddie franchise as a measuring stick to estimate his own success.
"Boss Zhao, I really didn't expect it, our store is so competitive, and we have left them far behind. It's so relieving! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongbing's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Oh, yes, okay...... I'll go to the town of Gehai in a while and hang up the phone first. Zhao Hongbing said loudly.
The town of across the sea.
After Zhao Hongbing stopped the car, he quickly walked back to their shop.
It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not the peak of the crowds, and there are only four or five customers in the store picking up the goods.
Kwan Min'er was wearing a pair of jeans and a trench coat on her upper body, and she was talking to a customer of about her age in front of the cashier.
When the two idle clerks saw Zhao Hongbing, they immediately stood up and said hello to Zhao Hongbing.
"Hello boss."
Zhao Hongbing nodded, sat back in the seat he usually sit, and looked at the situation in the store.
"Manager, I don't dare to wear this pair of jeans...... I don't have a figure like yours, I can't wear such an effect! The customer, who was talking to Guan Min'er, giggled.
"Where, you're too polite, I'm embarrassed to praise me. I see that your legs are straight and beautiful, these jeans must be a good fit. Guan Min'er looked at the customer and said with certainty.
"The fitting room is over there, you can see how it looks when you wear it yourself!"
The customer nodded, went into the fitting room and changed into the pants, and then went to the mirror to take a look.
Based on the expression on the female customer's face, the female clerk next to her knew that the business was a success. So he praised the female customer's legs even harder, and how the pants fit.
"Am I going to look a little fat in these pants?" The female customer turned in the mirror.
"No, I don't even see how fat I look. These pants are tightened at the hem to make your legs thinner. The female clerk smiled and said.
"Hehe, yes, then help me wrap these pants......"
On the side, Zhao Hongbing couldn't help but nod after seeing the deal with that pair of pants.
It seems that the Euris store across the sea is basically on the right track, and Guan Min'er is also sitting next to Zhao Hongbing to rest at this time.
"Those newly recruited clerks are already much more skilled than they were some time ago." Guan Min'er smiled at Zhao Hongbing: "The use of some sales skills has also improved a lot. Look at the clerk just now, when he praised people, his mouth seemed to be stained with honey. ”
The corners of Zhao Hongbing's mouth twitched, and he nodded slightly. Judging from the experience of an old stall, some customers only need praise to have the intention to buy and sell.
"It's easy for a single customer to enter the store, but I'm afraid of hula and a group of people entering the store together.
It's not that there is a sudden increase in the flow of people, but because women are the easiest to sway, and I'm afraid that among the customer's friends, there is a person who says that this dress is not good-looking, and this dress basically has no way to sell. ”
Zhao Hongbing also had some understanding of this statement, and he nodded approvingly.
This shop, in fact, can be regarded as an experiment, and he didn't plan to make money in the first place. A lot of experience does not give him special care just because he is a future person.
"On the other side of our factory, we recruited a senior store manager from a brand store." Zhao Hongbing said: "I plan to let her train the newly recruited clerks of our Lanshan Town store for a few days. ”
This store in Gehai Town has only trained the clerks for two days, and looking at the current situation, it is still not good, and it has to continue.
"By the way, boss, there's one more thing." Guan Min'er said with a smile: "The manager of the store near us seems to have been replaced by Miss Xin's assistant Tong!" ”
As Zhao Hongbing's confidant, she naturally knew some of Zhao Hongbing's thoughts.
"Tong Xiang?" Zhao Hongbing's face showed a look of surprise.
As far as he knows, Xin Meiyun is the regional manager in charge of Boton's clothing in the Dazhou region. Xin Meiyun's assistant, in the direction of the administrative level, should be a little bigger than the store manager in charge of a single store, right?
Although Zhao Hongbing has not been in contact with the administrative structure of the Bolton world, Zhao Hongbing is still very aware of this. At the very least, working with a regional manager is closer to the executive center, so there is more room for growth, right?
After chatting with Guan Min'er for a few more words, Zhao Hongbing walked out of his own store and came to the Eddie franchise store.
The Eddie store is different from the Uuris store in that it has two floors, each of which is close to 200 square meters. When Zhao Hongbing entered his shop, he glanced at the storefront on the first floor.
"Boss Zhao......" A clerk standing at the door greeted Zhao Hongbing.
"Where's the manager of your store?" Zhao Hongbing asked.
"Our store manager is on the second floor."
"Thank you." After Zhao Hongbing thanked him, he went directly to the store and went to the second floor.
The second floor of the Eddie specialty store.
It was noon, and the entire second floor was deserted, except for a clerk near the stairs, only Tong Xiang was sorting out the goods on the windowsill on the second floor.
Tong Xiang is bending down slightly, rehanging the clothes that the customers have just wore, and tidying up the wrinkles on the clothes, which seems to be extraordinarily attentive.
"Store Manager Tong." Zhao Hongbing stepped forward and said hello to Tong Xiang.
After Tong Xiang hung up his clothes with a fork, he turned his head and said hello to Zhao Hongbing.
"Boss Zhao, hello."
Zhao Hongbing smiled slightly, and said loudly: "I didn't expect Assistant Tong to be transferred to your company's cross-sea store." That's how we became neighbors. ”
Tong Xiang laughed and said, "Yes, Boss Zhao, our Eddie franchise store is open near your Ulis store, and it's really stressful." ”
Zhao Hongbing laughed, this Tong Xiang is a cheerful person. "Manager Tong, competition is competition. It shouldn't affect our private feelings. ”
The corners of Tong Xiang's mouth moved slightly, and he was noncommittal to Zhao Hongbing's words.
Zhao Hongbing chatted with Tong Xiang for a few minutes before proposing to say goodbye.
Looking at the background of Zhao Hongbing walking down the stairs, Tong Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly. What is the intention of this Boss Zhao to come to him like this?
Recently, Xin Meiyun has been in a very bad mood.
In Dazhou, although she is an executive, managing nearly 20 large and small stores, she always holds her breath in her heart.
I have to keep an eye on the two newly opened stores.
Now, their two new stores in the town of Bolton, one for men's clothing and one for Eddie women, are not selling as much as they expected before the company opened.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh
