Chapter XXVIII. Commercial Competition

Just when the courtiers of the full hall were confused, Lin Feng rented six carriages and took a group of people from the palace to the edge of the river to visit the warship he brought back. As for a group of elite brothers who left home, Lin Feng arranged for Chen Desheng to take them to Qinhuai River, supermarkets, Confucius Temple and other places to have a good look.

"What a big ship!" Yaya and Feifei had the opportunity to go up to the real warship for the first time, and it felt very strange to see everything, running up and down the boat frantically, and the childlike Lin Feng also made a scary grimace, chasing after the two little guys, and the little ones were scared to shout and laugh and hide everywhere.

After the visit, Lin Feng took his family into the cabin and told the most thrilling deeds such as the special raid in the westward journey, the siege of Tanzhou, the battle of Guizhou, and the worship of the three people, which made Xiao Fei'er, Duan Feihong and other beauties exclaim, and when they heard the tension, they covered their mouths with their little hands, and they didn't even dare to breathe out.

Subsequently, Lin Feng Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said the special costumes of the Yi tribe and the strange scenery of Lingnan, which made the people present yearn for it.

At this time, Zhao Kai quietly walked in and nodded slightly to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng understood, stood up, and loudly beckoned everyone to go back to the city to go to the supermarket for big purchases, everyone cheered and got up one after another.

Together with their own two carriages, the eight carriages were divided into two equal groups, one group went home directly, and the other group squeezed all the female relatives to form a long line, and went straight to the supermarket.

Along the way, Lin Feng has observed that two supermarkets-like markets, one large and one small, have been built on both sides of the avenue, and there is also a constant flow of people, and the smaller one of them has even moved some New Year's goods outside for sale.

The super copycat wind has begun! Lin Feng sighed secretly, a little eager to see how his supermarket was doing now.

When he arrived at the scene, Lin Feng first breathed a sigh of relief, there were still many cars and horses outside the market, and there was an endless flow of people, and five outreach positions were placed in the free space outside the market, respectively to display and sell food, use, play and other types of New Year's goods, and you could see the red paper advertisement of "Yuan Zhengda Sale" from a distance.

Yaya and Feifei, the two little guys with sharp eyes, jumped out of the car and ran to an outreach booth, grabbed Nie Xiaoying, and pointed to Lin Feng at her.

Nie Xiaoying immediately waved her hand in surprise and ran towards a stall behind. After a while, the store manager Fang Hongli and the deputy store manager Zhang Yuewen ran over quickly, looked at Lin Feng excitedly, and came to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Feng took out two red envelopes from his arms, handed them to the two, patted Zhang Yuewen, whose eyes were red, a few times, hugged him fiercely, and loudly congratulated the two of them on the New Year.

"Lord Lin, you're finally back! There's a lot to decide! Fang Hongli said excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go into the office." Lin Feng motioned for his family to scatter and go shopping, and walked towards the office area with Manulife above.

Soon, the chubby Duan Yu also rushed when he heard the news, and after a brief cold noise, several people sat down in a circle in the office, and Lin Feng asked Fang Hongli to tell them about the current situation.

Fang Hongli's face suddenly flashed with a trace of sadness, and he said: "Lord Lin, you have been gone for several months, and our other two supermarkets have been built, so it stands to reason that the development situation should be very good." However, in just a few months, there are five large markets in Jinling City, and there are seven or eight other smaller markets, most of which are very similar to our set-up.

In order to develop their market, these people have resorted to all kinds of subordinate means, some of them spread rumors that our goods are problematic, some directly poach our big customers, some compete with us at ultra-low prices, and some poach people from us with high salaries......"

"Digging people? How many of us walked here? Lin Feng interjected and asked.

"Of the nine who left, six of them were good at our previous business, and three of them were at least assistant store managers in other markets." Fang Hongli sighed again.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, if you want to go, you can leave, you don't have to worry about such a person. Do we have any new recruits? Lin Feng said coldly.

"When the three supermarkets opened at the same time, we were very short of manpower, so we recruited once, but the number of people who signed up was not as enthusiastic as the first time, and the recruitment of people was not particularly ideal." Fang Hongli said.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Feng asked.

"Well, Chen Fugui and Chen have been here a few times in the Chengbei Coal Yard, and when you will come back, they said that there are very similar Liuchun furnaces and briquette machines on the market, which make his things difficult to sell!" Zhang Yuewen said.

"I'll put this aside for now. Is there anything else? Lin Feng said with a cold face.

"For some time now, several shareholders have basically stopped coming, and there are rumors that they have secretly contributed capital to support other markets." Fang Hongli said hatefully.

Lin Feng pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Then do you know how the newly opened markets work?" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yuewen said angrily: "They don't treat the clerks as well as us, the basic salary is only fifty yuan, and some stores have a deep background, and there are even rumors of forced sales in the market." ”

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and the other party Manulife and Zhang Yuewen instructed: "You work hard today, count the income and expenditure of the past year, figure out the dividends of each shareholder, and prepare the money; Then inform all the clerks and all shareholders to come to the third floor of the market for a meeting this evening. ”

Fang Hongli and Zhang Yuewen nodded and immediately got busy.

Lin Feng looked at Duan Yu, who had been talking and stopped, approached him, and taught him a few tricks of food patterns and marketing methods in the future.

Lin Feng cleaned up his mood, turned around and went out to walk with his family. This afternoon, Lin Feng and his family set off firecrackers, played with firecrackers, and threw copper coins, and they were completely relaxed for an afternoon.

After dinner, Lin Feng rushed to the supermarket on foot alone.

Lin Feng inspected the first and second floors of the supermarket and came to the third floor on time.

As soon as they saw Lin Feng appear at the staircase, all the shareholders and clerks hugged over and greeted Lin Feng, who had not been seen for a long time, in unison.

Lin Feng was noisy with them one by one, the men shook hands in unison, and the women gently raised their hands to signal, and in the crowd, Liao Xiang'er, who was tall, flashed out, looking at Lin Feng with a melancholy face.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and asked casually, "Liao Xiang'er, why did you get thinner?" Raising her feet and continuing forward, Liao Xiang'er was left looking at Lin Feng's back with resentment.

Lin Feng walked to the high platform in the middle in a few steps, and said loudly: "Dear shareholders, dear clerks, because of going out on business, Lin has not been in Jinling City in recent months, and everyone has worked hard every day!" Thank you! ”

"It's not hard!" "Xie Lu Xie Lin!" There was a flood of responses and applause from the audience.

"Yesterday, I saw that other markets were built, but we are still the most visited and lively, which means that our supermarket is still the best, which means that you are still the best! Thank you.

Half a year has passed, and it's time to fulfill what I promised you before! From today onwards, all shop assistants who did not take enough rest days last year can make up for it at three times their daily wages; Those who have not rested during the Spring Festival holiday in the past few days will also be settled according to three times the daily wage. In addition, those who perform well will be commended according to regulations! ”

The applause below was earth-shattering.

Lin Feng said loudly: "From today onwards, those who have been in the store for half a year can apply for a position at the next level, everything depends on your performance and ability, I hope to see more store staff grow up quickly and can take on more important positions!"

Finally, on behalf of King Zheng and all shareholders, I wish you all a happy New Year, all the best, and a happy family! Now, the clerks can go home and rest, thank you, see you again! ”

While applauding enthusiastically, the clerk reluctantly left the third floor.

When the personnel dispersed, there was only one shareholder left. Lin Feng led everyone to the second floor, where delicate cold dishes and pastries had already been placed on the two docked long tables, waiting for them to sit down.
