Chapter 227: Chenchuan Supermarket

After Feng Xiaowen left the office, she was immediately surrounded by many employees.

"Xiaowen, what's going on? What does the new boss ask you for? ”

"Xiaowen, you won't be a leader, are you?"

"Xiaowen, what did the new boss tell you?"

"Sister Wen, how is the new boss? Will we be fired? ”

"Wenwen, tell everyone what's going on? Why is the new boss looking for you? ”

“……”

Faced with the gossip of questions, Feng Xiaowen tried her best to restrain her irritability, and explained: "The new boss has nothing to do with me, just chatted casually......"

"What did he talk to you about?"

"It's nothing, I just want to reassure us, the new boss said, what we did before, how to do it in the future......"

"You mean, the new boss won't fire us?"

"I don't know, he didn't say anything about the expulsion......"

"If you ask, it's in vain, you won't tell us about this kind of thing, you will not tell us, you will do it secretly......"

"Probably not, the new boss is very good, and he also said that he wants to raise the salary of our old employees."

"Raise wages!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

"Really, he told me personally."

"How much?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be a lot...... He said, 'Probably not much, it's just to make everyone happy,' and that's what he said. ”

"Oh, that's estimated to be one hundred or two hundred."

"That's not bad, it's been almost two years, and I haven't raised my salary, and as soon as the new boss comes, he will give us a raise, and the person is quite good."

"Hmm. Xiaowen, is the new boss the tall, handsome, and young man? ”

"It's him, but he's not in charge of the day-to-day management of the supermarket."

"And who's responsible?"

"His dad and his mom, probably...... And his girlfriend. ”

"Oh."

"Sister Wen, what you just said ...... Veteran employees? ”

"Hmm."

"Only old employees have raised their salaries? New hires are not rising? ”

"Yes, the new boss told me that he was an old employee."

"Oh, that's how it should be."

"Huh? Wouldn't I ...... then?"

"Forget it, you've only been here for more than two months, and you've just turned regular, how can you give you a salary increase, do a good job first, do a good job, the boss will give you a rise."

"That's it."

"Xiaowen, when will the salary be raised?"

"I don't know, the boss said, I have to study it first, and I guess I will have to wait for a while."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know."

"It can't be fooling."

"No, people have bought such a big supermarket, which means that people are not short of money at all...... Since he said that he wanted to raise his salary, it would definitely increase, otherwise why would he say that...... Be patient and don't worry. ”

"Yes, don't worry, the salary increase can't start from this month, and you have to wait until next month at the earliest...... There are still 20 days left in this month, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry. ”

"Yes, yes, that's right."

"Wenwen, what else did the new boss say?"

"Nothing...... Oh, by the way, he said, let's go to the supermarket tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. ”

"Eight o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Hmm."

"Is it only the morning shift? Or is everyone going to go? ”

"It's supposed to be everybody's going to go."

"Tsk, that's not a good thing."

"What's wrong, Sister Song?"

"Do you think, we are on the night shift, it stands to reason that we should go to work in the afternoon, we will go tomorrow morning, do we have to stay and work? We worked from morning to night, and it became two shifts a day. ”

"Oh, that's right."

"Then we're miserable, we went to an extra shift for nothing."

"Not necessarily, maybe after the meeting, let us go back."

"This is not good, the boss doesn't take the initiative to let us go back, and we can only stay and work."

"Why? Can't we just go? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

After a while, the old employee, known as "Sister Song", said: "Xiao Qian, I know that you are young, but in terms of doing things, you should try to be as mature as possible, especially when the new boss has just arrived, you have left a bad impression on him, and you will have good fruits to eat in the future." ”

"Oh."

Xiao Qian replied in a low voice, looking obedient, but after she answered, she secretly turned her head and pouted, revealing an unhappy face, and secretly muttered: "Cut, what's the big deal, the old lady is a big deal!" ’

"Let's go to one more shift, do you have any overtime pay?"

"I don't know...... We used to work overtime, and we didn't have overtime pay, but now that the new boss is here, I don't know what will happen...... There is a high probability that there is no such thing. ”

"Xiaowen, did the new boss say, how to arrange it after the meeting?"

"I didn't say it."

"Alas~, then let's see it then."

“……”

They hid in a corner and talked a lot, and during this time, more and more people gathered, not only employees, but even many customers...... The customer saw them together, ran over to join in the fun, and asked what was going on.

The phenomenon lasted for more than half an hour, and seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, Feng Xiaowen played her role as a "leader" and called on everyone to disband.

"Okay, okay, don't gather here, the new boss will come out in a while, and when he sees us like this, it's time to deduct his salary......"

"Hurry up, it's all gone, what should you do, why do you want to go......"

After the greeting, everyone dispersed.

Feng Xiaowen returned to the cash register, and when there were no customers checking out for a while, her thoughts began to drift slowly.

She glanced back at the office, then looked down at her right hand, looking a little lonely.

At this moment, inside the office.

On a small table, there are seven kinds of dishes, including shredded potatoes, fried chicken with chili, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, etc., all of which are home-cooked dishes.

Li Chuan: They have been busy all day, and it is now past eight o'clock in the evening before they start to eat dinner.

The dishes on the table were packed by Li Chuan at a nearby restaurant.

Originally, he planned to take his parents, as well as Chen Chen, to the restaurant to eat, but his mother disagreed, on the grounds that she was afraid that if they left, someone would steal the things in the supermarket.

Li Chuan felt that his mother was a little worried, so he tried to persuade him immediately, saying, "There are monitors in the supermarket, don't be afraid of these." ”

However, my mother's attitude was very resolute, no matter what, she refused to leave, and in the end she even said: "You go and eat, I'll stay, you can just bring me some back after eating." ”

Li Chuan also had no choice, so he went to the hotel to pack.

In fact, he can also understand his mother's thoughts, it is nothing more than that he has just won the supermarket, and he has some gains and losses in his heart...... It's like a poor man who picks up a piece of gold, takes it home and hides it, but he can't help but take a sneak peek and check it for fear of losing it again.

This state of mind is actually very normal, and it is not an incurable disease.

Many people start out like this, but after a long time, it will naturally get better.

Therefore, Li Chuan didn't say anything more because of this.

During the meal, the family discussed "raising the wages of supermarket employees".

Ma Xiaolian: "Chuan'er, you said before that you want to raise the wages of the old employees in the supermarket, do you really want to raise them?" ”

Li Chuan: "Of course it's true, I've said everything, how can I do it if it doesn't rise?" ”

Ma Xiaolian: "How much is appropriate?" ”

Li Chuan: "It doesn't take too much, just one hundred to five hundred, this is mainly to give them some sweetness, so that they can settle down and work as soon as possible, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, and there may be chaos inside." ”

Ma Xiaolian: "Oh...... So to whom exactly is it given a hundred, and to whom is it given to five hundred? ”

Li Chuan: "This has to be studied carefully, and you can't mess around...... The specific amount of salary increase should be considered in combination with their working years, work ability, work attitude and other aspects, like Ma Xiaowen, who has a long working life, a good work attitude, and usually manages things in the supermarket, can directly give 500, or even make an exception to give 800 or 1,000.

Others, to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, if there is no difference in work ability, only the number of years of work and work attitude are considered.

If you have a long working life and a good working attitude, you will give more, like this kind of old employees, we must stay; Those who have a short working life but a good working attitude can also give more, and strive to keep them in the supermarket and become old employees; Those who have worked for a long time but have a bad work attitude can just give a point, and people like them generally will not leave easily; If you have a short working life and a bad work attitude, don't give a penny, and if you find a more suitable person in the future, you will find a reason to fire them...... It's useless to keep this kind of person.

Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about the 'wage increase', now there are 20 days before the end of February, you can take advantage of this time, take a good look at it, see the specific situation of supermarket employees clearly, and then work out the corresponding 'wage increase plan', and then implement it in March. ”

Ma Xiaolian: "Oh, I see. ”

Li Chuan: "In addition, Ma Xiaowen and Wei Anqi, you take a closer look, if they do really well, they will be promoted to supervisors...... With two full-fledged supervisors, your job will be much easier.

Don't be reluctant to give up.

If you don't delegate power, you have to worry about everything, and if you are tired and half dead, it may not have a good effect; If you release the power, you can fully cultivate talents, and in the future, supermarkets will open branches or do some other transactions, and talents will be available......"

Li Chuan used his experience as a boss to teach his parents a management lesson.

The son gives lessons to his father and mother, which seems a bit nondescript, but the situation of Li Chuan's family is relatively special, Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian both know his ability, so they listen very seriously at the moment, without any negative emotions.

At the end of the lesson, their meal was finished.

After a brief cleanup, they sat on the sofa and discussed the follow-up operation of Hengyuanhui Supermarket.

Ma Xiaolian: "Chuan'er, we bought it in the supermarket, do you want to redecorate it?" ”

Li Guangwu nodded and said: "Well, you can redecorate it, Hengyuanhui Supermarket has been open for more than ten years, and the venue is a little old......

In the past two years, many of Hengyuanhui's old customers have been sucked away by Jia Tesco, and your mother is an example.

In previous years, whatever your mother wanted to buy, she was going to Hengyuanhui, but in the past two years, she didn't go to Hengyuanhui, and she made a special detour, and she also had to go to Jia Tesco. ”

Ma Xiaolian blushed when she was said, and couldn't help but raise her hand and hammer it on Li Guangwu's body.

The "Jia Tesco" in Li Guangwu's mouth is another large supermarket in Meiyang Town.

There are only two large supermarkets in Meiyang Town, Hengyuanhui and Jia Tesco, which are the only competitors of both sides.

Opened at the end of 2016, with a total area of more than 4,000 square meters, Jia Tesco Supermarket is located next to the power supply station and on the edge of the commercial district of Meiyang Town.

In terms of supermarket area and geographical location, Jia Tesco is not as good as Hengyuanhui, but because of its short opening time, relatively new interior decoration, and very good environment, the overall is a grade higher than Hengyuanhui, so it has also attracted a large number of customers.

From this point, it can be seen that the pursuit of the consumption environment of rural people is not lower than that of urban people, and may even be higher.

Therefore, my parents' proposal to "redecorate and renovate Hengyuanhui Supermarket" is very correct.

Of course, Li Chuan agrees with this, but he can't be in a hurry.

They have just bought Hengyuanhui supermarket, all aspects of the business are not familiar, at this time to carry out large-scale renovation, decoration, it is easy to cause internal chaos, especially the staff, the arrangement is unreasonable, may be gone.

In his opinion, parents should first be familiar with the business of the supermarket, adapt to the new identity, and wait for everything to stabilize before considering decoration and transformation.

He truthfully informed his concerns, and finally got the approval and approval of his parents.

Subsequently, Ma Xiaolian, the mother, asked again: "Chuan'er, should we change the name of the supermarket?" ”

"Change your name?"

Li Chuan was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "This ...... No need, the three words 'Hengyuanhui' sound okay. ”

"I think we can change it."

Li Guangwu opened his mouth and said: "'Hengyuanhui' has changed the boss, we have to let people know...... New boss, new atmosphere, this can be regarded as keeping pace with the times. ”

Li Chuan frowned slightly, and said: "But the three words 'Hengyuanhui' have formed a certain brand effect in Meiyang Town, and everyone in the town knows it, and if you change it rashly, it may cause some losses for no reason." ”

"Probably not." Chen Chen suddenly spoke.

"How not?" Li Chuan turned his head to look at Chen Chen.

"To be honest, I don't think the three words 'Hengyuanhui' have any brand effect, I just think that this place has the landmark effect of a supermarket."

"Oh?"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"I'm looking at it from my personal point of view."

Chen Chen explained: "In the past, I often bought things in Hengyuanhui, but before, I didn't know what this supermarket was called, I just knew that there was a supermarket here, and I came here if I wanted to buy anything, and I didn't care about what was written on the signboard...... To be honest, the three words 'Hengyuanhui' are only really seen and remembered by me today. ”

When Li Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

He thought about it carefully and felt that what Chen Chen said was very reasonable.

Personally, although he remembered the three words "Hengyuanhui", he usually didn't look at the signboard when he came to buy things...... He also knew that there was a big supermarket here, and if he wanted to buy something, he came directly, and his behavior was exactly the same as Chen Chen's.

Moreover, he also remembered one thing, that is, for a long time before, he had misremembered the three words "Hengyuanhui".

He often imagines "Hengyuan Hui" as "Henghui Yuan", and has corrected it many times in the middle, but he can't change it.

In this regard, he didn't know what was going on, maybe it was influenced by "Huiyuan Juice".

"Huiyuan Juice" is more famous, because he subconsciously feels that "Henghuiyuan" is more pleasant than "Hengyuan Hui".

From this point, it can be seen that "Hengyuanhui" does not have any brand effect, it is more of a landmark effect, that is, people know that there is a large supermarket here.

After figuring this out, Li Chuan no longer objected to the "Hengyuanhui Supermarket Name Change".

"Makes sense."

Li Chuan nodded and asked, "What name do you want to change?" ”

Ma Xiaolian: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Li Chuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "'Wulian Supermarket', what do you think?" ”

The word "Wulian" is composed of one word from the names of Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian, and its meaning is quite obvious.

However, when Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian heard this name, they were not very happy, but their faces became ugly.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good? ”

Li Chuan was a little inexplicable.

"Pss

Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "What name do you think, it's too ugly." ”

"What's so ugly?"

"'Wu' and 'Lotus', who will you think of first?"

"I ...... when I think of my dad and my mom"

Li Chuan was halfway through speaking, and Meng reacted.

When he saw the word "Wu Lian", of course he would think of his parents, but for others, it was not the case.

What would someone else think?

Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian!

This allusion is so famous that it is misunderstood by customers if they are not careful.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan secretly glanced at his parents and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "'Wulian' is not good, then change it again, I ...... Forget it, you still want to. ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and several people lowered their heads and thought about the name of the supermarket.

After a while, Ma Xiaolian raised her head, looked at Li Chuan, and then at Chen Chen, and said, "Otherwise...... Let's call it 'Chenchuan Supermarket'. ”
