Chapter 426, Dragon Tomb!
Hong Kong Island, Peak Villa.
"Dad, why has seafood sales been declining recently?"
On this day in April, Zhou Jimin came to visit the children, and Zhou Bingxu and the others came over with the report.
They have too many questions about the recent business problems.
After flipping through the report, Zhou Jimin quickly knew what the situation was.
After entering April, the sales of seafood in places such as Bald Eagle have declined, and everyone seems to not like to eat seafood very much.
For such a reason, Zhou Bingxu and the others were very anxious.
Making money is not the goal, they just want to figure out the situation and the underlying logic.
After Zhou Jimin looked around, he asked with a smile:
"Have you visited it yourself?"
The two reports, in fact, are not too problematic, but in fact, judging from the reports, Zhou Jimin has already guessed the general situation.
There is no problem with Costco's supermarket, and the data changes are not much different from those in February and March.
But Tesco had a big sale in March, and there was no promotion after April.
Probably this is one of the reasons, but in April, sales in Tesco supermarkets fell too badly.
Somewhat seriously beyond expectations.
So that's very wrong.
Zhou Bingxu and the two little guys were puzzled, but they didn't go to the scene for on-the-spot investigation, so how could they find the answer?
"Dad, you mean, there's something else weird in here?"
Zhou Bingchang, who was silent, suddenly raised a question.
"What do you think of yourself?" Zhou Jimin threw the question back.
The two children fell into deep thought again, and then said in unison, "Daddy, take us on a trip to the bald eagle, we want to see it for the real thing."
Hearing the words of the two brothers, Zhou Qingyue and the others also expressed their desire to go over together. net
"I'll be there when you have the weekend."
It's not the weekend, the kids still need to go to school, and it certainly can't be now.
Although Zhou Jimin didn't say that it was over now, Lime Qinghuan and the others still cheered.
"Sister, we are not going shopping, but to inspect and work, why are you so happy?"
Seeing that several sisters were excited, Zhou Bingchang suddenly complained speechlessly.
"You want to take care of it?"
Qing Huan was immediately unhappy, "Dad didn't speak, are you still in charge of our affairs?" You're tired of being alive, aren't you?"
Zhou Bingchang suddenly shrunk his neck, and his body was hidden.
Everyone burst into laughter.
A few days later, on the weekend, Zhou Jimin took the children to fly directly to the bald eagle.
The supersonic plane was very fast, and in a little more than an hour, it reached its destination.
At a Tesco supermarket in the suburbs of New York, it was at night when the traffic was at its highest.
Zhou Bingxu, who had just gotten out of the car, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene:
"Brother, this kind of traffic shouldn't be just such a bad sales, right?"
His brother frowned as well, but didn't say anything.
Because their dad brought them here, it actually shows that there must be something wrong here.
However, the number of people alone cannot simply confirm the problem of sales.
However, he already had a guess in his heart, and he believed that his brother had also guessed something, which should have a lot to do with management.
The giggling Qinghuan didn't pay attention to these at all, just cares about playing.
Qingyue took her father's arm and chattered.
On the other side was Qing Ning, but their mother didn't grab these two positions.
Xu Mei and the others were speechless, their daughter grew up, but they robbed them of men.
It's the same every time I go out, and several children take turns
robbed, so that the four of them had no choice but to watch.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Chang, do you already have an idea?"
Zhou Jimin looked at the two brothers with a smile and asked softly.
"Dad, is there a rot problem inside the Tesco supermarket?"
"Why did you think of that? What is the basis for this?"
Regarding the conjecture of the two brothers, Zhou Jimin did not reply positively at the first time, but continued to ask questions.
At this time, the family has already walked into the supermarket, and the goal is very clear, that is, the seafood sales area.
After coming to this area, Zhou Bingxu and the others carefully observed.
However, after watching for a while, Zhou Qingyue and the others left.
Because it's really a bit boring, what's so good about watching people buy seafood?
On the contrary, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu watched it with relish, as if they liked to watch others buy seafood.
In a short period of time, a large amount of seafood was sold, and many consumers especially liked to eat these seafood.
Even though Tesco supermarkets themselves focus on high-quality and inexpensive products, the price and freshness of these seafood are still very attractive.
So, from this point of view, then the corruption problem within Tesco supermarket itself is somewhat obvious.
The two brothers Zhou Bingxu have seafood sales data from each store of Tesco Supermarket in the local side of Baitou Eagle, and they are available at different time periods such as daily, weekly and monthly.
From this data, it can be monitored out of the real-time sales data of Tesco supermarket.
"Dad, aren't all the sales data of Tesco supermarkets entered into the computer in real time? Why is this happening?"
Zhou Bingchang, who was puzzled, raised his own doubts.
The problem of corruption, which was originally caused by the strong system of Tesco supermarkets, has been eliminated to a large extent.
But now it's still there.
"And what do you think is the reason?" Zhou Jimin asked funny.
"Son, you are now a business operator, and it is a very good advantage to find problems, you have already had preliminary management skills, but this is only the beginning..."
"After discovering a problem, it is necessary to find the cause of the problem, and then start from the cause, start from the overall situation, and come up with a solution after comprehensive consideration, which is a qualified management..."
Management?
Zhou Bingxu suddenly noticed that something was wrong, they are the boss, when did they become the management?
Zhou Qingyue, who came back from shopping in other snack areas, also walked over, and just heard Zhou Bingxu's question, so they heard their father say:
"Yes, you're the boss now, yes, but you're also management."
"You still want to go past management and just be the boss, right?"
All the children nodded, and the thing they envied and admired most about their father was that it was really easy to be the big shopkeeper.
When Zhou Jimin heard this, he immediately smiled.
This group of children really only looks at the surface, when will they grow up?
He didn't say anything about letting the kids experience what his day was like, because he could flip through the briefing faster than they could have imagined.
Maybe Xiao Bu and Xiao Yi can barely do it, but Zhou Bingxu and their children are somewhat worse.
After briefly telling the children about the difference between management and leadership, and some things that need to be done, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu immediately bowed their heads in shame.
Management is responsible for more specific and detailed management, while leaders are responsible for the overall strategic positioning of the company.
In more layman's terms, it is the difference between a general and a commander-in-chief.
With the current knowledge and ability of Zhou Bingxu and the two surrounding brothers, it is already very good to be a good general who can win battles, let alone want to be a commander.
Nevertheless, come to New York today
Asking Tesco Supermarket here can be regarded as an eye-opener for them.
"Dad, it's obviously something that happened here in New York, why can you immediately tell through the data that it's an internal *** problem?"
On the way back, Zhou Bingchang raised his questions.
"That's a good question, so you must have thought about it, right? What about your own answer?"
In terms of children's education, Zhou Jimin does not directly tell children what they should do and what they should not do, but guides them to think step by step.
Even if they really tried their best and didn't think of a solution, then after Zhou Jimin gave the answer, he would not make a decision for them, but let them make their own decision.
Compared with them, Zhou Jimin paid more attention and encouragement to Zhou Qingyue.
They are all more mature and smarter.
In addition, the paths chosen by Xiaoxian and Xiaoyi are relatively safe paths for scientific research, so Zhou Jimin can not give them much help in this regard.
Scientific research is more dependent on personal talent and hard work, and what Zhou Jimin can give is resources.
Just like the dream of being an astronaut that they had been thinking about before, it must take a lot of effort to accomplish it.
However, after they followed Zhou Jimin to the moon, they were suddenly confused for a few days.
After that, I still want to continue to work hard for it.
After all, if they want to engage in scientific research, they must also have a strong body to support them.
Moreover, being on the moon has made them have a greater desire to explore many problems that may be encountered in space exploration.
If you are not well prepared and cannot cope with some problems that may occur, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So, it's not that they went to the moon and can be proud to say that they are qualified astronauts.
It's not like that at all.
Time passed quickly, and after entering May, Zhou Jimin obviously paid more attention to the earthquake research institute.
Especially after mid-to-late May, he began to increase the calculation and verification of various data.
For example, atmospheric pressure, etc., as long as the data that can be monitored by satellites, all of them are used by him.
Yang Shikui, they all feel that Zhou Jimin is going crazy, what are they doing?
Liver?
Of course, it's going to be liver, because the next thing is the earthquake in Yunnan.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin must prepare as soon as possible.
On May 27, Zhou Jimin suddenly dropped all the data and called out several researchers in the scientific research institute.
When he walked out quickly, he called Wang Changwu on the phone.
The latter quickly got on the phone:
"Comrade Panda, I'm Wang Changwu, please instruct."
"Immediately mobilize two planes and send two squads of people to follow me to the Longling area to carry out the mission, 100,000 urgent!"
"Received, I'll do it right away, and the plane will take off in thirty minutes!"
Hearing Zhou Jimin's anxious tone when he called, Yang Shikui and several other geniuses and researchers were all stunned.
Could it be that something happened in the Longling area?
It's just that now is not the time to ask about this, everyone suppressed their curiosity, rushed to the airport, and then took a plane to leave Oasis New Town.
The soldiers of the two squads followed Zhou Jimin together, and the person who led the team was Wang Changwu himself.
In fact, his level is high, so there is no need to go out with him.
But the Longling area is a place, and he is afraid that if he encounters something that is not long-sighted, it will be difficult to deal with it.
However, Zhou Jimin went to the Longling area this time to confirm the earthquake situation, not to travel.
The speed of the transport plane was not very fast, it was thousands of kilometers away, and it took more than half a day to fly before it arrived.
After arriving at the place, Zhou Jimin led the team to ride a military truck and go directly to the forest area.
The more places no one goes, the more Zhou Jimin wants to go.
Soon, after arriving at the place, Zhou Jimin asked people to find an ant nest.
After everyone heard this, they were directly stunned: traveled thousands of kilometers to the Longling area, just to find an ant nest?
That's not how you want to play, right?
But seeing Zhou Jimin's serious expression, everyone swallowed their doubts.
Soon, Yang Shikui found the ant nest.
Sure enough, it's a little different, because the ant nest is very messy, I don't know what the reason is.
"Look for it again!"
After Zhou Jimin finished reading it, his face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered.
"If you find a few more ant nests, it's still like this, immediately notify the local evacuation area, this is definitely the source of the earthquake!"
Hiss!
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and the earthquake !!
Wang Changwu was the most anxious and said:
"Comrade Panda, are you sure?"
"You can see for yourself that these ant nests are already very revealing....." Zhou Jimin pointed to the ant nest and continued:
"It took me a lot of calculations to determine that this side of the Longling area is the source of the earthquake."
"You guys go look for it again, I'll call the leader."
After that, he took out his satellite phone and made a call to the leaders in the capital.
There may be a risk of earthquakes in the Longling area, and this call can be regarded as a surprise to the leaders in the capital.
The previous meteorite crisis can be said to have been discovered by satellite observation instruments, but can this earthquake really be predicted?
It's not that everyone doesn't believe Zhou Jimin, but this thing sounds very mysterious.
"When will the earthquake occur?"
Hearing the leader's question, Zhou Jimin rolled his eyes and said:
"Leader, my prediction is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the specific time cannot be determined, but it should be these two days, and it will definitely not be more than the end of the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow is the 29th, and the actual time of the earthquake is the 29th!
