Chapter 233: Eve of opening

Now that Li Dong has made up his mind, Sun Tao will not stop.
Although Sun Tao lacked a certain degree of determination, his work was resolute.
Seeing the trend is inevitable, immediately: "Then the top priority now is personnel recruitment and supply channels. Will there be a meeting later?"
Li Dong nodded and said: "Let the person in charge of the Commodity Department and the Personnel Department come over."
After that, he added: "Let Shen Qian also come together and see you in the meeting room in half an hour."
Sun Tao nodded and hurried out of the office.
...
An hour later, Li Dong arranged the task.
The directors of the personnel department and the merchandise department both grumbled. This time, the task is not so difficult.
Ten stores are to be opened, eight are ready to open, and the remaining 16 are also seeking to open by the end of the year.
More than 30 stores want to support this scene, recruiting at least 2,000 employees. The first batch of ten stores opened this time, according to the plan to recruit 700 people, plus the need to prepare for the next opening, at least one thousand people must be recruited at one time.
Now that we are near the end of the year, it is not easy to recruit so many people at once.
Fortunately, Pingchuan is the provincial capital. This recruitment is not about recruiting professional talents. There are more job fairs and more advertisements. Although the task is a bit difficult, it can still be done with one effort.
The director of personnel is distressed that this month it seems to work overtime, I am afraid that even the rest days will be deprived.
Compared with the personnel side, the person in charge of the commodity department is called bitter.
Recruitment only needs to run in the city. This time we have to develop new channels. Those suppliers are all from the south to the north. In addition, there are not many elderly people on the merchandise side. He may have to travel on his own to run channels.
What they think Li Dong didn't care about, as long as he could complete the task.
They usually raise these people with high salaries. If they can't even manage this, then what use will they have.
After dismissing the heads of the two departments, Li Dong said to Shen Qian: "You have nothing to do recently?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said: "What do you mean? I don't think I'm working? The public relations department has nothing to do, and I want to do it. Would you like me to be promoted?"
Li Dong coughed and quickly said: "Since you are fine, then give you a task."
"What task?" Shen Qian said with some vigilance.
"It's not a big deal. I want to borrow more money. You are familiar with the bank. You should make them faster as soon as possible when you lend money."
Hearing Li Dong's words, Shen Qian was slightly relieved.
Loan is really not a big deal, but Shen Qian still said: "The white wolf with empty gloves can't work, I don't have that big face."
"Relax, I'll mortgage the land in Washington. The price of land has risen again recently. The land in Washington is now valued at least 150 million. Is this okay?"
"no problem!"
Shen Qian immediately gave the affirmative answer, there is collateral, the bank would not like to give you a loan.
"How much are you going to loan?"
"Forty million bases, just one hundred million is enough. If you can do more, you are running out of money."
Li Dong rubbed his forehead, and now the ground was empty, and it was really impossible without some money.
Immediately the distant place may have to face a war. Those supermarkets have more solid foundations than the distant place. They really have to drag on with the distant place, and the distant place may not be delayed.
In addition, the distribution center has to prepare a sum of money.
Although it may not be possible to negotiate well in the near future, it is still necessary to prepare in advance.
If nothing else, the money for the land has to be prepared by itself, and the rest can be dragged until Baidu ’s stock can be sold next year, then Li Dong will not panic.
Li Dong will leave the task to everyone.
Speaking of opening, Yuanyuan now has experience.
The reason this time is difficult is because the time is too tight, but everyone in the early stage is not unprepared.
Although it is a little difficult now, it is not impossible to complete.
...
In November 2005, the name of the distant place appeared again in the eyes of Pingchuan people.
The recruitment sections of the major newspapers are far-reaching recruitment advertisements, and the streets and alleys are full of promotional advertisements for the opening of new stores.
Almost all talent markets have permanent employees in the distance.
The city TV station has also been advertising to distant places for half a month, and the distant supermarkets have numb their ears.
Speaking of publicity, Li Dong was willing to spend his capital.
Originally, several other supermarkets were also planning to make trouble when the new store in the distance was not opened, for example, let the industrial and commercial fire department go to add some plugs.
But Li Dong personally came forward to talk with several leaders in the city for a while, and soon these small actions ceased.
Speaking of which, the distance is now the big Hirakawa household.
In Pingchuan alone, there are forty stores in the distance, and the headquarters in the distance will soon be settled in Pingchuan. The distribution center is also likely to be settled in Pingchuan. The Pingchuan government is not stupid, and it is natural to protect the large taxpayer in the distance.
Without government intervention, several supermarkets knew that they could not stop the opening of new stores in the distance.
Since it can't be stopped, it depends on the true ability.
In the following time, the major supermarkets were quiet, but Li Dong knew that this was the tranquility before the storm.
You don't need to guess to know that these people are holding on to the bad, and when they start business, these people will have movements.
After all, if you don't beat the distant place, Pingchuan will not have their living space. Business is to make money. The distant place is now robbing their bowl of rice. Who is willing to be willing.
Time passed day by day, Li Dong also stretched a string.
Now at this stage can not relax, who knows what moth will come out of the other party.
Even in order to prevent several supermarkets from getting black, Li Donglian even sent out the security department who had not completed the training.
There are more than three security guards in each of the several stores that are about to open now.
Li Dong's main fear is that those people will spoil the situation. If the store space is destroyed the day before the opening, the trouble will be even greater.
The opening hours are now publicized. If you ca n’t get started, it will not only be humiliating in the distance, but will also create an untrustworthy impression. This is something Li Dong cannot tolerate.
Of course, these supermarkets are well-known companies and may not do this kind of thing.
It is unpredictable, and there are some small and medium-sized supermarkets in Pingchuan. Who knows if anyone will take advantage of the fire.
Don't really say, Li Dong's worry is not unreasonable.
Less than two days later, Li Dong received a call from Zhou Haidong in the middle of the night, and security guards caught several people who wanted to cause damage.
There were a total of four people who came to make trouble. Most of the night, they touched the door of a new store with an axe and other tools. Several security personnel did not pay attention for a moment. The security door was knocked open, and the glass door was not smashed.
Fortunately, several security personnel subdued them before waiting for them to do anything else.
Sending people to the police station, the other Li Dong did not care.
The smashed glass door was quickly replaced with a new one, and Li Dong became more vigilant. These people really dared to play black.
Just in case, Li Dong sent all the personnel from the security department one after another.
Perhaps it was the first time that he missed and was arrested to make the secret person give up, and then the destruction did not happen again.
The opening time of ten stores in the distance is getting closer and closer.
At this time, Li Dong was not nervous anymore. When things were about to come, all preparations had to be done. Next, everyone looked at strength.
...
November 30, the last day before opening.
Although the weather had cooled down, Sun Tao was still sweating when he entered the office.
In order to prepare well, he visited all ten stores in the morning, and then rushed back to the company non-stop, tired and choking.
Li Dong poured a glass of water for him and asked, "How is it?"
Sun Tao took a sip of water and took another long breath before laughing: "I haven't worked this way for a long time. I remember when Dongping's first store opened, I was in that mood. Later, Fucheng and Tongshan opened, and I I ’m used to it, and I do n’t feel any tension. Now I feel it again. "
Li Dong also feels similar to Sun Tao.
When the Dongping store opened, he couldn't sleep at night.
Even on the first day of opening, in order to wait for the business result, he did not close his eyes until twelve o'clock, and after knowing the result, he was excited and did not fall asleep overnight.
But when the store opened later, even if Fucheng set a record, Li Dong was not so excited and looking forward to it.
Sun Tao also talked about his feelings casually, and then said: "The preparations are all done, there is not much wrong. I have some minor problems. I let them correct them, and the problem is not big."
Li Dong let out a sigh of relief, and said, "The next thing is to see the results. If we can encircle those few houses, then we can do it according to the gourd painting scoop, and then Jiangbei will be our family."
Sun Tao smiled, this idea can only be said to be expectation.
I really want to dominate Jiangbei, but there is no such strength in the distance now. After all, those supermarkets with deep heritage are still there.
It ’s not as exclusive as Carrefour ’s exclusive stores. Those in Jiangbei are much thicker, and there are fewer stores than in the distance.
If you want to defeat them, you have to work hard in the distance.
The two talked and Liu Qi hurriedly entered the office.
Seeing Li Dong and Sun Tao, Liu Qi immediately said: "General Li, General Manager Sun, there is news."
"what news?"
"Tomorrow several other supermarkets are going to do activities, and now they have begun to promote, the discount is not small."
"Just this? What else?"
Li Dong asked afterwards that the activity was affirmative, and he had guessed it for a long time, which is not surprising.
When I was in Qingyang, other supermarkets did it.
But those supermarkets have been holding a discount now ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It seems to feel a little thunder and little rain.
But listen to Liu Qi hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, this time they discounted a lot, our new store opened only 5% off, they directly 10% off!"
Li Dong's face changed suddenly. He knew that he might face a price war, but he didn't expect it to come so fast.
The retail industry, especially supermarkets and stores, generally have low profits.
As far as the distance now, the general profit is maintained at about 20%, of course, this is gross profit.
After deducting taxes and other expenses, it can barely maintain a net profit of about 10%.
5% off can still make money, but if 10% off, this is almost the cost price.
Li Dong heard quickly and said: "Is it a discount at the audience, or a part?"
"Full audience!"
Both Li Dong and Sun Tao's faces changed, and the audience was 10% off. This is to fight hard with yourself! (To be continued.) Activate new URL
