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 recent business problems.
After looking through the report, Zhou Jimin quickly knew what was going on.
After entering April, seafood sales in Bald Eagle and other places have declined, and it seems that people don’t like eating seafood anymore.
For this reason, Zhou Bingxu and the others looked very anxious.
Making money is not the purpose, they just want to understand the situation and the underlying logic.
After Zhou Jimin looked around, he smiled and asked:
"Have you ever visited it in person?"
There are actually no big problems with the two reports, but in fact, judging from the reports, Zhou Jimin has already guessed the general situation.
There is no problem with Costco supermarket, and the data changes are not much different from those in February and March.
However, Tesco held a big promotion in March and did not hold any promotions after April.
Maybe this is one of the reasons, but in April, Tesco supermarket sales fell too seriously.
It has seriously exceeded expectations.
So this is very wrong.
Zhou Bingxu and the two little guys were puzzled, but they did not go to the scene to conduct on-site investigation, so how could they possibly find the answer?
"Dad, you mean, there are other weird things here?"
Zhou Bingchang, who was silent, suddenly raised a question.
"What do you think?" Zhou Jimin threw the question back.
The two children fell into deep thought again, and then said in unison, "Dad, take us to see the bald eagle. We want to see it in person."
After hearing what the two brothers said, Zhou Qingyue and others also expressed that they wanted to go there together.
"Let's go there during your weekend."
It's not the weekend now, the children still need to go to school, and they definitely can't go there now.
Although Zhou Jimin didn't say it was over now, Qing Ning Qing Huan and the others still cheered.
"Sister, we are not going shopping, but we are going to inspect and work. Why are you so happy?"
Seeing how excited his sisters were, Zhou Bingchang complained speechlessly.
"I want you to take care of it?"
Qing Huan immediately became unhappy, "Dad didn't even say anything, and you are still meddling in our affairs? Are you tired of living?"
Zhou Bingchang immediately shrank his neck and hid his body.
Everyone burst out laughing.
A few days later, on the weekend, Zhou Jimin took the children and flew directly to the Bald Eagle.
The supersonic plane is very fast, and it takes more than an hour to reach its destination.
A Tesco supermarket in the suburbs of New York happens to be at night, when the flow of people is the largest.
Zhou Bingxu, who had just gotten out of the car, frowned when he saw this scene:
"Brother, this kind of traffic shouldn't just be such poor sales, right?"
His younger brother was also frowning, but didn't say anything.
Because their father brought them here, it actually shows that there must be something wrong here.
However, sales volume cannot simply be confirmed based on foot traffic alone.
However, he has already made some guesses in his heart. He believes that his brother has also guessed something, and it should have a lot to do with management.
Qing Huan and the others were laughing and joking, but they didn't pay any attention to this, they were just enjoying themselves.
Qingyue held her father's arm and chirped.
On the other side is Qing Ning, but their mother did not grab these two positions.
Xu Mei and the others were speechless. When their daughter grew up, she started to compete with them for men.
It was the same every time they went out, with several children taking turns to grab it, leaving the four of them with no choice but to watch helplessly.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Chang, do you already have an idea?"
Zhou Jimin smiled and looked at the two brothers who were thoughtful, and asked softly.
"Dad, is there a rot problem inside Tesco supermarket?"
"Why do you think of this? What's the basis for it?"
Zhou Jimin did not respond directly to the two brothers' conjectures immediately, but continued to ask questions.
The family has already entered the supermarket, and their goal is very clear, which is the seafood sales area.
After arriving at this area, Zhou Bingxu and the others observed it carefully.
However, after watching for a while, Zhou Qingyue and the others left.
Because it’s really boring. What’s interesting about watching people buying seafood?
On the contrary, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu watched it with gusto, as if they liked watching others buy seafood.
In a short period of time, a large amount of seafood was sold, and many consumers particularly like to eat these seafood.
Even though Tesco supermarket itself focuses on high-quality and low-priced products, the price and freshness of these seafood are still very attractive.
Therefore, from this point of view, the corruption problem within Tesco Supermarket itself becomes somewhat obvious.
The two brothers Zhou Bingxu have the seafood sales data of every Tesco supermarket store in Bald Eagle, and they have it in different time periods such as daily, weekly and monthly.
From this data, we can monitor the real-time sales data of Tesco Supermarket.
"Dad, aren't 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.
Regarding the corruption problem, Tesco Supermarket's strong system has largely prevented this situation from happening.
But, it still appears now.
"Then what do you think the reason is?" Zhou Jimin asked funnyly.
"Son, you are now business operators. Finding problems is a very good advantage. You have initially developed management skills, but this is just the beginning..."
"After discovering a problem, you must also find the cause of the problem, and then start from the cause, consider the overall situation, and come up with a solution after comprehensive consideration. This is a qualified management..."
Management?
Zhou Bingxu immediately realized something was wrong. They were the bosses. When did they become the management?
Zhou Qingyue and the others, who had returned from shopping in other snack areas, also came over. They happened to hear Zhou Bingxu’s question and heard their father say:
"Yes, you are the boss now, but you are also the management."
"You still want to bypass the management and become the boss directly, right?"
All the children nodded. What they envied and admired most about their father was that it was so easy to be the boss.
When Zhou Jimin heard this, he immediately laughed.
These children really only see the surface. When will they grow up?
He didn't say let the children experience how he spends his day. After all, he can flip through the briefings faster than they imagined.
Maybe the little ones, Xiaoyi and the others can barely do it, but children like Zhou Bingxu and the others are somewhat behind.
After briefly talking to the children about the differences between management and leadership status, as well as some things that need to be done, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu immediately lowered their heads in shame.
The management is responsible for more specific and detailed management work, while the leader is responsible for the general direction and strategic positioning of the enterprise.
In more popular terms, it is the difference between a general and a commander-in-chief.
With the current knowledge and abilities of Zhou Bingxu and the two surrounding brothers, it is already very good to be a general who can win battles, let alone want to be a commander-in-chief.
Despite this, coming to the Tesco supermarket in New York today was 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 corruption problem?"
On the way back, Zhou Bingchang raised his question.
"That's a good question, so you must have thought about it, right? What's your answer?"
When it comes to educating children, Zhou Jimin does not directly tell them what they should do or what they should not do, but guides them to think in a step-by-step manner.
Even if they really try their best, they still can't think of a solution, then after Zhou Jimin gives the answer, he will not make the decision for them, but let them make the decision themselves.
Compared to the little ones, Zhou Jimin paid more attention and encouragement to Zhou Qingyue and the others.
The younger ones are more mature and smarter.
In addition, the paths chosen by Xiaoxian, Xiaoyi and the other children are relatively safe scientific research paths. Therefore, Zhou Jimin can not give them much help in this regard.
Scientific research relies more on personal talent and hard work, and what Zhou Jimin can provide is resources.
Just like the dream of astronauts that they had always cherished before, it would definitely take a lot of effort to achieve.
However, after they followed Zhou Jimin to the moon, they suddenly felt confused for a few days.
I still want to continue working hard for it.
After all, if they want to engage in scientific research, they must have strong physical support.
Moreover, being on the moon gives them a greater desire to explore many problems they may encounter in space exploration.
If you are not fully prepared and cannot deal with problems that may occur, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, it does not mean that just because they have gone to the moon, they can proudly say that they are qualified astronauts.
That's not the case at all.
Time passed quickly, and after entering May, Zhou Jimin obviously paid more attention to the Institute of Earthquake Research.
Especially after mid-to-late May, he began to increase the calculation and verification of various aspects of data.
For example, atmospheric pressure, etc., as long as it is data that can be monitored by satellites, he has used it.
Yang Shikui and the others all felt that Zhou Jimin was going crazy. What was going on?
Liver?
Of course I'm going to get sick, because there will be an earthquake in Yunnan soon.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin must make preparations as soon as possible.
On May 27th, Zhou Jimin suddenly dropped all the data and called on several researchers from the scientific research institute.
While walking out quickly, I called Wang Changwu.
The latter quickly answered the phone:
"Comrade Panda, I am Wang Changwu, please give me instructions."
"Immediately mobilize two planes and send two squads of people to follow me to the Longling area to perform the mission. It is extremely urgent!"
"Received, I will execute it immediately, the plane will take off in thirty minutes!"
Hearing Zhou Jimin's anxious tone on the phone, Yang Shikui and several other geniuses and researchers were all stunned.
Could it be that something happened over there in the Longling area?
It's just that now is not the time to ask these questions. Everyone suppressed their curiosity, rushed to the airport, and then took a plane to leave Oasis New City.
Two squads of soldiers followed Zhou Jimin, and the leader was surprisingly 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 local place, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with something that has no eyesight.
However, Zhou Jimin went to the Longling area this time to confirm the earthquake situation, not for tourism.
The speed of the transport plane is not very fast. It took most of a day to fly several thousand kilometers before arriving.
After arriving at the place, Zhou Jimin led the team in a military truck and headed directly to the forest area.
The more no one goes to a place, the more Zhou Jimin wants to go.
Soon, after arriving at the place, Zhou Jimin asked someone to find an ant nest.
After everyone heard this, they were stunned: Traveling 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, there is something different, because the ant nest is very messy, and I don’t know what the reason is.
"Look again!"
After Zhou Jimin read it, his expression changed drastically and he immediately ordered.
"If you find a few more ant nests and it still looks like this, notify the local area to evacuate immediately. This is definitely the source of the earthquake!"
Hiss!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, earthquake!!!
Wang Changwu was the most anxious and said:
"Comrade Panda, are you sure?"
"You can see it yourself. These ant nests speak for themselves..." Zhou Jimin pointed at the ant nests and continued:
"After extensive calculations, I determined that the Longling area was the source of the earthquake."
"You guys go look for it again, I'll give the leader a call."
After that, he took out his satellite phone and called the leaders in Beijing.
There is a risk of earthquakes in the Longling area. This call surprised the leaders in the capital.
It can be said that the previous meteorite crisis was discovered by satellite observation instruments, but can the current earthquake really be predicted?
It’s not that everyone doesn’t believe Zhou Jimin, but this matter sounds very mysterious.
"When will the earthquake happen?"
After hearing the leader's question, Zhou Jimin rolled his eyes and said:
"Leader, I predict it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The specific time cannot be determined, but it should be within these two days, and it will definitely not be before the end of the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow is the 29th, and the actual time of the earthquake is the 29th!
