After the meeting, Li Guangyu and Gan Qin went to Tin Shui Wai together to inspect the development of the industry there.
After years of development and construction, Tin Shui Wai is no longer remote and has now become the sub-center of the Hong Kong economy. In Tin Shui Wai and even the Yuen Long area, more than half a million people have poured into it in just eight years.
.
Relying on the Lee Industrial Park, University Town, Heung Kong High-tech Park, the high-tech incubator jointly established by the Heung Kong Foundation and the Lee Foundation, it supports the production and life of nearly one million people in the Yuen Long area.
In Yuen Long, there are still dozens of real estate companies developing. After several years of development, dozens of electronics-related companies have been established in the Tin Shui Wai High-tech Park, which mainly provide services to Phoenix Group and Chunghwa Electric Group.
Parts.
Tai Lam Tunnel is currently under construction. The road connecting the tunnel between Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan has been completed. Just waiting for the tunnel to be completed, there will be no need to go around a large circle when going from the city to Tin Shui Wai, which can save more than an hour.
time.
As for the MTR from Hung Hom via Sham Shui Wai, Tsuen Wan to Tin Shui Wai, based on the current progress, it will only be put into operation by the end of 2088.
Since today is Tuesday, probably because everyone is in class and at work, there are not many people in Wheelock Plaza.
However, Li Guangyu saw a film crew filming in the square, with some citizens watching.
Li Guangyu and Gan Qin did not go close to watch, but walked towards the Hengyu Supermarket Group in Wheelock Plaza to learn about the development of supermarkets here.
Li Guangyu and his group were very conspicuous. The security guard on duty at the entrance of Hengyu Supermarket saw Li Guangyu and Gan Qin approaching and immediately said hello to them.
Li Guangyu did not block the door of the supermarket, but asked the security guard not far to the left of the door for some information.
The security guard's name is Zhou Xiangdong. He is a retired member of the Mainland's Great Disarmament. Through his former comrades, he came to Xiangjiang and joined the Li Group. He has been working at the Wheelock Plaza store of Hengyu Supermarket Group for half a year.
Before coming to Xiangjiang, he never dreamed that he could get such a salary. The current monthly salary for ordinary positions in the Li Group is 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, although it is far from the per capita GDP of nearly 50,000 Hong Kong dollars announced by Xiangjiang last year.
, but compared with the wages in mainland China, they are much better. It is impossible for ordinary jobs like theirs to reach the per capita level.
He also read relevant newspapers about the average salary in China last year. According to information released by the Xiangjiang Industrial and Commercial Daily Baodao and the Mainland Bureau of Statistics, the per capita salary in the Mainland last year was 1,150 RMB, and the average monthly salary was less than 96 RMB.
The current official exchange rate of RMB is 3.45 yuan per U.S. dollar. The average monthly salary in mainland China is only more than 200 Hong Kong dollars, and Zhou Xiangdong does not believe that he can get the average salary there by working in the mainland.
Moreover, working at Hengyu Supermarket Group, he does not need to worry about accommodation. The group provides accommodation. Although it is a dormitory for six people and the area is not very large, he is very satisfied.
On the first day of on-the-job training at Hengyu Supermarket Group, he firmly memorized the looks of several important figures in the group, including Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, Li Xuelan, Gan Qin, Chen Linwen, Fang Ruoqiang, Zhang Qifen and other senior executives.
These people are the most likely to come to the supermarket to inspect. This is what their store manager emphasizes. They do not want these people to come to inspect without them knowing the situation.
Zhou Xiangdong admired the female store manager in the store very much. She took care of her daughter alone and was able to manage the things in the store in an orderly manner.
This was the first time he had seen Li Guangyu in person since he started working. He did not work at the Wheelock Plaza store when it opened. When he was later transferred, Li Guangyu never came here to inspect again.
This time Li Guangyu talked to him in person, and he was very excited.
He said: "Li Sheng, at present, the flow of people in our Wheelock store is mainly concentrated in the evening during normal times. At that time, after students and workers get off work, it will be crowded. On weekends, the flow of people here is very heavy."
There are a large number of new immigrants gathered here in Tin Shui Wai. There are relatively few elderly people here. In addition, these people have to go to work, so the flow of people is usually much less.
Whether it is Li Guangyu's Starlight School, Heung Kong Chung Hwa Affiliated High School or several major primary schools, lunch is provided at noon. Parents of students in the Tin Shui Wai area and surrounding areas do not need to worry about lunch for their children, and they can work with peace of mind.
This results in many families going to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, vegetables, etc. after picking up their children in the afternoon.
Li Guangyu said: "In response to the flow of people in the evening and weekends, has your department adopted any plans to ensure the safety of customers?"
"Manager Liu and Minister Chen of our store have specially made a number of plans for this. We are divided into two shifts, the morning shift is from 9 am to 7 pm, and the evening shift is from 12 noon to 10 pm. There will be
One hour for meal time.
For example, if I work the morning shift, our meal time is from 1 to 2 pm, and the meal time of the evening shift is from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. This can ensure that we have enough manpower to cope with the afternoon peak period, and on weekends
All store staff will go to work except under special circumstances to ensure the normal operation of the supermarket."
Enterprises, government departments and even schools in Xiangjiang currently have one day off on weekends. In service industries such as Hengyu Supermarket Group, employees are on paid days off.
"How do you feel about this job now? Is there anything you feel dissatisfied with, or do you have any opinions on the management or development of the store?" Li Guangyu asked.
Zhou Xiangdong smiled and said: "Li Sheng, I am very satisfied now. You don't know that at the beginning of the year, I was still worried about how to live in the future. At that time, I never thought that I could get such a salary. I am now a
The monthly salary is equivalent to a year’s salary of one of our local workers.”
When Li Guangyu heard what he said, he knew that he must be from the mainland, but he was probably from the Cantonese coverage area, otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak Cantonese so smoothly.
Li Guangyu asked: "Where is your hometown and what did you do before?"
"My hometown is Renhua, Shaozhou, Guangdong Province. I retired from a certain army last year. I came to Xiangjiang through my former comrades. I was recruited by a security company and assigned to the Hengyu Supermarket Group."
Li Guangyu said: "Guangdong Province is one of the key development areas of Hengyu Supermarket Group. If you work hard, if there is an opportunity in the future and you are willing, you can work in Shaozhou. Hengyu Supermarket Group will definitely establish a business in Shaoguan.
From the supermarket.”
Li Guangyu is very ambitious. He hopes that Hengyu Supermarket Group can open Hengyu Supermarket in every prefecture-level city in mainland China, and even in major counties, so that Hengyu Supermarket Group can become the world's largest retail hegemon.
Although Zhou Xiangdong has not been in Hengyu Supermarket Group for a long time, he is very aware of the power of Hengyu Supermarket Group. In the conference room of their store, there is a world map, which marks how many Hengyu Supermarket stores there are in each country.
and convenience stores.
At present, Hengyu Supermarket Group has spread across dozens of countries and regions, with more than 500 supermarket stores and thousands of convenience stores. He has no doubt that Hengyu Supermarket Group can establish a supermarket in Shaozhou.
