Setting up a supermarket is very simple, including store location selection, decoration, purchase and transportation, and employees.
To put it separately, choose a location, find a store, rent or buy it, then find a decoration company to design a decoration plan, start decoration after completion, recruit and train employees, and during this period, search for suppliers and negotiate.
Before starting, they held a brief meeting.
"Director, there are only two of us in the entire business department. There are too few people. We must recruit more people. This is what I think. Store location selection, decoration, purchase and transportation, and employees. These four aspects, the first two are focused on each other.
That’s fine, we have to recruit people later, we need a professional manpower, salespeople who know enough about product prices, and drivers.”
Lin Xiaoguang talked about it all.
"If we choose a location, we will go together. I will keep an eye on the decoration. I will contact the Dongguang supply and marketing system for the transportation of goods. As for the employees, we will first find them in the company and second them." Luo Yaoguo came clearly prepared.
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had to do everything by himself. This director was not doing a good job.
"Director, let's hire someone else. It's time to recruit a lesbian in our department. Two grown men just looking at each other, isn't it boring?"
Luo Yaoguo suddenly realized it, looked around and nodded: "Who do you like?"
"Cai Wenjing, how about organizing the human resources department? I think she is quite capable!" Lin Xiaoguang chuckled.
"Stop it, stop it!"
Luo Yaoguo immediately shook his head: "I'm not saying that she can't do it, Xiaoguang, you just came to Xiangjiang and you will inevitably feel lonely alone. I've been here before, and I understand, but you can't hit people randomly. Pay attention, Xiaocai has a partner, so
In Guangdong, if she can't do it, you need to find someone else."
"Director, who do you think I am?"
Lin Xiaoguang cried out: "I also have a partner, she is from the National People's Congress, and her father is the director of the Peking Public Security Bureau. Do I dare to fall in love with someone casually? I really have no idea about Comrade Cai Wenjing. Please stop making random guesses."
."
"Really?" Luo Yaoguo was dubious.
"Realer than real gold."
"Okay then, I'll go find her boss and second her here, but since you have a partner, don't just eat what's in the bowl and watch what's in the pot, otherwise you'll make mistakes. You must remember that."
"Director, don't worry."
The secondment of Cai Wenjing was finally settled, and Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he really wanted to find someone to share the work. Otherwise, if two people had to do a lot of work, they would be exhausted.
However, he had only been in the company for a few days and didn't know many people. Cai Wenjing, who worked in the organization and human resources department, was quite familiar to him and was quite capable, so he chose her directly.
Seeing Director Luo leaving, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Director Luo is resolute, straightforward, and not rigid. Maybe because he has been in Xiangjiang for a long time, he is more open-minded. He is completely different from people in China. It is really not too hard to work under such a leader.
Cool.
The next day, he went out in the morning and ran into Cai Wenjing after going downstairs.
"Morning!"
"Lin Xiaoguang, why did you push me into the fire pit?" Cai Wenjing looked unkind.
"Where do you start talking about this?" He didn't understand.
"I was doing a good job in the Organization and Human Resources Department. Your director found our director and gave me a transfer order to transfer me directly. I went to your business department, which is a newly opened department and will be closed in two days. This is not
Are you cheating on me?"
"Who said the business office is going to close? Comrade Cai, you have such an unacceptable idea!"
Lin Xiaoguang criticized, then told the story of Huarunwanjia, and finally said: "Comrade Cai, don't worry, as long as this project is completed, we will be rewarded by the superiors, whether it is promotion or bonus.
A lot of it, you have to have confidence in us and yourself."
"Okay." Cai Wenjing thought about it. It's already here, so she can only continue to do it.
After that, they began to travel frequently. It was not considered a business trip. After all, they were still within the scope of Xiangjiang. However, they spent very little time in the company, either outside or on the way outside.
So, when someone came to Huarun to look for him, there was no one in the entire business office.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Lin Xiaoguang. I'm Nie Dongfang, from CITIC." Nie Dongfang explained.
"Lin Xiaoguang, their business offices have gone outside. If you're not in a hurry, just wait. They won't come back until dark."
"Okay, got it, thank you!"
Lin Xiaoguang didn't know that someone was looking for him. In the past few days, they had been running all over Hong Kong, not to mention the remote South Island, but also the entire Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, just to find the address of the supermarket.
Taking a taxi costs a lot of money.
"Xiaoguang, if we keep running like this, when will we end?" Cai Wenjing was out of breath.
"It's almost the end." Lin Xiaoguang held the map and drew circles on it.
"It's just a supermarket, a store. Does it need to be searched in so many places?" Cai Wenjing found it difficult to understand.
"The economy in Xiangjiang has taken off. We must seize the opportunity. One store is still too few. I have temporarily selected fifty branch addresses. In the next five years, there will be these fifty branches. Huarun Wanjia's foundation in Xiangjiang.
Even if it’s done.”
"Fifty families?" Cai Wenjing took a breath: "Does this cost more than 20 million?"
"It's almost that much." Lin Xiaoguang nodded, looked at her, and smiled: "Let's go to the first branch to talk to the director."
The first branch I chose was in Kowloon, not Yau Tsim Mong or Kowloon City, but Sham Shui Po.
When they arrived, Luo Yaoguo was still negotiating with the building seller.
"Sir, the unit price of a 400-square-foot small residential building has exceeded HK$1,000 per square foot. Our office rent is HK$10 per square foot per month. It's really not too cheap. Moreover, what you want is the first floor, which is doubled.
I'm giving you an advantage." The sales lady refused to give in. For such a big deal, we negotiated how much bonus she would get.
"We will rent it at 5 yuan per square foot. You must know that what we rent is not 200 square feet, but 20,000 square feet. It will cost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in a month." Luo Yaoguo bargained.
"I wonder how much your basement rent is?" Lin Xiaoguang came over and asked suddenly.
"basement?"
The lady was stunned: "I don't know about this, no one has ever wanted to rent a basement."
"Then why don't you ask your supervisor? I want to know more about it."
As soon as they left, Luo Yaoguo looked at him, a little puzzled: "Xiaoguang, why are we renting a basement? How can there be a supermarket underground?"
"Director, it didn't happen before, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. If you can save rent, why not use it?"
"this?"
"Director, just listen to me. When the time comes, we will build two escalators with one up and one down. It will be much more convenient than walking. As long as the supermarket service is in place, customers will never dislike being in the basement."
"..." Luo Yaoguo said nothing, thinking about this problem.
"Director, I have another question. If we don't have enough start-up capital, can we cooperate with others, such as state-owned enterprises also in Hong Kong, China Merchants and CITIC, and other patriotic Hong Kong businessmen? I know one of them, just follow the flow.
I can afford half a million Hong Kong dollars..."
Lin Xiaoguang finally showed his fox tail: "As long as Hua Yun holds the controlling stake and state-owned assets occupy the majority, why not do it?"
"This?" Luo Yaoguo had a headache: "Let me go back and think about it, and then ask the general manager for instructions."
