The news about Jiang Songtao's visit was reported for nearly three minutes on the Guocheng News on Guocheng TV that night, which made the Jianan Vegetable Planting Base and Jianan Vegetable Development Company even more famous in the city.
After that, many teams came here to inspect, and they also brought him many new customers, especially several large corporate units in the city. Each unit has thousands of employees, and the amount of vegetables purchased in the canteen is relatively large every day.
Signing these long-term supply contracts has given Jianan Supermarket, which has not yet officially opened for business, a lot of confidence.
On the morning of December 28, Li Yuhang handed over the vegetable greenhouse cultivation to his grandfather, and hurried to the city with Li Yuxin.
A lot of goods will arrive at the supermarket this afternoon, and Li Yuhang will arrange for employees to start putting these products on the shelves to prepare for the opening on New Year's Day.
Since the factory building is not large, the converted supermarket is also relatively small. For the time being, only three cashiers and six tally attendants are hired. The accountant is Li Yuxin, the store manager is naturally Li Yuhang, and the purchaser is specially recruited.
A laid-off employee from the purchasing department of a department store affiliated to a supply and marketing cooperative.
This person is quite capable, his name is Zhang Guangming, he is 45 years old, and his son is 21 years old. In order to give him a formal job, he left early.
In the next few days, Li Yuhang and Li Yuxin also worked with everyone to put the products on the shelves. Although the area was small, the aisles between the shelves were relatively spacious. Li Yuhang would rather put less goods on the shelf, but also provide customers with a
Relatively good shopping environment.
Because this place is relatively small, Li Yuhang did not engage in the fresh agricultural products project. Now he mainly deals in tobacco, alcohol, food, beverages, and daily necessities.
The profits of the retail industry in this era are quite good. Due to some reasons, the gross profit margin of supermarkets can reach about 40%, which is much higher than the profitability of supermarkets in later generations.
For example, Yonghui's gross profit margin will be just over 20% twenty years later, which is only half of what it was in this era.
In order to get off to a good start on New Year's Day, Li Yuhang specially printed 10,000 leaflets and distributed them not only in Jianan District, but also in Shunbei District.
The employees in the store did not have time to distribute leaflets, so Li Yuhang specially invited several students from the Normal College to do this for 10 yuan each, and they would only distribute them on the 31st.
On the afternoon of the 31st, Li Yuhang specially gathered the store employees together to make final arrangements for the opening tomorrow.
"Our Jianan Supermarket will officially open tomorrow. This is also our first step into the retail market. My goals are very ambitious, and this is just the beginning.
Within one year, our Jianan supermarkets will be all over the counties and cities in northern Sichuan. Within three years, most counties and districts in Sichuan and Shu province will have our supermarkets. Within five years, we will occupy the southwest retail supermarket market.
So I hope everyone can put their best mental state into work. When the supermarket expands in the future, management will give priority to internal selection."
Except for the 45-year-old buyer Zhang Guangming, the three cashiers and six tally clerks present were all in their late teens and early twenties. When they were enthusiastic, they all listened to Li Yuhang's ambitious goals and said they must work hard.
Work and contribute to the development and growth of the supermarket.
These young people, including Li Yuxin, admire Li Yuhang. They do not feel that the goal Li Yuhang just proposed is too arrogant. They believe that Jianan Supermarket will be able to achieve this goal under Li Yuhang's helm.
Only Zhang Guangming has seen too many decades of life experience. Although Li Yuhang runs the Jianan Vegetable Development Company fairly well, the supermarket is still doing well.
But in his opinion, Li Yuhang's goal is still a bit of a pie-in-the-sky market. One year is for the northern Sichuan market, three years for the province's market, five years for the southwestern market, and most counties and cities must have branches. In his opinion,
Some fantasy.
However, like these young people, he said that he would focus mainly on the supermarket. In any case, it is good to have such a goal, which is better than focusing on just running this store.
Li Yuhang doesn't care whether Zhang Guangming believes it or not, this is his plan for supermarket development, and he believes that as long as there are no major problems in the development, the plan can be completed much earlier.
He deeply understands that only if these employees can see the future prospects and can see the way to make money will they devote all their energy to the company. If these employees cannot see the future and the way to make money, don't expect them to
How hard can you work?
The ultimate goal of middle- and lower-level employees working in the company is money, while top-level employees have more requirements besides money, such as the company's prospects and whether they have a sufficient platform to showcase their abilities.
The reason why Li Yuhang mentioned these things today is to enable these employees to be full of motivation and devote all their energy to their work.
After everyone stopped talking, he warned again: "No matter how big our supermarket develops, we will adopt the principle of internal priority when it comes to promotions. We pay more attention to abilities rather than diplomas, so I also hope that you can take the time.
Study more and you can become a member of the company's senior management in the future.
In the future, there will be city-level regional managers, provincial-level regional managers, regional regional managers, company department heads, and even vice presidents, etc. As long as you are capable enough, you can serve.
I personally also hope that when Jianan Supermarket becomes the top supermarket group in the domestic and even the world's retail supermarket industry, all of you here today will be one of our core executives."
Zhang Guangming felt that his blood was boiling with Li Yuhang's words. He thought about what it would be like if Jianan Supermarket could become one of the world's top supermarket groups, and if he could become the vice president of the group.
At that time, if I go to a place to inspect, I am afraid that the local parents and officials will come to greet me and discuss cooperation matters with me in person.
Li Yuxin looked at Li Yuhang with stars in her eyes. She knew that with Li Yuhang's words, these employees would definitely work hard, and these people would definitely work hard to learn management knowledge.
She knew these employees very well. Except for Zhang Guangming, the other nine, six girls, and three boys all came from poor families and gave up their studies after failing to get into technical secondary schools.
As long as they are willing to study hard, their future prospects will not be worse than those of some technical secondary school students and college students.
These were also the ones she and Li Yuhang specially selected during recruitment, so that they could become the mainstay of Jianan Supermarket in the future.
Children from poor families are more grateful, they will be more loyal to the company, and they will not easily choose to change jobs in the future.
This is still the first step in their plan. In the future, they will set up a charity fund to mainly assist children with excellent academic performance and very difficult circumstances, support them to go to college, and then be absorbed into the company to enhance the company's talent competitiveness.
Of course, there is a certain degree of internal priority for promotion. Li Yuhang will also recruit some outstanding talents from the outside, so that there will be no fixed internal power. Jianan Supermarket must be under his absolute control.
