Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 127 Food Plaza

In the following time, Carrefour Supermarket, as the director of the Commerce Bureau said, made a lot of money in seven days. Although this turnover is not comparable to the supermarkets where Sun Zhaolun worked before,

But in Pingchuan County, it is absolutely unparalleled and unmatched. In just a few days, Carrefour Supermarket has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone knows that Carrefour Supermarket is synonymous with high quality and low price. People have changed from the original

The admiration and curiosity turned to recognition of Carrefour Supermarket.

Moreover, the services here and the shopping environment here make the residents of Pingchuan County feel comfortable and comfortable. Here, they can browse the goods at will, take them as they want, put them away as they want, and get final payment.

and no one would give any impolite reaction to this behavior. And what makes these people happy is that when Carrefour supermarket collects money, any change below five points will be waived.

.Although it’s just a small amount of money, if you put it all together, you can save a lot of money over time.

Regarding this point, Sun Zhaolun was once worried, fearing that someone would buy the goods in several batches in order to save a few cents. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Manager Sun, time is money. Although this concept is currently

People don’t pay much attention to it yet, but with the development of the economy, people will pay more and more attention to convenience and speed, rather than the few cents cheaper. Although, for now, maybe we will have less profit, but I think

From another perspective, repeated queuing is undoubtedly advertising for us. It is precisely because our Carrefour is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that everyone likes to come here to shop, so there is always a long queue at our checkout counter.

,Yes or no?"

"But..." Sun Zhaolun originally wanted to say that that would cause many people to give up purchasing because they would not think it was worth queuing for the few things they bought. But then he thought about it, this is not Hong Kong, and the self-selected supermarkets are currently Carrefour.

It is unique, and these people have no other choice. The ten percent price difference is enough to make most people give up their desire to find another home.

"Furthermore, I think that the people who queue up repeatedly in order to save some money must be in difficulty at home, and they will only be a very small number of people. Let's just treat it as doing good deeds!" Fang Mingyuan said decisively. But even so, Fang Mingyuan

The store is still required to determine the number of cashiers based on the number of customers. Unless it is during peak periods, try to avoid making customers wait for too long for payment.

Their conversation spread out somehow, and then spread from the store clerks to the county. Everyone who heard these words had a good impression of Carrefour.

"Manager Sun, it seems we have to consider recruiting another group of people." In the manager's office, Fang Mingyuan leaned on the sofa and looked at the constant flow of people outside, and said softly.

"Are you going to recruit more people?" Sun Zhaolun was slightly surprised. Although he thought that Fang Mingyuan would definitely take advantage of this momentum to expand rapidly, he did not expect that Fang Mingyuan would bring it up on the seventh day of opening.

"Master Fang, although we have achieved great success in Pingchuan, time is still short after all. We still have not established a stable footing, and a large amount of funds are invested in purchased materials. How can we have extra funds to open a new store?

"Although Pingchuan is a county, its population is limited and its purchasing power is also limited. In Sun Zhaolun's view, it cannot support a second store in a short period of time. If it is to expand to neighboring counties, it needs to be cautious.

After all, it's not Pingchuan, and the Fang family doesn't have that much influence. It might not be as easy as imagined to replicate Pingchuan's success.

"Eh? When did I say that I would open a new store?" Fang Mingyuan gave him a strange look. He just said that he planned to recruit a new group of staff. Why did Sun Zhaolun think of opening a new store?

"If you don't open a new store, what will you do if you don't have enough money to recruit? Although the manpower in the supermarket is a bit tight now, overall, it is still moderate. There is no need to replenish manpower." Sun Zhaolun also made Fang Mingyuan confused. He didn't understand.

What exactly does he want?

"Didn't Manager Sun propose to use this courtyard the day before yesterday? It is obviously a waste to use such a large piece of land to park bicycles. I also communicated with the police station and they agreed to set up bicycles on the road outside the courtyard.

This way, we can make full use of this empty space." Fang Mingyuan pointed to the open space around the supermarket.

"So, Mr. Fang, have you agreed to invite investment in this open space?" Sun Zhaolun said with a smile on his face. He plans to set up a series of stalls along the wall in this courtyard, which can be rented out to snack owners in Pingchuan County.

In this way, customers shopping at Carrefour supermarkets can enjoy a variety of snacks and delicacies without leaving the house.

This made Fang Mingyuan admire Qiu Xia's vision. Sun Zhaolun, whom she recommended, really has a lot of skills. Fang Mingyuan, who has lived in two generations, naturally knows that setting up a food court in a large supermarket has become a common practice in later generations.

As a standard, after 2010, even supermarkets, game arcades, cinemas, gyms, hotels, food courts, and various specialty stores will be concentrated in one building, allowing customers to enjoy thoughtful food without leaving the building.

Serve.

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan would naturally not refuse his proposal. But unlike Sun Zhaolun's idea, he wanted to include these stalls in the normal management of the supermarket instead of just charging stall fees.

Sun Zhaolun frowned slightly. From the perspective of supermarket management, he still prefers to rent these stalls to snack owners in the county. The supermarket only needs to maintain basic order and hygiene of the site.

However, it not only makes money, utilizes the space, and attracts customers to stay in the supermarket, but also does not increase the burden on the managers too much. If the operators of these stalls are also included in the formal establishment of the supermarket, then every day

Just purchasing and preparing various foods is a tedious task, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of the supermarket.

"Manager Sun, I understand what you are thinking. To be precise, if it is possible, I would also like to do it this way!" Fang Mingyuan's words couldn't help but make Sun Zhaolun even more confused, since Fang Mingyuan also thinks this is the right thing to do.

, so why insist on recruiting people?

"Manager Sun, recruiting new personnel can reduce the impact of the opening of our supermarket on the same industry in the county! County Magistrate Li Dongxing has already hinted to me that he hopes we can absorb some employees from central shopping malls and reduce the number of employees.

The central shopping mall has been in trouble for the past few years, and bankruptcy is inevitable. And our opening is undoubtedly a heavy blow to it. Moreover, even if someone takes over in the future, it is impossible to completely take over all the current employees. This

It's a heavy burden; secondly, Manager Sun is from Hong Kong, where all kinds of business rules have been established very well. Once any unexpected situation occurs, everyone can be said to be well aware of how to deal with it. But Pingchuan

Counties are different. The country is implementing the policy of reform and opening up, the economy is in transition, and many laws, regulations, and rules are not sound. From the beginning, these stalls have been handed over to the snack owners. I am worried that if any food hygiene accidents happen,

It will damage the reputation of our supermarket. In that case, the stall fees collected will not be enough for us to recover the losses. So in the beginning, the supermarket will still be run by itself. I believe that with Manager Sun’s rigorous attitude towards management, nothing will happen.

It's something that people complained about because he didn't pay attention to food hygiene." Fang Mingyuan's words made Sun Zhaolun couldn't help but nod his head.

"Thirdly, this is also a reserve for store employees. Once we decide to open new stores in the future, we can rent these stalls to those owners who, after a period of inspection, can meet our predetermined targets in various tasks.

The clerks can be transferred to the new store to serve as the backbone, bringing the old with the new. And I believe that after this period of operation, these stalls can be rented out at a better price. Isn't it killing three birds with one stone?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

, "The slightly more troublesome part is that we have to recruit a few chefs, and they have to be good at cooking and good at snacks."

Sun Zhaolun pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Fang, this is easy to handle. We just need to spread the news. I believe those snack owners will be tempted. We just need to add that during this period, all the people working in the supermarket will be officially

The chefs who have passed the test, both themselves and the people who send them, can enjoy the priority in renting. I’m afraid we won’t have to recruit by then, and there will be a lot of chefs coming to our door!”

The two laughed in unison, just like two foxes, one big and one small. Only then did Sun Zhaolun truly recognize Fang Mingyuan's business acumen. He was more understanding and thorough than he thought, and he took into account all aspects.

, his plan is obviously more stable and complete than his original idea. It not only pleases the county government, reserves employees for himself, but also increases the rental price of the stall. I believe that after a period of operation, those snack owners will

We will be willing to ask grandpa and grandma to pay a lot of stall rental fees. This is much less troublesome and labor-intensive than going to attract business by yourself.

So on the next day, a piece of news that made all the snack owners in Pingchuan County eager to move quickly spread in the county - Carrefour Supermarket was going to open a food court in the supermarket!
