Chapter 38 New Ideas

Although Fang Mingyuan knows that the quality inspection center has made great achievements in the past few years, and the result of strict management is that it is difficult for counterfeit products to appear on the shelves of Carrefour supermarkets. Although there are countless similar things across the country, Carrefour

Supermarkets are located all over the country, but there are very few cases where customers come back to claim compensation. The few cases that have occurred were later proven to be mostly people with ulterior motives who wanted to use this to discredit Carrefour Supermarket or extort money. But he

I didn't expect that people would give such comments!

"Yes!" Tang Yuqiang said with emotion, "It has only been a short time since Carrefour Supermarket was launched on the Shanghai stock market, and people have already recognized it. A big reason for this is because they were in Fengyuan City with the sales of water injection.

The commercial struggle between unscrupulous meat merchants. People would rather spend a little more money and walk a little more than go to a Carrefour supermarket to buy meat. So wherever Carrefour supermarket branches open in Shanghai, where are the unscrupulous meat merchants?

Just close the door."

"Then other supermarket companies can also establish similar quality inspection departments. As long as they pay close attention to quality inspection, it will be fine. Hukelong is not small anymore. It will cost more to establish and improve this system. Although it will cost more, it will be enough.

Wouldn't it be better if we could welcome more passengers?" Fang Mingyuan still said a little confused.

"More expenses are indeed nothing, but it requires a process. And this quality inspection department will not be able to operate immediately after it is established, and it will be recognized by the public!" Tang Yuqiang said with a wry smile, "The reason why Carrefour Supermarket has been

The public recognition is also due to the fact that in the past few years, there have been very few reports of counterfeit and shoddy goods in Carrefour supermarkets, and most of them were eventually clarified to be false news. Hukelong Supermarket now has its own quality inspection department.

But the cultivation of credibility cannot be established in a few days."

Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly awkwardly, he had indeed ignored this aspect.

Tang Yuqiang looked at his watch with some worry. The time was already close to 4:30, but the person in charge of Carrefour Supermarket they had made an appointment with had not yet appeared. Sharing the same sales channel with Carrefour Supermarket, this was Tang Yuqiang's suggestion.

Tang Yuqiang once stayed in Qinxi Province for a long time, and even worked for a period of time in the Fengyuan branch of Carrefour Supermarket. After returning to Shanghai from Fengyuan, with the help of his family, he established Huke

Hukelong Supermarket is one of the earliest supermarket chains to appear in Shanghai. Under his management, Hukelong has developed to today, with 31 stores spread across major cities in Shanghai and surrounding provinces.

It's just that except for the three stores in Shanghai City, the rest of the stores in Hukelong Supermarket can actually only be regarded as medium-sized supermarkets at best. Compared with the area of ​​Carrefour Supermarket branches in various places, they are naturally much smaller. And in Tang Yuqiang's view,

Come on, the competition between Hukelong and Carrefour supermarkets is not fierce at present. Although people like to shop in large supermarkets, this does not mean that there is no room for small and medium-sized supermarkets.

After all, there are only a limited number of people in a city who have enough leisure time and energy to go shopping in large supermarkets. Due to time and energy constraints, most people have a strong demand for medium-sized supermarkets that are closer to their homes. Here is an example.

A simple example, if you only plan to buy a small amount of daily necessities, only twenty or thirty yuan, even if you know that the goods in Carrefour supermarket, which takes five or six stops by train, are 5% cheaper than the Hukelong supermarket at your doorstep, then

Most people would not choose to spend more than half an hour going back and forth to Carrefour supermarket for something cheaper than one or two yuan.

Moreover, Tang Yuqiang believes that when the two major business giants in Europe and the United States are eyeing the Chinese market, Carrefour Supermarket naturally hopes to further stabilize its position in the Chinese market before the wolf comes, so Hukelong will take the initiative to move closer to Carrefour Supermarket.

Things that are beneficial to both parties should be rewarded with goodwill from Carrefour Supermarket.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time. Although he had just heard about the whole thing and hadn't figured out his thoughts yet, he felt that Tang Yuqiang's idea was indeed as he said, beneficial to both parties. Carrefour Supermarket

Naturally, suppliers have more confidence, and the purchase price Hukolon gets from Carrefour Supermarket's purchasing department should be lower than what they negotiate with the manufacturer alone, which can reduce costs.

The most important of them is Tang Yuqiang's evaluation of Carrefour Supermarket's current quality inspection center. To be honest, Fang Mingyuan himself did not expect that Carrefour Supermarket's quality inspection center now has a reputation in the public's mind.

It has such a high credibility! This is undoubtedly a good thing for the quality inspection center that is about to be separated and become an independent company! The more people recognize it, the stronger its credibility will be in the future. And the company's recognition will be more important to it.

It is also of great significance.

Fang Mingyuan looked Tang Yuqiang up and down. This somewhat lustful guy still had some discernment!

"Manager Tang, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Carrefour Supermarket has intended to separate the quality inspection center and set up a company in Hong Kong. In the future, not only Carrefour Supermarket, but also products from other companies can be sent to it for testing." Fang Mingyuan

In a low voice.

"Be independent?" Tang Yuqiang was surprised and said, "Why?"

"What a great idea!" Luo Yuanda, who was sitting next to him, clapped his legs and said, "What a great idea! Separating and setting up an independent company, also located in Hong Kong, not only shows independence and neutrality, but also reduces the direct impact of Carrefour supermarkets.

Facing the contradictions of manufacturers, we also avoided the possible influence of relevant domestic institutions in the future! It’s like killing three birds with one stone!”

Tang Yuqiang is also a smart man. After thinking about it, he understood what Luo Yuanda said. The independence of the quality inspection center is beneficial to Carrefour Supermarket. It may also be an opportunity for other supermarket companies!

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said nothing, but his eyes turned to the newspaper on the coffee table. He picked it up casually, flipped through two pages casually, and suddenly stopped. This was an inconspicuous and short article, and it was just a short article.

Mentioned a simple little thing. Yesterday, in a supermarket in Shanghai, there were too few cashiers, so there was a long queue of dozens of people at the checkout counter. A large number of customers had to go because they couldn't afford the time.

Give up the already selected products. At the exit of the supermarket, there are shopping carts and shopping baskets full of various products everywhere, which seems very confusing. And the customers who are queuing up to pay are also complaining about this, thinking that

The time it takes to pay is longer than the time it takes them to choose products in the supermarket.

Finally, the author of the article pointed out that today is a commodity society and a competitive society. The concept that time is money has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one is willing to spend a lot of time waiting in line. These businesses cannot just focus on the storefront.

In addition to hardware management, we must also pay close attention to the company's software. Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong, so that we can provide customers with the best quality services.

Tang Yuqiang leaned over and took a glance, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot. The supermarket mentioned in this article was a branch of Hukelong. It was the afternoon, and it was not the time of day when the passenger flow was the largest, but no

I know why, but there was a sudden influx of customers that day. As a result, the number of cashiers on duty was too small and could not meet the demand. There was a long queue in front of every checkout counter.

One of these guests was a reporter. Later, the reporter took this article to the Hukelong headquarters office to "verify the situation." Fortunately, the office director of Hukelong knew how to deal with people better, so he secretly handed it to the reporter.

For five hundred yuan, Hukelong’s name was hidden from the article.

Fang Mingyuan had encountered similar situations in his previous life. Many times, when Fang Mingyuan entered the supermarket, he would first look at how many people were in the front row of the checkout counter. If there were many people, he would turn around and leave unless it was necessary. But like Shanghai

What happened at the Kelong branch was just because the checkout counter could not check out in time. Not only would it cause a large number of customers to give up the goods they originally wanted to buy and lose their due profits, but it would also bring trouble to the stocking staff in the supermarket.

Huge trouble. More importantly, it will give customers a very bad impression. Many people may choose other supermarkets to shop if possible.

Similar things have happened at Carrefour Supermarket. It's just because most of Carrefour Supermarket's branches are large or even super large supermarkets. There are quite a lot of staff in each shift, and there are naturally a lot of cashiers. Although when the passenger flow is less,

Most checkout counters will also be closed. But once the passenger flow increases, enough cashiers can be squeezed out to divert customers paying. Therefore, it is rare to have such bad results as mentioned in the article. But for

For small and medium-sized supermarkets, due to the relatively small number of employees, there are not enough preparation personnel. Once an emergency occurs and a large number of customers enter the store, the checkout counter will be in a hurry and become a mess.

Regarding such a situation, Fang Mingyuan once imagined how he would deal with such a situation if he were the manager of these stores.

That is to mobilize the store's tally staff to the checkout counter to ensure that customers' payment needs are quickly met. As for troubles such as being unable to load goods in time, you can wait until the payment peak is over, and then organize staff to replenish it.

Shelves. But there is a problem. Not everyone is qualified for the job of a cashier, nor can it be done by just recruiting an individual. It requires training in advance. It is a technical job, unlike stocking shelves.

This is more of a physical job.

Of course, no one would be willing to accept the requirement that the tally staff have cashier knowledge and abilities but not receive a salary as a cashier. But Fang Mingyuan got inspiration from the novel. Linking the skills mastered by employees to their salary,

The more skills you master, the more subsidies you can get from the company, and you will be given priority in promotions from the company. Presumably, in this way, the enthusiasm of company employees to learn new skills will become higher!
