Chapter 420: One word

Three days before Christmas, two large storage supermarkets built by Chen Mingluo in Yangshuo finally opened well.

Although Chen Mingluo had previously told the supermarket manager to send more staff to maintain order, and the cashier must be fully operated. Even if it is prepared and not used, there must be no congestion, on the first day of opening, the two supermarkets were still crowded.

After Chen Mingluo accompanied the leaders of the city headed by Xiao Mingxue to cut the ribbon, he took everyone to the office upstairs for a while, and then arranged dinners. Each leader also gave a red envelope, but the red envelope was not cash, but the super member shopping cards of these two large supermarkets, that is, shopping cards that can be 10% off for all products.

At this time, because the number of large supermarkets is not very large and the consumption model of shopping cards is not very strict in the policy of charging shopping cards. Xiao Mingxue looked at it and saw that everyone had no reaction. It was arranged by Chen Mingluo, so he didn't say much.

In everyone's eyes, his attitude seems to be very reasonable.

In fact, leaders at this level who can follow Xiao Mingxue to cut the ribbon are basically those who have nothing to do, and may not be able to appreciate the shopping card sent by Chen Mingluo. However, when someone was interested in taking the shopping card to the supermarket and swiping an artwork as a souvenir, he was shocked to find that Chen Mingluo actually had 20,000 yuan in cash in it.

After everyone's estimate, based on the number and level of the leaders who came this time, Chen Mingluo would have to give at least about 500,000 shopping cards, which was indeed a big deal.

But after thinking about it, I feel relieved. After all, there are two supermarkets that have such a large amount of money, and it costs a day to make a profit. As for profits, there is no concept of this, but it is difficult to guess.

After Chen Mingluo dealt with these leaders, he ran to the supermarket below to see how the results were. He found that the abortion outside was simply spectacular, and the crowds who rushed over from afar were very congested. The supermarket mobilized all the security guards in total, but he still felt that there was not enough staff.

Various vehicles have already filled the vast parking lot, and security guards guide vehicles to enter and exit in an orderly manner. It is difficult to find a parking space, which shows that the market is booming.

Chen Mingluo felt that this situation was a bit like the stock market hall during a bull market, and it was a little shocked for a moment.

When he went inside, he found that the situation was even more complicated. In the entire supermarket, consumers were holding shopping boxes or pushing shopping carts. No matter what they were doing, they tried hard to put them in their shopping carts or shopping boxes. There were more people waiting in line for payment. In front of more than 40 checkout channels, at least a dozen people were waiting for the checkout in each row, and some were even more.

Fortunately, they are all managed by computers, otherwise it will take a lot of time to check out alone, but it takes a lot of energy to find change. Fortunately, some people have membership cards that are issued in advance, so this checkout also saves a lot of time.

"It's still a bit unsatisfactory!" Chen Mingluo frowned and turned around, feeling that there are still some loopholes in management, and his previous estimate of this congestion situation was a bit insufficient.

He didn't expect that opening a large storage supermarket would be so popular now. It seemed that as long as the things placed on the shelves could be sold easily.

The most popular goods are daily necessities, and some specialties from other places that are rarely seen on the market. Even bread and pastries baked on site in a corner of the supermarket are very popular.

According to Chen Mingluo's suggestion, the fast food restaurant opened next to the supermarket has also been extremely popular.

This is the so-called one-stop consumption service. After Chen Mingluo saw it, he went back to talk to the anxious manager for a while, and told him where he should work hard, where he needs to improve, etc.

Strictly speaking, the supermarket is equipped with a relatively sufficient staff. No matter how many staff members cannot fully realize their own potential, it is a decoration. Chen Mingluo said that he could give employees special allowances during this period, but they should be trained so that employees can understand what they should do and how to better serve customers.

"Should you also hold an activity to select outstanding employees?" The manager finally made a suggestion that seemed more reliable.

"Of course, you must not only do it, but also make a name for yourself-" Chen Mingluo expressed his attitude, "not only should you have material rewards, but you must also clearly tell the employees that employees who perform well in this period may be recognized by the company, become formal employees of the company, and even become the management of the supermarket."

"This is a lot of excitement!" When the manager heard Chen Mingluo's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Now the employees hired in supermarkets are basically temporary, with a probation period of one month. Whether they can be retained after this depends entirely on their performance during this period. Even if they are formal employees who are converted to supermarkets, their situation is not so stable. If they violate the company's regulations or do things that are not suitable for their identity, they may be fired at any time.

But becoming a formal employee of the company or becoming a supermarket management is completely different.

The manager can completely imagine how much interest you will become once you know the news, it will be quite easy to mobilize this enthusiasm.

"In addition, we should guide everyone to use membership cards to spend—" Chen Mingluo thought of the very congested checkout window today, so he ordered, "You can hold an event. For example, if you apply for a membership card during New Year's Day, you can be exempted from card application fees. You can get double points for shopping during the Spring Festival. These measures will definitely work."

The manager nodded repeatedly. He also saw the situation today. It was a troublesome when checking out. If you really use shopping cards or membership cards to spend, the situation will be much better and the channel will become smoother. Chen Mingluo's suggestion is very targeted. After all, most people have this mentality of greed for small gains. Giving everyone a little discount can guide them to try new things in this regard.

Once this habit of using shopping cards or membership cards is developed, the benefits for supermarkets will undoubtedly be huge. At least they will basically become loyal customers of supermarkets, and this place will also become their first choice for large-scale shopping.

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the supermarket's operation must be better and better, and activities that are often launched that interest everyone, not just a little discount on the price.

Chen Mingluo had a lot of things in his mind, and he couldn't think of so many improvement measures for a while. He just said something when he thought about it. The manager wrote it down carefully, thinking that he must sort it out carefully when he turned around and learn more from the boss.

After a while, the supermarket urgently contacted the manager and said that there was not much reserve of cash.

"Then contact the bank quickly and ask them to send some money!" The manager immediately became anxious.

Before the opening, he contacted the bank and mobilized a large amount of cash in cash. He thought it should be sufficient. But now, before he could hold on for a day, the cash in cash was in exchange for a change, which is really incredible, but at the same time, it can also reflect the crazy degree of consumer shopping.

Soon, the bank drove a cash delivery truck and transported a large box of cash in under the escort of six gun-carrying security guards, and then sent the divided cash to each checkout channel through the employee channel.

"It seems that we still need to vigorously promote the membership card system, at least that is convenient to use, otherwise, using cash will cause headaches to death-" The manager felt relieved when he saw that the problem had been solved and wiped his sweat.

"I have worked hard these days. I will summarize the experience and lessons. The security guards must also strengthen it. In addition to this month's salary, I will give you another two months of salary as a bonus." Chen Mingluo felt that the manager was working very hard, so he expressed his attitude with gaze.

"That's great!" The manager thought that he had been working for so many years, and he was the most generous of this young boss. It was a rare good person. No wonder he made so much money at a young age.

During dinner, Xiao Xiao asked about Chen Mingluo's supermarket.

In fact, Xiao Xiao doesn't care much about such things. If she has time, she often reads books and materials about architectural design, and also pays attention to various cutting-edge characteristic buildings in recent years, but she doesn't care much about shopping malls and other things.

This time when I asked Chen Mingluo, it was actually because Xiao Mingxue mentioned this matter to her, saying that Chen Mingluo's two supermarkets were opened, and it seemed that the effect should be pretty good.

"I heard that you gave out a lot of shopping cards when you cut the ribbon. Will you lose money because of this?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"It probably won't." Chen Mingluo was quite sure when he said this. Looking at the crowds today, as long as it can last for three days, the cost of giving gifts will definitely come back. There is no need to worry about whether to pay or not.

But what bothers Chen Mingluo now is that the number of cashiers seems to be a little less. After all, although it is easy to recruit workers now, it is indeed a bit difficult to find so many girls who are familiar with computer operations and are more agile in their brains. If you rely entirely on your own company for training, it will take about half a month to complete it.

In short, there is a lack of a lot of skilled workers now!

However, when he talked about this, Xiao Xiao replied easily, "Isn't that simple? You can find it from the school."

"Yes, I've been busy these days, why have I forgotten this?!" Chen Mingluo slapped his forehead and thought to himself that he was dark under the light. He actually forgot that the school is the largest human resources wholesale center.

In fact, as Xiao Xiao said, there are still many idle people in the school.

Once many people reach their junior year, they are basically familiar with the operation process of the entire university, and the learning tasks begin to become lighter. At this time, everyone's mind is basically no longer studying. Most people are thinking about where to go after graduation.

Especially for graduates in recent years, the survival problems in society have become more troublesome. How to pave the way for their future from the time they are in school is also a very serious problem.

In recent years, computer operation has basically become a survival skill that every college student needs to master before leaving school. Girls are naturally no exception. At least when applying for a job, people will ask you if you can operate a computer?

Although many positions do not require computer operation, people will ask this question, just like many employers need to look at graduates’ foreign language CET-4 or CET-6 certificates. It does not mean that they are going to do foreign-related business. This is just a trend of the times.

Therefore, it is relatively easy to find some girls who are proficient in computer operations in school, especially there are many girls who are not in good condition here. They have introduced a group of people in supermarkets and only work for one period a day, so there will be no obstacles.

However, in this operation, it is best to contact the school and develop it in the name of social practice, which makes it easier for everyone to accept it.

Chen Mingluo's mind was like this, and he basically took out the big plan.

However, he also knew that if this kind of thing was brought up by himself, it seemed to be a bit inappropriate, so he told the supermarket manager about the general situation, and asked him to submit a written suggestion for the cooperation with Xiling University and hand it over to his side.

After all, as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Xiling University, especially as the main leader of the student innovation practice activities, it is just a matter of one sentence to approve such a cooperation plan.

Xiao Xiao saw Chen Mingluo calling here to arrange things, and felt very happy, feeling that he had finally helped him with some help.
