Chapter 421: Obstacles to Expansion

Chen Mingluo's idea was indeed very good, and he immediately received wide responses at Xiling University.

In this era, after all, there are still many people who are worried about their livelihoods. The supermarkets offer a salary of 500 yuan per month. You should know that ordinary workers' wages are only 300 yuan or 400 yuan. As a cashier who only needs to serve for six hours a day, the reward is very good.

Even when the supermarket manager talked about this matter with Chen Mingluo, he felt that the price was a bit high.

"Sometimes, money is not that important-" Chen Mingluo said in his answer, "The students selected by the school Youth League Committee from the applicants are not very good. I think it is worth it to have such an opportunity to subsidize them. At least several years later, when they think of this, they will feel a little warmth in their hearts."

After hearing Chen Mingluo's words, the manager remembered that the boss also served as deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Xiling University. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. However, he felt that although this opportunity was good, he should try his best to express the supermarket's intentions. Otherwise, why bother doing those things that are so bright that you can do? So he said, "Good things should be done in a clear way. Although we don't want to be too high-profile and ask the media to promote it, these students themselves should know the inside story, which is also conducive to better exerting their initiative in work, right?"

"I don't object to this." Chen Mingluo smiled when he heard this, "You can just grasp the specific things, but don't do them too much, so as to avoid not achieving the goal, and make people think that you are repaying kindness, that's not good."

"I understand, boss, please don't worry." The manager replied with a smile.

The statistics for the three days before the trial operation were quickly calculated. Chen Mingluo was particularly surprised that the two supermarkets in Yangshuo received more than 100,000 people in three days, and sales exceeded 8 million.

Eight million, the profits of large storage supermarkets are already relatively high. Even if some daily necessities are sold at a relatively cheap price, after comprehensive statistics, the profit can reach about 30%, which means that the gross profit within three days has reached about 2.5 million.

After deducting employee costs and various expenses, it can earn at least two million yuan. This number really surprised Chen Mingluo, and Shui Rou, who settled the score with him, was also a little shocked.

"Even if tax deductions, there must be a net income of 1.5 million yuan. That is to say, earning 500,000 yuan a day is no wonder foreigners make money in supermarkets. I really didn't expect this thing to be so popular in China before-" Shui Rou said to Chen Mingluo while reviewing the financial statements.

This income is indeed not low, because Shui Rou also enjoys 20% of the income in the supermarket, so this is equivalent to her being able to collect 100,000 yuan every day, and it only earns tens of millions of yuan a year. Why wouldn't she be surprised?

Speaking of which, Chen Mingluo is still very dedicated to taking care of Shui Rou. As the only woman who has been dragged to bed at present, Shui Rou's situation is a bit different from others. She is the first person to invest heavily in Chen Mingluo and the first woman to sleep with Chen Mingluo. Moreover, her situation is a bit pitiful, so Chen Mingluo takes special care of her and counts her for all business.

Shui Rou's performance is also very considerate. She knew that it was not convenient for Chen Mingluo to appear in public, so she took on many things herself. She basically managed Nissan management and other things in the company. If it is explained that who has made the most contribution in Yu Group, it must be Shui Rou, at least for Chen Mingluo.

"This is probably a bit conservative. After all, we are now in the process of creating things. Although it seems that there is a lot of crowds, the real buying peak has not yet arrived. With the approach of New Year's Day and Spring Festival holidays, supermarkets will definitely usher in a bigger shopping boom. So I have been emphasizing to them about organizing supply and strengthening manpower allocation, mainly because I am worried that they do not have such experience and there will be embarrassing scenes of no stock to sell. If that happens, our supermarket's reputation will be greatly negatively affected." Chen Mingluo said to Shui Rou.

"Will sales hit a new high?" Shui Rou still felt a little incredible when she heard this.

The current situation makes her feel that it is already very good. After all, the management of supermarkets is relatively simple. For the boss, it is just waiting to collect money. Think about it. According to Chen Mingluo, she has to make a profit of more than 50 million yuan every year, so for Chen Mingluo, it is an income of 200 million yuan.

What else is there to make money easier than this? Or there are, but there are definitely not many.

Shui Rou felt at this time that she hoped to open several such large storage supermarkets in other places, and she would not need to do anything at that time and would have a revenue of hundreds of millions of millions of dollars every year. That would be awesome.

"Although this kind of thing can be done, it also requires local support. Otherwise, just dealing with entanglements in all aspects will make people feel at a loss, let alone making money." Chen Mingluo put forward different opinions on Shui Rou's ideas.

Opening a supermarket has a great impact, so there is a lot of contact with local government departments. Once there is a problem, it will cause great trouble, such as industrial and commercial taxation, health and epidemic prevention, and many other departments that cannot be reached, all of which try to bite the meat from the supermarket.

Especially during festivals and other festivals, various inspections are also a headache, and everyone wants to get a share of the pie.

Without strong strength, even foreign supermarket giants would not be so easy to live, just like Carrefour in France. Although Carrefour has done quite well in the domestic market, it is relatively inferior in the international market. Because the US government has never mercilessly suppressed French companies, Carrefour was completely driven out of the US market as early as 1993.

Carrefour invested in and established outlets in China, except that China has lagging business models in the retail industry and just started the supermarket industry. They saw opportunities in China, there was basically no profit elsewhere.

Even in Asia, Carrefour had a hard time in countries outside China, especially in Japan, which suffered heavy failures. When Carrefour landed in Japan in 2001, it claimed to be the leader of Japan's retail industry and invested a total of 1 billion US dollars to establish eight supermarkets. However, the good times did not last long. Four years later, Carrefour had to sell all its supermarkets to Japanese competitors, with a loss of 300 million euros.

In 2006, ten years after entering South Korea, Carrefour was forced to withdraw from South Korea and the Koreans bought 32 Korean branches of Carrefour. Previously, Carrefour's Korean company was fined about $1.5 million by the Korea Fair Trading Commission for engaging in unfair transactions.

It was precisely because Chen Mingluo was considering this that he was more cautious about Shui Rou's suggestions. After all, if this kind of thing is not operated well, it will be a more painful ending. So what he is considering now is to run the supermarket here first, make his reputation public, and then consider cooperation with some big cities.

After all, if your supermarket appears as a national supermarket chain and is welcomed and supported by local governments, all aspects of work will become easier.

After hearing Chen Mingluo's plan, Shui Rou agreed deeply. After all, she had done hotel business before and understood the power of government departments. If such large enterprises are not treated fairly by the local government, it is difficult to have any living space. After all, the country is a large government structure, and enterprises are subject to many constraints.

"Haha, but your plan to only recruit girls is still criticized. It is said that many boys at Xiling University feel a little bit gritted in this and condemned you for sexism." Shui Rou suddenly thought of Chen Mingluo's plan to cooperate with the Youth League Committee of the school to recruit some girls as cashiers in the name of innovative practice activities, and said to him with a smile.

"There is no way to do this." Chen Mingluo shrugged helplessly, "According to information from all aspects, girls have a stronger tolerance than boys when accepting simple working environments. We use this only by quantity. After all, cashiers are a relatively boring job, and it is difficult for ordinary boys to be able to suffer from this. If there are problems such as contradicting customers or having bad attitudes, the loss will be our supermarket."

Shui Rou nodded when she heard this and agreed with Chen Mingluo’s statement. After all, there is a difference between men and women, and this objective existence cannot be ignored. No matter how good you say it, the man is the man and the woman is the woman. There is no way to change this.

"Besides, finding a group of young and beautiful girls to be cashiers is much more pleasing to the eye than a group of stupid, big, thick and thick guys later?" Chen Mingluo said with a smile, "I don't know what others are like. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely feel good when I see the cashiers all beautiful girls, and I feel embarrassed to go out empty-handed, but if the guys are big guys, I may not have such a good shopping mood."

"You men are all the same, lustful." Shui Rou smiled after hearing this.
