Chapter 294 Cooperation with Guangmei
The first floor of Qiansheng Shopping Mall has not only been renovated, but also all kinds of electrical appliances are placed in place, ranging from refrigerators and color TVs to pagers and MP3s. They are placed in the store according to their respective brands and types, and are then allowed to be selected by customers after opening.
Lu Dong walked amongst them and chatted with Mr. Fan from time to time.
Recently, Guangmei Electric Appliances has been advertising almost crazy in major media in Quannan. With its strong strength, it is very tempting to be a strong dragon but a river.
It is said that strong dragons do not defeat local snakes. As for consumers alone, they are actually not so repulsive to foreign companies.
Of course, whoever has better discounts and better service will choose whoever is.
Sanlian Home Appliances has dominated the Quannan market for many years, and after being a public enterprise, some situations can be imagined.
Others don’t know that Lu Dong knows the people around him. He bought freezer appliances from Sanlian several times. When Lu Chun and Fang Yan got married, they also bought home appliances from Sanlian.
They have complaints about the price and service of Sanlian.
The two of them went up to the second floor, stood in the TV store, looking at the huge flat color TV. Mr. Fan thought of the people who came yesterday, and knew that they could not regard Lu Dong as an ordinary person, and asked: "Lu Dong, from your perspective, do you want to see Guangmei Electric open?"
Lu Dong smiled: "Mr. Fan, you're asking about people. I bought home appliances a while ago, and later I bought home appliances with my brother and my sister-in-law. They all bought from Sanlian. Buying home appliances to Sanlian, this advertising slogan is deeply rooted in Quannan..."
Mr. Fan frowned slightly. From the earliest encounter to the things he saw yesterday, he could not help but assign Lu Dong to a local snake.
Lu Dong spoke Mandarin as much as possible when he was doing business outside: "No matter how deeply the advertisement was, it was not as affordable as it was. Sanlian was the only one in the world, and the price and service... My personal experience is hard to describe. Mr. Fan, as far as I know, Guangmei Electric Appliances focuses on price and service. As long as the price is low and the service is good, the people who buy electrical appliances will not care whether you are a local enterprise."
Mr. Fan smiled and said, "I see things clearly."
This is not the first time that Mitsumi has opened a store in another place, and she can succeed every time she goes there. Why?
But then again, Sanlian Home Appliances is indeed a very strong opponent. As for the Quannan and Taidong markets, it will be an arduous battle.
Lu Dong came over and asked at the right time: "Next weekend, Guangmei Electric Appliances will open. Mr. Fan, is your opening promotion very strong?"
This kind of thing is obvious. Mr. Fan looked at Lu Dong and said, "There will be many promotions."
Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "Mr. Fan, everyone says that distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. Our two families are close to each other. Yesterday, Mr. Fan came to congratulate the opening of the business in person. Guangmei is about to open, and Lu's catering must also be expressed."
When Mr. Fan listened to these words, he felt that this young man, who was only twenty years old, had a worldly style that was far beyond his age.
It is not simple to have relationships, ability, and understanding the worldly ways.
Lu Dong smiled and said, "I have a suggestion that Lu's Catering and Guangmei Electric Appliances are close to each other, so it is convenient to help a little, otherwise Lu's Catering provides some promotional products for Guangmei?"
Mr. Fan smiled. Although he had a different purpose, his words made people feel comfortable. He immediately asked, "What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Dong roughly said: "Many people can't leave for a while when they buy electrical appliances. They may stay here for lunch. Guangmei sells electrical appliances to give Lu's catering coupons, which makes it easier for customers to eat nearby and go back to purchase after dinner. If you hold a lottery, Lu's catering can also provide valuable free order consumption cards."
Hearing this, Mr. Fan thought it seriously. Judging from Guangmei's preliminary publicity and investigation, there are inevitable people opening up. When Guangmei Electric entered several other cities, there were crowds of people and thousands of people queuing up.
Many people line up until noon to enter, which is not an exaggeration.
Lu Dong said again: "Mr. Fan, I think this will also reflect Guangmei's more comprehensive and high-quality service. With Guangmei Electric's appeal, there will definitely be many people queuing up at that time. The three stores of Lu's Catering are on the first floor and can also provide some services within their ability."
As the person in charge of Guangmei Electric Appliances in Taidong Province, Mr. Fan is naturally considering issues comprehensively, especially yesterday when he attended the opening ceremony of three Lu's catering stores.
"Yes." Mr. Fan responded without thinking for too long: "Mr. Lu, just ask someone to talk to the person in charge of the electrical appliance mall."
Lu Dong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let someone come over when I look back."
The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Dong left Guangmei Electric.
When I walked down the second floor by the escalator, I could see the Sanlian Commercial Building next to the west through the glass curtain wall, and it also put forward the banner of promotion.
After dominating the Quannan market for many years, Sanlian Electric Appliances has also felt the pressure of competition.
In the Malatang shop, Fu Chaoxia was wearing work clothes and a copper nameplate hung on her chest. She walked quickly through the passageway, checking the kitchen, counter and dressing room one by one to make sure there were no mistakes in her work.
Although she was transferred from Qingzhao to Quannan, although she did the same job, Fu Chaoxia felt heavy pressure. She was responsible for the daily work of the three stores, which was a heavy responsibility.
She dared not relax at all. She not only wanted to be worthy of the high salary she received, but also wanted to do a good job and continue to rise.
With hard work, luck and ability, Fu Chaoxia quickly grew from an ordinary waiter to a store manager in less than a year.
There are many people who have different abilities and attitudes from each other. In this world, there are actually many people who lack a platform for performance.
Like Fu Chaoxia, it is also a blessing to be able to join a company at the beginning of its establishment, be willing to learn and grow with the company.
Because the company is small, the work Fu Chaoxia did can be seen directly by Lu Dong.
If a company is larger and there are more progressive levels, it will be difficult for the leaders above to pay attention to the work results of their employees below. The achievements of many grassroots employees will eventually fall on the department leaders. Moreover, complex personnel relationships will also consume the aura of many people who are originally capable.
Moreover, in this society that values human relationships more, ability is often not even the main factor that determines promotion.
For example, like Qian Feng, he may have completely cut off the channels for growth without toasting his leader.
Now the personnel relationship between Lu's catering is relatively simple, and Fu Chaoxia has seized the opportunity and has grown up quickly.
After discovering a few shortcomings, Fu Chaoxia found the relevant personnel and took advantage of their unhumidity to explain a few words.
Then, I prepared to go to the Burger King shop next to me.
As soon as he left the store, he met Lu Dong. Lu Dong called Fu Chaoxia over and talked about his cooperation with Guangmei Electric Appliances in detail, and asked Fu Chaoxia to go to the person in charge of Guangmei Electric Appliances in Qiansheng Shopping Mall tomorrow morning to discuss.
I went to work on Monday morning and after the morning meeting, Fu Chaoxia went to Guangmei Electric Appliances. Because Lu Dong and Mr. Fan decided to cooperate, it would naturally be much more convenient to talk about it below.
Lu Dong met with Du Xiaobing and went out to see the house.
"Is this to learn from my sister?" Du Xiaobing drove north: "Buy a house and stock up on the house?"
Lu Dong sat in the co-pilot and said, "Old Du, we are in the industry, not real estate speculation. We buy houses mainly to facilitate recruitment and use them as collective dormitories for employees."
Passing in front of the main gate of Daming Lake, Du Xiaobing continued to drive north: "Indeed, my dad and my sister are the same. Many young people from other places prefer to choose jobs with lower wages because they do not provide accommodation."
Lu Dong said: "This low is only relative. Apart from the cost of renting a house, people may have more money."
After another intersection, you will come to Jingyi Road, the main road north and south of Quannan. Many roads on Quannan are named after Jingwei, such as Jingyi Road to Jingshi Road, Weiyi Road to Weishi Road.
In addition, the road with the character "jing" is east-west, and the road with the character "wei" is north-south, which is also a major feature.
Directly opposite the north gate of Daming Hubei, there is a newly built Minghu community. Du Xiaobing drove the car directly to the sales office.
There are multi-story residential buildings built here. I found the sales reception staff, and Lu Dong didn't say anything nonsense. After some bargaining, he ordered four houses with three bedrooms and two living rooms on the first floor and two living rooms on the second floor of the same unit.
The community has convenient transportation. There are many buses passing by at the entrance of Daming Lake. It is not far from Quannan Road Pedestrian Street. It can be reached in ten minutes by bicycle.
Follow the journey eastward for more than ten minutes and you can reach the business circle near the Provincial University.
There is also Beiyuan Street under development and construction to the north, and the train station is not too far to the west.
These are the locations where Lu's Catering is inspecting the opening of a new store. The staff dormitories are placed here to effectively cover the northern area.
The company will open a full-scale store in Quannan in the future. Within a certain period of time, Lu's Catering Company will provide temporary dormitories for employees.
Of course, if you don’t want to live in a dormitory for multiple people and want to solve your own accommodation problem, you will be left to choose.
In addition to the north, after a while, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing were also preparing to buy a house near the south of Quannan.
Nowadays, houses in Quannan city are not expensive, and the real estate market can only be considered average. It will take after 2003 to start price increases and sales.
At this stage, even in provincial capitals like Quannan, there are not many people buying commercial housing.
Because I bought four houses at one time, the unit price is 1,700 per square meter.
In the south, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing are planning to find time to go to Huanshan Road to see it. The house has just been developed for a while and the house is less than 1,500 yuan.
After 2003, Huanshan Road became a famous wealthy area in Quannan.
When buying a house, it can be used as an employee dormitory and invested as a fixed asset.
The three stores in the University Town and the two sites in Qingzhao County have stable turnover income every day. The first three stores in Quannan open to business. The capital flow of Lu's Catering Company is much looser, and purchasing this batch of properties will not affect the company's funds.
When driving to buy a house, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing were not so stupid that they were wearing big slippers and dressed in rags to enter the sales office. Naturally, they would not encounter any bloody things.
