Chapter 1514 I Really Can’t Do It!
William White did not attend Peanutton's New Year's dinner as usual. This year's situation was particularly bad, which made it even less interesting.
Of course, since this is Bushu, a proper reason is actually very important. For example, you see, Kmart can’t survive anymore. After struggling with Wal-Mart for so many years, the older ones still can’t stand it.
Acquisition?
Don't think about it. At best, it has a net worth of US$15 billion, but has liabilities of more than US$13 billion. Let's put it this way, if your company operates normally, the so-called 15 billion U.S. dollars, at a 30% discount, is still around 10 billion.
But if you can't hold on anymore, then I'm sorry, don't give up 10 billion, 2 billion is enough. If you fall completely, you have to worry about whether you have money or not. You need to solve the problems of the employees first.
As a good person with a sense of social responsibility, let alone acquisitions, you can always find some employment. Kmart also has an online store, so you should at least eat this part.
To be honest, it’s not too outrageous, and William White has no need to refuse. Even if there is no reward, can you really have no sense of responsibility at all?
"How was it? Jason, what was your first impression?"
Jason Gao couldn't complain about being caught by his boss. Or if you stay in Rabbit Country for a long time, you won’t find it completely unacceptable to do things that are very ridiculous in the United States, such as free overtime and so on.
Oh my God, this is incomprehensible in the United States. If it’s more serious, I’ll go directly to the court to reason with you.
The situation in Big Rabbit Country is different. Workers are of course not allowed to work. Overtime pay is not given. Who knows who you are?
But when it comes to management, it seems that the higher you go, the less aware you are. When this thing developed to the end, it actually became 996.
How should I put it? To put it more seriously, this is the exploitation of surplus value. From a fair point of view, this is also very inappropriate. Think about it, a store is open all year round, and a store closes its doors at certain times. If everyone’s labor costs are about the same, there’s something wrong with you not closing the doors on time.
However, some are stipulated by law, and some are so-called practices.
The final outcome is almost certain, either those who obey the rules will go bankrupt, or everyone will unite to deal with the one who is particularly diligent.
Bastard, if you don't take a break or go on vacation, can you leave us some way to survive?
Damn it, you are lazy and reasonable, you are weak and you are awesome, right?
Extending the operating time is a maximization of resource utilization in terms of property utilization, and there is no need to think about what is right or wrong.
Sam Walton said that customers are God, but have Wal-Mart customers felt this kind of service?
If you think about it too much, they say that there is no harm without comparison. You will understand if you go to the retail companies in Japan and Rabbit Country. Wal-Mart's so-called first-class service is really nothing.
"Boss, it's terrible."
Well, William White looked shocked. He really couldn't understand why there was such a straightforward answer.
Boy, are you not satisfied with being caught as a young man?
There is no reason, Chinese Americans will always be Chinese Americans. Even in ABC, many things are difficult to change.
"Everyone I saw in the supermarket, from the cashier to the tally clerk, had expressionless faces. They all looked like they were dead parents.
OMG, I don’t have any urge to shop. As for warehousing and logistics management, they can't even sort out the labels, so you can't expect anything else.
Boss, this is an ancient pit. The quality of Kmart's employees is so low that there is no way to describe it in words. "
Oh my god, William White’s expressions are wonderful. In his impression, the situation here was not very good, and he had no idea of taking over a group of high-quality employees. However, this does not mean that he is willing to change the status quo.
Damn it, if this messes up the World Mall, he won’t even have tears to cry. For this logistics problem, he has used all his cards here, but despite this, the satisfaction of logistics has never been improved.
Okay, let’s not solve this problem and add a new one. Nowadays, 7-11 in the United States has a high reputation. Although the service is not as good as Japan, it is better than local supermarkets in the United States such as Kmart and Wal-Mart. In other words, large-scale 7-11s are an attempt. There are many in Rabbit Country, but they are rare in the United States.
Yingjiang has already studied things like supermarkets thoroughly, but some of his ideas cannot be realized. No matter how powerful you, William White, are, you still have the ability to transform people.
Not to mention that large supermarket chains require so many people. Can your small Disneyland be reorganized?
In fact, it's impossible. We just have to deal with a bunch of troublemakers in a while. For this trivial matter, I fight with the guild on average once every two years.
More than half of the profits go to the legal department. It is actually difficult for the guild to encounter such a paranoid boss.
Damn it, it's okay to throw away ten dollars, but I will never give a dime to the guild. You really don't know what to say when you meet such a scumbag.
"Ha, it's true. No wonder it closed down. It's a pity that a hundred-year-old enterprise just disappeared and died quietly."
It’s not that William White has a girlish heart, this is indeed a bit emotional. Look at the United States, which is riddled with holes right now, how similar it is, that is, if it has some military strength, otherwise, you can basically declare it over now.
“Walmart has finally waited for this day. It’s quite difficult to think about it, but it actually succeeded in counterattacking.
Hehe, will the old guy's next target be us? I heard that they had some ideas about Amazon before, but then they didn’t say anything about it for some reason. "
"Because it's not that simple. Online is online, and you may not be able to do it offline. If you don't quickly expand your lead, I won't say, I will really give it a try."
Seeing that this guy was talking casually, Jason Gao didn't care. If the boss really plans to do this, he will definitely persuade him. Don't talk about other things, straightening out personnel relations, you can't do it in less than a year.
And what is Wal-Mart doing?
In order to improve customer satisfaction, Wal-Mart plans to spend a lot of money this time. Let's put it this way, the banknotes you take out can completely replicate a Kmart.
"Boss, since there is trouble offline, what should we do?"
"Without it, we will continue to strengthen our online advantages. The current logistics system is not good enough. We should take advantage of the Great Recession to clean up the house first."
William White had money, so he didn't mind the hassle. Some clauses that are very unfavorable to capitalists were signed in years when the economic situation was poor.
This is a bit funny, right?
In fact, no, the guild knows very well that you don’t dare to be serious about this kind of thing. If it really gets out of hand, we will change the place at worst, but you will most likely go bankrupt.
