Chapter 1387 Warning
While IKEA in the east was meeting to discuss countermeasures, Jiasheng in the north was also meeting.
The sudden situation mentioned by Cummins on the phone required Feng Yiping to interrupt the scheduled itinerary and rush to the United States immediately. Before that, he needed to make some adjustments and arrangements for his work in China and the problems he faced.
"Meijia's performance yesterday was good. Of course, it can also be expected that it will not be wrong during the three-day promotion period, including today and tomorrow," Feng Yiping said to Xiong Yuliang who was happy.
This should be the reason why everyone present is generally happy at present.
Just like what the girls at the front desk of the Magic Workshop discussed yesterday, the group has one more cash cow since yesterday.
And everyone present knows the significance of abundant cash flow to a company.
"The next question is how to attract more consumers to the store and make transactions after these three days. We currently have some strength in this regard, but I think that this strength needs to be strengthened."
"I hope our Meijia team will not be complacent because of the grand occasion of the past two days. Mr. Xiong, I hope you can always maintain the anxiety and tension before the opening. Everyone should keep our goals in mind. It is far from time to relax."
"I remember Yiping, I will convey your words to other colleagues immediately," Xiong Yuliang sat up straight and said solemnly.
Feng Yiping nodded, and the next question seemed to have nothing to do with Meijia. "I have actually been thinking, if we open medium-sized supermarkets in third- and fourth-tier cities, are the conditions mature?"
"Based on the current situation, I think it is necessary for the headquarters to set up a team to investigate this possibility."
"Related to Meijia?" Jin Ling made a note in the notebook.
"Yes, if we follow IKEA, Meijia will have to add many categories in the future. However, many of the new products added by Meijia are not suitable for sale in convenience stores like Youjia. Medium-sized supermarkets are quite suitable,"
"Understood, I will arrange it immediately," Jin Ling nodded.
The reason is simple. If the time is ripe to open medium-sized supermarkets in third- and fourth-tier cities, it will be very helpful to promote the sales of many household products in Meijia, thereby expanding the scale advantage.
"Another point is that how to cooperate with Meijia and decoration companies to achieve the best effect. I also hope that the headquarters and the two related companies will have more discussions,"
He even considered whether Jiasheng Decoration could be directly registered under Meijia.
Because generally speaking, customers who spend a lot of money in Meijia generally have the need for decoration.
Of course, on the other hand, customers of decoration companies will have a need for the products sold by Meijia. If the house is decorated, most of them will naturally buy new furniture and household products.
"Okay," this time Jin Ling, Xiong Yuliang, and the vice president of Jiasheng Decoration answered together.
"I hope Meijia can be more proactive and think of some solutions. For example, when I was decorating the model room last night, I was thinking, can we use our model room as a platform to display and sell more products?"
"In the study, can we display computers? I think with my relationship with Apple, I can definitely display Apple computers."
"Similarly, can we display TVs and refrigerators in the living room? The kitchen can naturally become a display platform for various kitchens and bathrooms."
"In this way, consumers can not only buy furniture and home appliances in our store, but also get reliable, professional and timely decoration services..."
"In short, after you buy a new house, you only need to come to Meijia, then you don't have to go to other places in the future. We will take care of everything. You just need to wait for the time agreed in the contract to move in."
Several people's eyes lit up.
"Of course, this is just a rough idea of mine. It is definitely not an easy task to make users feel so confident to hand over everything to us. However, can we conduct some research and practice in this direction?"
"No problem," Jin Ling and Xiong Yuliang said in unison.
This is Feng Yiping, who always comes up with some eye-catching ideas.
"Then the last thing," Feng Yiping closed the computer, "Everyone knows about these recent events now, which really gave me a great warning. You are the foundation of our group and the most valuable asset of our group. We cannot afford any mistakes."
Such words naturally made everyone feel warm in their hearts after hearing them.
"In order to ensure everyone's health, I think, in addition to the health check-ups twice a year, it is also necessary to set up gyms with complete hardware and software that can meet everyone's needs in the headquarters buildings in various places. Not only the hardware should be complete, but also professional fitness coaches should be hired to tailor fitness plans according to everyone's physical conditions,"
"At the same time, we should also equip all canteens with nutritionists to make our employee restaurants not only taste good but also nutritious,"
"Implement these two tasks as soon as possible. I hope they will be in place within a quarter. Is that okay?"
Jin Ling made another note, "No problem, the problem is that I am worried that the high-standard gym we have built will not be used very often,"
She glanced at Feng Yiping intentionally or unintentionally.
At present, the gym where he will stay has been upgraded, but the way of exercise that he has always insisted on is morning jogging without any equipment, and plank support with a mat or without a mat. Those expensively renovated gyms are basically of no use.
"Considering that you may travel frequently, or there will always be emergencies, and sometimes you are too tired and lazy to exercise, I think the situation mentioned by Mr. Jin may be more common,"
Jin Ling was speechless again. Is he making excuses for himself?
"Then, the headquarters will formulate relevant systems. The starting time is not limited, but everyone must exercise for a total of one hour every day. If this requirement is not met, will the human resources department formulate relevant punishment measures?" Feng Yiping plugged the loopholes in his suggestion.
"It's completely possible. If you can insist on getting up at 6 o'clock every day to exercise, everyone can do it,"
When the meeting ended, Feng Yiping said, "Mr. Jin, stay for a while,"
Jin Ling thought he kept her to talk about work, but Feng Yiping took her directly to the Temple of Heaven Park.
…………
The magnificent Temple of Heaven has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Feng Yiping and Jin Ling, wearing masks, and some old men with annual tickets on their chests, strolled leisurely among the red walls and green tiles, watching the large purple February orchids exuding fragrance.
"Sorry to give you this big mess again,"
"I'm used to it. It's either this or that. Anyway, if you have anything, don't you throw it to me?"
Jin Ling seemed to complain, but she was actually very happy at this time. Speaking of it, this is the first time Feng Yiping has visited the park with her.
If you want to talk about the capital park at this time, the most fun is definitely not here, but other parks with various flowers in full bloom. But Jin Ling is now looking at the Temple of Heaven under the blue sky, happy as hell, what's so strange about enjoying flowers, you can pray here.
Wearing masks, do you and him look like siblings?
"You really work too hard," Feng Yiping said, "I'm thinking, should we use the cooperation between the decoration company and Meijia as an opportunity to integrate the existing domestic industries?"
"Or should we give more powers to the vice presidents who usually sit in these four regions according to the current layout of the four regions in the southeast, central and northern regions, so that more things can be solved without going through you?"
"These may still need to be discussed, but I think one thing is certain, we should indeed let the headhunting company hire more vice presidents to share the work you undertake,"
"According to our current scale, I think doubling the number of domestic vice presidents is still a reasonable number,"
"You decide," Jin Ling said nonchalantly, "I'll arrange it if you decide,"
She didn't worry at all that Feng Yiping was taking the opportunity to reduce his power.
"Then find a headhunting company right away," Feng Yiping said.
"Are you serious? Why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
"Don't you want you to work too hard? If something happens to you, can Uncle Jin forgive me, and can the fans of the beautiful president forgive me?"
I would be more satisfied if I didn't add the last two sentences.
"What can I do? You are just overthinking. I am not as hard-working as them. Others may not know, but I know it best. As the president, I mainly do execution work. I don't need to consider any decision at all, so you are the one who is hard-working," Jin Ling glanced at him, "This time, you must bring Wu Qian with you, or other male assistants will do as long as you are used to it,"
"How can I be hard-working? Besides, our current situation is very good, which is really different from the situation they are facing,"
It is not a good thing for him to interrupt his scheduled itinerary and fly to the United States.
The chairman and president of McDonald's, who was attending the McDonald's International Owners and Operators Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, Ma Ling's hometown, was leading the giant McDonald's to carry out a far-reaching reform, and it has achieved remarkable results. Jim Cantalupo, who almost gave Feng Yiping a big business as soon as he met him, died of a sudden heart attack in the early morning of April 19th, local time in the United States.
He was only 60 years old.
Many people, including McDonald's executives attending the meeting, found it difficult to accept this news like Feng Yiping, after all, Cantalupo was only 60 years old.
This is not an isolated incident. At the beginning of this month, a similar unexpected incident occurred in China. Like Cantalupo, Jan Malm, president of Ericsson China, who was reforming the company and had turned losses into profits and was expected to lead the company to regain its former glory, died suddenly in Beijing due to cardiac arrest.
And this person was even younger, only 54 years old.
The main reason was that he had to interrupt his daily fitness activities due to his busy work recently. He arrived in Beijing from Shanghai in the evening of the 8th and decided to use his free time that night to go to the gym.
In fact, it was just running on the fitness machine, but the overloaded work for days made his heart unable to withstand such intense exercise, so the tragedy happened.
According to the current average life expectancy and the health care and medical care they can enjoy, 60 years old is really nothing, let alone 54 years old.
Feng Yiping also thought about his later self. It was probably because of excessive pressure and overwork that he had this experience.
The two accidents that happened in April gave him a profound warning and reminder. He didn't want to have another one.
"I will adjust my working hours and try not to work overtime at night. I hope you can do the same. If there is too much work, push it down and let the vice president and the heads of various departments at the headquarters take it for you,"
"Okay, okay, you are so long-winded, but tell me, what can I do if I don't work at night?"
Her words made Feng Yiping choke.
Yes, she returned to the empty house early, alone and lonely, what can she do?
But he didn't know what to say.
"I understand what you mean," Jin Ling took his hand generously, "but you know, I actually really enjoy the current pace of work,"
Or, it is because of work that they are closely connected. Without work, what kind of connection can they have?
"I will take care of myself, don't worry about me. It's rare to come out in spring, can I go for a good walk? Try it," she stood there and closed her eyes, "even the air is sweet,"
Feng Yiping really couldn't smell it.
