Chapter 90

At the end of March, Sun Tao returned to Pingchuan after his inspection in Fucheng.

That afternoon, Li Dong saw Sun Tao, who had lost weight again.

This time, Li Dong didn't say anything, patted Sun Tao on the shoulder and poured him a cup of tea himself.

Sun Tao was a little flattered, and got up quickly and said, "Mr. Li, you're too polite."

Li Dong smiled and didn't speak. The two sat down and smoked a cigarette. After a while, Sun Tao said: "There are 6 counties and 2 municipal districts in Fucheng. My opinion is to open seven stores for the time being. One store in the city is enough.”

"Is the competition fierce over there?" Li Dong didn't follow his words, but asked.

Sun Tao said: "Fucheng is bigger than Qingyang, the economy is developing faster than Qingyang, and the competition is naturally fiercer than Qingyang. However, the county town is not bad. Except for a few small supermarkets, there are almost no big supermarkets."

Li Dong was silent, and it seemed that the competition was still fierce.

In 2004, there were almost no supermarkets in the county towns under the jurisdiction of Qingyang, but now there are supermarkets in the county towns of Fucheng.

After pondering for a moment, Li Dong said: "Since Brother Sun has completed his inspection, we will start construction as soon as possible. The speed of decoration should also be accelerated, and strive to open before July."

Sun Tao thought about it for a moment. It was about to enter April. If it opened in July, he only had three months to prepare.

In three months, if the speed is fast, it is almost enough.

After thinking about it, Sun Tao said again: "What about the personnel?"

"Let Qi Yunna go to Fucheng."

"The manager of the city store?" Sun Tao probed.

Li Dong shook his head and said, "Regional manager."

Sun Tao immediately frowned, and went directly from the county-level branch manager to the regional manager, which was a big span.

And Fucheng is about to start construction of seven branches. Can Qi Yunna take on such a big task?

Vaguely, Sun Tao felt that Li Dong might not only value Qi Yunna's ability, but more importantly, Qi Yunna was Li Dong's direct descendant.

To be honest, sometimes Sun Tao worries himself.

Nowadays, in the six stores in the distance, except for Dongping and Nanhe, almost all the other stores are his people. Longhua is even directly in charge of him. If Li Dong doesn't mind at all, it will be a ghost.

Thinking of this, Sun Tao didn't raise any objections, nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll inform you later."

Li Dong nodded and said again: "Let Guo Mingzhi go to Fucheng District to be the store manager."

Sun Tao couldn't understand what Li Dong meant. Guo Mingzhi was his old relationship.

To assign Guo Mingzhi to be the store manager in the city, is it to restrain Qi Yunna, or to appease herself?

Li Dong didn't care what he was thinking. After talking about Guo Mingzhi, he stopped talking about staffing arrangements and asked, "Has the budget been made?"

"Probably between 12 million and 13 million." Sun Tao hurriedly replied, throwing away his thoughts.

Li Dong rubbed his temples and said irritably, "It's higher than the previous estimate. The average investment in each store is more than 1.7 million."

Sun Tao didn't say anything, the cost is definitely rising, and the rent alone is much higher than last year.

Moreover, labor is more expensive today than last year, and money is becoming less and less valuable.

In 2004, it was enough to open a store of the same size with about 1.5 million yuan. Now it has risen by more than 10%.

Li Dong sighed, it's still good now.

In a few years, rents will become the bulk of the rent, and supermarkets will probably be making money for landlords by then.

Why are so many small supermarkets unable to support in later generations, the most important thing is that the cost is too high, on the one hand, rent, on the other hand, labor.

The labor is okay, everyone is the same standard.

But rent is different. Many large supermarkets actually buy stores to operate.

For example, Suguo, in addition to some franchise stores, many of Suguo's direct-operated stores belong to their own industries.

Li Dong wanted to do the same, but unfortunately he didn't have the capital.

Let's just say that Fucheng's budget of 12 million this time, if it buys the store management, I am afraid that it can only open three stores, which is not what Li Dong wants.

Forget it, the road has to be taken step by step, and it is useless to think about it now.

Putting aside these thoughts, Li Dong and Sun Tao talked for a while about the preparation of the branch.

When the two of them were about the same, Hu Yong knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing Li Dong and Sun Tao, Hu Yong said, "Mr. Li, President Sun, Miss Li Qian is in Pingchuan today. Does President Li have any plans for the evening?"

"I won't get involved in this matter, you are responsible for entertaining." Li Dong said.

Hu Yong suddenly looked embarrassed and asked again, "Does President Sun have time at night?"

Before Sun Tao could speak, Li Dong suddenly said angrily, "Isn't it enough that you, the manager of the marketing department from afar, came forward enough?"

"A player who came out of the draft is not an international player, do you want me to bow to greet him?"

"Mr. Li, I..." Hu Yong was startled and quickly explained.

Li Dong waved his hand to interrupt him, humming: "It's not that I didn't pay, it's just an exchange of equal value, why should I lower my worth! She dared to ask me 100,000 yuan for a business performance, if it wasn't for you to make up your own mind. , I'll give her a shit!"

Speaking of this, Li Dong is full of fire.

This guy Hu Yong actually signed a contract with Li Qian without telling him to come to a distant place for a commercial performance, and the appearance fee of 100,000 yuan!

Hearing this price, Li Dong was going crazy. In 2005, he could hire a second-tier star for 100,000 yuan. He needed to hire this Li Qian!

If it wasn't for Hu Yong's explanation afterwards, Li Qian's reputation in Pingchuan was higher than those of second-tier stars, and Li Dong opened his heart.

Even so, Hu Yong's bonus for this month has been deducted. I didn't expect this guy to come again today!

Although Yuanfang is not a big company, it doesn't need to be low-key to flatter a little star.

Seeing Li Dong's anger, Hu Yong's face turned pale, and his eyes turned to Sun Tao for help.

Sun Tao sighed, got up and persuaded: "Mr. Li, why don't I go there, anyway, they are also invited by us."

Li Dong was still angry, because he was worried about money.

As a result, Hu Yong did this again, and Li Dong really wanted to let him go.

But it doesn't make sense to think about it. Hu Yong is still a bit capable. Under his leadership, the marketing department has done a good job. Not only has the performance of Yuanfang not declined this month, but there are still signs of improvement.

This is also the reason why Li Dong only deducted his bonus last time. Otherwise, Li Dong would just kick him if he changed it, and he would not listen to his explanation.

He took a sip of water and suppressed the anger in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "You go to receive Li Qian first, Mr. Sun will pass by when there is time."

Hu Yong rushed out of the office as if he had been granted amnesty.

As soon as he left, Sun Tao smiled and said, "Manager Hu is still pretty good."

Li Dong snorted, "If he hadn't done a good job, I'd have fired him earlier! Make up your own mind. If the commercial performance is not good, and the 100,000 yuan won't be earned back, you see how I can deal with him!"

In addition to the 100,000, there are also 80,000 from the school.

With an investment of 180,000 yuan, Li Dong doubts whether this Li Qian has the ability to earn it back for him.

Despite Hu Yong's repeated assurances of value for money, Li Dong is still full of distrust.
