Chapter 515, Continuous Explosion

After leaving Jiming Temple, the two drove directly to Xinjiekou, planning to have lunch there, and then go to the first flagship store of Busheng.

There were many people at noon, and it was time for lunch. The two searched for a long time and guessed that they had a small spicy restaurant.

After ordering the dishes, Lu An apologized: "Sister Qingchi, it's rare for you to come to Jinling. I wanted to take you to have a good meal, but this..."

Meng Qingchi interrupted him and smiled and said: "Next time you come to Changsha, cook for me."

"Okay."

Lu An responded, and then began to count the days, "I'll come over on May Day, and I'll cook for you for a few days then."

This made Meng Qingchi think of her promise last night. The next time they met, their relationship would be closer, but seeing Xiao An staring at her infatuatedly, and thinking of the lottery at Jiming Temple today, she had the last bit of worry in her heart It also disappeared:

"Well, I don't have as long a vacation as you during the May Day holiday, so I may not be able to accompany you every day."

Seeing the word "accompany" in her tone, Lu An was immediately delighted and said what he was thinking without thinking: "It's okay, I'll cook three meals a day for you, pick you up and drop you off at get off work, and play the role of Sister Qingchi's husband in advance."

Hearing the word husband, Meng Qingchi's face was slightly hot, but she has never been a person who regrets, not to mention that the other party is Xiao An, whom she has always doted on, and she will take the promised things seriously for the rest of her life.

The dishes came, all of which were home-cooked dishes, three dishes and one soup.

Lu An first served her a bowl of seaweed egg soup, then served himself a bowl, took a big sip and said: "I'm in a good mood today, and I feel that this ordinary seaweed egg soup is much better than before."

Meng Qingchi just smiled when he heard it, and her heart was particularly peaceful, without the hesitation and hesitation of the past.

Although she knew that she would face some difficult questions after returning to Xiangnan, it was God's will, so she chose to go with her heart.

After lunch, the two strolled along the street slowly. They bought delicious snacks and beautiful souvenirs without any scrimping.

After walking for about 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the flagship store in Xinjiekou. Before they even got close, they were bombarded by several loud speakers.

"Opening promotion, lucky draw for free mobile phones!"

"Selling cheap, satisfying!"

"Spend money with confidence, buy with confidence, at Bubusheng Supermarket, China's No. 1 retail brand."

"10% off for all items."

Meng Qingchi had never seen such a grand occasion before, and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao An, there are so many people!"

Not many, the supermarket entrance was crowded with people, the line occupied half of the street, a rough sweep showed at least 500 people, and there were more than 30 police officers sent by the police station alone, for fear of accidents.

Meng Qingchi stopped to look for a while, and asked at the end: "Are you really giving away a cell phone worth thousands of yuan?"

Lu An nodded: "It's true, but this is a special prize, the probability is less than one in a thousand."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered, "Sister Qingchi, you should also use a cell phone, so that we can contact each other conveniently in the future."

Meng Qingchi shook his head, "No, a pager is enough, and a cell phone is too expensive."

Lu An stared, "Money? It's just a few dollars, what if I want to hear your voice without a cell phone?"

After staring at each other for a long time, Meng Qingchi compromised.

But she didn't compromise for the cell phone, but for this relationship. Since Xiao An wanted to contact her and hear her voice anytime and anywhere, she would not refuse.

Those who open shops and do business are not afraid of crowds, but afraid of no one paying attention.

Although there were a lot of people at the entrance of the supermarket, Lu An seemed very patient. They lined up together and felt the shopping enthusiasm of Jinling citizens together.

Meng Qingchi was full of curiosity about all these new things. During the queue, her eyes were always on the lottery area next door. There were rice cookers, washing machines, refrigerators, and everything else. Seeing the lucky winners get big gift packages, she was touched: Xiao An has really grown up and has such a big family business without realizing it.

After queuing for a long time to enter the supermarket, the two first walked from the first floor to the third floor. During this period, several employees wanted to come over and say hello after seeing their boss, but they were stopped by Lu Anyong's eyes.

Zeng Ziqian, who came later after hearing the news, also stopped when she saw Meng Qingchi. She didn't disturb the two of them, but was just guessing in her heart: Does the boss like the elder sister? Or the younger sister? Why do I have an illusion that I seem to like the elder sister more?

Zeng Ziqian patted his confused head, not daring to think further, until the two of them finished shopping in the supermarket, he went over to say hello:

"Boss, it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you're finally here."

Lu An smiled and said, "I feel relieved with you here."

Then introduced: "This is my sister Qingchi."

Sister Qingchi is Sister Qingchi, but with the word "I", Zeng Ziqian was smart enough to sense something unusual, but pretended not to know, and exchanged pleasantries with Meng Qingchi for a while.

Walking into the office, he took the tea handed over by Zeng Ziqian, took a sip and asked: "How was the situation this morning?"

When it comes to business, Zeng Ziqian straightened up and reported: "It's better than expected. The turnover of the flagship store in the morning exceeded 1.25 million, reaching 1.278 million. The grand occasion in the afternoon continued. With continued efforts, there is hope to break through the 2.5 million mark today."

Lu An did not comment after listening. After all, the area of ​​the flagship store is almost 3 times larger than the first Bubusheng supermarket, and the turnover of the first supermarket exceeded 1 million in the morning when it opened. In comparison, this 1.25 million is not so amazing.

But many things cannot be calculated in this way. After all, the first supermarket has the advantages of the first supermarket. It is equivalent to eating crabs, so naturally the turnover will exceed expectations.

Lu An asked, "Are there any summaries for the other five supermarkets?"

"Yes, we count the turnover once an hour, so that it is easier to compile at night." After saying that, Zeng Ziqian told him the morning situation of the other five stores truthfully:

The supermarket near Southeast University in Jinling had a turnover of 851,000 in the morning.

Zhenjiang Bubu Sheng Supermarket had a turnover of 919,000 in the morning.

Bubusheng Supermarket in Wuxi had a turnover of 1.047 million in the morning.

Bubusheng Supermarket in Changzhou had a morning turnover of 923,000

The Bubu Sheng flagship store in Suzhou had a turnover of 1.306 million in the morning.

After listening silently to Zeng Ziqian's report, Meng Qingchi took a closer look at Xiao An's expression. While secretly surprised, he also subconsciously speculated on how much the net profit of the six supermarkets would be.

Other supermarkets were okay. When he heard that the turnover of the Suzhou flagship store was greater than that of Xinjiekou, Lu An's calm expression finally changed, "Suzhou has more sales than Xinjiekou?"

Zeng Ziqian said: "More! Suzhou is close to Shanghai. I found that the purchasing power of citizens there is much stronger than in other places. In addition, the flagship store there is 500 square meters larger than Xinjiekou, and it has not yet opened to influence It’s already huge.”

Lu An grinned and said, "That's good. Director Yang is in charge over there today, right?"

Zeng Ziqian said yes.

Lu An nodded and then made a suggestion: "There are now 6 supermarkets open. We can make a competitive comparison. In the three-day opening event, the supermarket that ranks first in total turnover will send a red flag. , a cash reward of 10,000 yuan will be given to the staff.”

Zeng Ziqian thinks this is a good idea and can maximize the enthusiasm of employees, but she also raised a question: "Boss, the Xinjiekou and SZ stores are flagship stores and have much larger areas. This seems unfair."

Lu An waved his hand and said directly: "There is no absolute fairness in the world. In this way, the turnover of the flagship store will increase by 28% year-on-year. Let them fight for it themselves."

At this point, Lu An paused and continued: "In the future, the red flag evaluation will be normalized and change once a month. You will hold a meeting to set a reasonable bonus based on the actual situation.

Also, you must clearly communicate what I mean at the meeting. In the annual competition, the company will give priority to the branch managers who have won the most red flags for job promotion. "

Zeng Ziqian kept these in mind and prepared to convey these meanings later.

The two of them discussed various situations encountered during the opening activities in the conference room for about 20 minutes. But when they were about to separate, Lu An glanced at Sister Qingchi and suddenly thought of the child in Sister Yu's belly, and suddenly felt a sense of excitement. Feeling a sense of urgency, he sat down again and said to Zeng Ziqian:

"After these six newly opened supermarkets are on track, we must seize the time to start the next step of layout, seize the favorable situation before others react, and strive to expand another 10 to 12 stores this year."

Zeng Ziqian strongly agreed with this decision, or in other words, rapid expansion is the common wish of all the senior executives of Bubu Sheng Supermarket. She asked closely: "Boss, in which direction shall we expand next?"

Without even thinking about it, Lu An said, "Shanghai stock market."

When she heard "Shanghai Stock Market", Meng Qingchi glanced at Xiao An again, and couldn't help but think of Yu Guanzhi and Qing Shui. However, she understood that Shanghai Stock Market was the economic center of China, and it was natural for supermarkets to expand there. So I forced myself to stop divergent thinking and not think too much.

Before Zeng Ziqian could answer, Lu An added: "Northern Jiangsu, neighboring Hui Province, and Zhejiang Province across the river are all our strategic locations, and we must not give them to others. You must grasp the layout, even if you don't have enough money. , we have to get things done first when we make loans.”

In fact, the loan is just a mental preparation. With the current supermarket revenue, expanding 10 to 12 new stores this year is not a problem at all.

But he is very aware of the fact that based on the historical trajectory, foreign capital will enter the retail industry in two years. It is also during this period that supermarkets of various domestic brands will spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, leaving them little time to step forward. Not much left, at most a year and a half.

Moreover, as Bubu Sheng Supermarket continues to be popular, who is sure that butterfly wings will not flap? Who is sure that some big guys won’t enter the venue early because they are jealous?

These are all unknowns.

The child in Yu Wanzhi's belly, the powerful Yu family, and future competitors, all combined, now he is under more pressure than anyone else, and he is more eager than anyone else to have impressive economic strength and social status.

"Okay, I will arrange manpower to visit the Shanghai Stock Exchange and these places as soon as possible. No matter what, I will first get the locations with high traffic flow." After two years of training, Zeng Ziqian's execution ability has reached a new level. His eyes were eager to try.
