The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 300: Follow the supermarket

   Chapter 300 Follow the supermarket

   "Affected by the current round of Siberia's cold snap, it is expected that there will be strong winds and cooling weather in most parts of our province this weekend. The temperature drop in some areas can reach 8 to 10 degrees, and there are heavy snowstorms..."

  In the black Santana sedan, Lu Dong was driving, and the radio broadcasted the latest weather forecast. The theme was still the one that repeats countless times every winter—the Siberian cold snap is coming again.

   Came to the provincial innovation port, drove the car directly into the underground parking lot and put it away, Lv Dong took the elevator to the eighth floor.

   As soon as he entered the door, Xue Tian greeted with a smile at the front desk: "Mr. Lu is early."

   Lu Dong was dressed in black and looked more mature, and nodded immediately: "Xiao Xue, good morning."

  Although the company has recruited some people, the office space of more than 300 square meters is still very empty.

   Entering the office, Xiao Xue immediately brought a cup of hot tea. At present, the company has limited staff. Xue Tian is not only at the front desk, but also serves as a number of other companies.

   Innovation Harbor has central air-conditioning, but it is not turned on. A cup of hot tea in the morning will warm up your hands and body.

   "Thank you." Lu Dong said politely and explained, "The meeting will be officially opened at nine o'clock, and you should clean up the conference room."

  Xue Tian quickly said: "Mr. Lu, I have already packed up."

  Lu Dong nodded slightly: "Okay."

  Xue Tian went out of the office, and Lu Dong packed up the materials prepared in the past two days, which will be used in a meeting later.

  Qiao Weiguo came in from the door of the company, just like last winter, no hat was on his bald head.

   As the working time is approaching, the employees of the company arrive one after another. The heads of departments like Qian Feng, Xu Man, Qiao Weiguo and Su Xiaoshan are all making corresponding preparations for the meeting.

  Xue Tian went to the conference room again and made sure that there was no problem. He just returned to the front desk and saw someone coming in the corridor opposite the door.

  Song Na entered the door, greeted Xue Tian with a smile, and went directly to the conference room.

  Xue Tian watched Song Na turn into the conference room with envy.

  Grey woolen coat, high-neck black sweater, dark blue leggings, half-height leather boots, and a neat bob. It seems very ordinary, but it has a very outstanding temperament.

   It is undeniable that the skin is a little darker, but he looks beautiful and has a good figure...

  Xue Tian also knows that this is a veritable little rich woman who came out to do business and start a business as soon as she went to college, not counting the investment in Lu's Catering, plus this recently opened, she has four stores of her own.

   She heard Xu Man mention that their monthly income is over 10,000 yuan.

   In addition, she is also a minority shareholder of Lu's Catering and the future proprietress.

   It must be a lie to say that I don’t envy. The same people were all admitted to college from rural areas, and people were still from the mountains. Why is the gap so big?

   was thinking wildly when he saw two tall men coming, one of them was a foreigner.

  Du Xiaobing and Big Ivan also entered the conference room.

  Su Xiaoshan went there early and chatted with Qiao Weiguo.

   Xu Man saw that Du Xiaobing had arrived, and entered the conference room with a pen and a notebook. During working hours in the company, she would not mess around, she just went straight to where Du Xiaobing was sitting.

  Lao Du used to practice basketball professionally, and he is tall and strong.

   Xu Man is short and thin, and he is not as tall as Du Xiaobing who is sitting.

   But people always have dreams, just as men always have a goddess in their eyes, and women have their own prince charming in their hearts.

   Besides, this Prince Charming is really unusual.

  Xu Man pulled out his chair and sat beside Du Xiaobing without speaking.

  Song Na glanced at the two of them, looked away, and whispered to Qian Feng, Qian Feng was also doing the finances at the Wenxin Warehouse for the time being.

   Of course, she was paid for her work.

Lu Dong entered the conference room at this time, closed the door directly, came to sit at the front of the long conference table, boosted morale first, and tried to speak in Mandarin: "I have good news for everyone, this past weekend, Saturday and Sunday. For two consecutive days, the daily turnover of the company's catering stores has reached 200,000 yuan."

   There was a round of applause in the conference room. At present, Lu's Catering has two stores in Qingzhao County, three stores in University Town and three stores in Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, a total of eight stores.

  The average single-day turnover of a single store can reach 20,000 yuan, which is quite a remarkable achievement.

  Everyone had a smile on their faces, even the big Ivan, a foreigner, could not close his mouth.

  The investment at the beginning of the year, it is estimated that the dividends in the first year will not only return the invested money, but even more.

   Such a deal should not be too cost-effective.

   Big Ivan couldn't help but said: "Lu Dong, doing business with you is the most correct decision I made."

  Lu Dong was not polite to the humanoid nuclear bomb, and said: "Ivan, you have to be more careful about the company's work in the future."

   itself is a shareholder and has a high enough return. Big Ivan immediately responded: "No problem, when you need me, call me, I will be there immediately!"

  Du Xiaobing said: "Lu Dong, I am looking forward to the end of the year dividends to buy a car."

Lu Dong smiled: "The second good news, considering the company's development needs, I'm going to buy a second car." He usually drives Quannan in the first car, and it is very inconvenient to use the car for anything here: "Lao Du , can you find your classmate and buy another Santana?"

  Du Xiaobing knew that it was unrealistic for the company to buy luxury cars at this stage, so he replied, "It's up to me."

Lu Dong opened the folder and went to the main topic: "Everyone should know the content of today's meeting, mainly to talk about the next step of the company's expansion. We are relatively lucky, the first step in entering the Quannan market is to stand firm. We have a foothold on the South Road Pedestrian Street, and we will definitely continue to open new stores after we have accumulated a little strength and the business has stabilized. Are you only satisfied with the current situation?"

Du Xiaobing watched the opening of Guangmei Electric Appliances and said, "How can our company become Guangmei Electric Appliances in the catering industry! We can't just develop in Qingzhao and Quannan, but we must rush out of Qingzhao to see the scenery outside. "

  Song Na was the first to agree: "Old Du said it well."

  Qiao Weiguo sat sternly without speaking.

   Big Ivan nodded frequently.

"I don't know if you have noticed that in Taidong Province, a province where the public economy occupies an absolute dominant position, private enterprises are ushering in unprecedented opportunities for development." Since March and April this year, Lu Dong has been accompanied and supervised by Song Na. Reading books and taking notes and going to the provincial university for classes, although I am a scumbag, my learning momentum is unprecedented. Not to mention other things, my theoretical level has improved somewhat.

He had something in his stomach, and he spoke with confidence: "Our efforts are the key to the success of the company's business, but it has little to do with market competition. Malatang, throughout Qingzhao Quannan, there is no similar Types of store competition; Burger King's products, we take the route of imitating KFC and McDonald's, the competitors are actually these two, but the market for Western-style fast food is bigger than imagined, let alone KFC and McDonald's, even if With two multinational chains of the same type, the market is still very promising.”

  Others have actually participated in the operation of Lu's Catering. If you think about it carefully, you will find that what Lu Dong said is not wrong.

   Lu Dong continued: "The only real competition is hot pot, and hot pot we focus on brand, hygiene, quality and service, which is what most hot pot restaurants lack at this stage."

   Big Ivan is a foodie with a remodeled stomach. He said, "When I was teaching at the Provincial Daliao Campus, I had eaten a lot of hot pot, and most of the restaurants were very greasy."

   Lu Dong said: "So, we have to seize this good opportunity and strive for the next two to three years, the company's catering stores can bloom all over Taidong Province, and even go out of Taidong and enter neighboring provinces."

   This big goal has been said for a long time and will not change.

   After re-emphasizing the long-term planning goals for a period, Lu Dong talked about the recent focus: "Our current work, one is to stabilize and continue to develop the operation of existing stores; the other is to prepare for opening new stores."

Song Na raised her hand and reminded me, "Secretary Zhao of the Management Committee informed me that they have reached an agreement with Ginza, and Ginza will soon open a commercial building and supermarket in the university town. This is the first supermarket in the university town. I think There will be a lot of traffic for quite a long time.”

Lv Dong said: "The market of university towns is far from saturated, and universities are still expanding their enrollment. There is definite news that the number of enrollment expansions next summer will be much larger than this year, and more technical secondary schools will merge into higher vocational schools in the future. Or colleges and universities will enter the university town, and the total number of students in the university town will continue to rise within two years. The university town market is our basic market, and we can occupy this market.”

He asked Song Na to help send the information he brought: "I have some relationship with Ginza. When the University City Ginza store is established, it will not be difficult for us to open a store close by. In addition, Quannan Ginza is also expanding the market. According to my understanding, In recent years, Ginza will build three stores in Yanshan, Bayi and Honglou. Our three stores can choose the appropriate type according to the actual needs of the local market and follow Ginza to open stores.”

   In this respect, Qian Rui's favor a few months ago was indeed a big deal.

Qian Rui's young Zhang Mingyu in Ginza not only helped the bagged products of Lujia Foods to successfully enter the supermarket, but Lu Dong also took advantage of the opportunity that the other party wanted to enter the university town to introduce the cooperation between the management committee and Ginza. , and further tightened the relationship between the two sides.

  There is such a high-level coordination in Ginza, and Lu's restaurant can also follow the footsteps of Ginza.

  Lu Dong got up and walked over to the whiteboard at the front of the conference room and wrote Ginza on it!

   Then, wrote RT-Mart.

   Through Yu Zhanlong and Qiansheng Commercial Building, Lv Dong also had contact with RT-Mart.

"RT-Mart's first store was built in the core of Quannan, and it is a neighbor to us." Lv Dong said in detail: "I have communicated with the person in charge of RT-Mart in Quan-nan, and RT-Mart will soon build a Lixia store, which is located in the division. On the west side of the Daluo Campus, there are dense residential areas on the west side, and on the east side are the old campuses of five or six universities that have not moved out. Within a few kilometers, there are six middle schools and primary schools, covering an extremely wide area.

   "RT-Mart will also build new stores in the Shilihe area in the south and the West Market in the west. This is also the focus of our next store opening."

  Du Xiaobing replied: "I went with Lu Dong to get in touch with RT-Mart. My family has business dealings with RT-Mart, so I will do the work here."

Lu Dong said: "Okay. Others like the railway station area, promising commercial streets and business districts, the newly opened college area, and residential areas are all areas that we will focus on when we open new stores. Lao Du and I have already Hire people to do pre-market research.”
