Chapter Thirty-Seven: Supermarket Acquisition Officially Launched
In Lai Yiming's office.
"How is it, Lao Zhao, what do you think of these locations?" Lai Yiming asked while drinking hot tea.
"Mr. Lai, is it still too late for me to quit now?" Zhao Tai looked at the information in his hand, looking melancholy.
"Cough...cough..."
In order to relieve the embarrassment, Lai Yiming pretended to choke, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the smirk.
All of you tricked you into the pirate ship, but you can still run away?
And judging from this reaction, this wave is stable!
In the eyes of others, the general manager of a game company is not very reliable!
But in his eyes, it is very reliable.
"How did you think about it?" Lai Yiming asked.
"Mr. Lai, you know me. I have always been in the game industry and know nothing about supermarkets. I am afraid that I will not be able to do this job!" Zhao Tai said bluntly.
Lai Yiming nodded, "I know."
Zhao Tai was stunned and then was overjoyed: "That's good to say, Mr. Lai, you'd better transfer me back. Even if I'm going to help Lao Ma!"
"What to do?" Lai Yiming asked.
"I ask you how you are considering these investable supermarket projects? Have you decided which company to invest in?"
Zhao Tai was stunned and thought that he had been talking for a long time, but it was useless.
Zhao Tai, who was about to cry, could only follow Lai Yiming and said, "Mr. Lai, I have seen the three projects you chose."
"The first project is located in the suburbs of the city. Although it is remote, it is large in size and has too few customers around it. However, I checked the information later. It is planned for urban schools and has good development prospects, but it is limited to the future."
"The second project is located in the center of the city, but the surrounding large chain supermarkets are constantly competing, and the body is also good, but the staff structure is bloated, but there are also advantages."
"The third project is the best here. Although the place is not good or bad, the surrounding logistics is convenient, the surrounding residents are very dependent on it, and the turnover is also good, but the size is too small and the potential for later development is weak."
"Then which project do you think can make a quick profit in a short period of time?" Lai Yiming asked.
"About this, if I were asked to choose, I would choose 1 or 3 or 2, and it was not within my choice!" Zhao Tai said.
Oh, won't this result?
"Tell me specifically, why not choose 2?" Lai Yiming poured a cup of tea for Zhao Tai and continued to ask.
Zhao Tai respectfully took the teacup handed over by Lai Yiming and analyzed carefully.
"It's very simple because of the location. Although its location is very good, there are three surrounding schools and many old campuses with sufficient customers, but the turnover is only low but not high. Why is the reason?"
"Because it is around Dawan, a giant chain supermarket in the country, and although it has a source of customers, it cannot be kept!"
"Also, the long-term loose management, the decline in reputation, and the sluggish performance have formed a vicious cycle, which has stimulated a series of chain vicious reactions, and eventually lost the recognition of customers, that is, the people's hearts!"
Lai Yiming nodded suddenly: "It's OK!"
"So, is there a solution in the short term?"
Lai Yiming was a little worried. Zhao Tai was talking very well here. If there was any solution, wouldn’t it be over?
Zhao Tai shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Lai, you look down on me too highly. This is a vicious cycle, and it is a drop of water and stones. Besides, how can the corporate brand recover as it has been in the past overnight?"
I was a little worried at first, but when I heard that Zhao Tai was like this, Lai Yiming suddenly felt much more relieved.
After all, he also knows that supermarkets are different from game companies. They are supported by the Internet. What supermarkets often require long-term operations and cannot be popular overnight.
Moreover, chain supermarket companies and non-chain supermarket companies are like the difference between supermarkets and small shops, just like the difference between clouds and clouds.
Chain supermarkets have rich experience in competition among supermarkets in various places, and marketing methods for attracting customers are emerging one after another. Instead, supermarkets with a chain nature tend to save labor, seek cheapness and eat leftovers.
That is to attract low-end customers that chain supermarkets cannot afford to consume.
Simply put, it means that you can't beat the other party and you can ask for something under the pressure of the other party.
Looking at the No. 2 supermarket chosen by Zhao Tai, recalling the Chen Cuicui he met during a blind date before, Lai Yiming felt very at ease at this moment.
Sure enough, you can’t rely on your teammates to lose money, but also on your opponents!
Think about the opponent you won’t take advantage of a cup of coffee, and it will definitely become a booster on your way to lose money!
Thinking about Zhao Tai's depressed expression just now, Lai Yiming couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
Poor children not only have to face such exquisite and capable opponents, but also face their own insidious teammate.
Stains...
When he thought of the scene where Zhao Tai was inserted into the front by the enemy and himself inserted into the back by the enemy.
It's simply!
World famous paintings!
When looking at Zhao Tai again, Lai Yiming showed a satisfied and sympathetic smile.
Lao Zhao, go with peace of mind, I will compensate you!
"That's it, I'll invest in project No. 2!"
"By the way, when talking to others, try to give higher prices. This kind of project can cause too much damage. If you give more money, people won't cheat you, and you will save more money in the future?"
Lai Yiming fooled.
Zhao Tai was stunned and said in disbelief: "Mr. Lai, have you heard it wrong... What I just said is that it is least recommended to apply for a second project..."
Lai Yiming smiled slightly: "No, you heard it right, it's the second project you said that you are the least recommended to apply for! People cannot just pick cords. Sometimes they can only jump out of the comfort zone to make themselves stronger!"
Zhao Tai was shocked and instantly realized that Lai was always guiding him.
Yes, the three projects are really not good ones, they are all difficult to crack. Mr. Lai will not know until he analyzes them for himself.
But I still give myself a choice, why?
There is only one reason, that is, it is implying that you jumped from the game circle into the supermarket circle, just like jumping out of the comfort circle.
Only by truly facing difficulties and enduring hardships for your dreams can you truly stimulate your potential!
At this moment, Zhao Tai made up his mind: "Okay! Mr. Lai, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations and make this company prosperous!"
"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and be careful not to be covered by the immediate interests and change the company in time, but also remember our Xunhong Games motto and treat employees as the owner of the company. Money is just something outside of it. Do you understand?" Lai Yiming woke up.
"I understand, Mr. Lai, I will never forget the first lesson you gave me!" Zhao Tai drank all the cup of tea, put it down and said, "I'll talk about the acquisition now!"
Well, Mr. Lai is very satisfied with Zhao Tai's attitude.
Now, the new project establishment plan for the game company has been processed, and the initial acquisition plan for the supermarket has basically been solved.
All that is left is to spend money hard.
Chapter completed!
