Therefore, Feng Yiping\'s best option was to say nothing, just smile at her.
Huang Jingping pretended to be busy packing up, but she couldn\'t resist Feng Yiping\'s constant smiling and just had to laugh. Then she took Feng Yiping\'s hand and said coquettishly, \'Am I being petty?\'
Once she said that, the initiative returned to Feng Yiping\'s hands. Whether he joked with her about being petty or sincerely told her that she wasn\'t, she wouldn\'t get angry.
Feng Yiping decided to joke around, \'Exactly, you told me to go meet your classmates, and then you accused me afterwards. I feel like I\'m being framed.\'
Things at the tool factory were going quite well. The main reason was that everyone from the mayor to the deputy mayor to the leaders of the Light Industry Bureau and the factory took the matter seriously. The workers at the factory, seeing that the old factory around them, which had previously been quite profitable, was unable to even pay their wages, also felt the pressure. This pressure, once directed, became motivation. With pressure from above and motivation from below, such things were not too laborious to do.
Wang Zhiqiang had specifically instructed Zheng Lezhi to keep Mayor Fang informed, so whenever he had a moment, he would rush over to his aunt and uncle\'s house. Today was Sunday, so he was in no hurry.
Although it was officially a weekend, for someone in Mayor Fang\'s position, that was not really possible. Yesterday, he had been at work almost the whole day, but today was better, as he had been at home all morning.
She found it amusing to see her nephew rushing around, as if he had suddenly turned into a different person since starting work.
\'Come, don\'t pretend to be busy, come and sit down, I just want to ask you something.\'
Zheng Lezhi put down the rag and said, \'What is it, auntie?\'
\'Tell me about your company,\'
This is the most basic quality of a salesperson. Zheng Lezhi then talked about the company\'s present and future, and talked about the social significance of the products, elevating the company\'s software to the level of promoting social development and progress.
\'Haha, only you believe in this. Okay, I know this, tell me about that convenience store.\'
\'Convenience stores, the emphasis is on the word convenience. The company believes that no matter what time it is, convenience stores are always the most critical and important link in retail and the last mile for users. There is great potential for development, and there are currently no influential brands in the country. The main competition is with those scattered traditional kiosks, which is a rare window of development.
The company plans to expand to 50 stores in the provincial capital in the second half of the year, and roll out to all prefecture-level cities in the province in the first half of next year, while also expanding outside the province. It plans to achieve coverage in large and medium-sized cities across the country within the next three to five years. At the same time, overseas expansion has also been planned in the early stages.
To be honest, Mayor Fang was quite unimpressed by his words. No matter what he said, it was just a small shop, so what future could it have? If it could open up stores like the hypermarkets she saw during her inspection trip to the coast, then it would have a future. Those were the kinds of stores that would be built, with thousands of square metres of warehouse-style supermarkets, and they were the kind of stores that people everywhere would be happy to introduce.
Zheng Lezhi obviously sensed his aunt\'s disapproval and became a little agitated. During the training, they were deeply impressed by the prospects depicted by the training teacher from the human resources department. \'Auntie, just think about it. If the scale reaches 10,000 stores, with a daily turnover of 1,000 yuan per store, what is the concept?\'
This is not exaggerating. Just take the two domestic oil companies. Later, the convenience stores under their respective banners reached as many as 20,000 to 30,000 in scale, and became a powerful tool for balancing the losses in the oil business.
\'That\'s 4 or 5 billion?\' Mayor Fang gasped. You have to know that last year\'s statistics showed that the city\'s GDP last year was less than 8 billion.
\'And that\'s a very conservative estimate. Just the city\'s ten stores, the average sales per store are currently more than 1,000. With economic growth, sales will definitely increase year-on-year. Moreover, the company plans to have more and more businesses in the future, such as the introduction of ticketing, postal services, photocopying, and the collection of public utility fees such as water and electricity. It\'s not difficult for the average sales per store to reach 2,000 to 3,000.\'
That would be tens of billions of yuan!
\'Moreover, after the store has grown in size, it will also have a significant impact on the industrial and agricultural sectors. We can set up our own factories and produce our own brand of goods, such as the deep processing of various agricultural specialty products. In this way, it is very simple to support the emergence of several manufacturers with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan.\' Zheng Lezhi lightly floated in the air and gave his aunt a preview of the future.
This is even more attractive than those billions of dollars. Those billions of dollars have little to do with the city, but this one can be retained in the city. You have to know that there is not a single enterprise in the city with an output value of over 100 million yuan. Even an enterprise with an annual output value of over 10 million yuan is worth the mayor going to cut the ribbon herself.
Zheng Lezhi had originally fooled his aunt quite well, and even made her impression of the company change greatly. Who knew that a few days later, things took a turn for the worse.
Mayor Fang called him over after work one day, \'I went to a store yesterday and had a look, it wasn\'t bad!\' She paused for a moment.
\'At the same time, I found that shelves are essential hardware in every store. Isn\'t your company going to develop the convenience store sector vigorously? The demand for shelves in the future will definitely be very high. So instead of buying them from outside, it\'s better to produce them yourself. It so happens that the aluminium products factory in the city has decided to restructure, and there is no problem at all producing similar metal shelves. You should discuss this with your company and see if they can get involved.\'
Liu, the director of the aluminium products factory, was quickly placed under double regulation after the discipline inspection commission intervened in the investigation. The problems that were revealed afterwards were shocking, including senior party officials, the chairman of the trade union, and a deputy factory manager, all of whom were implicated, which was equivalent to the complete annihilation of the party committee of the aluminium products factory.
You have to know that a few years ago, the aluminium products factory was a very profitable enterprise in the city. Now it seems that apart from market reasons, these parasites are also to blame for its decline.
The original leadership team had also approached some cooperation intentions. For example, the original fat man Liu had been in contact with a Wenzhou businessman. After the city let it be known, that Wenzhou company immediately sent someone over, but the conditions they proposed were very harsh, equivalent to giving it away for free. They also only promised to arrange for some of the workers, and at the same time, they also asked the city to arrange financing for them. The representative of the Light Industry Bureau was so angry that he slammed the table.
However, the problem had to be solved, as every month of delay would mean another month of burden for the city. It was estimated that the Wenzhou enterprise had also seen this point, so at least it had to find a competitor for the city, so that the city would not be in a passive position during negotiations.
Zheng Lezhi felt a little overwhelmed. How had a good thing suddenly turned into participation in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises?
