The Rebirth of Wealth

July 26th.

Sunan, Jinling.

The Xinjiekou commercial district is the largest department store in Jinling in the distance.

Li Dong inspected the top three department stores in southern Jiangsu, accompanied by Zhou Haidong, Minister of Supervision, Zhang Mingduo, President of East China, and Zhao Honggang, President of Sunan Branch.

On Saturday, there are many customers coming and going in the mall.

The manager of Xinjiekou Department Store led the crowd to the third floor.

Walking up the escalator, the mall manager said with emotion: "In Jinling, or Sunan, and even the whole country, the dispute over department stores in Xinjiekou business district is the most intense.

There are central shopping malls that have been in existence for more than 70 years, and in the 1990s, the Friendship Hualian Commercial Building with sales exceeding 900 million.

There is also Xinbai, once hailed as the head of China Department Store, where its single-store sales exceeded 1.3 billion in 2000.

Coupled with Oriental Mall of Xinbai Holdings, the business is also very good.

There were also later expansions of local and foreign departments, Suning, Ocean Department Store, Golden Eagle Mall, and Deji Plaza, which opened in the first phase in 2006.

At Xinjiekou, our distant mall can only be said to be modest.

This is related to our positioning, mainly low-end department stores, the other is that the place is not big.

Moreover, our main business is not a department store type, and there are certain gaps in management.

Taken together, our competitiveness here is still too weak. "

Li Dongwen nodded slightly, and the dispute of department stores in Xinjiekou was not only famous in southern Jiangsu, but also famous in the national retail circle.

Wal-Mart, Gome, Suning, a series of large retail groups, all want to come here to take a slice.

However, there are too many old-fashioned shopping malls, and they are mainly operated by department stores. It is difficult for a single store to survive.

Several large retail groups are not well-known here. The biggest ones are those department stores.

There is no breakthrough development in the distance here, but it is quite normal.

Seeing the chairman was not displeased, the store manager was slightly relieved, and continued: "In the first half of the performance statistics, our remote store is actually quite good, with sales exceeding 300 million."

In half a year, the sales exceeded 300 million, and the whole year will be at least 700 million, which is very good.

At least in the distant department store system, Xinjiekou shopping mall can enter the top three.

But Li Dong still asked: "How many others?"

"That ..." The store manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he was a little worried: "We and several other companies can't compare sales ..."

"I know."

Li Dong interrupted and waved: "They all belong to the comprehensive series, which is different from ours. You just say that, do you think I will be held accountable?"

The manager of the shopping mall smirked, and this is what he was afraid of.

Many people are a little afraid of their own chairman.

These department stores, such as the Central Mall, are actually different from the distant system, and they cannot be compared with sales alone.

But this kind of thing Li Dong has not done, he and Taobao are comparing this.

It stands to reason that Taobao's B2C-based electronic mall should not be compared with the distance, but Li Dongbian wants to do this, who can say anything.

Don't look at the far away department store sales in the first half of the year broke 300 million, in fact, in Xinjiekou is really nothing.

Since Li Dong said that he would not be held accountable, the manager was not so worried. He continued: "Over the central shopping mall, the financial report for the first half of the year was announced. As of June 30, revenue was 2.2 billion.

Golden Eagle Shopping Mall is 1.6 billion, and New Baidu has revenue of 900 million in the first half ... "

The manager said several times in a row, the worst Ocean Department Store, revenue reached 500 million in the first half of the year.

There is money to visit Deji, but no money to go to the ocean.

From this point of view, Ocean is only a representative of the low-end, and even Ocean has 500 million. It can be seen how hot the business is in Xinjiekou.

The investment in the shopping malls in Xinjiekou in the distance is not low, and the rents are astronomical for most people.

Three hundred million in half a year, it looks good, in fact, compared with other shopping malls, it is just like that.

After listening to what the manager said, Li Dong touched his chin and said: "So, we are at the Xinjiekou, and we are only in the top ten, can't even enter the top five?"

The manager smiled bitterly, for sure.

Not to mention the top five, the top ten are all hanging, but it should be similar.

In short, he is still under great pressure to be a manager at Xinjiekou.

Now he is afraid that Li Dong does not understand the market and feels that his performance is poor.

So from the beginning, he explained that the competition is fierce here, and he first talked about his own turnover, giving Li Dong a preconceived idea.

Otherwise, if you report the income of others first, and then report your own, this kind of difference will definitely make Li Dong dissatisfied.

This is also a treasure in the shopping mall, even psychology is used.

Seeing his expression, Li Dong knew that he was right and said, "What about the profit?"

Speaking of profits, the manager was relieved and quickly said: "We are different from others. We are mainly self-employed and not attracting much investment.

Net profit can reach about 10%.

In the first half of the year, our net profit exceeded 30 million. "

"not bad."

Li Dong boasted that the average profit of distant supermarkets is about 8%, and the profit of department stores is actually lower, mainly labor and rent.

It can reach 10%, which is very high in the same type of shopping mall.

Li Dong did not ask these questions again, but began to inspect the shop.

As for the specific revenue and profit, there will be a special person to check these two days. Li Dong mainly understands the general idea.

In fact, before he came, he also read the report, but only his own, the shopping mall side will not be idle to report the performance of others, it is not a face.

After walking around the Yuanfang shopping mall, Li Dong and everyone went downstairs together.

The Yuanfang Shopping Mall is not far from the Central Shopping Mall. The two sides are separated by a street, which is also close to the Ocean Department Store.

When Li Dong came downstairs, a group of people came out from the front of the Central Mall just opposite.

Although it was a little far apart, Li Dong had good eyesight, and at a glance recognized who was opposite.

Zhu Yicai!

Unexpectedly, he would meet him today. Li Dong smiled and nodded toward the opposite side.

The opposite Zhu Yicai responded dryly. Before Li Dong saw him, he saw Li Dong.

Li Dong was about to visit Sunan, and he also received news.

I didn't expect that it would be today, and it was just to inspect the Xinjiekou store.

The reason why Zhu Yicai appears here is similar to Li Dong ’s purpose.

The central shopping mall is actually a shopping mall held by Zhu Yicai. For the central shopping mall, Zhu Yicai is even more important than Yurun.

A large department store with an annual sales of more than 4 billion yuan has a stable source of funds and a fast recovery rate. It is also an old-style shopping mall.

Originally thought that after withdrawing from Jiangbei, he had no contact with Li Dong.

Unexpectedly, this guy just went against himself and opened a mall opposite himself.

Zhu Yicai secretly scorned: "Whatever it is, I really think that the whole country must be around you!"

The far-end shopping mall is on the Xinjiekou side, and its reputation is not obvious, and its sales are only one-seventh of the central shopping mall. Of course, Zhu Yicai cannot look down on the opposite side.

In his view, Li Dong was deliberately disgusting himself.

Xinjiekou said big or small, small or small, why can't you open a shopping mall, but just across from yourself, is it just looking for faults?

Although the overall strength is not as good as that in the distance, it is not too easy to hang Li Dong at Xinjiekou.

I was very proud of myself, and Zhu Yicai was not so stupid as to say it, so that his face was completely torn.

His relationship with Li Dong was not good. Before that, he was put together by Li Dong. In the end, it was the gecko who broke the tail and gave up his business in Jiangbei before getting off.

Now I will face Li Dong again, the guy opposite is a lunatic, don't stare at yourself again.

Seeing that Li Dong was still looking at himself, Zhu Yicai was a little awkward, barely laughed a few times, and then gestured to Li Dong and got into the car directly.

The high-ranking shopping malls behind him and Yurun seniors felt a bit shameful.

The chairman does not usually like this, and today he has some misbehavior.

Everyone slandered in my heart, I'm afraid I was really scared by Li Dong.

However, defamation is defamation, Yurun's people are really a bit stunned Li Dong.

Normally, the central shopping mall often runs far away from the opposite side. It didn't matter if Li Dong didn't come before. Now that Li Dong is here, they are really afraid that Li Dong will find fault.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, plus the loss on Li Dong, the shadow in my heart.

Even if it is clear that the interests of the central shopping mall cannot be touched in the distance, no one wants to fight him.

Several senior executives retreated when they saw the chairman, who dare to say anything and got on the bus one after another.

...

In front of the mall far away.

Li Donggang was ready to reach out, but when he saw Zhu Yicai, he ran straight away. Some accused him: "This guy is too proud, so I said hello and didn't let him treat guests to dinner. Do I need to run so fast?"

Several people in Zhou Haidong's face were tensed, afraid of laughing.

Zhu Yicai was in Jiangbei, and was tossed by Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe. He was almost thrown away from Jiangbei after throwing his helmet away.

Now that I met in Sunan, it is good not to yell at you. You still want to invite people to dinner.

When few people said nothing, Li Dong shook his head and said, "This guy is also the richest man in Sunan, and the name Bai Bai is famous ..."

Zhao Honggang, president of the Provincial Branch, said weakly: "Now Mr. Zhang of Suning is the richest man, Mr. Shi of Shangde is second, and Mr. Zhu is only third."

Li Dong glanced at him without a word, and went straight into the car.

Until Li Dong got on the train, Zhao Hong reacted just now, and he was greatly annoyed. Wasn't he finding himself uncomfortable?

What the chairman said, just listen to yourself, you have to say more.

...

In the car.

Regardless of whether his followers did not keep up, Li Dong told Zhou Haidong: "In the southern part of Jiangsu, the investment in the distance is not less than 10 billion yuan, which is the top priority.

Although this year's performance has not declined, relatively speaking, it has not increased much.

It stands to reason that in the 2008 financial crisis, the business of luxury goods and high-end shopping malls may be affected to some extent.

But for us, low-end and middle-end department stores, there should be a certain increase.

No matter how difficult life is, it is always necessary to eat and dress, but the performance of Sunan in the first half of this year has not risen, and it is the same as the second half of last year. This should not be the case. "

Zhou Haidong nodded and said: "This is not only your attention, President Li, the group has been paying attention.

Not only the Supervision Department, Mr. Yuan also personally came to Sunan to hold a symposium before, and Mr. Sun also visited several times.

The major problems were not detected for the time being, but the major problems were too many.

Previously acquired regular customers Long and Yongle, and received some Su Guo stores, which led to our chaotic system on Sunan side.

In the first half of this year, there were several incidents in which the store manager took a collective job with his employees. "

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingduo, who was sitting on the other side, quickly explained: "Mr. Li, there is a job change, but there are reasons for it.

Those stores have overlapping coverage and resources are wasted, and we are preparing to close them.

As a result, several shopkeepers got the news that they thought we gave up on them, so we quit and quit. We have calmed down afterward. "

Li Dong frowned: "You have to be vigilant in this matter. First, why did your regional decision leak out in advance?

Second, the communication from top to bottom was not smooth. They knew that they had just entered the remote system, and the people were panicked.

Third, leave the office with anger. The word ‘angry’ is enough to explain a lot of things.

The treatment from afar is not bad. Compared to the same period last year, we are pretty good. Why are we angry?

On the south of Jiangsu, close to Jiangbei, I do n’t think you dare to commit serious problems.

But minor problems are constant!

Ups and downs of personnel, weak sense of belonging of employees, and insufficient promotion of corporate culture.

In the previous M & A era, I saw it once, and the results were not bad, and the staff was dedicated.

Now, although I haven't seen it, I have heard many people say it.

The quality of services on the Sunan side has plummeted, employees are impatient, and the management is vain.

In recent years, I am afraid that it is the last golden stage of physical retailing, and whose performance is not increasing.

Sunan did well, integrating the resources of several companies, but his performance remained the same. Who fool it! "

Zhang Mingduo's face was pale and he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Dong continued: "You are the president of East China, and you have to take care of it! The Shanghai market is not handed over to you because the Shanghai market has just been developed and requires more energy.

Mr. Chen is now over there. Sooner or later, he will return to the headquarters. At that time, the management of East China will still belong to East China.

Don't always think about this and do some actual results.

I really want to have achievements, and I do n’t treat anyone wrong.

Counting on the instinct of fighting, it won't work here with me! "

Li Dong's radish and stick ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ makes Zhang Mingduo feel the same.

Sooner or later, the Shanghai market will be handed over to East China. This is the radish.

Zhang Mingduo changed his face for a while, and then whispered after a while: "Li, I understand."

"Just understand, understand, and then cooperate with the audit team to do a good job, don't set up obstacles.

I am here, and you can tell me directly if you have any questions.

The same is true for me. Do n’t think that Sunan has a large investment and complex personnel, so I dare not move!

Anxious to me, Sunan I directly across the board, hundreds of billions of losses, I can afford! "

Li Dong said lightly, and then ignored a few people and closed his eyes.

Others are silent. If others say this, they dare not believe it. Li Dong said it, but dare not believe it.
