Chapter 90 (1/2)

At the end of March, Sun Tao finished his investigation in Fucheng and returned to Pingchuan.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Dong met Sun Tao, who had lost weight again.

Li Dong didn't say anything this time. He patted Sun Tao on the shoulder and poured a cup of tea for him.

Sun Tao was a little flattered. He got up quickly and said, ”Mr. Li, it's very kind.”

Li Dong laughed and didn't speak. They sat down and smoked a cigarette. After a while, Sun Tao said, ”there are six counties and two municipal districts in Fucheng. My opinion is to open seven stores for the time being, and one store in the urban area is enough.”

”Is there a lot of competition there?” Instead of following his words, Li Dong asked.

Sun Tao said: ”Fucheng is bigger than Qingyang, and its economy is developing faster than Qingyang. Naturally, the competition is fiercer than Qingyang. But the county is OK, in addition to a few small supermarkets, almost no large supermarkets settled in. ”

Li Dong was silent. It seems that the competition is still fierce.

In 2004, there were almost no supermarkets in Qingyang County, but now there are supermarkets in Fucheng county.

After pondering for a moment, Li Dong said, ”since brother sun has made an investigation, we should start construction as soon as possible. The speed of decoration should also be accelerated, and we should strive to open before July. ”

Sun Tao calculated for a moment that he was about to enter April. If he opened in July, he had only three months to prepare.

Three months, if the speed is fast enough.

After thinking about it, Sun Tao said again, ”in terms of personnel?”

”Let Qi Yunna go to Fucheng.”

”The manager of the downtown store?” Sun Tao tried.

Li Dong shook his head and said, ”regional manager.”

Sun Tao immediately frowned, from the county branch store manager directly to the regional manager, this span is a little big.

And there will be seven branches in Fucheng. Can Qi Yunna shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

Vaguely, Sun Tao feels that Li Dong doesn't only value Qi Yunna's ability, but more importantly, Qi Yunna is Li Dong's lineage.

To be honest, sometimes Sun Tao worries himself.

Now, in addition to Dongping and Nanhe, the other stores are almost all his people. Long Hua even he is directly in charge of them. If Li Dong doesn't mind at all, there is a ghost.

Thinking of this, Sun Tao did not raise any objection, nodded his head and said, ”that's OK, I'll inform you later.”

Li Dong nodded and said, ”let Guo Mingzhi go to Fucheng city to be a store manager.”

Sun Tao doesn't understand Li Dong's meaning. Guo Mingzhi is his old relationship.

Is it to restrict Qi Yunna or to appease herself when Guo Mingzhi becomes the store manager in the city?

Li Dong doesn't care what he thinks. After that, Guo Mingzhi doesn't talk about the personnel arrangement. Instead, he asks, ”has the budget been made?”

”It's about 12 million to 13 million.” Sun Tao put aside his wild thoughts and hurriedly returned to the way.

Li Dong kneaded his temple, a little irritable and said, ”it's higher than the previous estimate. The average investment of each store is more than 1.7 million.”

Sun Tao didn't say anything. The rising cost is certain. The rent is much higher than last year.

And now the labor is more expensive than last year, the money is more and more worthless.

In 2004, it was enough to open a store of the same size, about 1.5 million, and now it has risen by more than 10%.

Li Dong sighed. It's ok now.

In a few years' time, the rent will become the biggest one. I'm afraid the supermarket will make money for the landlord.

The most important reason why so many small supermarkets can not support in the future is that the cost is too high. On the one hand, it is the rent, on the other hand, it is labor.

The manual work is OK. Everyone is of the same standard.
