When the boss is in a good mood, the employees will also be in a good mood.
During the meeting, Sun Tao and Shen Qian were happy to see Li Dong grinning from ear to ear.
Indeed, it is not easy to be praised by that person.
There are so many enterprises in the country, but how many of them can be praised by that person?
But Shen Qian still reminded them. "Now is not the time to be happy. Since we are being targeted, we must do our best. Otherwise, good things will turn bad. "
Since the higher-ups know about this, the provincial government and even the higher-ups will pay attention to it.
Far away might be able to get some benefits after the snow ends and become a model enterprise.
Since that is the case, they must not end poorly.
The smile on Li Dong's face faded and he nodded. "Indeed. This is what I want to talk to you about."
"When I went to Longhua just now, there was a long queue at Longhua …"
Li Dong briefly explained the situation and continued. "The situation is a little complicated now. If we do not raise the prices, people will continue to shop here.
So, we are facing two problems.
First, we do not have enough inventory.
The roads will be blocked by the heavy snow for a while. When our warehouses are empty, what should we do next?
Far Away's employees are only humans, not gods. When the time comes, they will not risk their lives for the company.
Second, if we do not raise the prices, the supermarkets will be congested. This is a hidden danger.
Once there is a fire or a stampede, we will not be able to hide it.
By then, no matter how much credit we have, we will still be in trouble. "
Sun Tao and Shen Qian nodded. This is indeed an unsolvable problem.
It is easy to solve these two problems. We just have to raise the prices.
We will raise the prices according to how much others raise the prices.
By then, everyone will be of the same standard, and the old people will not be queuing up to buy. Anyway, the prices will be the same, and it does not matter where they go.
However, it was impossible to raise the price. It would have been fine if that person didn't know about it, but now that he knew, he would be slapped in the face if he raised the price.
Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Li Dong continued, "Just now, the manager of Longhua, Liu Jianping, mentioned an idea. Let me tell you."
Li Dong repeated Liu Jianping's words. Sun Tao pondered for a moment and said, "That's feasible. We can deliver the goods around the store. Our logistics can still meet the demand. Far away, many of the distribution points are around our store. At that time, if they couldn't carry out inter-city transportation, they could transfer to the city. Even if the snow was a little heavier, it wouldn't be a problem. There's another advantage to this. Our logistics don't have to stop working. Otherwise, the logistics side will suffer a huge loss once the transportation is stopped. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qian frowned and said, "Director Sun, I'm not refuting you. I just want to say something. In this way, the logistics department's attention will be diverted to the supermarket.
What about the shopping mall?
Our logistics system isn't strong enough to sustain the operations of two companies in this harsh weather.
Now that the supermarket is diverted, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it in three days.
If that's the case, our early hype will all become a joke. At that time, there's no need for Taobao to make a move. We will collapse on our own.
I'm not afraid that you can't do it. I'm afraid that you can't do it. This will cause reverse psychology among consumers. "
Sun Tao shook his head and said, "Director Shen, we can't let this matter go like this. There can't be any problems with the supermarket now. Just now, General Manager Li also said that the higher-ups are paying attention. On the shopping mall, we still have the support of Santong. We won't collapse so quickly … "
"Santong isn't our own company. They won't risk their lives for us …"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing because of this matter, Li Dong was a little angry and said, "Shut up! Now we're looking for you to think of a solution, not to undermine each other! We have to run the supermarket and manage the shopping mall. Don't think about those useless things now. The only thing you have to consider is how to have the best of both worlds! "
Shen Qian glared at him. Sun Tao was also a little helpless.
It was easy to say. Far away logistics was on such a large scale. How could they have the best of both worlds?
Both sides definitely had to have a focus. It was either the supermarket or the shopping mall.
If it was during normal times, it would be fine. They could entrust it to other logistics companies …
Thinking of this, Sun Tao's eyes suddenly lit up. "General Manager Li, I'm afraid we're thinking about the wrong thing.
Because the shopping mall involves cross-regional transportation, it's a little troublesome. Outsourcing logistics is unreliable.
However, it doesn't have to be Far away logistics to deliver goods to the doorstep of the same city.
There are many logistics companies now, and they're very developed.
SF Express and Yunda have recently stopped shipping. They're worried that they won't have enough manpower to do nothing.
If we outsource the supermarket delivery to them at this time, I'm afraid they'll be more than happy.
Anyway, it's regional delivery. They're better than us at this point. "
Li Dong laughed when he heard that. "Yes, I forgot about this. Also, there's another advantage. We can continue to reduce the logistics channels of Taobao's e-commerce companies. In the future, when SF Express and the rest taste the sweetness, I'm afraid they'll give us some of their channels. Even if they expand, it won't be that fast. At this time, Taobao has already lost a lot of their channels to us. If we cut off some of their channels in the city, it will only be more difficult for them. CEO Sun's suggestion is good! "
Li Dong continued. "But even so, the snow is too heavy. Our supply channels are still a problem. How can we solve this?"
The few of them lowered their heads and began to think hard.
Previously, Sun Tao took the lead. Shen Qian did not want to be outdone.
After thinking for a while, she said, "This is actually not difficult!"
"Not difficult?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. "How is it not difficult?"
"Previously, we've been traveling by land. It's troublesome to ship in this kind of weather. Also, shipping is too small. But don't forget, there's still shipping!
Although the snow this time is not light, the Yangtze River is not closed. All places are trying their best to keep it open.
We have a natural advantage. Don't you have a good relationship with Haifeng's CEO Yang?
At this time, you can ask CEO Yang for help. Both sides can cooperate. We can open up a shipping route from Shanghai to the sea.
Also, shipping can carry a lot of cargo. Other than the slow speed, everything else is good.
The slow speed is not a big problem. Our initial reserves can last for 8 to 10 days. "
Li Dong frowned. "The Yangtze River and the sea are different. Can Haifeng do it?"
"Absolutely!"
Shen Qian said seriously. "Also, who said Haifeng only does shipping? They also have ships on the Yangtze River.
Even without Haifeng, we can try contacting other companies. I'm afraid other companies are also trying to contact the Yangtze River.
It's better to be early than late. We must be the first to do it.
The other supermarkets do not have as many reserves as us. Maybe they will run out of stock before the Yangtze River arrives. This is also our opportunity.
As for e-commerce, it doesn't matter.
They are self-employed, and their goods are in small batches. It's not realistic for them to transport the goods by sea, right? "
Li Dong's eyes brighten up. He nodded and smiled. "As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. Seems like we still need to discuss with everyone in the future. Let's do as you say."
Li Dong's face turned serious. "From now on, your supermarkets and shopping malls will form a joint team to handle this matter.
The main purpose of this team is to solve the problems I mentioned earlier.
This is also the first time we are trying a two-way battle. Online and offline, offline and online. Only when both sides are benefiting will it be the best combination.
It must be fast. It's fine if it's rough, but it must be fast.
Later, transfer Liu Jianping over to be the assistant of this temporary team. He still has some ideas, and I know he did not finish his words.
All in all, this snow is our opportunity!
If we seize this opportunity, not only will we complete the O2O project, but we will also be able to suppress Taobao in East China.
Oh, let the logistics department participate. This time, we will try to cooperate with the three departments.
So far away from the four major supply chains, in my opinion, will eventually become one main line.
If we manage to do this, it means we are not far from success. "
Shen Qian and Sun Tao nodded heavily. Time was of the essence, so they didn't bother to continue the small talk and quickly went to work.
… …
As soon as they left, Li Dong hurriedly called Yang Shaopeng.
Li Dong explained the situation to Yang Shaopeng and asked nervously. "Brother Yang, do you think this is feasible?"
"It's feasible!"
Yang Shaopeng laughed and said, "Finally, there's a time for you to beg me! I thought you, Li Dong, are omnipotent and can settle everything by yourself. Also, you don't need to transport it from Shanghai. Isn't your biggest supplier Tengxiang? Tengxiang is in Beijing, and we can transport it directly from Beijing to Pingchuan! "
"Really?"
Li Dong was overjoyed. This way, his logistics costs will be reduced.
Yang Shaopeng said seriously, "Absolutely. Don't forget, Jinmen has been a shipping route since ancient times. Back then, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces used this route to fight their way to Beijing!"
"Ahem, Brother Yang, I failed history. Don't tell me this. Just make sure you can do it. Also, what I want is not just Pingchuan. I want the entire East China! If, I say if, I hand the entire East China to you, can you help me? "
"It's the same. East China has developed waters, and every province has shipping routes. But let me say this in advance. I can only transport it to the provinces' shipping routes. I can't do it to other inland cities. You can either transport it to other places through the cities with shipping routes, or you have to think of a way yourself. "
"Understood. Actually, this is beyond my expectations. Brother Yang, I really have to thank you this time."
"Hahaha, don't be polite with me. We are friends. If you really want to thank me, drink with me at the gathering. "
"Definitely!"
Li Dong laughed and hung up the phone. He once again felt how important it was to attend the Business School's training course.
Lan Xingguo, Wu Yajun, Yang Shaopeng … Li Dong knew these people from his class.
Lan Xingguo had entered Sichuan Airlines.
Wu Yajun had taken over Shancheng's retail market.
Yang Shaopeng had thought that Yang Shaopeng was useless. Even if they were to cooperate, it would be after Far Away Mall enters the country.
Who would have thought that Yang Shaopeng would help him solve this urgent problem?
As long as the goods reach the province, it will be easy.
It might still be difficult to transport goods across cities, but it is definitely not as difficult as transporting goods across provinces or even several provinces.
Even the heavens are helping him with this snowstorm.
With so many advantages, if Li Dong still cannot defeat Taobao's advantage in East China, then he is stupid.
Other than Taobao, maybe even the supermarkets will have the upper hand.
The supermarkets in East China are mainly Far Away and Huarun Resources.
Huarun Resources has channels, so Li Dong is not ready to get rid of them.
But other supermarkets are different. They have little investment in East China, and they are already at a disadvantage. This time, the disadvantage is even greater.
Should I cooperate with Huarun Resources to clear the market first?
After getting rid of the other supermarkets, I and Huarun Resources will divide the East China market?
Thinking of this, Li Dong's heart was itching again.
A month of heavy snow, I may really be able to reverse all the disadvantages in the past.
Others are suffering, and I am developing quickly. Is it not good?
Thinking of this, Li Dong quickly stopped smiling and murmured, "The snow should stop quickly."
Although he said this, Li Dong secretly added that it will be fine even if it snows for a few more days.
This time is not like the earthquake. The snowstorm mainly causes economic losses. As for the human losses, it is really not much, even less than a car accident. Li Dong does not feel guilty.
As for the economic losses, this is inevitable.
He couldn't give up this opportunity just because someone else suffered a loss, right?
… …
While Li Dong was praying, someone was also praying.
Longhua Building.
Hsu Shengzhe looked out of the window and murmured, "Let's continue. Let's continue for a few more days."
Knock, knock, knock!
Hsu Shengzhe calmed himself down and said, "Come in!"
"Second Brother … Ahem … Chairman."
Xu Rulong was not used to greeting him. Hsu Shengzhe quickly smiled and said, "Big Brother, there are no outsiders here. Don't call me Chairman. It is too distant. Just call me Second Brother."
"Ahem … Business is business, and personal is personal. How can it be the same?" Xu Rulong quickly said.
Hsu Shengzhe's eyes are gloomy. Big Brother, if you are really careless, I will not force you.
But the more you are like this, the more worried I am.
If you barge into my office, cross your legs, and call me Second Brother, I will treat you like a playboy.
But you still want to maintain your image. Don't you know that you are making me more determined?
Xu Rulong doesn't know what Hsu Shengzhe is thinking. He straightened his face and said, "Chairman, the snow is too heavy these few days. All our construction sites in the New Town have stopped. If we stop now, our losses will be huge. Not only the New Town, but almost all the construction sites have stopped. We will not have any funds in the short term. I went to the Finance Department yesterday, and there is not a single cent in our accounts. A district in South Bay is about to open for business. But the financial crisis, the market is low, and it is snowing heavily. There is no way to sell the property, and we cannot open for business. There is no money in our accounts. But in a few days, we will have 2.2 billion RMB due. We will be in trouble when that happens. "
Hsu Shengzhe is furious. Is the Finance Department a place where you can go and check?
How can you know that the accounts are due?
These fellows from Dragon Flower Sect, there are quite a number of traitors!
I, Hsu Shengzhe, am the Chairman. Isn't it too early for you all to suck up to me?!
Hsu Shengzhe suppressed his anger and smiled. "Big Brother, it doesn't matter. I have talked to the bank, and they will delay the payment for some time. "
"Is that so? For how long? "
"About three months. Anyway, it's fine. Otherwise, I will not dare to acquire Yurun's assets."
Xu Rulong didn't think too much about it. He was relieved. "That's good. I am afraid you will be careless."
Xu Rulong didn't think too much about it. After all, Longhua is still under Hsu Shengzhe's control.
At this time, Hsu Shengzhe will not destroy Longhua. If he does, he will also suffer heavy losses.
But sometimes, it doesn't mean it will not happen.
After Xu Rulong left, Hsu Shengzhe's face turned gloomy. He sneered. "Big Brother, you can't blame me. It is you and the old man who pushed us too hard!"
I have done so much for Longhua. Why do I have to share it with this guy in the end?
Xu Shengzhe looked at the snowflakes outside the window again and exhaled. It was time!
If the snow continues, Longhua's properties will not open for business, and the funds will not be able to return. Even God is helping me. What else do I have to worry about?!
