Chapter 660 Price increase? Price reduction?
Ning Weimin and Kang Shude were chatting in the Shilin, but no one heard it except the two of them.
Although Ning Weimin did learn a lot from the old man, it was a great gain for him personally.
This even gave rise to higher business goals and a new business plan.
But I still have to say that this is a very regrettable thing.
Because these catering companies are involved in their conversations, the relevant persons in charge can also hear their remarks about catering operations and their opinions on Chinese and Western food.
I am afraid that at this particularly critical time, many business problems can be suddenly understood and many business mistakes that should not have occurred can be avoided.
Then maybe some unsatisfactory situations will be completely changed, and many helpless regrets may be avoided.
But unfortunately, such a thing never happened.
So history is still running on the rugged and curved road according to its original trajectory...
"Dingling bell..."
In Goubuli Headquarters, the phone in the manager's office rang again.
He Dong, then the person in charge of Jinmen Goubuli, raised his head.
However, sitting at his desk, he frowned while looking at the phone, not wanting to answer it at all.
Because he can basically guess who made the call and why.
He didn't want to agree to this person's request at all, so it was better not to accept it.
But the problem is that the phone rings so patiently and keeps ringing.
The noise made him upset, and he finally had to pick up the microphone.
“Hello, is this Manager He?”
The person on the microphone spoke in an official accent. "I'm Zhao Changrong, what's going on with you? I've been waiting for you all morning. Why didn't you come? You changed your mind about everything you agreed to do. Do you still have an organizational sense? Do you still take me as your superior seriously? ”
"Oh, Director Zhao, please don't get me wrong. I encountered an unexpected situation. Today, our store is very busy. My bun conveyor belt is broken again. I have to deal with these urgent issues. . When things get busy, I will..."
"Don't try to find objectivity for me. This nonsense is all nonsense. Do you think you can get away with it? I promoted you to come here? Are you just asking me to take charge of this store?”
“No, I really don’t mean that. I know you promoted me just to run this store well.” I have not betrayed your trust. Our store has achieved all the targets, and we have also paid what is due to the bureau. Compared with the same period last year, our sales increased. 62%, and the average increase in employees' excess share income is 52%. The new box packaging and flexible packaging in our store are very popular for customers, and the daily turnover has exceeded 10,000. It's great. We are also planning to open branches in other places. The report has been submitted and we are waiting for your approval..."
"Okay, okay, don't show off your work to me. You're doing a good job, but you shouldn't have your tail. Let me ask you, do you understand the spirit of your superiors' instructions? How can you do your job in the future? "
"Oh, you are such a good leader. Just don't force me. You are right, I should pay attention to the spirit of the superiors' instructions. I tell you, you can increase the price of anything at will, but our bun is really not suitable for increase. Price. Because it is something for the common people, it must be affordable. Think about our old mayor, he put together so many time-honored brands to create this store. "Why is it that someone who takes the lead and is the main body of technology is called "Goubuli" in the end? Isn't it because it is so down-to-earth and close to the people? If the price increases like this, is it still expensive? Still eating? ”
"I asked you why you are so stubborn. One moment and another. In the past, Goubuli was only known to us locals. Now, it is famous throughout the country. Even Sihanouk and Ho Chi Minh have eaten your steamed buns. That is The buns served at the state banquet are still the same as ordinary buns. Of course they have to be different. I didn't ask you to increase the price by five cents. I don't believe it. There are so many foreign tourists coming to Tianjin every day for just a cent, so why are they willing to go all the way for nothing? As the saying goes, the emperor’s daughter doesn’t have to worry about getting married..."
"You can't say that. Foreign tourists will definitely buy it, but what do our local folks think? Fame has its pros and cons. I'm afraid that people will poke my spine. Besides, we are not We have already implemented the operating contracting responsibility system of profit sharing, excess sharing, and responsibility for profits and losses. Should we raise prices or not? Can our superiors stop interfering with this issue of business direction?"
"You. Shit! Why are the prices of brand-name products so high? Who is interfering? Look, you are so crazy! Even if you are contracted, you will always accept it. Superior command! Otherwise, it's unclear whether you can continue. Don't forget, this contracting system still has the word "trial". I won't bullshit you. I can't stand you. Are you? Well, I'll call you now. Don't think about your store's foreign investment. Your superiors won't approve it."
"Hey, no, director, don't be angry. Ah, I really don't want to go against you. Let's talk things over and be reasonable. If you use me, you have to give me real power. Otherwise, it will be a slap in my face. How can I command others?" br>
"Don't be ungrateful. Everything now depends on economic benefits. Didn't you hear that sentence? Look down at the money, look up and look forward. Only by looking at the money can you look forward. Others want to rise The price bureau still doesn’t agree. As a result, your superiors gave you the green light, but this great thing you wanted to do has become a problem for you? Let’s be honest, can you please remind me? You, your uncooperative attitude is not only displeasing to you, but also the people below you are complaining. Why don't you give orders to others? In your last day, come to me tomorrow after thinking clearly..."
The phone was hung up.
He Dong sat in his seat in a daze for a while, then stood up with a sigh.
Then he pretended to be calm and walked out of the office to inspect the work. When Clinker walked around to go to the toilet, he heard the complaints of the employees coming from inside.
"...I really don’t know what you think? You can make more money, but you’re still not happy. There are still such stupid people in the world. Why don’t the prices of things go up now? ? There is something wrong in my head..."
"Pull him down. He is not stupid, but too smart. You all think about it carefully. In the first period of time, there were cases of contract contracts being invalidated everywhere. Why? Because there are too many rewards to be distributed to the contractors according to the contract. The boss doesn’t dare to implement it. I think Manager He is also afraid that this kind of thing will happen again. He is afraid that his own reward will be lost, so he deliberately suppresses it..."
"Well, according to you, why is this? The manager is so scheming. He is causing trouble for us. If the price of buns increases, it will be a net profit, and our bonus will increase a lot immediately."
"Hey, that's right. There are also foreign investments. Why open branches in other places? Just so that we don't have to pay for it. If you ask me, we have to respond well to the boss, and we can't let this He Dana turn our store into a Cheng Yitang works so hard every day, why can’t he stop me?”
He Dong suddenly leaned against the wall. .
He wakes up early and stays up late every day to work, sleeping for at most five hours. At this time, his body is as soft as noodles.
He didn't expect that Director Zhao would really say it. As expected, the employees below him didn't understand him at all, and even had a huge misunderstanding.
For this reason, for the first time, he doubted the need for his persistence.
Am I... really wrong?
At the same time, Director Zhao Changrong Zhao who just ended the call with He Dong.
In his office, I discussed the business direction of Qi Shilin with Cheng Baozhong, the future successor of Qi Shilin.
"Hey, Baozhong, you are an old man from Shilin, and you are also an excellent chef. You know all aspects of the store best. Your superiors intend to promote you this time and plan to let you take over the old manager's job. Son. I just want you to have good technical skills and have prestige among the employees. But how to change the current depressed situation in Shilin, you have to come up with a practical method."
Cheng Baozhong said. His face was filled with excitement and gratitude. He really regarded Director Zhao as his noble person and tried his best to express it.
"Director Zhao, thank my superiors for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. Then I will talk about my thoughts. I think that the responsibility for our current operating difficulties in Shilin does not actually lie with us. Why? Because the taste of our dishes is absolutely authentic, just like in the past."
"But why no one comes? The first thing is, we. In this area, wages are too low. There are not as many foreigners as there are in Shanghai, but even if we open several Western restaurants, we locals can afford pancakes and gaba dishes. At most, there are few people who want to eat Goubuli and go to restaurants. In terms of reputation, everyone in Shilin can afford such high-end authentic Western food. Buy some bread and coffee sweets.”
“The second point is that this foreign-invested Orchid Flower fast food is so wicked that it took away a lot of our original customers before they opened. Lin’s business is doing well. After all, this is the only Western restaurant in Jinmen. But since they opened, our business has plummeted.”
"I've been to their place. The prawns with tomato sauce cost three yuan and a half, which also includes a bowl of Russian borscht, a plate of kimchi, and seven or eight prawns in tomato sauce on three ounces of rice. , about 12 centimeters long, it’s really not expensive and quite affordable.”
“They also have French pork chops, German burgers, and Italian meatballs. , American hot dogs, those are all set meals. They also come with egg soup and hot and sour soup, right? They are made in Western style and cooked well. , can borscht be eaten with rice? What a joke! Young people don’t know how to do it. To put it bluntly, they are trying to deceive customers and disrupt the market..."
Director Zhao couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but wave his hand.
"Okay, you have already mentioned the difficulties. Just tell me what you plan to do in response to this situation. But I have to declare first that Orchid Orchid is a foreign investment project designated by the city. I will There's nothing you can do about it. Don't think about it and hope for unrealistic good things."
Cheng Baozhong couldn't help but swallowed and laughed.
"Director Zhao, I also know your difficulty. If you want to put it this way, there are only two ways. First, we can't just focus on local customers, we must try our best to win the patronage of people who are on business trips from other places. What do I mean? Qi Shilin is famous. Who doesn’t want to try such authentic Western food? So our superiors must not favor one thing over another and only promote Goubuli. We, Qi Shilin, are also the representatives of Jinmen catering. See it in newspapers and be on TV. "
"Secondly, in order to win over young customers, I also want to have something elegant and fashionable over there. The music cafe is especially popular among young people. So I also plan to invite some actors from our song and dance troupe to sing some popular Hong Kong and Taiwan songs at the restaurant on the second floor of Qishilin. Tickets are required for 5 yuan a piece. Zhang. I think this will not only attract more customers to eat Western food, but also earn more money."
Director Zhao nodded slightly as he pondered.
"Baozhong, I didn't expect you to have quite an idea. These two ideas of yours sound interesting. As for the first condition, I can agree to it now. I will do more publicity for you. That's right. There's no problem at all. It's just a music cafe. I have to apply for it on your behalf, hold a meeting to discuss it, and listen to the instructions from my superiors. After all, dance halls were banned a few years ago, and I'm afraid of violating the policy. Ah. Oh, by the way, don’t you have any other plans? For example, would it be better to lower the price since customers can’t afford it?”
“ Price reduction?" Cheng Baozhong looked in disbelief, then shook his head like a rattle.
"Director Zhao, why should we lower the price? We have never lowered the price! Qi Shilin is an authentic Western food! It is the only one in the country, there is no other semicolon! As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about getting married. How about lowering the price? It’s such a loss of status! Don’t worry, as long as my superior agrees to these two conditions, I guarantee that after I take over the contract, I will be able to get Qishilin out of business difficulties and return to full capacity!”
Director Zhao looked confident! Cheng Baozhong, who was full of confidence, could not help but feel confident and nodded approvingly.
"Okay, this is what young people should be like, and reform needs to be like this. Well, dare to think, dare to do, and have ambition. Baozhong, work hard in the future. I am very optimistic about you."
