Chapter 801: 793 Walmart's arrogance! Xu Xu Zhengyang and
A blink, 21:00.
Walmart Supermarket, officially closed.
Then started the first day of business inventory.
Walmart executives, none of them got off work, but waited in the meeting room upstairs at Walmart, waiting for today's business data.
Lights bright......
It took a full hour for the data to come out.
The operations manager in charge of statistics held thick reports and walked into the meeting room in a hurry.
"How is the data?"
"President, leaders......"
The operations manager reported the data to the executives one by one.
The executives listened, their brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Item after item of data was far below their expectations; compared with Five Star Supermarket, it was only one-tenth to one-twentieth.
"Why is it so low?"
"We invested so much publicity cost in the early stage, and hit quite a few advertisements, why is there only this little customer traffic? Such little business volume?"
The data was in front of them, and the executives were all a bit desperate.
This Walmart, it seems that the opening day was a collapse.
After a long time,
President Bob Martin looked around: "Obviously, our first day of opening is a failure."
"But failure is not terrible, the most important thing for us is to learn lessons!"
"Everyone, say your views."
The executives were silent, and finally, under Bob Martin's signal, someone finally started to speak.
Operations Director: "Obviously, the reason lies with Five Star Supermarket. In design, we have a big difference from Five Star Supermarket, the space layout is not big enough, leading to poor customer shopping experience; there is no children's playground, the attraction to families with children is insufficient; service attitude also needs to be improved, many customers reflect that the staff's service attitude is not as good as the Five Star Group."
"There is another point, our product variety and price advantage have not been highlighted, the Five Star Supermarket next door does much better than us in these aspects, the products are better than ours, and the prices are cheaper."
Everyone said a word, I said a word,
"Their playground, if we want to catch up in the future, we have to invest more costs."
"They also have unconditional return and exchange, this doesn't fit our retail logic at all, the US headquarters won't agree!"
"There is another point, their wages are 2 times ours, this point, we can't give at all."
They are here to make money, not to do charity.
The above three points are doing charity.
How can they engage?
Completely contrary to the original intention of doing supermarkets to make big money!
A blink, 3 days passed.
Walmart Supermarket's situation didn't improve, but got worse!
Upstairs at Walmart Donghu Store, in the president's office,
President Bob Martin sat alone behind the large desk, the morning sun shone in, reflecting his tired and anxious face that hadn't slept all night.
He stared at the computer screen,
A "Report and Suggestions on the Opening Situation of Shenzhen Store on the First Day", sent by the secretary.
He was reviewing it, preparing to send it to the US headquarters.
"Respected headquarters leaders, four days ago, the Shenzhen store welcomed its first day of opening......"
"This opening data, compared to Shenzhen's market potential, compared to the US business data, is undoubtedly a failure......"
"After in-depth analysis and field investigation, I believe the key reason for this failure lies in the significant difference between us and Five Star Supermarket......"
"Five Star Supermarket is a large supermarket group from Hong Kong......"
"Its significant features are......"
"After comparison, it can be found that our shortcomings are quite many: 1...... 2...... 3......"
"To reverse the current unfavorable situation, I suggest:......"
Until the afternoon,
He deliberated a few times, changed a few times, and finally clicked, send email.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
United States.
Arkansas, Bentonville, 702 Southwest 8th Street, stands the Walmart headquarters building.
This is the core hub of Walmart's global operations.
In a corner of the top floor, an office of more than 300 square meters.
Chairman Roberson Walton sat behind the spacious desk, the computer screen on the desk flickering.
He is the second-generation leader of Walmart, the eldest son, who started taking over Walmart in 1992.
At this time, Roberson Walton was looking at an email from the East.
When he saw the email opening mentioning the unbearable data of the first four days of the Shenzhen store opening, he couldn't believe it.
"Actually failed? We are the first in the global retail industry!"
When investigating the Eastern market, whether it was him, or others, they were full of confidence.
Continue reading.
Soon, his brows furrowed even more.
The reason for failure is because of a supermarket from Hong Kong?
This is impossible!
In his heart, Walmart has always been proud of its own retail model, and has achieved huge success in the United States and many regions around the world.
I, world retail number one.
Actually lost to a local supermarket in the East?
He carefully read the features of Five Star Supermarket.
Open space layout, children's playground, enthusiastic staff service attitude, high wages......
Then saw Bob Martin's suggestion: "Design a higher and larger sales floor", "Add children's playground area", "Re-evaluate return and exchange policy", "Increase salary treatment"......
Roberson Walton's face was uncertain.
This is to engage in "New Walmart"?
As everyone knows: the most convenient way to embezzle is—to set up new projects.
Walmart has mature store opening experience, and cost control is very good.
If you want to engage in New Walmart, the project will be relatively special and new, and cost control will naturally be difficult to control. By then, won't the funds be randomly messed up by those people in the Eastern region?
"Cannot agree!"
He firmly believes that Walmart in the United States is absolutely excellent and successful.
A new day,
The weather in Hong Kong was cloudy, feeling like a storm was coming again.
Causeway Bay, downstairs of Director Guan Zu's home.
Director Guan Zu stepped, went downstairs.
"Yo~~~"
Xu Xu Zhengyang was careless and didn't dodge, KO'd by Director Guan Zu's sound wave attack.
Xu Xu Zhengyang's expression was like this: (picture below)
Secretly swore in his heart: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the poor single!
Xu Xu Zhengyang was angry, said: "Brother Zu, I want to ask for leave, I want to find a girlfriend!"
Director Guan Zu: "Okay, go!"
Xu Xu Zhengyang left without looking back.
Director Guan Zu smiled, just at this time, Gao Gang walked down from upstairs, humming "You are so poisonous", Director Guan Zu's face turned black, and kicked over.
"Heard that you have gone to wash feet 10 times this month, starting today, I will let Da Tou notify all the girls in Hong Kong, not allowed to serve you. Give you one month, go find a girlfriend......"
Gao Gang covered his thigh, looking bitter, begging for mercy repeatedly: "I'll go immediately......"
Fled in a mess.
Xu Xu Zhengyang side, called Gao Jin: "Brother Jin, let Sister-in-law Zi introduce me to a girlfriend? Can't introduce to Brother Hu, not introduce to me?"
Originally he was a sea guard, with a cold personality, only thinking about protecting Brother Zu.
But......
Being 'Yo~~~' by Director Guan Zu every day, and Ding Hu passing by handsomely eating love breakfast...... he was more or less affected.
And, as a traditional man, getting married and starting a business is also a must, so he also started to become active.
Gao Jin's cold voice came: "Then you come over, Ah Zi and I, happen to be bringing a beautiful girl."
Xu Xu Zhengyang heard: "Really?"
Gao Jin said: "When have I ever said a lie? Come to the entrance of Ocean Park."
Xu Xu Zhengyang: "I'm going over now!"
20 minutes later,
At the entrance of Ocean Park, Xu Xu Zhengyang parked the car, handed the key to the valet, and saw the handsome Gao Jin and Wei Yingzi in the crowd at a glance.
"Brother Jin, Sister-in-law Zi!"
Then Xu Xu Zhengyang looked left and right, puzzled: "Beautiful girl? Where? Didn't see her?"
Gao Jin pulled the 2-year-old daughter behind him and pulled her to the front. ===== CHAPTER 802 =====
