36. Clothing
Zheng Shan's group didn't stay at the door much, and soon came to where Lucas and the others lived.
This is for people to come and book in advance, so the big boss can't let them find a place to live.
After being seated separately, Zheng Shan looked at Lucas and said, "Are you frustrated? But it's not like your character. You were hit in just a month?"
Lucas said with shame: "Boss, I feel that I may really not be able to manage a large group.
Since you left, the development of the group has basically stagnated. I also want to continue to open branches, but it is always unsteady.
Coupled with a few things inside the company, I'm a little lost. "
Zheng Shan is not surprised that the development of the group company has stagnated. It is only natural that he developed rapidly when he was there!
What was he like at that time?
It requires funds and funds, contacts and connections, channels and channels, and relationships.
The key is to have clear goals. Can this development speed be fast?
However, after two years of operation by Zheng Shan, the company has passed the period of rapid development, and it is impossible to develop as before.
After all, at this stage, the competitors they need to face are different. Similarly, the purchase channels of goods and the communication with manufacturers are all big problems.
The competence of Lucas and other executives is unquestionable.
When Zheng Shan started his business, he had a huge amount of capital, plus the connections left by the old man.
Therefore, in the early days of his business, most people's abilities and personalities were carefully selected.
"This is the inevitable result of the development of the group. It is impossible to develop at the previous speed. If so, it is estimated that the group will soon have problems." Zheng Shan comforted.
"So now the group needs to focus on stability, but the development speed cannot be slowed down too slow, and one store must be opened every month."
Zheng Shan knows that he also needs to buy time now, and try to occupy the market as much as possible.
Otherwise, if you wait for other competitors to develop and compete again, the funds and energy spent will not be comparable to the current one.
Lucas said seriously: "I understand, so I came here this time to invite you back and lead the company again."
Zheng Shan shook his head and said, "I don't need to say more, and I don't really care about the company. It just so happens that you all arrived together this time, and I have to arrange some things."
Zheng Shan was not in a hurry to say what was going on, but first looked at the reports handed over by Rachel and Lucas.
Rachel also did not shy away from Lucas, which was also her duty.
Zheng Shan ate here at noon, and until three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Shan really understood it, which was similar to what he had guessed.
"The profit margin of supermarkets is not as good as that of Wal-Mart. The fundamental reason is the price of the products. Just in time, I want to talk to you about this matter." Zheng Shan said.
In an instant, the people who were a little sleepy all cheered up.
"What do you think of China's economy?" Zheng Shan didn't say it in a hurry, but asked first.
For a while, Lucas and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but they knew that their big boss had feelings for Huaxia.
Zheng Shan knew what they were thinking when he saw their appearance, so he didn't let them answer, and said directly: "Huaxia is about to enter the stage of rapid development, and what is the most in Huaxia?
population! This also means that China's labor costs are low, and our current main business is retail. The products with the most sales in retail are basically labor-intensive industries.
If some products are imported from Huaxia, the cost should be reduced a lot, which is beneficial to the development of our group.
"
Lucas frowned slightly: "But boss, although the cost is lower, the quality and whether the product will be accepted by the market is also a problem."
The question raised by Lucas is also the key. No matter how low the product price is, the quality is not good, and it is not accepted by the market, everything is in vain.
Zheng Shan didn't rush to answer, but looked at Du Yougao and motioned for him to say something.
Du Yougao cheered up and said seriously: "As far as I know, many of Huaxia's products are now selling well in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
This is the report I summed up during this period of time, you can take a look. "
This is also what Zheng Shan asked Du Yougao to do. Although the time was short, the result was quickly obtained regardless of the cost.
Lucas and the others read these contents carefully, and after reading it, they all fell into contemplation.
But soon someone said: "Boss, the situation in Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States is still somewhat different."
Zheng Shan nodded and said: "I also considered this, so I decided to test the water first. Some time ago, I reached an agreement with a textile factory.
We can purchase products from them in the future, and we can use this time as a pilot. "
Lucas nodded slightly, clothing and other products accounted for a small share of sales in supermarkets, and only a small number of people would buy clothing in supermarkets.
Most of them will only be purchased in specialized clothing stores. Although this kind of pilot is not very representative, it costs very little.
"But in this way, the clothes we sell are basically not well-known, and..."
Zheng Shan said without waiting for him to finish: "I have also thought about this clearly."
Looking at Rachel, "After you go back, set up a clothing brand, and then use this clothing company to place orders here, and finally sell them in Xishui Supermarket."
Rachel was stunned. In this way, this so-called clothing company was actually a shell company.
But she didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "I know, I'll do it right away when I go back."
"But what about the style of clothing? This also takes time to design."
Zheng Shan continued: "As for the style of clothing, it's very simple."
Saying that, he smiled at the crowd and said, "Just imitate the good styles that sell well, and just ask some designers to make some fine-tuning."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, is it so direct?
But before they could regain their senses, Zheng Shan continued: "If someone sue us in this regard, then go ahead and give us money if we lose, but we should do what we have to do."
Finally, he said to Rachel: "If the clothing is good, then this clothing company will be independent and become a separate company."
This time Rachel suddenly understood, a little excited and a little worried, but at this time, no matter what, she could only respond.
This is an opportunity, and if done right, she will also be the head of a company in the future.
Du Yougao looked at Rachel with some envy, but soon, he stopped envy because Zheng Shan named him by his name.
