Looking at the Huangpu River rolling eastward in front of him, Wang Yiyuan couldn't help but have a poem in his mind:

The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure turn empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red for several times.

The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river bank, and they are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other. Many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing at.

Yes, the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and many heroes disappear like flying waves. Whether it is right or wrong, success or failure, it is still a waste of time, and it has disappeared with the passage of time. The green mountains of the past still exist, and the sun still rises and sunsets.

This poem is generous and tragic, meaningful, and it makes people feel heart-wrenching when reading it, and it can't help but add a lot of emotion to my heart.

Explore eternal value in the rushing and precipitation of the long river of history, and find profound life philosophy between success and failure, with a sense of historical rise and fall, and a sigh of life ups and downs. While savoring this poem, it seems that you can feel that what is rushing away is not the rolling water of the Yangtze River, but the ruthless history; it seems that you hear a sigh of history, so you look for eternal value in life in sighs.

Although the poem is about the Yangtze River, many things he has experienced in the past month have made Wang Yiyuan feel the same infinite emotion.

The river rushes away with waves, and the heroes disappear with the passing river. They are freed from the entanglement of "right, wrong, success, failure," and after a hundred disasters, they can be abandoned by too many deliberate intentions. If it is too complicated, it will become simple. In the perceptions between time, space, people, and things, the general taste is in the heart.

During this month, Wang Yiyuan was extremely busy, especially two major events that happened one after another, which almost made him breathless. His majestic plan for expanding this store almost failed.

The first thing is the fundraising and management risks of these stores after expansion.

According to Wang Yiyuan's estimate at the beginning, the implementation process was less than halfway, and the funds were obviously tight. It was very simple. There were two things that had increased their prices, and they were much higher than Wang Yiyuan's original budget and evaluation.

One is rent, and the other is the price of intermediary stores waiting to be sold. The price increase of these two is actually based on one reason, which is to make the future positive judgment of the real estate market.

Actually, I think so. Now it is a hot spot in the real estate market, so naturally the markets related to real estate will rise. Wang Yiyuan actually considered this factor when he was making a budget.

However, the increase in the price after the New Year is indeed much beyond Wang Yiyuan's expectations or even imagination. If it is only a small amount or a regional price increase, Wang Yiyuan thinks it is still affordable and is still within his plan and budget.

But the current situation is that no matter what area it is, whether the location of the store is good or bad, compared with the average of the whole year last year, or with the prices at the end of last year, it is all a situation of rapid growth. Exaggeratedly, some stores even have a price of one in the morning, one at noon, but another at night.

So now it seems that Wang Yiyuan's estimate of this point was seriously insufficient, or the gap between prediction and reality was too big. Of course, the deeper reason cannot be blamed on Wang Yiyuan.

This invisibly conveyed greater pressure to raise Wang Yiyuan's funds. It was already very difficult for them to raise so much money at once.

In this way, almost all the funds that Wang Yiyuan could use were not enough. He had to mortgage part of his own shares in the construction company, but this time, because the funds were urgent, he could not get a loan from the bank's formal channels, so he raised some funds from other places at a price exceeding the bank's loan interest rate of 20%.

But these are still not enough. In the end, there was no way, so I found a way to mortgage my house, and then I could fill the hole in the initial form.

But then there is another huge problem. Where does the daily operation of so many stores come from?

The expansion is coming to an end, and about half of the stores are from acquired ready-made stores. This part of the stores, because the real estate market is still good now, as long as there is another one to two months of investment, it should be able to grow slowly and endogenously.

The biggest expenses in the next step still come from those self-built stores. Before they can make a profit, they all need the company to continue to invest, at least to ensure their daily operations. How to ensure it? The key is also money.

In the past few days, Wang Yiyuan has discovered several of the most difficult and urgent risk issues in these stores through on-site inspections of these stores.

Risk comes from three aspects: the location selection of a store. The location selection of these stores should be selected after a strict and prudent process. At the beginning of the company's leading cadres meeting, employees proposed to set up a risk assessment team. Wang Yiyuan thought this was a good idea and quickly adopted it.

But it may be because of the haste. In fact, some stores have not selected their locations very well, and there is still suspicion of choosing their locations for the sake of choosing their locations and completing tasks. This risk may not be very thoughtful now. Perhaps over time, this disadvantage will gradually appear.

The second is personnel management. This expansion is really hasty. The intermediary company is actually far from doing enough in talent reserves and training. The first thing is reflected in the number of store managers, which is far from meeting the actual needs.

At least one store manager in each store is 90 store managers. Wang Yiyuan’s original store manager, plus the reserve store manager, and the “management trainee”, can only meet the needs of up to 60. This is based on some employees who have to manage multiple stores. So in fact, the gap for store managers is about 30.

Later, some agent store managers were selected from the existing employees, but it was still far from enough. In the end, Wang Yiyuan couldn't think of any good idea, so he had to put a store in Qibao with one store manager to manage four stores. This was the only way to meet the expansion needs.

So there are about a dozen or twenty store managers who are actually making up for it, or they can be said to be a failure to get the generals out of the way. However, whether these people can do a good job in the store's business and manage all the affairs of the store well will be a big question mark.
