424、The persimmon is hard to pinch(1/2)
The three returned to Century Tower and announced the good news of the relocation to the employees.
“Damn, that’s awesome, one of our subsidiaries actually owns an entire independent building!”
"It's too big. I'm already swollen. Please give me a slap."
"Damn it, are you really hitting me?"
"Thumbs up to Mr. Chen! This wave of relocation is simply 666!"
"That's right, the workstations are a little tight now, so this move is just right."
…
The employees were chattering and had no hesitation at all about moving to the Guozheng Center.
It's not that Century Tower is bad, but the environment and conditions of Guozheng Center are better.
Some people are worried that if they move to the Guozheng Center, there won’t be enough canteens.
We can’t let employees from the other two companies come to Pinduoduo’s office building to dine, right?
"As for the canteen, you can rest assured that Director Chen has decided to outsource the canteen of Guozheng Center to Compass Group.
From now on, everyone can eat four meals a day at the company, all of which are free."
After Zhuang Manting finished speaking, the employees even howled like wolves.
"Oh my god, I'm so happy."
There is no need to go into too much detail about how expensive things are in the Magic City.
Make money in the magic city and spend it in the magic city. I want to take it home.
Now the company directly provides four meals a day.
Calculated in one day, you can save at least one or two hundred.
After a month, that's three to four thousand.
Although it is easy to make money in Shanghai, how difficult is it to save three or four thousand?
When the good news of the relocation spread, the employees became more energetic at work.
Zhuang Manting and the others discussed specific details with the decoration company and how to highlight the different corporate styles of several companies.
Just communicating these details wastes a lot of energy.
Fortunately, we contacted the top decoration company in the industry.
The designer changed the draft several times and finally delivered a design that satisfied all three parties.
Once the design is finalized, all that's left is decoration.
Decorating a headquarters office building is quite time-consuming.
Anyway, they are not in a hurry to move in and let the decoration company keep improving to avoid having to rework in the future.
…
Gubei Carrefour.
As one of the first batch of stores to be renovated, the original store manager Xu Tao has been replaced.
It's not that Chen Wenyuan didn't give Xu Tao a chance, but Xu Tao's ability was not good enough.
Chen Wenyuan is even more dissatisfied with the process of store digital transformation.
Song Ke, the original director of the Purchasing Department, took over Xu Tao's position and became the new store manager of Gubei Carrefour.
After Song Ke took office, he was almost in a desperate situation.
The speed of digital transformation has been accelerated all of a sudden.
Song Ke is dark and thin, in his early forties.
Among the directors of many Carrefour stores in Shanghai, only Song Ke was chosen by Chen Wenyuan.
First, he was promoted to acting store manager.
When Song Ke's results satisfied Chen Wenyuan, the code was removed.
"Dr. Chen, Gubei Carrefour has now begun to accept some orders from Cao Cao Xianda. The online delivery model is very feasible."
Chen Wenyuan took Chen Dongcheng to visit the Carrefour store that was undergoing renovation.
Billboards about Cao Cao Xian Da can be seen everywhere in the store.
The slogan of one-hour delivery within three kilometers is particularly attractive.
Many customers were even recommended by the salesperson to download the Caocao Xianda app, where they can purchase goods in the mall and entrust delivery personnel to deliver them.
This is naturally very convenient for some customers who don’t drive.
Just take the bus home quietly, and when you get home, the rider will deliver the goods to your door.
Not to mention that as new users, Cao Cao Xianda will also provide several coupons to entice them to place orders.
“Except for the initial stage, many stores have been slow to access online delivery.
As the contact time increased and I became familiar with the process, my efficiency immediately improved.
As far as I know, Wal-Mart’s stores in Guangdong Province have experienced an astonishing increase in online orders.”
Chen Wenyuan has resigned from Wal-Mart, but through the words of some former colleagues, Wal-Mart is increasingly interested in online ordering and offline delivery models.
The most obvious move is that Walmart decided to expand the online model to all southern stores starting from the pilot store in Guangdong Province.
At the same time, Wal-Mart is actively contacting Lu Guangyu and wants to inject another capital into Cao Cao's home.
Previously, they only invested US$50 million tentatively.
Having tasted the benefits of online delivery, the supermarket giants suddenly wanted to strengthen their voice.
However, Cao Cao is not short of money now.
The US$350 million previously given by JD.com and Walmart has not been used much yet.
Lu Guangyu also has some ambitions. He wants to wait until all Wal-Mart stores in the south are connected for a period of time before discussing investment with Wal-Mart.
If you accept investment now, there is not much room for valuation growth.
If only the order size of all Wal-Marts in the south increases.
Even if Cao Cao Daojia's valuation is higher, Walmart won't mind.
When we walked to the sorting area, there were many riders wearing Cao Cao Home uniforms checking the products.
After confirming that it was correct, he immediately picked up the shopping bag and left quickly.
This scene was repeated more than a dozen times during the few minutes Chen Dongcheng and Chen Wenyuan observed.
Usually there is a salesperson in the store who is responsible for picking up and putting them into uniform packaging bags.
Finally, in the sorting area, the rider will check it again.
After two procedures, it is guaranteed that there will be no delivery errors.
“After we launched Cao Cao Xian Da, the unit price of online orders was around 70 yuan.
Stores like Gubei Carrefour that were renovated earlier have a daily order volume of around 2,000.
After connecting to Caocao Xianda, Gubei Carrefour's sales per square foot increased by about 10%."
Chen Wenyuan was a little surprised: "The traditional offline retail model is suffering unprecedented impact, and our idea of laying out online is correct."
Without the excitement of online orders and only looking to offline stores, how could Gubei Carrefour be as busy as it is today?
This visit is different from the last time, and the mental outlook of the employees has changed.
There are fewer and fewer employees chatting, almost all of them are busy.
It can be seen that Song Ke's management level is stronger.
Carrefour also offers various benefits for hard-working employees.
High temperature allowance, shuttle bus transfer, lunch and dinner provided.
There is high-level supervision at the top and store managers at the bottom.
The originally lifeless store gradually gained a little more vitality.
Comparing the changes before and after, Chen Dongcheng is also particularly satisfied.
In addition to the Gubei store, Carrefour's other 30 stores in Shanghai have also successively connected to the Caocao Xianda platform.
With the Magic City region taking the lead, access from other regions will become easier.
Walmart may have some resistance, but Carrefour is different.
This is the benefit of being a dad.
The two major businesses of Cao Cao Daojia are working together.
The riders responsible for delivery all put on new uniforms.
