After the story was told, the monkey was quite earnest: "Class monitor, do you believe it now? What do you feel?" Mu Hanxia: "It's quite shocking."
Monkey: "Yeah, how dark."
Mu Hanxia: "No, I'm getting excited listening to it. So this is what a 'business war' is like."
Monkey: "Ah..." Mu Hanxia: "I suddenly remembered an ancient saying: 'Warfare is the way of deception.' Now I understand a little bit. Business is the same. It's all about the word 'trickery'. It's interesting. Tell me more about him!"
Monkey: "No... why do I feel like I'm corrupting a good kid! That wasn't my intention!"
================== In the early morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the air was still cold. Mu Hanxia was running in the morning mist, wearing a tracksuit.
Since her mother died of a serious illness, it has been her habit to exercise every day and keep herself in good shape.
Not far from her home, there is a sports ground, which is also not far from the supermarket. She comes here every day. At this time, the fog dissipated, and there were some people scattered on the playground. She was alone, running and panting.
But she didn't expect to meet Meng Gang here.
There were some fitness equipment on the side of the field. When she ran closer, she saw a man wearing a gray T-shirt and black sports shorts, lifting the arm strength device. The back was very broad and strong, and also very straight, and looked a little familiar.
Then she saw Meng Gang turn around and bump into her.
Mu Hanxia stopped in surprise: "President Meng."
Meng Gang's T-shirt was already soaked thru, and his broad, full forehead was covered in sweat. His eyebrows and eyes were deep and bright, and there was a hint of a smile: "Little girl, good morning."
Mu Hanxia: "Good morning! Why are you here to exercise too?"
Meng Gang smiled slightly and said, "What, only you little girls are allowed to come, but I'm not? "I've been socializing too much lately and not getting enough exercise. My body needs to breathe a little."
Mu Hanxia hurriedly said, "Of course, of course! Exercise is the best, President Meng is wise!"
Meng Gang smiled again.
Mu Hanxia was not someone who was good at or liked dealing with leaders. Seeing that Meng Gang was not speaking and had not let her leave, she tentatively asked, "Then, President Meng... is there anything else you need me to do?"
This time, Meng Gang was really amused by her little appearance. He held the fitness equipment with his hand and laughed in a low and hearty voice: "Okay, Han Xia, we are not superiors and subordinates here, but just ordinary friends. I don't have and shouldn't order you to do anything. Go and run."
Mu Hanxia's heart was softened by the sudden word "friend". Her mind was in a whirl, and her steps seemed to become a little unsteady. "Yes, okay, thank you, President Meng." She ran away, her cheeks slightly flushed.
After running a lap, she heard steady and powerful footsteps behind her. Mu Hanxia turned around and saw Meng Gang running up.
A man in his thirties is at his most mature and robust. What's more, Meng Gang was born in a supermarket doing physical work. In the rising sun, the man's figure outline appears more slender and strong, every action, and very powerful. But compared to the young men in their early twenties, he seemed to have a different kind of charm.
Mu Hanxia withdrew her gaze and subconsciously moved to the side to make way for him. He approached, and the heat from his body seemed to permeate her.
"Running so slow, huh?" he said in a low voice.
Mu Hanxia smiled and muttered in a low voice, "I don't dare to run faster than the boss."
He smiled again, the hard lines of his profile softening in an instant, and he ran ahead of her.
After ten laps.
Mu Hanxia sat down on the stone steps by the playground. She had just rested for a while when Meng Gang jogged over, stopped, and sat down next to her.
Mu Hanxia felt a little uncomfortable, but she still had a casual smile on her face.
But she didn't expect that Meng Gang would talk to her about work.
"How are you adapting to the marketing department?" he asked.
The two sat side by side, and Mu Hanxia could smell the smoke and sweat on him, which was intertwined with the smell of green grass beside the playground. The sun shone on both of them at the same time, which was a strange feeling. It was as if the two of them had become familiar with each other, and there was no longer the sense of distance between them due to their different identities. "Everything is fine," Mu Hanxia said with a smile. "Everyone is very nice to me."
Meng Gang smiled, took out a cigaret from his pocket, lit it, and slowly took a puff. Although Mu Hanxia didn't like the smell of smoke, she didn't show it. He said, "He said you're doing a good job and have a lot of potential. But you were too nervous and tense, and you were a little too humble to everyone. Is that so?" He turned his head to look at her.
Mu Hanxia didn't know what to say, "Oh..."
He smiled again, staring at the cigaret in his hand, and said slowly, "Hanxia, don't be nervous, and don't be cramped. I might hire an assistant now who is at least a college graduate, and some are even undergraduates. But there is one thing that you and I have in common, and that is that although we started low, we are no worse than anyone else. In the workplace, academic qualifications may be important at the beginning, but in the end, it is all about performance. What's the use of a degree? Do you understand?"
Mu Hanxia was silent for a few seconds and answered, "I understand."
Both of them were silent for a while. Mu Hanxia raised her head and saw the sun, which had already revealed its entire face on the horizon, and the sunlight was sprinkled on the entire playground, bright and warm. Just like her heart, which was ironed by Meng Gang's words.
"President Meng, I have a situation I want to report to you." She suddenly said. "Oh? What's the situation?" Mu Hanxia said: "It's like this, I have a high school classmate who is studying at a university in New York, USA. That day, I remembered that my colleague had said that Lin Mocheng had graduated from Columbia University in New York, so I mentioned it to my classmate. As a result, my classmate had just heard of Lin Mocheng and told me some of his stories..."
A cigaret slowly burned out between Meng Gang's fingers.
Mu Hanxia looked up at him and said, "President Meng, I'm done."
Meng Gang pondered for a moment, his expression did not change, but he asked: "Why are you telling me this?"
Mu Hanxia looked into his eyes and boldly replied, "Because I think the original 5% discount may not be enough to defend against this person's attack."
Meng Gang was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly a deep, unfathomable smile appeared in his eyes: "Hanxia, you are bolder and have more potential than I thought."
Mu Hanxia's heart beat faster and faster: "Then, President Meng, what should we do next?"
Meng Gang raised his hand and took another puff of his cigaret, saying gently, "I'll think about it again. "Shouldn't we be going? Otherwise we'll both be late."
Waiting for Meng Gang to announce the new promotion plan.
But the whole company, the whole supermarket, was calm and quiet. There was no action at all. The marketing department was still preparing for the 5% discount promotion, which made Mu Hanxia sigh in her heart. No, this definitely won't work. It won't be able to stop the legendary wolf.
The opening day of Yongzheng was getting closer and closer.
However, Mu Hanxia was in a low position and had no power to speak, so she could not say anything to her colleagues, nor could she jump in front of Meng Gang again to point fingers at him for this matter. She could only wait and see what Meng Gang was up to.
Speaking of which, although they had met several times, Meng Gang was kind and amiable to her. But for a man like him, Mu Hanxia still felt respect and awe, and there was no feeling of getting closer at all. So in the following days, she thot about it and didn't go to the playground to run again, but went to the riverside.
She didn't know if Meng Gang went there or not. But for Mu Hanxia, it was really tiring to have to pay her respects to the leader when she was running and relaxing every morning. So she decided to go to the playground every other day, so that she would not appear to be deliberately avoiding it, and she would not have to accompany the leader every day, which was perfect.
But before Mu Hanxia could accompany him for the second time, something big happened.
================== The supermarket system works six days a week and rests on Sunday. It was Saturday evening.
It was exactly one week before Yongzheng opened.
It was almost six o'clock when Mu Hanxia was about to leave work and go home, but the manager walked into the office and announced with a serious expression: "Everyone stay."
Everyone looked at each other.
The same people who were left behind were all the employes of the fresh food department, the purchasing department, the administration department, etc. After a while, Mu Hanxia received a text message from He Jing: "A Xia, what happened? The supermarket closed early today, and all of our sales staff were left behind."
Mu Hanxia put down her phone and looked at her colleagues around her, who were also looking solemn. Her heart beat faster.
Here it comes.
Finally, it came.
When it got dark, all the staff were gathered in the large conference room for a meeting. All the sales staff were also gathered in the open space in the supermarket to be lectured. Some of the old employes of the marketing department, along with some other people, brought in bundles of promotional posters, publicity signs, price tags... The door of the warehouse downstairs was wide open, and trucks drove in one after another, starting to unload goods nervously... In the conference room.
The lights were bright, the atmosphere was serious, and the room was full of employes.
Mu Hanxia sat in the corner of the last row, listening to the whispers of the people next to her. After waiting for a while, Meng Gang finally walked in with several managers.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Meng Gang sat down in the front row, looked around, and said, "I'm announcing something: with the approval of headquarters, we will be doing a full-line promotion starting tomorrow." He paused and said, "It will last for a week, with a total investment of 3 million."
There was an uproar in the audience. Almost everyone was moved and started to whisper to each other.
You know, although 3 million is not a particularly amazing number, supermarkets are a low-profit industry. 3 million in 7 days, which means losing more than 400,000 yuan per day, while the gross profit of a supermarket is only 200,000 yuan per day. How many supermarkets have done this?
Those who were quick-witted immediately understood.
President Meng is going to take a hard line to deal with Yongzheng, which is opening in a week! He's going to make sure it doesn't have a good opening! Meng Gang said slowly, "This is an unprecedented promotion in the history of our store. I hope everyone will unite as one and fight this battle well. Defend the market leadership position of Leya in Jiangcheng and create a new peak of performance!"
================== The author has something to say: Well... the male lead didn't appear in this chapter, but he appeared in the rumors! Let me explain again: 1. The fruit case was designed by Lao Mo himself, and it was not adapted from a real case, or it was taken from a book and used - Lao Mo did not bother to do such a thing. The inspiration comes from the convenience stores in many communities that we can see now. They have more and more functions. I have discussed with several friends who do business, and they all think that the effective use of terminal stores will be a good business opportunity. The core of what Lin Mochen is doing is to occupy the channel and be the king; therefore, if there is any reprint or use of this case, please indicate the source.
2. As I have never lived in the United States, please forgive me if the details of this case do not conform to the national conditions of the United States. The main thing is that's the general idea. Mwah, see you tomorrow~
