Chapter 2073 Sales hit a new low!
The store managers of several branches were talking when Zheng Hongshan walked into the office with his secretary, financial and other relevant business personnel.
He glanced sternly at the store managers of these branches, and they immediately rubbed their noses guiltily or lowered their heads and looked around.
It was obvious that he understood why Zheng Hongshan called everyone over.
Zheng Hongshan felt that they were hiding something, and that was why they were acting so awkwardly:
"Humph, I think you all know why I called everyone here today."
"Tell me, what happened to this month's revenue? It dropped so much. Not only you, but I too need to think carefully about how to explain this to the higher-ups."
Zheng Hongshan spoke in a loud voice. Everyone was speechless and no one dared to stand up and say anything. They all waited for others to explain.
Zheng Hongshan saw that this group of people were stubborn and had no patience to wait for them to pass the buck. After waiting for less than half a minute and seeing no one talking to him, he pointed his finger and said:
"Xiao Han, please tell us about it."
Xiao Han cursed in his heart, "What bad luck!", but since he was called out by Zheng Hongshan, the living devil, he could only take over the conversation:
"Manager Zheng, the root cause of this matter is not our fault."
As soon as he said this, it was like opening a chat box. Everyone seemed to have found their own mouthpiece and started to blame each other:
"Yes, General Manager, this is not our fault."
"Manager, if our sales were down, we would have no objection to your order, but now so many companies are down at the same time, the problem is definitely not with us."
"Manager Zheng, we also have year-end bonuses. Now that our revenue is affected, aren't we feeling bad?!"
"General Manager, you can't stay out of this matter. You have to help us.
"Yes, Manager Zheng, you can't just ignore us."
Zheng Hongshan almost laughed out of anger when he heard them talking so much and asking him to take full responsibility:
"Okay, just be patient and you have no ability, why do you have to make a fuss about it and make everyone laugh at you?
"What is the specific problem? How can I solve it if you don't tell me?" Everyone looked at each other. If they didn't speak up, the senior management of Guangyuan Supermarket would investigate and Zheng Hongshan would not be able to defend himself.
"Manager, this is not our fault. If there is any problem, it must be caused by the newly opened supermarket.
"Yes, it's called Baiyue Supermarket, which is a competitor to Guangyuan." "Not to mention that the sources of goods are more diverse, the unit price is also much lower than our similar products.
"This is unfair competition, manager, we have to boycott him!
"Is it because of Bai Yue as well? You are so stupid, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's the same with me!"
Zheng Hongshan only understood half of what was said, but seeing that everyone had agreed on the same thing under his watch, he couldn't help but become curious:
"So, the problems of your several families are all due to the emergence of this supermarket that I have never heard of?
Everyone nodded, and Zheng Hongshan's head almost doubled in size: "Tell me, how come they are not competing properly?
This is the "comfort zone" of several store managers:
"You see, the vicinity of several of our branches are also covered by branches of this Baiyue Supermarket."
"It's a new store opening, so they're offering big discounts. Aren't the residents and customers nearby attracted by these benefits and discounts?"
Zheng Hongshan had just been listening, but when he heard several store managers start analyzing the welfare provisions of Baiyue Supermarket, he became unhappy.
He slammed the table hard:
"You think I'm easy to fool, don't you? The new store opening benefits are great, there's nothing to say about that, but even if your turnover drops, it's still within a controllable range."
"But the revenue of the seasoning category has plummeted. How do you explain that?"
Xiao Han, who was called out by Zheng Hongshan earlier, quickly said:
"General Manager, you don't know this. I don't know what's going on with Baiyue Supermarket. The gifts used for promotional promotions are condiments."
Zheng Hongshan listened to Xiao Han's explanation, thinking about it, and then looked at the other store managers:
"What do you mean, it's the same situation?"
The store managers of several other branches quickly nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, the discounts on the free gift packs from Baiyue Supermarket are huge." "I am really ashamed to say this, but my mother also often goes shopping at Baiyue Supermarket. One time, she brought back this 'Lu' brand soy sauce, which has a good texture and flavor."
"This is probably the reason why the revenue of condiments has dropped so much. After all, they are cheap, large and easy to use, which is in line with the consumption concept of the elderly."
"Even if the preferential benefits are over, the condiments of the 'Lu' brand have already conquered the market and attracted customers, and the sales volume will continue to rise in the future."
Upon hearing this, the store manager of a branch store shouted in regret:
"General Manager, in theory, what products we sell at Guangyuan are all decided by the senior management and colleagues in the purchasing department."
