1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Do you want to continue? Every time you sell a TV, you will lose 175 yuan. In one morning, more than 500 TV sets were sold in the Liji shopping mall alone, and you lost more than 8 yuan. Bicycles, and other commodities, together have lost more than 10 yuan." Li Xuewu said, "If we continue to sell TV sets in the afternoon, we will lose even more."

In one morning, more than 500 Veuve TVs were sold in Liji Shopping Mall. The activity was vigorous, making money at a loss. Although the nine commercial units are joint ventures, they only engage in preferential activities together. Losses must be borne by oneself.

Liji Shopping Center was originally incomparable with Jiangcheng Shopping Center, Central Department Store, Zhongnan Commercial Building, etc., with an area of ​​only 1450 square meters, about 300 employees, and the highest daily turnover of only 30 yuan, and the competition was not so fierce in the past. , Today's daily sales have dropped to around 10.

The daily sales of Jiangcheng Shopping Center was more than 200 million when it was the highest, and now it has remained at more than 100 million. Compared with the daily sales of Liji Shopping Mall, it is only a loss of more than 10 in the morning, and it is still in the afternoon. Units such as Jiangcheng Shopping Center can afford it. But for Liji Shopping Mall, it was a pain in the ass.

Every time a TV is carried away, it is a piece of meat from the Liji shopping mall.

It's Lingchi!

"You only see losses, but you don't see potential huge returns. As the person in charge of the sales department, your vision is a bit too short-sighted." Yang Bin was not polite at all.

He and Li Xuewu already had a estrangement, and he didn't save Li Xuewu any face in terms of words. He scolded, "Who is the biggest rival of Liji Shopping Mall now? It's Wanjia Department Store! Wanjia Department Store's business is very fast." Well, the sales volume exceeded 500 million on the day of the opening, like a thunderbolt, it slapped all the state-run units in Jiangcheng, including Jiangcheng shopping malls, in the face."

"A private company has just been established, with an area of ​​only 2000 square meters, it has set a daily sales figure of 500 million, which makes our state-owned commercial units feel ashamed."

"Although it's embarrassing, it doesn't have much impact on most commercial units. After all, units such as Jiangcheng Shopping Center and Zhongshang Department Store are still a certain distance away from Wanjia Department Store. They make money in Qiaokou District. Units such as Jiangcheng Shopping Center make money in other places, so it can be said that well water does not violate river water."

"However, Liji Shopping Center is different. It is close to Wanjia Department Store and has been greatly affected. The sales of Liji Shopping Mall have been declining since the opening of Wanjia Department Store. If the situation continues like this, Liji Malls probably don’t have as much sales as a slightly larger grocery store.”

"Under such circumstances, Liji Shopping Center has not found a way out, so it can only wait for death. Even if the Municipal Commission of Commerce intends to arrange Liji Shopping Center to merge more than 10 other small commercial units near Qiaokou District, but if Liji Shopping Center The mall itself is not up to date, and I am afraid there is no need for matching."

His words surprised several people, including the leaders of Liji Shopping Mall.

"Director Yang, you said that the Municipal Commercial Committee intends to allow Liji Shopping Center to merge with other small state-owned commercial units?" one person asked.

He had never heard of this.

"Yes, it is under consideration, but it is not certain. On the contrary, according to the current situation of Liji Shopping Mall, the chance of success is very small. The Municipal Commercial Committee does not have only one leader, but many leaders. Everyone's Opinions are different. Some leaders want to integrate commercial units in various districts under the Municipal Commercial Committee. In Qiaokou District, they intend to let Liji Shopping Center take the lead. After integrating other small state-owned commercial units, Liji Shopping Center will be the main one. Other small state-owned commercial units merged in." Yang Bin nodded.

"However, some leaders hold different opinions, because in terms of the current operating conditions of Liji Shopping Mall, even if other small state-owned commercial units are merged, it may be difficult to compete with Wanjia Department Store. Some other small business units merged into other larger department stores or shopping malls, or even went bankrupt, and some employees were laid off, and those who were transferred to other places were transferred to other places.”

He looked around a few people, "If Liji Shopping Center is really going bankrupt or merged by other larger business units, then you leaders will definitely go to work elsewhere, even if the position is promoted, but in fact It's also rising and falling."

"In Liji Shopping Mall, you can still be leaders, managing people and managing things, but if you go to other places, you can only be regarded as middle-level leaders at best, and you will be managed by others, and you will have much less power in your hands."

Yang Bin's news is relatively well-informed, and he knows some things that are still under discussion and have not yet been formed.

But these words of his are not alarmist, and there is indeed such a thing.

"Director Yang, you can help me a lot. Liji Shopping Mall has finally come to the present, and it can't go bankrupt."

"Yes, although our sales are declining now, we are a state-owned unit. We can't just look at sales, but also whether we provide convenience to the surrounding citizens. Over the years since the establishment of Liji Shopping Center, we have been committed to It has also received a good response for serving the surrounding citizens, and is deeply loved by the residents of Qiaokou District. If there is no Liji Shopping Mall, many citizens will definitely not agree.”

"Director Yang, you have to say more good things in front of the leaders."

Several leaders of Liji Shopping Mall complained and complained to Yang Bin, hoping that Yang Bin could help Liji Shopping Mall.

Lalizi Shopping Mall is actually giving them a hand.

I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

As Yang Bin said, they still have some power in Liji Mall, but if they leave Liji Mall, even if they are not laid off, they will be transferred to other places, and their voice will definitely be reduced.

"I'm just a director of the Purchasing Department of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall. How can I be so capable to help you? You think highly of me." Yang Bin chuckled.

He shook his head.

"Director Yang, be humble. Who doesn't know your name? Although you are only the director of the procurement department, you are the director of the procurement department of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall. You don't have a certain ability. How can you sit in this position?"

"That's right, Director Yang, we are not strangers. We have known each other for a long time, so don't belittle yourself."

"That's right. This time, nine state-owned commercial units have joined forces to offer a 9% discount. Thanks to Director Yang's ability to bridge the gap, ordinary people can't do this."

One by one holding Yang Bin.

This made Yang Bin very happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

He took a cigarette handed over by someone, with his head slightly bowed, his hands resting on the side of the cigarette, and someone lit it for him, took a puff, and then said, "Actually, you have to fight for this matter yourself. .”
