Chapter 2033: One question in the assessment!
Lu Fan smiled at Zhou Huan:
"In about half a year, our Baiyue supermarket will have to double its size, and the scope of development will not be limited to Nanshan City.
It doubled in just half a year?
For Lufan, this is a rather conservative and restrained development model.
But for an employee like Zhou Huan who rose through the ranks in an old company, this speed of development can be said to be like launching a rocket!
He was a little bit unbelievable.
But Lu Fan was obviously very confident and was already arranging other things to explain:
"Next, we will rush into Harbour City and even Lingnan City. The number of stores will surge to around fifty."
"And you are the person in charge of the head office. It will also be a test whether you can be competent as a regional manager at that time."
If Zhou Huan was still wondering whether Lu Fan’s expansion plan was feasible.
When he heard what Lu Fan said about the regional manager, his breathing stopped.
What does a regional manager represent?
He represents the entire area, whether it is at the provincial or municipal level, and he is the unique person in charge!
It represents supreme power in the territory of Baiyue.
Zhou Huan was stunned by this big pie that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And Lu Fan continued to exhort:
"So Zhou Huan, don't relax your standards on yourself just because you switched from Guangyuan Supermarket to Baiyue."
"You still have to keep working hard and don't lose your fighting spirit. I have high hopes for you. Until you gain experience, I will keep this position for you for a while!"
These words were like chicken blood injected into Zhou Huan's pulse and heart.
His eyes were red, not sure if it was out of excitement or arousal.
If it wasn't so weird for him and Lu Fan to hug each other, Zhou Huan might have jumped up and high-fived Lu Fan.
But even without high fives and hugs, Zhou Huan has his own way to express his gratitude:
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your appreciation. I have never thought about this before. I just thought that being a manager of a head office is the pinnacle of my career."
Unexpectedly, Lu Fan completely let bygones be bygones and was willing to give himself a chance and channel to continue climbing up.
In order to express his gratitude, Zhou Huan told Lu Fan everything he was hesitant about and what he didn't know whether to say or not.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that in order to arrange for the smooth entry of the Lu's brand, you also built a logistics channel exclusively for our Lu's?"
Seeing Lu Fan nodded, Zhou Huan calmed his heartbeat and continued:
"I have been working in Guangyuan Supermarket for quite a while, so I know very well how our supermarket industry operates."
"It is precisely because of this clarity that we can most easily see how corrupt this industry is."
As he spoke, he also cited several examples.
Just like the Guangyuan Supermarket acquired by Lu Fan.
There was also a small supermarket chain in Nanshan City that Lu Fan had taken over, which was almost framed by the accountant due to corruption issues.
Lu Fan is very clear about the power of accounting.
The Xiangyu Printing Factory in the industrial park was on the verge of bankruptcy because the factory director and the accountant both ran away.
Seeing that Lu Fan understood, Zhou Huan took a breath and expressed his concerns:
"There's actually nothing wrong with the plan you just mentioned, if you have confidence in it."
"But there are still many hidden dangers. For example, with the rapid expansion of the business territory, the screening of warehouse managers and storage personnel may not be able to keep up."
"By then, the logistics will be fast, the personnel will be diverse, and the daily flow of operations will be even more."
"What if the supervisory department is in cahoots with the warehouse and storage, or even the accountant and store manager, and they deceive their superiors and subordinates and make false accounts?"
"This cannot be checked in a short period of time. If they don't do a big check by the end of the year, they will be able to completely wipe out the books."
Lu Fan didn’t know much about the operation of this kind of chain supermarket before.
However, after the acquisition, I have become more aware of the chaos and deficits involved.
Just like the large supermarket chain Carrefour that was very popular in China before, it was originally a foreign-funded enterprise with good qualifications.
However, the branches in various places suffered serious losses, and the management chaos caused by top-down influence also made this foreign-funded enterprise insolvent.
Eventually it was acquired by other domestic institutions, but it still did not change its previous business model and management, which made its death even more complete.
Even the company that acquired it suffered a loss of more than 5 billion yuan and was almost dragged into the abyss by Jiale.
After listening to Zhou Huan's response, Lu Fan knew that he was right: "We should still encourage employees to supervise each other."
Speaking of this, Zhou Huan was also embarrassed:
"That's right, Mr. Lu. Although Baiyue just opened today, the employees in various locations are actually still working at full capacity."
"We are short of staff and there are not enough of them, not to mention the special cases of sick leave and personal leave."
