Chapter 598: Opening 10 minutes early, the scene is very popular! Garlic Bird Garlic Bird, let’s talk it out!
The next day, April 7, although it was a Monday, was the last day of the Qingming Festival holiday and the day when the first eight stores of Orange Supermarket opened simultaneously.
Chen Yansen dressed neatly and got into a Maybach.
Without him saying a word, Xiao Li started the car and sped towards Dapu Bridge.
at the same time.
At first glance, the basement floor of the ASEAN Department Store was packed with people.
Mall manager Wang Lei stood not far from the entrance of Orange Supermarket, looking at the huge crowd lining up from the elevator entrance to the mall corridor, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He shouted into the intercom, "Send ten more security guards over here to guard the elevator entrance. Don't let any customers get hurt."
He pulled out his phone and called the local inspection office, saying hurriedly, "Hello, is this Officer Li? I'm Wang Lei from the Sun Moon Light Department Store. Our Orange Supermarket on the basement floor is opening today, and there are too many people. We're almost out of control. Could you please send some people over to help maintain order?"
There was a quick response from the other end of the phone, saying that the patrol would arrive within ten minutes.
Wang Lei hung up the phone and just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw two young men arguing over the issue of queuing and almost getting into a fight.
He quickly ran over and pulled the two apart: "Don't be impulsive, we're all here to buy things, there's no need to argue! The supermarket is open until 9 PM, so there's still stock if you come later. Let's talk it out!"
Fortunately, within a few minutes, the patrol car of the inspection office drove to the entrance of the mall, and four uniformed inspectors walked quickly into the basement floor.
Upon seeing the situation, Li Jiayu, the leader, immediately told his entourage, "You two go to the elevator and guide customers downstairs in batches to avoid overcrowding. Xiao Zhang and I will go to the supermarket entrance to help maintain order in the queue and talk to the supermarket manager to see if we can let customers in in batches to avoid overcrowding."
"Manager Wang, what's going on?" Li Jiayu waved at Wang Lei and asked with an unhappy look on his face.
He was originally resting, but because of a call from Wang Lei, he had to leave his wife and children behind and rush to Dapu Bridge to be on duty.
"Orange Supermarket opens, the new company of Mr. Chen."
When Wang Lei saw Li Jiayu coming, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shrugged helplessly.
"What are these people doing? It's just a supermarket. Is Chen Yansen's supermarket cheaper than others?"
Li Jiayu complained in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, Officer Li." Wang Lei said with a little guilt.
"Never mind. I still have to thank you. If you hadn't informed me in time, I would have been criticized if something really happened."
Li Jiayu waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Officer Li, you're right. The prices at this Orange Supermarket are indeed cheaper than at other supermarkets. A bag of greens, winter melon, bean sprouts, or carrots are all only 1.9 yuan. Pork leg is 9.9 yuan per pound, beef brisket is 19.9 yuan per pound, and beef leg is 24.9 yuan per pound. Six bottles of Coke are 7.9 yuan, and they even give away four eggs when you place an order."
Wang Lei shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Such old eggs?" Li Jiayu was slightly stunned after hearing this.
After all, Shanghai is the economic center of China, and the consumption level is not low.
The price of beef brisket is generally between 25 and 30 yuan, and the price of beef leg is around 35 to 40 yuan.
"I heard that Orange phones are cheaper than on the official website, and they're in stock."
Wang Lei added.
It was his decision to introduce the Orange Supermarket, so when he first arrived at the office and learned that more than 2,000 people had gathered in front of the supermarket, he was stunned.
If a stampede occurs, he will definitely be held accountable, which is the main reason why he is particularly concerned about it.
"Okay, I'm busy now. We'll talk later." Li Jiayu nodded in response.
With the intervention of the inspectors, the chaotic team immediately became orderly.
Of course, there were also unreasonable uncles and aunts, so Li Jiayu had to patiently persuade and coax them to line up.
Yao Lan, the manager of the Orange Supermarket ASE store, originally wanted to set up a stage in the open space at the door and hold a raffle.
He took a look at the grand scene in front of the door and immediately decided to open 10 minutes earlier.
Yao Lan asked the staff to remove the unfinished stage scaffolding to prevent anyone from tripping. He picked up the intercom and shouted, "Attention all areas! Opening 10 minutes early!"
As soon as the words fell, the supermarket staff immediately took action. The clerk who was originally guarding the door quickly returned to his post, and the weighers in the fresh food area also put on gloves in advance and were ready to welcome customers.
The crowd, which was originally a little restless, instantly quieted down when they heard the news of "early opening". The line also moved forward, and everyone stared at the low-priced goods on the shelves.
When Chen Yansen arrived, the supermarket was already open for business.
After seeing his boss, Yao Lan hurriedly trotted forward and nervously explained the reason for "opening early".
"You're doing great. Safety is our top priority. I remember Hou Yi recommended you. You were originally the regional manager of Kedi Convenience Store. Keep up the good work. These eight stores are just the starting point for Orange Supermarket, not the end."
After listening to this, Chen Yansen patted Yao Lan on the shoulder and said.
In fact, Orange Supermarket had already reported the opening information to the shopping mall and the nearby inspection station, but it did not attract the attention of the other party.
In their opinion, how many people can an unknown supermarket attract on its first day of opening?
But the result surprised everyone!
"How many customers do you estimate will be in the first wave?" Chen Yansen looked at Yao Lan and asked.
“So far, the number of customers entering the store has exceeded 2,600!”
Yao Lan handed over the tablet in her hand, on which sales data was displayed in real time.
Because he installed counters, infrared sensors and cameras at the entrances and exits, he can count the customer flow data of supermarket entrances and exits, shelf areas, cash registers and other areas in real time.
The backend system can automatically distinguish the direction of entry and exit, new and old customers, and generate dynamic heat maps, customer portraits and other business data, so as to optimize the shelf layout, and then adjust the cashier schedule according to the peak customer flow, shortening customer waiting time.
Chen Yansen took the tablet, slid his finger across the screen, and finally stopped at the dynamic heat map.
The red areas in the fresh food section are the most densely populated, especially next to the shelves of green vegetables, pork legs and beef brisket.
The customer flow in the snack area and non-food area is relatively scattered, and only the shelves of cola and laundry detergent are slightly busier.
This shows that the first batch of guests were basically nearby residents.
"The frequency of restocking in the fresh produce section needs to be increased. Don't wait until everything is sold out before restocking. When there's only one-third left, quickly transfer the goods from the warehouse and have employees push carts to restock the shelves at any time. Don't let customers wait empty-handed."
Chen Yansen pointed at the heat map and instructed Yao Lan.
Yao Lan nodded quickly: "I will tell the warehouse department to keep an eye on the inventory and be ready to restock at any time.
Also, there are three lines at the weighing station in the fresh produce section right now. I'll send two more employees over there right away, which should help ease some of the pressure."
Chen Yansen nodded and signaled Yao Lan to go ahead and get busy.
He only stayed at the ASEAN Plaza for half an hour before getting back in the car and heading to Changtai Plaza.
