Lu Fan handed Wang Wei the business plan for the franchised convenience store that Zhou Huan had prepared:
"This was brought by Manager Zhou. Perfect, take a look and see if you have any comments or suggestions."
Wang Wei was puzzled, but all the questions Mr. Lu had asked her were about the convenience store.
This is likely related to Zhou Huan's project proposal.
She then began to browse through them carefully.
Zhou Huan couldn't help but say to Lu Fan:
“President Lu, those convenience store managers aren’t actually the bad guys.” “After all, it’s Shengjing Company that’s behind this. They’re just small businesses; how could they afford to offend a multinational corporation like that?”
Just like the small businesses and enterprises that were ruined by Shengjing before Lu's Food Factory.
Without capital, how can one be qualified to be an opponent of such a powerful and ruthless giant?
They could wipe you out in a heartbeat.
Zhou Huan thought Lu Fan wanted to target these convenience store managers who followed the crowd.
I can't help but want to say a few words of justice for them, so that it's not the small shop owners who suffer because two big companies are fighting.
Lu Fan then gestured for Zhou Huan to wait, to await Wang Wei's suggestion later.
Wang Wei looked at it very carefully, for at least longer than Lu Fan.
Because she was sitting right next to him, she naturally heard that Zhou Huan and Lu Fan seemed to be arguing a bit.
Moreover, judging from Zhou Huan's words, it seems that President Lu also wants to target those convenience store managers who "don't understand the bigger picture"?
Wang Wei also felt that this was a bit excessive.
However, she hesitated a bit when she looked at Zhou Huan's proposal.
Just then, Lu Fan looked over and saw that Wang Wei was not moving, seemingly having finished reading and lost in thought, so he asked:
"Finished reading? Now, tell me your thoughts?"
Wang Wei glanced at Zhou Huan, then at the proposal, and finally bit her lip.
"I'm not very good at this proposal."
If Lu Fan had said this, Zhou Huan might have been a little unconvinced. But even Wang Wei, who came later, wasn't very optimistic.
Zhou Huan's confidence plummeted to rock bottom:
"Oh, Manager Wang, do you also think there's a problem?"
He scratched his head, wondering what was wrong with the proposal.
Why is it that neither President Lu nor Wang Wei are interested in him?
Wang Wei seemed hesitant, but Lu Fan gestured for her to continue:
"This is still in the planning stage. If there are any bad signs, we can correct them. There's not that much mental pressure."
"Manager Zhou's energy has always been focused on store operations, unlike you, Manager Wang, who has always been focused on the market and target customer groups."
"Therefore, some market research in this area is still missing, and it is up to you, Manager Wang, to fill in the gaps."
Hearing Lu Fan say this, Wang Wei instantly understood.
It turns out she wasn't called in to help attack Zhou Huan; rather, President Lu wanted Wang Wei to teach Zhou Huan a lesson and help him catch up on what he'd missed.
That way, she wouldn't feel any pressure or guilt. Wang Wei smiled at Zhou Huan and comforted him:
"Actually, Manager Zhou's plan is already very detailed, but as General Manager Lu said, it's missing the part about customers and the market."
"First of all, the customer base of convenience stores is already fixed and will not experience major fluctuations or changes."
"Secondly, there's the market. Now, convenience stores from major brands have already captured the entire market share."
"Whether we join a franchise, invest in a company, or own our own brand, we cannot bring in new blood into a saturated market."
Zhou Huan was a smart man. With Wang Wei's guidance, he immediately understood that Lu Fan's intention was not to stop him, but rather that he simply couldn't see the prospects of the plan.
Following Wang Wei's suggestion, Zhou Huan had a flash of inspiration and suddenly came up with an idea:
"Mr. Lu, this proposal of mine may need some revisions."
“I have a new idea: to increase the discounts and make the already saturated market no longer saturated.”
Lu Fan seemed to have known all along that Zhou Huan would think of this.
He simply nodded calmly.
"Not bad, at least this time the direction is correct."
It was clear that Lu Fan was quite optimistic about the convenience store plan. This time, it was Wang Wei's turn to be confused.
"Manager Zhou, this market is already saturated, how can it not be saturated?"
Ultimately, those shops and those customers are still the same group of people.
It's a done deal, one person for one job.
Zhou Huan laughed and said, "I already said it, we're going to increase the discounts. We can ask these existing convenience stores to remove their signs and put up our new brand!"
"In this way, the store is still the same store, and the customers are still the same customers."
"The only changes are the store's brand and some additions and subtractions in the products sold."
Wang Wei thought this ideal was wonderful, but realizing it would be too difficult.
"They're now backed by a powerful figure, what kind of attractive offer would it take to persuade them to switch sides?"
"Besides, our brand hasn't been established yet. Even if we speed things up, it's still a brand that's only been around for a few months."
