After the three of them laughed for a while, Li Cheng said, "Since you, the major shareholder, said you'll listen to me, then I'll tell you what I'm saying!"
Han Dayuzi said, "Go ahead, talk, and we'll listen."
Li Cheng continued, "Okay, then we have a few things to do next. First, Principal Meng needs to contact the Pengfei Hotel, where they have teachers who specialize in training service staff."
Meng Jianghong was stunned for a moment and asked, "We run a supermarket, not a hotel. Why would we contact them?"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "You don't understand this, do you? The majority of workers in the tape recorder factory are women, and the majority are between the ages of 20 and 45..."
Before Li Cheng finished speaking, Weng Xiaozhu suddenly asked, "What do you want to do?"
Li Cheng was startled by her, and then Li Cheng was a little stunned, thinking, "What do I want to do? Judging from your expression and tone of voice, it seems that I am planning to let these female workers engage in bad jobs."
"What do I want to do? It's different from what you have in mind anyway."
As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, Weng Xiaozhu cursed, "You hooligan."
"rogue?"
Han Dayazi and Meng Jianghong both looked at Weng Xiaozhu, who blushed instantly. The two of them seemed to understand something, and they both laughed at her...
Weng Xiaozhu was also a little embarrassed, and then she started laughing.
Li Cheng knocked on the table and pretended to be angry and said, "What are you doing? This is a shareholders' meeting! Is this okay?"
The three of them quickly stopped laughing and continued to look at Li Cheng with smiles on their faces.
"Oh, Li Cheng, go ahead and talk, we're listening!" Meng Jianghong said.
"Stop interrupting me."
"No more fighting..."
Li Cheng continued, "Sister Meng, please contact the hotel's training teacher and tell them that you have more than 400 female workers here. Ask the training teacher to train them in batches and only teach them basic reception etiquette and makeup.
After completing basic training, you can contact the business school. I heard they offer sales promotion courses. We female workers want to switch to working in supermarkets in the future, so we definitely need to learn some basic sales knowledge."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, the three of them finally understood that what Li Cheng had done to the female workers was retraining. Weng Xiaozhu felt even more embarrassed, and her eyes were full of apology when she looked at Li Cheng.
"It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Even if they don't want to work in a supermarket in the future, they can still gain a skill to make a living through this training."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, the three of them nodded frequently and said that what Li Cheng did was very good. Firstly, it could arrange for reemployment for the people in the tape recorder factory, and secondly, after the supermarket was built, there would be no need to recruit more employees.
This was a good solution that had the best of both worlds. However, the tape recorder factory not only had over 400 female workers of the right age, but also over 300 female workers over 45 years old, and a bunch of older men. Could it be that Li Cheng would just ignore these people?
So, Han Dayuzi asked, "What about the rest of the people? You can't just assign them to work in the supermarket, right? For example, the over-aged female workers and the men in their fifties, how are you going to arrange for them?"
In fact, before this, Li Cheng had already calculated countless times and felt that although the supermarket he ran was large, he did not need a lot of workers. Five hundred people at most would be enough.
This was the result of Li Cheng arranging as many people as possible. But the supermarket model was precisely that: it didn't require a large staff, yet it offered the convenience of shopping and the ability to buy everything at once. Consequently, supermarkets became increasingly popular, eventually becoming the mainstream mode of shopping.
Of course, Li Cheng also anticipated the impact that online shopping would have on brick-and-mortar stores in the future. However, Li Cheng wasn't afraid, as he had seen successful supermarket models that integrated food, accommodation, entertainment, and shopping.
However, there are some things that online shopping cannot do. For example, people need a place where they can gather, play, live, and shop. Most importantly, it is a place where people can relax and have a place to gather and play on weekends and after get off work.
Most importantly, the city lacked a modern supermarket. If Li Cheng didn't plan ahead, department stores would be the first to arrive, leveraging their mature resources to snatch the pot of gold.
Therefore, the supermarket that Li Cheng wants to open is not just a supermarket in the ordinary sense. Its functions will become more and more complete, and it will eventually become a landmark of the city.
Although the idea is good, Li Cheng is now facing a big problem. That is, there are still more than 200 workers in the audio machine factory who are facing the problem of not having suitable jobs.
Li Cheng dipped his index finger in tea and wrote 225 on the table. He then said, "Actually, there are only 255 people who don't have suitable positions right now. Of these 200 or so, 17 can retire this year. This will reduce our pressure a bit. The rest are basically the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and this is the most troublesome thing."
"So many old, weak, and sick people?"
Han Dayazi and others were all shocked.
Li Cheng nodded and said, "The predecessor of the tape recorder factory was the electron tube factory, which is also a long-established large factory. Over the decades, it has accumulated so many old, weak, sick and disabled people."
Han Dayuzi said, "What should we do? We can't just keep them as pets, right?"
Li Cheng glanced at him and said, "The land and factory buildings of the tape recorder factory are now ours. You can't just take away all the good things and throw away the bad ones, right?"
Han Dayuzi said, "Don't we still have a huge debt? Aren't we paying the interest on the money they owe us now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengcheng seemed to remember something and said to the three shareholders, "Oh, let me tell you something. The loan for building our supermarket is guaranteed by Xinsheng Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. Just know that, and don't ask too much."
Han Dayazi never worried about loans, guarantees, and other bank-related matters. He felt that Li Cheng himself worked in a bank and understood these matters better than him, so he just had to listen to him. He just had to trust Li Cheng.
Weng Xiaozhu didn't say much. After all, she had already thought of this step in Li Cheng's plan. Chain guarantees, chain loans, if one goes down, all go down; if one goes up, all go up.
However, this is the best solution right now. Meng Jianghong works at a bank, after all. When she heard Li Cheng say that the new printing and dyeing factory was guaranteeing the supermarket, she asked a little worriedly, "The printing and dyeing factory also has debts, and now it's guaranteeing the supermarket. Is this... karate?"
Li Cheng said, "Don't worry, there are guarantees for the printing and dyeing factories, not just karate. These are real industries, and it's normal for bank loans to serve these industries."
Meng Jianghong said "Oh" and stopped talking.
In fact, if it weren't for the original loan from the tape recorder factory, Li Cheng could have used the land as collateral for the loan. But the tape recorder factory was now heavily in debt and could no longer borrow money using the land.
In other words, the land currently occupied by the tape recorder factory was actually worth less than nine million. Every time Li Cheng thought about this, he found it ridiculous.
