Chapter 4

(Second update)

What is the biggest supermarket discount you’ve ever seen?

15% off for the whole order? 5 yuan will be rebate if you buy it for 50 yuan, and the cap will be 15 yuan?

Now, Leya's marketing department employees are discussing this issue: in order to deal with Yongzheng's opening, how much promotion should they use to crack down on each other?

"Every time Yongzheng opens a business discount, it is 95-98% off." said a supervisor, "It should be the same this time."

Another manager said: "However, we have to admit that Yongzheng's shopping environment and service quality are better than ours. Our store has been open for seven or eight years. They are new stores, well decorated. And the quality of salesmen is well grasped."

"In the near future, we have to grasp the display and cleaning of the store, as well as the quality of salespeople," someone echoed.

"They do promotions, and we do promotions," someone said. "The customers around us are used to buying them here, and I don't believe they can steal all the customers."

...

Everyone discussed it all over the place, and Mu Hanxia recorded it carefully and quickly. In the past, she looked up from the bottom up, but now she is in it, she found that Le Ya and other cadres are very pragmatic and experienced. Soon, she discussed many practical response measures: strengthening the cleanliness and aesthetics requirements of supermarkets, providing high-intensity professional training to salesmen, and recently focusing on the quality of fresh products. Some products that usually turn a blind eye will not be allowed to be put on the shelves from tomorrow...

She occasionally looked up and saw Meng Gang listening quietly. He would make a decision on some opinions on the spot; and he would not argue with others, or directly questioned the pros and cons. His opinions were always concise and clear, and he fully took care of the face of his subordinates, and everyone was convinced.

Finally, the marketing manager said: "Mr. Meng, I think it will set a 15% discount, just the week when Yongzheng opened. We now have a daily turnover of about 2 million yuan, and we will have to invest more than 1 million yuan in one week, which should be enough."

Meng Gang pondered for a moment and agreed.

After all, in any market, defense is easier than attacking. With the same discounts and the same things, customers are certainly willing to go to the one that they are used to. Therefore, there are so many people and so many companies, trying to become the first in a certain field. This is called taking the initiative.

Mu Hanxia's home is not far from the supermarket, but it is in a city village.

In the evening, she got off the bus and walked through a bumpy dirt road, covering her mouth with her hands to avoid eating too much dust. She then bypassed a few ruins after the demolition and arrived in a dilapidated and old tube building.

Many people moved out here, and most of the buildings were empty. Some people still kept it, such as Mu Hanxia.

The home was on the sixth floor of the top floor. She quickly went upstairs. After opening the door, she threw away her backpack and fell directly on the sofa.

"Oh..." She sighed long, joyful and sad.

After a while, she got up and looked at the portraits of her parents side by side on the mottled white wall. The sky was already dark and the room was dim. She stared at them and began to talk to herself:

"Mom, I'm so awesome. Today, our President Meng has promoted me to an assistant in the marketing department. From now on, we will be a formal office employee, not a salesperson."

"Thinking of this, I'm not much worse than my classmates who were admitted to college. It turns out that their grades are not as good as mine."

"It seems that my luck has always been bad, it's getting better."

"I will definitely have to have a good meal tomorrow and celebrate. Mom and Dad, I will also burn some paper for you. My daughter is also a white-collar worker now and is not considered a poor person."

...

"Why are you all leaving? I miss you so much." As she said that, she cried. After only a short while, she wiped her tears and lay in a daze on the bed.

She remembered the situation of today's meeting. She did not have the opportunity or qualification to speak for such a meeting. But she always felt that it was inappropriate when she remembered Lin Mochen and the harsh words he left behind.

She suddenly remembered that people from the marketing department mentioned that Lin Mochen graduated from Columbia University in the United States.

Columbia University was also one of her dream institutions of learning - this thought flashed through my mind, and Mu Hanxia thought about it, got up and went to the computer, and opened QQ.

"Monkey, are you there?"

Monkey is one of her high school classmates and is studying in New York City, where Columbia University is located.

It was not until almost twelve o'clock that the monkey on the other side of the ocean went online: "Hey, old squad leader, why did you think of contacting me today? Is there anything wrong?"

Mu Hanxia smiled slightly and replied: "If you are fine, you can't contact you? How are you doing recently?"

Monkey: "It's great, you know mine, you can thrive everywhere!"

Mu Hanxia: "Haha, it's great! I have something to do. I'll ask you for my personal name. I'm Lin Mochen, who graduated from Columbia University."

Monkey: "Don't you know me... Is it the same class as us?"

"It should be several years older than us."

"Although I don't know each other, since the class monitor has a request, the young man must go through fire and water to find out clearly. Don't worry, they are all in the Chinese circle, and I have friends at Columbia University, so I'll go and ask first."

Mu Hanxia: "Thank you!" He smiled again.

After a while, the monkey replied: "Squad leader, how are you doing now?"

Mu Hanxia also stopped for a few seconds before answering: "It's pretty good!"

The monkey immediately sent a dancing villain over, and Mu Hanxia looked at it and couldn't help but smile.

——

The next day, Mu Hanxia was officially transferred to the marketing department.

In fact, the work location is to change from downstairs to upstairs, but the content is completely different. In the neat and quiet office, everyone is busy in front of the computer, or having meetings, or running supermarkets and suppliers, in an orderly manner.

The manager briefly introduced Mu Hanxia to everyone and asked her to work with an older sister. The older sister assigned her some simple work to sort out and copy. Mu Hanxia was humble, diligent, obedient, sweet-mouthed, but not flattering, and spoke funny. After a day of getting along, not only the older sister, but other colleagues also thought that the new girl was quite adept, and she did not have the clumsy aura of some salesmen, and was quite popular.

In the evening, the staff member Mu Hanxia got off work on time. Today, he had to ask He Jing to have a hard meal. The two girls took the bus and arrived at the night market by the river. They ordered a lot of barbecue and drank beer. Finally, they ate fat and round, leaned side by side on the beach, looking at the stars.

"Hey..." He Jing looked at Mu Hanxia with a squinted look, "I honestly, how much has your salary increased now?"

"Seven or eight to eight..." Mu Hanxia smiled, "It's doubled than before."

"Wow!" He Jing exclaimed, and made a gesture and punched her in the face, "Ask for a blow! Why do you want to say it?"
