I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 436 [The first supermarket on Hong Kong Island]

Baiyou Group has carefully planned for more than a year, and the group's first supermarket, Baijia Supermarket, will finally open on July 7.

The first ParknShop supermarket is located at No. 112 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, where the middle class gathers on Hong Kong Island and has a high consumption level;
After all, ParknShop is the first supermarket on Hong Kong Island, so ParknShop Group naturally has to carefully consider the site selection to avoid mistakes.

At this time, the retail industry of Baiyou Group can be said to be in the forefront of Asia;
Metro Convenience Store (the only agent in Asia), Lane Crawford Department Store ([-]-year-old high-end department store), Daxin Department Store (mid-to-high-end department store), Zhonghua Department Store (mid-range), together with the current ParknShop brand, can be said to be strong.

Among them, Metro Convenience Store and Lane Crawford Department Store have made great contributions to the expansion of Baiyou Group;
Especially the success in Japan made Wu Guangyao very proud!
When Metro Convenience Store entered Japan, Japanese convenience stores still had zero foundation;

With years of mature experience and Wu Guangyao's later experience, it can be said that he quickly entered the market and achieved great success.

This made Japanese businessmen who have always been proud of the retail industry (department stores) feel an inexplicable blow!

Of course, the next Metro convenience store will face the attack of Japanese wolves!
However, Wu Guangyao believes that the retail industry of Baiyou Group will surely break through the wolves and develop stronger.

Mark is in Wu Guangyao's office, listening to his boss' instructions.

"Benjia Supermarket can be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants (Metro Group provided a management team), so I am not worried at all! You still have to work on the expansion of convenience stores and the preparation of a chain of pharmacies—— Wannings Pharmacy. This pharmacy mainly sells western medicine, and its subsidiary sells traditional Chinese medicine, health products, skin care products, cosmetics, etc.”

Mark nodded, yes, these are small things, he only needs to form a team and supervise it!
"Boss! After many inspections and evaluations, I think the Metro Convenience Store can open 24 hours a day!"

Wu Guangyao was a little hesitant. After all, once the 24-hour period is fully implemented, the operating costs will be much higher!
However, in the end Wu Guangyao agreed to the plan.

Wu Guangyao believes that there are two reasons for the 24-hour operation:

First, after 24 hours of operation, the overall competitiveness of Metro convenience stores has increased, which will make those Japanese conglomerates who have just entered this trip feel more pressure;
Second, after 24 hours of operation, will the emerging convenience store forces of Japan follow suit?If you don’t change it, you will lose your competitiveness; if you change it, you will be involved in a war of attrition; in terms of strength, can these Japanese consortiums compare to yourself, the richest man in the world?the answer is negative.

Wu Guangyao said: "Since it has been decided to open 24 hours a day, there are two points you should pay attention to!"

Mark immediately took out the paper and pen, and prepared to write it down. This foreigner is very good at things, and he looks like a decent learner from other executives.

"The first point is to design an eye-catching logo. The logo is designed based on the Arabic numeral 7, a horizontal bar, and the number 24; people can know at a glance that we are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week!"

Mark showed admiration on his face. The boss thought clearly about such a trivial matter, so he didn't know how he was so busy!

"Secondly, the business hours are longer, but food safety must be strictly enforced. Food that expires in one second cannot be sent to the market. But we can set a discount time, which is not only a promotion, but also a reduction in waste."

After listening to Wu Guangyao's two suggestions, Mark said in admiration: "The boss really thinks carefully, I admire it very much!"

Wu Guangyao waved his hand, he was modest, he didn't think about it himself, it was just the experience of later generations;

And these plans, even if Wu Guangyao didn't say it, the management would propose it;

I just don't know which company strictly enforces these.

24-hour convenience stores, even the Metro Group in Europe and the United States, have not yet been implemented;

But taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Guangyao will propose it to Kaila, so that Metro Group can consider it.

Then Wu Guangyao analyzed the development prospects of supermarkets on Hong Kong Island for Mark. Wu Guangyao was like a porter, and he liked to give his future experience directly to these executives;
These executives will continue to implement, and Wu Guangyao will supervise everyone as a future experiencer;
For example, Wu Guangyao walking into a Metro convenience store is like walking into a future convenience store, but if there is something different there, it must be that the management has not done a good job, and Wu Guangyao will put forward his own opinions.

"The development of supermarkets on Hong Kong Island will be different from that of European and American supermarkets. You should pay attention to it."

"Boss, please tell me!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "Europe and the United States have a large land area, and there are a lot of parking spaces for a supermarket, but in Hong Kong Island, this is unthinkable. Therefore, the development of our supermarket must be solved by having more outlets." This trouble; if there are more outlets, do we still lack parking spaces for customers?"

Mark nodded and said: "At least the situation will be greatly improved! Moreover, our containers can be packed compactly, which also makes up for the lack of space."

Mark's inference made Wu Guangyao very satisfied!
On the opening day of Baijia Supermarket, Wu Guangyao and Lin Yueru came to the scene in person, and even squeezed into the crowd to experience the customer's addiction.

As the saying goes, without investigation and experience, there is no right to speak!
Only when Wu Guangyao experienced it himself would he realize the difference from later generations and propose some improvements.

Lin Yueru saw that Wu Guangyao protected herself tightly, for fear of being taken advantage of by others, she couldn't help but slander in her heart, "Stingy man."

Wu Guangyao was really stingy. On Hong Kong Island, when that man stared at Lin Yueru a few more times, Wu Guangyao felt that he was provoking trouble!

Therefore, after entering the supermarket, Wu Guangyao clung to Lin Yueru tightly, and the female bodyguard naturally knew what the boss was worried about, so she could only cling to Lin Yueru too.

"How about we go out first, there are so many people!" Lin Yueru gave Wu Guangyao a white look, and said angrily.

Husband's protection, of course I feel very happy, after all, it shows that I am still very attractive;
But don't forget, I'm here to visit the supermarket today, isn't this seriously affecting my mood?

"Okay! There are too many people, and you are so beautiful, I am really worried!" Wu Guangyao said.

It is indeed true that although Lin Yueru is 40 years old this year, she is simply a top-quality mature woman, and her allure is greater than that of a girl in her 20s.

Of course, this kind of allure does not refer to Wu Guangyao's allure, but the eyes of other men tell Wu Guangyao.

Wu Guangyao and Lin Yueru are now married. Although Lin Yueru is still very beautiful, she is not obsessed with it.

After a simple experience, there was no problem. Wu Guangyao felt that he would try it again after the opening period was over.

At that time, we will be able to find some problems and make comments.

As the saying goes, whoever is the first to eat crabs must be the first to taste the sweetness;

ParknShop Supermarket really opened up the Hong Kong Island market, proving that supermarkets are suitable for Hong Kong Island in this period;
After all, Wu Guangyao deliberately controlled the time, because the first supermarket on Hong Kong Island in history was opened by Jardine Matheson in 1970;

Therefore, Baiyou Group established its own supermarket in 1968, which is completely in line with the social environment.
