The wealthy entrepreneur: I want to support millions of employees!.

Chapter 1006 Chaos Unleashed! Store Closure! Purchasing Rights! Marketing Expenses!
Many large companies are the same; talented people may not necessarily get promoted.

Sometimes you also need luck!

If superiors don't make mistakes, or if the company isn't in a crisis, it's difficult for many people to get ahead.

That's why I'm changing jobs!
Working for a rapidly growing company is the best thing ever!

Even Su Yang's company has this problem!

However, Su Yang's companies tend to expand rapidly, and with more and more subsidiaries, they can offer more and more positions!
"Let's talk!" Su Yang said earnestly to everyone. "Share your thoughts!"

Su Yang mainly looked at Shen Hao, Hua Jing, Xiang Weixin, and Xu Kaicheng, paying no attention to the other general managers, vice presidents, directors, and other senior executives!

If these people were truly capable, they would have helped the company recover long ago!

In the past few days, some of these executives have been proactively reporting to him about the company, and some have even wanted to resign...

However, he only made a clear statement to a few people, and those who wanted to resign were put on hold for now!
He also roughly understood the situation inside the company... It was a bit chaotic!

Xiang Weixin glanced at Su Yang: "Boss, we may still have to lay off staff and close the store!"

Su Yang asked expressionlessly, "How many employees will be laid off? How many stores will be closed?"

"If we're going to lay off staff, it'll be between 10,000 and 15,000! We can still use more temporary workers and labor dispatch workers!" Xiang Weixin said in a low voice. "As for the shops, we should close at least five stores; I've marked them all!"

Xiang Weixin handed Su Yang a report, which Su Yang glanced at before asking, "Anything else?"

What RT-Mart was most proud of back then was that it did not close a single store in 19 years.

However, Su Yang was also able to recognize reality, which was that many retail businesses were becoming increasingly difficult to operate.

Many shopping malls have truly declined, with hardly any foot traffic left!

"We need to manage procurement better!" Xiang Weixin said helplessly. "Procurement in some areas is very problematic!"

Su Yang looked up and asked, "How many stores have you been to?"

Ten companies!

Xiang Weixin was taken aback. Didn't the boss already know?
During the interview, he also explained the procurement issues of RT-Mart in some regions!

However, after glancing at the executives present, he quickly realized what was going on:

“I visited eight large supermarkets in the North China region of RT-Mart in my hometown, and two in Shanghai… There’s clearly a problem with the purchasing in my hometown. The same goods are priced higher not only than in local supermarkets, but also higher than in Shanghai… I’ve also contacted many friends from other places, and they’ve told me about this situation too!”

“Our RT-Mart is a very powerful leading chain supermarket in China, and our hypermarkets follow the strategy of offering high-quality products at low prices!” Su Yang looked at the group of executives, including Jiao Jianbin, the vice president in charge of purchasing, and said, “But the things we sell are more expensive than those in nearby supermarkets… Is that reasonable?”

Not only Su Yang looked at Jiao Jianbin, but everyone else did too!

Jiao Jianbin said in a low voice, "Chairman, the stores in each region also have purchasing rights!"

“But we need oversight!” Su Yang took a deep breath and said, “If they don’t do a good job, we might as well take back the purchasing power!”

"Chairman, we need to align the granularity and empower each store..."

"Alright!" Su Yang interrupted the other party rudely, then said to Xu Kaicheng, "Mr. Xu, it's your turn to speak!"

Su Yang didn't want to talk to Jiao Jianbin. During their last conversation, Jiao Jianbin used a lot of internet slang, which left Su Yang completely confused... which made him very anxious!

This guy's skills are really lacking, but he's a master at taking money. Anyway, he has no idea how this guy got to the position of vice president. For supply chain procurement, we should look to Weixin!

Ignoring Jiao Jianbin's disgusted expression, Xu Kaicheng said, "Last fiscal year, RT-Mart's marketing expenses exceeded 180 billion yuan. My idea is to cut marketing..."

This is something Su Yang cares about very much. Their annual marketing expenses of over 18 billion yuan are already higher than the current market value of Gaoxing Retail!
If we cut back on marketing, it will be easy for the company to make a profit!

Coincidentally, Xu Kaicheng is a marketing talent!
Moreover, these marketing expenses are clearly inflated!

Su Yang glanced at Vice President Zhang Shuming and Marketing Director Chen Hai... and felt a little annoyed again!

He thought for a moment and said, "President Xiang, put aside the large-scale layoffs and labor dispatch for now. You should focus on closing stores and procurement. Five stores can be closed, but we should also consider opening new stores!"

"Ok!"

"When we close the store, let's calculate employee compensation as n+1!"

Xiang Weixin looked at the finance manager, Xia Wenfu, who whispered, "Boss, we don't have much money left in our company's account!"

"It's alright!" Su Yang shook his head. "Let's see if the company has any assets that can be mortgaged. If all else fails, I'll pledge the shares of Gaoxing Retail!"

"All right!"

Seeing Su Yang say this, Xia Wenfu did not try to persuade him any further!
Seeing that Jiao Jianbin seemed to want to speak, Su Yang said coldly, "You will cooperate with Director Xiang's work!"

Jiao Jianbin looked at Wu Herong, who had his head down and seemed to be in a daze!
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"

He was essentially stripped of power!
Su Yang then looked at CFO Hua Jing: "CFO Hua, could you contact some banks and see if any are interested?"

Hua Jing nodded: "Yes, Chairman!"

Listed companies' shares are highly liquid, easy to value, and relatively easy to pledge to banks!

This isn't too difficult; the most important thing is how much you can extract and what the interest rate will be.

The recent sharp drop in Gaoxing Retail's stock price has resulted in a loss for those who pledged their shares!
"President Zhang, Director Chen!" Su Yang then looked at Zhang Shuming and Chen Hai, "You two should discuss with President Xu how to save on marketing expenses as a top priority... You could consider cooperating with Xinghuo Media; they're quite capable and can get you preferential rates!"

He knew perfectly well that there was something fishy going on in the marketing department, and the marketing director even wanted to resign!

Su Yang wasn't very angry about these people's embezzlement, since the money they had embezzled in the past wasn't his.

If it weren't for these parasites, high-end retail might have been even more expensive!
He certainly wouldn't let these people leave easily; he wanted to make another profit off them!
Even a small mosquito is still meat!
He also planned to get rid of the pests in a short period of time.

Ordinary employees earn four or five thousand or three or four thousand a month, while these headquarters executives earn hundreds of thousands or millions a year. Getting rid of them is obviously more cost-effective!
Not only can they make a profit, but they can also save a lot of money on layoffs.

He also needs a united management team, not a disorganized mess!
"Good boss!"

Faced with the somewhat assertive Su Yang, Zhang Shuming and Chen Hai had no choice but to agree!

After the meeting ended, Su Yang called over Zhao Guoli, whom he had appointed as the deputy manager of the purchasing department.

This person, formerly the deputy manager of the purchasing department at Xinyue Supermarket, has definitely been promoted from a local chain supermarket to the deputy manager of the purchasing department at Darun Supermarket!

Su Yang was quite confident in his abilities and character!
As soon as Zhao Guoli entered, Su Yang asked, "What? Did Liu Kai give any instructions?"

"Have!"

Zhao Guoli nodded.

To be honest, he's still very surprised!
He didn't know how his boss knew that Liu Kai had evidence of Jiao Jianbin accepting bribes from suppliers and was willing to report it!

He found an excuse to contact Liu Kai.

Liu Kai learned that he was the big boss's man, and that the big boss was dissatisfied with Jiao Jianbin. Things just fell into place so easily... It couldn't be easier!
