Chapter 664: Make it conspicuous
Chapter 664: Make it conspicuous
Duan Mingjie raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, "My wife's ideological consciousness is very high!"
"Stop hating me," Lu Yao patted him and then asked, "Then we have to return to the capital early."
Duan Mingjie hummed, "I plan to go back tomorrow."
Since Chengcai told him, things are very difficult.
Duan Mingjie told his family that he would leave tomorrow.
Hearing this, Gu Fulan blinked, "Could it be that Feng Wei opened a shop and stole our customers away?"
Last year, Feng Wei and Duan Mingjie separated and worked on the construction site. Duan Mingjie returned the workers he brought to him and gave him fifty additional workers, but Feng Wei did not do a good job.
Later, when the country allowed individual businesses, he opened a store and borrowed money from Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie: "Feng Wei has not been opening his store for a day or two. His store is far away from us, so it won't have much impact."
Gu Fulan said no more.
Lu Yao: "Mom, it's not a big deal. Don't take it to heart. We can just wait until we go back to understand the situation."
That night, everyone packed up their things, talked to Duan Mingcheng and his wife, and set off before dawn the next day.
Zheng Weiguo and Duan Minghua drove two jeeps and returned to the capital all day and night.
After arriving home, Duan Mingjie followed Duan Chengcai to the store without even drinking water.
Duan Mingjie first summoned the clerks from several stores next to the department store for a small meeting.
A dozen shop assistants stood in a row, feeling uneasy and not daring to look up at him.
The boss has been away for more than a month, and their sales are getting worse day by day.
Duan Mingjie seems to be easy to talk to, but in fact he has a deep mind and has high requirements for his employees.
Duan Mingjie pulled up his chair and sat down, "Don't be nervous, just tell me what's going on."
A young man boldly said, "About ten days ago, sales started to drop. We didn't pay attention to it at first, thinking that summer was almost over and there were fewer people buying clothes, so it was normal for sales to drop. Later, your brother came over to inspect before going home. , we also talked about the situation.”
Duan Chengcai nodded, "Third brother, they did tell me."
Duan Mingjie hummed lightly, "Continue."
"Who knew that after your brother left, sales dropped suddenly and the quantity was outrageous. We noticed something was wrong, but we couldn't contact you. Fortunately, your brother came back quickly, so we had the opportunity to explain the situation."
They didn't sell a few pieces of clothing this month, so don't even think about commission.
Duan Mingjie raised his eyes and looked at them one by one. More than a dozen of them did not dare to express their anger.
"Have any suspicious people come to the store recently?"
Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you.
Duan Mingjie's eyes were filled with a cold chill, "Do you still need to look at others?"
Everyone's hearts were trembling, and they quickly looked away, lowered their heads and began to think.
"About half a month ago, a well-dressed man came to the store and asked about the prices of men's clothing in the store, but he didn't buy any of them."
Duan Mingjie looked away and asked calmly, "What does it look like?"
The clerk shook his head, "I can't remember clearly."
"Then tell me what you remember."
The clerk clenched his hands tightly under Duan Mingjie's gaze, and his palms became sweaty from nervousness.
"He looks to be in his thirties, and he is very impressive. He doesn't look like he came from a small family."
Duan Mingjie: "Where are the others? Did they find anything unusual?"
More than a dozen people shook their heads.
Duan Mingjie stood up with his knees pressed, and glanced at them one by one, "LuLu Clothing was the first to open in Beijing. There were no competitors before, you just competed internally, but now we have unknown competitors, and there will be more in the future." There are more.”
"But this is not a bad thing. Only with competition can we make progress. I need my employees to be able to face problems head-on, solve them, and move forward together, instead of just shrinking back when there are difficulties. I don't need such employees."
Everyone nodded, "Boss Duan, we understand."
Duan Mingjie raised his hand to signal them to stop talking, "I don't want to hear guarantees. What I want to see is your results. Within ten days, I want to see everyone's results. Also, put an end to all unfair internal competition. Once I found out that there are people who are doing small things behind the scenes for their own benefit. Lu Lu Clothing will never hire me. I believe that you all can distinguish between legitimate and unfair competition."
"Our aim is to do our best to retain every customer who comes into the store. If you don't have this ability and your colleagues do, then shut up."
"Any question?"
Everyone shook their heads, "No."
"Then let's go back each other. I'll come back tomorrow."
Duan Mingjie called to Duan Chengcai to leave together.
Duan Chengcai followed, "Third brother, could it be that the one who came to ask for the price was the store owner, and deliberately sold it to customers at a lower price, so ours was not sold?"
Duan Mingjie put his hands on his hips and bit the corners of his lips, "You can't make a conclusion easily yet. You go to the construction site now, bring a few acquaintances with you, and go around to see if there are any newly opened clothing stores. When you find them, go into the store and ask about the price. Remember Come on, make it more conspicuous."
Duan Chengcai frowned, "Third brother, we don't have a local accent. If the other party is really secretly against us, they must know our situation. If I take someone there, wouldn't that be exposed?"
Duan Mingjie: "I just want you to be exposed."
Duan Chengcai: "What do you mean?"
"If it's a serious store opening and formal competition, I won't take it to heart. After all, there will be more than two or three stores opening in the future. I can't guard against this one but not the next one."
"But if it's vicious competition, they are in the dark and we are in the open. If you go, you are telling them that I already know about their existence."
He also arranged for some local people to inquire.
There will always be some clues.
Duan Chengcai said with admiration: "Third brother, I have learned a lot from following you."
Duan Mingjie: "Don't be poor, get it done right away."
Duan Chengcai: "Okay!"
Duan Mingjie took the bus to Zheng Hongye's unit, and his secretary took him to Zheng Hongye's office.
Zheng Hongye poured him a cup of tea, "Didn't you say it will take a while? Why are you back so soon? Is my third uncle back?"
Duan Mingjie took it, thanked him, and drank it in one breath.
"The clothing store encountered some problems, so I came back early."
"What happened to the clothing store?"
Duan Mingjie briefly talked to him.
Zheng Hongye understood, "Tell me, what can I do for you?"
Duan Mingjie smiled. Sure enough, you don't need so much nonsense when talking to smart people.
"From the end of last year to now, more than half a year has passed. I am not the only one who has opened a clothing store, but many local people have also opened it. Although it has had some impact on our clothing store, it will not be as serious as this time."
"I have arranged for my brother to go and inquire about it. My brother has spread the news in the past. Now, I need some local people to inquire about it."
Zheng Hongye nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I will find some people who have no contact with the Zheng family to find out, and there will never be any flaws."
Duan Mingjie smiled gratefully, "Thank you, brother."
