Chapter 17 Intensive Preparations
The reeds by the river have changed from the sparse sparse at the beginning to the reed marsh today. Every morning, when the sun emerges from the green mountains on the other side, the morning mist has not yet dissipated, it is the most beautiful time of the day. If you ignore the ships on the river, everything in front of you is a simple and natural landscape painting.
Feng Yiping especially likes the wind at this time, which gently blows on his face, sometimes making you unable to help but close your eyes to experience it. No wonder so many songs and poems are written, "Intoxicated in the spring breeze."
However, this spring, only in the morning, he can have time to express his feelings. He has to go to the warehouse to help at noon and evening.
Five stores are being renovated day and night, and the warehouse is slowly becoming real warehouses.
The training of the twenty clerks has come to an end. Of course, there is still training at night, but during the day, they have already started working. They have helped assemble the shelves, and then, according to the planning of the ERP system, they have clarified the areas one by one.
Don’t think this is a trivial matter. Anyone who has been on the ERP system knows that the troubles when using the inventory system in a warehouse that has been operated according to old habits are more difficult than taking a thorough inventory of the warehouse several times.
Moreover, when I go to the system, it is difficult to get the stock items outward, and I have to make a lot of trouble to explain to the customer, such as "The things are obviously there, why can't I ship them to me?"
After these preliminary work were done, the goods were shipped one after another, so their current job was to help transport the goods one by one.
In the yard outside the warehouse, the original desks became dining tables, because most of the people in the company were busy here during the day. So three meals a day were all solved here. When Feng Yiping arrived, everyone was queuing up to make meals.
Seeing him coming, Zhou Xinyu and Hong Haoran came over. Feng Yiping signaled, and Zhou Xinyu took out the key. Open the warehouse door, and suddenly, a mixed fragrance came to his face, which smelled better than Feng Yiping's childhood convenience store.
The empty warehouse is now filled with rows of shelves, with four floors high. Now some stalls are filled with colorful and various products.
"How is the system?" Feng Yiping and the two of them looked over row by row and asked Hong Haoran, who had been busy on the front line these days.
"It's pretty good at the moment, mainly because the warehouse has not been put into use yet. Our work is much easier. If it is the warehouse that is already operating, it will be really not easy."
Feng Yiping knew, "Is there any problem?"
"Not yet, let's check and improve when it starts to work!"
Feng Yiping likes Hong Haoran. He has the rigor of a science and engineering man, but he really won’t say anything that is definitely fine in order to leave a good impression in front of his boss.
"If it runs smoothly, then this system is really a powerful tool." Zhou Xinyu also said.
Zhou Xinyu and the others have also invested great enthusiasm in this matter. The supermarket he used to work in had not yet been used in a similar system. He also understood the functions of this software developed by Zhitong Company. If it can really run smoothly, it will not only greatly improve work efficiency, improve data accuracy, save manpower and material resources. It can also greatly save financial resources, keep inventory at a scientific and reasonable level, and accelerate capital turnover.
For him personally, being able to participate in such a job also added a considerable amount to his resume.
Of course, otherwise why would I have to spend so much effort to develop this system first? Feng Yiping honestly accepted his complimentary words.
Feng Yiping looked at the herringbone ladder next to the shelf, "I still have to buy a forklift so that the entire pallet can be placed upwards without having to hand it up one by one like now."
"There is enough manpower at present, so this is not very urgent, but I will definitely have to do it in the future, otherwise I will just carry one piece and at least four or five people will be provided." Zhou Xinyu said.
"Then buy it!" Feng Yiping suffered such a loss later. He put a few dozen kilograms of motors on a shelf two or three meters high. After an hour, his hands were sore and his waist couldn't straighten.
“How many suppliers are willing to support the promotion at the time of opening?”
On the day of opening, there will definitely be promotional and reward activities. It is impossible for the company to pay all these expenses, and the suppliers will have to bear some of them.
But this job is definitely more difficult, and any industry is bullying newbies.
A company like Youjia, a lot of suppliers, especially those internationally renowned brands, such as two Coke, will not consider supporting you at all. Only after you increase the scale and quantity later can you be qualified to negotiate with him.
Of course, when Youjia Company is on the right track and the outlets are formed, the initiative will be in your own hands. No matter what brand you are, you must pay the entry fee before entering the market. If you want to place it in a golden location like the end and the middle of the shelves, you must have additional conditions. When encountering days like large public holidays and anniversary stores, you must naturally provide promotional support based on sales points.
However, at their current scale, this is the first time to purchase goods. It is only a good wish to provide enough support from those manufacturers.
"Not ideal," Zhou Xinyu was a little upset. Feng Yiping invited him to a high salary. Isn't it because he has some influence in the industry?
"Mr. Feng, I want to take a day or two to get out and grind with those familiar manufacturers. Even if I give up my old face, I must also get more support for the company." Zhou Xinyu, who has always been elegant, was a little ruthless and his voice was a little sharp, so he seemed a little slim.
Feng Yiping held back his laughter, "It's good to fight for more, but you don't have to be too persistent. Business people are like this. We can understand it without seeing rabbits or eagles, but," Feng Yiping changed his voice, "Understanding does not mean not caring, wait, they will come to ask us soon. At that time, what they didn't do today will be redouble our request."
The noodle shop belongs to parents. My uncle is now in charge of the decoration company. Youjia convenience store is the way Feng Yiping chose for himself in recent years. He has full confidence in making it well.
Half a month later, the decoration team was completed, and the decoration team stayed for another day until twelve o'clock in the evening to help install the shelves and freezers in the store. Hong Haoran brought Zhitong Company's people to install and debug the system terminal.
After all the orders are delivered to the warehouse and all the data is entered, the warehouse starts to ship to each branch. Then everyone spends a day and a night to place these products in the designated locations on the shelves in the store.
After the arrangement was completed, it took another day to code and unit price for each item on the shelves.
Then, Huang Xinyu and Hong Haoran spent two days checking one by one in the store. Some problems found were reworked for one or two days. Finally, by the beginning of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, all preparations were finally ready. They conducted a day of trial operation, and the results were ideal, and no omissions or improvements were found.
After the trial business ended, Feng Yiping said a few words to everyone, "Thank you all for a while. Starting tomorrow, the company will have two days off. Of course, don't play around these two days. Relax and relax your body and mind, and adjust your condition to the best. I hope that on the day of opening, everyone can show their best mental state and fullest enthusiasm." (To be continued...)
