Chapter 176: Lower your posture first to get things done easily
Gu Ming originally decided to leave early in the morning, but Gao Wantong called specifically and said that their reform plan had encountered too many problems and wanted to ask for advice in person.
Of course, it's not Gu Ming's nature to be helpful.
Except for Wei Yanling, no one has ever taken advantage of him.
But there was nothing he could do. Mr. Gao gave him too much this time. He was directly spending money to hire him as a reform consultant for the mall. He thought about it and felt that it was not his style to make money but not make money.
After arriving at the parking lot, he first called Gao Wantong, but the other party didn't answer, and then came back after a minute.
Baihuagu Mall is large in size, covers a wide range of areas, and has a deep influence.
Once you decide to transform, it will definitely affect the whole body. Not only the mall itself will be affected, but suppliers and partners will also have to give an explanation, so Gao Wantong is meeting with several important people. Partners, can't get away from each other for a while.
"Mr. Gu, you can go directly to the conference room on the fifth floor. Several managers from the mall are there. You can chair the meeting."
"I'm taking the consultant's money, which doesn't include the cost of the meeting."
"What a fool, you surnamed Gu, are you too much of a dog?!"
"No, no, just kidding, you can leave the meeting to me."
Gu Ming hung up the phone and came to the conference room at the end of the corridor.
This was the first time Xinghuo and Baihua Valley Mall discussed cooperation, so he was already familiar with the business.
1. Entering the door, the first thing that comes into view is the circular conference table, with two men and three women sitting around it, including Yan Fang, a total of 3 managers.
Some of them were smoking cigarettes, some had their legs crossed, and some were playing with their mobile phones. It seemed that they were also waiting for Gao Wantong, and they had been waiting for a long time, with boredom written all over their faces.
Gu Ming walked in and was about to show off and yell for a meeting. However, before he could speak, he was stopped by Zhao Zuchang who was smoking.
"Go get me a glass of water, it's cold."
"?"
Gu Ming took the cup and was stunned for a moment, then walked to the water dispenser in the corner and took a cup of water.
"I also want 1 cup, warm water, not too hot or too cold."
Immediately afterwards, Bao Wenping, the manager of the administrative department, also handed over a cup, and his requirements were even stricter than Zhao Zuchang's.
Gu Ming could only put down the cup and went over to pour the other cup.
But before the water was poured, someone called him again, telling him to go down and buy two cups of coffee.
Yan Fang didn't realize until now that Gu Ming had come in and was being used as a waiter. She was about to open her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Gu Ming first with his eyes and shaking his head.
He brought the water and placed it in front of Bao Wenping, and then walked towards the chair in front of the table, where Gao Wantong usually sat.
"It's all here, right?"
"Mr. Gao is in a meeting with suppliers and can't get away. Please drink water first and listen to what I have to say briefly."
Gu Ming sat on the chair and spoke slowly while scanning the crowd.
Zhao Zuchang's expression was stunned. The cigarette butt in his hand instantly fell off his fingertips and fell directly onto his crotch, burning a small hole. He was so frightened that he quickly got up and slapped it.
Bao Wenping was even more interesting. She just drank a sip of water and was holding it in without squirting, but a small water column still came out of her mouth.
The entire conference room was silenced by the fire and water disaster, and everyone looked at Gu Ming in surprise.
"Well, let me introduce to you. This is Gu Ming, the reform consultant hired by President Gao. He wrote the project book you read before."
Yan Fang quickly explained Gu Ming's identity so that these people would not be embarrassed later.
The voice fell, and the audience was shocked.
Zhao Zuchang and Bao Wenping's scalps were numb, wondering why this consultant was so young. He looked only in his 2s, almost like an intern.
"Gu...consultant, I'm really sorry. You are too young. I thought you were a new intern."
Gu Ming waved his hands to indicate that everyone didn't need to take it to heart, then coughed and said, "Where did I just say it?"
Yan Fang said: "You said you wanted to say a few words."
"Oh, let me just say a few words. I read your plan last night. It's well written, but it's difficult to put it into practice. One reason is that the things you've come up with are too expensive. The Foot Washing City Cinema looks like some bullshit. We have to do something if we are forced to do it, but these projects not only require large investments but also take a long time. It is very likely that we will burn ourselves to death halfway through the reform."
"Another one, we must focus on how to ensure a balance of payments during the reform process and ensure that funds will not be cut off."
"My suggestion is to make changes step by step. First consider cutting off the cumbersome and low-profit parts, and introduce projects with large passenger flow and low cost. What do you think?"
After the words fell, several managers began to discuss in whispers.
This is the benefit of having someone to think about. When someone asks a question, you only need to think of the answer.
"Consultant Gu, I think the garment district is not very profitable, but it currently occupies a large area and requires a lot of manpower. The warehousing and logistics costs are also high. How about cutting off this area first?"
"Cut off the furniture city. The furniture city is the one with the highest storage and logistics costs."
"I think the cosmetics and jewelry area should be cut off first. If online shopping really develops, this area will definitely become very embarrassing."
Gu Ming listened to everyone's discussion and finally patted the table: "I'll give you 5 minutes to summarize your thoughts, and then follow me somewhere."
"?"
Ten minutes later, three cars departed from the underground garage of Baihua Valley Mall and arrived at the busiest commercial street in the city center.
There are ktv, bar, billiard room, milk tea shop, clothing store, small commodity city, gourmet alley, manicure shop, beauty shop, and various restaurants. At the end is a movie theater and foot washing city. It can be said that there is everything you want. What.
The five managers got out of the car and stood at the street corner, looking at Gu Ming with puzzled expressions.
"Mr. Gu, what are we going to do?"
"It's hard to dream about things, so your task today is to go shopping, write down the business items that you think are suitable, ask about the cost, observe the passenger flow, and think about whether you can move it to a mall to do it, a street It’s actually not much different from a shopping mall.”
The five managers suddenly realized it and started shopping immediately.
Gu Mingze squatted on the road, turned on his mobile phone and played Snake for a long time.
The business model, business projects and regional layout of this street have many similarities with the comprehensive shopping malls of later generations. Let these managers take a tour and they will definitely gain something.
If Gao Wantong's pockets were deep enough and he could just spend money to clone all the business items on the street into the mall, then the reform would be completed in one fell swoop.
But he definitely doesn't have the courage, and he probably doesn't have the financial resources. After all, if it were to be cloned as a whole, Baihua Valley wouldn't be able to operate for at least a year.
Therefore, it is the safest way to move the project with the lowest cost but the most traffic attraction first.
Gu Mingyi was upset. He knew the final answer but was unwilling to tell it directly.
On the one hand, doing so will make you appear inscrutable.
On the other hand, if you give the answer directly, how can you earn the consulting fees later?
"The clothing section cannot be cut off. If I go shopping and try on some good-looking clothes, I will probably wear them and leave. However, the middle-aged and elderly clothing section can be cut off and combined with the beauty and jewelry section into the same section!"
"Let's cut off the home appliance section and the furniture store. I will never bring back a refrigerator or a sofa when I go shopping!"
"The traffic of hot pot restaurants is so fucking huge. I must have one of these. It's so delicious."
"Actually, if we think about it openly, I think we can even build a food alley in the mall and eat directly when we are tired of shopping."
"Cinema theaters must be launched. This is very popular, but as Mr. Gu said, the initial cost is too high, so it can be put to the last step."
The five managers walked around for a while, and all of a sudden they were filled with thoughts. It felt like their wild imaginations were gradually coming to fruition.
I really couldn't catch anything when I was sitting in the conference room daydreaming, but when I walked around this bustling commercial street, many things jumped out involuntarily.
"Mr. Gu, you are obviously a consultant. They asked you to pour water just now. Why did you pour it? How shameless?"
Yan Fang bought two sausages from a street stall and handed one to Gu Ming.
"It's true that I'm a consultant, but after all, I'm too young and it's hard to convince others. I need to lower my profile and serve them first to make them feel ashamed of me. Only then will they listen to me. After all, I'm taking money from others. , we still need to do something practical.”
Yan Fang's expression became very complicated after hearing Gu Ming's words.
It has been five years since she entered the society, but she can't do what Gu Ming just said, and she can't even think of it.
