Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 360 Inspecting American Companies (2)

Starlight Toy Store.

Several children of different skin colors walked into the toy store.

"Kids, what toys do you want to buy? Our Rubik's Cube is an exclusive product here."

Seeing these children coming in, two store clerks walked over to greet them.

"I want to buy a Rubik's Cube." "I want to buy a plane." "I want to buy a tank."

These children talked about their different needs.

The two store clerks each took several children to different toy areas, where there were toys that the children wanted.

Children themselves are quite playful at that age, and there are only two store clerks among many children, so it seems a little hectic.

There are a total of five employees in this store. Except for one who is greeting other customers on the other side, the other two stay motionless at the cashier. They have no intention of helping, but are chatting and laughing.

"Miss, please help me settle the bill."

A young man came to the checkout counter carrying a Rubik's Cube and several other toys.

The two female employees may have reached a happy point in their conversation, so they covered their mouths and laughed and continued chatting without paying the young man's bill immediately.

Seeing this, the young man said dissatisfiedly: "I'm very busy, okay, do you still want to do business?"

"Why are you urging me?"

One of the female employees muttered, but still settled the bill for the young man, while the other one packed the toys for the settlement.

The young man didn't argue. After paying the bill, he slowly walked out of the store with his bag in hand. He looked back at the store from time to time. The two employees were too busy greeting the children. The one at the cashier

However, the two employees continued to chat after settling the bill, with no intention of helping.

"BOSS!"

As soon as he came outside, Eric Davis greeted the young man nervously.

The person who can be called BOSS by Eric Davis is of course Lin Baicheng. Starlight Company is different from New Century Software Company in that it has a large number of stores. He can't visit them one by one, but he still chooses a few to check out.

No problem.

Handing the bag in his hand to Qin Lan who was approaching, Lin Baicheng said jokingly: "You are here. It seems that you are very well-informed."

Eric immediately explained: "No, it's because the manager of the toy store where BOSS went to met you before. After BOSS left, he remembered you and called me to tell me."

Lin Baicheng walked toward the extended Lincoln parked at the corner in front, and asked as he walked: "When did you come here?"

"I came over when Secretary Qin arranged for those children to enter the store."

Eric was one step behind Lin Baicheng.

"Then why don't you just go in?"

Lin Baicheng raised his eyebrows, he thought Eric had just arrived.

"Boss, you have your own plans, how dare I go in and destroy them, and this will also allow you, BOSS, to see the true situation in the store."

The real reason is that this store is not the first one that his boss has visited, it is already the fifth one. There is no point in stopping Eric now. Instead, it will make his boss have opinions about him. He is not stupid.

Lin Baicheng said with emotion: "I visited several stores and there are a lot of problems."

"This is all due to my improper management. I will definitely strengthen my management in the future."

Eric didn't ask any questions, but sincerely admitted his mistake.

"You are at fault, and the company's management needs to be strengthened."

Lin Baicheng did not save face for Eric and directly stated that his management was not in place.

"Yes Yes!"

Eric admitted his mistake.

While talking, the two of them walked to the corner, where the extended Lincoln stopped. Lin Baicheng greeted Qin Lan and Eric to get in the car, and asked the bodyguards to drive to Starlight Company.

On the way to Starlight Company in the car.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "How many stores does the company have now?"

Eric replied: "There are more than 600 in total, covering cities and counties with relatively developed economies and large populations. For this purpose, the company has also loaned US$30 million."

"I know about the loan. You can't get the loan without my approval."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly, and then asked: "If we want to cover the United States, how many stores will we need to open?"

Eric made an estimate, so he immediately replied: "About 1,000 stores. However, with the domestic economic development and population increase, the number of stores will also increase. The specific increase will depend on the domestic economic development speed and population.

The speed is increasing.”

"Let's just say it for now."

Lin Baicheng listened and said: "So there are still three to four hundred stores left. How much capital does the company have left now? How much capital is needed to open these stores?"

Eric said: "Now the company doesn't have much funds left. If you want to increase the number of stores, you can either continue to take loans or BOSS invest a sum of funds, or you can no longer invest and choose to use the monthly profits to open stores, and slowly

Increase the number of stores opened.”

"As for the lack of funds for the three to four hundred stores, it is about 40 million U.S. dollars. The places where these stores are to be opened are all areas with not very good economies, so the store prices are relatively cheaper, with an average of about 100,000 U.S. dollars.

Opened a store."

"Well, I will ask Bella to talk to Goldman Sachs to see if we can get Starlight Company to loan another 20 to 30 million US dollars. If that doesn't work, I will make another investment in the company."

Lin Baicheng nodded. The Galaxy Games console should be developed in the middle of next year, which will take about half a year. By then, the wider the channels, the better, so that it can be sold to more people and generate more sales.

Eric said: "Actually, the company does not have to open a thousand stores. Some of the more remote or less populated areas are fine if there are no stores for the time being, so a capital of about 20 million US dollars is enough."

"okay, I get it."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then changed the topic: "I visited a few stores before, and I didn't find any big problems, but there were a lot of small problems. Some employees didn't work seriously, just chatted at work, and their attitude towards customers was not the same.

Very good, the employees don't help each other, etc. More importantly, most of the people with problems are white people. I won't name the specific stores. Please remember to take care of them later. I invited them to work for me.

, rather than letting them be the uncles."

"BOSS, don't worry, I will strengthen the management of my employees after I go back and never let this happen again."

Eric responded immediately, but he was secretly relieved. Fortunately, the problem was not serious and the boss did not pursue it.

Lin Baicheng really didn't find any big problems, so he just reminded Eric and let Eric handle the details. He was not prepared to go to war.

Soon after, Lincoln stopped outside Starlight Company, and Lin Baicheng and others went inside. He will stay here all day long.
