Classic story of smoking hotel: business strategy written in American business textbooks

Incredibly, this smoking hotel, which is only 27 square meters, currently has 18 full-time employees. Except for 7 retirees, 1 1 people go to work every day. There are two classes a day, and five or six people in each class are crowded in a small shop full of cigarettes, wine and drinks and stand in front of the counter for a long time, but they are very busy. It is rare for such a small store to support so many employees, and its business strategy is not general. An international student who came back from the United States saw a balcony cigarette shop in Taiyuan and said: I saw an introduction of a building in an American business textbook.

In Taiyuan, there is a slogan: "buy real cigarettes, a building." Many foreign customers also envy shopping. Before the Spring Festival in 2007, a customer in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, heard a friend say that the cigarettes in a building in Taiyuan were genuine. On the one hand, he is afraid to buy fake cigarettes for the New Year. On the other hand, he thought that the Yaxiang Yellow Crane Tower brought to him by his friends tasted good, but there was no local sales point, so he called Mr. Wu to order 10 pieces of Yaxiang Yellow Crane Tower. Boss Wu was deeply moved and mailed it to him twice.

In a building, every employee regards the interests of the store as the fundamental interests and thinks that "doing a good job wholeheartedly" is the last word. As the leader of this team, Wu Baoping said: "What a building has today is the result of our joint efforts. We are all family. "

Wu Baoping also revealed the secret of why a 27-square-meter store can support 18 people: all employees in a building have the same belief-to be proud of an old brand. He said, "If there were no buildings, there would be no us. We will be with the time-honored brand. For me and my employees, this means life. "

"The Yellow Crane Tower is a building, and a building is a small building, but it only takes one floor to get there." Wu Baoping told reporters confidently.
