The management team was well prepared for the meeting. In addition to reporting on the progress of the store improvement measures, they also expressed their own opinions and made some targeted suggestions.
For instance, they talked about making cuts in the budget, with a focus on controlling variable costs that could be managed, to ensure that every penny was spent where it was needed most.
Another suggestion was to optimize staff structure by cutting redundant personnel and valuing employees who create worth.
Regarding the former, as long as it didn't affect employee income, Shen Yuan had no objections.
As for the latter, Shen Yuan didn't want to initiate layoffs during such a critical period, as it wouldn't bode well for team morale, so he vetoed the idea.
