Chapter 78

With the "Smart Retail: Energizing Innovation" project fully rolled out across ten new pilot stores, Li Banjia was constantly on the move. He delegated authority to Lin Wei, Wang Mengmeng, Sun Qian, and others, tasking each with leading a team to handle store guidance and data collection for their respective regions. Under his meticulous tuning and supported by a standard operating procedure system, the New Media Innovation Department functioned like a high-efficiency machine, demonstrating remarkable execution. Just one month later, the preliminary data from the first ten expanded pilot stores reached Li Banjia’s desk. The average time customers spent in-store had increased by 12%, new member registration rates rose by 18%, and sales of products related to the pilot program grew by an average of 7%. Some stores even became local "internet-famous check-in spots" thanks to the introduction of novel AR interactive experiences or successful community-driven fission activities. "Well done!" Li Banjia looked at the report card and nodded with satisfaction. "It seems my 'Imperial Art of Strategy'... or rather, my 'scientific management method,' is quite effective after all!"
