Simei, as a family-owned pickles enterprise, has formed a traditional family management model after several generations' efforts: the general manager is elected by the family and is responsible for the operation. At the end of each year, he reports the business performance of the other family members for one year. According to the performance, the family members can vote to remove the general manager. However, once the general manager is elected by the family meeting, other members of the family can't interfere with its normal operation within one year. Jia Shuocheng, an 80-year-old Yangzhou pickles master, recalled that there were few Zhao clansmen in Simei pickles garden. Their strict family system prevented the normal operation of the enterprise from being disturbed, and the general manager had enough time to realize his business strategy.

Jia Shuo Cheng said that Zhao Shuyi, the owner of Simei Sauce Garden, was very thrifty. Once he went to Fuchun Tea House to eat noodles, he specifically told the bartender to put only half a topping, which became a topic of public discussion at that time, and his frugality was evident. Zhao Shuyi's business strategy tends to be conservative. In order to facilitate management and improve the quality of pickles, Simei played the slogan of "only this one, no other name" in Yangcheng, while Sanhe in the same period not only opened six semicolons in Yangzhou, but also started a business in Shanghai Shili Foreign Market and started a chain store business.

Regarding advertising, Simei has always insisted on word-of-mouth publicity. "Old people know that Simei's pickles are first-class in taste and color," an old man on Dongguan Street told reporters.

Sanhe took the lead in packaging with iron cans, and Simei got rid of the disadvantages of cronyism.
