Although Xiao Feng was not addicted to smoking, he couldn't help but take out a pack of cigarettes at this time, took out one and lit it for himself, and took a deep breath.

He raised his head, looked at Xia Hongtao, who was sitting behind Xiaolin and Zhou Jing, and stretched out his hand to call him to the front of the executive desk.

"What do you think about this?"

After a few days, he believed in Xia Hongtao's ability even more, and compared with Xiaolin, Zhou Jing, Tian Qing, and even Katya, this Xia Hongtao was the one who had really seen the big scene.

Especially in the domestic business circle, there are all kinds of tricks, this Xia Hongtao should have seen the most, and this guy should also be the person who has the best way to deal with this scene.

Xia Hongtao touched his chin, took the cigarette in front of Xiao Feng and lit one, and then said: "Actually, this matter broke out suddenly, at such a sensitive time, I deduce that there are three possibilities. ”

Everyone present pricked up their ears, Xia Hongtao took a puff of cigarette, and then continued.

"One may be the competitors of our celebrity chefs in the catering industry, or those who have been squeezed by us, or those who are still in business but are seriously threatened by us. Or an adversary who feels threatened by us, or a ghost that several forces have joined forces to do together. These people are very suspicious, after all, the rapid development of our celebrity chef manufacturing has threatened their survival, and even robbed them of market share, so it is normal for them to make trouble. ”

When Xia Hongtao said this, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, and indeed the process of the rise of celebrity chefs was very strong, and in this process, there were many Chinese fast foods with similar business content to them, which had been squeezed by them.

Many old Chinese fast food companies have also been robbed of a lot of business by them, so it is very possible that these companies are doing things behind the scenes.

But Xiao Feng didn't say anything, Xia Hongtao glanced at the boss's expression, and knew that the boss must have other ideas, maybe it coincided with him, so he continued.

"There is another possibility, which is that some companies that are eyeing us are doing things behind our backs. Because of this point in time, the choice is too coincidental. Just at the critical moment when we are about to acquire the Twin Towers, our own funds have been put into the regulatory account, if we break the negative news at this time, it will definitely affect the issuance of bank loans, and when the bank does not lend, or even draw loans, then our capital chain will be broken. At that time, not only will it offend the management committee, but it will not be easy to get back the two billion yuan we paid in advance, and the negative news will cause serious harm to our goodwill, affect the normal operation of our enterprise, and if there is a problem with the cash flow of the enterprise, it will be time for them to pick peaches. ”

Xia Hongtao said while paying attention to Xiao Feng's expression, and as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Feng had basically cleared his mind.

"Your judgment is exactly the same as my thoughts. And I took a look at the comments on the Internet, as well as the situation of our official Weibo being captured, it is clear that there is a water army leading the rhythm. And not long after this negative news broke out on the Internet, so soon there were traditional news media who called and asked for interviews, or asked us to clarify, when did these reporters become so sensitive? When did they care so much about our private catering enterprises? So I suspect that this is an organized, well-planned operation to hack us. ”

As soon as Xiao Feng said this, Xia Hongtao's expression also became active: "Mr. Xiao, if I guess correctly, it won't be long before our downstream suppliers come back to rebel and ask us to settle the funds for them!"

Celebrity chefs have been manufacturing and operating for so long and have developed so many packages, except for the beef, which Xiao Feng got from another world, the other ingredients are all large and stable suppliers found locally.

For example, vegetables, looking for a local vegetable company, the specifications of vegetables are very strict, and they must be cleaned quickly before they can be delivered.

Pork, fish, and other meats are also large suppliers found locally, all kinds of cooking oil, condiments, napkins, and even dinner plates and other tools, not to mention, there are special suppliers.

And the upstream with strong profitability like celebrity chef manufacturing, but these start-up suppliers are the favorite, not for anything else, just because celebrity chef manufacturing can make money, and doing business with them must make money, and it will flow for a long time!

But the bad thing is that celebrity chef manufacturing is also as strong as downstream, and the payment is generally settled after three months, which is also an unspoken rule in the industry, and everyone plays like this.

If there is really a capital party this time and deliberately digs a pit for Xiao Feng, then this downstream supplier will come to urge the payment, which will also be an inevitable bridge.

In the past, when the business was operating normally, they were given eight guts, and they didn't dare to come to the door to ask for payment, but now that the celebrity chef manufacturing capital chain is tight, these people will only be hairy, but once someone fanned the flames, then they will definitely not be able to sit still.

Even if they can't keep it, some of these people are involved in the conspiracy.

Xiao Feng turned his head to look at Katya: "How much money do we have in our account at the moment?"

"About 100 million is the profit of the recent period. ”

"Is it enough to cover the supplier's payment?"

"Enough. ”

"How many cooking bags do we have in our warehouse?"

"Enough, all of our stores are currently operating normally for three months. ”

"Okay, Katya, if the supplier comes to the door later and asks for the previous payment, then pay it to them. At the same time, we also told them that we will not cooperate with them in the future. ”

"Okay, got the boss. ”

"In addition, you should go to the factory immediately, keep an eye on the factory, and check the latest surveillance video for me to see if anyone is doing anything in production. ”

Xiao Feng was afraid that the other party would lose his mind and do things in the cooking bag, if it really caused food poisoning, it would be a big trouble.

Katya nodded, didn't talk nonsense, and immediately got up and went out.

Xiao Feng turned his head and looked at Xiao Lin: "You take a few people, use the fastest speed, to find all the branches across the country, according to the search on the video, one by one." I always feel that the layout of the back kitchen in this video is different from the planning and layout of the back kitchen of our branch. Every time you find one, take a video for me and send it to the micro-tube, the name is called the self-inspection process, so that consumers can rest assured, even if it turns out that the store is not ours, someone deliberately poured dirty water on us, and set up a bureau, we must also show our attitude, that is, to let consumers bother. In addition, the cost of the trip bill is recorded, we just want consumers to feel our attitude... ”

Xiao Lin didn't talk nonsense: "I know Mr. Xiao." ”

got up and went out, Xiao Feng had previously assigned him a team of ten people to be responsible for the inspection of branches across the country, which also came in handy.

Then he turned his head to Zhou Jing and Tian Qing and said: "Next, your work must first be explained to all the clerks, and you are absolutely not allowed to talk nonsense, and you will not accept any media interviews." To appease customers, you must be patient, but if someone makes trouble, I will also record it, and supervise the delivery of the cooking package, and never allow any 'waste', so as to prevent the opportunity for others to do tricks. The other thing is to appease our franchisees, tell them that we are self-checking, and there will be results in a few days... ”

Xiao Feng has already figured out his thoughts, so he explained the task in an orderly manner, and Xiao Hongtao, who was sitting in front of him, was also very pleased to see him perform like this.

It seems that Mr. Xiao is really a person who is born to do big things, at the beginning, he was obviously very panicked, but he calmed down so quickly, and he was able to come up with a way to deal with it, and this time, he finally didn't follow the wrong person.

"Lao Xia, you just said that there is a third possibility? Tell me, what is the possibility?"

"The third possibility is that our branch may really operate in violation of regulations in the background, and it was photographed as a result!"

Xia Hongtao said very seriously, sometimes when you encounter mold, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen.

But Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, why are you so confident?"

"Because these people don't understand our transportation process, when our food packages are delivered, in order not to affect the taste of the prepared meals, it is absolutely forbidden to freeze and transport. Not only containers, but also refrigerated trucks, the temperature we require to be set is about minus 5 degrees. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for our cooking bags to be frozen with ice, and our cooking bags are transported in segmented isolation packaging, and it is absolutely impossible for many cooking bags to be piled up in a large bag and finally frozen into a big lump. So after just one look at this video, I knew there was something wrong with it. ”

When Xia Hongtao heard Xiao Feng say this, he immediately clapped his hands happily: "Since there is such evidence, it will be easy to do." ”

"Oh, what do you already think?"

Xiao Feng turned his head and asked Xia Hongtao, and Xia Hongtao nodded with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, when ordinary enterprises encounter such a thing, they will definitely have a headache, after all, Chinese people are very sensitive to food safety and hygiene issues, even if our company proves its innocence in the end, it will leave a bad impression, and this time our enemy is menacing, and has made very detailed preparations, even if we want to wash white, it is not so easy." ”

Xia Hongtao's words, Xiao Feng very much agreed, in the era of self-media, once you are a catering company, once you are splashed with dirty water.

So if your company wants to launder it, it will take a lot of effort, not only to spend money to level the media, but also to spend money to get those self-media big Vs, and often spend money to maintain relationships, which is a very large investment.
