Chapter 184: Third Decision
Zhou Ze saw that the time was basically ripe, so he immediately released an advertisement, and the content of the advertisement was very simple: Shuwen Food Company was looking for an agent and distributor.
This advertisement, which seemed to only attract the attention of small companies, really gave chicken blood to some people who had already squatted and were ready to make a move, which made them immediately excited, and almost blew up the phone of Shuwen Food Company.
At this moment, in the chairman's office in the building of Shuwen Food Company.
In addition to Zhou Ze, Jiang Shuyu and Qin Yanshu, there was another girl in the room who was a beautiful guest with a dignified and generous demeanor.
The girl has beautiful silver-white long hair, coiled up with three silver hairpins, and looks quite noble and charming like an ancient concubine.
This girl is also a member of the assistant team, named Zhu Yuan. She has a high talent in business operations, and it is precisely because Zhou Ze saw this that he directly let her enter the company, and when she was away, she acted as the chairman of the board of directors.
"Chairman, today there are 23 companies that want to cooperate with us and become our distributors. Zhu Yuan reported.
Zhou Ze nodded, then turned to Qin Yanshu and said with a smile: "Yanshu, what do you think we should do now?"
"Didn't you plan to wait for our market to be stable before thinking about cooperation? Now that the market is basically stable, right? Qin Yanshu wondered.
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "No, the market is far from stable now. We just have a certain amount of popularity, but our reputation has not yet been fully established, and the brand effect is still weak, and it will take at least two years to wait until the market is fully mature. ”
"Then, then why do you want to cooperate now?" Qin Yanshu asked in surprise.
Zhou Ze raised the corners of his mouth and said: "What do you think is the most lacking in developing our market now?"
Qin Yanshu thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "The support rate of the citizens?"
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "No, what we lack most now is connections, connections from all sides. Without connections, it is difficult for us to move forward in whatever direction we do. ”
"However, now that our company's instant noodles are selling so well, as long as we are willing, we can't just pick them, so why worry about connections?" Qin Yanshu frowned.
Zhou Ze chuckled and said, "All you see is the current heat, but have you ever thought about what is left after the heat of this period has passed?"
"Yes...... What is it?" Qin Yanshu asked suspiciously.
Zhou Ze didn't answer directly, but turned to Zhu Yuan and said, "Yuanyuan, you come and tell her." ”
Zhu Yuan immediately bowed and said, "Yes, master." A severe market rally is expected after the hot period for commodities has subsided. At that point, the company's share price is likely to fall sharply, which will damage the company's reputation and severely limit the sales of goods. Therefore, this must be avoided. ”
"Wait," Qin Yanshu interrupted Zhu Yuan's words and said, "Why did you say that the market would definitely rebound after that?"
Zhu Yuan showed a gentle smile and said, "Miss Qin, this is the law of market development, and it is a foreseeable result. It is because of ignoring this latent crisis that many promising new companies have lost the best period of development and cut off their own back roads. ”
"But you haven't talked about the most critical issue yet, what is your basis for asking?" Qin Yanshu said aggressively.
Zhou Ze then responded: "Yanshu, think about it, now all walks of life are full of praise about our products, and some negative reviews will soon be overwhelmed by widespread praise, even if it causes a storm for a period of time, no one will remember." ”
"But once the craze has passed, the negative reviews have increased significantly, and that's when people focus on these flaws, which in turn have an impact on our company's reputation. ”
"The current company is still very weak in terms of heritage and economic strength, once it is affected by this kind of impact, it is easy to become untenable, and even cause our company to be acquired by other large companies, and all our efforts will be in vain. ”
Only then did Qin Yanshu understand what Zhou Ze meant, and then asked, "So, you mean that as long as you cooperate with these big companies, you will avoid this situation?"
Zhou Ze smiled indifferently and said: "The purpose of this is, of course, to prolong the period of the boom. Using this time, we can better establish our corporate image and consolidate our reputation. A market rally is inevitable, but by doing so, we are able to keep our losses to a minimum. ”
"So, have you decided which companies to work with?" Zhu Yuan asked next.
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "It's not up to me to decide, it's up to her." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Ze set his eyes on Qin Yanshu beside him.
The latter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I, I don't know anything about these companies, how do I know which companies I should cooperate with?"
Zhou Ze smiled indifferently and said: "Didn't you say that after you made a major decision in the third company, you decided whether to participate in the management of the company in the future or not? This is your last decision, this time, I will not give you any hints." Yuanyuan, give me that. ”
Zhu Yuan nodded, and immediately handed over a list to Zhou Ze's hands, and this list was a list of companies that wanted to cooperate with Shuwen Food, as well as the contact information of the corresponding contact person.
Then, Zhou Ze handed the list into Qin Yanshu's hands and said calmly: "This thing is for you, put it away." It's still the old rule, I'll give you three days, and after three days, give me an accurate answer. During these three days, you can call on the human and financial resources of the company at will, and I will not interfere in any way. ”
"However," Zhu Yuan added, "I hope Miss Qin can choose carefully." Because most of these companies are giants in the industry, many of them have the intention of buying us in the first place. If we work with them, we risk killing ourselves. ”
Qin Yanshu looked at the list in front of her in a daze, and her body suddenly trembled.
Do you really have to decide for yourself which companies to work with?
This time, I'm afraid I'm really going to decide the fate of this company.
If you choose the right one, the company will survive the most difficult market rally period and take off straight from then on.
But once you choose the wrong one, the company will be buried directly in your own hands!
