Chapter 189: Market Wars

Although there has been a saying in China since ancient times, just like Zhong Jian's current situation, Lan Xiaojie is his secretary, and it can be said that he never leaves an inch and stays together every day, which is really rare. Looking at Zhong Jian's appearance, it is hard for me to imagine that he will have the vigorous appearance he has now, and it seems that no matter how unmotivated a man is, under the spur of his beloved woman, he will still forge ahead.

The communication department only arranged a room and gave it to Zhong Jian, and now there are only two employees, him and Lan Xiaojie, so there is no need for too much space. Lan Xiaojie is also in the same office as him, although she doesn't have to face to face, but she doesn't look up and look down.

Because of Zhong Jian's participation, I entrusted him with the market development of the hotel part. He is also quite diligent, just went to work, and went out for activities, although I don't know what he has been doing in recent years, but with the frequency of his job changes, he may have done a lot of industries, but it seems that he is also in the catering circle, mixed more open, and now I let him be in charge of the hotel part, which is really like a fish in water.

Fei Jingxuan's situation, I also have a preliminary understanding, I am thinking hard about how to achieve cooperation with him, if there is such a solid backing as the Siqiu Society, I must do things with half the effort, but all opportunities have to wait until I need financing and listing, that time is when I need money the most, and he can borrow it.

I sat behind my desk, quietly meditating on these things, and then called the retailers who bought our products last time, and asked about the feedback from the market, of course, the main purpose was to pay attention to the subsequent development, to see if there were any more opportunities for cooperation.

The reply was the same, they all said, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. It seems that Liu Meier has also endured to the end, and she completely ignores this matter. It's just that if I were to use Ma Lan in exchange for the company's development, I wouldn't be able to do it anyway. Although I am reluctant to let the child catch the wolf. But to be a human being, you still have to have a conscience, and you can't make money with your conscience.

I'm frowning and thinking about where I'm expanding. The phone rang, and I looked at the caller ID, it was Feng Caiyun's phone: "Xiaopeng, tell you good news." I have made an appointment for you with the purchasing president of Knorr Spoke China, he is quite interested in your drink, and I will make an appointment with you to meet you every day to talk about cooperation matters, and I will give you the phone. The voice of the wind and clouds sounded, with an incomparable sense of tenderness.

I was stunned, but then I realized that I was the second largest retailer in the world. Carrefour's headquarters are located in France, which and the Brooke family, which is also in Europe, will have the opportunity to cooperate, and there may be opportunities to meet often. Therefore, it is normal for Hu Luyao to know the people at the top of Carrefour. Of course, the most crucial factor in really wanting to negotiate this matter is still me, she is just a matchmaker.

"Understand, thank you wife, if this thing is done, I will treat you to a meal. I took a deep breath. suppressed his excitement, and really wanted to hug Hu Luyao and kiss him a few times.

"Hehe, that's good, but I don't want to eat, I still think it's okay to eat you......" Hu Luyao's deep voice was charming.

Khan, compared to her, in this regard, I have always been a rookie, what she says, always easily makes me blush, but it makes me want to listen to it very much, and the throbbing in my heart is really like a tide.

After hanging up Hu Luyao's phone, I stabilized my emotions, and then called Smith, the purchasing president of Knorr Spoke China, and made an appointment for negotiation.

"Lishan, go out with me and talk to Carrefour about future cooperation plans. ”

I thought about it, but I decided to take Lu Lishan with me, this is a big plan for Pengfei's future development, and having a secretary by his side can at least keep the corporate image at a certain level. With Carrefour's participation, Pengfei will directly enter the international market, taking advantage of the convenience of international retail giants, and also save us the cost of our own operation, and it will be faster.

When Lu Lishan heard my invitation, she was very happy, and after sorting out some materials, she set off with me.

At Carrefour headquarters in Pudong, Smith met me in the conference room. Although he is a senior executive of a Fortune 500 company, Smith completely abandons the domineering air of some corporate executives, and looks quite peaceful. "Zhu, Mr. Li's French is really good, if we hadn't met directly, maybe I would have thought you were my fellow countryman. Smith joked to me with a laugh.

I shook my head freely, and said with a smile: "I still want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce the company, if the cooperation is successful, maybe I will really become a fellow villager with Mr. Smith in the future." ”

In the midst of laughter, we shook each other's hands, and the first impression is still very important, that is the key to communication.

"Okay, let's get down to business, what advantages does Mr. Zhu think your fountain of immortality has that allows us to purchase goods without any worries? Because it takes less than a year or two to build a brand, not to mention that Pengfei is still a small company that has just been established, if there is no advantage, I can't watch the goods come in, piled up on the shelves and no one wants, and finally become garbage completely, because the current beverage market, there are thousands of kinds of drinks, so any kind of drink, as soon as it comes out, it will be annihilated in a pile of bottles, and no one wants to look for it carefully. Smith shrugged, his mouth furrowed. Only a romantic French would be so casual.

I smiled and nodded, "Mr. Smith's concerns are very reasonable, but without enough confidence, I will not sit in front of you in a big way." I only want to guarantee four points now, because no matter how well I explain it, no matter how fancy it is, it is not as convincing as the real benefit. First, I have sorted out all the indicators of the Fountain of Youth, as well as the certification of the food authority, please Mr. Smith take a look, and I will talk about other advantages. ”

Taking the form I handed over, Smith carefully read it line by line, meticulously, and extremely rigorously. After reading it, Smith took a long breath and nodded: "Judging from the data, the Fountain of Youthfulness does have something outstanding, but now is the information age, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, without corresponding publicity and word of mouth, quality alone may not grow into a first-line enterprise." ”

"Well, well, since Mr. Smith has seen the first point, then I'll start talking about the second point. Our TV announcement will be officially available on major TV stations next month. The spokesperson of Fountain of Youthfulness is the popular superstar Miss Xiao Zixing, and with her concert, I believe that Fountain of Youth's popularity will soon become a hot spot. Thirdly, I dare to guarantee that within three years, the Fountain of Youthfulness will definitely become the most popular drink in the country, so Mr. Smith should not watch this opportunity to make money slip away from his eyes, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it. Fourth, the company solemnly promises that if the inventory of Bulaoquan for two months exceeds 10% of the total purchase volume, then no matter how many goods are left, all can be returned, and we will repurchase them at the external sales price. "I listed three key points about sales in one breath, each of which made Smith think for a long time, especially the last one, which is even more heavy, for the food industry, no one has ever dared to have such a promise, so it is equivalent to no matter what the state, Carrefour is profitable.

Smith looked at me seriously, nodded and said: "Mr. Li is a cheerful person, and he is also a person who really wants to do business, so in the future, all our branches in China will put the company's fountain of youthfulness on the shelves at the same time, so let's sign a two-year contract first, and we will calculate the order quantity of 10,000 bottles per month for each store, and then gradually increase or decrease the sales volume later." ”

I secretly rejoiced in my heart, Smith's words obviously showed that he sincerely wanted to do business, otherwise he would directly buy 100,000 bottles, and if he couldn't sell them, he would return them to me at full price, so that he could still earn the difference, and his current attitude shows that he is a real businessman.

Businessmen are divided into two categories, one is how much they can earn, only profit, and will seize all opportunities, regardless of whether others live or die, and only care about making money for themselves. The second type is the type of Smith, to achieve a win-win situation, because if the development of the partner is good, then it will be of greater help to their own enterprises, and this has involved sociality, if it contributes to the society, the environment and humanity, it is the excellent quality of modern enterprises, in order to make the enterprise more powerful.

The apex of the light economy of the market is like this, and it will not blindly pursue profits, which is what we usually call humanization.

In terms of Carrefour's purchasing power and foot traffic, the purchase of 10,000 bottles a month is too little, but at least it has allowed Fountain of Youth's success in entering the retail market, which is already a cross-era step. And Carrefour retail stores in China, should be more than 60, so this is an average of 20,000 bottles per day, which is equivalent to one-third of the company's current productivity, which is a good result, and I believe that with the miraculous effect of the Fountain of Youth, there will be a lot of repeat customers, and then sales growth will not be a problem.

In fact, I want to put all the old people on the shelves of convenience stores now, because no one will go to the hypermarket to buy a bottle of drink. In addition, the number of convenience stores is even higher, and SH alone has exceeded 8,000, and if each store sells 10 bottles a day, it is already beyond the company's current production capacity.

It's just that most of the convenience stores are in the hands of the domestic retail giants, and at present, I don't have any chances, so I must become stronger, turn the passive into the active, and when the Fountain of Youths occupies the king of drinks, it is time for them to come back to me.
