Chapter 56: The Banquet
The two children did not wake up until about 1 p.m., a little longer than usual. Li Ran finished urinating the two children who woke up, and after feeding, he has been playing with him.
I thought that I could go to Mo Wen to play chess or something after dinner in the afternoon, but at three o'clock, Zhong Zhaoya called and asked when he would arrive for the banquet in the evening. He remembered that Huang Yanzong had told him a few days ago about inviting representatives of various suppliers to dinner, in order to contact their feelings, and by the way, after the two sides reached an agreement on the supply issue, they would hold such a banquet to celebrate.
In fact, from next year, that is, 94 years, Wanjia will have to complete the construction of its own logistics network. If the three branches only rely on the supply of various manufacturers, the purchase price will undoubtedly be much higher after the intermediate links, which will have a great impact on the profits after the gradual implementation of the parity strategy in the future. But in a short period of time, Wanjia's own logistics company must not be built well, so the question arises, how to ensure the supply of goods while ensuring that the purchase price is low?
When the manufacturer supplies the goods, the logistics cost will be converted into the cost, this part of the cost can not be cared about when the home appliance industry is highly profitable, but now it has entered the stage of low profit to win by volume, so if you want profits to rise instead of falling, then not only let the sales volume go up, but also let the cost go down. In order to achieve such a goal, it is natural to negotiate and communicate with various manufacturers and exchange other conditions for this part of the profit.
Of course, Li Ran didn't go to fight with these manufacturer representatives for the sake of cost, and it would be too bad for a dignified president to do this kind of thing in person. The public relations department under the administrative center has been negotiating with various manufacturers before, and after more than ten days of mutual testing, they are now almost negotiated, and the contract has been finalized.
The content of the contract is also very simple, the main content is that before June 94, each manufacturer is responsible for transporting to the general warehouse of each branch of Wanjia, and the manufacturers bear the logistics costs, and then Wanjia will be responsible for their own logistics and transportation, and the manufacturers will not care. This is Wanjia's requirements for various home appliance manufacturers, and the corresponding people naturally also have requirements for Wanjia. Wanjia has to book a batch of goods from a manufacturer at the same time in these six months, and this batch of goods must not only be paid in advance, but also will not be returned except for the quality of the goods.
Obviously, the buyout sales used against Gome in the price war some time ago made everyone taste the sweetness, and they can't stop it. This time is actually an alternative buyout sale, but people also know that Wanjia will not compromise easily without the effect of external forces, so they took this opportunity to bring it up.
For Wanjia, this condition is barely stuck in the soft underbelly, after all, after the beginning of January, the branches will make efforts to seize the market, so there is not much loss, so they will take advantage of the situation to agree. In fact, in the future, the supply methods of Gome and various manufacturers are similar to this model, which has advantages and disadvantages. But Wanjia will not always use this way, now it is only temporary, after the development of Wanjia to a certain extent, when the stores are spread all over the country, it will naturally have the ability to counter manufacturers, and at that time will seek a more suitable way.
After the public relations department negotiated with various manufacturers, Wu Jing signed this six-month contract with various manufacturers on behalf of the company. This contract is very important to both Wanjia and various manufacturers, so in the need for future development and the maintenance of the cooperative relationship between the two parties, as the head of Wanjia, Li Ran naturally wants to appear at this banquet.
The banquet time is at eight o'clock in the evening, and there is no hurry. took out the formal clothes I bought before and asked Vanilla to help iron it, and I didn't rush to change it, and only after eating at five o'clock in the afternoon did I change my clothes and set off with Chen Hu.
Before leaving, Li Ran went to Mo's house first and said that it was good to play chess with Lao Mo, but now that he can't go, he has to apologize. Since the last time they chatted, Li Ran and Mo Wen often played chess together and chatted after dinner. The two were already chatting and the two families were still close, so they hit it off and became confidants of each other. There is no other way to entertain these days, and it is also quite good to have someone to talk to and relieve boredom.
When he arrived at Mo's house, Li Ran pushed the door in familiarly, and the door was naturally hidden during the day. As soon as he entered the door, Mo Wen and his wife Su Yue really had dinner, and they also beckoned Li Ran to eat, so he naturally didn't bother much, and smiled and excused himself. He didn't see Mo Jiajia, thinking that he was on the night shift, after all, he was a doctor.
told Mo Wen that he had something to gain and miss, and people didn't blame anything, but said that it was normal for Li Ran to have something, and it was strange to be idle.
Chen Hu was still waiting outside, and Li Ran didn't say too much to greet, and left after chatting a few words. Before leaving, Mo Mu asked Li Ran when she would come back, to see if she could pick up Mo Jiajia by the way, it was a bit dangerous for a girl to come back from work at night. Li Ran had nothing to do, and he agreed anyway.
The banquet was selected in the hotel of China Resources Building, which was a central hall booked by Huang Yanzong. However, Li Ran did not go to the banquet venue first, but went to the company. Huang Yanzong went first because the supervisor handled the banquet, but the others were still in the company. This time, only six vice presidents and managers in charge of various departments and general assistant Zhao Ya attended the banquet, and several vice presidents were equipped with their own cars, so they didn't have to worry about it, and the supervisors rushed over after work, but Zhao Ya was still processing documents in the company, so she had to go to the company to pick up Zhao Ya first.
After arriving at the company, Zhao Ya just finished processing the documents, and she was very happy to know that Li Ran came to pick her up. It can be seen that she is carefully dressed, a tunic suit can highlight her good figure very much, and her face is more bright and moving with light makeup. couldn't help but praise the beauty, which made Zhao Ya even happier, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she couldn't hide her pride, like a little fox who had stolen honey.
The time was almost up, Zhao Ya was ready, and the two rushed to the China Resources Hotel in the car. After arriving, Huang Yanzong waited in the lobby downstairs with people from the public relations department to greet him. Let the waiter lead him upstairs to the atrium where the banquet is held, there are already many people in it, and there are employees of Wanjia at the door who are responsible for signing in and arranging seating.
This banquet was Chinese-style, and Wang Kai originally proposed to hold a Western-style cocktail party, but considering that the representatives of various manufacturers may not be adaptable, the Chinese banquet was finally used. Wanjia now has a lot of suppliers, in addition to a few larger brands, there are also many brands that are not well-known, so the number of invited people is really a lot.
Seeing that Li Ran was coming, all the high-level officials of the family came to him and hugged him, and the representatives of various manufacturers, those who knew Li Ran, came forward to say hello, and those who didn't know each other could see the situation and stepped forward one after another. So Li Ran smiled all the way to the front, and after greeting and taking a seat, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already past eight o'clock, and Li Ran estimated that it was almost there. signaled that Wu Jing could start.
The first item of the banquet was to express Wu Jing's gratitude to various manufacturers for their support on behalf of Wanjia, and then talked about the future development of Wanjia and the cooperation with various manufacturers. After that, the banquet officially began, and Li Ran took a group of high-level officials to toast from table to table.
There are not many manufacturers who went to the banquet to pay attention to it, except for the first few famous home appliance brand manufacturers such as Midea, Gree, and Changhong. In addition, Huang Yanzong also invited several foreign companies, such as Panasonic, Mitsubishi and other companies. But in fact, Li Ran doesn't attach much importance to these foreign companies, because almost in 96 years, the share of these foreign companies in China has basically been eaten away, and at the moment their main sales company is still Gome, so Li Ran didn't say anything more to him, just a few simple polite words.
The banquet lasted until more than eleven o'clock, and after the management of Wanjia finished toasting, it was considered that the purpose was achieved. Finally, it ended after Li Ran's speech. After sending off the guests, Li Ran didn't care about the rest of the things, and asked Chen Hu to send Zhao Ya home first.
Zhao Ya also drank a few glasses of wine during the banquet, and when the wind blew outside, the wine was strong, her face was ruddy, and she was very gorgeous, and Li Ran couldn't help but take a few more looks. But that's all there is to it, and I'll send her back after that.
After sending Zhao Ya, Li Ran didn't forget to pick up Mo Jiajia, and asked Chen Huche to stop at the gate of the hospital and wait, and he went up to find someone.
