Chapter 836: Prelude to the Clash of Retail Giants
Lu Shaohua summoned Xu Jiarui in his office, and he was the only one, but looking at Xu Jiarui's tired look, Lu Shaohua felt a little strange, and only after asking did he know that Xu Jiarui had just come back from a business trip, and had just gotten off the plane to Phoenix Building, and had a brief internal meeting in the middle.
Phoenix Sales is the only subsidiary of Phoenix Group that has an overseas branch, and as the general manager of Phoenix Sales, Xu Jiarui naturally does not often run overseas, and it is normal to travel from time to time, and it is precisely for this reason that Lu Shaohua gave Xu Jiarui a privilege, so that he can arrange work freely, well, even if he does not come to the group to work, as long as the work is done, there is no problem with whether he is on vacation or traveling.
Xu Jiarui did not disappoint Lu Shaohua, although sometimes he stayed at home and did not come to work in the group, but as long as he was not tired, he insisted on coming to the company and entering the office to work.
Today is different, Xu Jiarui just got off the plane and had a meeting, even if he was an iron man, he couldn't hold on, so he could only go home early to rest, but unexpectedly, he was called by Lu Shaohua, and his wish was disappointed.
Maybe it's because the work is too strong, Xu Jiarui is also an old smoking gun, so when he saw Xu Jiarui's tired look, Lu Shaohua understood, didn't say anything, smiled lightly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Xu Jiarui, and let him take it himself.
In front of Lu Shaohua, Xu Jiarui never smoked, who let Lu Shaohua himself not smoke, he as a subordinate could only endure it, now the situation is different, Lu Shaohua took the initiative to throw a cigarette to him, plus his whole body was exhausted, naturally you were not welcome, and took a light on it.
Xu Jiarui's cigarettes were lit, and Lu Shaohua did not lag behind, took the cigarette handed over by Xu Jiarui, lit one with him, sat down on the sofa in front of Xu Jiarui, and then asked. "What is this smoke?"
Cigarettes are worthy of Lu Shaohua's pride, because he is the only one in the world who can smoke such cigarettes, and others want to take it from his hands, but there is no way, it is made by Lu Shaohua's own factory, and it is also exclusively for him, only for him alone, and not for sale.
Originally, Xu Jiarui hadn't paid attention to it, but after Lu Shaohua asked, he glanced at Lu Shaohua with some curiosity, then took a hard sip, tasted it carefully, closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and spit out two words. "Good smoke."
Xu Jiarui is telling the truth, it is indeed a good smoke, the entrance is soft, very mellow, unlike the smoke outside, you will choke if you smoke hard, and the more important thing is the content of tar, Xu Jiarui knew that it was the kind of cigarette with very little tar content as soon as he smoked it.
"Haha......"
Lu Shaohua laughed, he was not stingy, and threw the pack of cigarettes just now to Xu Jiarui, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was a reward for you.
Xu Jiarui, who is a good smoke, will not refuse, and also smiles with him, and then puts the cigarette directly into his breath, and then he has a straight face and becomes serious.
Yes, Xu Jiarui suddenly became serious, not for anything else, just because he knew that Lu Shaohua should get to the point next, and he couldn't tolerate his hippie smile, well, this was Xu Jiarui's reaction to Lu Shaohua's understanding.
Indeed, since Xu Jiarui didn't set an example first, Lu Shaohua would also interrupt Xu Jiarui, get serious, and enter the theme called Xu Jiarui. It's good now, Xu Jiaduan is ready without Lu Shaohua's voice, how can Lu Shaohua disappoint Xu Jiarui.
"I called you here for the agent's business." Lu Shaohua opened his mouth and went straight to the key point and said the core.
Of course, Lu Shaohua can only be regarded as throwing bricks and stones, not the core content, but only the foreshadowing at the beginning.
"Hmm." Xu Jiarui nodded, sat up straight, and looked serious, meaning nothing else, just let Lu Shaohua continue.
Lu Shaohua simply told him the plans he had discussed with Qin Sichen one by one, and also roughly said his big plan, it took nearly twenty minutes for Lu Shaohua to finish speaking, and then looked at Xu Jiarui, waiting for his response.
"In fact, if you don't mention this, I will ask you for instructions soon, because our group has developed to a bottleneck, if we don't relax the agency, it is estimated that we can only maintain the status quo, well, maybe there will be an accident in this status quo, so that competitors will find out, and we will be in trouble at that time." Xu Jiarui took the lead in analyzing the situation, and in the end, he didn't forget to add one more sentence. "Of course, if the agency rights are relaxed, it will have a great impact on Phoenix sales."
What is an agent, nothing more than an intermediary, an agency company is like an intermediary company, what they do is nothing more than to act as an agent for a certain brand, buy at a low price, sell at a high price, and earn the difference.
However, Phoenix sales are different, Phoenix sales are their own company, the cost is the factory price, and the sale is at a high price, and the profit in the middle can be much greater than that of the agent.
Lu Shaohua doesn't know the problem, but Lu Shaohua intends to expand his market share, even if it is worth losing a little profit, as long as he increases his market share, he can make up for the loss in the middle.
"I know this thing, but we can't lose the big because of the small, the key is to move forward, and we can't take the original step." Lu Shaohua said with some emotion.
"Hmm." Xu Jiarui nodded in agreement.
It's over, yes, at the moment when Xu Jiarui nodded, it means that the topic between them is over, and since it's over, Lu Shaohua doesn't seem to have any need to keep Xu Jiarui, after all, Xu Jiarui's tired look is obvious, and he can't stay up any longer.
"Go home and have a good rest, and tomorrow you can discuss it with Mr. Qin and formulate a plan as soon as possible." Lu Shaohua drove Xu Jiarui away after leaving such a sentence.
…… Xu Jiarui left, but Lu Shaohua fell into thinking, what he was thinking about was nothing else, he was thinking about what he should do next.
Seeing that the first step of the plan has been taken, the next thing is to summon Chu Lei to talk about the Phoenix Computer and the Phoenix Brain System.
Lu Shaohua can foresee that if the agency power is relaxed, there will inevitably be many businesses rushing to find the Phoenix Group as an agent, because the reputation and products of the Phoenix Group are too reassuring, it is definitely the best of the best, and if it can act as an agent for the products of such a group, it will definitely be profitable.
Since the agent is an agent, it is bound to purchase and place an order.
It is conceivable that if there are too many orders all of a sudden, without preparation, it is estimated that the supply of the Phoenix base will be insufficient, and there will be an urgent shortage of goods at that time, what will be the result? It will result in no goods to be shipped.
Seek and then act, this is Lu Shaohua's consistent style. Moreover, Lu Shaohua does not want the shortage of goods to appear, so no matter what, Lu Shaohua must make preparations in advance, adjust the production line and store a large number of goods first.
It is not difficult to adjust the production line and storage, Lu Shaohua can solve it with a phone call to Chu Lei, the problem is that Lu Shaohua is not only for the Phoenix computer and the Phoenix production system, Lu Shaohua wants to mobilize all the products produced at the Phoenix base.
How many products does the Phoenix Group have, that is a lot, a single Phoenix Electronics has several products, plus Phoenix Computer, Phoenix Automobile and Phoenix Beverage and other products, and then there are no less than ten.
This is not a large-scale increase in production, if Lu Shaohua only makes a phone call, I am afraid that Chu Lei will be suspicious, thinking that Lu Shaohua is joking, or that he has doubts.
Chu Lei is in control of the entire Phoenix Base alone, and there are a lot of things in himself, if there are too many questions in his heart, I am afraid that he will not be able to concentrate on managing the Phoenix Base.
Because of this problem, Lu Shaohua had to summon Chu Lei to Hong Kong, of course, Lu Shaohua could also rush to Shenzhen, just because Lu Shaohua was too lazy to run, he could only grieve Chu Lei and let him come to Hong Kong for a meeting.
At the same time, Lu Shaohua also wanted to gather Chu Lei, Qin Sichen, Xu Jiarui and others to hold a meeting to discuss major matters. If the venue for the meeting is chosen in Shenzhen, it will be a bit of a stir for everyone from Hong Kong to go over together.
Is it better to suffer one person or a large group of people?
Three-year-old children know the choice, so Lu Shaohua finally decided to summon Chu Lei to Hong Kong.
had a plan, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate to condense, and immediately called Chu Lei and asked him to come to Hong Kong in two days.
Regarding Lu Shaohua's call, Chu Lei did not hesitate, let alone ask more, and agreed immediately.
It's not that Chu Lei doesn't want to ask first, but Chu Lei knows that even if he asks, he can't ask anything, because he knows Lu Shaohua too well, if he can say something on the phone, Lu Shaohua will never let him come to Hong Kong.
Indeed, Lu Shaohua's style of acting is like this, even if Chu Lei asks, he will not say much.
Well, Lu Shaohua's work is very stylish, a little different from ordinary people.
Well, after making the call to Chu Lei, did Lu Shaohua make any other moves?
Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua did have other actions. After hanging up the call with Chu Lei, Lu Shaohua thought about it again, and suddenly remembered another thing, a very important and important thing.
This matter is nothing else, it is related to Phoenix Supermarket, and it is related to the plan to attack the retail giants.
Originally, Lu Shaohua could have slowed down some time, but Lu Shaohua, who has always planned and then moved, thinks that the time is very tight now, and if the domestic side is not prepared, it will be too late to start planning at that time.
So, Lu Shaohua picked up the phone and made another call.
