"Mr. Li, a gentleman who calls himself Hong Jiming wants to see you no matter what he says, saying that there is a misunderstanding and wants to explain, what do you think?"

Just as Li Mo was planning his next move, an uninvited guest suddenly felt his office downstairs and insisted on talking to him.

"What is the identity of the other party?"

Staring at the information on the computer, Li Mo asked calmly.

He has long been accustomed to such things, so he does not pay too much attention to them, and most of the time he directly issues expulsion orders for these insignificant guests.

"General manager of the Kyungyoshi Yoshinoya fast food restaurant."

The assistant then gave a name.

"Huh?"

Hearing this identity, Li Mo couldn't help but raise his head and became a little interested.

I have also dealt with some industry giants before, and I have competed, although I have had some conversations through the media, but there seem to be few executives who come to the door in person.

This time, this restaurant couldn't hold back and came to the door in person so quickly, which surprised Li Mo, and he was curious about what the other party wanted to do with him, could he come to beg for mercy so quickly?

"After verifying his identity, let him be taken to the reception room first, and I'll go when I'm done with the business at hand."

However, since the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, and he still wanted to inquire about some questions, Li Mosuo's surname planned to meet and test each other.

More than ten minutes later, in a simple conference room on the first floor

Li Mo, who had just finished dealing with the affairs at hand, hurriedly pushed open the door and walked into the house, and then a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a formal suit appeared in his sight.

I think this should be the uninvited guest.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Li Mo, President of AACC, right? I am the general manager of the Yoshinoya restaurant in the capital, Hong Ki-myung. ”

Seeing this sturdy young man walk into the house, Hong Jiming immediately got up and took the initiative to greet him, because he had done enough homework before coming, he could recognize this young boss at a glance.

And as Li Mo approached the room, Hong Jiming also seemed to feel an invisible pressure from the other party, and even he didn't dare to take the initiative to take a step forward to shake hands with the other party.

Hong Jiming himself attributed this feeling to his own psychological reasons, in fact, this sense of oppression is the source of Li Mo, who is constantly breaking through himself.

Relying on dimensional training, now Li Mo has gradually broken through the most superficial ** experience and started to move towards a deeper level of training, although this kind of training still cannot allow him to directly resist bullets and achieve superhuman effects, but in terms of internal force, it is enough for him to surpass ordinary martial arts practitioners, tap his hidden potential, and show extraordinary effects in terms of temperament.

"Yes."

In response to the other party's enthusiastic statement, Li Mo just nodded casually, then sat on a sofa, looked at the other party and asked, "The assistant just said, it seems that you are here to explain some misunderstanding?" ”

"That's the case..."Seeing Li Mo go straight to the topic, Hong Jiming also couldn't wait to explain, "Because of your company, CP Group and us have terminated the previously formulated cooperation and development plan, I think, there must be some problems in this." ”

As he spoke, Hong Jiming took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Li Mo with both hands, and continued, "I have already heard of Mr. Li's charity and patriotism, so I want to explain today that in fact, the fast food restaurant Yoshinoya we control is not an enterprise, but a catering brand that is wholly owned by Huaxia people..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the information in his hand to check it.

If the other party hadn't lied, this would have been a little surprising to him.

"In fact, it was the Hong Kong Island Hung Group that purchased the patent from Yoshinoya, obtained authorization, and invested in the capital Yoshinoya Fast Food Co., Ltd. in the mainland. We are the only Yoshinoya in the world that does not own a stake in Yoshinoya. To be precise, we are a wholly-owned company on Hong Kong Island. In fact, our store is almost completely different from Yoshinoya's in Yoshinoya, and there is no trace of Yoshinoya's culture. Yoshinoya is positioned as suitable for Chinese people, whether it is in terms of environment, food, or consumption habits. ”

While watching Li Mo's every move, Hong Jiming continued to explain, "At the beginning, this matter was controversial. Yoshinoya didn't agree that we should change the design of the horseshoe-shaped bar. But we are self-run and they don't have shares. We fought and persuaded them. Now launch a new product or make some changes, just say hello. In fact, our general manager has a strong national complex. At that time, Yoshinoya asked us to use our tableware, and we felt that the porcelain from Jingdezhen and other places in China was also very good, so we refused the request and used the national brand. ”

"In that case... Then why do we want to help our competitors, give the phantom bow a black hand, and snatch our resources behind our backs? ”

Thinking that he really hadn't bothered to collect detailed information in this regard, Li Mo didn't doubt the real surname of the information in front of him too much, after all, these things were well documented, and it was impossible for the other party to make it up so easily to deceive himself, and then he directly mentioned this important issue.

"Looks like this is where our misunderstanding is."

Hearing Li Mo's questioning, Hong Jiming seemed to have found an important clue, and said in a somewhat excited tone, "Can you tell me more about this matter?" ”

Seeing that the other party really didn't know anything about it, Li Mo simply introduced the matter he had found out about the Yoshinoya enclosure to the other party, and then added, "I can't tell you the source of this information, but one thing is for sure, Yoshinoya did do these things, I hope you can explain it." ”

"Whew~ That's really the case."

As if he had found a way out, Hong Jiming first breathed a sigh of relief, then changed his sitting posture, and continued to explain to Li Mo, "You may not know that Yoshinoya' has also set up a joint venture company to open stores in the magic capital, and these stores can be said to be the same as KFC, which is directly controlled by the overseas Yum Group, and has nothing to do with us. After obtaining the license, we mainly developed in Hong Kong Island and North China, and already have more than 100 stores. When Yoshinoya set up a joint venture in the city, they said hello to us in advance, and they may have felt that the conditions for us to expand to the city were not yet ripe, and what they did was completely different from ours. ”

"I've heard a lot about Yoshinoya's acquisition of rice production areas in the magic capital and their intention to supply them for their own self-sufficiency, but I really didn't expect them to have such a big conflict with your company, if you are willing, I can also be a middleman and help you contact the person in charge there so that we can talk to you in person."

After finishing speaking, Hong Jiming picked up the mineral water next to him and moistened his throat, and then waited for Li Mo's reaction.

"There's no need to talk to them, but I'm still a little curious, you also emphasize the 'nation' and want to be a national enterprise, but your company acts as an agent for Yoshinoya, and people like me who don't know the inside story directly think it's the main store when they see it, which seems to have a big conflict with the national enterprise you emphasized."

Listening to the other party's explanation, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny, feeling that there are so many doorways in a catering brand.

"Actually, we are also helpless, but we hope that slowly, Yoshinoya will be able to move away from the concept of yomoto, and when people think of Yoshinoya, they don't think of yoshimoto, but of beef rice. At the right time, we also hope to be able to make a national brand of Chinese food chain fast food restaurants, but now with the pearl of Yaoxiang in front, I am afraid that our idea will be postponed indefinitely. ”

Hearing this, Hong Jiming smiled bitterly.

"To be honest, I'm sorry for not figuring out the situation and causing you trouble in a hurry." Then, Li Mo looked at the other party and said seriously, "However, I'm afraid it's a little late for you to come now." ”

"Uh... What do you mean? ”

Hong Jiming looked at Li Mo with a puzzled face, not understanding the other party's thoughts, in his opinion, if the misunderstanding is really resolved, the other party will no longer interfere with his cooperation with Zhengda, won't it be over, what trouble can there be?

"In fact, we're already starting to launch new products on items like beef and rice, especially around the storefronts of Yoshino restaurants, and it's impossible to withdraw them."

Li Mo cupped his cheek with one hand, "I'm afraid that your turnover and later goals will face a big blow." ”

“…”

At this moment, Hong Jiming wanted to get up directly and yell at the young man in front of him, why were you in a hurry before you understood the situation! But thinking that Li Mo's approach was not the slightest question, he felt that he had no reason to be angry at all.

There is no law in the country that clearly stipulates what anyone's restaurant can and cannot do, as long as it does not break the law, no matter what Yaoxiang does, he has absolutely no right to blame.

But thinking of KFC and other Western-style fast foods being chased by Yaoxiang Catering, Hong Jiming instantly felt a headache, and leaned back on the sofa speechless.

"You can go back and talk to your headquarters."

Looking at the other party's tangled look, Li Mo also felt a little sorry, "Why do you have to act as an agent for a famous enterprise brand, if you can, I think you can try to cooperate with Yaoxiang Catering." ”

"I don't quite understand."

Seeing that things seemed to be turning around, Hong Jiming, who didn't know whether to go or stay, then sat up and stared at Li Mo tightly, hoping that he could give himself a good proposal.

"It's very simple, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it smoothly anyway, so instead of barely holding on, it's better to join Yaoxiang Catering."

Subsequently, Li Mo expressed his opinion.

"Join Yaoxiang? But... As far as I know, it seems that AACC has always been involved in joint-stock cooperation. ”

For a while, Hong Jiming thought that he had misheard.

"Don't think about it, I mean, let the more than 100 stores in your hands have the privilege of operating Yaoxiang Catering, and at the same time share our new products in rice staples, as for the income, according to the proportion of investment, in fact, it is not much different from your agent Yoshinoya, it is nothing more than a change of signboard." Li Mo smiled and explained, "It should also be compensated for my misunderstanding." Moreover, even if the misunderstanding is cleared up now, it will be difficult to ensure that the head of our catering department will treat you as the next opponent in the future, and I am afraid that there will be no chance of a share. So, it's best to consider what I'm suggesting now. ”

Although even if he didn't make any moves, others didn't have any reason to attack him, but because of the misunderstanding caused by his own negligence this time, Li Mo still thought of a compromise solution.

This not only helps the other party to reduce the impact, but it is also equivalent to a disguised acquisition of Yoshinoya.

"This... I'm going back to talk to the Hong Kong Island headquarters... I'll get back to you when the time comes. ”

After understanding what Li Mo meant, Hong Jiming nodded, and at the moment, it seemed that if Li Mo didn't say it casually, this was undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, compared to Yaoxiang Restaurant, Yoshinoya's signature appeal is obviously much worse, and there is a huge difference in profitability.

From the bottom of his heart, Hong Jiming himself still hopes to promote such cooperation, after all, whenever there is any friction between Huaxia and Yueben, the restaurant he is in charge of will always be taken out to boycott, and he is also a little scared.

Once you can marry AACC, then your status will obviously rise in the future.

"Also, if you can, please help me inquire about the Yoshinoya enclosure over there in the magic capital, and which clothing company you are cooperating with."

Thinking of his original purpose, Li Mo did not forget to remind, "If your company chooses to change its flag and join AACC in the end, we will definitely not treat the heroes badly." ”

"Okay, don't worry, I'll do my best to help you check."

Now that they have reached this point, Hong Jiming naturally knows what he should do, and immediately promised. (To be continued.) )
