The people from Ross Bank had arrived at the Sunday department store this morning, and Mo Shaokun had planned to go over to meet them in the morning, but later he was summoned to the small hotel by Wang Jun with a phone call.

By the time he drove to the company, the people at Ross Bank were already putting to work. Accompanied by Qin Qin, he met with the leader of Ross Bank, originally he wanted to hold a small party tonight to entertain these guests from afar, but the other party refused, and they made it clear that they were just here to work and did not need such a grand reception.

Mo Shaokun knew that the other party was trying to avoid suspicion, and he still admired the work attitude and professionalism of these foreigners.

"I thought you wouldn't be coming to the office today, and I thought I'd wait until I got off work to find you." Qin Qin poured Mo Shaokun a cup of tea and put it on the table and said.

Mo Shaokun raised his eyebrows, hung his coat on the hanger and asked, "Oh?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Well, it's a bit of a hassle." Qin Qin frowned slightly, stroked the hair in his ears and sighed.

"Tell me about it." Mo Shaokun's expression was straight, with his understanding of Qin Qin, if Qin Qin could look like this, there must be trouble, and it was still a big trouble.

"In the past two days, I have been negotiating with suppliers to renew their contracts, and many suppliers have some problems."

Mo Shaokun frowned slightly when he heard this, what is the most important thing in the supermarket industry? It's the source of goods! It can be said that the supply is the lifeblood of the supermarket industry! If there is a problem with the supply, it is definitely not a trivial matter.

"What's wrong? Tell me more about it. ”

"Some manufacturers said that the priority supply right will still be given to us next year, but the price will be adjusted by more than 10% on the original basis. If we are not willing to increase the price, we can also use the original price, but the priority supply right is gone. ”

Mo Shaokun's eyes narrowed slightly, the so-called priority supply right is that no matter what your production capacity is next year, no matter how many customers you have, you must first ensure that the supply on Sunday will not be affected in the slightest.

This is a guarantee that supermarkets will not run out of stock, and it is also a means to restrain other peers. For example, if something continues to be popular and bought very well, and I have the right of first supply, then the manufacturer must first meet my procurement requirements, and the rest will be provided to other peers, if there is no left, then other peers can only watch me sell things and make money.

Since Sunday had a certain scale, Mo Shaokun asked Qin Qin and them to sign a contract for priority supply with all suppliers, and those manufacturers were naturally extremely happy with the scale of Sunday, which was the advantage of Sunday.

But now that there is a problem with the right of first refusal, it will be a big problem for Sunday. If there is no way to ensure sufficient supply, this will greatly affect the expansion rate of the supermarket.

Taking a deep breath and clicking his index finger on the table, Mo Shaokun chuckled and said, "This is someone who wants to curb our development from the source." ”

No supplier would be stupid enough to offend Sunday, after all, Sunday is the largest supermarket chain in China, and there is no one else who can compare to this sales channel.

Unless someone can give these suppliers more benefits and more benefits, they will take the risk! And now, looking at Huaxia, in addition to Carrefour, which has quietly and silently developed, there is only Wal-Mart, which has been fired recently!

These two international chain giants are peeking into the market in China, and if they want to gain a foothold in China, they must first beat Sunday!

They are not short of money, even if they are desperate for temporary losses to pull these suppliers into their camp to curb the supply of goods on Sunday, it is profitable for them, they can take advantage of the opportunity to slow down on Sunday to speed up the expansion and seize market share as soon as possible!

When they have a certain right to speak in the Huaxia supermarket industry, there will be capital to negotiate new contracts with these manufacturers at low prices, which can be said to be a clever trick and a conspiracy! You don't have to think about it to know that this must be Zhang Xiaodong's handiwork, he knows Sunday very well, he knows Sunday's weakness!

"Shaokun, what should we do now?" Qin Qin asked.

Sunday is the original route of parity, if those suppliers are promised to increase the original price by 10%, then Sunday is basically unprofitable. And if you don't agree, although you can still get the supply, but if at the critical moment, people give you a word of apology, the production capacity is limited and out of stock, then you can't cry!

Mo Shaokun thought for a while and asked, "How many suppliers are involved?" ”

"At least more than 60% of suppliers have put forward different levels of price increases, and 10% is just an average. Some of these manufacturers with fewer domestic competitors and more popular products even ask for a price increase of 15 to 20 percent! Qin Qin said.

Mo Shaokun didn't speak, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, he leaned back on the back of the chair with his eyes squinted slightly. Sixty percent of the manufacturers are asking for price increases, tsk, it's really a big deal! It seems that Zhang Xiaodong really has some ability to think of curbing Sunday's growth and creating opportunities for Walmart in this way.

"These white-eyed wolves, who were begging for products to enter our supermarkets one by one, had not had Sunday when many of these manufacturers had already closed down, and now they have taken advantage of the sales channels on Sundays, and they have forgotten who helped them when their wings have grown stiff, which is simply a bunch of ungrateful things!" Qin Qin said hatefully.

Mo Shaokun chuckled and said: "This shijie has always been so realistic, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and they can't be blamed for this." On the contrary, I think they are quite affectionate and righteous. ”

"Huh?" Qin Qin looked at Mo Shaokun with some puzzlement, she didn't understand how her brother could help those white-eyed wolves speak.

Mo Shaokun flicked the cigarette ash and continued: "Do you think, these manufacturers suddenly asked for a price increase? Someone must have offered them a higher price tag than us to snatch this right of first refusal! In this case, there is no need for them to say anything to us, they can completely abandon us and throw ourselves directly into the arms of others. But they didn't, they asked us to increase the price for the sake of the old relationship, and if we could give the same price as the other party, they would stay with us. Can you say they are ruthless and unrighteous? ”

Hearing Mo Shaokun say this, the expression on Qin Qin's face recovered a little. There's nothing wrong with everyone doing business and chasing higher profits. People are not stupid, since someone offers a higher price, why should people give up?

As Mo Shaokun said, they did not directly abandon Sunday and throw themselves into the arms of the enemy, but gave Sunday a chance to choose, which is already good.

"That'...... So what do we do now? If we agree to their markup, our profits will shrink dramatically. We are originally small profits but quick turnover, if profits are shrinking, it is really boring. Moreover, they require that the supply contract be signed at least five years, which means that we will have a small profit or even no profit for at least five years! Qin Qin said with a frown.

Mo Shaokun sighed lightly, this thing is really not easy to do.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Are there any alternative manufacturers among those suppliers?" ”

"Some do, but some don't."

"Those who can't find a replacement supplier will be dragging them for the time being, I remember that we signed a priority contract with them until March '96, right? There are still a few months left, so leave them alone. Immediately ask the purchasing department to contact those alternative merchants and find other suppliers as soon as possible. ”

Qin Qin nodded.

"This doesn't need to be kept secret, on the contrary, let everyone know." Mo Shaokun said again.

β€œweishenme? If this spreads, wouldn't it be tantamount to pushing our original suppliers to the enemy? Qin Qin was a little puzzled. If you do this, it will definitely make the original suppliers unhappy, and it will not be easy if they go directly to the opponent.

Mo Shaokun chuckled and glanced at Qin Qin strangely, but he didn't explain anything.

"Sister, if the opponent can get such a complete supplier information from us, it should be that there is a problem within the company. You go check and see who leaked it. ”
