"Of course, if you want to enter the market to do business, you must get the approval of the market management department, this is common sense, of course we know, when you really want to come to the vegetable wholesale market to trade, we will go to the management department to go through the procedures, but thank you for the reminder." Zhou Jianping said.

"Make no mistake about it, we're talking about managers that's not what you understand."

"They are all people from the market management department, why are they different?" Zhou Jianping was inexplicable.

"The management department you are talking about is the local government, and we are not the same thing as him."

"You are ----?"

"Don't go around in circles, let me tell you, we're private."

"Can a private person manage the market? This wholesale vegetable market is managed by the government department, so how can it be managed by private individuals? Zhou Jianping didn't want to believe this fact.

"It doesn't matter if it's your turn or not, have you ever heard of Hongxiang Company?"

"I haven't heard of it, what's wrong? Does this market have anything to do with it? ”

"It seems that you haven't heard of the boss of Hongxiang Company, let me tell you, this vegetable wholesale market is the sphere of influence of Hongxiang Company, and whoever wants to enter the market must be approved by our President Fan."

"Did I hear me right? If the market management department approves it, does it still need your general fan's approval? ”

"Yes, with the approval of the market management department, you can't enter the market."

"Mr. Fan is not allowed? You won't let it? ”

The other party pouted, looking incredible, "If you don't believe it, then try." ”

Zhou Jianping didn't want to rub his tongue with these two guys, so he walked out of the market with Master Sun and got in the car to go back to the unit.

For three or four days in a row, Zhou Jianping and his driver went around several vegetable wholesale markets in Huaxing City, and the results were almost the same as on the first day.

On the way back to the unit, Master Sun said: "It seems that the vegetable wholesale market in Huaxing City has been occupied by Hongxiang Company, and if you want to enter the transaction, you must get their consent." ”

"I also think that Hongxiang Company has occupied the vegetable wholesale market in Huaxing City, why is no one in charge? What are the market management agencies doing? ”

"Mr. Zhou, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and grassroots government agencies are sometimes not easy to do." Master Sun said.

"Why, is it so difficult to manage a market?" Zhou Jianping disagreed.

"The market managers who represent the government may be incompetent, or they may be lazy, and if you look at the chaos in the market, you can imagine that there is a lack of management, and these are their own problems. But things outside the market, even if they want to, can't manage them. ”

"What's going on outside the market?"

"Let me give you an example, suppose a foreign trader pulls a large cart of vegetables here to trade, he can't drive the car directly into the market, he must park the car outside, waiting for all kinds of formalities, at this moment, a group of young people in their twenties and thirties come around, pointing fingers at foreign merchants, or verbal intimidation, do you say that the market management personnel can control such things? Even if they see it with their own eyes, they can't manage it if they want to, or even dare not manage it at all. "Master Sun has been driving a taxi for a few years and is very clear about the situation at the bottom of society.

"Yes, not to mention that the market management agency is powerless in this situation, even the public security organs do not have a very effective good method, if the merchants choose to call the police, and when the police arrive, those people can say that they are talking about business, and there is indeed no injury to the fight, and the police have no way to take them, this is a gray area. By using this method, Hongxiang Company not only controls the vegetable traders who come to Huaxing City to trade, but also completely controls the vegetable farmers who come to the market to seek trade around the local urban area. ”

Zhou Jianping and Master Sun had breakfast at the roadside stall by the way, and it was more than eight o'clock in the morning when they returned to the unit, Zhou Jianping told Zhao Xinmei what he learned from the vegetable wholesale market, and before he finished speaking, Zhao Xinmei seemed to be a little deflated, "In this way, it is difficult to enter the vegetable wholesale market, so give up the previous plan." ”

"It's okay to give up, give up the plan to enter the wholesale market, what to do with those vegetables that are overcharged?"

"The wholesale market has been occupied by Hongxiang Company, do we have any other way?" Zhao Xinmei's mood was a little depressed.

"With such a big market, why is it occupied by him, I want to personally talk to the old fan of Hongxiang Company."

"Those people are all unreasonable and unreasonable, what do you think can be achieved by talking to them?"

"What's wrong with the Ground Snake? It's not that I haven't seen it, and I have to be reasonable even if I am unreasonable, and as for the result, I will know after the discussion. ”

Zhou Jianping smiled casually and turned to go back to his office.

"I'll tell you good news, just before I got off work yesterday afternoon, I received a call from the municipal government office, saying that the report on Jiansheng Food's application for government subsidies has been approved, and we are asked to prepare a detailed report." Zhao Xinmei said.

"At that time, I refused the request of Deputy Director Yang of the Municipal Government Office to withdraw the application report, didn't you withdraw it?" Zhou Jianping was slightly pleased.

"What are you doing withdrawing? If he agrees, he will approve, and if he disagrees, forget it, isn't it just a few pieces of paper in black and white? It's useless to take it back."

"Hey, it seems that there is no withdrawal now. You go and do it, I'll go to Lao Fan of Hongxiang Company. ”

Just when Zhou Jianping was about to walk out of the door, Zhao Xinmei advised: "When dealing with the landlord of Hongxiang Company, you should pay attention to safety." ”

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Zhou Jianping found the phone number of Hongxiang Company from a corporate yellow page, he dialed it directly, and the phone was connected, "Hey, is it Hongxiang Industrial Company?" ”

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your Manager Fan, Mr. Fan."

"Wait a minute."

After a moment, a very nasal man's voice came from the telephone receiver, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"Mr. Fan, I'm Zhou Jianping of Jiansheng Food Company."

"Jiansheng Food Company, Zhou Jianping, have we met?"

"No, if only we met."

"Say, what are you looking for me?" Although it was rude, Lao Fan spoke simply.

"I can't say a few words clearly, I want to visit you, I wonder if Mr. Fan welcomes it?"

Listening to the other party's words, polite and without malice, and the leader of a company, Lao Fan readily agreed, "Whatever, come on." ”

Just about to put down the phone, Zhou Jianping saw the clock hanging on the wall, "Oh, Manager Fan, it's not early, let's just find a place to eat and meet, what do you think?" ”

Lao Fan hesitated slightly, "Okay, you can decide." ”

In a small restaurant, Zhou Jianping found a seat in the corner and sat down, waited for about ten minutes, and saw a middle-aged man with a big head and a slick head walk into the restaurant and look around.

Seeing Zhou Jianping sitting in the corner of the restaurant, someone came over and asked, "Are you Manager Zhou of Jiansheng Food Company?" ”

"You are ----?"

"Oh, I'm the old fan of Hongxiang Company, Fan Chengdong, we were on the phone just now."

Zhou Jianping stood up, "Yes, yes, yes, I talked about it on the phone, hello Manager Fan!" Welcome, welcome! You may be seated. ”

After Lao Fan sat down, Zhou Jianping handed him a business card, he looked at Zhou Jianping, and then looked at the business card, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou, a very famous Jiansheng Food Company, doesn't look very old." ”

"Hey, young and ignorant, please take care of Mr. Fan." When it comes to speaking on social occasions, Zhou Jianping pulls Lao Fan a few streets.

"You're a big business owner, take care of each other."

"Mr. Fan, please order, today I will be Dong, whatever you want to eat, whatever."

Lao Fan was really polite, he probably thought that Zhou Jianping took the initiative to find him, so he had to let the other party have a treat, and he didn't eat for nothing, he picked up the menu and ordered four dishes in one go.

As the owner, Zhou Jianping also ordered two dishes. As for drinking, Zhou Jianping didn't be polite to Lao Fan, he casually asked for a locally produced liquor.

The dishes were all served, the wine was passed three rounds, and before Zhou Jianping could speak, Lao Fan first said: "Mr. Zhou is looking for me today, is there something wrong?" ”

"Ho, the so-called three treasures hall for nothing, today I am interested in disturbing Mr. Fan, I have something to discuss."

"What's the matter? Mr. Zhou, please speak. ”

"I don't know if Mr. Fan has heard of it, I also have a statement on the business card, our company is the largest vegetable processing enterprise in Huaxing City and even the province, and there are two vegetable production bases in the countryside, and our clean vegetable products are sold in hundreds of supermarkets and vegetable wholesale markets inside and outside the province."

"Awesome, admire! I heard about it, but today is the first time I heard Mr. Zhou talk about it in person. ”

"Mr. Fan, the output of our vegetable base has increased in the past six months, and we want to enter the vegetable wholesale market in Huaxing City in the next step."

"Okay, but you seem to be in the wrong place when you tell me about this, because I'm not the manager of the wholesale vegetable market." Lao Fan showed a posture of staying out of the matter.

Zhou Jianping thought to himself, he didn't see that Lao Fan, who was five big and three rough, was quite good at acting, and pretended to be quite similar, "Of course you are not the manager of the vegetable wholesale market, but you are the boss of Hongxiang Company!" This is more critical than the marketing manager. ”

"I didn't understand Mr. Zhou's words, I don't know what it means."

"Mr. Fan, we are all understanding people, so don't go around in circles."

"What a circle I'm going around! It's been you're talking, I don't really know what you're talking about. Lao Fan deliberately pretended to be inexplicable.

"Mr. Fan, if you don't nod, other people's vegetables won't be able to enter the market, this is an open secret, who doesn't know the people in the vegetable wholesale market?"

"Is there such a thing? I don't even know it myself. ”

"Don't pretend to be confused, I've been in business for so many years, if you want to enter the vegetable wholesale market, can I not explore these external factors in advance? I don't know the details, I won't rush to you. ”

"Mr. Zhou is worthy of being the boss of a large business, and he doesn't fight unprepared battles, you know, so what do you want to do?"

"Didn't I come for you? Please Mr. Fan raise his noble hand. ”

"Raise your noble hand---, Mr. Zhou, my Hongxiang company is also hundreds of people, and the brothers also want to eat!" Lao Fan poured bitter water instead.

"Hey, hundreds of brothers can't just count on this thing when they eat! If I say something that I don't like, Mr. Fan, don't be careful, to put it bluntly, you are called bullying and dominating the market, and it is not the right way after all, and sooner or later you will be eliminated by the times. As he spoke, Zhou Jian looked at Lao Fan calmly.

"I don't have the ability to do as big as you, I can't do a big thing like you, so I can only do something like this, take my brothers to eat, I don't think about it so long-term, it's a day to mix. If you call me a bully, if you don't follow the right path, I won't get angry, and if you were someone else, none of them would dare to talk to me like that. Lao Fan told the truth.

Zhou Jianping picked up his wine glass, "Thank you Mr. Fan for giving face, come, cheers!" After putting down the cup, he continued: "What your business is willing to do, that's your business, others have no right to make irresponsible comments, what I said just now is just a fact, don't take it to heart." Now what I'm concerned about is, what are you going to do if the products of our company's vegetable base are going to enter the wholesale market? ”

"The boss of such a big business as Mr. Zhou begged to come to the door, if I don't give any face and look unkind, otherwise, we will reduce the fee by half."
