Chapter 107 Touched the nail
Zhou Jianping asked the waiter to bring a bottle of liquor, he unscrewed the cap and poured it into the two cups, "Manager Dong is really temperamental, old friends are like this old wine, it is worth cherishing, but you also have to look forward!" ”
"Yo, do you want to drink at noon? According to the rules of the mall, it is not allowed to drink alcohol at noon, but it is not strictly enforced. Lao Dong is not polite, in fact, he wants to drink.
"The time is tight at noon, let's drink a pound of wine and not drink much." Zhou Jianping put a full glass of wine in front of Lao Dong.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou." Before the dishes were ready, Lao Dong picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to clink glasses with Zhou Jianping.
It seems that Lao Dong not only likes to drink, but also is very bold at the wine table.
"I am very happy to know Manager Dong, and it will be even more honorable if I can be your friend." Zhou Jianping held Lao Dong and said.
"Mr. Zhou said the opposite, what am I, a department manager of a shopping mall, in front of you, the CEO of a large enterprise, it is simply not worth mentioning, I should say that I know you, it is a great honor."
"Okay, at least they are drinking friends at the wine table, and they should focus on drinking, let's not care about this." Zhou Jianping said.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Mr. Zhou, I want to know why you want to choose our mall for the launch of your new product?"
"Heh, to be precise, it's in M City, not just your mall."
"You mean our malls all over the city?" Lao Dong looked at Zhou Jianping in surprise.
"Yes, large shopping malls and supermarkets in the whole city of M."
"Yo, Mr. Zhou is really generous! But after all, we are a provincial capital here, although your idea is good, I'm afraid the actual operation is not so simple! Lao Dong didn't believe that Zhou Jianping had this ability at all, and he even thought in his heart that Zhou Jianping was beyond his strength.
"Don't hide it from Manager Dong, before coming to you, we have reached an agreement of intent with more than ten large shopping malls in M City, once our clean vegetable products come out, they can be immediately listed in these supermarkets and shopping malls." Zhou Jianping said indifferently, although what he said was true, he deliberately added water.
"What? Have you reached agreements with more than a dozen major shopping malls? Even if each family talks smoothly, it will be difficult to do it in twenty or thirty days! Lao Dong was obviously skeptical of Zhou Jianping's words.
"Of course, it takes a long time to negotiate one by one, but we have saved a lot of trouble by using ready-made channels, and the agreement between these more than ten large supermarkets and shopping malls was reached at a wine party." Zhou Jianping wrote lightly.
"If that's the case, that's great! What do you mean by ready-made channels? Lao Dong gradually became interested in Zhou Jianping's words.
"Manager Dong, in your office in the morning, when I was introducing myself, I seemed to have said that our biscuits and pastries are sold in the food department of your shopping mall, and they sell very well, but we do not supply them directly, but the food department purchases them from the food wholesale company in M city. Not only your shopping malls, but also our products are sold in slightly larger shopping malls and supermarkets in M City, isn't this a good ready-made sales channel? However, I was not familiar with the managers of the supermarkets in the shopping malls, so I entrusted a leader of the city food company to contact the shopping malls, and through the food department managers of each shopping mall, I finally connected with the person in charge of the fresh food department, so we negotiated the business. ”
In fact, Manager Kong of the City Food Company also contacted Lao Dong's food department manager in their shopping mall, but the manager's personal relationship with Lao Dong was not good, and he was afraid that Lao Dong would not give face, so he suppressed the matter.
Lao Dong listened attentively, and after Zhou Jianping finished speaking, he opened his mouth in surprise, "No wonder Mr. Zhou is so confident, it turns out that he has a relationship with the leaders of the city food company, and under his Zhang Luo, your matter will naturally be much easier." ”
"Not necessarily, didn't I just hit a nail with you?" Since Lao Dong had shown suspicion before, Zhou Jianping didn't need to be too polite to him.
"Mr. Zhou, it's not that I let you touch the nails, my character, the existing suppliers are all related units, a group of good friends, I'm really embarrassed to let anyone quit."
"Manager Dong, I have never said that we come in and let others out, on the contrary, I have always opposed the business philosophy of having me without you, and you without me. We are all peers and can coexist on one platform. ”
"That being said, it's not that simple to do." Lao Dong still has nothing to do.
"Manager Dong, things are not complicated at all, let me in, you don't need to let any existing suppliers withdraw, you just need to shrink the business area of each of them a little bit, and squeeze out a place for me to stand, how difficult is this matter?"
This matter is not difficult at all, Lao Dong is the manager of the fresh food department, this is his territory, everything is up to him, the key is that Lao Dong is afraid of trouble, and he doesn't want to worry about it, Zhou Jianping has seen this clearly.
was forced into a corner by Zhou Jianping, and Lao Dong had no way out, "Mr. Zhou, if you want to say so, this matter can also be done, but you have also seen my shopping mall, the area is so large, there are so many varieties, it is very troublesome to squeeze out a place for you!" ”
"I know this, for the sake of our company's affairs, Manager Dong is worried about being tired, of course we can't forget you, but don't worry, what to do, I know in my heart." Zhou Jianping knew what Lao Dong meant, and let him take a reassuring pill first.
"Mr. Zhou, I don't know if other businesses have mentioned it to you, here I want to remind you, from your Huaxing City to us, there are nearly 300 kilometers away, I don't know how you will ensure the freshness of vegetables in the future?" Since Lao Dong agreed to the products of Jiansheng Food Company to enter their mall, he should be concerned about the specific details.
"Other companies really haven't reminded me, thank you Manager Dong for the reminder. Before coming out of the company, someone in our company also mentioned this problem, and the solution was discussed at that time, and we were ready to buy two imported fresh-keeping trucks for delivery. Not to mention you here, even if you deliver goods to our shopping malls in our city, you also need to use a fresh-keeping car, otherwise, it is difficult to ensure the freshness of vegetables. ”
......
For the remaining dozen shopping malls and supermarkets, Zhou Jianping went door-to-door, for different objects, and adopted different methods, and it took him nearly a month to finally connect with the person in charge of the fresh food department of the large shopping mall and supermarket in M City, and all reached the intention.
With the market guarantee of M city, the sales pressure of new products has been reduced by more than half, and the development of new markets in the future will at least be much more relaxed in time.
After returning to the company for a short rest, Zhou Jianping went to Yuanba Village non-stop to check the vegetable planting situation, and the village secretary told him that all the training and guidance had been completed, and Yu Xuecai and He Li had temporarily returned to the unit.
Since they started planting vegetables, Secretary Xu and village director Zhou Jianliang have not had much free time, which is a major feature of growing vegetables. Originally, no effort is gained, you don't have to put in too much effort, you don't have to pay some time and energy, and you want to harvest more, how can there be such a good thing? Nothing in the world is illegal for nothing!
Seeing that Zhou Jianliang and the village party secretary were very busy, Zhou Jianping didn't want to disturb them, stayed in the village committee for a while, and then turned around the nearby fields, Zhou Jianping found that there were many more people working in the fields than before, and those once barren land, now reused, it is indeed men, women and children go into battle together, some older people, even moved small stools from home, sitting in the field to help the family.
Looking at the vegetable seedlings in the field, the early sowing has grown to more than an inch high, and even the last sowing has more than a centimeter of new sprouts. The scene in front of him made Zhou Jianping finally breathe a sigh of relief for the construction of the vegetable base, after all, the old and young masters in the village, the old folks, most of them are not much different from illiterate, let them engage in this kind of fine labor with a certain technical content, to be honest, Zhou Jianping did not have a bottom at the beginning.
But to say completely assured, Zhou Jianping thinks that it is too early, don't look at the vegetables planted by each family have been normal seedlings, he knows that this at best only completes one-third of the entire vegetable planting process, and the subsequent watering and fertilization, insect control and disease prevention, field management is an important part of success or failure.
Leaving the village committee, Zhou Jianping asked the driver to send him home, and the driver, Xiao Sun, drove back to the city by himself.
The door of the courtyard at home was closed, it seemed that Chang Yuling and the child were not at home, Zhou Jianping couldn't enter the house, and when he was at a loss, a neighbor passed by and told him that Yuling took the child to work in the field.
"Working in the fields? Chang Yuling still took what she said last time seriously? Zhou Jianping muttered in his heart, the last time he went home, Chang Yuling said that he would plant vegetables on the more than two acres of land at home, and it seems that this is also a person who does what he says.
Zhou Jianping can't always stand outside the door, if he waits until noon, he will have to wait for at least an hour, he wants to go to Chang Yuling, but since he separated from his parents, he has never done farm work in the field, and he doesn't even know where his land is, where to find Chang Yuling's mother and son?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Jianping knew the location of his parents' land, and when he found his parents, he knew where his family's land was.
Zhou Jianping came to the ground and saw that his parents were working hard, "Mom, do you know what Yuling is doing?" ”
Chen Xiuhua was startled, and looked up to see her eldest son standing on the ground, "Jianping is back, are you looking for Yuling?" Ah, over there. Chen Xiuhua pointed to the right front.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
When I got to the front, I saw Mao Mao playing with mud, "Mao Mao, what are you doing?" ”
Chang Yuling glanced up, ignored Zhou Jianping, and buried herself in work again.
Zhou Jianping teased his son for a few minutes, and he walked up to Chang Yuling, "What you said last time, are you still serious?" ”
"What are you talking about? Inexplicable. Chang Yuling is still busy with the work in her hands.
"Last time, you said that you also wanted to grow vegetables, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
"Look at what you said, we are all adults, you are willing to play with this, as a child's play, I don't think so. If you say it, you have to do it, or what is he doing? ”
"I mean, if you're bringing a child, is it necessary?"
"I didn't delay taking the kids! Is it necessary? I also need to spend, I need to spend money, and besides, I do this because I want others to see that if other people can do it, I can do it too. Chang Yuling was originally a strong woman, she held her breath in her heart, and she always wanted to prove that she was not worse than others.
Lovely woman, what's the use of you being strong in this regard? Can you become young and pretty? Can you become a college graduate with a talent and knowledge of management? What contribution can you make to Zhou Jianping's enterprise development? You don't have any of these items, and now Zhou Jianping still cares about the two money you earn from growing vegetables in two acres of land?
Chang Yuling may understand that it is not helpful to do this, maybe she doesn't know that her husband doesn't care about these things anymore, but her options are very limited, and she doesn't know what else to do except prove herself.
Zhou Jianping obviously disagreed with Chang Yuling's statement, "Let the child use urine mud in the field, you also call it not delaying the child?" ”
