Chapter 227: Fukuda Yasugen
The goods of Walmart Supermarket are composed of two parts, one part of the goods is brought by Chen Liqing from Fangcheng and Guizhou through shipping, plus Fangcheng himself planted. And some other common commodities are purchased directly from the nearest local manufacturers by Chen Liqing.
While the popularity of supermarkets brings profits, it also causes problems in their supply chains.
Transportation from Chinese mainland, not to mention traffic problems, there are so many things, Chen Liqing and they only have five merchant ships responsible for transportation. The daily consumption of supermarkets is far from meeting the supply requirements with such a fleet of ships. It has only been open for two or three days, and all the accumulated goods that they have shipped over in the previous few shipments have been sold, and if it weren't for some supplies from local manufacturers, I am afraid that this Walmart supermarket opened by Chen Liqing would become the first supermarket to go bankrupt because of the lack of supply of goods.
At the same time, even if there are manufacturers responsible for supply, but those manufacturers did not expect the supermarket to be so popular, even if they are full of horsepower, the goods they produce are just enough, and some even have a big shortage.
Unexpectedly, Chen Liqing didn't expect the supermarket to be so popular at all, so after facing the shortage of goods, he immediately made a measure to shorten the opening hours of the supermarket and wait for the follow-up goods to be on the shelves as much as possible. At the same time, Chen Liqing also actively asked Xie Haiyang and them to contact other ships and let them help transport fruit goods from Fangcheng.
It's just that before they could go to find someone else, someone with a keen sense of smell had already come to the door.
Yasumoto Fukuda, a fleet owner in Osaka who is known for his transportation, runs a shipping company under his command, and his usual business is to transport some raw materials between China and Japan.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to Chen Liqing's supermarket, but during the period when Chen Liqing's supermarket was popular, the housewives of Futian Kangyuan's family were naturally interested in visiting the supermarket. During this visit, Futian Kangyuan also ate fresh and novel fruits and vegetables pulled from Fangcheng.
The moment he ate it, his eyes lit up.
"Where did you buy this apple?" Fukuda Yasugen seemed to have grasped something, and immediately asked her wife.
Of course, her wife answered truthfully, and then, Fukuda Yasumen knew the news that a supermarket had opened in Osaka, and with a touch of curiosity, Fukuda Yasumen found a time to also come to the Walmart supermarket located next to Sakura Park.
"Walmart Supermarket, when did such a place appear in Osaka, and the business here is too hot, right?" Walking in the supermarket, looking at the bustling crowd in the supermarket, watching the crowd smiling and loading the same thing into a small cart, the sensitivity of the shipping merchant made him quickly notice, so many people consume so many things every day, where do these things come from?
In particular, some novel and delicious fruits and vegetables as well as ordinary products, which he had never seen at all, and even if he went to Europe, he didn't seem to have seen them, and from his own point of view, he also knew that these things could not be produced in his own country.
Business opportunities, especially when I saw some shelves showing the word out of stock, and I didn't buy them when I obviously had items, Fukuda Kangyuan was moved and seemed to have found a business opportunity. And after a detailed investigation, Fukuda Yasugen finally learned that these things were actually pulled from abroad.
Then he learned that the supermarket was doing a brisk business, and it seemed that many things were out of supply.
Knowing this, he knew that his business might be coming.
"Oh, there's one who said he was looking for me?" On this day, when Futian Kangyuan came to the supermarket to find the person in charge, Chen Liqing was still thinking about some solutions to the supply problem with Wax.
"Okay, let him in." Although he was a little confused, Chen Liqing and Vax glanced at each other and still let the person himself come in to see him.
Their people quickly brought Fukuda Yasugen over.
"Mr. Fukuda, this is our boss, Mr. Wax." Yin Xiu has also returned to her hometown now, and after arranging things at home, she came to Yuben to be Chen Liqing's secretary full-time, and after bringing people in, Yin Xiu introduced Wax to Fukuda Kangyuan according to Chen Liqing's arrangement.
"Your boss is a foreigner?" The moment he saw Vax stand up, Yasuo Fukuda was a little stunned.
"Yes, our boss is a real British." Yin Xiu replied in a proficient language, and at the same time, after a simple explanation to Fukuda Yasuyuan, she said something to Wax in English that she was not very proficient in for a while that everyone did not understand, and Wax immediately replied in English.
Yin Xiu is still a language genius, and when she was in the book, she not only learned some Chinese language, but she could even speak some simple English. And after Wax took a period of time to teach Yin Xiu, Yin Xiu spoke English more easily.
This passage of the conversation between Chinese and English and English to Chinese suddenly made Fukuda Yasugen feel the pressure.
However, even if there was pressure, after a period of greetings, Fukuda Yasugen still said straight to the point: "Boss Wax, I actually want to help you this time." Recently, I inquired that there seems to be a problem with the supply of your supermarket, I am the owner of this ocean company, and I happen to have a batch of idle ships on hand, I don't know if I can provide it to you, the boss of Vax? He still has some experience in dealing with foreigners, and knows that foreigners don't like to beat around the bush, so he directly asked Yin Xiu to translate for Wax.
This sudden help sent to the door naturally surprised both Wax and Yin Xiu, but they did not express their position immediately, but after asking Fukuda Yasugen to introduce his fleet, they found a reason to send Fukuda Yasugen first.
And after Fukuda Yasugen left, Yin Xiu and Wax naturally quickly told Chen Liqing such a reference.
Said I came to the door to help?
After Chen Liqing heard the translation of the two, his little eyes suddenly fell into thought. He thought of finding a fleet to help transport goods after encountering difficulties in transporting goods, but he never thought of hiring his own fleet to transport goods for him. On the one hand, it is his personal emotional factor, and on the other hand, if he really lets him participate in the defense of the city, it may expose his strength.
However, it is undeniable that Futian Kangyuan's ocean shipping fleet is very tempting for Chen Liqing now. The transportation volume of 10,000 tons of waterline, once such a large fleet is joined to help transport goods, it will be a big stimulus to Fangcheng's foreign trade exports. It can be said that once the sea transportation is opened, the rest of the city is only responsible for production, and other things will be solved by others.
This is also what Chen Liqing wants to see, but no one thought that the first person to participate in such a kick is himself, so whether to let him help or not let him help, Chen Liqing had to calculate. (To be continued.) )
