Chapter 33 Signing a contract at the mall
I was surprised that I hadn't been to the building during this time, and I didn't know anything about the business there. Since Manager Liu said this, I am a little skeptical, after all, he is a big shopping mall with a large flow of customers, no matter what the market of his vegetables and fish is, there are still people who buy them after all.
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Manager Liu insisted on taking me to his mall to have a look. I had to go into the mall, but I was half-pushing, as if I was a little reluctant. For the sake of Manager Liu's strong invitation, I pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.
So, he drove a BMW in the front, and I rode an electric tricycle in the back to the reputation building.
When he arrived at the vegetable section of the mall on the first floor, he pointed to the wilting dishes.
"You see these goods have become like this, no matter how cheap they are, no one will buy them, it's all thanks to you! I'm going to have to ask you for help, give me some supplies, or I won't be able to sell the food in the mall. The vegetable suppliers are also miserable, I have to reduce their purchases, you know that if the quantity of this vegetable is too small, there is no profit! ”
I also looked at the place where the fish was sold, most of the freshwater fish in the mall were sold fresh fish, if they could not be sold on the same day, they had to be crushed on ice, and it was not easy to sell after a long time, so they had to be reduced in price and sold to those customers who wanted to be greedy for a little cheaper, and the profits naturally shrank greatly.
I'm pretending to be reserved.
"There are no customers who come to the mall to buy vegetables and fish, even if I put my goods here, isn't it different that no one buys them?"
Manager Liu immediately explained.
"That's different! You don't know, not only the customers have reported to me, but even my salespeople are giving me advice, saying that there are better varieties of fish and vegetables in the convenience market, and if I don't buy some goods, the mall will lose most of the customers if it goes on like this. There is no way, I went to the convenience market to research, turned for several days, your goods sold the fastest, and when your goods were sold out, other people's vegetables and fish began to sell. At first, I didn't know it was you, but I just happened to run into it, and you have to help with this favor. ”
He looked anxious, as if he had fallen on me. I want to get away with it.
"My product is not green certified yet." I said deliberately.
"No problem! I can help you with that. Such a good vegetable, such a stearful fish, it can't be said that the green certification will not pass. ”
"Since Manager Liu is so confident and sure, I won't trouble you, I'll do it myself."
"Then go quickly, this afternoon, or I'll go with you, and you can supply me tomorrow."
He couldn't wait.
"That's not necessary." I pretended to be composed. "It's just that this product won't be available tomorrow."
Manager Liu was really a little anxious.
"Why?"
"Limited amounts. Even if I expand production now, I'll have to wait a while! ”
Manager Liu gasped.
"Oops! It's all my fault! Originally...... If I had helped you get the green certification, it wouldn't have been like this. Do you think this is good, the other vendors, you supply less goods, give me some, even if the amount is less, you give me first, you can't see death and not save it! ”
The vegetables that I just planted in my space will take two days to grow, but I know in my heart that there is still this amount for three or five hundred catties for the mall. But in order to maximize my benefits, I decided to delay the supply for him two days later.
"Manager Liu is like this, those vendors in the convenience market, I also make orders, to put it bluntly, it is a contract supply. I can't break my promise. You know, once we lose credibility in our business, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Manager Liu was disappointed, and when I felt that he was a little discouraged, I immediately gave him some hope.
"The supply of vegetables will definitely take two days in the evening, and I try to convince those vendors to give Manager Liu some even. I can supply this fish to the mall tomorrow, but it won't be too much, and it's only three to five hundred catties. ”
"That's fine!"
As soon as Manager Liu heard that there was hope, he immediately changed into a smiling face and hurriedly lit a cigarette for me.
I refused on the excuse that smoking was not allowed in the mall, and Manager Liu hurriedly took me out of the mall, went to his office, and lit a cigarette for me.
I stretched out two fingers and pretended to be there, he handed over the tea again, I crossed Erlang's leg and gently tapped the table to signal him to put it down, and Manager Liu smiled flatteringly. Even with such a nod, he didn't forget his business, and immediately took out the contract paper to sign a contract with me.
His contract is a standard contract, to put it bluntly, the mall has a lot of initiative, and it is very unfavorable to the party that supplies the goods.
"I can't sign this contract."
"Why?"
Manager Liu, who was still full of joy just now, suddenly froze on the spot.
I pointed to the contract and said, "What do you say?" The terms are unfair, as if the supplier has a lot of responsibilities, and the consignee just pays a payment, and all losses are counted on the supplier, which is unfair! ”
"Alas!"
Manager Liu sighed.
"That's how this contract is signed. If the supplier is not allowed to take some responsibility, to put it bigger, once there is an accident in our shopping mall, the loss will be too great. ”
I can understand the situation he said, but I can't lose my interests for the sake of his mall's interests!
"I only ask to add one more, the goods are loaded and settled, if it is not due to quality problems, it will not be returned. Otherwise, I'd rather not supply the mall. That's my bottom line. ”
I don't allow him to defend himself at all, he is begging me now, why don't I take this opportunity to firmly eat him.
Manager Liu frowned slightly, and then agreed.
He changed the contract and asked me to sign it. I saw that the price column was on the market, and I immediately put forward my opinion.
"The price is settled according to the price provided by the supplier. Of course, I am not asking for a sky-high price, this price is consistent with the convenience market, and I guarantee that Tong Su will not be deceived. ”
Manager Liu was a little hesitant.
"I'm a big mall! Are those convenience markets comparable? I have a lot of sales here, so you have to give me some discounts, and I can't compare with that small merchant and vendor. ”
I sneered twice.
"I'm sorry, Manager Liu, no matter how big the traffic in your mall is, I don't have so many goods to supply you, but those small merchants and vendors sell my goods very well. Do you think I need to reduce the price? If you insist, we won't sign this contract, so that you don't feel a loss, and I feel a loss. ”
Seeing that I was about to leave, Manager Liu hurriedly stopped me, lit a cigarette again, and put on a smiling face.
"Where did Manager Chen say that, in this way, the contract is written, no matter how small the amount of purchases is, it will be settled according to the unit price proposed by the supplier. What do you think? ”
I was happy in my heart, and I pretended to be embarrassed on the surface.
"Even if the price that Manager Liu gives me is higher than that of the convenience market, there is nothing I can do! But my hands were not idle, and I signed the three words Chen Lingyu.
Seeing that I signed, Manager Liu smiled.
