Serious people's play is the most boring thing.

The rain that began the day before yesterday had been falling intermittently for a long time, and I was originally scheduled to accompany them to visit Shanghai, until yesterday at noon, it rained again, and no one thought it was interesting.

And Xiao Ma looked at the water level on the street that was constantly filling the city's sewer system, thinking that the altitude in Shanghai was only a few meters high, and Qian Cai was busy answering the phone to talk about making money, and for a while felt that Shanghai was more dangerous than Yuecheng, and it was easier to contract poverty and illness if he stayed here, so he proposed to go home again.

This time, Lao Tong didn't stop it, saying that he didn't know when the rain would fall, and he would get together again next time.

Lao Li is also busy going back to get his beauty leopard.

"Then let's go back and meet again next time." Money set the tone.

"You don't even ask me?" The old horse was dissatisfied.

Qian Cai smiled and said with some disdain: "You are the most rolly!" Who is like you, coming out to play and bringing a laptop to work? When you are studying, you always study behind your classmates' backs, right? ”

Everyone laughed and dispersed, leaving the old horse lonely as snow.

……

May 3rd.

After 17 days, after a series of investigations and audits, the official finally determined that the Fuyou fake was a vicious incident, and obtained evidence of fraud for a small number of people.

But most of the funds could not be recovered, and they had already flowed to an offshore account.

Most of the confessions were supermarket employees on the other side, and because they couldn't withstand the pressure of censorship, a common upline identified had already fled.

NIO didn't do too much, just copied and pasted the official announcement, and sent it to the most conspicuous position on the official website.

It's just that the next article next to this notice is an analysis of the development situation of today's supermarkets by "experts", which opens in the second paragraph, a whole large paragraph, writes about the competitive situation faced by the development of Weilai supermarkets, and there are several supermarkets that form competition, including Wumart and Xinyijia, and the common major shareholder is Yulong Group.

It also used a short paragraph to describe in more detail a series of methods of integrating old state-owned enterprises of Yulong Group: most of them were auctioned off through bankruptcy law, and some high-quality net assets of enterprises were stripped of debts, and the land plots under their names were obtained.

It's just a narrative, and the language is very neutral, and it doesn't make any evaluation.

Soon, some good people on Weilai Weibo brought the two reports together to discuss, and various speculations abounded.

NIO did not condone it, and only in the evening, it deleted the second report, leaving only the notice, and reissued a statement: Don't speculate maliciously!

The discussion became more intense.

There are even netizens who ridiculed: Weilai has provoked a big enemy this time, you are finished! Look at other people's methods, when will they directly put you in court and sell them at a discount of 40%!

Immediately, some netizens replied: 40% discount? How can it be? The court can not look at the profit and brand value, but only sell according to the value of the physical assets! It's good to sell for 40%!

This time, the opponent Yulong Group, is not as unaware of the Internet as Zhongding, and the action is quite fast, and an announcement was made on the official website that night: On Weibo of Weilai Group, some malicious speculations about the company will be investigated by legal means.

The inspectors stationed by the Propaganda Department also gave their opinions on this matter: it is recommended to block the relevant content and not to trigger more discussions.

NIO agreed, but now that it is a holiday, there are not enough personnel, so it can only give priority to blocking some of the excessively high-profile remarks, and block them on a large scale, which needs to wait until after the holiday.

……

When Qian Cai saw this notice, it was already the next morning, just over half of the May Day holiday, Hu Wei did not go to work, so he followed Qian Cai to the company and accompanied him to drink tea in the chairman's office.

Hu Wei has spent a lot of time in the group in recent months, and has learned a lot of things: making tea, economy, and group affairs.

And as Qian Cai's pillow person, of course, she also knows the beginning and end of this confrontation with Dragon Weilai.

She stood next to Qian Cai, and when she saw him reading the latest announcement of the dragon control, she just stood behind him, helping him pinch his shoulder blades and relax his spirit.

After reading it, Qian Cai leaned back in the chair with a smile, looked up at her and said, "Zhou Lao Wu coerced a few second generations to mess with me, so I also disgusted them once yesterday... Do you think I'm going to take advantage of this time to expose all their dirty things? ”

Hu Wei said softly: "It depends on your mind." ”

"I'm too lazy to have a war of words with them, the main thing is that I can't hurt my muscles and bones, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, this Zhou Lao Wu is always willing to use his brains to find me some trouble."

Hu Wei said: "In the world for a hundred years, there are some small troubles every day, the best way is to ignore them, just wait for the autumn breeze to pass by your ears." ”

Qian Cai heard this and smiled: "Just waiting for the autumn breeze to pass through your ears?" I don't have the strength, but this time I have money in my hand, so let's not accompany him to play Tai Chi back and forth, just come to Ming, until they are subdued at one time. ”

"How do you want to fight?" Hu Wei said curiously.

"They have invested in supermarkets and mineral water, and mineral water has not yet left the Northeast, but Wumart is under the nose of East China, so let's start with East China."

"Isn't their supermarket still open? How to fight? ”

"It's time to do logistics first."

Qian Cai smiled and took out his mobile phone to dial Chu Wenming's number.

"Chairman."

"Ge Weidong's money has already arrived, right?"

"Well, it arrived yesterday afternoon."

"Bidding and negotiation with suppliers can begin."

"Okay."

……

That night, Ma Jialiang and Yue Lihua learned that the boss was going to start a big move, and called the chairman before and after, asking if they wanted to come back to assist in the bidding and negotiation with the supplier.

Qian Cai said with a smile, when the bidding meeting begins, you will come again, first grasp the operation and opening of Central China, and reduce the price, I am familiar with it, just watch my performance.

The two supermarket bosses did not dare to doubt the boss's all-round ability, but once again advised: there is still a lot of room for price reduction, and don't compromise easily.

On May 5, when the online discussion about Yulong reached its peak, Weilai's official website and Weilai's Weibo official account issued an announcement again: in response to Fuyou's incident, Weilai Supermarket will make significant adjustments to the supply side, changing the original provincial-level independent supply model to centralized supply, and on May 12, a week-long public bidding meeting will be opened in the press hall of the Shanghai Convention Center, and large-scale businesses are welcome to bid.

The following icons indicate the eligibility of the bidding meeting:

First, a company with a registered capital of more than 5 million.

Second, it must be a product manufacturer, or a first-class distributor of the product.

The conditions are simple, but they are enough to kill countless people.

The reason why the first-level dealers are released is because many manufacturers have signed agreements with first-level dealers in order to distribute goods and increase the ex-factory price, and they are not allowed to sell on their own.

This intermediary fee, if you do supermarkets and department stores, you have to give it if you don't want to.

Each of the original suppliers received a notice a few hours before the announcement, and the internal and external calibers were extremely unified: because of this trouble, NIO did not want to face the next trouble, so after thinking twice, it decided to change the supply model, and the original supplier could update the quotation by itself, and we will conduct comprehensive consideration and discuss whether it is suitable to continue cooperation through the meeting.

It's time for the fryer.

In addition to the bidding applications of various manufacturers flying like snowflakes, the original suppliers, the first to raise objections were the 11 companies in the original Z city that had signed the G high-level official supply agreement.

NIO's reply was also more direct: this public bidding, the bid price is transparent, everything is done in accordance with the contract, and if the supply price can be reached by 2% above the target, it can continue to supply.

……

On the same day, the supermarket headquarters issued a notice that the leaders of the provinces who were originally responsible for supply negotiation matters rushed to the headquarters to gather within May 6, and the chairman of the board of directors should hold a centralized meeting for training.

The provincial companies are confused.

Training? The chairman personally trained?

After checking the notice again and again, the provincial companies communicated with each other, and found that everyone did not know the situation and did not dare to ask, so they hurriedly booked air tickets.

The next day, when the team gathered at the headquarters, everyone was surprised to find that the leaders in charge of the negotiation matters were notified, but the general managers of the various provincial companies were all absent.

Of course they all came.

The notice stated that the chairman personally held a meeting to teach.

Who doesn't know that the chairman of the board of directors has never been virtuous in promoting leaders? If you have the opportunity to get along with the chairman, who dares to send your subordinates with peace of mind? If you behave well and the chairman takes a fancy to it, it will be a subordinate when you send it back, and it will be your boss when you send it back.

Don't talk about promotion or not, at least don't demote, right?

Qian Dong felt very bad when he saw this scene, but he quickly figured out the workplace rules in the hearts of these provincial managers.

Fortunately, these responsible persons are watched by provincial managers, so as not to worry about what they have in their hearts, and the implementation will not be in place at that time.

……

In two days, NIO received a large number of quotations by fax phone and email.

Some of the price reductions are very small, some of the price reductions are larger, and there are two strange companies that propose to raise prices, probably because they drank too much chicken soup from inspirational movies, and they are very confident in their products, listing a lot of evidence such as cost improvement and excellent quality.

The data is very detailed and looks very attentive, but Chairman Qian, who is sitting in the large conference room and personally handling the bargaining matters, saw these materials, looked through them, picked them up and shook them, and then threw them on the table casually, and continued to preach to the dozens of supermarket leaders below.

"These are unwilling to reduce prices, suppliers who are looking for reasons everywhere don't have to think too much, we will compare the source samples, vainly trying to use the quality as a reason, unwilling to reduce the price, after the product comparison stage, the reality will slap them in the face.

For the price of the first reply, we have to use the official channel to refuse, and all of them are rejected. These suppliers used to be negotiated by provincial representatives, and most of them had a lot of verbal agreements, so we had to use written form to correct their attitudes.

It's up to all of you here to do it, do a good job of researching their costs, give specific figures, and show them as percentages, or at least look accurate. ”

Soon, NIO replied to the quotations of various manufacturers, and the tone of the replies was similar, all of them were according to the template given by the chairman, and they were all sent by email and fax.

To X Company:

We are surprised by the quotation of X yuan for X series X products in 2003 sent by your company on the 6th, which is X% higher than the cost we can accept.

After the investigation of X similar brands and X supermarkets by our research department, such a price not only makes us have no room for operation, but also even if our company sells at cost price, the product does not have any advantage in similar products, not to mention let us assist your company to seize the market share of similar companies!

In order to better help your company promote this product and achieve our common goal, we can only accept the purchase unit price of x.xx yuan (specially indicated by the chairman that it must be accurate to two decimal places, so that the other party feels that we have carefully calculated).

If you accept this offer, you can ask your company to sign the cooperation agreement with our company on behalf of Manager Wang Jie at x o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise we can only express regret.

The core purpose of the crossword puzzle is to reduce the price, no matter how much the other party bids, you have to press down 5% to 20%, which is very easy for everyone to do.

The previous supply did not form an overall scale, and there were profit margins in the provincial supply, and now the unified supply, the price is obviously negotiable.
