Chapter 306: Cooperation with Qiansheng Group?
"Uncle Sun, we have seven empty workstations responsible for packaging here, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend here. Yes, yes, yes, they all have health certificates. It's okay to start work this afternoon, and it's okay to go to work tomorrow, it's convenient to see everyone. Okay, then come to work tomorrow morning and handle the job by the way."
"Peace, as of 2 pm this afternoon, the order statistics form has been sent to your mailbox. The number of orders is a bit much, you have to organize a little manpower over there, and strive to send out all the orders within three days, it doesn't matter if you are old, you must keep an eye on the dry goods and buy them here, so that they can pay attention to it when packing, and don't let the bad ones get mixed in. The factory has already asked the factory to expedite the production of packaging bags, and 10,000 copies will be sent tonight, and they will be delivered at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest."
“.”
With the phone calls being made one by one, the interviews with the personnel are completed, the main matters are basically arranged, and the remaining small details can be supervised and filled in by these responsible persons.
The group of people who came from Hezibao before, after the Xu's catering headquarters was built, arranged for them to be responsible for cutting, packaging and delivery.
Now that orders for lo mei have skyrocketed, and the amount of lo mei that needs to be cooked is beyond the capacity of the existing manpower, this group of people has naturally been transferred to work in the kitchen, and the vacant places are filled by members of the Disabled Persons' Federation.
At present, the only problem is the supply of ingredients for Xu's lo-mei.
The meat business on the bald Chen's side is getting bigger and bigger, and now he has reached cooperation with several slaughterhouses, from chickens, ducks and geese to pigs, cattle and sheep and other meat, Xu An does not need to worry about the supply of meat.
However, whether online or offline, meat only accounts for 20% of Xu's total lo-mei sales, and the remaining 80% comes from vegetarian dishes.
Not long ago, we reached cooperation with other greenhouse growers in Qianhai Town, and the daily output can meet the needs of Xu's lo-mei, so there is no need to go to the wholesale market to purchase; But now that online orders have surged, that production capacity can no longer meet the demand for Xu's lo-mei.
Rather than relying on the wholesale market, Xu An wanted to reach cooperation with the greenhouse growers in the surrounding cities, and he also directly approached Lu Ziyue to ask about the feasibility of this idea: "Do you think that if you operate like this, will the purchase price of vegetables and fruits be lower than that of the wholesale market?" ”
"The cost of this operation will indeed be lower, and the big car in our store will basically be idle after two o'clock in the afternoon, as long as a driver + supervisor can be arranged." Lu Ziyue affirmed Xu An's idea with his years of work experience.
"These days, it's better to buy from the wholesale market for the time being, and when the sales of Taobao stores stabilize, you can talk to the greenhouse growers in the surrounding towns about cooperation."
"Cooperative boss of greenhouse growers, do you want to find long-term cooperation or short-term cooperation with greenhouse growers?" A cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between Xu An and the two, Xu An looked back when he heard the voice, and the person who spoke was Lu Shengnan.
"Katsuo, why are you here, aren't you going to take a day off today?"
"I saw the big eye hot list, two or three entries in a row on the hot list, the order will definitely explode, I'll come back to see if there is anything I need help with, and I also want to start work quickly" Lu Shengnan briefly explained the reason for his return and then asked: "Do you already have an intended partner?" ”
"Not yet" Xu An shook his head: "I still have to find time to go over there and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Lu Shengnan nodded, a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes, and he bit his lower lip lightly, as if he had something hidden in his heart and was struggling with whether to say it.
"Katsuo, do you have any recommendations?" Seeing this, Xu An immediately asked.
"Hmm" Lu Shengnan was silent for two seconds, nodded and said, "Boss, do you want to consider cooperating with the farm side of Qiansheng Group?" ”
Now that they have spoken, Lu Shengnan has fully revealed the plan.
"Their daily output is very high, and although the quality of vegetables and fruits is not as good as that produced in Qianhai Town, it is still better than the market. And the purchase volume is more than 1,000 catties, and the store within 100 kilometers can be delivered to the door."
"It's not appropriate, we've just poached so many people from the Qiansheng Group." Now it was Xu An's turn to be silent.
How to put it, before digging up thirty-four people in one go, it is not impossible to consider cooperating with the farms under the Qiansheng Group; But now that so many people have been dug up in one go, even if Qiansheng Group is not clear about the whereabouts of these people for the time being, the paper can't hold the fire, and when they know that these people have been poached by Xu's Catering, there will definitely be a pimple in their hearts, and it will be difficult for this cooperation to continue.
"Boss, although this farm is still under the name of Qiansheng Group, it is self-financing in terms of operation, and the business operation and financial statements are separated." Lu Shengnan seemed to guess what Xu An was worried about, and hurriedly explained: "Especially in the past two years, Qiansheng Group wants to transform real estate, and the farms and pastures are basically free-range, and they rarely ask."
Xu An, the farm of Qiansheng Group, has not been visited, but I have heard that it occupies a wide area, and a little fur is enough to supply the entire Xu's catering.
It's just that there is an example of Shengli Supermarket in front of us, so don't put pressure on it, but as a new and sufficient greenhouse partner, it would be great to be able to purchase from this channel.
"Katsunan, then the Qiansheng Group Farm will trouble you to help contact you." Xu An turned his head to Lu Ziyue and said: "Ziyue, the greenhouse growers in the surrounding towns still need to be contacted, it should be regarded as an alternative, it is not the best, and we are not afraid if there is a real need." ”
Neither of them had any objections to this task, and they nodded their heads in response.
Just when Xu An wanted to ask Lu Shengnan if he had made any plans and wanted to start that aspect of the work, the little girl at the front desk came over: "Boss, Zhao Wei Zhao designer came to visit, do you have time?" ”
Zhao Wei is here! It seems that the sketch of the design plan has been completed!
"Come in and get into the conference room." Xu An thought about it halfway through his words, and changed his words: "Forget it, I'll go out to greet you, you go to the conference room to open all the equipment, and prepare tea and snacks." ”
After that, Xu An stood up and was about to walk in the direction of the front desk, took two steps and seemed to think of something and stopped, turned back to Lu Shengnan and said: "This matter is also related to your work, let's go to the conference room together, and call Tang Wen together when I go over." ”
Not to mention Lu Shengnan, who went on a business trip to Hezibao just after joining the company, even Lu Ziyue, who has been working in the store, doesn't know what the specific matter is, but the boss has orders, so he will do it.
The two immediately took notebooks and pens and called Tang Wen to sit in the conference room, while Xu An walked straight to the front desk.
"Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally look forward to you!" When Xu An saw Zhao Wei's figure, he immediately spread out his hands and said exaggeratedly and enthusiastically.
"Hahaha, this task is related to the standard of Boss Xu's shop, don't you have to think about it carefully!" Zhao Wei clapped his hands on the Chinese bag and said with a smile: "The whole set of plans is here, Boss Xu is satisfied!" ”
"Then you have to see it to know, please come here on the second floor, the conference room is ready."
After a few pleasantries, the two walked together in the direction of the conference room on the second floor.
As early as after cooperating with the Haishi Disabled Persons' Federation, Xu An saw the shortcomings of this cooperation method.
In addition to the packaging bags and signboards provided by the store, each stall is varied without duplication, some ride small three-wheelers, some directly stack incubators, and some are simple trolleys
Without a unified standard, it is difficult to form a brand effect, and it is extremely easy to be imitated and plagiarized.
This is not that Xu An is worrying about the sky, after the members of the Disabled Persons' Federation set up stalls at the gates of major schools, in less than a week, there have been various vendors with the name of Xu's lo-mei, and some thieves and thieves directly wrote the words 'Xu's lo-mei' on the signboard, and some passers-by who did not know the situation were really deceived.
Among the many impostors, the most out of the way is naturally the lo-mei restaurant opened by the owner of Jinlong Fast Food, and I directly learned ten out of ten, from the types of braised dishes, sales prices, packaging, signboards, etc.
Like the stall operation at the entrance of the school, I have also learned it in place, but there is still a little difference. Xu An is cooperating with the members of the Disabled Persons' Federation, as long as he gives them the lo-mei they ordered, he will have both money and goods; But the Golden Dragon fast food restaurant hired employees to set up stalls in major schools, and all the profits belonged to the store.
Xu An's worry is not that the business will be robbed by them, but that if someone eats a bad stomach at these stalls under the name of 'Xu's Lo-mei', how will this account be calculated?
Even if this account is not counted on Xu's lo-mei, but this kind of misunderstanding has accumulated a lot, which will definitely affect the reputation of Xu's lo-mei, after all, the name of those shops is also called 'Xu's lo-mei'!
This kind of thing has to be guarded against.
Coupled with the [Rural and Urban Flowering] plan that Lu Shengnan said during the interview, if you want to expand, you must have a standard in all aspects.
Now, Zhao Wei is here with this standard.
The front of Xu's Lo Mei uses the packaging of Xu's fast food, but the LOGO has been slightly changed, and this time a new packaging has been designed, and the color is still the dark red that Xu's Catering has always used."
In terms of work clothes, considering the impact of seasonal changes, an apron and a baseball cap were selected as the standard clothing of Xu's Lo Mei. The baseball cap can be used to shade the sun in summer, and the apron can be worn all year round, which can greatly reduce the burden of work clothes on enterprises or individuals."
The image design of the chain store continues to use the iconic crimson of Xu's Catering as the basic color of the store. In order for consumers to be able to see the store of Xu's Lo Mei at first sight at night, the location of the light strip is designed behind the LOGO"
The signboards of the mobile vendors have also been redesigned, and the food trucks have been contacted by the factory to change the menu of the food trucks."
"Well, this is the current sketch of the Xu's Lo Mei VI standard, if you don't understand anything or want to modify it, you can put it forward."
After talking for half an hour, he finally went through all the contents of this set of VI until his mouth was dry, Zhao Wei picked up the unopened mineral water and took a big sip, and the dryness in his throat subsided.
When Zhao Wei's words fell, Lu Shengnan and the three of them raised their own questions one after another, but these questions were all small details and small problems, and after some discussion, a consensus was quickly reached.
"That's what needs to be modified and adjusted at present, Boss Xu, do you have any suggestions here?" Zhao Wei sorted out the revisions proposed by the three of them, and asked Xu Anlai, who had the right to veto and the final decision.
"This set of plans is very good, how long will it take to refine it in depth?"
"The preliminary work has been completed, and the rest is the adjustment of details, and the rest of the plan can be completed in three working days."
"Uh-huh." Xu An nodded and then looked at Lu Shengnan: "Mr. Lu, you contact the design company here to design a set of specific construction drawings according to the image of this chain store, and give a price estimate for ten square meters of store decoration."
"Okay." Lu Shengnan picked up the pen and quickly recorded this task, and then opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes swept to Zhao Wei and closed it again.
This little action did not escape Xu An's eyes, and after sending Zhao Wei away, Xu An took out his mobile phone and wanted to contact Lu Shengnan when he saw the message she sent.
[Boss, I would like to talk to you about the branch of Xu's Lo Mei Restaurant, is it convenient for you? 】
