One person becomes a tree, two people become a forest, and three people become a forest.

In just two days, rumors about Xu's catering and harvest farm have spread.

In the beginning, this rumor was circulated among the local suppliers of large and small in Zhuzhou City;

Subsequently, it spread rapidly from the mouths of the wholesalers who worked with these suppliers, to the ears of the heads of the companies involved in the snatching of the land parcels sold by the Victory Supermarket;

In the end, the heads of these companies added eyes, noses, and mouths to this groundless rumor, turning it into a credible 'real' incident that can stand up to scrutiny.

At this point, the rumors have turned into evidence that Harvest Farm is the manipulator behind Xu's catering

Zhuzhou City, Jiangyuan City, Dongqing City, Huijiang City

After the rumors circulated wantonly in the above cities, they finally flowed into the sea market and into the ears of the senior management of Qiansheng Group.

This Xu's catering is really a private attempt by Harvest Farm? If this is true, then why does Harvest Farm still launch a group catering business on the surface to compete with Xu's Catering for the market? ”

After Mr. Luo, one of the senior executives of Qiansheng Group, heard this rumor, he was a little suspicious, and couldn't help but find a friend who was also a member of Qiansheng Group to discuss this matter together.

"Well, maybe this rumor is true," the friend pondered for a moment before slowly uttering his guess:

"When Xu's Catering first appeared, it was just a roadside stall, and it took more than half a month to open a store.

But after having a store, the development of Xu's catering has become extremely rapid, Haishi TV station conducted interviews, won the lunch supply of Haishi Machinery and Equipment Expo, and then reached a cooperation with Haishi Disabled Persons' Federation

Among these important events that have made Xu's catering grow and grow, it is strange that a teenager under 20 can do this, which is too incredible

But if there is a harvest farm standing behind Xu's catering, from this point of view, do the above things suddenly become reasonable? ”

Listening to his friend's analysis, Mr. Luo couldn't help but nod and expressed his approval of his friend's speech.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he added limbs, torso, and hair to the rumor, making it more and more real.

"Do you remember Lu Shengnan, the previous general manager of the marketing department, after being transferred to Shengli Supermarket, she vigorously promoted the cooperation between Shengli Supermarket and Harvest Farm, and the contacts were quite close.

After leaving, I didn't go to so many large enterprises and big companies on the market, and went to work in a small shop that was still called 'Xu's Fast Food' at that time.

Now, I heard that the vegetables and fruits and other ingredients of Xu's catering are supplied by Harvest Farm, not only Haishi, but also hundreds of catties in other cities, and Harvest Farm has also sent them over abnormally."

Speaking of this, the two glanced at each other, and both saw a trace of astonishment in each other's eyes.

It turns out that the harvest farm has been laid out since half a year ago at the earliest?

The day before yesterday, they heard that the current person in charge of Shengli Supermarket had transferred a plot of land held by Shengli Supermarket to Xu's Catering, and everyone didn't care much about it at that time.

The height limit of 24 meters determines that this land cannot be built as an office building, and the area of the plot also determines that it cannot be developed into a shopping mall.

However, now after linking Xu's Catering with Fengshou Group, the behavior of the current person in charge of Shengli Supermarket is quite suspicious, and it is a bit of an internal ghost.

Xu's Catering was short of people, so he laid off employees here, and all the employees laid off were sent to Xu's Catering; Xu's Catering was short of land, so he transferred the land under his name to Xu's Catering.

After thinking about all this, Mr. Luo gritted his teeth and said: "No, if you want to take back the control of the harvest farm back into the hands of the group, then you can't beat the side drum anymore, you have to start from the harvest farm!" ”

"Isn't it because the harvest farm is ironclad that we can only make a fuss about the victory supermarket Starting from the harvest farm, this is too difficult!"

"Didn't they want to open up the terminal market and focus on Victory Supermarket for a long time?" Mr. Luo's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile: "Let's use Victory Supermarket as bait to drive it into the interior of the harvest farm and become a lever for us to pry the harvest farm!" ”

"So what do we do?"

"We. . And so on."

Two hours later, a succession of personnel appointments were issued, one of which was the current head of Victory Supermarket.

【. After the high-level meeting of Qiansheng Group, according to the needs of the work, Mr. Lee Jae-jin was transferred back to the headquarters as the deputy manager of the marketing department from November 1. 】

Tsk————

When Li Jaeren, the current person in charge of Shengli Supermarket, saw this order, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on his face very obviously.

Damn, it's only half a month away, as long as there is another half a month, I can raise all the ashes of Victory Supermarket!

How could he suddenly transfer himself back, Victory Supermarket is still running on the surface! The suppliers and customers who ended the cooperation did not have the ability to poke the matter on the table of the senior management of the Qiansheng Group.

Is this the East Window incident, or is there another trigger?

Li Zairen's right index finger lightly tapped the appointment on the computer screen, and after a long sigh of great regret, his right hand fell on the mouse, opened the OA website of Qiansheng Group, and the page slid to the bottom, with a soft 'click' sound, and an application page appeared on the computer screen, and the top of the page displayed - resignation application form.

At the same time, the printer in the office buzzed and spat out a freshly printed A4 piece of paper with the title - Notice of Resignation.

After filling out the resignation application form and confirming to send it, Lee Jae-in walked to the printer and picked up the "Resignation Notice", chuckled, and placed it in the center of the desk, and then pressed the switch of the shredder, and the thick pile of documents placed on the table was sent into the shredder's mouth one by one, turning into fine scraps of paper

It's just a little bit of a chance that I finally won. What a pity. It's really just a little bit close.

After looking around the office, Lee Jae-in picked up the blazer draped over the chair, grabbed the doorknob, and strode out of the office, meeting the oncoming employees.

"General manager, there are several documents here that you need to sign, which are proposals for Shengli Supermarket to change its business direction."

"Ah" Lee Jae-in raised his hand to look at the time when he heard this, and then said embarrassedly: "I have something to deal with temporarily, you can come back to me tomorrow." ”

"Okay." The employee turned around and looked at the documents in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and asked, "General manager, why don't I send these documents to your office first?" ”

"Ah, I have a lot of documents on my desk, I'm afraid I'll get confused if I send them over now, so I'll send them over tomorrow when you come to me, okay, it's hard work."

"Strange. It's weird. Very strange. Extremely strange."

Xu An was walking towards the office, and when he was halfway there, he heard Wang Fulong's emotion, and his pace of progress stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong, did you encounter any problems?" ”

After Wang Fulong looked up and saw that the person asking was Xu An, he immediately nodded and said: "I encountered a little problem, I have several bidding lists in my hand, either temporarily canceling the bidding, or talking about it well and suddenly saying that it needs to be discussed, and then there is no follow-up."

"Hmm" Hearing this, Xu An also felt strange, walked to Wang Fulong's side, and his eyes fell directly on the computer screen.

The screen displays a table, the upper part of which is sorted by company name, bidding opening time, special notes, and so on.

Xu An's attention did not focus on the first three columns, but looked straight at the column marked in red, from top to bottom, there were a total of thirty-four lines, only three lines of content were shown in green, and the remaining thirty-one lines were all red 'no' words!

"Thirty-one companies, it's really a lot" Xu An touched the blue stubble that had just grown on his chin, and asked with emotion: "How much has the success rate of the bid changed from before?" ”

"Before, I won two or three times out of ten bids, but now it's good to win one out of ten." Wang Fulong couldn't help but sigh again as he spoke, and said, "It's been three days in a row without harvesting." ”

"Explain in detail the cooperation of group catering in each city." Xu An pulled the chair behind him and sat down straight, waiting for Wang Fulong's report.

"There are 63 cooperative companies in Haishi, including 'two-yuan lunches', which serve 56,000 lunches a day. In Zhuzhou City, there are 31 cooperative companies and enterprises, which provide 21,000 meals per day in Jiangyuan City, and 16 cooperative companies, which provide 6,000 meals."

Xu An nodded again and again while listening, and was quite satisfied with the number of cooperation.

In mid-October, it was decided to go out of the sea market, and in more than half a month, it won the cooperation of 378 companies and enterprises in 13 cities, with a total of 165,000 bento lunches, and this growth rate has reached or even exceeded the initial expectations.

"It's not bad" Xu An nodded and smiled: "You still have to participate in the bidding, you can win the best, if you can't win it, forget it. The most important thing for us now is to maintain these cooperative customers and make them have a sense of identity with Xu's Catering.

After all, the catering companies in the city have noticed us, and it will be more and more difficult to get new orders in the future, and old customers must be maintained."

Listening to Xu An's words, Wang Fulong also recovered from the frenzy of rapid order growth, and his mind regained clarity.

As the boss said, other group catering companies reacted and began to encircle and suppress Xu's catering, at this time, we must not mess with ourselves, we must first firmly grasp the old customers in our hands, and then develop new customers.

In the first half of the expansion, half of the customers were won through normal bidding, and the remaining half of the customers were contacted and introduced by the Disabled Persons' Federation of various cities.

"Then, boss, the remaining eight prefecture-level cities, shall we still participate in the bidding?"

"Hmm" Xu An touched the stubble again, pondered for a while, and nodded: "I still have to participate, but the threshold mentions three hundred people, and we will open a branch after winning the group meal list for three hundred people." When the branch is opened, we will consider those orders with less than 300 people."

With that, Xu An stood up and sent the chair back to the back workstation, went straight back to the office, and gently knocked on Lu Shengnan's desk with his fingers.

"Boss, what's wrong, is there something I need to deal with?"

"Well, let's do an analysis report on various provinces and cities in China, and screen two or three suitable cities Xu's Catering has gained a firm foothold in Haishi, it's time to go out of Haiyang Province and take a look."

——————

On the high-speed train to Hezibao, an ordinary man of medium stature stared intently at the scenery whistling by outside the window, and his heart was full of uneasiness.

This man is Lu Chuan, who gave two drinks to the recipe in the tasting feedback, as he wished, he got the offer from Xu's Catering, but unfortunately, the place of work is not in Haishi, but in the mountains in Qingyan Province, thousands of miles away.

If it weren't for Xu's Catering appearing on the TV stations of Qingyan Province and Haishi before and after, and being able to prove that it was really engaged in industry in the mountains and helping local people get rid of poverty and become rich, Lu Chuan would definitely wonder if he was going to be deceived into working in a black coal kiln.

I don't know what the road ahead is, but let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, just run away!

With such an idea, Lu Chuan hesitated and resigned from his job at Haiquan Beverage Company and embarked on the journey to Hezibao.

Hai Duong province is more than 1,300 kilometers away from Thanh Yen province, and it takes 8 hours and 17 minutes by high-speed train.

Pack up your things and go out at eight o'clock in the morning, the high-speed train will leave on time at nine o'clock, and the high-speed train will arrive at the station at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Unlike the weather in Hai Duong Province, where you can still wear short sleeves, Qingyan Province has already put on thin jackets and sweatshirts and other warm clothing, and as soon as the high-speed rail door was opened, I felt the cold air invasion, and after walking out of the high-speed rail, I shivered fiercely.

It's cold!

Following the flow of people out of the platform, Lu Chuan hurriedly walked to the corner, intending to rummage through the suitcase to find clothes to keep out the cold, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Lu Chuanlu?" The man with black-rimmed glasses was the first to ask.

Lu Chuan glanced at the man from top to bottom, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he asked vigilantly, "Are you?"

"Hello Mr. Lu, I am Li Sixin, the secretary of Hezibao, and Boss Xu of Xu's Catering specially asked me to come and pick you up to go to Hezibao."

After contacting Lu Shengnan to confirm the identity of the comer, Lu Chuan followed Li Sixin out of the high-speed rail station, got into a van, and staggered in the direction of Hezibao.

At the beginning, Lu Chuan thought that he was welcoming his arrival and specially asked people to come to pick him up.

But when the van left the smooth asphalt road and drove on the bumpy loess road, looking at the thousands of mountains and ravines at the end of the road, and listening to the sound of branches and leaves banging on the car window on the side of the road, Lu Chuan realized that if he didn't let someone pick him up, he really couldn't find the way.

The more than two hours of loess road had already made Lu Chuan's heart beat the side drum, and when he saw the houses in Hezibao, his heart was directly half cold.

This working environment seems to be worse than I imagined!

Is this really an inhabited village, isn't this really an abandoned village full of traces of time erosion?

I won't really be sold to the mountains to work as a coolie by Xu's Catering!

Lu Chuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and looked back at the road, the figure of the van had completely disappeared from view, and everywhere he could see was the grass and trees shrouded in the night

"Hello Mr. Lu, I am Xu Heping, the person in charge of Xu's Catering stationed in Honghe City." Xu Heping grabbed Lu Chuan without saying anything, walked to the kitchen, and said enthusiastically:

"It's been hard along the way, are you hungry, in order to welcome your arrival Mr. Lu, we specially made fragrant braised pork today, and stewed mushroom chicken soup This chicken, which was bought from the third aunt's house in the village, eats whole grains, and tastes very fresh."

Looking at the table full of dishes, Lu Chuan's mouth quickly secreted the fluid in his mouth

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing standing still, come here!"

"Ahh Well, here we are! ”
