Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 37: Happy buying, safe to use

Tang Yuqiang handed over a business card with both hands. Fang Mingyuan took it and took a look, and couldn't help but feel happy - the general manager of Jingkelong Supermarket! In his previous life, he knew that Jingkelong was a medium-sized supermarket chain in the capital.

Enterprise, as for whether Jingkelong existed in this life, he really didn’t know. Unexpectedly, when he came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he actually met another Jingkelong.

"It's not as good as Carrefour Supermarket, it's just a small business in Shanghai and surrounding provinces!" Tang Yuqiang said with a smile.

However, although he said this, Fang Mingyuan understood that those who could open supermarket chains in Shanghai and surrounding provinces and gain a firm foothold must be people with certain connections in the local area. No wonder he dared to say that in Shanghai

Here, he still has three-point thin noodles.

"I'm still in school and I don't have a business card." Fang Mingyuan handed the business card to Lin Rong and said awkwardly. He was not lying. He had never officially purchased a business card.

Of course, Tang Yuqiang didn't know whether Fang Mingyuan's words were true or false, but after seeing his business card, someone who could be so calm and composed was naturally not an ordinary person, so he wisely left.

"Mingyuan, Hukelong Supermarket can be considered a large-scale supermarket chain company in Shanghai. There are about 30 small and medium-sized stores, and fixed assets exceed 500 million." Seeing Tang Yuqiang's car leaving,

Lin Rong then said thoughtfully, "It is said that its major shareholder is named Tang. No wonder he can become the general manager of the supermarket at such a young age."

Fixed assets exceed 500 million! So in the supermarket chain industry, it can be regarded as a large-scale enterprise. Fang Mingyuan touched his chin...

"What bad idea are you thinking of?" Uda Mitsuri held his arm affectionately and said softly, "We are here to relax!"

"Okay, okay, relax!" Fang Mingyuan patted Uda Guangli's hand and said with a smile.

The group of people wandered around like this until around 4 p.m., when they arrived at the headquarters of Carrefour Supermarket.

We took the elevator to the ninth floor. As soon as we exited the elevator door, we were faced with a lobby. Around the lobby were small spaces composed of sofas and bonsai. At the very end of the lobby was the reception desk.

"Brother Fang!" Before the lobby could be seen clearly, a voice of surprise came from the corner of the lobby. Following the voice, it was Tang Yuqiang who had broken up recently and stood up from the corner of the lobby.

He kept waving to Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan signaled Lin Rong to take Uda Guangli and the others in first, while he and Chen Zhong walked towards Tang Yuqiang.

Tang Yuqiang affectionately took Fang Mingyuan's hand and sat on the sofa and said: "It turns out that Brother Fang is here too. If I had known this, we would have come together. Brother Fang is here to do business too?"

"Well, something happened." Fang Mingyuan noticed that there was a middle-aged man sitting here.

"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Luo Yuandaluo, whose family runs a porcelain factory. Brother Luo, this is my friend I just met, brother Fang Mingyuan." Tang Yuqiang introduced to both parties.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Luo Yuanda hurriedly smiled. Although Tang Yuqiang was vague, Luo Yuanda has been working hard in the mall for many years. One look at Fang Mingyuan's temperament, and then the person following him.

Chen Zhong knew that this was definitely not an ordinary person.

The three of them sat down, and Chen Zhong sat down on one side. Tang Yuqiang asked someone to bring two more cups and put on a pot of tea.

"Manager Tang, Mr. Luo, what are you..." Fang Mingyuan is a little strange. You said that if there is something to discuss between the two of them, they can't discuss it anywhere. Why come to the lobby of the Carrefour supermarket headquarters to discuss it with their wealth?

I mean, it's not worth saving this little money.

"I have something to do, and I want to negotiate with the purchasing department of Carrefour Supermarket. Brother Luo is a middleman." Tang Yuqiang said with a smile, "I have no choice, and I don't know what this Carrefour Supermarket wants to ask the people from the purchasing department of the headquarters.

Ah, to negotiate purchase contracts, they must be in the Carrefour supermarket headquarters, either in the office or here. And they are not allowed to eat or drink with customers. Of course, if the personal relationship is good, that is another matter. But if there is no such

It's a reasonable relationship. If I'm caught eating or drinking with customers outside, I'll be transferred from the purchasing department, or kicked out of the Carrefour supermarket. So, Brother Luo can only accompany me here."

Fang Mingyuan nodded. He knew that this rule was drawn up by him and Sun Zhaolun together. As the leader of China's supermarket chain industry, Carrefour Supermarket purchases an astonishing amount of goods every year. Although Carrefour supermarkets everywhere also have

Some autonomy, but most of it is limited to those local fresh products. All rights for large purchases that are needed by supermarkets in various places and the amount is relatively large are given to the company headquarters, and then the headquarters contacts each company about the goods.

The place of delivery. This is also to prevent purchasing personnel from doing anything in it to the greatest extent. As for the purchasing department of Carrefour supermarket, the salary and benefits are among the best in Carrefour supermarket. Of course, the management is also extremely strict.

Salesmen from manufacturers in various places like these are accustomed to building good relationships with people in the seller's finance and purchasing departments. On the one hand, this is to allow the purchasing staff to be more aggressive in terms of price and looser in terms of quantity; on the other hand, it is to allow them to

The financial department can be more relaxed when paying for goods and stop procrastinating. So eating and drinking is a very common thing.

But here at Carrefour supermarket, this method is useless most of the time.

Fang Mingyuan paid special attention to finance and procurement from the beginning of building Carrefour Supermarket. He and Sun Zhaolun paid great attention to the rules and regulations of these two departments. As a joint venture and a private enterprise, it naturally would not

Provide employees with a big pot of rice and an iron rice bowl. Employees in Carrefour supermarkets all know that the company will not fire people easily when working in Carrefour supermarkets. Even if a mistake is made, as long as it is an unintentional mistake, the company's punishment will not be severe.

However, some regulations are of a high-voltage nature. Once violated, there will be no mercy. Especially in the personnel, finance, procurement, and customer service departments, although the salary and benefits are good, there are also many rules, and they are expelled from the company every year.

There are even many people holding people responsible.

"Manager Tang, as the saying goes, fellow travelers are enemies. What else can you, Hukolon Supermarket, do to ask you to come to Carrefour Supermarket?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a smile.

Tang Yuqiang smiled and said: "I'm not hiding this from my brothers. It's true that colleagues in the same industry are enemies, but that also depends on the specific circumstances. In the Shanghai market today, the chain supermarket industry is far from saturated, and there is still a large market.

For everyone to develop, how can we fight hard at this time? Besides, seeing that this foreign supermarket giant is about to enter the domestic market, no matter how hard we fight in the country, we are all from the same country, so won’t we be able to take advantage of those foreigners?

!We can’t do things that we would rather give to foreign friends than to Chinese people.”

Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly. Although Tang Yuqiang was a bit lustful, he still seemed to be a sensible person.

"I came here this time just to discuss with the people at Carrefour Supermarket whether some of the products of Hukelong Supermarket can also be included in the purchase contract of Carrefour Supermarket in the future." Tang Yuqiang continued.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan couldn't turn around and looked at Tang Yuqiang in surprise.

"Manager Tang, let me tell you, anyone who hears your idea will be shocked." Luo Yuanda looked at Fang Mingyuan's appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Fang, that's what I think. For many commodities, Hukelong and Carrefour supermarkets have common needs, and Carrefour Supermarket's purchase quantity is much larger than that of Hukelong Supermarket. In this way, Carrefour Supermarket has the same demand from manufacturers.

The purchase price that can be obtained is much lower than that of Hukelong. Although Hukelong is not as good as Carrefour Supermarket, its annual purchasing volume is quite considerable. In this way, the purchasing volume of the two companies can be combined with that of the manufacturer.

It is required to continue to lower the ex-factory price. This will undoubtedly be beneficial to Carrefour Supermarket. As for Hukelong Supermarket, even if Carrefour Supermarket is a middle-priced seller, the purchase price will not be much lower, but it will still be better than Hukelong Supermarket.

Wouldn't it be better for Long to negotiate with the manufacturer himself?" Tang Yuqiang explained.

"But... in this case, wouldn't Hukelong's purchase channels be lost? When the relationship between the two companies is good, it doesn't matter. If there is any conflict between the two companies in the future, wouldn't Hukelong have to reopen the purchase channels?

Channels?" Fang Mingyuan still couldn't figure it out. He knew, however, that in the future supermarket industry, purchase channels would be a major issue related to the life and death of the company.

Tang Yuqiang waved his hand with a smile and said: "Of course we are not handing over all purchase channels to Carrefour Supermarket. Besides, we will also have representatives in future contract negotiations. However, what I value most is Carrefour Supermarket.

Quality Inspection Center.”

"Quality inspection center? What does this have to do with it?"

"Of course it does matter!" Luo Yuanda said with a smile, "Brother Fang, do you know why this Carrefour supermarket has been able to develop rapidly? Because it mainly develops in first-tier cities in China, and the residents here are relatively wealthy. Compared with the commodities

In terms of price, they pay more attention to the quality of goods, especially those for food, drink, and clothing. There are too many fake and shoddy goods in China now. When people buy cigarettes, they buy fake cigarettes, when they buy wine, they buy fake wine, and when they buy medicine, they buy fake medicine.

, there are fakes when buying electrical appliances. There are even deaths caused by fake and shoddy products. Isn’t it a tragedy that you can’t buy real products by spending the same money as buying genuine products? And many times, everyone just has

I can't find a place where I can buy it with confidence! And this Carrefour supermarket has established a quality inspection center since it was in Qinxi Province. It is said that the inspection equipment inside is imported from abroad. For the quality of goods,

The standards are even stricter than those of the Quality Supervision Bureau! As long as the standards are not met and the Quality Inspection Center sends an official document, the purchasing department will come to ask for returns and exchanges. And no matter what manufacturer you are, it is a national inspection-free product.

Every batch will be randomly inspected every time. And if it fails three random inspections, Carrefour Supermarket will not purchase this product that year. If you still want to put it on the shelves of Carrefour Supermarket, you will have to re-purchase the product next year.

The purchasing department conducts negotiations. In the past few years, it has actually managed some enterprises. Therefore, everyone believes that shopping at Carrefour Supermarket will make you happy and safe!"
