The Proud Life of Rebirth

"At least 15.00% of the suppliers put forward price increases of different extents, and 20.00% is just an average value. Some manufacturers with fewer domestic competitors and more popular products even demanded price increases of [-]% to [-]% !" Qin Qin said.

Mo Shaokun didn't speak, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes slightly squinted, pondering.Sixty percent of the manufacturers asked for a price increase, tsk tsk, what a big deal!It seems that Zhang Xiaodong really has some ability to think of using this method to curb Sunday's growth and create opportunities for Wal-Mart.

"These white-eyed wolves, one by one, begged for products to enter our supermarkets. Without Sundays, many of them would have closed down long ago. Now they have grown up through the sales channels on Sundays. When their wings grow hard, they forget who helped them. They are simply a bunch of ungrateful people!" Qin Qin said angrily.

Mo Shaokun chuckled and said, "This world has always been so realistic. It's the nature of businessmen to seek profit. You can't blame them for this. On the contrary, I think they are kind and righteous."

"Huh?" Qin Qin looked at Mo Shaokun with some puzzlement, she didn't understand how her younger brother would speak for those white-eyed wolves.

Mo Shaokun flicked the cigarette ash and continued: "Think about it, why did these manufacturers suddenly ask for a price increase? Someone must have given them a higher price than ours to snatch this priority supply right! In this case, they In fact, there is no need to say anything more to us. They can abandon us and go directly into the arms of others. But they didn’t. They asked us to increase the price for the sake of old love. If we can give us the same price as the other party gave them The price tag, they will stay with us. Can you say they are heartless?"

Hearing what Mo Shaokun said, Qin Qin's expression recovered a little.Everyone is doing business, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing higher profits.People are not stupid, since someone offered a higher price, why should they give up?

As Mo Shaokun said, they did not directly abandon Sunday and throw themselves into the arms of the enemy, but gave Sunday a chance to choose, which is considered good.

"Then... what should we do now? If we agree to their price increase request, then our profit will shrink significantly. We are already making small profits but selling more, and it would be boring if our profits are shrinking. Besides, they demanded this The next supply contract should be signed for at least five years, which means that we will make little or no profit for at least five years!" Qin Qin frowned.

Mo Shaokun sighed softly, this matter is really difficult.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are there any substitutes among those suppliers?"

"Some have, but some don't."

"Those suppliers who can't find alternatives will be delayed with them for the time being. I remember that the priority contract we signed with them was until March 96, right? There are still a few months left, let's ignore them. Let the purchasing department immediately Contact those alternative merchants and find other suppliers as soon as possible.”

Qin Qin nodded.

"There is no need to keep this matter secret, on the contrary, let everyone know." Mo Shaokun said again.

"Why? If this spreads, wouldn't it be the same as pushing our original suppliers to the enemy?" Qin Qin didn't understand.Doing so will definitely make those original suppliers unhappy, and it will be difficult to handle if they go directly to their opponents.

Mo Shaokun chuckled and gave Qin Qin a strange look but didn't explain anything.

"Sister, if the opponent can get such complete supplier information from us, there should be something wrong within the company. Go check and find out who leaked it."

Chapter 394 Copying Sunday

Shencheng, Wal-Mart headquarters.

Zhang Xiaodong sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and listened to the reports of his subordinates. Now he is more and more like a big boss. He is wearing a hand-made suit and has a pure Cuban cigar in his mouth.Compared with the previous time on Sunday, it is obvious that his quality of life has improved by more than one level.

"So far, we have found suitable places in more than 150 second- and third-tier cities in the south. It is expected that the goals you set will be completed in the next year, and the decoration time can be opened simultaneously by May next year at the latest."

Zhang Xiaodong nodded with a faint smile on his face and said, "Very well, ask the logistics department to get through the channels as soon as possible. Logistics distribution is the key, and there must be no problems."

After a pause, he continued, "How's the situation with the supplier?"

The assistant pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "We have sent people to contact those suppliers according to your instructions, and they are happy to cooperate with us, but they are still hesitant about the priority supply rights, and only a few suppliers agree Signing a contract with us, most manufacturers said they would still consider it.”

Zhang Xiaodong took a deep breath and said with a chuckle: "Businessmen, no one would dislike making more money. You should pay close attention to the suppliers, and sign priority supply contracts with them no matter what! This is not only It is related to the expansion speed of our stores, and it can severely hit our opponents to buy us more time. Therefore, only success is not allowed to fail! Even if it is on this basis, it is not impossible to float up by five percentage points Can!"

The assistant frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Zhang, our cost will be too high if this happens. We are now choosing second- and third-tier cities. The traffic conditions in those places are very poor, and the logistics cost is very high. If we are increasing the cost of purchasing goods, then we will basically have no profit or even a great possibility of operating at a loss."

Opened his mouth, the assistant whispered again: "There are already many people in the company complaining about your development strategy, if..."

"Hmph! How can a sparrow know great ambitions? These people only look at the immediate interests, and they have a long-term vision if they want to achieve great things!" Zhang Xiaodong snorted disdainfully. How could he not know about the criticisms against him within the company?If it weren't for the fact that there weren't so many people who could use it, he would have wiped out all those guys long ago.

Without waiting for the assistant to speak, he continued: "It is true that the cost will increase, but it does not mean that we will operate at a loss! The cities we are choosing now are all cities that have not yet settled in supermarkets. Once our supermarkets open, it will be the first city." Home! In the absence of competitors, we have absolute pricing power, as long as the price of our items is slightly lower than the market price, customers will come.”

With reminiscence in his eyes, Zhang Xiaodong said again: "When the first store opened on Sunday, the manufacturers were still waiting and watching. The purchase price they got on Sunday was not much lower than those in those stores. Their selling price was only higher than the market price. It’s a little lower, but you’d never imagine the excitement of opening the first store on Sunday!”

"In these second- and third-tier cities, our only competitors are those small stores. Even though our purchase cost has increased, we still have an advantage over those small stores. It can be said that our current situation is exactly the same as that of the original Sunday. We want to What we do is to move what we did in Anping on Sunday to a smaller city! They can succeed, why can't we?"

"As for the increase in logistics costs, this can be offset by the low rent and labor costs in small cities. It seems that we will not lose money at all, and at most it will be small profits. When we increase the market size of small cities, we will have a certain After gaining market share, that’s when we make money! At that time, we will have the capital to lower prices with those suppliers.”

The assistant nodded when he heard Zhang Xiaodong's words. Although he didn't agree in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.Zhang Xiaodong has not been in Wal-Mart for a long time, but he has already demonstrated his absolute power.

Maybe it was because he was suppressed for too long on Sunday. After receiving the strong support of Mr. Daofu, Zhang Xiaodong can be said to be rampant in the company, and he doesn't listen to anyone's opinions.

Many people tried to persuade him, but in the end they were either kicked out of the company or assigned to other departments, so now no one in the company dares to refute his decision, even if someone doesn't like it, they can only secretly It's just a private discussion.

"Okay, I will ask Cui Yicui's purchasing department to let them get the supplier as soon as possible." The assistant said.

"Well, let's go."

After the assistant left, Zhang Xiaodong extinguished the cigar in his hand, got up and poured a glass of red wine in front of the wine cabinet, shaking the red wine glass with a little weird smile on his face and muttering: "You must have a headache now? This is just It's just the beginning, don't let me be too disappointed, if you can't even solve this trivial matter, hehe, it would be too boring..."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass. Now he feels full of fighting spirit. He is very confident in his plan. He believes that next year when the two hundred stores of Wal-Mart open at the same time, there will be great excitement. The second and third tier markets belong to Zhang Xiaodong, and he wants to bury Sunday step by step with the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside!

Anping, the police station near No. [-] Middle School.

The three brothers of Longmen waited in the office for more than two hours but did not see Director Li coming back, which made them very depressed and a little irritable.

"Brother, where has Director Li gone? Could you please call me?" one of them asked.

The little policeman looked down at the documents in his hand, without raising his head, he said, "Just wait, the director will come over when he finishes his work."

"Then why don't you let me call first? I still have urgent matters over there. If you are stuck here, let me inform them anyway, so as not to delay the matter."

"Hmph, call? Let's talk about it after you explain your problem clearly." The little policeman glanced at the younger brother and said in a low voice.

The three brothers looked at each other, and they all saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

'Crack...'

With a soft sound, the office door was pushed open, and Director Li came in humming a tune.

"Hey, Li Suo, you're back. If you don't come, I'm going to piss my pants here." Longmen boy looked at Li Suochang and said.

Director Li smiled and saw that the three of them did not speak. After talking with Wang Jiefei just now, they saw that they went to a nearby restaurant to have a meal when it was time for dinner.It's not that he wants to cool off these three people, but that he needs time to get to know the bottom of these three people.

At this moment, he already understood almost everything. The boy who hit him was called Mo Shaokun, and he was also a student of No. [-] Middle School.The police officers at the police station learned from the No. [-] Middle School teacher that Mo Shaokun had no background and was just a poor boy, which reassured Director Li a lot.

Mo Shaokun has no background, so it is conceivable that these three people should not have a big background.But even so, he still dare not be careless, he is a very cautious person, let Wang Jiefei handle this matter, in case any troubles arise, he will not be involved.

He waved at the little policeman, and after the other party left, Director Li sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "The three of you can go."

The three Longmen brothers were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Li Suo with some puzzlement.

"What? Can't you understand what I said?" Director Li frowned slightly and asked.

One of the three said: "Li Suo, you really confuse me."

"Okay, we have to deal with dozens of bad things like fights a day here, and that Wang Jiemin is not a good person, he deserves to be beaten. Letting you stand here for two hours is a lesson for you. In the future If you let me catch it, hehe, then maybe I have to be serious."

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they didn't suspect anything. Director Li was right. Struggles and fights are too common.These policemen are tired of dealing with it. Usually, at most, they arrest people and give them a symbolic lesson. As long as the family members don't pursue it, basically no one will take it too seriously.

"Oh, thank you so much. Don't worry, we brothers will never cause you any trouble in the future!"
