Chapter 555 It’s time to change cars (810.01 million)
After driving the Buick LaCrosse to the city, Cao Shujie went directly to the five-star department store in the city center. ◆????????????Search????????????.
??????◆
Jiajiayue Supermarket is on the negative 1st floor of the Five-Star Department Store.
After parking the car, Cao Shujie walked towards Jiajiayue Supermarket in the parking lot.
After entering, Cao Shujie found that there was a lot of traffic here.
He did not directly ask who was responsible for this area, but observed carefully in the supermarket.
In particular, the area in the supermarket specifically used for displaying snacks was the focus of Cao Shujie's observation.
There are jellies, candies, various individually packaged biscuits, and cakes of various flavors and brands, and there are quite a lot of them.
Instead, they were preserved fruit snacks, and Cao Shujie didn't find any of them.
"Can't it be sold?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.
He wasn't sure.
After standing here for more than half an hour, Cao Shujie did not leave this area.
This move caused the waiter next to him to come over and ask him twice, what did he need to buy? What else could they do to help?
At first, Cao Shujie politely declined the other party's kindness. When he was finally about to leave, Cao Shujie went over and asked the waiter where he could buy preserved fruit in the supermarket.
"You want to buy dried sweet potatoes, right? They're not here, they're on the side selling handmade cakes." The waiter said to him.
Cao Shujie was stunned. He bought a dried sweet potato made of wool.
But after Cao Shujie expressed his gratitude to the other party, he followed the path she pointed to where the cakes were sold.
Different from the area selling snacks just now, here are hand-made cakes. In addition to cakes, there is also a row of transparent plexiglass boxes outside the cake room, which contain the dried sweet potatoes, dried kiwis, raisins, and Xinjiang that the waiter mentioned.
Big red dried dates, etc.
Apart from anything else, when Cao Shujie saw the layer of white sugar coating the dried sweet potatoes and dried kiwis, he had no desire to buy them.
This thing is probably too sweet. Who can eat it?
After standing here for 20 minutes, Cao Shujie found that there were not many people buying these things.
This made Cao Shujie scratch his head a little.
Obviously, this item is not sold very well in supermarkets.
In comparison, more people buy jelly, candy, various individually packaged cakes and biscuits.
While Cao Shujie was watching here, he saw many people buying these snacks for their children, or some young people buying them for themselves.
While he was thinking about something, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Cao Shujie turned around and saw that the person calling him was Cao Fei.
"Shujie, it's really you. I thought I was seeing the wrong person just now." Cao Fei came over.
"When did you come? Why didn't you call me?" Cao Fei asked him.
Cao Shujie said: "I just arrived, are you coming down to check again?"
"No, let's come down and buy some daily necessities while we're not busy." This is what Cao Fei said.
He took out a red card from his trouser pocket and showed it to Cao Shujie: "For the benefits provided by the company, you can buy them from here and just swipe your card. You don't have to spend your own money."
After finishing speaking and putting the card away, Cao Fei asked him again: "Shujie, what did you come here to buy?"
"I wanted to sell something, but I found that the supermarket didn't sell it."
"What are you selling? Fruits?" Cao Fei wondered.
Speaking of this, Cao Fei thought of something: "Are you selling the snacks just produced in your factory?"
On the day the company opened, Cao Fei and the others also went there.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I looked around here just now, but I didn't find anyone selling preserved fruit."
"Hey, what do I think is going on? Supermarkets are so big. If they don't sell this, they will sell that. Isn't this normal? If you want to enter the supermarket, just talk to their supermarket manager directly." Cao Cao
Fei explains the key in one sentence.
Cao Shujie was stunned for a moment.
"It's true." Cao Shujie felt that his mind was stuck in a weird circle. He didn't need to look at what was sold here, as long as his own products were good.
To put it bluntly, supermarkets also want to make money. If their products are sold here, the supermarket will make money, and both parties will be happy.
"Cao Fei, do you know their store manager?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Fei nodded: "We know each other, we often interact."
According to Cao Fei, when Jiajiale Supermarket does publicity and promotions, it must go to Cao Fei. Occasionally, they will have a meal together to deepen their relationship. After going back and forth, the relationship between the two is not bad.
After listening to what Cao Fei said, Cao Shujie was full of emotion. At the most critical moment, his gang of teenagers can always help.
"Shujie, are you looking for Manager He now? If so, I'll give him a call and introduce you to a meeting. If you have any questions, you can talk among yourself." Cao Fei said this.
The specific matter they were talking about was between him and the manager of Jiajiayue Supermarket. Cao Fei didn't want to get involved because money was involved.
"Then you give him a call and I'll talk to him." Cao Shujie said.
Some people send small favors, no matter whether they succeed today or not, at least they save Cao Shujie a lot of trouble.
"Cao Fei, if you don't have anything else to do at noon, let's go to Cao Zhen's place for a drink later." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Fei wondered: "Aren't you going back in the afternoon?"
"There's no rush to go back, it'll be the same tomorrow." Cao Shujie said.
Regardless of whether the conversation can be settled, Cao Shujie wanted to have dinner with him in the evening, and he also wanted to talk about some details.
Cao Fei didn't know what he was planning to do, but he could guess some of it: "We have plenty of opportunities. Don't be in a hurry about eating. I'll call He Wei first and you guys can talk."
After finishing speaking, Cao Fei stopped buying daily necessities. He stood there and took out his mobile phone to call He Wei, the manager of Jiajiayue Supermarket.
Cao Fei's call was quite manageable, and He Wei came over not long after.
He looks about 40 years old, has a fat build, and always has a smile on his face.
When he saw Cao Fei, He Wei even called Director Cao with a smile.
"What's the matter, Director Cao? Did you find out where we failed?" He Wei said jokingly.
Cao Fei waved his hand: "Manager He, don't think too much."
Then he introduced Cao Shujie to He Wei, and also explained the reason why Cao Shujie came.
He Wei suddenly realized that Cao Shujie ran a factory and wanted to send snacks from their factory to Jiajiayue Supermarket.
"Mr. Cao, I really can't help with this matter. Our supermarkets all purchase directly from the headquarters and distribute them uniformly," He Wei said.
Cao Fei asked him: "Manager He, if we want to contact the headquarters, who should we call? Do you have a phone number?"
He Wei was very happy and gave Cao Shujie a call.
"You guys go to Manager Xu, he is specifically in charge of this." He Wei said.
The purchasing manager he introduced was named Xu Jiao. Cao Shujie wrote it down and expressed his gratitude to He Wei.
"Manager He, if you are free tonight, I'll treat you to some food." Cao Shujie said.
"I'll go together, just in time to have a meal." Cao Fei said next to him.
With Cao Fei as his company, He Wei dispelled his doubts and agreed.
In the remaining time, He Wei was not in a hurry to go back. Cao Shujie asked, if his products could really enter Jiajiayue Supermarket, what procedures would he need to prepare?
He Wei told Cao Shujie some common sense.
For example, company qualifications, product certifications, health-related certifications, etc.
He Wei also said that when they negotiate with headquarters purchasing, they will give Cao Shujie a clearer explanation.
At noon, Cao Shujie and Cao Fei went to Cao Zhen's place for dinner. They had business to do in the evening, so they didn't drink at noon.
In the meantime, Cao Zhen and Cao Fei also expressed different views on Cao Shujie's opening of the company.
They think Cao Shujie is really awesome.
To be honest, they knew that there was a huge gap between themselves and Cao Shujie, and it was almost impossible to pursue him.
In the evening, Cao Shujie drove Cao Fei to the hotel where he went first. There was a special person in charge of the supermarket at night. He Wei came over in advance after explaining his work clearly.
It was fine in the evening, so they had a few drinks, and the atmosphere became more harmonious while drinking.
He Wei took the initiative to talk about some things purchased directly from their group headquarters.
According to He Wei, their supermarket headquarters purchases directly, which is relatively clean and free of messy things, which also makes people worry less.
Yes, He Wei used the word clean, which also gave Cao Shujie an intuitive understanding of purchasing in this supermarket.
After dinner, when Cao Shujie handed the wine and cigarettes he brought to He Wei, He Wei refused. It could be seen that He Wei was not pretending.
I thought about finding a driver to take He Wei home first, but He Wei didn't ride a bike and just took a taxi.
After watching the taxi drive out of sight, Cao Fei sent him a message called Cao Shujie and said, "Shujie, let me tell you, you don't need to give gifts. He is quite clean."
"Really?" Cao Shujie felt incredible.
For example, purchasing or store managers in supermarkets in various places hold a lot of key power. This kind of position is the best to gain something.
Cao Fei told him categorically that this was a fact.
"He Wei and I have known each other for two years. We often interact with each other quite a lot, and I know him quite well," Cao Fei said.
"What about you, are you going back to Caojiazhuang or going to their company headquarters?" Cao Fei asked him.
Cao Shujie didn't even think about it: "I'm going to their company headquarters tomorrow. Now that I'm out, I'll hurry up and settle this matter. Otherwise, there will be more and more finished products in the factory, and I'll be very tired by the time."
Cao Fei has never started a business before, so he can't understand how tired Cao Shujie is now, but he knows the pain of holding on to funds.
"Shujie, you have to think carefully. Although Jiajiayue purchases everything together, as far as I know, their settlement cycle only takes one to two months." Cao Fei told him.
Of course Cao Shujie knows this, and he is also prepared to deal with the problem of cash flow after raising funds.
"Anyway, if you have money, I won't say anything more. You can decide on your own." Cao Fei said nothing else.
The two of them went to the parking place together. Cao Shujie called for the driver, and they waited at the parking place for the driver to arrive.
When Cao Fei saw his car, he muttered, "Shujie, I would say you should consider changing to another car."
"What to change?"
"At the end of the day, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi are all fine. Although this thing is a bit vulgar, but when you are doing business, your company is not famous at the beginning, and others don't know what your strength is. People still recognize this." Cao Fei.
Said.
What he said was a fact. Cao Shujie thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until we have time. Then we'll go to the car dealership to have a look."
