Inside the company, Hao Ren was thinking about the new script when Yi Xueming suddenly hurried in with a look of panic on his face.
"Mr. Hao, something big happened."
Yi Xueming's voice was a little trembling.
Hao Ren was a little angry when he was interrupted from thinking by the other party, but when he saw his expression, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What's going on? Is the sky falling?"
With Yi Xueming's stability, unless the company went bankrupt soon, why would he be so anxious?
However, this is impossible. As the boss, he didn't even know that the company was going to collapse.
"Our products are restricted!"
Yi Xueming spoke quickly and spoke concisely.
"Restricted? What do you mean? Has it been sealed by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?"
Hao Ren was even more confused. Unless Tang Xianming had lost his mind, he would not dare to seal down his supermarket even if he had the courage to do so.
“It’s not the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but Procter & Gamble and United...”
Seeing that Hao Ren didn't seem to react, Yi Xueming took out his phone and there was a notification on it.
"Notice from Procter & Gamble on prohibiting sales of its products to Shinhwa Company"
Procter & Gamble, the giant in daily necessities in the world, issued a notice prohibiting the sale of products to Shinhwa Company in the future. Otherwise, a product will be fined 100,000 yuan.
As for the reasons, they are all written out, because they seriously violate market rules, disrupt market order, and make huge profits from it. At the end, they also call on other companies to boycott.
Hao Ren watched, his eyes gradually widening, and he finally understood why Yi Xueming was so anxious.
"Also United has issued the same announcement."
Yi Xueming flipped his finger, and another notice appeared. The content was similar. It was strictly forbidden for cooperative dealers to sell any products to Hao Ren Supermarket. Otherwise, if one was found, they would be fined 100,000 yuan.
"How is this going?"
A look of anger rose on Hao Ren's face. Although his business was pretty good now, compared with these two giants, it was actually nothing.
Each of these two companies has annual sales of hundreds of billions and profits of tens of billions.
All their products are not stolen or snatched, so how much do they care about how much they sell?
They also issued special notices strictly prohibiting supplying goods to themselves.
Hao Ren felt that there must be something wrong with it.
Yi Xueming also had doubts on his face, "I just got the news and came to report it to you, the boss. However, I think I might ask Li Hang about this matter. After all, he is a first-level dealer in Liuzhou City and should be more familiar with it."
Clearly, if it is true, then he will probably give us a notice soon to end the cooperation..."
Listening to Yi Xueming's analysis, Hao Ren did not hesitate and directly called Li Hang. The call was quickly connected. Hao Ren changed his tone and said with a smile,
"Mr. Li, the company is settling your share in the past two days. I don't know if you are free. I just have something to ask you."
Li Hang's voice seemed a little hoarse, even a little tired, "Okay, wherever it is, I'll be there right away."
Hao Ren named a location and then hung up the phone, "I'm going to inquire about it first. Don't talk about it yet."
Hearing this, Yi Xueming nodded, obviously understanding the seriousness of the matter.
Saying it without confirmation will shake the morale of the military.

Hao Ren looked at Li Hang, whose eyes were bloodshot and his hair was slightly messy, and frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh, brother."
Li Hang cried and laughed and said.
"what's going on?"
Hao Ren asked.
"Actually, even if you don't look for me, I will look for you."
Li Hang said helplessly.
Hao Ren's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad feeling.
"I got a notice two days ago that Procter & Gamble and its joint brands are prohibited from supplying goods to your company. Otherwise, not only will we be disqualified as dealers, but we will also be fined, one hundred thousand yuan per product!"
Li Hang's tone was full of helplessness, "I have approached the person in charge of the Huaxia region before, but the other person said that this was a decision made by the headquarters and he had no right to interfere."
"I almost got into a fight with the China District Headquarters. After struggling for several days, I even called the overseas headquarters. However, I came to the same conclusion..."
Hao Ren listened quietly, his expression unchanged. He believed that the other party would not lie to him. After all, they were in a cooperative relationship. Unless Li Hang lost his mind and left the money for nothing, and severed cooperation with him, it was estimated that after the supply was stopped,
The one who is most heartbroken is not himself, but Li Hang. Compared with before, the current cooperation can generate tens of millions of profits, which is comparable to what he made in half a year.
"Brother, I really have other ideas. There is a notice from above, and I have no choice. Otherwise, if I cancel the cooperation with them, I will lose at least 30% of my business!"
Li Hang's face showed helplessness, anger, and apology. He knew that if the cooperation was suspended this time, Hao Ren would probably have a hard time in the future.
Moreover, this is not just a matter of one or two companies. Many brands responded positively and proposed to ban Hao Ren's company.
He was alone, alone, and had no ability to solve Hao Ren's problem.
"It was peaceful before, but now something like this suddenly happened. If I guessed correctly, someone should be helping behind."
Hao Ren picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said slowly.
"I have considered everything you are thinking and found some information. A friend told me that people like Zeng Hui and Yan Zhou should be involved..."
Li Hang said.
"Sure enough, no one except them would work so hard and even reach out to the overseas headquarters."
Hao Ren was not surprised at all. He only had so many enemies in Liuzhou City.
After not seeing each other for a while, I thought these people had died down or were living in peace. Now it seems that they are preparing to kill me. They didn't succeed last time, but this time they are fully prepared.
However, they are really ruthless in this. At least 30% of the various products in their stores come from these two giant companies, plus some other brands. Basically, in the field of daily necessities, it can be said that the entire army
annihilated.
For his supermarket, this blow is absolutely fatal.
After getting the answer from Li Hang, Hao Ren stopped talking nonsense and said, "The previous share will be credited to your account later. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he stood up and left. After knowing the news, he now needed to go back quickly and come up with some appropriate countermeasures.
Before the news spreads, if you make more preparations, you may not be able to make a comeback.
Returning to the company, Hao Ren immediately summoned all middle and senior management to announce the matter.
"What, prohibiting dealers from supplying goods to us is simply too much!"
"If our supply is cut off, what else can we sell?"
"I don't believe it. As long as we give you enough money, why are we worried that no one will sell us goods?"
"......."
A group of people were angry, shocked, and in disbelief.
Nowadays, they are all tied to the same car as the company. Once the company is destroyed, they will not be much better.
Hao Ren looked at everyone and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"The products of these two companies only account for 30% of our products. Even without their products, we will not collapse."
Listening to Hao Ren's calm voice, everyone felt certain in their hearts.
Yes, based on their company's profit, even if 30% is removed, the annual profit is still hundreds of millions, okay?
"However, I'm afraid this is just the beginning. Once a snowball trend forms and we are boycotted by all brands, that will be the scariest thing."
Hao Ren added another sentence, raising everyone's hearts again.
A supermarket contains too many types of products and cannot come from the same company or the same brand. A boycott of one or two products will not have a great impact, but if all brands jointly boycott, no matter how strong the supermarket is, it will be destroyed.
Everyone was shocked and understood Hao Ren's worries.
"Should we contact those important brands now to strive for cooperative relationships?"
Yi Xueming immediately spoke.
He reacted the fastest, knowing that boycotting him by the two giants was now a foregone conclusion and could not be changed. Perhaps for such a large company, issuing such a notice was just a trivial matter.
"This is a method, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem."
"The fundamental problem?"
Wang Yan was a little curious.
"Products are controlled by people. Even if we pass this hurdle, we will encounter it again in the future."
Hao Ren shook his head.
"There is nothing we can do about it. This is the first time in all my years that I have encountered the problem of direct restrictions on supermarkets."
Yi Xueming smiled bitterly. Supermarket products do not involve state secrets. Who has time to impose restrictions on a certain supermarket?
"You think, how about we make our own products?"
Hao Ren looked at everyone and suddenly came up with an idea.
Everyone else was stunned. Shao Feng asked, "Don't we have our own products?"
“I mean to make a full range of products!”
Hao Ren's words were astonishing.
The others were frightened, and Yi Xueming stuttered a little, "Boss, you, you mean to manufacture the various products we sell?"
They all suspected that they heard it wrong, or that Hao Ren was talking nonsense. A supermarket should make its own products, or all categories. In other words, if you open a supermarket, you will need to open at least dozens or hundreds of factories!
What is this concept? It means that to sell something for one yuan, I need to invest millions, which is more terrifying than the funds required to invest in real estate.
According to their current scale, the production of all categories will require at least hundreds of billions of funds.
This is just the money to open the factory, the later machinery and equipment, labor... the numbers required are astronomical. Apple is so powerful, but they have never opened their own factory.
There are also top domestic shopping malls, which are basically from different brands.
If you open your own factory, a company with a sound mind will basically not do such a thankless job.
Opening a factory is one thing, and the other thing is that you don’t know whether there is a market for the products you produce. Only by selling them can you make a profit. Otherwise, you will lose all your own company’s money.
Especially when the Internet is so developed, doing business is basically like committing suicide.
Therefore, when they heard that Hao Ren had such terrifying thoughts, they were all stunned.
Don't say that they don't have enough funds now. Even if they have sufficient funds, this is still the behavior of a prodigal!
Seeing Yi Xueming's expression of looking at a madman, Hao Ren smiled and said, "Just kidding, why are you so nervous?"
"call"
Everyone was relieved, as long as it wasn't true, they were really afraid that the boss would suddenly make such a decision.
"However, we do not sell all products, but the two major companies have boycotted, and we also need to fill the vacancies in daily necessities in a timely manner."
Hao Ren said calmly.
"There is currently no product on the market that is comparable to these two products. How do you want to replace it?"
After hearing this, everyone started thinking seriously.
"There are many domestic manufacturers of this kind of products. We can do some research and choose some better ones to cooperate with. Although the quality may be inferior, I think the problem shouldn't be big."
Yi Xueming made a suggestion.
As for the automatic enhancement function in supermarkets, I don’t know if it is because of the system, but it is subconsciously ignored by people.
Others also put forward their own suggestions.
Hao Ren nodded in agreement.
After the meeting, Hao Ren came to Shinhwa Factory No. 1 and met Xia Song who was busy working.
Seeing Hao Ren, Xia Song was also a little surprised and quickly invited him to the sofa.
"Lao Xia, I came here this time to ask you to do something. You are in the industrial field, so you should be familiar with this area."
Hao Ren just sat down and said politely.
Xia Song was making tea and was a little curious when he heard this, "What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."
"I want to buy some factories!"
Hao Ren said calmly.
Xia Song was a little surprised when he heard this, "How many factories should I buy? What do you mean?"
Hao Ren simply told the other party what happened today, "This is our current situation. Now this batch of products and inventory are sold out. We are basically wiped out in daily necessities. The quality of other brands cannot meet my requirements, so
I want to do it myself."
Xia Song was a little surprised when he heard Hao Ren's explanation, but when he heard that he was going to open a factory, he smiled bitterly.
"I really didn't expect this to happen. However, boss, I still suggest that you think carefully about opening a factory. This is not building a house. If it is not built well, it will cause a loss of hundreds of thousands at worst. The factory is just a
A bottomless pit requires more funds than you can imagine, and I hear you don't mean to open one factory, but several. A rough estimate is that they all require billions of funds..."
