Chapter 786 The Market Is Changing

After a night of hangover, when Tao Tao woke up the next day, it was already noon. The dazzling sunlight kept him awake, and his mental fatigue made him not want to move at all.

It wasn't until the big brother bell rang that Tao Tao reluctantly turned over.

"Hey, who is it?"

Qin Hao's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you awake? When you wake up, get up and clean up my house before leaving."

Tao Tao protested loudly: "Ah Hao, do you have any sympathy? I'm so sad, and you still ask me to clean up for you, and you want to drive me away."

"If I didn't have sympathy, I would have let you sleep on the street last night. What a big deal. I have tormented myself like this just for a woman like that. Quickly pack up and go get Fangmei back. Fangmei said, you are today If you don't want to go, I'll meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Qin Hao said angrily.

"Civil Affairs Bureau? Fangmei really wants to divorce me?"

"Now you know you're afraid, so you shouldn't hurry up."

"Ah Hao, why don't you go with me."

"It's a beautiful thought. You will bear the consequences of your own sins. I don't have time to accompany you. I won't talk about it anymore. I still have a meeting. You can figure it out on your own."

As soon as Qin Hao hung up the phone, the front desk reminded: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Xu and the others have arrived in the conference room."

"Well, I understand."

In the conference room, in addition to the senior management team of Vientiane Plaza, there were also representatives of various large suppliers. Qin Hao's appearance caused the originally lively conference room to fall into a brief silence, and then became lively again.

"Mr. Qin."

"Mr. Qin, long time no see. Let's have a drink together sometime."

Qin Hao made a gesture to everyone to sit down: "It's better to catch the sun than to miss it. Since you are so complimentary, we will get together after the meeting and I will have a few drinks with you."

After the greetings, Qin Hao said seriously: "You must have heard that the foundation of Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza has been built and it is expected to open in the second half of next year. I invite you to come today because I want to talk to you about Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza. Investment matters."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the manufacturer representatives present were gleaming.

"Mr. Qin, I won't say anything unnecessary. In short, as long as it is your business, I will definitely support it fully."

"That's right, as long as you say a word, our Panda TV will sponsor 20 color TV sets when it opens."

"Our Zhongshan watch sponsors a hundred watches!"

The reason why these manufacturer representatives are so generous is also very simple. The success of Shanghai Vientiane Plaza has proved the superiority of this sales model. If the same model is copied to Shenzhen, I can't say how successful it will be. At least the lower limit can be guaranteed.

And more importantly, although Shanghai has the title of Paris of the East, Shenzhen is the bridgehead of reform and opening up, close to Hong Kong, and also the fashion vane of the south. Once their products succeed in Shanghai, they will succeed in the Shenzhen market. Then it can really be called a national famous brand.

However, Qin Hao's next words plunged the originally lively conference room into a dead silence.

"A few days ago, the company held a high-level management meeting. It seemed that it was going to change the investment rules. Mr. Xu, all the manufacturer representatives happened to be here. Please take out what was discussed at the meeting and we will also listen to everyone's opinions. If there is any Whatever is unreasonable should be corrected in time.”

The manufacturer representatives present actually accounted for only a very small part, not even one-tenth. However, these are large manufacturers. As long as they agree, it doesn't matter whether other manufacturers agree or not. If you don't agree, some of them will. People want to shop with you.

The shop will bully the customers, and the customers will bully the shop. It all depends on who can suppress whom.

Mr. Xu cleared his throat: "Everyone, at the meeting a few days ago, we summarized some of the issues that customers have complained about over the past year."

"One of the most prominent problems is that the after-sales service of products is not guaranteed, ranging from clothes and daily necessities to household appliances such as color TVs and refrigerators. In particular, the household appliance category has the most after-sales complaints and the most intense customer reactions."

"It's not easy for ordinary people to save money and save money to buy a household appliance. Many families need to spend half a year or even a year's savings. After buying it with joy, they find that they can't use it and have to carry it back. We have to send it back to the manufacturer. It often takes a month or two to go back and forth, and sometimes it takes even half a year to complete the repair.”

Before Mr. Xu could finish his words, a representative from a daily necessities mall complained.

"Mr. Xu, there are many problems with these household appliances. You can just go to them. There is no need to take us all with you, right?"

As soon as he said this, many manufacturer representatives echoed his words.

"That is to say, their problems have nothing to do with us."

The representatives of the home appliance manufacturers also complained when they saw this.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Xu, this appliance is different from other products. It is filled with electrical components. Problems may occur if there are bumps during transportation. This has nothing to do with our quality."

This is really not a deliberate push-over. In the 1990s, the infrastructure maniacs had not yet begun to exert their efforts. The first expressway was opened only two years ago. Most provincial and national roads can only be described as miserable, let alone counties and cities. It's a first-class road, and the damage to household appliances caused by bumps in the middle is higher than during the production process.

Qin Hao remained silent and just nodded lightly to Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu suddenly felt confident, knocked on the table and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, listen to what I have to say first."

"No matter what the reason is for these problems, they are problems we should solve. Customers are innocent. We can't let them spend money and have to bear the consequences, right? It doesn't make sense."

There was another discussion among the manufacturer representatives.

"But, wasn't it always like this before? And as long as it's a renovation of Vientiane Plaza, we will deal with it immediately."

"Yeah, isn't that enough?"

Mr. Xu knocked on the table and said loudly: "Not enough!"

"For customers, waiting even one more day will affect their shopping mood, which is something we should avoid."

"So, after our meeting, we decided to introduce a new policy: guaranteed returns, guaranteed replacements, and guaranteed repairs."

As soon as these words came out, the conference room exploded.

"Mr. Xu, are you kidding?"

"Mr. Xu, if we really do what you do, we won't be able to do it."

"Yes, how much additional cost will this cost?"

Others were whispering.

"Is this guy named Xu trying to get some help from us?"

"Yes, this is too outrageous. Do you agree? Anyway, I won't agree."

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he had been observing the reactions of the manufacturer representatives in the conference room. In fact, this three-guarantee plan was not the conclusion reached by their meeting at all, but was done by Qin Hao. The reason why it was proposed through Mr. Xu was to provide The two sides leave room for relaxation and negotiation. If the boss is dismissed directly, it will be difficult to maneuver after the negotiation breaks down.

“This three-guarantee plan was unanimously approved by our management team, and we hope you can cooperate with us.”

The manufacturer representatives were all very shrewd and naturally understood that such a plan would definitely not be passed without Qin Hao's nod, so they all found the right owner.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think about this matter?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, we simply cannot afford this increased cost. If we do this, we will have no choice but to raise the price."

"Yes, you can do this, the price will increase by 10%"

Seeing that the manufacturer representatives were filled with indignation, Qin Hao smiled and comforted them.

"Don't worry, everyone. The reason why Mr. Xu launched this plan is actually not only for the convenience of Vientiane Plaza, but also for everyone."

“I wonder if you have ever thought about why foreign products are many times more expensive than your products for the same product, and why demand exceeds supply?”

For a moment, the manufacturer representatives stopped saying anything. Although it sounded embarrassing, it was the fact.

Qin Hao paused, and then said seriously: "It is true that our domestic brands are now technologically backward, and many of their production lines are purchased from foreign countries and eliminated, but have you ever thought about it? Many of our products are obviously no worse than foreign products, but they are still Not recognized by consumers?”

"Because we don't pay attention to brand value. We always feel that as long as we sell the product and make money, everything will be fine."

"I don't know if you have noticed that there are more and more products on the market now, and both types and quantities are far from what they could be compared to a few years ago."

"I believe that in a few years, the situation of shortage of supply and demand will completely change. It will transform from a seller's market to a buyer's market. There will be more people and less food. What will you use to compete with others?"

Some manufacturer representatives were thoughtful, some looked indifferent, and some, although they didn't say anything on the surface, showed disdain in their eyes, thinking that Qin Hao was being alarmist.

Qin Hao stopped talking nonsense to them: "In the future, let alone you, even Vientiane Plaza will have to compete with other large shopping malls."

"If we want to retain customers and solve their worries, there is no time to delay."

"Mr. Qin, would you like to think about it again?"

"Yeah, this is too sudden. We have to discuss it with the factory, right?"

Of course Qin Hao knew that this matter would not be accomplished overnight, so he nodded.

"The contract you signed with Vientiane Plaza is for two years. It has been a year and a half now. I respect your choice whether you want to renew your contract or not."

This is a naked threat. If you don't agree, then we'll break up. Anyway, the reputation of Vientiane Square has already been established. If you don't obey, don't blame me for kicking you off the boat.

Manufacturer representatives also dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Who allows them to take the initiative now? What's more, Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza is about to open. If you don't renew the contract, there is a high probability that they will not sign with you. After all, there are already rumors that Mr. Xu will be transferred to Shenzhen, and you can't fool him even if you want to.

After the meeting, the manufacturer representatives held up their phones and left with grimaces. The corridor was filled with the sound of "hey, hey, hey," and the sound of leather shoes scraping the ground.

Qin Hao left Mr. Xu behind, and they were the only two left in the entire conference room.

"If you let the wind out, just say that the contract at Vientiane Plaza is about to expire, some manufacturers have given up on renewing the contract, and we need to find a group of capable manufacturers as soon as possible to prepare for the emergency."

Mr. Xu tapped his fingers on the conference table: "But what if they sign the contract obediently?"

"There are also Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza and Hema Supermarket. They can be used after all."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

So, soon, rumors began to spread that some manufacturer representatives had offended Qin Hao and were deprived of the qualification to renew their contracts. They would be kicked out of Vientiane Plaza when their two-year contracts expired.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the manufacturers that had missed out on cooperating with Vientiane Plaza were like sharks smelling blood, and they all gathered around.

Mr. Xu's mobile phone runs out of battery every day, and the threshold of the investment promotion department of Vientiane Plaza is trampled.

Huanghe Road is also very lively, with many representatives of foreign manufacturers coming to try their luck and see if they can enter Vientiane Plaza.

That day, Qin Hao suddenly received a call from Fangmei. At first, he thought that Taotao still couldn't forget Jin Fenghuang, and he was so angry that he almost cursed. Only after listening to Fangmei did he know what was going on.

Although Taotao stopped supplying Jin Fenghuang after seeing the true face of Jin Fenghuang, the boss ladies such as Lu Meilin felt that Taotao did not cooperate with their actions from the beginning, so they refused to buy from Taotao.

For several days in a row, Taotao didn't even sell a pound of lobster.

"Several days? Why didn't Taotao tell me earlier?"

"It's just to save face." Fangmei pouted.

Qin Hao couldn't help shaking his head: "Okay, give the phone to Tao Tao."

"Why don't you talk?"

Tao Tao's voice was a little hoarse: "Ahao, I just realized today that I am a waste."

"I used to think I was very capable and could make so much money. In fact, it was you and Abao who supported me behind the scenes, and those boss ladies gave me some face."

Well, he will reflect on himself, and he can still be saved.

"Okay, it's awkward to say these things between brothers. Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up now and go to Huanghe Road together. I want to see who dares not to give you face!"

There was a burst of crying on the phone, and soon there was no sound. After a while, Fang Mei's voice came: "Brother Hao, I'll let Tao Tao go directly to your place."

"Okay, I'll wait for him."

Not long after, Tao Tao appeared in Qin Hao's office. The boy looked a little depressed, with red eyes. The moment he saw Qin Hao, he almost cried again.

"Come on, stop being a bitch. It's not a big deal. Just be more careful next time."

Huanghe Road is still busy with traffic. The once full-house Golden Phoenix is ​​now in an awkward situation. It's not that there are no customers, but that when the customers come, they have nothing to serve. More than half of the special dishes on the menu cannot be made without ingredients.

Customers ordered one dish but it was not available, and they got up and left in anger. Those with worse tempers even cursed at the waiter.

Golden Phoenix was so anxious that she jumped up and down. Tao Tao's sudden coldness caught her off guard. If the restaurant continued like this, it would definitely fail.

What made Golden Phoenix even more angry was that Manager Pan said that Lu Meilin brought a group of people and said they were coming to Golden Phoenix for dinner. It was clear that they came to mess up the place.
