Chapter 217 The Boss Calls
Opening a self-operated store requires a lot of investment.
Shop rent and labor for water and electricity are very large expenses.
By joining, you can save these and get the franchise fee.
It also allows the brand to quickly spread to major cities across the country in a short period of time.
But there is a downside to choosing to join.
That is, the brand has very little control over the franchisees.
If the franchisee does something bad for its own benefit, regardless of the interests of the brand, the brand's image will be damaged.
If you open a directly operated store, you can avoid this problem.
Jiangdilao adopts the direct store method.
Directly operated stores can control major stores.
Jiangdi Lao became popular because of its excellent service.
If you adopt the franchise method, it is difficult to guarantee the services provided by those franchise stores.
Once the service is poor, the ultimate impact will be on Jiangdi Lao.
The second is to settle in large supermarkets.
Shopping malls have their own traffic, and it’s a lot of traffic.
Many beauty brands like to cooperate with supermarkets.
The more famous a supermarket, the more popular it is with beauty brands.
Being able to enter a famous supermarket represents the strength of the brand.
Not only does it have an advertising effect, but it can also enhance the brand image.
Yonghui Supermarket is a leader in the retail industry, and there are countless beauty brands that want to cooperate with Yonghui Supermarket.
"Mr. Zhang, just sign up. As I said, I don't care about the management and operation of the company." Xu Yang said.
"Mr. Xu, you also know that our Qianjiao company is currently considered a second-tier beauty brand at best. Although the quality is no problem, I can guarantee this, but the popularity is not enough. Yonghui Supermarket has very strict control over the beauty brands it chooses to enter. Yes, our chances are slim." Zhang Qiuxue said.
"Then why did you make this call..." Xu Yang didn't understand what Zhang Qiuxue meant.
Zhang Qiuxue said that settling in would be good for the company, but now she says that the chances of settling in are slim.
Xu Yang really didn't understand why Zhang Qiuxue told him this.
"Mr. Xu, I know you have a wide network of contacts. Even Wang Xiaocong calls you brother. Yesterday, someone saw you with Mr. Wang and Zhang Yimin. I would like to ask if you know Zhang Songxuan, the boss of Yonghui Supermarket. ?If he knows him, can you ask him to give our Qianjiao Company a chance?" Zhang Qiuxue finally got to the point.
Yesterday, someone took a photo of the scene where Xu Yang and Zhang Yimin, the richest man in the world, were chatting and laughing and posted it online, causing quite a stir.
Many people are curious about who Xu Yang is.
Zhang Qiuxue was watching the news today and saw this news.
If Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were brothers before, Zhang Qiuxue had no idea of seeking help from Xu Yang.
After all, no matter what, Wang Xiaocong is just a junior, and there is a big difference between him and a big boss like the owner of Yonghui Supermarket.
It is unlikely that Xu Yang knows the owner of Yonghui Supermarket.
But after seeing the news about Xu Yang chatting and laughing with Zhang Yimin, the richest man in the world, Zhang Qiuxue felt that it was not impossible that Xu Yang knew the owner of Yonghui Supermarket.
So, she called and asked.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know the owner of Yonghui Supermarket, so I can't help you." Xu Yang said with a bitter smile.
"I don't know you." Zhang Qiuxue was a little disappointed.
She didn't know him, so she was really not sure about getting the qualification to enter Yonghui Supermarket.
"Mr. Zhang, let's do this. I'll ask Wang Xiaocong to see if he knows him. If he does, see if he can communicate with the owner of Yonghui Supermarket and help us. Although I ate with Wang Shoufu and the others yesterday, We are acquaintances, but it is not appropriate to directly ask someone like Wang Shoufu for help."
After all, Qianjiao Company is a company he invested in, holding 20% of the shares. Xu Yang also hopes that Qianjiao Company will develop better and better, so there is no problem for him to lend a helping hand appropriately.
After all, the better Qianjiao's company develops, the higher will be his future returns.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu." Zhang Qiuxue said gratefully.
"There's no need to be so polite. I don't know if I can help. If I can't help, I hope Mr. Zhang will understand."
Xu Yang made arrangements with Zhang Qiuxue in advance so that Zhang Qiuxue wouldn't have too much hope. When the time came that he couldn't help, Zhang Qiuxue would be disappointed. That was not a good thing.
"Mr. Xu, I know, there's no question of understanding or not. I'm very grateful that you can help." Zhang Qiuxue said.
"Okay, I'll get in touch first, and I'll get back to you later regardless of whether the news is good or bad." Xu Yang said.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu." Zhang Qiuxue thanked him again.
After ending the call, Xu Yang thought for a moment and prepared to call Wang Xiaocong.
But before the call was dialed, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hello." Xu Yang answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Zhang Songxuan from Yonghui Supermarket." The caller introduced himself.
Zhang Songxuan!
I was talking about Zhang Songxuan with Zhang Qiuxue just now, and I wanted to call Wang Xiaocong to see if Wang Xiaocong recognized Zhang Songxuan.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Songxuan called him personally.
What is this Zhang Songxuan doing on the phone?
With this thought in his mind, Xu Yang smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I've known you for a long time. I wonder if you called me. What's the matter?"
Zhang Songxuan said: "Mr. Xu, in fact, I am also the owner of Century Garden. I was abroad and did not attend the last owners' gathering held in the community. I heard the property manager talked about you, so I wanted to meet you and get to know you. I want to treat you to a meal, but I wonder if you have time tonight?"
Xu Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang invites guests to dinner, even if he doesn't have time, he still has to make time."
When a big boss like Zhang Songxuan invites him to dinner, he must give him face.
What's more, when it comes to Qianjiao Company, I have to agree.
It's just a good time to communicate with this big boss in person.
Zhang Songxuan smiled: "Mr. Xu, I will send you the time and place of the meeting later."
Xu Yang said: "Okay, I will be there on time."
End the call.
Xu Yang rubbed his chin and couldn't help but laugh.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Songxuan turned out to be the owner of Century Garden.
I didn't even expect that such a big boss would take the initiative to call me and treat me to a meal.
Of course, Xu Yang didn't think that the other party inviting him to dinner was just a matter of getting to know each other.
It is impossible for such a big boss to invite people to dinner just to meet them.
There must be something wrong.
As for what it was, Xu Yang couldn't guess.
It doesn't matter, it's best if you have something to do, and you can use this opportunity to raise the issue of Qianjiao Company's entry into Yonghui Supermarket.
Soon, he received a message from Zhang Songxuan.
It’s the time and place to eat.
The time is half past six in the evening.
The location is a place that Xu Yang is familiar with, a top-notch private restaurant where he and Wang Shoufu and other big guys had dinner yesterday.
It seems that this private restaurant is very popular among the big guys.
I don’t know if it was introduced by Shen Wanpeng.
Xu Yang suddenly had such a strange idea in his mind.
Shaking his head, Xu Yang dismissed these irrelevant thoughts and dialed Zhang Qiuxue's number.
Soon, the call was answered.
"Mr. Xu, how's it going?" Zhang Qiuxue's tone was full of expectation.
