Detective from the future

Chapter 594 An Rong Company
Han Bin asked, "Who was in charge of the personnel work of your company before?"

Manager Cao said, "It's my predecessor, he has left."

"Has the person in charge of your company changed?"

"Not as far as I know."

Han Bin said, "Bring the person in charge of your company over here, I want to talk to him."

Manager Cao hesitated for a moment, he really wanted to share the burden for the boss, but he really didn't know this employee, "Okay, just wait a moment."

Manager Cao got up and left the meeting room.

Han Bin took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Good tea."

Bao Xing smelled it and took a sip, "This seems to be Longjing."

"Yes, the quality of the tea is not bad." Han Bin is reluctant to buy tea at this price, and usually orders it from his father.

Policemen are human beings too. As long as they are human beings, they have feelings. If others respect you, they will naturally reciprocate.

Ten minutes later, the door of the conference room opened, and a man in his 10s came in. He was tall and thin, with a bag in his right hand, and said loudly, "Hey, I'm so sorry, I have something to do. It was delayed and made the three police comrades wait for a long time."

Han Bin got up and said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Shida, and I'm the general manager of Shi'an Food Company. If you have anything to do, just tell me." The man stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Han Bin, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Han, and I'm from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Qindao City."

"So it's Officer Han, please sit down." Shi Da took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Han Bin.

Han Bin politely declined, "We have a rule not to smoke during work."

Shi Da chuckled, and put away the cigarette case, "Then let's talk first, and smoke after the chat is over."

Han Bin cut to the chase, "Mr. Shi, may I ask if there was an employee named Lin Qiuyun in your company before."

"Lin Qiuyun." Shi Da nodded and said with emotion, "I haven't heard this name for a long time. It's been two years."

"You know her well?"

"Is she not familiar with her after seven or eight years? Although she started from a low level, she is capable and self-motivated. From a worker in a workshop to a department manager, I watched it step by step. not easy……"

"Who knows, people suddenly disappeared. Her stall has been working for a while, but no one can take over, and it has been in chaos for a while."

Han Bin asked, "Which department did Lin Qiuyun work in before?"

Shi Da recalled, "The manager of the marketing department, market research, advertising and so on are all in her charge."

Han Bin recorded it and asked, "How is she doing in this position?"

"Excellent. Under her planning and publicity, our company's sales volume is gradually increasing, and the market share is also getting higher and higher. Regardless of her being a woman, she has defeated many marketing departments of the company." Shi Da waved his hand. , with a little pride in his tone.

"What are the main products of your company?"

Shi Da pinched his fingers, counting all the treasures, "ham, sausage, marinated eggs, roast chicken, salted duck, and now we are preparing to add a new variety of roast goose."

"The self-media is very developed now. People in Xiangjiang and Yangcheng post videos, and many of them have special dishes such as roast goose and roast meat. Many netizens want to try it. We mainly sell this product online."

Han Bin didn't know much about this industry, nor was he very interested, and said, "Is there anything unusual about Lin Qiuyun before he died?"

Shi Da frowned, "Hey, how long has it been, I don't remember clearly."

"Think about it carefully, this is very important for our investigation." Han Bin said.

Shi Da seemed to think of something, and said, "Officer Han, I remember Lin Qiuyun's case has been solved, why are you still investigating her case?"

"We have found new clues in this case. The murderer who killed Lin Qiuyun back then probably has accomplices." Han Bin said.

Shi Da frowned, "Hey, this is really scary."

Han Bin said, "After such a long time, it is indeed difficult to re-investigate. Please think about it carefully and provide us with some clues."

Shi Da thought for a while and said, "My contact with Lin Qiuyun is basically in some workplaces, and I am a rough person, so I really haven't observed it carefully."

"How is the relationship between Lin Qiuyun and her husband?" Han Bin asked.

Shi Da waved his hand, "I'm not sure about that. Although they are old colleagues, men and women are different after all, and I'm the boss of the company, so it's not easy for me to inquire about such things."

Han Bin said, "Then has she ever had conflicts with other colleagues at work?"

"I don't know much about small frictions, and no one would tell me about such things. There should be no major conflicts, otherwise, I would definitely know. But..." Shi Da showed a hesitant expression.

Han Bin persuaded, "If there is any situation, you can just say it."

"The competition in the food industry is very fierce. Many companies at the same time as us have closed down. In order for the company to survive, it is normal to fight price wars and publicity wars. Some people have used some improper means." Shi Da sighed, rolled up his sleeves,

"My arm was chopped off. As for phone threats and threatening letters, it used to be a common occurrence. That is to say, the company has been on the right track recently, and those messy things are less."

Han Bin speculated, "Do you suspect that Lin Qiuyun was probably killed by a competitor of your company?"

"No, no, I don't think so. If someone really wants to do something, the first target must be me." Shi Da shook his head and explained, "I only know about her work, and that's all I can think of. As for her I don't know if I have any enemies with other people."

Han Bin said subconsciously, "Does Lin Qiuyun's death have a big impact on your company?"

Shi Da sighed, "The influence is not small. She took over the marketing department and she died. I couldn't find someone to take over for a while, and I was almost caught off guard by other companies."

Bao Xing interjected, "The most important thing for a company should be the core technology. Is marketing so important? Just follow along with Xiao Gui, and then slowly find a suitable successor."

Shida smiled, "Our food business is not a technology company, so we have core technologies. To put it bluntly, everyone's products are similar, and the machines are also produced by those factories, that is, the ingredients are somewhat different. But The taste is pretty much the same.”

"Take ham as an example. The ingredients are the same and the taste is similar. Why are some hams expensive and some cheap?" Shi Da asked himself and answered, "In fact, the main difference is publicity, popularity and sales."

"If the publicity is done well, the popularity will increase, the sales volume will increase, and the money will be made."

"Then it's another round of publicity, creating awareness, increasing sales, and making money."

"It's a virtuous circle over and over again,"

"It's like roast duck. The first thing that comes to mind is Quanjude. Is it delicious? In fact, it's the same thing, but it can't stand the fame of the people. It's ten times more expensive and people still eat it."

"When mentioning grilled chicken, many people will think of Dezhou grilled chicken. In fact, it is different from Quanjude. It is not an independent brand, but the name of a traditional Shandong cuisine. Go and see how many grilled chickens are sold. The ones bear the Texas brand."

"Why? It's so famous, the common people are willing to pay for it when they hear about it."

"Generally speaking, the marketing department is indeed very important. If other companies make some malicious hype, the marketing department has to make correct public relations measures in the first place. If you have problems with the countermeasures, the company's brand name may be smashed. "

"Many people envy me and think I'm pretty, but only I know what's wrong with me. The food industry is highly competitive. In order to improve production and technology, you have to buy new machines and raise wages for workers. It's all money."

"Once the company's business is not good and there is no profit for a period of time, the capital chain is likely to be broken. Bankrupt, I am nothing."

Han Bin ignored the other party's complaints, automatically filtered out valuable clues, and said, "During Lin Qiuyun's death, which company did you compete with fiercely?"

Shi Da stroked his chin and thought about it, then smiled, "It's all over, what's the point of talking about it."

Han Bin said seriously, "It may not be meaningful to you, but it is very important to Lin Qiuyun."

Shi Da sighed, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, but that company has gone bankrupt."

"Even if the company goes bankrupt, the suspicion of committing the crime cannot be ruled out," Han Bin said.

"You're right, I'm narrow-minded." Shi Da recalled for a moment, and said, "I remember it should be Anrong Food Company, which competes most fiercely with our company."

"There are so many food companies, why do your two companies compete the most?"

Shida explained, "There are many reasons. First of all, the names are similar, and they all have the word 'An'. In my opinion, this is suspected of brand touching porcelain. Choosing a similar name will make people closer to the two companies virtually. the distance."

"Just like selling gold and diamond rings, the name is either Zhou or Sheng, giving people the illusion that the brand is of similar grade."

"This Anrong company is the same. It is not as good as our company in terms of output and popularity. I think he just wants to take advantage of our company's popularity and squeeze our company's market."

Bao Xing thought it was a little funny, "Just because there is a word 'an' in the name? You don't like each other?"

"Of course not. We are businessmen, not children's playhouse." Shi Da continued, "The products of this Anrong Food Company are similar to ours. We sell ham, and he also sells ham. We sell sausages. He also sells sausages. Roast chicken and so on, he has everything we have.”

"There are only so many potential customers, and it is easy to form malicious competition. If you lower the price, I will also lower the price. Do you want to make a profit?"

"Another one is the most important. This Anrong Food Company is also in Qindao, not far from our company. Not to mention that the sales channels and customers overlap with our company, even the purchase channels are the same."

"Once, we obviously ordered the goods first, but their company shipped them first."

"Of course, this is not the most irritating thing. The most irritating thing is that the competition between the two companies has become a seller's market. The prices of raw materials have also increased, and profits have been further compressed. You say it is irritating or not."

Han Bin concluded, "In other words, there is competition between your company and An Rong Food Company in all aspects."

"That's right, there is no other way. If profits are reduced, neither company will be able to make money. We can only fight first, price wars, publicity wars, psychological warfare, and talent-poaching warfare. In short, if one company defeats the other, it will You can get more resources and markets." When Shi Da said this, he showed a proud look,

"Our company has gone through a lot, and even reached the brink of bankruptcy, but we survived after all."

Shi Da's words made Han Bin aware of the fierce competition in the food industry.

People make money and birds die for food. No one can guarantee whether they will jump the wall in a hurry when their own interests are threatened and the company is facing bankruptcy.

"Who is the person in charge of Anrong Company, do you remember?" Han Bin asked.

"I remember, I will never forget him for the rest of my life. His name is Yang Jian'an. He is not tall, with big eyes and a fierce face. We used to meet often at exhibitions." Shi Da said.

"Do you have his contact information?"

"No."

"Do you know where he is?"

Shi Da smiled, "I heard that this old boy has gone to Southeast Asia."

Han Bin frowned and said, "Travel?"

Shi Da shook his head, "Run away."

"Several years ago, I remember this old man said a very classic sentence. The company earned money to go to North America for the elderly, and the company went bankrupt and went to Southeast Asia to be cool. He had already thought of a way out. However, his creditors were trapped. gone."

Han Bin took note of Anrong Company and Yang Jian'an. Although the other party had already run away, what should be investigated should still be investigated.

Han Bin went on to the next question, "Who did Lin Qiuyun have a better relationship with when he was in the company."

Shi Da replied, "I don't know about it either, I haven't paid much attention to it."

Han Bin asked a few more questions, but he didn't find any valuable clues. He left Shi'an Food Company after leaving Shi Da a business card.

Before leaving, Shi Da also took some products of the company to give to the three of Han Bin, but Han Bin politely declined.

He won't make trouble for himself for a little profit.

After arriving in the car, Han Bin took out his mobile phone and checked Anrong Food Company. There were some posts about this company on the Internet, but there were not many.

Han Bin still got some valuable clues. First, the founder of the company was indeed called Yang Jianan. Second, the company really went bankrupt.

"Jingle Bell……"

At this moment, Han Bin's cell phone rang, and Han Bin took out his cell phone to see that it was Ma Jingbo calling.

Han Bin pressed the answer button, "Hello, Cavalry."

"Where are you?"

"I just made a record at the An Food Company, and now I'm rushing to the city bureau, what's the matter?"

"Zhu Jiaxu has found clues about the motorcycle. I am in trouble now. You can bring someone to support him."

This is a very crucial piece of evidence. The motorcycle is likely to be the murderer's means of transportation. If you find the motorcycle, you may follow the clues and catch the suspect...
