The Era of Hard Work

Quannan, Sofitel Hotel, Qian Rui led a group of people into a large box on the top floor, and waited patiently for someone to come over.

The people who came to Lu Village this time were mainly Lu Dong, only Hong Xing was called to be the driver, and Li Wenyue also followed.

Li Wenyue was on vacation and was recruited by the village as a young man. Lu Zhenlin may have intentionally trained him and asked Li Wenyue to come over to carry Lu Dong's bag.

Lu Dong came to explore the way first. If the intention can be reached, the people in the factory will be able to discuss the details.

The Sofitel Hotel has a total of 51 floors. It has just been officially opened this year, with a height of 200 meters. It is currently the tallest building and one of the most luxurious hotels in Quannan.

Standing at the large window on the north side of the private room and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of Quannan Square, Baotu Spring, Pedestrian Street and Daming Lake.

In the Taidong area, business is mostly discussed at the wine table. In order to show sincerity, the party that treats the guests naturally has to find a hotel of sufficient grade.

Qian Rui said to Lv Dong: Don't be too cautious, he is my childhood friend, and he is also from Qingzhao, and he is a fellow.

Having said that, Lu Dong still cheered up, as if he was about to face a battle.

After all, Ren and Qian Rui are Fa Xiaohe and Tie Zi, not him.

A few minutes before the appointed half past eleven, someone called Qian Rui. Qian Rui, Lu Dong and others went out to welcome people in and introduced them one by one.

This is my childhood friend, Zhang Mingyu...

Qian Rui introduced someone, and introduced Lu Dong and others next to each other.

Everyone shook hands with Zhang Mingyu one by one, and divided the guests into seats.

You Qianrui, a veteran in business, ordered dishes to enliven the atmosphere, and the dinner was quite harmonious.

Especially when Qingzhao speaks in local dialect, he can be more or less close.

Qian Rui intentionally brought up the topics on both sides, and deliberately talked about people or things that may be related to the two sides.

Both sides are people from Ningxiu Town, it's too easy to get involved in such a big place.

Zhang Mingyu's cousin married a wife who was from Lujia Village.

For rural relatives in small places, it is too easy to find related ones by looking up.

With a few glasses of wine down their stomachs, they got to know each other better.

Zhang Mingyu himself came from the countryside and has connections with Fa Xiaoqian Rui. His father and mother are still in the village and return to the village every now and then. Naturally, he will not be prejudiced just because Lu Dong and others are from the countryside.

Those like Lu Jiandao who completely cut off contact with the old village after they came out are, after all, a minority among the minority.

Qian Rui quickly brought the topic to the business of Lu Dong and Lu's Village.

I didn't expect that, Lu Dong, you are the boss of Burger King. Zhang Mingyu pushed down his glasses, somewhat surprised: A while ago, I brought my children back to Qingzhao, and even went to eat in the commercial street.

Lu Dong smiled and said, Mr. Zhang will definitely call me if he goes there again.

Zhang Mingyu also laughed: The food is well made, my kids say it's no worse than KFC, and they will be nagging when they go back.

Qian Rui interjected, Ming Yu, despite his young age, Lu Dong is very good at business. This year, he plans to drive Burger King to Quannan.

Really? Zhang Mingyu couldn't help but look at Lu Dong again. He was at most twenty years old. Strictly speaking, he was still a child. When he was his age, he was still studying in school and didn't know anything about business. Most people are either dazzled by a little achievement, or they will do a big job.

But after eating this meal, from his point of view, this person didn't look up at all.

Being able to climb up to the position of vice president of supermarket management in Ginza, Zhang Mingyu has his own vision, and immediately said with a smile: Lv Dong, you can enter the Quannan market, which is also a good story in our Qingzhao business world.

Lu Dong said at the right time: At that time, I have to invite Mr. Zhang to join us.

Qian Rui said: Lu Dong, you must not forget me.

No! Absolutely not! Lu Dong held up his wine glass and respected Qian Rui and Zhang Mingyu at the same time: Both brothers are business seniors, and I will count on them to give us more guidance.

The words were pleasant, Zhang Mingyu toasted him, and said: I don't dare to give advice, Qingzhao said it is from Quannan, but we are not from Quannan. He knew Qian Rui, and anyone who could be respected by him must be capable and capable, besides I have seen Burger King with my own eyes: It is not easy for us to develop in Quannan, we must be united.

Lu Dong agreed: Boss Zhang is right.

Qian Rui added: Mingyu, we all grew up in Ningxiu Town, and you know their Lujia Village, capable people come forth in large numbers.

Zhang Mingyu laughed, of course the head of Lujia Village knew that it was the village with the most stubborn clan power in Ningxiu.

Yes, there is also Lu's stewed and boiled goods, which is quite famous.

The stewed boiled water in Lujia Village used to be eaten every year. The wine bureau was in full swing, and Qian Rui talked about the topic: Now Lujia Village has established a village-run enterprise, Lujia Food Co., Ltd., which specializes in the stewed boiled business, not only cooked food, and also developed packaged snacks.”

Zhang Mingyu heard about these things from Qian Rui when they were talking on the phone, and he also understood why there was such a meal today.

Qian Rui had read the materials prepared by Lujia Village, and since he wanted to help Lu Dong and Lujia Village, he did his best and said, Don't look at the village-run enterprises, they are not small, and their products are very competitive. They have already opened a market in Quannan. The restaurants and canteens of several big companies such as Neng Group and Zhongchuang Group purchase from them. There are also Nanjiao Hotel and Quannan Hotel, which not only purchase cooked food, but also packaged products for specialty sales.”

Zhang Mingyu knew that Qian Rui would not joke about these things, and his first feeling after hearing this was that there was someone behind Lujiacun to support him.

These places are really not just good products, good quality and good taste, you can go in.

Lu Dong didn't speak, and Qian Rui continued to speak these words.

From his mouth, there is suspicion of Wang Po selling melons, but from Qian Rui's mouth, the meaning is quite different.

I have to say that Lao Qian is very interesting.

With Qian Rui acting as the middleman, it can indeed save a lot of trouble.

Lu Dong knew very well that even if they were all from Qingzhao, they were still from the same town. If they found Zhang Mingyu without Qian Rui, they would definitely not be treated like this.

When it comes to Lujia Village's packaged stewed products, Zhang Mingyu simply said, Lu Dong, do you have any samples?

Lu Dong waved his hands, and Li Wenyue handed over the exquisite packaging boxes. Lu Dong each took out a few samples, handed them to Zhang Mingyu, and said, Mr. Zhang, the stewed products in Lujia Village are also traditional.

They are all from the same town, and Lu Dong didn't say those bragging words, anyway, there is on the package: Many children like to eat it, so we turned it into stewed snacks, and opened a store in the university city for a period of time to try and sell them. It's been a month.

He took out a piece of information to Zhang Mingyu: It is very popular among various universities and affiliated primary and secondary schools. The business area is more than 40 square meters, and the sales in two months are nearly 150,000 yuan.

Zhang Mingyu flipped through the data, and then looked at the materials below. There were inspection and quarantine certificates from the Health Bureau, purchase channel certificates, quality system certification similar to Dezhou Braised Chicken, and so on.

Unlike the special snacks made by small rural factories, the products of large factories are more formal.

He picked up the small vacuum bags and looked at them one by one. There were chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken breasts, chicken legs and necks, as well as small pieces of products such as pig ears, mouth strips, pig livers, and tails.

As far as Quannan and Taidong markets are concerned, there are vacuum-packed braised eggs, but I have never seen braised meat products that are made into snacks.

Lu Dong tentatively asked: Mr. Zhang, is there any possibility for us to enter?

With Qian Rui here, Zhang Mingyu did not lie: The procedures are complete, but it meets the rigid regulations for entering the market.

Lu Dong didn't interrupt, and waited for him to continue, because entering the supermarket is not that simple.

I can talk about this. Zhang Mingyu said: Lu Dong, we are fellow villagers. I know Lao Qian, he is reliable, and he is no outsider. I can let you try to enter the market, but how many Please explain clearly in advance, lest our fellow villagers make trouble with fellow villagers.

Lu Dong smiled and said, Boss Zhang, just say it.

Zhang Mingyu's attitude was much better than that of the little section chief in charge of purchasing in Hualian whom the third grandfather had contacted.

You are a small manufacturer and a small brand. In front of Qian Rui, Zhang Mingyu said clearly: The company has clear regulations on the new products of small manufacturers. There is a one-month trial sale period for entering the store. When the minimum standard is reached, the shelf can only be withdrawn.”

He smiled: This aspect is a hard rule, and I can't take the lead in violating it.

Lu Dong knew that small manufacturers had little room to bargain in front of big supermarkets.

Zhang Mingyu added: There are entry fees, barcode fees, entry fees, poster fees, and sales deductions, etc. I can give you the lowest percentage within the specified range, but it can't be free.

Lu Dong answered, Of course, let's follow the rules.

Zhang Mingyu continued: The quality of your products is good and the sales volume is good. It is not a problem to formally sign a contract, and it is not a problem to promote it to every store. In the future, you can follow the Ginza Supermarket.

Thank you! Lu Dong toasted a glass of wine: Thank you Mr. Zhang for your support!

Not to mention anything else, being able to enter Ginza Supermarket is not only conducive to opening up markets other than Sennan, but also to establish the brand as soon as possible.

Lu Dong knew very well that for a small brand like Lu's Juewei, Zhang Mingyu offered him quite generous conditions.

It is impossible to go to the main aisle or head-end shelf as soon as you enter the supermarket, and it is impossible for the supermarket to give you the treatment that only Coca-Cola has.

To enter the market for a trial sale, you must hire an on-site salesperson. In this regard, the village company must figure out its own way.

Lu Dong settled Zhang Mingyu and reached a cooperation intention, and the village company had to do the specific negotiations.

He is just a person with limited time and energy, and it is impossible to do everything.

When the drinking party was about to end, Lu Dong went to the bathroom.

Qian Rui said: Mingyu, didn't you tell me that Ginza wants to enter the youth photo market, especially the university city market, when we had dinner two days ago?

The company has plans in this regard, especially in university towns. There are more than 200,000 college students now, and the market is huge. Zhang Mingyu said directly: However, coordination is required from the site to the relationship with the local government.

Qian Rui said: I can ask Lu Dong for help with some things. He is the leader of the university town. If I can't handle things in the university town, he can help you with a few words.

He would not bully Lu Dong, and emphasized: Illegal things don't count.

Zhang Mingyu said: It is to help coordinate the relationship with the local government, see if we can win favorable policies, help find a site, and avoid some inexplicable exclusion. You know, foreign companies will always face a lot of trouble when they enter a new market. .”

Qian Rui said: You have a good relationship with Lu Dong, I promise, there will be much less trouble in the open and in the dark.

Zhang Mingyu nodded lightly: Okay! Now, I will arrange the products of Lujia Village in the central store of Quannan Square, and give them two sales promotions during the trial sale period.

Qian Rui has worked hard for many years, and he is a veritable old fritter. He is sincere in helping the two friends, and at the same time, he can make both ends remember him well.

National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish everyone a happy holiday!

When people go back to their hometown, they may have to stay for a while.
