"No, no, no, Mr. Black! Your budget is too high. If we build the supply chain according to your ideas, we simply cannot achieve ultimate cost control. Especially on the supply side of your burrito business.

There are many categories that are needed on the Internet. Compared with competitors, such as McDonald's simple Coke, French fries, and the 'Big Mac' with fixed ingredients..."

Just when Bass Bank began to inquire about information and explore the current strength of Black Bank, Carter also met in his office the Wal-Mart regional manager recommended by Benjamin, Montgomery Genus.

"So this is where I need your help, isn't it? If I can do it, why should I pay so much salary, even including possible future shares..."

Carter spread his hands and didn't mind the other party's direct accusation that his plan was full of mistakes.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the industry, and in terms of supply chain construction, Carter only knows a rough idea. It is better to listen to the other party's advice on how to do it specifically...

"Mr. Genas, please tell me what you think?"

"Okay! This is what I think. Long-distance cold chain transport vehicles are necessary. But not all vehicles must be used for road transportation! ht's first step strategy is to use sufficient funds and manpower to transport the restaurant

Open to the top 20 most populous cities in the country, right?"

The so-called talking about opinions means that you have to come up with solutions yourself. If you can pass this test, your annual salary of 20,000 US dollars will be stable!

When he thought of the high fixed annual salary, bonuses and bonuses... Montgomery took a deep breath and asked Carter's goals carefully before answering Carter's question.

Carter naturally nodded in affirmation to this question. Then...

"With all due respect, Mr. Black, with the current amount of investment in your budget, it is very uneconomical to only expand it in 20 big cities. First of all, from New York, which ranks first in population, to

Twentieth Paso...these cities span the east and west coasts of the United States, and even the north and south ends."

"From Texas in the south to Wisconsin in the north...the distance between each other is very long. Of course, this is actually not a big problem. On the way here, I took a look at the main raw material needs of our ht company.

..”

It is undoubtedly a taboo in the workplace to deny the boss's proposal from the beginning. But after weighing it in his heart, Montgomery decided to take a gamble. First, he believed that there were indeed many problems in Carter's plan; secondly, if the gamble succeeded, he would

The benefits will be even greater!

"The first is corn. The main producing areas of corn are in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, etc., with a large number concentrated in the central region. The second is meat products. The three main types of meat currently supplied are chicken and beef.

As for wild boar, it is concentrated in the southern region. Specifically, in the south-south-southeast, even free-roaming wild boars seem to prefer the southern air."

"The second is cucumber shreds, pickled cucumber slices, and potato shreds that are used in relatively large quantities. Potatoes are in the north, cucumbers are in the south... Cucumbers imported from Florida or Mexico have been selling very well in Wal-Mart supermarkets before, and customer reviews are also far from good.

Far more than locally grown cucumbers everywhere..."

"So if you want to pursue a certain taste, then cucumbers have to be purchased from the south. As a result, the scope of the supply chain will also be greatly expanded. In particular, there will be a misalignment between supply and demand."

Seeing that Carter never interrupted him, Montgomery became more and more confident as he spoke. When he said this, he stood up directly, walked to the map in Carter's office, and waved to Carter to follow...

“If we only rank by city population, none of the top twenty cities in Georgia or Florida will be on the list, but let’s not talk about the fact that Georgia currently has one or two restaurants. That’s Florida.

, that is an important cucumber producing area

, and may even use pineapples, tomatoes, etc., these fruits and vegetables? Let’s call it that. If these things are grown in places with sufficient sunshine in the south, then the experience it brings to diners will be that of the north.

The production is incomparable.”

"Since you always have to purchase from places like Florida, why not just open the store there at the same time? Mr. Black, please take another look at this..."

Looking at the city population ranking table that Montgomery took out, Carter frowned.

In the American history class at school, he learned that there was a period when a large number of people from the South of the United States moved north. Unlike many New Yorkers who would clamor to "moisten" out of New York and flee to the South, such as Orlando, in the future, now

The south, especially the two states of Georgia and Florida, are actually still undeveloped areas.

In the entire Southeast, the only city that can do anything well is Atlanta. At this time, Atlanta's status in the Southeast is basically the same as that of the bigger one among the short ones.

In the southeast, it defies the crowd. But looking across the country, Atlanta's population is not even as large as Seattle in the northwest...

If you simply look at the ranking of city population, then the locations you can choose for your store location are basically cities in the Northeast Industrial Belt and California's New Industrial Zone. These two extreme diagonal areas go back and forth. It's amazing to add another

Texas, but Texas... don't mention it...

"If it is arranged according to your current plan, you can definitely establish a corn processing center in Yinlinuyinzhou. The corn produced in the origin will be directly made into corn flour, and then processed into uniform-sized corn flour cakes locally, packaged, and sent to

In the northeast and southwest, the general supply can be solved."

"In terms of meat product transportation, cold chain vehicle transportation can be used from Texas to Arizona and Georgia. The longest transportation mileage is controlled within 1,500 kilometers. For cold chain vehicle drivers, it can basically be done in

In three days, it’s relatively easy to run back and forth.”

"For transportation with a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers, I recommend using air transportation. You can sign a long-term agreement with FedEx. Judging from their current charges, the cost is much lower than using your own drivers and driving your own cold chain.

The car spans the entire United States... Even if possible, I recommend using air transportation for distances exceeding 1,000 kilometers. Self-operated logistics and third-party logistics..."

"Wait, please wait a moment. Did you just say, FedEx?"

The calculation of transportation costs cannot be explained in a simple two sentences, and Carter is not in a hurry to know the specific data comparison now. So he has been quietly listening to Montgomery's operational ideas, but when he heard the FedEx

When I asked my name, I had to interrupt...

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

The problem... doesn't seem to be a big one...

"Well, it's not very big. The main thing is that the logistics company I asked someone to register the day before yesterday is named FedEx... Forget it, you can continue talking, I will change the name later..."
