"Manager Chen, what is the good outcome you said?"
Zhao Shanhe followed and asked.
"Mr. Zhao, since you make chewing gum, you should know about Wrigley, right?" Chen Duo did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Yeah, I know, it's an American chewing gum company." Zhao Shanhe nodded.
"Yes, they specialize in chewing gum, and it's because they are a foreign company that they caused such a big dispute in Yongxing Department Store."
"The final result of the dispute is that your Shanqiu and Wrigley chewing gums will be put on the shelves at the same time. You two will compete. Whichever one sells better will be the one we Yongxing Department Store will ultimately choose to cooperate with."
After Chen Duo said this, he said helplessly: "Mr. Zhao, you also know that the only thing I can do is this, no matter how much I do, I can't help you."
Zhao Shanhe raised his hand and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Chen, for helping us get this opportunity. It's actually pretty good."
"But what should I say, Manager Chen, actually you don't need to be so entangled."
"Oh, Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?" Chen Duo frowned and asked in surprise.
"What I mean is very simple. Getting on the pole is not a business. I don't object to fair competition with Wrigley. But then, what you Yongxing Department Store does seems to make our Shanqiu Food have to rely on your mall to sell goods."
"Mr. Zhao, don't think too much, I..."
"Manager Chen, I didn't think too much about it. It was your Yongxing Department Store who overthought it. Or to be precise, it was your vice president who overthought it."
Zhao Shanhe waved his hand to interrupt Chen Duo and said calmly: "Manager Chen, do you know what I am doing in the capital this time?"
"I don't know, what should I do?" Chen Duo shook his head and asked.
"We went to talk to CCTV about advertising. If nothing goes wrong, CCTV will broadcast our Shanqiu Food chewing gum advertisement in the next two days."
"When the time comes, relying on the platform of CCTV, will there be no market for Shanqiu's chewing gum? Will there be a shortage of orders? Do you still need Yongxing Department Store to be so entangled?"
"At that time, our Shanqiu chewing gum will be sold across the country, but your Yongxing Department Store will not sell it. Manager Chen, if you really want to do that, who will be affected in the end, you or me?"
Zhao Shanhe said confidently.
The moment the words fell to the ground, Chen Duo stood up and asked with astonishment on his face: "Director Zhao, have you won the CCTV advertisement?"
"Yes, during prime time half a year!" Zhao Shanhe nodded.
"Mr. Zhao, you really surprised me. I really didn't expect you to have such courage and think of advertising on CCTV."
"And your trick is so ruthless. You can put the chewing gum ads before Wrigley. You don't even have to think about what kind of gains you will get. Don't worry, I will report this matter to the company leaders again."
Chen Duo said excitedly.
"Brother Chen, you also know that I am telling you this because we have always cooperated happily and I want to help you improve your performance. Otherwise, there is no need for me to waste my words here, right?
?”
Zhao Shanhe took Chen Duo's arm and sat down, and his address directly changed to "Brother Chen", and a cordiality suddenly emerged.
Chen Duo feels honored.
"Brother Zhao, I understand what you are saying. If you had told me about this earlier, why would there be such trouble? It is impossible to say whether there is competition or not. I will definitely place the order directly."
Chen Duo raised his wine glass.
"Let's take this matter. I will try my best to mediate it for you and ensure that I place a large order for Shanqiu Food as I did before."
"Thank you then. I hope we can cooperate and achieve win-win results. Come on, cheers."
"Dry!"
After the reception banquet, Chen Duo was anxious to leave. He was eager to report to his superiors.
This is unexpected news.
In the hotel room.
"Shanhe, you must have said that to Chen Duo on purpose, right?" Li Xiangyang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I just told Chen Duo on purpose. I wanted him to know that it's not that our chewing gum cannot be sold. We have plenty of customers."
"If Yongxing Department Store does this, they will be the only ones who suffer in the end. I want to use his mouth to tell this matter to the senior management of Yongxing Department Store and ask them to reconsider their cooperative relationship with us."
"Besides, even if we don't tell him now, he will know after the commercial is broadcast. But if that is the case, we will have no way to seize the opportunity. After all, I didn't expect that Wrigley would come here at this time."
"Wrigley, this is our chewing gum's biggest rival!"
Zhao Shanhe was sitting on a chair, holding a tea cup and talking thoughtfully.
"Then what do you think Yongxing Department Store will do? Will it place an order with us directly, or will it continue to wait and see, waiting for the clear results of our competition with Wrigley?" Li Xiangyang asked.
"I think they'll wait and see."
Zhao Shanhe squinted his eyes and said slowly: "We have good cooperation precedents with Yongxing Department Store, but those are just Popsicles and Hot Kuai. We are in a separate business for these two products, and no one competes with us for the market."
."
"Chewing gum is different. This Wrigley brand is from the United States and is a foreign company. Yongxing Department Store will have other ideas."
"But don't be afraid. It's normal to have other thoughts. What we have to do is to develop step by step, improve quality, and reduce costs. Once the CCTV commercial is broadcast, I believe there will be results."
"Well, let's just wait."
"Okay, you should go to bed early. You have to go back to Zhenghe tomorrow. After you go back this time, pack up and prepare. You will go to Shenzhen to attend the Canton Fair next week." Zhao Shanhe waved his hand and said.
"good!"
The chewing gum business needs to be developed, and the non-ferrous metal solder cannot be relaxed.
After all, hardware is the industry that Zhao Shanhe focuses on. He wants to pry open the door of the hardware industry with non-ferrous metal solder.
…
After Chen Duo came out of Yanchun Hotel, he went directly to a high-end community, where he met Chen Jinzhang, the vice president of Yongxing Department Store.
This vice president is also Chen Duo's backstage and is a strong supporter for him to become the manager of the purchasing department.
In the chewing gum business, without the support of Chen Jinzhang, it would be impossible for Chen Duo to challenge the other vice president Chen Jinjun.
Of course, you can tell from their names that Chen Jinjun and Chen Jinzhang are related.
Chen Jinzhang is the elder brother and Chen Jinjun is the younger brother. Both of them are the biological sons of Chen Yongxing, the owner of Yongxing Department Store.
Both of them have a group of cronies in Yongxing Department Store. They have been competing overtly and covertly, and both want to become the real leader of the company.
"What's wrong with you coming to see me so late? Didn't you say you had an appointment with Director Zhao for dinner tonight? Why? You finished eating so quickly?"
Chen Jinzhang wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and stood in front of the bookshelf, holding an economics book in his hand. The bookshelf behind him was full of books.
Don't think that these are just decorations. In fact, Chen Jinzhang has read every book here.
As a businessman, he is quite ambitious and hopes to make the company bigger and stronger.
"Mr. Chen, I just finished dinner with Zhao Shanhe. During the meal, he told me some news. I thought it was very important, so I came over quickly to report it to you."
"Oh, what's the news?"
"Zhao Shanhe has signed a contract with CCTV's advertising department and won prime time advertising for half a year!"
"What?"
Chen Jinzhang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
