Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment when his name was called, and said: "How else can the market respond? Of course, we must ensure the supply of supplies!"
Lin Madao: "Be specific."
Zhao Liang raised his fingers and said: "We plan to supply five pigs per day, and at least five hundred chickens and ducks per day.
There are also eels, turtles, turtles, and river shrimps. These are river delicacies that Jiangcheng people love to eat. I also asked the buyer to say hello to the folks in Simei Town early.
Let them catch and raise these fresh river fish, and we will buy them in large quantities during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Vegetables are in large supply and there will be no price increase. However, prices of fresh seafood, pigs, poultry and eggs are planned to increase slightly because it is the festival after all.”
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay."
In her previous life, during holidays, almost all fresh food in supermarkets increased in price.
Not to mention that during the holidays in previous lives, the prices of fresh food in supermarkets would increase. In the black market of this era, prices of chicken, duck, fish and meat dishes would also increase during holidays. There is no need to worry about consumer resistance.
Even if there is, it won't be too strong.
Lin Mai suggested: “In addition to keeping up with the supply of fresh food, we also need to buy some high-quality rice, flour, grains and oils to sell.
Most of the people eat planned grain and oil.
The oil is vegetable oil, and the rice and noodles are the kind of old rice noodles that are a little black.
It’s a big festival, and citizens will definitely want to eat the new rice and noodles produced by farmers this year.
You also want to eat some peanut oil and sesame oil, so we will satisfy them.
Don’t raise the prices of these grains, oils, rice and noodles, and let the people eat some delicious rice and noodles during the holiday.”
Zhao Liang nodded.
Lin Mai asked him again if the seafood products were adequately prepared.
Zhao Liang said: "The purchaser who was sent out called back and said that he bought a lot of kelp, seaweed and other seafood and dried seafood, which is enough to cope with these two festivals.
However, I have to transport the goods back several times because I am afraid that the road will be uneven and affect the supply."
Lin Mai suddenly thought of Director Kong Lingxiang, who was in charge of consignment at Guangzhou Passenger Terminal.
She told Zhao Liang Kong Lingxiang's contact information and asked him to notify the buyers along the coast to contact Kong Lingxiang directly to have the seafood and dried seafood shipped back by train, which was fast and safe.
Chen Feng looked at her lazily and said dissatisfied: "You have such a good network, and you only show it now.
Do you know how risky it was when we went to the coast to import goods and come back?"
Lin Mai felt very guilty: "I never thought of using a train to transport it."
Zhao Liang asked: "Can seafood such as hairtail and shrimp that need to be frozen be shipped?"
Lin Mai shook his head: "I don't know this. Ask the buyer to ask Director Kong."
After discussing the festival supply issues at Fuduoduo Market, Lin Mai asked the two snack bars how to cope with the festival economy.
The competition in the catering industry in this era is not fierce at all, because there are not many self-employed people who are bold enough to open snack bars.
In addition, supplies are not abundant. Even if you have the courage to be a self-employed catering business, you will not be able to open a restaurant if you cannot get supplies.
Therefore, you don’t need to do any promotional activities during holidays. You just need to prepare enough ingredients to cope with the huge customer flow.
Both Zheng Xudong and Wang Xiaoli planned to arrange for employees to work overtime and not only pay overtime pay, but also pay bonuses.
This is what Lin Mai did before.
The last speaker was Ren Baozhu.
While others were speaking, she was thinking about how to do promotions during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The suggestion is that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you buy Unico clothing, you will receive a box of mooncakes as a gift.
Lin Mai nodded: "This promotion plan is okay, but the quality of the mooncakes must be guaranteed.
It is better than the mooncakes sold in stores to highlight the high quality of Unico's clothing. Even the gift mooncakes are better than those sold in stores.
Otherwise, it will lower the grade of Unico clothing and make consumers feel disgusted."
Ren Baozhu said hello and said: "The promotion plan for the National Day will be drawn up after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Lin Mai nodded and asked: "How is the kindergarten recruitment going? How many children have been recruited?"
"More than a hundred parents came with their children to sign up in the morning, but the quota was not full. They continued to sign up in the afternoon until the quota was full."
Lin Mai asked: "How many children of our factory employees have entered kindergarten?"
"Not many, a dozen or so. After all, we only have more than a hundred employees."
Lin Mai was a little surprised.
She also expected that not many of her employees would be of the right age to attend kindergarten, so she would have to mainly recruit children from outside.
She thought the kindergarten enrollment would not be full.
Because people in this era are generally poor, they may not be able to afford even a few dollars a month for tuition. I didn’t expect the market to be so big.
But no matter how big the market is, she has no intention of eating this cake.
She opened Xiaohonghua Kindergarten mainly for her own employees.
In the future, the scale of the factory will become larger and larger, and there will be more and more employees.
Employees’ unattended children can be sent to Xiaohonghua Kindergarten to solve their worries and allow them to work with peace of mind.
Lin Mai asked Ren Baozhu: "Are the major shopping malls no longer causing trouble for us?"
As soon as this topic was brought up, Ren Baozhu became very angry:
"Alas! Forget it, after you went to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary yesterday, all the shopping malls were honest.
Not only do they not dare to chase us away anymore, our store is still where it was before, and it no longer makes things difficult for us.
But I was only honest for half a day.
Just before 12 noon, all the shopping malls adjusted the location of our stores and placed us in a more remote location.
Jiangcheng Shopping Mall was the most outrageous, just throwing us in the corner.
Because I couldn’t find the person in charge during my lunch break, I planned to negotiate after the meeting.”
Tao Zhiyun frowned and said, "Could it be that Director Hu from the National Development and Reform Commission was criticized by the Provincial Party Committee Secretary and resented us, so he sang this song again?"
Lin Mai pondered and said, "It's possible."
Hou Xinyi said: "Then Mr. Lin will go to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary to report this matter again, so that the man named Hu can't live without food!"
Lin Mai waved his hand: "Everything is just speculation on our part. It is unsubstantiated and unsubstantiated. It is not easy to report it to the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.
If the shopping mall insists that it is their own work arrangement, wouldn't we give the provincial party secretary a bad impression and give him a bad impression?
It’s best not to disturb the provincial party secretary until the critical moment, as he is very busy at work every day.”
Tao Zhiyun frowned and said, "Then how to solve this problem? If the location of the store is not good, it will affect sales."
Lin Mai pondered for a moment and said: "Increase shopping guides and hold signs at the entrance of the shopping mall.
The sign states that anyone who wants to buy Unique clothing must follow the shopping guide and be taken directly to our store.”
Ren Baozhu hesitated and said, "What if they don't want to follow?"
Lin Mai thought of the 100,000 handkerchiefs he had imported from the customs. So far, he had only used one or two thousand.
"Then add another one on the brand. Anyone who patronizes a Unico store, whether buying something or not, will receive a free handkerchief imported from abroad."
Just go to Unico's store and you can get a handkerchief imported from abroad. Who wouldn't want to!
Ren Baozhu nodded: "This should be able to attract a lot of traffic."
Lin Mai turned to Zheng Xudong and said: "When you are looking for a branch for Bao Haochi, you also buy more storefronts to open a Unico chain store.
Lest the mall does anything to us again.
We have our own chain stores, so we are not afraid of major shopping malls joining forces to catch us off guard."
In this era, the selling price of storefronts was not high, so Lin Maicai suggested that Zheng Xudong buy the storefronts.
Zheng Xudong nodded and asked: "Approximately how many storefronts are needed?"
Lin Mai thought for a moment and said, "You can do whatever you want. Buy as many as you can, at least six."
Although I have to buy six stores in one go, this does not include delicious branches.
But buying all these stores for only around 100,000 yuan was not a problem for her.
She is now a company CEO with a net worth of several million.
Ren Baozhu suggested: "Director Lin, can we buy a store on Hanzheng Street to be the wholesale store of Unique? We don't need to ask others to be our agents."
Lin Mai nodded: "Your suggestion is good, but I'm afraid no one is willing to sell the Hanzheng Street facade."
She turned to Zheng Xudong and said, "See if you can buy a storefront on Hanzheng Street. If you get the best one, and if you can't buy it, I will cooperate with Boss Gao in the future."
Zheng Xudong nodded.
Lin Mai looked at Hou Xinyi.
Throughout the entire meeting, he did not say a word, only listened to what others said, like a transparent person.
But he accidentally discovered that Chen Feng was staring at him fiercely.
She calmed down, deliberately ignored him, and said to Hou Xinyi: "Don't think that you will be fine just by managing production.
Find two security guards and prepare a separate office for Vice President Chen.
Manager Zheng shares an office with Manager Wang and Manager Zhao.”
After all the things that needed to be discussed were discussed, Lin Mai stood up and said: "The meeting is dismissed."
Everyone got up one after another and prepared to leave.
Tao Zhiyun said hurriedly: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone stopped and looked at her.
Lin Mai asked: "Do you have anything to say?"
Tao Zhiyun pointed at Ren Baozhu: "Deputy Factory Director Ren forgot to report to you that there is a Hong Kong-owned clothing company called Ximan that plagiarizes our clothing."
Ren Baozhu smiled apologetically: "I was only focused on how to negotiate with the managers of major shopping malls later and forgot about this matter."
She said to Lin Mai: "Director Tao and I both suspect that it is Ximan, a Hong Kong-owned clothing company, and Director Hu who are working behind the scenes to squeeze us out."
Lin Mai nodded: "I'll go to Jiangcheng Shopping Mall later to have a look."
Ren Baozhu saw Lin Mai's face looking a little heavy and said, "You don't have to worry too much.
The price of Ximan clothing is much more expensive than ours. We have a price advantage and Ximan cannot squeeze us out."
Convinced that no one would speak anymore, Lin Mai dismissed the meeting again.
Chen Feng stood up slowly: "Maizi, didn't you promise to treat me to a teacher-appreciation banquet?
Today is the last day of August and you haven't invited me yet.
Did you secretly hold a teacher appreciation banquet without inviting me?"
Lin Mai rolled his eyes at him: "Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I'm so busy these days, how can I have time to hold a teacher appreciation banquet?
I will definitely do it this Sunday and I will definitely inform you. Remember to pack a huge red envelope."
Chen Feng smiled and whispered in her ear as he passed by her:
"She is smart and capable, and she is becoming more and more like a strong woman. Your professor will suffer from it in the future." After that, he walked away.
Hearing this, Zheng Xudong and others expressed their intention to attend Lin Mai's appreciation banquet.
Lin Mai smiled and said, "Okay, everyone is ready with big red envelopes."
After that, she left the conference room, went to Tao Zhiyun's office, picked up the clothes and schoolbags she made for her mother and daughter, and prepared to leave.
Ren Baozhu caught up with her from behind: "I forgot to report during the meeting just now that our Lily Headwear products are in short supply and we need to recruit people."
Lin Mai previously judged based on his past life experience that headwear in this era was very cheap.
I thought the market for expensive headwear like hers was not big, so I didn’t dare to hire too many people.
Unexpectedly, because of being on TV and tying up with Unico to shoot posters, it actually increased its popularity and sales continued to grow.
Lin Mai thought for a while and said: "I have the list of the last time we hired disabled workers.
In addition to the employees who have been recruited, the list of unsuccessful employees above specifically notes the backup employees.
I will give you the list, and you can hire people directly according to the backup list, saving time and effort."
Ren Baozhu said hello.
Lin Mai went back to his office to get the list of the last recruitment of disabled workers, handed it to Ren Baozhu and drove towards Jiangcheng Mall on his bicycle.
When she passed by Xiaohonghua Kindergarten, she saw a woman holding a three- or four-year-old girl crying and complaining to the principal through the wide open door.
Lin Mai hesitated for a moment, rode his bicycle to the group of them, got down, and asked the director: "What's going on?"
