After a night of hangover, when Tao Tao woke up the next day, it was already noon. The dazzling sunlight made it impossible for him to sleep, and his mental fatigue made him not want to move at all.
It wasn't until the Big Brother bell rang that Tao Tao reluctantly turned over.
"Hey, who is it?"
Qin Hao's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you awake? When you wake up, get up and clean up my house before leaving."
Tao Tao protested loudly: "Ah Hao, do you have any sympathy? I'm so sad, and you still ask me to clean the house for you, and you want to drive me away."
"If I didn't have sympathy, I would have let you sleep on the street last night. What a big deal. Just for a woman like that, you have tormented yourself like this. Quickly pack up and go get Fangmei back. Fangmei said, you are today
If you don't want to go, I'll meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Qin Hao said angrily.
"Civil Affairs Bureau? Fangmei really wants to divorce me?"
"Now you know you're afraid, so you shouldn't hurry up."
"Ah Hao, why don't you go with me?"
"It's a good idea. You will bear the consequences of your own sins. I don't have time to accompany you. I won't talk about it anymore. I still have a meeting. You can figure it out yourself."
As soon as Qin Hao hung up the phone, the front desk came to remind him: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Xu and the others have arrived in the conference room."
"Well, I understand."
In the conference room, in addition to the senior management team of Vientiane Plaza, there were also representatives of various large suppliers. Qin Hao's appearance caused the originally lively conference room to fall into a brief silence, and then became lively again.
"Mr. Qin."
"Mr. Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have a drink together sometime."
Qin Hao made a gesture to everyone to sit down: "It's better to catch the sun than to miss it. Since you are so complimentary, let's get together after the meeting and I will have a few drinks with you."
After the greetings, Qin Hao immediately said seriously: "You must have heard that the foundation of Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza has been built and is expected to open in the second half of next year. I invite you here today because I want to talk to you about Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza.
It’s a matter of attracting investment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the manufacturer representatives present were gleaming with golden eyes.
"Mr. Qin, I won't say anything unnecessary. In short, as long as it is your business, I will definitely support it fully."
"That's right, as long as you say a word, our Panda TV will sponsor 20 color TV sets when it opens."
“Our Zhongshan watch sponsors 100 watches!”
The reason why these manufacturer representatives are so generous is also very simple. The success of Shanghai Vientiane Plaza has proved the superiority of this sales model. If the same model is copied to Shenzhen, I can't say how successful it will be. At least the lower limit can be guaranteed.
And more importantly, although Shanghai has the title of Paris of the East, Shenzhen, as the bridgehead of reform and opening up, is close to Hong Kong and is also the fashion vane of the South. Once their products succeed in Shanghai, they will succeed in the Shenzhen market.
Then it can really be called a national famous brand.
However, Qin Hao's next words plunged the originally lively conference room into a dead silence.
"A few days ago, the company held a high-level management meeting. It seemed that it was going to change the investment rules. Mr. Xu, all the manufacturer representatives happened to be here. Please take out what was discussed at the meeting and we will also listen to everyone's opinions. If there is any
Whatever is unreasonable should be corrected in time."
The manufacturer representatives present actually accounted for only a very small part, not even one-tenth. However, these are large manufacturers. As long as they agree, it doesn't matter whether other manufacturers agree or not. If you don't agree, some of them will.
People want to shop with you.
The shop will bully the customers, and the customers will bully the shop. It depends on who can suppress whom.
Mr. Xu cleared his throat: "Everyone, this is it. At the meeting a few days ago, we summarized some of the issues that customers have complained about over the past year."
"One of the most prominent problems is that the after-sales service of products is not guaranteed, ranging from clothes and daily necessities to household appliances such as color TVs and refrigerators. In particular, the household appliance category has the most after-sales complaints and the most intense customer reactions."
"It's not easy for ordinary people to save money and save money to buy a household appliance. Many families need to spend half a year or even a year's savings. After buying it happily, they find that they can't use it and have to carry it back. We have to send it back to the manufacturer.
It often takes a month or two to go back and forth to repair, and sometimes it takes even half a year to complete the repair."
Before Mr. Xu could finish his words, a representative from a daily necessities mall complained.
"Mr. Xu, there are many problems with household appliances. You can just go to them. There is no need to take us with you, right?"
As soon as he said this, many manufacturer representatives echoed his words.
"That is to say, their problems have nothing to do with us."
When the representatives of the home appliance manufacturers saw this, they also complained.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Xu, this appliance is different from other products. It is filled with electrical components. Problems may occur if there are bumps during transportation. This has nothing to do with our quality."
This is really not a deliberate push-over. In the 1990s, the infrastructure mania had not yet begun to exert its efforts. The first expressway was opened just two years ago. Most provincial roads and national roads can only be described as miserable, let alone counties and cities.
It is a first-class road, and the damage to household appliances caused by bumps along the way is higher than during the production process.
Qin Hao remained silent and just nodded lightly to Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu suddenly felt confident, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say first."
"No matter what the reason is for these problems, they are problems we should solve. Customers are innocent. We can't let them spend money and have to bear the consequences, right? It doesn't make sense."
There was another discussion among the manufacturer representatives.
"But, wasn't it always like this before? And as long as it's a repair of Wanxian Plaza, we will deal with it immediately."
"Yeah, isn't that enough?"
Mr. Xu knocked on the table and said loudly: "Not enough!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "For customers, even waiting for one more day will affect their shopping mood, which is something we should avoid."
"So, after our meeting, we decided to introduce a new policy: guaranteed returns, guaranteed replacements, and guaranteed repairs."
As soon as these words came out, the meeting room exploded.
"Mr. Xu, are you kidding?"
"Mr. Xu, if we really do what you do, we won't be able to do it."
"Yes, how much additional cost will this cost?"
Others were whispering.
"Is this guy named Xu trying to get some favors from us?"
"Yes, this is too outrageous. Do you agree? Anyway, I won't agree."
After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he had been observing the reactions of the manufacturer representatives in the conference room. In fact, this three-guarantee plan was not the conclusion reached by their meeting at all, but was done by Qin Hao. The reason why it was proposed through Mr. Xu was to provide
The two sides leave room for relaxation and negotiation. If the boss is dismissed directly, it will be difficult to maneuver after the negotiation breaks down.
"This three-guarantee plan was unanimously approved by our management team, and we hope you can cooperate with us."
The manufacturer representatives were all very shrewd, and naturally understood that such a plan would definitely not be passed without Qin Hao's nod, so they all found the right owner.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think about this matter?"
"Yes, Mr. Qin, we simply cannot afford this increased cost. If we really do this, then we will have no choice but to raise the price."
"Yes, you can do this, the price will increase by 10%"
Seeing that the manufacturer representatives were filled with indignation, Qin Hao smiled and comforted them.
"Don't worry, everyone. The reason why Mr. Xu launched this plan is actually not only for the convenience of Vientiane Plaza, but also for everyone."
"I wonder if you have ever thought about why, for the same product, foreign products are many times more expensive than your products, and why demand exceeds supply?"
For a while, the manufacturer representatives stopped saying anything. Although it sounds embarrassing, it is the fact.
Qin Hao paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "It is true that our domestic brands are now technologically backward, and many of their production lines are purchased from foreign countries and eliminated. But have you ever thought about it, many of our products are obviously no worse than foreign products, but they are still
Can’t get recognition from consumers?”
"Because we don't pay attention to brand value. We always feel that as long as we sell the product and make money, everything will be fine."
"I don't know if you have noticed that there are more and more products on the market now, and both types and quantities are far from what they could be compared to a few years ago."
"I believe that in a few years, the situation of insufficient supply and demand will completely change, and the seller's market will transform into a buyer's market. There will be more people and less food. What will you use to compete with others?"
Some manufacturer representatives were thoughtful, some looked indifferent, and some, although they didn't say anything on the surface, showed disdain in their eyes, thinking that Qin Hao was being alarmist.
Qin Hao stopped talking nonsense to them: "In the future, let alone you, even Vientiane Plaza will have to compete with other large shopping malls."
"If we want to retain customers and solve their worries, there is no time to delay."
"Mr. Qin, would you like to think about it again?"
"Yes, this is too sudden. We have to discuss it with the factory, right?"
Of course Qin Hao knew that this matter would not be accomplished overnight, so he nodded.
"The contract you signed with Vientiane Plaza is for two years. It has been a year and a half now. I respect your choice whether you want to renew your contract or not."
This is a naked threat. If you don't agree, then we will break up. Anyway, the reputation of Vientiane Square has already been established. If you don't obey, don't blame me for kicking you off the boat.
Manufacturer representatives dare not speak out. Who is letting them take the initiative now? What’s more, Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza is about to open. If you don’t renew the contract, there is a high probability that they will not sign it with you. After all, there are already rumors that Mr. Xu
I'm about to be transferred to Shenzhen, and I can't fool him even if I try.
After the meeting, the manufacturer representatives held up their phones and left with grimaces. The corridor was filled with the sound of "hey, hey, hey," and the sound of leather shoes scraping the ground.
Qin Hao left Mr. Xu behind, and they were the only two left in the entire conference room.
"If you let the wind out, just say that the contract at Vientiane Plaza is about to expire, some manufacturers have given up on renewing the contract, and we need to find a group of capable manufacturers as soon as possible to prepare for the emergency."
Mr. Xu tapped his fingers on the conference table: "But what if they sign the contract obediently?"
"There are also Shenzhen Vientiane Plaza and Hema Supermarket. They can be used after all."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
So, soon, rumors began to spread that some manufacturer representatives had offended Qin Hao and were deprived of the qualification to renew their contracts. They would be kicked out of Vientiane Plaza when their two-year contracts expired.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the manufacturers that had missed out on cooperating with Vientiane Plaza were like sharks smelling blood, and they all gathered around.
Mr. Xu’s eldest brother would be beaten every day until he ran out of electricity, and the threshold of the Vientiane Plaza Investment Promotion Department was breached.
Huanghe Road is also very lively, with many representatives of foreign manufacturers coming here to try their luck and see if they can enter Vientiane Plaza.
On this day, Qin Hao suddenly received a call from Fang Mei. At first, he thought it was because Tao Tao still couldn't forget Golden Phoenix. He was so angry that he almost cursed. Only after listening to Fang Mei's words did he realize what was going on.
Although Tao Tao stopped supplying Jin Fenghuang after seeing the true face of Jin Fenghuang, the proprietresses like Lu Meilin felt that Tao Tao did not cooperate with their actions from the beginning, so they refused to purchase goods from Tao Tao.
For several days in a row, Tao Tao didn't even sell a pound of lobster.
"How many days has it been? Why didn't Taotao tell me earlier?"
"It's all about saving face." Fangmei curled her lips.
Qin Hao couldn't help but shake his head: "Okay, give Tao Tao the phone."
"Why don't you talk?"
Tao Tao's voice was a little hoarse: "Ah Hao, I didn't realize until today that I am a waste."
"Thankfully, I used to think that I was very capable and could earn so much money. In fact, it was you and Abao who supported me behind the scenes, and those boss ladies gave me some face..."
Yes, I can think about it, and I can be saved.
"Okay, these are the things that brothers say to each other. Where are you? I will come to pick you up now and we will go to Huanghe Road together. I want to see who dares not to give you face!"
There was a burst of crying on the phone, and soon the sound disappeared again. After a while, Fang Mei's voice came: "Brother Hao, I'll ask Tao Tao to go directly to your place."
"Okay, I'll wait for him."
Not long after, Tao Tao appeared in Qin Hao's office. The boy looked a little depressed and his eyes were red. The moment he saw Qin Hao, he almost cried again.
"Okay, don't act like a bitch. It's no big deal, just be more careful in the future."
........
Huanghe Road is still busy with traffic, and Golden Phoenix, which was once full of guests, is now in an embarrassing situation. It's not that there are no guests, but the guests are coming, and they have nothing to entertain them. Most of the special dishes in the menu cannot be cooked without ingredients.
When the customer ordered a dish and still didn't get a dish, he got up and left in anger, and the worse-tempered one even yelled at the waiter.
Jin Fenghuang was so anxious that she was caught off guard by Tao Tao's sudden cold shoulder. The hotel would definitely be ruined if it continued like this.
What made Jin Fenghuang even more angry was that Manager Pan said that Lu Meilin brought a group of people who said they were coming to Jin Fenghuang for dinner, and they were obviously here to cause trouble.
