Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 345 Who is this Xu Shi Catering?

It turns out that there is no shortage of people with good vision in the world.

When Xu An was invited to appear in the conference room of the office building of Shengli Supermarket, there were four people sitting in the conference room. When Xu An sat down and waited for the meeting to start, three more people walked into the conference room one after another and sat down.

Including Xu An, the number of participants has reached eight!

Think about it, Victory Supermarket is selling urgently. If you make an appointment alone, even if you only need one hour of communication time, you will have to spend a whole day repeating the same conversation. If you make an appointment together, it is indeed It saves time and effort.

What's more important is that bringing people who are interested in buying together can arouse their feelings of uneasiness, make them defensive and attack each other, and even drive up the price!

The meeting hadn't even started yet, but Xu An had already felt slight, regular vibrations coming from the table. Somewhere he couldn't see, someone was shaking their feet uncontrollably. Judging from the amplitude of the vibrations he felt, , there was more than one person shaking his feet.

The moment the footsteps reached everyone's ears from outside the door of the conference room, the closed door was pushed open, and two men in suits and leather shoes entered the conference room one after another. The younger of the two sat directly at the conference table. On the main seat at the front.

I thought there would be a lengthy opening statement, but I didn't expect that after the young man took the main seat, he picked up the microphone and got straight to the point.

"Thank you all for coming to attend the transfer meeting of the 101-108 Qianjin Road plot held by Shengli Supermarket. I believe everyone knows the details of this plot from the real estate agency, so I won't go into details. Next, I will say Point out what needs to be emphasized.”

These words made many people have a look of displeasure in their eyes. This person is a bit too arrogant!
The young man did not give them time to think. After taking a breath, he continued talking on his own. The dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts disappeared in an instant, and their attention was focused on the man's words.

"The plot covers an area of ​​850 square meters. It is the only large plot of land with an area of ​​more than 680 square meters on Qianjin Road. The surrounding transportation is convenient. Based on market pricing and other factors, the starting price of the plot is [-] million. "

Those who can come to the meeting are either the boss of the company or the main person in charge. Naturally, you can hear the subtext in the young man's words - the one with the highest price gets it!

"One more thing." Before anyone could speak, the young man put the microphone to his mouth again and said: "We only accept cash payments, 680 million, and no loans can be made for a penny. Only when the remittance reaches the account can a formal contract be signed. .”

As soon as these words came out, Xu An noticed that the expressions of two of the participants were stiff for a moment, and he immediately knew that these two people were out.

After excluding the two people, Xu An's eyes moved around the remaining five people. Every time his eyes fell on one person, the relevant information would pop up in his mind.

Man in plaid suit, head of Renwang Trading Co., Ltd. in Hai Duong Province, purchased land to build a department store. Man in black tie, owner of Xinghui mass-market KTV, purchased land to build a high-end private club. Woman in dark red shirt, beauty salon Dean
While Xu An was observing others, Xu An was also being observed by others.

However, their eyes did not stay too much on Xu An. They quickly moved away in as little as one second or as long as three seconds. Obviously, they did not regard Xu's Catering as a strong competitor.

Cough——cough cough————

After a moment of silence, one of them seemed to have weighed the pros and cons. He reached out and pressed the turn-on button of the microphone in front of his seat. He coughed twice and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

A staff member walked in, walked directly to the young man, and whispered, and the thin and dense sounds were transmitted to everyone's ears, but these sounds became indistinct after the distortion and diffusion of the air. Pure babble.

As soon as the staff member finished speaking the last word and closed his mouth, the young man picked up the microphone and said hurriedly:
"It is now 680:[-] in the morning. From now until four o'clock in the afternoon, whoever comes to me first with [-] million in cash will win this land.
If no one comes before five o'clock this afternoon, this land will no longer be for sale and the meeting will end here. Thank you everyone for participating! "

After saying this, the young man stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room. The man who was about to speak seemed to be anxious, lowered the microphone and asked directly:

"Mr. Li, 680 million is a large-amount withdrawal, and you need to make an appointment at least one day in advance. Even if we make an appointment with the bank immediately, we will have to get the money tomorrow morning at the earliest. Isn't it a bit unreasonable to limit the transaction time to today?"

"Well, it's indeed a bit unreasonable." The young man stopped after hearing this, nodded in agreement, looked sideways at the crowd, a sneer suddenly appeared on his calm face, and said loudly: "But, follow me What does it matter? Isn’t this something you need to consider?”

The end of these extremely shameful words was still lingering in the conference room, and the young man strode out of the conference room, leaving everyone behind who looked at each other.

How could Qiansheng Group let such an arrogant and rude person take the position of general manager of Shengli Supermarket?

What is different from the others is that the confusion of the other seven is genuine, while Xu An's confusion is fake.

Yesterday, after the communication and investigation matters were assigned to Lu Shengnan, Lu Shengnan made full use of his network of former insiders of Shengli Supermarket and Qiansheng Group to investigate everything that the current person in charge of Shengli Supermarket had done since he took office.

Things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, such as cutting off profitable business projects, drastic layoffs, canceling a large number of cooperation, ending supply contracts with suppliers, etc., have become lines of text, organized into a document, and presented In front of Xu An's desk.

Through the analysis of these materials, Xu An and Lu Shengnan quickly came to the same conclusion. The current person in charge of Shengli Supermarket is neither a person who expands territory nor a person who maintains profits and success. He is the foolish and unscrupulous person. People who have subjugated their country!

As an insider, Lu Shengnan naturally knew that this person had quite good abilities. All the above must have happened for a reason, but these reasons were not the key. The key was that they had guessed the direction of the subsequent events.

Including this scene that appeared at the meeting, the two people were also speculating on it, and they made countermeasures to this speculation.

Amidst the repeated complaints from everyone in the conference room, Xu An took out his cell phone and sent an extremely brief message to Lu Shengnan.

【Plan C】

"Boss Xu," someone suddenly called Xu Anlai, who was silent, and said, "Is this the first time you have seen this scene? I have been in the industry for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant person. It is simply incredible. "reason"

"Yes, this is indeed the first time I have encountered this kind of thing."

Xu An agreed smoothly after hearing the words, and then followed everyone out of the conference room and the Shengli Supermarket building. He said goodbye to everyone, opened the car door and sat in the back seat. The vehicle started slowly and soon disappeared among the crowd. in sight.

"Young people have never seen this kind of scene before, they are frightened."

"Yes, but Xu's Catering originally had a low chance of winning. If we can get a loan, we can try. It's nearly 700 million in cash. It's too difficult."

"What's going on with Mr. Li from Victory Supermarket? He said it would take three weeks before, but now it's within today."

"Who knows, I don't have much hope anyway."

"."

Everyone was saying dejected words, but their bodies were honest and they quickly returned to their cars and sped away in the direction of the company.

Although Xu An left in the car, he did not go far. After detouring two streets, the vehicle stopped at a coffee shop only 100 meters away from Shengli Supermarket. Xu An walked into the coffee shop and sat down. Then I ordered two cups of coffee and waited quietly.

Five minutes after the coffee appeared on the table, a figure opened the glass door of the coffee shop and sat opposite Xu An. While exchanging pleasantries, he put the cowhide bag in his hand on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xu An. .

"Boss Xu, here are two new savings cards opened by Mr. Lu in the name of the company. The card with the last number 0708 has a deposit of 240 million, and the card with the last number 6756 has a deposit of 780 million."

Yes, yesterday afternoon, the two of them made four different responses based on the information, and called the bank to make an appointment for large withdrawals. One was paid to Zhang Dezhen for 240 million to purchase the braised food formula; the other was It is the funds used to purchase the 101-018 plot held by Shengli Supermarket, 780 million!
After receiving the two fresh and hot cards, Xu An appeared at the front desk of the Shengli Supermarket office building the next second.

"Hello, I am Xu An, the owner of Xu's Catering who just came to attend the meeting. Please help me make an appointment with Mr. Li and tell him that I am ready to sign the contract and deliver immediately."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Boss Xu. I will relay the above news to you."

Five hours later, four figures walked out of the Haishi Real Estate Bureau. The two people walking at the front held a thick kraft paper document bag in their hands.After walking more than ten meters, the two parties said goodbye. After two of them stood there and watched the other two leave, the man behind the young man couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Li, is there really no problem if we just transfer the plot of land like this?" The man said uneasily: "Although the plot of land is recorded in the name of our supermarket, according to the prescribed procedures, we should apply for it first. Qiansheng Group will transfer it after obtaining the consent of Qiansheng Group.”

"What does it matter?" The young man suddenly showed an extremely satisfied and warm smile: "Isn't this our mission? Presumably, the sale of the land must be what they are looking forward to~"

"Ahahahahahaha, right?"

This man was not comforted by the young man's words at all, and the uneasiness still grew and spread rapidly in his heart.
------

"Is Mr. Li not back yet? Did he say what he was going to do before he left? How long will it take for him to come back? I've been waiting for almost an hour?"

"Sir, please wait a moment. We have just contacted Mr. Li. He is on his way back and is expected to arrive at the company in 10 minutes."

"After 10 minutes, okay, okay, Mr. Li didn't explain what he was going to do?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, Mr. Li's whereabouts are not within my scope of responsibilities, so I can't answer your question."

"Alright alright."

He anxiously walked around in circles. After circling No. 80 once, he saw a black car parked outside the office building gate. The door opened, and a shiny leather shoe appeared in his sight. , and the one who appeared in front of him immediately was Mr. Li, whom he had been waiting for for a long time!
Finally waiting for Mr. Li!

The man stepped forward quickly. Before he could speak, Mr. Li spoke first: "You are a step late. The land transfer procedures have just been completed."

"The transfer is completed!" The man's pupils dilated slightly and he asked dubiously: "Excuse me, which company moved so quickly?"

"Which company?" Mr. Li lowered his eyes at the man and replied cheerfully: "Xu's Catering prepared all the materials and funds half an hour after the meeting and went to sign the contract. All transfers were completed 10 minutes ago. formalities."

After that, Mr. Li walked straight into the office building of Shengli Supermarket and disappeared from the man's sight.

Xu's Catering?Xu's Catering!How could it be Xu's Catering!This is nearly 700 million in funds!It took me a long time to scrape together everything after I returned home. How could Xu's Catering prepare it in just half an hour?

"Hurry up, hurry up, I didn't expect you, Boss He, to be one step ahead."

While the man was thinking, another car stopped at the door of the Shengli Supermarket office building. The man wearing a pure black tie stepped out of the car and asked: "Boss He, have you completed the land transfer procedures? "

"Ah ha ha!" Boss He looked at the man in black tie and smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly and said: "I'm late too, Xu's Catering was the first to arrive."

Afterwards, Boss He completely repeated what Mr. Li just said, and added his own guess: "Do you think this is not quite right?"

"Xu's Catering?" The man in black tie pondered for a moment, then murmured to himself: "If it's Xu's Catering, then that's right, we've all been fooled!"

"Did you get tricked?"

"Yes." The man in black tie nodded heavily and explained:
"A few days ago, there was a rumor circulating in Zhuzhou City that Xu's Catering was a puppet launched by Fengshou Farm. The land of Shengli Supermarket was in the hands of Xu's Catering, which was a matter of left hand and right hand.
We are all foils!From the moment this piece of land was released, the name of Xu's Catering was written on it. Otherwise, how could such a company established less than half a year ago come up with 700 million in half an hour?"

------

"Manager Luo, our contract expires in two days. Last time you said you wanted to ask the senior management for instructions."

"Ah, I have been so busy with work recently that I forgot about this," Manager Luo said apologetically, "Sorry, the company has unanimously decided not to renew the contract for the time being. I will contact you if necessary in the future!"

"Hey, Manager Luo, wait a minute!" The person in charge of Jiangyuan City of Good Taste Catering called out to Manager Luo and asked hurriedly: "Can I ask why your company decided not to renew the contract? ?”

"Ah, this." Manager Luo hesitated for a moment and said vaguely, "I'm not sure about this either."

I don’t know, so it’s not canceling employee meals, but changing suppliers!

The person in charge of Jiangyuan City of Haozhiwei Catering asked again and again. With many years of cooperation, he finally learned the name of the changed supplier from Manager Luo - Xu's Catering!
After hanging up the phone, the person in charge wrote the words "Xu's Catering" after the company name and dialed the number of the second company on the list.

"The contract is about to expire. What are your concerns?"

"Ah, I don't have any worries. I'm just tired of working with you after working with them for a long time. I'm thinking of switching to another company to try something new, Xu's Catering."

After writing the words 'Xu's Catering' again, the number of the third company on the list was dialed.

"Excuse me."

"Yes, they have changed to a new catering company. They hired professional nutritionists to prepare meals that are more nutritious and healthy. That company is Xu's Catering."

The person in charge took up a pen and wrote two short words - Same as above.

"."

".Xu's Catering."

I called the nine companies on the list one by one and received various reasons for not renewing the contract. However, the new group meal companies chosen by these nine companies were surprisingly consistent, all of which were 'Xu's Catering'!
After completing the report and copying the form to the superior, the person in charge of Jiangyuan City of Haoziwei Restaurant clicked on the group chat of the person in charge of Haiyang Province. When he was about to complain, he found that the members in the group were already talking about it.

[Seven of my old customers have canceled or renewed their contracts upon expiration]

[Then I am a little worse than you, canceling eleven (bombs)]

[I have four here]

【.】

The person in charge of Jiangyuan City of Good Taste Catering looked at the discussion and couldn't help but edit a sentence and send it to the group.

[Do you know which catering company those customers cooperated with after they canceled the cooperation? 】

After this sentence was uttered, the group was quiet for five seconds. Then, whether it was the person in charge of the Dongqing City Branch, the person in charge of the Huijiang City Branch, or the person in charge of the Meiqing City Branch, they all spoke in unison The ground uttered the same four words - Xu's Catering!
The heads of branch offices in various places sitting in front of the computer looked at the four words "Xu's Catering" that kept refreshing on the screen, solemn expressions appeared on their faces at the same time, and their bodies slowly left the backrest and straightened up.

It turns out that not only my own city, but also other cities have been snatched up orders by this catering company that suddenly appeared!
Based on statistics from the people speaking in the group, more than forty orders have been taken away!

How did Xu's Catering unknowingly and quietly open branches in so many cities without attracting everyone's attention? Their existence was not noticed until orders were taken away!
You know, among the orders taken away are many old customers who have cooperated with us for four or five years!

Who is Xu's Catering?
