1987: Sleepless Tonight

"How much...how much flat?" Lin Jiacai stammered a little, and looked at Lu Hao in a daze.

He thought he had heard it wrong.

"Originally there are 2000 square meters, but I have renovated 500 square meters before, and I don't need to redecorate for the time being. The other 1500 square meters have to be renovated, the lines are aging, re-wiring, the cement floor has to be replaced with tiles, and there are lights, incandescent All the lights have to be replaced with fluorescent lamps." Lu Hao said, "The walls around 4 weeks have to be shoveled, many of them have been affected by damp, and they need to be repainted, cement and sand are also needed, and wood is also needed."

Many things are needed.

Lin Jiacai was silent for a long time, smacked his mouth, looked at Lu Hao with a complicated expression, "Boss Lu, you are really a big boss, I thought your store was 2000 to [-] square meters, how did you expect there to be [-] square meters?" square."

He was a little embarrassed.

Such a large area requires a lot of various building materials.

What I said just now was too big. He could still give Lu Hao a personal price for tens of square meters of building materials based on his relationship, and sell them to Lu Hao at the cost price. But now that the area is so large, even if Lu Hao has renovated 500 square meters, the remaining 1500 square meters will be covered. It is not small, and the amount of various materials required is very large.

He doesn't have that much face to pay such a big favor.

At the same time of embarrassment, he looked at Lu Haogao quite a bit, and even had some admiration.

He is older than Lu Hao, and has worked in the supply and marketing system for many years. Although he is only a clerk in the business department, he has connections and a wide range of knowledge. Although he admired Lu Hao before, he has not risen to the level of respect. , but now he really admires Lu Hao.

Such a young man, in his twenties, can own a shop of 2000 square meters.

He picked up the wine glass, and took the initiative to clink glasses with Lu Hao, "Come on, Boss Lu, you praised Haikou just now, and thought that your shop area is only 1500 to [-] square meters. It's a joke. I can't give you the cost price of building materials for a shop with an area of ​​[-] square meters. If I can’t do this, it’s my fault, and I’ll punish myself.”

He directly drank the wine in the glass, and then poured another glass.

The drink is a penalty.

"Boss Lin is getting serious. I don't think you want to punish yourself, but because you are greedy for this Moutai bar." Lu Hao laughed.

In fact, Lu Hao was like a bright mirror in his heart. Lin Jiacai's self-punishment was not because he said he sold him building materials at cost price, but because he heard that he had a 2000-square-meter shop, so he punished himself with a glass of self-punishment.

Do not see through.

He directly said that he was gluttonous and gave a step.

Sure enough, Lin Jiacai laughed when he heard what Lu Hao said, and continued, "Although we can't sell building materials to Boss Lu at cost price, we can still get a lot of discounts."

"There are many industries involved in the supply and marketing system, not only local products, means of production, recycling of waste materials, but also fruit, daily miscellaneous goods, daily miscellaneous goods, that is, daily miscellaneous goods. Most of the sales here are straw bags, sacks, Woven bags, wooden handles, shovels, bamboo beds, mosquito coils, mats, hats, fans, these things are stored all year round and sold seasonally. In the first two years, the daily miscellaneous company opened up new markets, such as civil building materials, furniture, cooking machinery , ceramics, electrical appliances, and African wood are all in business.”

The market is open, the competition is fierce, and the monopoly position of the supply and marketing system is challenged. We have to work hard to survive and develop in other business directions.

"There are 50 major categories, nearly 2000 varieties, and more than 16,000 designs and specifications. We also develop a wide range of businesses, with more than 2000 business units."

The supply and marketing cooperative is a bridge connecting the countryside and the city.

Products from rural areas are sold to cities through supply and marketing cooperatives, or local products are sold to other places through supply and marketing cooperatives. Some items in the city can also be sold to rural areas through supply and marketing cooperatives.

For commercial grain supply, the big business formed by these three systems has monopolized commercial activities. When the market was not opened, there were almost no competitors, and the business was very good.

Shang refers to the commercial system, grain refers to the food system, and supply refers to the supply and marketing cooperative system.

These three companies are divided and combined, but the accounts are independent. Now the supply and marketing cooperative is separated from the Municipal Second Commercial Bureau and is under the management of the municipal government. It caused quite a shock.

The supply and marketing cooperatives are also undergoing reforms, such as daily miscellaneous goods. Originally, local products and daily miscellaneous goods belonged to one company. Later, in order to carry out more accurate positioning, daily miscellaneous products were separated from local products, and a daily miscellaneous goods company was established separately. It is constantly expanding, from sacks, shovels, bamboo beds, etc., to home appliances, building materials, and ceramic tiles.

But even with continuous innovation, the competition is still fierce. In the face of the entire market, the supply and marketing system is like a flat boat in a big wave, constantly shaking and struggling.

You need supplies, and you need outlets.

The front needs it, and the back needs it too. The demand is very strong.

Lin Jiacai looked at Lu Hao, "What kind of business are you going to do with such a big store?"

"Department store." Lu Hao said without hesitation.

"To be a department store? Then you have to have a source of goods. Do you have any relationship with this?" Lin Jiacai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Hao.

The supply and marketing cooperatives do retail business. Hongyuan Beverage Factory's soft drinks and some other items are put in the store for retail, but at the same time they also do wholesale business, such as fruits, building materials, local products, and so on.

If Lu Hao wants to be a department store, he can eat a lot of products.

He looked at Lu Hao and almost said: buy from me, buy from me.

"I know some people, but I haven't started talking yet." Lu Hao took out a few business cards from his pocket and gave them to Lin Jiacai.

These business cards were given to him by those who went with him to bid for the stalls in the vegetable market. He kept them and brought them here today.

If you have strengths, show them off!

The woman asks if you have talked, you have to say that you have talked, but you have never been to a hotel, you just hold hands, clean yourself and look very popular at the same time.

Even if it's a pile of shit, if there are more people who want it, it can be sold for the price of gold!

Flipping through a few business cards, Lin Jiacai was obviously more nervous than before, and said to Lu Hao, "I have never heard of these companies. It should be relatively small in size and cannot satisfy you. If you are a department store, the quality of the products is very important." , The factories that the supply and marketing cooperative cooperates with are all selected, and the wholesale variety is very complete, it will be more convenient for you to get the goods from us, and we can also give you a discount."

He looked at Lu Hao, waiting for Lu Hao's answer.

Lu Hao wants to sell soft drinks through the supply and marketing system, and he knows that Lu Hao has a store of [-] square meters, and he still wants to be a department store, so he also wants to expand his business there.

The postures of the two were reversed. First, Lu Hao begged Lin Jiacai, but now Lin Jiacai also wanted Lu Hao.

"Boss Lin, from now on Hongyuan soda will be sold in the supply and marketing system, and you can get a profit of 1 point." After showing his strength, Lu Hao gave the benefits again, and finally made the previous request again, "But the supply and marketing cooperative must have more. Order some Hongyuan soda."
