The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiaofang called Zhang Chen and said that she went to the Target supermarket in New York and found that the door was still open, but there were very few products inside. I asked their staff and they said that there were many products that could not be replenished. Yes, I feel there is a problem with their supply chain.

Zhang Chen didn’t know when a situation like theirs started to happen, and whether they were the first. If not, and this situation happened earlier, Target’s supply chain would have problems and the goods would not be replenished. It's nothing strange.

"By the way, brother-in-law, they have a shop-in-shop, and the wedding supplies section is closed," Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this. Half of the wedding dresses in Target's wedding supplies store were supplied by Zhang Chen and the others.

Zhang Chen said okay, I understand, Xiaofang.

"Brother-in-law, are our losses big?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen said: "At Target, fortunately, we have already adopted the method of fast in and fast out as you mentioned, and the loss is not very big. If we stop it completely now, I calculated that we will lose about one million US dollars." Bar."

Xiaofang sighed and said that it was because her brother-in-law's company would be put into other smaller factories for one million US dollars, which would kill the factory.

Zhang Chen is right. There are many such companies in China that have closed down. What I am worried about is not just Target, but...

"But what?" Xiaofang asked anxiously.

"Other companies are having problems now. The ones in Europe, the UK, and Xu Qiaoxin's are now in complete chaos. They don't know what goods should be shipped and what goods should not be shipped."

Zhang Chen said: "You also know that about one-third of our foreign trade companies are orders from our own factories, and two-thirds are outsourced to other factories. Now the customers cannot be sure, and the factories below are I’m urging you, Xu Qiaoxin and the others are under quite a lot of pressure.”

"Across the board, goods that have not been paid for will not be shipped. This may be the way to minimize the loss. If the goods are shipped, the payment may be far away, and the goods may be completely wasted." Xiaofang said, " It’s a mess out there right now, and there aren’t many good companies that can survive.”

"I understand, Xiaofang." Zhang Chen nodded.

"Brother-in-law, do you need me to go back and help?" Xiaofang asked.

"No, no, I can still survive here." Zhang Chen said quickly, "You'd better take care of yourself."

"Don't hold on, brother-in-law. Just tell me if you need it. My sister is gone. Xiaoshu doesn't understand these things at all. There is no one around my brother-in-law who can help." Xiaofang said, her eyes turning red. She said: "I think about my brother-in-law, it's quite difficult."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Xiaofang, some of the people here are very good and capable. The more difficult times come, the more you can feel this. Zhao Zhigang, Xu Qiaoxin, Zhao Jingjing and Xiaoli They are all quite capable, I am not alone, Xiaofang, don’t worry.”

Xiaofang nodded "Yeah" and said, "Beibei and I are fine here. Brother-in-law, don't worry."

Zhang Chen said okay, as long as you are here, I am not worried about Zhang Xiangbei at all. It is just that this guy feels a little too courageous after learning from Xiao Wu. Xiao Fang, please restrain him a little.

Xiaofang laughed and said, "It's true. When we went out that day, two black men came over to provoke us and said those nonsense words. Haha, Beibei already knew how to protect me. I also told him that if we ever meet him in the future, When you see these people, pretend not to hear them and just ignore them. These people might have guns on them, and Bruce Lee’s tactics don’t work.”

Zhang Chen also laughed when he heard this. He said, I am still worried about him.

"I will remind him often, brother-in-law." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

Putting down the phone, Zhang Chen walked to the sofa and sat down. He saw through the open door that in the yard outside, two people came up from downstairs. After looking around for a while, they went upstairs. Zhang Chen knew that this was probably another person. Some kind of outsourcing factory came to Xu Qiaoxin.

At this time, everyone is in danger, everyone is on guard, and they have no confidence in their hearts. If something happens, Xu Qiaoxin will have many factory bosses coming to see her every day.

Zhang Chen told Xiao Wu that day, take good care of Xu Qiaoxin during this period. The intensity and pressure of her work are too great.

Xiao Wu said, I understand, Brother Chen.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Wu said, by the way, during this period, you don't have to drive for me. I can just drive myself. You can drive Xu Qiaoxin. If she goes to the factory below, you should accompany her.

Xiao Wu looked troubled, and Zhang Chen asked, what's wrong?

Xiao Wu said that if I drive for her, we will quarrel.

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"She has to drive every time, and her skills are rubbish. If I correct her, she will be annoyed. This person usually has a good temper, but when he gets the steering wheel, he has a bad temper and scolds everyone. There was a car in front of me and a car behind me, and she scolded every pedestrian passing by."

Xiao Wu said, and Zhang Chen laughed. He said, no matter how bad her temper is, she will follow her. The more she behaves like this, the more she needs you. Otherwise, what will happen if she quarrels with others? What should I do if I want a grandma?

Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said, Okay, okay, I'll endure it.

Xiaoli walked in from the outside. She told Zhang Chen that the factory at Zhao Zhigang's place is very empty now. I asked Li Wei and the others to open three more stores on Taobao.com. Although the sales increased not much, about one day. I sold seventy or eighty more items, but it was better than nothing.

Zhang Chen nodded.

"I have another idea, Mr. Zhang." Xiao Li said.

"What do you think?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I want to open more stores on Dibao.com and move all the products produced by the factories under Qiaoxin's foreign trade company online. They are not necessarily orders from our company. They produce orders from other companies, too. There must be final orders, put them all online and sell them.

"In this way, our e-commerce department can expand sales, and can also help their factories to increase their income. It is very difficult for everyone now." Xiaoli said.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up and he shouted: "This is a good idea, Xiaoli, have you told Xu Qiaoxin?"

"We have already discussed it. In the next two days, I will go to the factory below to take pictures and confirm the price. Tomorrow I will go to Shentu Hongyan first."

Zhang Chen said yes, that’s it.

…

It was at this time that Zhang Chen and his friends opened the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on Huaihai Middle Road in Shanghai, and the house in Hangzhou had been delivered, and renovations were about to begin. Huijuan was now the deputy director of Zhang Chen and his Ban Mu Tian Group. General manager, responsible for three Tuxiangyuan hotels in Xiasha, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

Zhang Chen went to Shanghai. He did not forget his promise and took Xu Qiaoxin and Xiao Wu with him. Xiaoli giggled. She came over and said to Zhang Chen, "If I don't do it, I won't do it. Why can't I follow?" Damn, Zhang Chen said okay, you go too, ask Ge Ling and Zhao Jingjing to go too, and drive your car. However, you go and have to come back in the evening. Zhao Jingjing has to work in the financial center tomorrow.

Xiaoli said yes, and ran out to tell Ge Ling and Zhao Jingjing the good news.

Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen were also planning to go, but when they arrived, Tan Shuzhen and Zhang Chen said they couldn't go. There were too many things going on here and it was a mess.

Zhang Chen called Meng Ping, but Meng Ping hesitated. He told Zhang Chen that after it opened, I would go by myself when I arrived in Shanghai, Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen felt strange and asked, Lao Meng, what are you doing? Where are you now? Why did Qian Fang say I haven't seen you for several days?

"Out of town, out of town." Meng Ping said.

The opening ceremony of Shanghai Tuxiangyuan Hotel was held at 6:30 in the evening on September 30th. It was not open to the public. All the guests who came were guests invited by Zhang Chen and the others. The biggest ones were customers of Xiaomi. Li is the clothing department manager of major shopping malls in Shanghai, and during the decoration and preparation period, Huijuan established some relationship households in Shanghai.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, happened to be in Shanghai. He came over, Lao Wan and Er Huo came, and Qian Fang also came over from Nanjing with Xu Jiaqing and Li Yang.

Seeing Qian Fang, Zhang Chen asked her, where was Meng Ping?

Qian Fang said angrily: "I don't know. This guy is so sneaky this time. I don't know what he is doing. If I ask him where he is, he won't tell me."

Qian Fang was worried when she said this, but she couldn't tell Zhang Chen. What she was worried about was that Meng Ping would not be fooled by someone again this time and play another trick on national assets.

Qian Fang asked Ye Yilan to say hello to the bank. If there is any large amount of funds in Lao Meng's account that he wants to transfer, don't transfer it yet and inform Ye Yilan. Ye Yilan will ask clearly before transferring. Meng Ping's empty shell Ye Yilan still handles both the company and finance.

This opening meal is also a taste test, where we invite good friends to give their opinions on the environment, service, and especially the dishes after coming.

The guests who came to participate seemed to be very satisfied with the environment and services of Tuxiangyuan Hotel, especially the dishes, and the response was good. They said that there are not many unique hotels like this in Shanghai, and the business will definitely be prosperous in the future.

After dinner, Qian Fang and Li Yang and Xu Jiaqing went back to Nanjing. Xiaoli, Ge Ling, Zhao Jingjing and others were also going back to Hangzhou. Xu Qiaoxin said that she was going back too. The factory owner called her earlier and made an appointment. I'm going to their factory tomorrow.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Wu said, then you can go back together, and I can come back by myself the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Chen is in Shanghai and will stay for one more day. He wants to see the reactions of customers when the business officially starts tomorrow.

Xiao Wu agreed, and he and Xu Qiaoxin and the others left together, five people in a car.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, went back to his store in Shanghai. Lao Wan and Er Huo also left. Zhang Chen, Huijuan, and Xiaomi sent them away one by one.

Xiaomi asked Zhang Chen if he wanted to go to the club and sit there. Zhang Chen said no, I also wanted to see if the soft furnishings here needed improvement.

Xiaomi said okay, then I went back to the club, there were still many guests there in the evening.

Zhang Chen said yes.

Only Huijuan and Zhang Chen were left. Zhang Chen and Huijuan said, you have worked hard during this time.

Huijuan shook her head and said it was not hard.

Huijuan laughed and asked, "Is there any reward, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Chen said yes, what do you want to reward?

"I want to go to the Bund to see the night view. I heard it's very good," Huijuan said.

Zhang Chen was surprised and asked: "You have been in Shanghai for so long and you haven't been to the Bund yet?"

"No." Huijuan shook her head and said with a smile, "I just want Brother Zhang to accompany me."
