Chapter 65 Blackmail?
Assistant Jiang and others welcomed Shen Jiwen and Wang Fei into the factory.
As everyone was walking in, a young man with a shaved head came out of the dilapidated office, walked towards Shen Jiwen and others with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands to express a warm welcome. It means that this man is about the same age as Shen Jiwen and has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are particularly bright and lively, looking like black gems, blazing with brilliance.
However, Shen Jiwen could detect a hint of anxiety from the other person's eyebrows. This man did look somewhat similar to Zhou Hongchang.
"Haha, this is Mr. Shen! Hello, hello. I am the general manager of Lecoco Beverage. My surname is Zhou and my name is Zhou Xingda. This is my business card."
After saying that, the other party handed over the business card with both hands. Shen Jiwen felt a little disappointed in his heart. He took the other party's business card with both hands, and then handed one of his own over.
Zhou Xingda hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it, and then, together with Assistant Jiang, welcomed Shen Jiwen and others into the office, and seated them separately for the guests of honor.
After some pleasantries, Zhou Xingda said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, Assistant Jiang has told me your purpose of coming. The fact that you can choose our Lecoco drink shows that Mr. Shen is very discerning. There is some material here. You can
Take a look."
After saying that, Zhou Xingda handed a stack of materials to Shen Jiwen, and Wang Fei next to him reached out to take it. Shen Jiwen glanced at it and found that it was about the product certificate, health certificate, quality inspection report, etc. of Lecoco Beverage. It is stamped with the official seals of all levels of Qifeng City government, proving that this drink has undergone strict quality inspection before being put on the market.
Shen Jiwen already had some idea of this, because there was not a single consumer complaint about product quality during the sales of Lococo beverages in Bilaike Supermarket.
But now that he thinks about it, he is still a little scared. He dared to introduce this product into the supermarket and push it to the market when he didn't know much about it at the time. If something went wrong with the product and caused a consumer dispute, he would be in trouble. In the midst of endless troubles.
Xi Ziyi must have realized this, but when Shen Jiwen proposed to push the Cocoa drink into the supermarket, facing this completely unfamiliar drink, the other party readily agreed. He knew that the other party was doing it entirely for his sake.
Wang Fei read these documents in detail, and then nodded to Shen Jiwen, meaning that these documents were all genuine.
Shen Jiwen asked directly: "How much capital is needed to be an agent?"
As soon as Zhou Xingda heard the other party ask this question, he knew that the other party must be interested in cooperation, otherwise he would not ask this question, so he said sincerely.
"Mr. Shen also knows that our Lecoco drink has not been on the market for a long time. As an agent, we are not like other large beverage manufacturers who frequently spend millions on goods. Our early investment has been in first-line companies like Kyoto City. Four to five million yuan in the city should be enough."
"Then what month are the products in our warehouse now?"
Shen Jiwen asked.
He had noticed this problem when Bi Lai Ke investigated this batch of drinks, and Wang Fei reminded him again last night.
Sure enough, when this issue was mentioned, the anxiety between Zhou Xingda's eyebrows increased even more. He sighed softly and said sincerely: "Mr. Shen, to be honest with you, the warehouse is full of goods from March this year."
When Shen Jiwen heard this, he frowned. It was December now, and the shelf life of this beverage store was only eleven months, which meant that there were only two months left before the expiration date.
In addition, it is the off-season for beverage sales, and products that are approaching their shelf life in large supermarkets cannot be sold inside at all.
If Xi Ziyi hadn't taken out the back door, this kind of old product wouldn't have been able to get into Bi Lai Ke anyway.
"There are still two months left before the shelf life. Now is the off-season for beverage sales, and Lococo is not well-known in the market. Manager Zhou, if you were me, would you still be an agent for such a product?"
Shen Jiwen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Zhou Xingda looked embarrassed. He looked at Assistant Jiang. Assistant Jiang naturally knew what his boss was thinking and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you two yuan cheaper per box. You can save money on a one-time purchase of 400,000 yuan." Twenty to thirty thousand."
When Shen Jiwen saw that the real owner didn't show his trump card, he snorted coldly, stood up in an elegant manner and said: "Secretary Wang, let's go. It seems that the other party has no sincerity in cooperation at all."
After saying that, he walked towards the door, with Wang Fei and Leopard Head, followed closely by Zhao Tielin and others.
Zhou Xingda didn't expect Shen Jiwen to leave just as soon as he said so. He stood up in a hurry and blocked the front with Assistant Jiang. He said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, why did you just leave just now? Assistant Jiang didn't understand the market just now, and the price was okay." Discuss?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen. I really don't understand much about the price. I was just talking casually."
Assistant Jiang said quickly.
"Hmph! Mr. Zhou, we all are sensible people. To be honest, all your goods will turn into scraps in two months, and they won't even be worth tap water. It's good that someone is buying it now. Give me a 50% discount, okay? If so, I will pay you today."
As soon as Shen Jiwen said these words, everyone in the audience was shocked. This is not much different from blackmail!
The faces of the other party's people changed on the spot. It seemed that if Zhou Xingda's presence wasn't in the way, they would have said goodbye.
Even Wang Fei, Leopard Head and others were astonished. They thought they would be unable to explain such a price.
The reason is very simple, just like when you go shopping for clothes, you have to give someone 500 yuan for clothes that cost 1,000 yuan. This is no different from scolding someone.
But Shen Jiwen dared to say it.
Just after he finished speaking, Sun Han, the financial manager sitting next to Zhou Xingda, said: "This is absolutely not possible. As a result, our factory will directly lose more than 200,000 yuan."
Shen Jiwen chuckled, ignored Sun Han, turned around and asked Zhou Xingda: "Since you don't like to see losses, you can find a partner who is willing to represent this drink and offer a higher price than me. "Mr. Zhou, I have made it very clear just now. I don't want to repeat it again. You can think about it and reply to me when you have thought about it."
After saying that, Shen Jiwen stood up and left, followed by Wang Fei and others.
"Why don't you give me some extra money? To be honest, I'll even pay the workers' wages."
Zhou Xingda stood up quickly and followed behind.
When Shen Jiwen heard this, he was even more determined about the price he offered, and said with a troubled expression: "To be honest, Mr. Zhou, the batch number of your goods is too long, even if you send it to the supermarket for nothing, no one will want it."
Although these words sound ugly, they are true. The supermarket is focused on maintaining the credibility and image of the entire store. Although Zhou Xingda and others looked ugly, they had to admit this fact.
"Moreover, if I hadn't been optimistic about the quality, taste and market prospects of your drink, I wouldn't have come. Of course, I never like to force others. When you think about it, you can give me a call. .”
Over there, Zhao Tielin had already driven the car over, and Leopard Tou opened the door beside him. Shen Jiwen got into the back seat of the Land Rover, rolled down the window, and said goodbye to Zhou Xingda and others. Waiting for Leopard Tou and Wang Fei After getting in the car, the Land Rover drove away.
"Damn, I didn't expect that Zhou Xingda to be so difficult to talk to. Brother Shen, should we just go back like this? If it doesn't work, give him some eye drops."
Ever since Leopard Head got into trouble last night, he was always looking for an opportunity to make amends.
"Assistant Wang, what do you think?"
Shen Jiwen ignored the leopard head and asked Wang Fei who was sitting next to him.
The other party's body was still exuding a faint fragrant aroma. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the other party's slender black silk legs under the professional skirt. Shen Jiwen seemed to feel the charming atmosphere in the other party's bathroom last night.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Fei to know the dirty thoughts in Shen Jiwen's heart at this time, and he muttered: "Now let's see who of us can stay calmer. To be honest, Mr. Shen, from the bottom of my heart, I don't think so. I agree with you as an agent for this drink. There are a lot of mixed drinks on the market now, but the only ones consumers recognize are Fengyuan Juice, Coca-Cola and other big brands. Since the other party doesn’t agree, it seems to me that it’s just right.”
Shen Jiwen laughed and said, "That's because I haven't made Lococo before."
These words sounded a bit arrogant at first, but they also revealed a sense of domineering.
While the two were talking, suddenly Shen Jiwen's cell phone rang, and it turned out to be Zhou Xingda's call.
"What's the matter, Mr. Zhou?"
