Chapter 45 The Eve of Procurement

"Dad, I'm not saying this, but the farming gene in our family may be in me. The fact that our family hasn't gotten out of poverty and become rich over the years is not your fault, nor is it Grandpa's fault. It's really God who gave me this farming talent."

"You and I are still wandering around the starting point, but I am already standing at the end. Otherwise, why am I the only one in our village who is good at farming?"

I'm not exaggerating. Who else has the opportunity she has?

"Look at what I plant and it grows. Just follow me and wait to get paid!" Ye Zhen continued to speak shamelessly.

Father Ye: "...Then why did the cactus I planted when I was a kid die from watering?"

Ye Zhen was surprised and opened his eyes in disbelief. "Dad, everything has a process of accumulation. Some people are gifted and use less time. For example, I have accumulated enough time now, so I have exploded, right? Look how well my fruits are growing."

"There is a gap only when there is a comparison. Don't deny this genetic ability just because you and your grandfather have spent a long time and have not yet achieved any results. You have to accept the facts."

Ye Zhen's words were earnest and logical.

Father Ye had a wooden face and shook his head, kicking Ye Zhen's twisted ideas out of his mind, "Shut up and pick bayberries!"

"Okay, my dad!" Ye Zhen shut his mouth tactfully and picked bayberries happily.

Yuncheng Feng'an City Wanmao Supermarket Branch

The heads of various regions held a meeting to discuss solutions to the incident in which Country R exploited loopholes and violated the treaty, resulting in the delay in the listing of Rose Honey Plums.

At the branch building, the car had just stopped and the manager in charge of the fresh food purchasing chain came over to greet us.

"Mr. Zhang."

“Have the other category managers arrived?

“We are all here.”

…

After a while, a group of people entered the conference room. After they sat down, Mr. Zhang, also known as Zhang Ze, asked directly:

"Who is responsible for the supply chain of rose honey plums from Country R this time?"

The people below were uneasy. After a while, one of them wiped the sweat off his face tremblingly and stood up with his head lowered.

"Mr. Zhang, my department is in charge."

Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes and stared at the man coldly without saying a word.

He suddenly spoke up and asked directly:

"This accident caused a delay. Do you know how much financial loss it caused to us?"

"I just want to ask, as the launch period is approaching, have you communicated with the other party in advance? Do you have any alternative plans? What are the solutions? Have you reported the situation?"

The rebukes were directed at the person in charge of fresh produce in an aggressive manner. The atmosphere was cold and no one dared to make a sound.

Zhang Ze looked around, and the heavy pressure was like a huge rock pressing on their backs.

The person in charge of fresh produce broke out in a cold sweat. This matter was his fault. His subordinate manager had already reported it to him, but he did not take it seriously at the time. He thought that the company would eventually succumb to Country R’s proposal and raise the price for the acquisition. After all, this was how they had experienced it before.

He just asked the manager to send someone to find a replacement and didn't take it too seriously.

I didn't expect that after the new director was replaced, his style of doing things was very different from the previous director.

“Director Zhang, I am negligent in this matter. After unsuccessful advance communication, our department sent purchasing staff to track the market and look for alternatives. Samples are now being tested and are expected to be available this morning.” The person in charge of fresh produce mustered up the courage to admit his mistake, and after responding to the question, he nervously held his breath and waited for instructions.

"I want to see the report and samples right now. Ask my subordinates to bring the samples over now so that everyone can come and review them. We can talk about your matter later."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ze gave an order. If the Rose Honey Plum could not be put on the shelves or other substitutes could be found this time, he would be held responsible!

"Yes, I'll have someone bring it over now."

The person in charge of fresh produce breathed a sigh of relief and called Zhao Feng after leaving the house:

"Zhao Feng, how is the sample test report? Has it come out? Good! Bring the samples and test report to the conference room as soon as possible."

Pushing the door open, the person in charge of fresh produce said, "Mr. Zhang, the inspection report and samples will be here soon."

Zhang Ze had a cold face, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Everyone else sat in their seats, not daring to breathe. This was such a big accident, and if it wasn't handled properly, everyone present would face accountability from the headquarters.

Zhao Feng was carrying a basket of plums with two varieties in it and the inspection report in his hand. The moment he saw the result, his heart started beating rapidly and now he was so excited that he seemed to jump out immediately!

This is far superior to the rose honey plums from country R, ​​whether in terms of nutritional value or other aspects, this wave is a sure win!

Arriving at the door of the conference room, Zhao Feng calmed down and knocked on the door calmly: "Dear leaders, the test report has arrived."

"Come in!"

Zhao Feng pushed the door open and entered, trying his best to overcome his nervousness, and placed the plum and the report in front of the person sitting at the main seat.

Zhang Ze took the report and was amazed by the appearance of the plum at first sight. He opened the report calmly, his eyebrows relaxed a little bit, and he didn't know where he saw it, but he slammed his hand on the table excitedly.

"good!"

Zhang Ze smiled happily, "Everyone, take a look at this report and see what you think."

As the reports were circulated, exclamations came one after another, and several leaders even came over and picked up the plums to watch.

"Mr. Zhang, as long as the test report is true, we can completely cancel the contract with Country R. If we find plums that are more valuable than Rose Honey Plums, the market will be further reshuffled. Perhaps this can become the main green fruit in our supermarket."

The marketing manager was excited. As long as the plums entered the market, their department could occupy other areas and expand the market.

"The nutritional value in the test report exceeded expectations and there were no pesticide residues."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ze was also excited. This meant that they were no longer constrained by Country R, ​​and would achieve further breakthroughs in both cost control and brand management.

"Then come up with a plan: 1. After the contract with Country R is terminated, determine the date for the new product to be put on the shelves as soon as possible. 2. Contact the new product supplier as soon as possible to determine the production volume and sign a purchase contract. 3. Try to keep the price within 3%. Please report the follow-up situation to me in detail."

He looked around and asked, "Can everyone do this?"

"Got it!" Leaders of various departments expressed their opinions one after another.

As soon as the meeting was over and Zhang Ze left, the person in charge of fresh produce immediately relaxed and leaned back in his chair.

He turned around and praised Zhao Feng with satisfaction: "This matter was handled well. Now you should contact the supplier as soon as possible. If this matter is handled well, you can also get promoted to a higher position!"

Zhao Feng was so happy that he was about to die. He was just an employee at the moment, and if he got promoted to a higher position, he would be a supervisor!

The salaries of supervisors have at least doubled!

I tightened my mouth tightly, afraid to laugh, "Okay, manager, I'll contact you right away."

Zhao Feng hurried back to his workstation, clicked on the contact, and found the contact information Ye Zhen had given him. The phone rang.

The call was connected, and the other end's refreshing voice came, "Hello, hello, who are you?"

…………

Ye Zhen was talking to Ye's father. Since she asked Ye's father to talk to the village chief about growing strawberries yesterday, there has been no news yet. She suspected that Ye's father did not explain clearly.

Otherwise, why is no one looking for her now? This is too disrespectful to Lingqi!

Don't want to make money anymore? Ye Zhen was puzzled.
