The secretary of the director of the First Food Factory knocked on the meeting room door.
He reported to the factory manager that someone had called to inquire about ordering mooncakes, and the quantity was very large, asking if they could get a discount.
However, when asked which manufacturer it was, the other party did not answer.
What does this mean?
The factory manager of the second food factory tentatively asked, "Do you think they're planning to buy our mooncakes and resell them since they can't produce enough themselves?"
The factory manager of the First Food Factory said, "You should call back immediately and ask if anyone has placed a large order for mooncakes with you..."
"Factory manager, yes!"
However, their price was too low; our profit margin was too small. That woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar, but I couldn't place it…”
"Someone called and wanted a large quantity of mooncakes, but the price was too low, so I refused them outright!"
We're not making any profit!
I refused her repeatedly; this woman is too talkative…
The factory manager of the First Food Factory leaned back, his entire body pressed against the back of his chair. "See that?"
Why are we not doing well in business?
We're too honest!
They won't produce if they don't have the raw materials, so they buy from us at low prices and then resell them.
They don't have to do anything; they just need to talk to make money!
We're working ourselves to the bone producing goods, and we also have to take care of the workers' housing and healthcare... Do you think we can afford to play this game with them?
The remaining two factory managers remained silent for a long time after hearing this...
"It seems that Anshun Food Factory and Sandao Street Food Factory are going to buy our mooncakes." The director of the Second Food Factory said to the director of the Third Factory as they walked out.
"I want to sell it at wholesale price..."
"This is probably not a good idea! Old Liang can't agree to this either!" The "Old Liang" that the Second Factory Director was referring to was Liang Hui, the director of the First Food Factory.
"We handled this matter a bit..."
"It's getting harder and harder to do business now."
Without planned orders, we won't last long either..."
On the sixth and fifth days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Pan Lanlan called three manufacturers as instructed by Song Yan.
Pan Lanlan and Song Yan discussed the situation over the past two days. "The First Food Factory should add 30% to the retail price before selling to us."
The second food factory initially intended to sell at retail price. Later, they relented and said they could lower the price a little, but they didn't specify how much.
Only the Third Food Factory was willing to sell to us at a slightly higher price than the original wholesale price. At this price, both parties could still make a profit.
Should I continue asking for prices tomorrow?
Song Yan gathered with the food factory's head and key management personnel, and everyone listened to Pan Lanlan's words.
Each person had their own feelings.
However, they had no hope for Song Yan's earlier talk of a counterattack.
The idea is great, but where will we get so many raw materials?
But now, they can finally vent their anger.
Since they discovered that the three food factories were causing trouble, they definitely wanted to find a way to investigate them.
Shi Junbao has already found someone to infiltrate their factory.
They had already slowed down the production of mooncakes a couple of days ago, but suddenly they accelerated production again.
This is why everyone knows the reason.
Song Yan repeatedly asked Pan Lanlan to negotiate the price of the mooncakes with them.
Some of them knew Pan Lanlan, and some of them would definitely recognize her voice.
They thought Pan Lanlan was afraid of being recognized, so she kept calling them and hiding her identity.
This further convinced them that Anshun Food Factory and Sandao Street Food Factory would be unable to deliver the goods.
They were even more convinced that Anshun Food Factory and Sandao Street Food Factory would eventually pay high prices to buy their mooncakes.
Chang Xiaohu: "Second Sister-in-law, let's wait two more days before starting the delivery!"
Tomorrow is the eleventh day of the eighth lunar month, then the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth.
These next few days will be the peak season for mooncake sales.
They didn't receive any orders from the military, so they don't plan to produce as much as originally intended!
These past two days, they've been spurred on by Pan Lanlan's phone call, and the factory is working overtime again, even overnight.
They felt that the mooncakes produced by Anshun and Sandao Street food factories were not enough to meet their orders, so they had no goods to sell in the retail sector.
They are maintaining production to stock up for retail.
Their production volume has probably already reached their maximum speed.
They're counting on us to buy their mooncakes to fulfill our own orders!
I'll not only make them lose all those mooncakes, but I'll also make sure they're stuck with them.
"We'll crush them in retail too!" Song Yan's words carried a hint of domineering confidence.
They really messed with themselves.
The factory director of the First Food Factory was surnamed Liang and named Liang Hui.
He actually sent someone to test how to get Yu Bing and Zhang Liguo released.
While plotting against his own distillery, he also wanted to ruin the food factory.
If Song Yan doesn't deal with him, who else will he deal with?
"Raw materials are plentiful, and the workers are working even harder."
"At our production speed, we expect to finish all the orders and the expected retail mooncakes by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow," Chang Xiaohu said.
"Tomorrow afternoon, we'll stop half of the mooncake production and start producing pastries and cookies instead."
These things are also popular before the holiday! Song Yan said.
"In retail, they are not as competitive as us to begin with."
But can't we find a way to go a step further and seize all the market share we can? Cheng Youfu now hates them to the core.
The food rationing system has not been abolished yet because of the lack of food rations; even if you have money, you can't buy food as you please.
Song Yan: "Starting tomorrow, our stores will allow customers to purchase mooncakes, pastries, and biscuits without using food coupons."
