Chapter 573 Fruit Supply
Sheng Siyu was stunned for a second by her question.
ah?
fruit?
Ah, yes, yes, they had eaten here with a few people at the front desk before.
But, does Mr. Xue know?
Sheng Siyu thought about it carefully and found it not surprising.
They have surveillance cameras at the front desk. Although the bosses may not be able to pay attention to it all the time, they will check it occasionally.
In addition, the front office manager will also report some matters, and may even mention them in private conversations.
So, not surprising.
However, Mr. Xue doesn't look like he dislikes this kind of thing.
So, maybe they don't want to take responsibility for this matter, so they are probably asking about other things.
After thinking about it for a few times, Sheng Siyu smiled and nodded: "Mr. Xue, the fruit at my sister's place is indeed delicious."
When you speak to yourself, you should be more humble.
Therefore, Sheng Siyu chose her words carefully so as not to make people think she was too proud.
Seeing her serious look, Ms. Xue felt like laughing. She wanted Sheng Siyu to relax a little.
However, in such a relationship, even if she says to relax, the other party may not relax. In order to play her role, he may have to pretend to be relaxed, which is even more tiring.
After figuring it out, Mr. Xue said no more and got straight to the point: "We're hosting a very important group next week, and I've been worried about fruit procurement. Headquarters has offered a lot of options, but I've used all those fruits before, and they're just so-so. But I heard the fruit from your sister's shop tastes great, so I wanted you to ask if you can get it in bulk."
"We use it as daily fruit for the guest rooms. The quantity doesn't need to be too much, but it's best to use high-quality fruit that looks good and can be kept for a long time."
"The tour group will be staying for seven days. The purchasing department will give me the quantity of fruit we need soon. Could you please ask your sister if they can provide it? We can negotiate the price."
…
Most of the fruits purchased from the headquarters are imported, and some are bought directly by plane. In fact, the prices are not cheap.
Although the costs are shared by stores in various locations, if it is more convenient and the cost is relatively reasonable, purchasing nearby is actually more in line with the purchasing philosophy and expectations of the headquarters.
Of course, the headquarters' first consideration is quality.
Daily fruit supplies can be purchased locally with relatively good appearance and quality.
However, when it comes to some special or important receptions, even the fruits served are carefully selected.
Sheng Siyu had already guessed in her mind what Mr. Xue meant by asking about this matter.
Now that she heard it, it was almost the same as she guessed.
Sheng Siyu once asked about the fruit when the two sisters were chatting.
Sheng Jiu’s answer at the time was that suppliers occasionally had it, but they were not sure of the variety.
So, now she was not sure how to answer. After careful consideration, she replied to Mr. Xue: "Mr. Xue, I need to ask about my sister's situation in detail. How about I go and ask her after work?"
Mr. Xue was not surprised that Sheng Siyu said this.
After all, the person who made the final decision on this matter was Sheng Siyu's sister, so her consent was definitely needed.
So, she quickly nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work. I'll also have to ask your sister to prepare a quote. If she's not good at this, I can ask Purchasing Manager Sun to work with her."
This matter was originally initiated by their hotel.
What's more, what they need is indeed urgent.
Therefore, if possible, Mr. Xue can help arrange all the subsequent docking matters.
Sheng Siyu called Sheng Jiu first.
As a result, no one answered.
She was not in a hurry either.
Knowing that Sheng Jiu is busy, he will naturally call her back when he is free.
When Sheng Jiu came back from picking Xanthium sibiricum, he saw Sheng Siyu's missed call and quickly called her back.
After learning about the fruit, she hurriedly explained to Sheng Siyu: "These fruits are from the supplier, and my store doesn't have the procedures for buying and selling fruit, so it doesn't comply with the procedures."
If this kind of thing is not exposed, nothing will happen.
What I’m afraid of is that someone might eat your food and think it’s good, then report it and stab you in the back.
Sheng Jiu has seen too many things like this.
Therefore, in all matters, even with sisters, it is impossible to violate the procedures and get yourself into trouble.
If you can follow the process, follow it all.
Although the fruits come from ourselves, the process needs to go through the company.
Sheng Siyu was not surprised by this. He told her about the company's plans and acted as a middleman, allowing Sheng Jiu and Manager Sun to add each other's contact information.
After all, Sheng Jiu is still needed to act as a middleman in this matter.
Manager Sun also didn't think of going beyond Shengjiu and directly contacting the other party's purchasing company.
After a series of troublesome processes, the system quickly gave a quote.
After seeing this and calculating the costs, Manager Sun made a comparison and found that it was more cost-effective than purchasing directly from the headquarters and then distributing it to hotels in various locations.
Moreover, according to feedback from the front office manager, the quality of the fruit is indeed good.
They still need to look at the samples and send them back to the headquarters for feedback.
Although they both win and lose.
However, some matters such as procurement are still the responsibility of the headquarters.
To put it bluntly, although they are flying independently, some cost controls are still decided by the headquarters, so even if they really fly, they can't fly far.
These things took three or four days to deal with.
By the time Sheng Siyu's hotel completed the procedures and confirmed the purchase contract, it was already Saturday.
At this time, there were still three days left before their hotel would host VIP guests next week.
Shengjiu needs to make preparations within two days and deliver the fruits before 6 am on the third day.
After they finish cleaning the guest rooms, they will place the corresponding fruits there to make the reception more perfect.
Although some fruits can be stored overnight, it actually doesn't affect anything.
However, most fruits will become obviously stale after being stored overnight.
Therefore, the best visual effect can be achieved by recording and playing immediately.
In the past few days, Sheng Jiu hardly had to worry about anything, as most of the time it was the system that followed up on this matter.
She collected Xanthium sibiricum for three days, asked the system to process it into powder, and then shipped it out according to the order provided by Sheng Zexuan.
At the same time, there is Sheng Jiu’s own side.
Before, many classmates, friends and others did not believe in Shengjiu’s products.
After all, I have fallen into too many traps because of rhinitis.
Some people will think of taking medicine when they feel particularly uncomfortable.
Since we can’t get rid of the root of the problem anyway, let it be.
However, some people find it really good.
At least, they didn’t feel uncomfortable during the season when the catkins were flying!
That’s great!
