Chapter 443 Cooperation
"I thought it was a good idea, but this is it, tsk tsk."
Yan Guohua turned around and saw that it was Chen Guangjian again. How dare this old bastard come here to steal my skills? And he did it so openly. How shameless!
"Old man, do you still have any shame? You imitated us before, and now you want to imitate us again, right?"
"I've learned it, what can you do about it? There's no rule that this method can only be used by the Second Department Store."
"You're just making up your mind, old man. I'm going to fight you!"
Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that the general manager, who was always mature and steady, would have such a bad temper one after another.
Two general managers, as soon as they met, started quarreling like elementary school students. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
"Come on, hit me if you dare! I let you go last time, but this time I'll knock your front teeth out!"
Chen Guangjian showed no sign of weakness. Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Su Xiaoxiao hurried out to smooth things over.
"Managers, how about we collaborate with the First and Second Department Stores?"
As soon as she tentatively started talking, they both spoke at the same time.
"impossible!"
"No way!"
In some ways, the two of them really have a good understanding.
"Managers, listen to me. If we continue as we are now, we'll just have to fight a price war. Prices will get lower and lower, and profits will get smaller and smaller. Even if one of us wins, there won't be much profit. Isn't that just wasting our time?"
"Besides, there are more than just two department stores in Binhe City. If other department stores join the competition, the prices will only get higher and higher. No one will make any money, and we'll just lose money to gain publicity. Is this the result you want?"
The two looked at each other and fell silent.
Yan Guohua cleared his throat and spoke first: "Xiao Su, then tell me how we can cooperate."
Chen Guangjian snorted coldly: "Who wants to cooperate with you? No way."
"You're not the only department store in our city. I just wanted to cooperate. Did I even approach yours? You're so shameless."
"What did you say, old man?"
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly spoke up to stop them: "Two managers, don't be anxious. Listen to what I have to say."
"If the two companies can cooperate to eliminate malicious price-cutting and guarantee profits for our department store, we can both clear out inventory and increase profits. It's the best of both worlds."
"If other department stores want to compete maliciously, we have a better chance of winning if we're two against one, right?"
She finished speaking and waited for the two leaders' reactions.
Chen Guangjian had a dark face. He had been competing with Yan Guohua for more than ten years. If he really had to sit down and cooperate with him calmly now, he would really feel uncomfortable.
But what the little girl said just now was indeed right.
Seeing his long face, Yan Guohua thought that the old man would not agree. He snorted in his heart and looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Comrade Su, your suggestion is good. Since the Second Department Store is not interested in cooperation, you can come with me to the Third Department Store later. I believe that as long as we show sincerity, they will definitely agree."
As he said this, he was about to stand up.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Guangjian hurriedly stopped him, "Stop right there, old man! Who said we won't cooperate with you?"
He just took a little longer to think about it, but he didn't say no.
Yan Guohua had known for a long time that this person would definitely agree, and that what he did just now was all intentional. These days, truth and falsehood all depend on acting.
In fact, there was no real deep hatred between the two of them. It was just a little competitive spirit when they were young.
However, he still didn't show anything on his face, and sat back in his seat with an expressionless face: "Okay, since you strongly requested it, I will reluctantly agree."
"What do you mean by reluctantly? How many people are vying to cooperate with our First Department Store? You really shine when you're given a little sunshine?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two became tense again, Su Xiaoxiao hurried out to smooth things over.
"Managers, we'll be partners from now on. How about shaking hands?"
She made the suggestion sincerely, thinking that the two would object, but unexpectedly, they actually agreed.
"Okay, let's shake hands."
Yan Guohua extended his hand first, and Chen Guangjian sneered: "As if no one dares."
The two of them shook hands quickly as a formality, and then quickly let go.
Su Xiaoxiao said that there should be photos here, but unfortunately she didn't have a camera.
"Congratulations, both managers. From today on, our two department stores are partners."
The two of them snorted in unison, as a sign of agreement.
Chen Guangjian asked, "Comrade Xiao Su, since we are now on the same page, can you tell me about the free meal promotion?"
Yan Guohua's face darkened. Could it be that this old man agreed to cooperate just for this?
This is fleecing them right in front of him.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Guohua and said, "General Manager, now our two companies are in a state of mutual prosperity and mutual loss. We must organize this activity together. I will explain it to General Manager Chen. Do you have any objections?"
Thinking about the fact that he had just agreed to cooperate, Yan Guohua gritted his teeth and agreed.
They acted immediately and in the afternoon, the two department stores launched free-of-charge activities at the same time.
The activity became an instant hit as soon as it was launched.
The queues in front of each store stretched for miles.
This thing is like buying a lottery ticket, everyone thinks they might be the lucky winner.
In fact, the odds of winning are like finding a needle in a haystack.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished her work at the event, she remembered about the chili sauce factory and hurried to the office to talk to Yan Guohua about it.
She believed that hot sauce, beef sauce and the like would be very popular once they were sold in department stores.
Just when she was about to go look for someone, Hu San and Chen Hai also came over.
Both of them shaved clean, washed their faces, and even changed into new clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two people with satisfaction for a moment and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the general manager now."
The two of them had never met any high-ranking officials, so when they heard that they were going to meet the general manager of the department store, they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Su Xiaoxiao took the two of them straight to the manager's office and knocked on the door.
"General Manager, it's me, Xiao Su. Is it convenient for you to come in now?"
Yan Guohua's voice soon came from inside: "Come in."
Yan Guohua has always admired Su Xiaoxiao, the great contributor.
Su Xiaoxiao walked in and explained her purpose to Yan Guohua. When she was about to introduce the two people to Yan Guohua, she found that the two people following her had disappeared.
When I turned around, I saw two people peeking inside through the crack in the door.
Su Xiaoxiao almost laughed out of anger: "Why don't you two come in? Why are you standing at the door pretending to be door gods?"
These two people are both bosses, so why are they so scared when they see their leaders?
The two of them could only enter the office cautiously.
