As Xu An spoke, he glanced at Lu Shengnan and probed with interest, "President Wei, why are you suddenly concerned about Shengli Supermarket? Why did you call me to inquire? You should ask President Li for more information on this kind of thing. Could it be that something unusual happened to President Li, or that he absconded with the money?"
"Absconded with the money?" President Wei repeated the four words, then suddenly realized and asked, "Mr. Xu, are you saying that the current person in charge of Shengli Supermarket has run away?"
"Huh?" Xu An exclaimed in surprise, then quickly added, "Haha... I was just joking..."
“Mr. Xu, let’s exchange information!” President Wei spoke first: “There’s a rumor circulating widely recently, which says that Harvest Farm is the real owner of Xu’s Catering…”
"There's such a rumor?" Xu An was truly hearing this rumor for the first time, and his pupils dilated in shock.
Two people, both curious about what the other knew, began to probe each other. As they probed, they pieced together the whole story. When they learned the truth, they were both amused and exasperated. Everything had happened too coincidentally, so coincidentally that if they weren't the protagonists of the rumor, they would have believed it to be true.
Now that the truth has come to light, President Wei stopped being mysterious and said directly, "Mr. Xu, let's cooperate!"
Without waiting for Xu An's reaction, Wei not only revealed the entire plan, but also threw a sweet and delicious bait in front of Xu An.
"Mr. Xu, we understand that your company wants to enter the snack industry. If we can successfully acquire Shengli Supermarket, then every supermarket will set up a special counter displaying only Xu's catering products in the most prominent and high-traffic area."
Furthermore, regardless of the success of this collaboration, Xu's Catering will receive a 4% discount on all ingredients purchased from Fengshou Farm! This clause can be directly added to our current contract and will take effect immediately!
4% off!
Xu An couldn't help but click his tongue. It seemed that Harvest Farm was determined to acquire Victory Supermarket!
The discount figure might not seem like much at first glance, but considering that Xu's Catering's weekly procurement volume has reached one million RMB, a 4% discount means saving a full 40,000 RMB! That's 160,000 RMB per month!
160,000 is enough to cover one-third of the monthly salary of an ordinary employee at Xu's Catering!
In addition, the standalone counter at Victory Supermarket is also very tempting!
Regardless of whether Shengli Supermarket has declined or not, as long as the products can get into supermarkets, negotiating with the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth supermarkets will be much easier.
Moreover, every inch of space in a supermarket, besides the regular shelves, requires real money to acquire. Important display areas like department store counters either require brand recognition or high-profit products.
The conditions offered by Harvest Farm are already so generous that if I don't agree, it seems like I'm pushing my luck!
Xu An wasn't the kind of person who was greedy and knew when to stop. He immediately nodded and said, "Then I wish Harvest Farm a successful takeover of Victory Supermarket!"

On November 1st, Luo Peng's first day as a full-time employee, less than two hours into his shift, he received a phone call from someone whose contact name was "Boss Xu of Xu's Catering".
"You want to apply for a mortgage loan through our company again, is that right? What will be the collateral this time? Is it a plot of land? Have you obtained the land use certificate yet?"
No, that's alright. I can prepare the necessary documents for the loan first, and submit them to the bank for review as soon as I receive the land use certificate. Yes, no problem. Please send me the relevant information via email.
Okay, understood. I will evaluate it as soon as I receive the email. Goodbye, boss!
The moment Luo Peng answered the phone, Brother Liu at the next workstation perked up his ears, listening intently to the conversation. Then, just as Luo Peng ended the call, Brother Liu casually asked, "Little Luo, did some business come knocking? Which company is it?"
"Haha." Luo Peng chuckled awkwardly, then mumbled, "It should be a system-assigned order; it's just an inquiry about mortgage loans."
After dealing with his annoying senior colleague, Luo Peng opened the email sent by Xu An, carefully read through all the documents and materials in the email, compared them with the relevant regulations, and finally estimated a rough amount, and replied via email.
Based on the information submitted by your company, the maximum loan amount is estimated to be 36 million.
