I can see the commodity price curve

Looking at the surprised expression of the young man in front of him, the situation was a bit awkward.

Especially the stinky tofu boss, he looked at Zhang Yue with a shocked expression: "Are you the boss of October Food Factory?"

Zhang Yue hurriedly laughed: "It used to be, but it's not now."

"Ah? Did you sell the October Food Factory?"

“This… doesn’t count either.

I am now a shareholder of October Food Factory, and all the affairs in the factory have been handed over to others. "

The son of the stinky tofu boss said: "But the problem is, you never took care of the October Food Factory before!

Since the establishment of the October Food Factory, the manager has been Manager Zhan Susu.

Director Wu Dachuan sometimes helps, but Manager Zhan still takes the lead. "

Zhang Yue looked at this guy helplessly and thought, if you don't dismantle me, will you die?

No wonder you will lose your job. It's just you, and your old father-in-law doesn't dislike you and is willing to invest in opening a store for you.

If it had been anyone else, you would have starved to death by now.

The stinky tofu boss also realized Zhang Yue's embarrassment, and he said haha:

“Boss Zhang, I’m really sorry.

I sold the October mineral water in front of the stinky tofu stall, which did not meet your regulations.

But my situation here is rather special.

Because stinky tofu tastes salty, consumers have a higher demand for water than the food stalls there.

But don’t worry, I will make corrections from now on.

Make sure that guests can only drink your mineral water when they eat snacks from October Food Factory. "

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Yue instantly realized that he had misunderstood:

"Brother, to be honest, the purpose of my coming here today is indeed to do market research.

But I didn't know that you were also a client of mine.

I will visit your stall mainly because I personally prefer to eat stinky tofu.

Besides, October mineral water has been distributed to you.

It’s up to you how you sell it. The activity we suggest to customers about eating snacks and giving water is to compete with other mineral water brands.

You should know how big the current mineral water market is.

Even if we save 20 cents on shipping costs for one bottle, we still don’t have much of an advantage in terms of profits for end customers. "

When the owner of Stinky Tofu heard what Zhang Yue said, he immediately said: "So that's what happened, I was shocked.

Come on, eat stinky tofu, don't be polite. "

The two parties exchanged a few polite words, and the son-in-law of the stinky tofu boss said to Zhang Yue:

"Mr. Zhang, Manager Wu, since you are here, let's sit in the shop!

I also wanted to report my work to you, but unfortunately I never had the chance. "

Zhang Yue nodded, and Wu Qingshan followed each other towards the snack bar.

Suddenly, Wu Qingshan slapped his forehead and said to Zhang Yue: "Boss, I remembered.

This person's name is Li Guanghui, one of the agents of October Food Factory in Hongdu. "

Zhang Yue turned to look at Wu Qingshan: "Isn't it right? You just recognized it now?"

You must know that Wu Qingshan was the warehouse supervisor of the October Food Factory before. As the head of the warehouse, he was not even familiar with the agents. This guy is very skilled at fishing!

Wu Qingshan was a little embarrassed: "Boss, you can't blame me entirely.

October Food Factory has 5,000 agents across the country.

Especially in a provincial capital city like Hongdu, there are twenty-four people.

I only met them at the annual client meeting.

I was able to recognize each other because I looked at the photos of these twenty-four customers several times before coming to Hongdu.

Don't talk about me. Even if you call Manager Zhan over, you may not be able to call him by name without any preparation.

Zhang Yue nodded when he heard this.

He is not an unreasonable person, what Wu Qingshan said is indeed the actual situation.

Due to the large number of customers in the October food factory, twenty-five batches were divided at that time.

It took more than a month to do this.

Even then, there were two hundred people in each batch.

Even though Zhang Yue has a strong memory, he can't tell who is from whom, let alone Wu Qingshan.

Seeing that Zhang Yue did not pursue the matter, Wu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said: "Boss, if I guess correctly, the mineral water we gave Li Guanghui was not given as a gift at all.

Instead, it was sold by his father-in-law through a stinky tofu stall for one yuan a bottle.

What should we do in this situation? "

Zhang Yue fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had already guessed the matter after the owner of the stinky tofu stall told him the whole story.

In fact, you can’t blame the other party.

The Juewei series of October Food Factory is very competitive because it restores the taste of the ingredients to the greatest extent.

As soon as the food stalls are set up, consumers will soon form a long queue.

So for stall owners, there is no need to send extra water.

After all, water is money. Wouldn’t it be nice to sell it again?

But the next moment, Zhang Yue was relieved.

He smiled and said to Wu Qingshan: "Our mineral water is sent to customers, although it saves shipping costs, it has created the lowest wholesale price in the mineral water industry.

But the customer paid anyway.

In other words, they are free to do what they do after receiving the goods.

We suggest that customers give water to customers for free, just to help open up sales for October mineral water.

So for us, as long as the water is sold, everything else is not a problem.

As for the reputation of October Food Factory’s products, do we still need to build reputation? "

When Wu Qingshan heard what Zhang Yue said, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "You're right, I didn't expect this."

At the same time, I felt a little admired.

No wonder Zhang Yue can be the boss.

After seeing the same thing, he just felt that the customer did not do what he wanted.

But Zhang Yue was able to consider the nature of the incident, and the two were not on the same level at all.

It seems that I have to study hard in the future!

Li Guanghui's snack bar is more than 500 meters away from the stinky tofu stall.

Zhang Yue saw a long queue all the way away.

Li Guanghui smiled and said: "Boss Zhang, thank you!

The unique flavor series you developed is simply amazing.

I am middle-aged and unemployed and can't find a suitable job anywhere.

But my family needs me to work hard to make money.

In desperation, I almost became a security guard.

It was my father-in-law who suggested that I open a snack bar.

I was very confused at that time because I couldn’t cook at all and I had no interest in food.

My dad often criticizes me, saying that I am not good enough to open a restaurant in my life.

I have always believed this. After all, only if you sincerely love this industry can you do it well.

But the house will soon be in trouble.

I gritted my teeth and did it.

Unexpectedly, business was extremely good on the first day.

I did some calculations and found that I earned in one day what it would have taken me half a month to work before.

And this is under the premise of opening discounts.

By the next day, the profit increased by 50%.

What I was most grateful for at that time was you, who gave me the opportunity to support this family with my own hands.

Without you, I might still have accomplished nothing. "

Although this was not the first time that Zhang Yue had heard similar words, he still smiled and said: "There is no need to express gratitude, this is a win-win cooperation between us.

You make money to support your family, and I make money to support mine. ” ˆ ˆ “Haha, that’s true. "

Li Guanghui said, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed: "Boss Zhang, I have to admit a mistake to you.

The October mineral water you sent me was not given to customers for free as you said.

This is what my father-in-law meant.

He helped me open this store, so I can't go against his words.

But don’t worry, starting from today, October mineral water will be delivered to customers strictly as required. "

After Zhang Yue heard what he said, he quickly waved his hand and repeated his previous point of view.

Finally he smiled and said, “I am very grateful that you can help me promote October Mineral Water.

As for how to promote it, you are free to do so. I will not forcefully get involved in this matter. "

"Really? Thank you for understanding, thank you very much."

Li Guanghui's words came from the bottom of his heart.

After all, there was Zhang Yue on one side and his father-in-law on the other.

If I give away mineral water for free, my father-in-law will definitely object.

He was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.

Zhang Yue could understand himself, and he felt much more relaxed instantly.

Zhang Yue asked with a smile: "Don't mention this in advance, it's been a week since the October mineral water was delivered to you. I wonder what customers think of this water?"

Speaking of this, Li Guanghui smiled instantly: "The response from customers has been very good.

It is said that our mineral water is the best tasting among all mineral waters, and the price is the cheapest.

If it wasn't available in supermarkets, they wouldn't buy other brands of mineral water. "

Zhang Yue looked at him: "Really or not? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"How is it possible?" After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Li Guanghui became anxious instantly, "If you don't believe it, you can investigate it yourself.

If what I say is even remotely false, let my snack bar close down. "

Zhang Yue heard this and said quickly: "Don't say that, don't you believe me?

If your snack bar goes out of business, then who will I sell the products of my October Food Factory to? "

The two looked at each other and smiled instantly.

However, if they are happy here, others are not.

Master Zhou Mineral Water Headquarters.

Zhou Wenyuan was listening to his subordinates reporting the situation to him with a solemn expression: "What did you say?

October Food Factory launches its own October mineral water? "

The assistant in front of him nodded: "Yes.

I received this news a month ago.

I thought that the other party was just having a little fight, but I didn't expect that they would tie their own mineral water and delicious snacks together.

As long as the customer makes a purchase, a bottle will be given as a gift, and the effect is beyond imagination.

Since they started selling it, our mineral water sales have dropped by 20%. "

"What? A twenty percent decline?

you sure? "

"of course."

The assistant said, handing a form to him.

Zhou Wenyuan took it and soon his brows furrowed into a "Sichuan" character.

Although Master Zhou’s mineral water cannot compare with Nongfu Spring in the industry, it still firmly occupies the second place in the industry due to its low price.

Don't underestimate this second place. Master Zhou's mineral water now sells tens of millions a day.

In other words, since the mineral water was launched in October, I have lost nearly 2 million a day.

Of course, this two million is sales volume, which is much less when converted into profit.

But this is just the beginning.

And he knew very well how influential the October Food Factory was across the country.

If the other party is allowed to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Taking a deep breath, he asked his assistant: "What do you think we should do about this matter?"

The assistant didn't hesitate at all: "As the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover it up.

The market positioning of October Mineral Water is similar to ours, and we must not allow the other party to grow bigger.

Since the other party is offering free mineral water with the purchase of goods, we will do the same. "

Zhou Wenyuan nodded, he actually had similar thoughts.

Just like October Mineral Water is only a subsidiary company of October Food Factory, Master Zhou Mineral Water is also only one of the subsidiary companies of Master Zhou Food Group.

The core product of Master Zhou Food Group is Master Zhou instant noodles.

So Zhang Yue gets mineral water as a gift when he eats snacks, and he can also buy instant noodles as a gift of mineral water.

As long as you buy five packs at a time, you will get a bottle of mineral water for free.

In fact, Master Zhou has been doing similar activities, such as giving away plastic lunch boxes if you buy five packs of instant noodles.

Now just replace the plastic lunch box with mineral water.

After all, for many customers, they already have one or more plastic lunch boxes, and mineral water should be more attractive to them.

He expressed his thoughts and then asked his assistant: "What do you think?"

The assistant immediately gave a thumbs up: "Great.

I believe that as soon as our event comes out, we will definitely beat the October Food Factory.

Especially the customer side.

The mineral water given to customers of October Food Factory needs to be paid for by themselves.

Although the price is not high, it is still money!

We'll do it for free, and then the other side's customers will get into trouble and we'll see how they end up. "

Zhou Wenyuan smiled and nodded.

He has also set up stalls and opened supermarkets before.

No one knows the thoughts of the food stall owners better than him.

What this group of people like most is to take advantage of others, and they will haggle over every penny.

Zhang Yue collects money from them for organizing activities, but it is completely free for him.

There are bound to be customers who express their dissatisfaction to each other.

And although October Food Factory has achieved nationwide coverage.

But in terms of scale, it still cannot compare with my own Master Zhou Food Group.

As soon as the event came out, Zhang Yue's trick of attracting guests' attention by giving away mineral water became meaningless in an instant.

Just do it, and the next day, Master Zhou launched the event in major supermarkets across the country.

Not only that, customers who went to the supermarket to buy mineral water also found that the price of Master Zhou’s mineral water had also dropped.

All mineral water costs one yuan a bottle.

This immediately caused quite a stir.

In fact, Master Zhou’s mineral water has focused on cost-effectiveness since its launch.

Their mineral water bottles are also made of very thin new plastic.

Many supermarkets in second- and third-tier cities originally sell a bottle for only one yuan.

Only in first-tier cities and provincial capital cities, they sell for one to five yuan or two yuan.

Of course, let’s not talk about tourist attractions.

The price of mineral water in these places is quite confusing. Not to mention two yuan a bottle, it can cost ten yuan a bottle.

Now, including tourist attractions, the price of all Master Zhou mineral water in the country is set at one yuan.

This move caused quite a stir, especially at the top of Mount Tai.

You must know that most of the mineral water at the top of Mount Tai is carried up manually.

Here, if you can buy a bottle for five yuan, it is a huge bargain.

But now it has become one dollar a bottle.

Many Kuaiduo self-media anchors have used it as material to edit into videos.

There were also reposts and comments, and the scene was quite lively.

The matter quickly reached Zhang Yue.
