Chapter 2010 was blacklisted in the industry!
Zhou Huan looked at the things displayed in front of him, and just as Lu Fan said, all the certificates and tests were complete.
He was still a little skeptical, thinking that Lu Fan's words and actions seemed very decent, but there is an old saying that goes.
You can’t judge a person by his face, but you can know his heart. So you must always be on guard against him!
Moreover, changing one's attitude so quickly would make one seem too frivolous and credulous.
While Zhou Huan's thoughts were changing, he heard Lu Fan continue to say:
"It's just adding a product to the shelf. Manager Zhou, as the person in charge of this branch, can make the decision."
There is absolutely no need to alert the head office and wait for a reply. Otherwise, if the head office is consulted at every turn, are the senior directors so idle that they need to hold a meeting to discuss whether to launch a product in China?
That is obviously impossible.
Especially for a large supermarket like Guangyuan, which sells hundreds of thousands of products every month, how could everything need to be reviewed by the headquarters?
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Lu Fan's sharp eyes, Zhou Huan had no choice but to tell the truth:
"Hey, Mr. Lu, at this juncture, we at Guangyuan dare not risk the world's disapproval."
Zhang Hong also made a few remarks on behalf of his general manager:
"Yes, Mr. Lu, it's not that we are unwilling to lend a hand. After all, it is a mutually beneficial thing for both you and us."
"It's really because your brand of Lu's soy sauce not only has some problems with its reputation, but it has also been blacklisted in the industry."
Lu Qiuyi originally wanted to distinguish Zhou Huan's words, but Lu Fan quickly caught the message that Zhang Hong inadvertently revealed:
"Wait, you said our Lu brand has been blacklisted in the industry?" Lu Qiuyi took a deep breath:
"I'm sorry, I think I need to interrupt our negotiation process."
"We have a few questions, and we hope that Mr. Zhou and Assistant Zhang can help clarify them."
When Zhou Huan heard what Zhang Hong said, his head started buzzing and he felt dizzy.
He glanced at Zhang Hong and cursed in his heart that this kid was really troublesome. How could he bring up such a thing so bluntly in front of the person involved?
But now that I've said it, I can't swallow it back. Do you think we're all deaf and amnesiac?
Just now, Zhang Hong was the one who cleaned up the mess for Zhou Huan, but now the situation is reversed and Zhou Huan has to clean up the mess for both of them!
Lu Fan glanced at the two of them and his tone became serious:
"I don't see the sincerity of the Guangyuan Supermarket Branch you two represent. I think if you two have nothing to explain, we can terminate our cooperation."
It’s just a lease, just a large supermarket chain.
It didn't matter to Lu Fan. He just wanted to acquire a soy sauce factory and find a way to support himself.
If you really piss him off, you can just make a big move and the working capital will be in your account immediately. Are you still afraid that you can't survive Shengjing's secret tricks?
Lu Fan's words were already quite serious.
Zhou Huan and Zhang Hong knew that they could no longer play dumb.
Otherwise, before the head office does anything, they will both be out of work. So Zhou Huan smiled awkwardly and gestured to Lu Qiuyi or Lu Fan:
"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will answer all your questions."
The general manager was so spineless and fell to the ground so quickly that it also infected Zhang Hong:
"Yes, yes, we have no grudges against your company in the past or in the present. We are ready to cooperate, so how can we hide anything? No way!"
The two expressed their opinions one after another. After Lu Fan examined them, he nodded symbolically to Lu Qiuyu.
Lu Qiuyi was also able to grasp the key points of the negotiation and immediately asked:
“I don’t know where this blacklist came from, and what hidden rules are there?
"And what industry is this, what industry is it, and which company is the initiator?
She asked this, but in fact she had the same opinion as Lu Fan in her heart, and she knew who the "culprit" was.
The only company that can and dares to do this to the Lu brand is none other than Shengjing Company.
How can other small manufacturers have the scale of Shengjing Company?
Before this, Lu Qiuyu had not had as much contact with Shengjing Company as other people in the factory.
I just know that the other party's behavior and speech are very unpleasant.
Unlike a large multinational corporation, it acts impulsively and bandit-like, totally lacking the style and standards of a leading enterprise.
Zhou Huan saw Lu Fan's tough tone and knew that if he didn't reveal something, there would be no reason for the other party to renew the contract with them.
No matter how difficult it is, I have to tell the truth:
“Mr. Lu, in fact, all of us retailers have received a notice.
“The other party asked us to stop cooperating with these factory brands with “black materials”.
"At that time, we had heard about various problems with several of these companies' products, so we didn't think the list was biased and agreed to it." Lu Fan and Lu Qiuyu looked at each other and understood.
I never knew that a large company like Shengjing would target small manufacturers and small brands.
It turns out that it's not that there aren't any manufacturers, but that no manufacturer is as stubborn as Lu Fan and can withstand the serial traps of Shengjing Company's public relations department.
