On credit.
This was a sudden thought that crossed Duan Qiong's mind.
Originally, she came here because she thought that Zhang Mu was working here and was also the supervisor. She wanted to see if she could send the goods to Red Flag Supermarket through Zhang Mu's connections.
Even if they couldn't send it in through Zhang Mu, with an acquaintance in the supermarket, they could at least find out how much the other stores paid for the drinks.
This way, they could make a response based on how much the other families were paying. After knowing the amount, they would calculate how much money they needed to accumulate and see if they could gather enough money.
Their factory did not have money now, but they believed that as long as they could get through to Red Flag, they could still get some money from other places.
The reason why her father, Duan Shijie, didn't borrow money first was because he wasn't confident and didn't know how much he needed.
If they borrowed money, but Red Flag couldn't deliver the goods, wouldn't they lose interest for nothing?
But if Zhang Mu was the chairman…
Could he owe the money first and pay it later when he sold the goods and earned money?
Just as Duan Qiong was thinking about how to speak, Zhang Mu said,"
"How about this? I'll arrange for someone to arrange half a shelf for your drinks. It's specially used to store your orange water. Yes, it's located next to Pepsi and Coca-Cola.”
"Really?"
Hearing Zhang Mu's words, Duan Qiong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He immediately stood up and asked,"
"Zhang... Zhang Mu, are you telling the truth? Not only did you give us half a container, but you also gave us a place next to Coca-Cola and Pepsi?”
"Of course it's true. Is there a problem?”Zhang Mu asked.
"No, no, this is very good, very good.”
Duan Qiong quickly shook his head, but the smile on his face froze for a moment. He said awkwardly,"
"That... I know it's a little rude to say this, but our factory is indeed limited in funds now. Can we pay the fee later?”
Duan Qiong was a man of principle. The initial purpose of his visit was to ask Zhang Mu for help. Now that he knew that Zhang Mu was the chairman and the supermarket belonged to him, he didn't want to take advantage of him.
After all, they were also doing business. If they placed the drinks from other stores in the same container, they would be able to earn a sum of money first, not to mention how much they would sell. Why would they not charge you for your products? Wouldn't it be better for me to leave it to others and collect a fee while selling the goods?
She did want to save some money, but she couldn't save money at the expense of Zhang Mu's loss. They had only met a few times, and their relationship hadn't reached that stage yet.
As for the relationship between a teacher and a student, there was no need to mention it. She had never taught Zhang Mu before, so what kind of relationship was there to speak of?
Although Zhang Mu had already agreed, Duan Qiong still had to take the initiative to mention the fee. However, he did feel a little awkward.
Regardless of whether Zhang Mu was doing it out of the teacher-student relationship or just helping her out, he simply agreed to let her drink.
But now, they couldn't afford it. How could they not feel awkward?
"Fei? Forget it, he wasn't an outsider.”
Zhang Mu had thought something was wrong when he saw Duan Qiong's expression. He did not expect it to be such a small matter like the distribution fee.
The reason why the supermarket channel fee appeared and even became popular 20 years later was that after the foreign supermarkets entered the Chinese market, they wanted to make more money.
Not only did they have to earn money from the consumers, but they also had to extort profits from the suppliers.
It could be said that other than those big brands that had already entered the hearts of consumers, all brands that wanted to enter their supermarkets had to pay a channel fee!
After all, the competition in every industry was great. If you didn't give it to them, many people in the same industry would be willing to give it to them. What could you do?
Zhang Mu also wanted to make money by opening a supermarket, but he wouldn't focus on this little bit of money. He definitely wouldn't ignore other products just because a certain company gave him more channel fees.
Most of the time, they still felt that their products were good, so they chose to go to the supermarket.
this is no way
Outsiders might not know, but many of the suppliers of Red Flag Supermarket knew. Some of them paid less than some of their peers, but Red Flag Supermarket still chose to let them supply.
After all, quality and cost-performance ratio were the most important. The problem of channel fees was usually left to the suppliers to see their own intentions. It was fine to pay more or less. Some of them really couldn't afford to pay. Their goods were also in Red Flag Supermarket.
Although this broke the unspoken rules of the market, the rules were customized by the strong. In Zhang Mu's heart, Walmart and Carrefour were very strong, but they were not enough to make him afraid.
They couldn't say for sure in the international market, but in China, Red Flag Supermarket had greater potential than them. Why should they follow their custom rules?
"No charge?"
Duan Qiong was a little dumbfounded. When she said " credit," she had made up her mind. After all, this kind of thing was really too embarrassing. However, she did not expect Zhang Mu to exempt her family's channel fee.
Zhang Mu knew what was going on, and so did some of the suppliers, but Duan Qiong didn't!
She only heard that when Red Flag Supermarket opened, Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola both gave millions of bottles of drinks, which meant that each family had to pay more than a million yuan!
Their container would be placed next to these two, so the price would definitely not be cheap. Even if it was only half a container, a conservative estimate would be 200,000 to 300,000!
But now, Zhang Mu just said a word and directly exempted her?
Duan Qiong suddenly thought of something and blurted out,"
"Zhang Mu, are you trying to hit on me?”
Duan Qiong immediately regretted his words. Not only was he too direct, but he should never have said such words given their identities.
It would be better if he used the word 'court'. However, Duan Qiong had rented a lot of movies in Xiangjiang recently, so he couldn't help but use the word' flirting 'when he heard the word' hitting on girls'.
What was even more awkward was that they were not actually in a teacher-student relationship. They were not in school now, but in Zhang Mu's office. The other party was the company's CEO, and she was here to ask him for help!
After saying that, Duan Qiong's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few seconds, his cheeks turned pink.
Zhang Mu had never seen Duan Qiong with such an expression before, and he found it very interesting. He stared at Duan Qiong for a few seconds until she felt uncomfortable. Then, he joked,"
"Teacher Duan, what are you thinking? You wouldn't do this even in your dreams.”
