Chapter 1473

Wang Hui left with high spirits; once the Spring Festival was over, negotiations would begin. Time was too tight, and she had to hand over her supermarket duties today so she could start preparing tomorrow.

Next, Tang Bei called the Deputy General Manager, Cai Yunfeng, and asked him to come to the office.

Cai Yunfeng arrived quickly; he had once been Wang Hui's superior, the manager of the Jinghua Procurement Department.

Because he had been pushed out and was very unhappy there, Tang Lin had poached him, and he had brought the procurement channels he controlled along with him.

It could be said that Cai Yunfeng was a veteran of Grand Mart; if not for the channels in his hands, Grand Mart's opening would not have been so smooth.

"Tang Zong!" Cai Yunfeng greeted her: "What's the matter?"

"Sit down and talk." Tang Bei poured another glass of water for Cai Yunfeng.

Cai Yunfeng took the glass and sat down on the sofa.

Tang Bei briefly explained the acquisition of Jinghua and the establishment of Jinghua Appliances.

Cai Yunfeng was the Deputy General Manager, so she had to keep him informed about this matter.

"How is the site selection for Grand Mart in the southern cities progressing?"

Cai Yunfeng said: "Except for Shenzhen, all other places have entered the negotiation stage. Although the local governments are very cooperative, after all, we are not renting but buying, so it definitely takes time to negotiate."

"We can make concessions on the price."

Tang Bei leaned back against the sofa, crossing her legs, her slender fingers tapping rhythmically on her taut, elastic thigh.

"If it doesn't work, you go there yourself. The negotiations must be completed before the end of April, and we must open no later than August."

"Understood!" Cai Yunfeng nodded: "I will stay there temporarily until then, and I will come back after the opening."

"That's fine!" Tang Bei asked: "What's going on in Shenzhen?"

"We encountered a competitor," Cai Yunfeng said: "It's a department store called Baijia Department Store. Their current address is at Friendship City on Renmin South Road.

I don't know why they want to move to Huaqiangbei, so we collided. After all, they are a local enterprise with deep roots. If we want to take down that commercial building, we can only use money to smash it."

Tang Bei frowned: "What is the situation in Huaqiangbei now? Is that the only building suitable for opening a supermarket?"

"It really is," Cai Yunfeng said: "Huaqiangbei is particularly deserted now. There are factory buildings everywhere, the weeds on both sides of the road are almost as tall as a person, and there are no people on the streets.

But after research and judgment by the site selection team, Huaqiangbei has great potential in the future. So we chose that building; it has more than 4,000 square meters and an excellent location."

Tang Bei asked: "Besides future potential and location, what other advantages are there?"

"Price!" Cai Yunfeng said: "Our people have traveled all over Shenzhen. In some prosperous areas, the price of commercial real estate is even higher than in Guangzhou."

"After all, it is the frontier of reform and opening up," Tang Bei nodded: "Are there no other suitable places in Huaqiangbei?"

"There are, but they are all under construction," Cai Yunfeng said helplessly: "The fastest one won't be delivered until the middle of next year, and we can't afford to wait.

However, there is another building 700 or 800 meters away from the current one. The area is larger than this one, with more than 5,000 square meters, totaling four floors.

It was built by an investor from Hong Kong. I don't know why, but the Hong Kong businessman withdrew his capital before the building was finished. But the main structure has been completed, just missing the exterior facade and windows, and there is also a piece of commercial land of more than 6,000 square meters left idle.

It is said that the Hong Kong businessman is in a hurry to sell, and since it is not finished, plus that piece of land, it is estimated that it can be taken down for 5 or 6 million. But the location is at the end of the street, and the road behind it has not been repaired."

"If we choose this building and let Baijia have the one we currently selected, once it opens, our customer flow will definitely be intercepted by Baijia."

Tang Bei pondered and asked: "How much money is needed for that building now?"

Cai Yunfeng said: "Baijia has already raised the price to 27 million. It looks like they are determined to win. If we want to take it down, we need 35 to 40 million.

If it's at this price, we might as well buy a smaller commercial building in a prosperous area."

Tang Bei said without hesitation: "Notify the Shenzhen site selection team to immediately let them contact that Hong Kong businessman and buy that building."

Cai Yunfeng hesitated and said: "Are we really going to buy it?"

Tang Bei smiled: "Are you still afraid that we can't compete with that Baijia?"

Cai Yunfeng's spirit suddenly rose: "How is that possible? Our Grand Mart, whether it is management or service, including products and prices, whether it is Baijia or Qianjia, we can beat it until it looks for its teeth all over the floor."

There was one more thing he didn't say, and that was money. Behind Grand Mart are the Yugong Group and Qiu Dongfang. If they really start burning money to grab customers, there is really no private enterprise in the country at this time that can fight them.

After Cai Yunfeng arrived at Grand Mart, the power in his hands increased greatly. Whether it was Zhou Andong or Tang Bei, they completely let go to him. This trust made him always grateful.

Just last month, he was promoted to Deputy General Manager of Grand Mart. It is said that there will be incentive shares in the future, which made him even more high-spirited.

Cai Yunfeng left Tang Bei's office. He planned to leave on the third day of the Lunar New Year, go to Shenzhen first, and take down that building. After all, it was not finished yet, and if they wanted to open in August, the follow-up work had to be tightened.

In addition, there is that piece of commercial land of more than 6,000 square meters, which can just be used to build warehouses and cold storage, and also set up a parking lot and leisure area.

Tang Bei looked at the time, got up and left the office, went downstairs to the supermarket.

From a distance, she saw the Logistics Department Manager, Wang Wanquan, walking over: "Tang Zong, I was just about to look for you."

Tang Bei asked: "What's wrong?"

"Vegetables!" Wang Wanquan said: "The dozens of tons of vegetables delivered in the early morning are about to be sold out."

"So fast?" Tang Bei was stunned for a moment. She knew the price, and it was not lower than 10 yuan per jin.

"Indeed!" Wang Wanquan gave a wry smile: "Because of grabbing vegetables, there have been several fights. Now more than a dozen security guards have been added."

Tang Bei asked: "Didn't you notify the Procurement Department to contact Jiangzhou?"

"Notified," Wang Wanquan said: "They replied that the first batch of transport vehicles has already set off, and there will be a second batch in the early morning, which can guarantee the vegetable sales supply of Grand Mart before the New Year, but there is none in the afternoon. What should we do?"

Tang Bei said helplessly: "If there is none in the afternoon, there is nothing I can do."

"Sigh, I really was a sick person looking for a doctor," Wang Wanquan sighed: "I have to go back and keep an eye on it, don't let them fight again and have something happen."

"I'll go with you to take a look," Tang Bei said, and followed him.

The vegetable area was on the first floor, next to the seafood products, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, all people.

"Aunt Zhang, pack two jin of green beans for me too."

"Brother Gao, you are inside, get me a handful of garlic sprouts."

"Sister Liu, pack two cucumbers for me, and two eggplants."

"..."

Shouts, calls, and even curses were mixed together, a chaotic mess.

If there were no security guards to maintain order, a full-scale martial arts fight would definitely be staged.

It is really because in this day and age, in the middle of winter, and during the Spring Festival, it is too rare to be able to eat fresh vegetables.

Although expensive, it can't withstand the large number of people. A family spends 20 or 30 yuan, and they can still afford it.
