Chapter 424: 420. Don't Blame Me for Not Leaving You a Way Out!

In fact, many people currently see that Maikai Supermarket does not have much of a winning chance; although it is said that Maikai Supermarket has been suppressing Fengchao Supermarket, it is only relying on a single breath, and once this breath is released, it is truly hard to say who wins and who loses.

"Apologies, Mr. Zhang, I only want to do business; I do not want to get involved in your struggle," one person said as he stood up.

After saying this, he stood up directly and left; once the first person stood up, there was a second, then a third.

It was not until about a dozen people had left that it finally quieted down.

Zhang Ran looked at the people remaining and said with a smile, "Since everyone has chosen to stay, I assume you also have the intention to cooperate with us, so let me talk about how we should cooperate moving forward."

"Times are developing, technology is advancing, and many existing sales methods also need improvement," Zhang Ran said, starting with a platitude.

Only then did he say, "Therefore, this time our Maikai Supermarket is also breaking through itself and has chosen to cooperate with Fengli Group."

Starting from October 1st, Fengli Group will open a separate shopping platform for Maikai Supermarket on its existing website.

On this platform, all the items sold by Maikai Supermarket will be available; I believe this model is not unfamiliar to everyone, it is just that no supermarket retail has chosen to do this yet."

Zhang Ran's words, however, piqued the interest of quite a few people.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask how this will specifically operate? According to what you said, this actually doesn't have much to do with us; we are still the original suppliers and haven't directly participated at all," Li Da asked directly.

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "Of course it is different; there is a link for you in this as well. If you have your own warehouses, then some orders will be dispatched directly to your factories at that time. The platform will collect some operating fees and profits, which will certainly be cheaper compared to being on supermarket shelves."

"Mr. Zhang, excuse me, let me interrupt again. We know this model; in fact, we have each experimented with it, but the results were not very good," someone said. This model is not fresh; to put it plainly, it is actually factory-direct sales. Although there is still one process in the middle, it is not a new thing.

"That is because you do not have sufficient logistics and warehousing centers, and the range you can radiate is very small.

But we are different. This time it is not just Fengli Group; now Dahe Express has been merged into Fengli Group, and Dahe Express has also completed the layout of its warehousing centers.

Now, not to say that every place has one, but most densely populated areas have Dahe Express warehousing centers."

"Furthermore, we also have Maikai Supermarket, which is actually also a warehousing center. This will save many people trouble; as long as someone places an order online, it won't take a day—it will only take an hour or two, and someone will deliver what they want to their home.

The only increase is one or two yuan in delivery fees; this amount of money is nothing to many young people who like online shopping nowadays."

Zhang Ran introduced the new operating plan in detail; this was the big move he had prepared.

Combining supermarkets, online shopping, and logistics, Zhang Ran believed it would definitely have an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

In fact, there are many young people now who do not want to go to the supermarket to buy things, especially when they are not buying much; they simply do not want to go downstairs and do not want to browse the supermarket.

Now they do not need to have this worry. Just like online, they can shop directly online, and the speed is very fast; as long as there is a Maikai Supermarket at their doorstep, it will arrive in at most an hour or two, or ten-odd minutes if it is fast.

This might even make some people whose doorstep is originally Fengchao Supermarket or other supermarkets choose to place orders online.

This is also much simpler and faster than other online shopping. Once a problem is discovered, it can be exchanged immediately; there is no need to wait, and even less need to waste time.

I believe there are many people who have bought things online that did not meet their wishes, but once they thought about the long time it would take to exchange them, they were too lazy to bother and just made do with them.

But now, there is no need for that.

Once this model succeeds, then the expansion of Maikai Supermarket in the future will be much simpler.

Fengli Group will also gain a large number of new users, and the activity level of the users will certainly not be low.

Just think, since they have already finished browsing the supermarket and are still on the platform, they might as well look at other things; this is the mindset of most people.

This way, customers can be retained, and the benefits to Fengli Group will certainly be great.

Zhang Ran spoke for about an hour or so, answering the questions of some people one by one.

Just at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, is this kind of cooperation secure? What is the turnaround time for payment?"

Zhang Ran suddenly smiled, "This gentleman, you may have forgotten that I also have shares in Fengli Group."

Zhang Ran spoke tactfully, but those who knew understood Zhang Ran's meaning: Fengli Group is also Zhang Ran's, so you tell me if it is secure?

"As for the issue of payment turnaround, you can rest assured about this; the platform's payment will only be held for three months, which is faster than here at Maikai Supermarket."

Hearing this, many people were tempted. The issue of payment has actually always been the top priority for suppliers; now that the time is only three months, it is already very short.

Moreover, they will get more profit in this aspect at that time.

"Our Li Da Group joins," Li Da stated directly.

"Our Guoyuan also joins!" Guocheng followed up and said.

The two major groups announced their participation directly, which settled the minds of some who were still worried.

At this moment, Zhang Ran suddenly said, "I welcome everyone to join. This project will officially go online on October 1st; everyone please take note of that time."

After finishing, Zhang Ran said faintly, "Although there is only a little over a day left, I do not want this news to be known by the Fengchao side in advance; I hope everyone can keep it a secret.

I also know that there are actually quite a few people whose hearts are still leaning towards Fengchao Supermarket, or who were simply arranged by the Fengchao Supermarket side to inquire about news.

But I am telling you now, there is no wall that does not let the wind through. Although knowing two days in advance will not affect the overall situation, I do not want to cause some twists and turns because of this small matter; I am a person who is very afraid of trouble, does everyone understand?"

Zhang Ran's words counted as a threat. "There is no wall that does not let the wind through"—isn't he saying that if Fengchao Supermarket finds out, he will investigate clearly who leaked it?

"Some people might think that I, Zhang Ran, am too overbearing and difficult to get along with; you might be right about that, but I, Zhang Ran, can bring you benefits. Since you have chosen to take the benefits, then do not be a fence-sitter, especially at this time, otherwise do not blame me, Zhang Ran, for not leaving you a way out in the end."
