Chapter 219 Business Situation
Qian Lai also nodded in agreement. Lin Chuyi continued, "I only have two requirements for Craftsmanship Workshop. First, the quality of the finished products made by Craftsmanship Workshop must be the priority. You know, every product produced by Craftsmanship Workshop is engraved with the mark of Craftsmanship Workshop. If there are any cases of rough workmanship, cutting corners, or selling inferior products as good ones, it will be a blow to its reputation. If the reputation is ruined, the business will not last long."
"Secondly, brothers should be clear about their accounts. Jiangxinfang and Lulutong have formed a partnership to deliver goods for customers for free. For customers, free delivery means they make money, but Lulutong has no obligation to deliver goods for Jiangxinfang for free. Jiangxinfang has to pay for Lulutong's vehicle. Even though I am the boss behind these two stores, the accounts have to be clear."
After listening to the two requests raised by Lin Chuyi, Qian Lai thought about it and quickly gave his answer.
"There are three master chefs at the Craftsmanship Workshop who jointly supervise the product quality, so I don't think you need to worry too much about the product quality. However, I also understand the girl's concerns. Tomorrow I will personally go there to emphasize the importance of product quality. After that, I will also go there to check the product quality from time to time to ensure the product quality."
"As for the second point raised by the young lady, there is even less need to worry. From the beginning, I never told Huangshan about the actual relationship between Jiangxinfang and Lulutong. I only said that the owner of Lulutong and I are old acquaintances, and if I go to Lulutong to discuss cooperation, I can get a preferential price. Therefore, for Huangshan, the linkage with Lulutong is just a normal business cooperation, and there will be no situation where money is not paid."
"It's just that Craftsmanship and Lulutong are talking about long-term cooperation and have signed a monthly settlement agreement. That is to say, Craftsmanship will not pay Lulutong for the delivery fee until the end of this month. But don't worry, young lady. Craftsmanship will definitely pay the due delivery fee on time."
Lin Chuyi has always had confidence in Qian Laiye's work ability. Hearing a satisfactory answer from Qian Laiye's mouth made Lin Chuyi's already good mood even better.
She smiled and nodded at Qian Laiye, "Okay, since you already know what's going on, I won't say much. Now let's talk about the situation at Yipin Guo."
"Okay, during the three days of the Yipin Guo opening event, we made a total of 342 taels and 430 coins. After deducting various costs, the net profit was 233 taels and 753 coins."
"On the day of the opening, Chen Shundong, the boss of Chen Ji, brought several of his business friends to come and support Yipin Guo's opening. I treated them to a meal. At the dinner, He Fugui, the boss of He Ji Winery, took a fancy to the fruit wine we sell and wanted to discuss cooperation with us. I made an appointment with him to discuss business alone the day after tomorrow. If the deal is successful, it will also be a stable income."
Lin Chuyi glanced at the figures in the account book and closed it. "This figure is about what I expected. For us in the food business, the most important thing is reputation. I won't mention the food quality and hygiene. I believe you know the answer."
"But I still want to remind you that you must be on guard against others. Even if others don't know how much money Yipin Guo has made, just looking at the large number of customers in our store is enough to make them jealous. Tell the staff to be more careful on weekdays and don't let people with ulterior motives take advantage of you."
Qian Lai also nodded gently, "I understand. The vegetables and fruits used in the store are all grown by our farm. They are picked daily and are very fresh. The meat supply is also from a reputable merchant. We have signed supply contracts for all of them. They will be delivered to your door every morning. If there is any problem with the food delivered, they will be jointly liable. I believe they will not do anything here."
"In terms of hygiene, there are dedicated people in the kitchen who are responsible for washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, washing dishes, chopping stuffing, making fire, and preparing side dishes. There are also two chefs in charge. There are also people in the front hall who are ready to clean up the tables after the guests have eaten. When they are free, they will walk around the venue to collect empty plates and garbage generated during the hot pot process."
"As for the treacherous frame-up you just mentioned, I have also alerted the store employees. In fact, there are indeed a few people who are jealous of the store's business and want to frame us by saying that the food in the store is not clean. There are also people who put reptiles in the dishes. But we have solved it. Miss, don't worry."
"Well, I believe in your ability. As for negotiating business with He Fugui, you can do it yourself. You don't have to ask me about everything. I won't interfere too much in your decision. As long as the result is good, it's fine."
"Yes." Qian Lai also responded respectfully.
Lin Xiangxiang and Qian Lai had both finished their speeches, and now it was Lin Wu's turn.
When Lin Wu saw Lin Chuyi's eyes looking at him, he did not hesitate and started talking after handing over the account book.
"Lulutong currently has five major businesses: letter escort, material escort, silver escort, grain escort, and personal escort. The contract between Lulutong and Jiangxinfang is for material escort. Lulutong's delivery staff will be responsible for the entire delivery of Jiangxinfang's wooden products to ensure that the wooden products are safely delivered to the destination."
"As for what the young lady said before about getting Lulutong to reach a cooperative relationship with Qilixiang and Yipinguo, there is currently no progress. Later, I will meet with Manager Lin and Manager Qian to discuss the specific contents of the distribution agreement in private, and strive to win the long-term cooperation order from Qilixiang and Yipinguo."
"During these three days, Lulutong's main business was to complete the delivery tasks for the Craftsmanship Workshop. The amount of business that belonged to Lulutong itself was very small."
"So far, the deliverymen of Lulutong have carried out a total of 153 delivery tasks, all of which have been successfully completed. Among them, there are 115 orders from the Craftsmanship Workshop, and the remaining 38 orders are all cash orders, with a total income of 23 taels and 8 cents."
"In addition to these completed orders, there are another 162 orders that need to be delivered in the next two days. However, most of these orders come from the Craftsmanship Workshop. In other words, even if we complete these orders, we won't get much money back."
The more Lin Wu spoke, the less confident he felt. The net income of each store was higher than Lulutong's, and not just a little bit higher. It had already formed a situation of multiple kills, which made him very ashamed.
Lin Chuyi noticed that something was wrong with Lin Wu, and said to him in comfort, "It's okay. The logistics industry is a new industry, so it's normal that it's not popular in the early stage. When there are more stations in the future, it will be your time to show your skills. At present, ordinary people don't understand the specific business of Lulutong, and it's normal for them to wait and see. Don't rush it."
"When you have an order, run it well. Leaving a good impression on people is the most important thing. When running an order, remember to let the store's delivery staff familiarize themselves with the route and let them practice martial arts in their free time. The more effort you put in now, the less suffering you will suffer in the future."
