Chapter 335: Alertness and Cold Sweat
Chapter 335: Alert and cold sweat
"Chen Shaocong, huh?" When she read this name, grandma was slightly stunned for a moment, then opened the mahogany box and looked at the thick ginseng inside. She didn't know what to say. She recognized the ginseng, but she didn't know how to distinguish the good or bad.
"Um." Seeing the disgusting look on grandma's face, Shi Yi chuckled, grabbed a ginseng beard from the ginseng, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and smiled: "Old ginseng that has been more than fifty years old is a rare thing."
"What? Ayi, you have studied traditional Chinese medicine?" Grandpa was a little surprised.
"There is a Chinese medicine hospital in the school. When you have nothing to do, you can go and listen. There are also records of traditional Chinese medicine materials in the library." Shi Yi responded with a smile, and then wrote down the words Chen Shaocong and Laoshan Ginseng in the notebook.
"Luo Dingzhong, isn't this the mayor of Wenzhou?" Grandma murmured, opened the thick red envelope, and took out a few folded white papers from it, a little surprised: "This mayor is too stingy, right? Let's give a few white papers to the point?"
"Let me take a look." While lowering his head to settle the amount of the registered red envelope, Shi Yi looked up in surprise and looked at the few white papers that had been taken out of his grandmother's hand. He took them and opened them. Then he felt a little amused: "National Congress deputy? CPPCC member? Well, is this... an application for joining the party?"
"Is it useful?" I often hear the words "National Congress Representative" on TV, but my grandparents couldn't understand the story. After seeing Shi Yi's reaction, my grandfather asked.
"Well, it's quite useful." Shi Yi nodded with a smile, and grandma didn't care about it. She continued to open a red envelope, and then another piece of white paper poured out...
"Lu Yongming? Why is it another piece of white paper!" Grandma was a little confused.
He took the white paper from Lu Yongming from his grandmother. After opening it, Shi Yi's brows tightened, and then he remained silent without saying a word, quietly looking at the words recorded on the white paper.
"I'll write it." After discovering Shi Yi's reaction, my grandfather did not interrupt Shi Yi's thoughts, but took the notebook and pen in front of Shi Yi and continued to register and make the book with his grandmother.
Sixty percent of Anhua Supermarket’s supply is related to these dozens of groups, or it is directly purchased from subsidiaries and holding companies of these groups. In other aspects, many of Anhua Group’s subsidiaries have extensive cooperation with more than ten of these dozens of groups…
What does this mean? Shi Yi was very clear in his heart that the supply channel of Anhua Supermarket is very important, and several subsidiaries of the group have cooperated with some of these groups. But the problem is that these dozens of group companies listed on the list are secular institutions of the martial arts sect family!
These are just surface information obtained through the Fire Refining Sect. God knows how many forces the martial arts world and those sects still control in secret?
As soon as he saw the data that Lu Yongming had trouble sorting out, Shi Yi's hair suddenly stood up, and an inexplicable sense of crisis instantly hit his heart, no!
After a huh, he stood up from the sofa. After his face changed repeatedly, Shi Yi sat back in awkwardly in his grandparents' surprised eyes. He wanted to rush to the group to discuss the solution to this matter, but after standing up, he realized that it was almost twelve o'clock now. Apart from the few bull demons in charge of guarding in the group headquarters, there were only some ordinary security guards left to discuss with them. Unless Shi Yi's head was kicked by the donkey.
"Ayi, what's wrong?" It was not until Shi Yi folded the paper back and put it in his pocket that his grandfather seemed to ask casually: "Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing big." Shi Yi quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa, grandma, there are three boxes here. I'm afraid I can't finish it tonight, so why don't you do this tonight? Let's continue when you wake up tomorrow?"
"Well, that's fine." Grandpa nodded thoughtfully.
One night, Shi Yi didn't even close his eyes, nor did he go to meditate and practice. Instead, he leaned on the bed, pillowed on the pillow, thinking about the solution to this matter. With a supply ratio of 60%, Shi Yi felt a little secretly grateful. Fortunately, he notified the bull demon in Shaanxi in advance and asked the people from the Fire Refining Sect to sort out such a list. If there was no such list, he would be passively beaten again.
For a supermarket chain, what does 60% purchase channels mean? It means that once the supplier stops supplying, the supermarket has no time to prepare for the remaining supply channels, and then the goods are exhausted and the supermarket closes...
What is the difference between this and being strangled by someone's lifeline? Although the main profit point of Anhua Group is no longer Anhua Supermarket, Shi Yi knew very well in his heart that in two years, the domestic retail industry will make rapid progress again, and Anhua Supermarket will usher in a new round of expansion and takeoff. However, although Anhua is the dominant domestic market, it is not without competitors. Once the supply of goods is lost, not to mention the reaction of the franchisees. Just the loss of customers and the decline in loyalty will be a nearly fatal blow to Anhua Supermarket!
Thinking about the consequences, Shi Yi was sweating in his heart, thinking, and waiting for the sun to rise...
The end of each month is the time for Anhua Group to liquidate last month's performance, and these days are also the busiest time for the employees of Anhua Group's headquarters. At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the employees began to be busy in a nervous and orderly manner. Shi Yi also arrived at his office early for the first time. Lu Yongming, Li Weibo, Chen Keli, who had already received a call from Shi Yi, and Terry Gou, who had just finished his work from a foreign country a few days ago, were already waiting in Shi Yi's office.
"Mr. Shi, are you so anxious to call us together?" Lu Yongming drank a little last night, but his head was still drowsy. As soon as he saw Shi Yi pushing the door in, he immediately started asking.
Li Weibo and the other two also looked up at Shi Yi, waiting for Shi Yi to speak.
"Call you here, there are some things to discuss with you." Shi Yi looked at the four people sitting on the sofa, raised his legs and walked towards the sofa, took out the data list counted by Lu Yongming from his pocket, and placed it on the coffee table: "Just this one, you take a turn to see it."
"Is this?" Guo Taiming first reached out and took the data sheet, glanced at it and handed it over to Chen Keli, who was sitting beside him. He was mainly responsible for Anhua Precision, but he didn't know much about Anhua Department Store and other subsidiaries that had records on this data sheet. After all, human energy is limited.
Chen Keli's subordinates are in charge of the marketing department and the purchasing department. She is quite familiar with the data on this order. After checking it carefully, she looked up at Shi Yi: "There is no problem with the data. Ayi, you called us so early this morning and showed us this, right?"
"Can't you see the crisis hidden here?" Shi Yi said this, and directly scared the sleepy Li Weibo and Lu Yongming to the point of being shocked. They looked at Shi Yi in unison and blurted out, "What crisis?"
"Sixty percent of the supply of goods is held in the hands of these dozen groups. Don't you think this is bad or very bad?" Shi Yi rubbed his temples: "If you refuse to supply all of them, have you ever thought about how much trouble this would be? In addition, we have several subsidiaries and these groups have cooperative relationships in specific fields..."
"Ayi, you drank too much last night and haven't recovered yet, right?" Before Shi Yi finished speaking, Chen Keli spoke in a daze: "The cooperative relationship we have established with these groups for a long time. Both parties have contracts to protect the rights and interests of both parties. It is basically impossible to breach the contract, because it is not worth the loss. What you call refusal to supply is even more nonsense. There are more than 20 major suppliers of Anhua Supermarket. Even if one or two refuse to supply, there will not be too many problems. Instead, the other party wants to pay us a penalty for liquidated damages!"
Speaking of this, Chen Keli paused slightly, cleared her throat and continued: "There are some omissions on this data list. For example, Shandong Fushuo Group has a supply and demand relationship with Anhua Precision. Nearly one-quarter of the raw materials needed by Anhua Precision are purchased from this Fushuo Group. Since the previous Hon Hai Group, it has maintained a cooperative relationship for nearly five years and has never had any mistakes."
"This Fushuo Group mainly provides various metal raw materials for precision." Guo Taiming said: "It has been five years and nearly six years of cooperation. There have only been a few minor problems with raw materials due to omissions. Overall, Fushuo Group is still quite trustworthy."
"Also." After Terry Gou finished speaking, Chen Keli continued to criticize Shi Yi and said, "The newly established Anhua Daily, Anhua Shoe Industry, and Anhua Agriculture are all more or less involved in the existence of these dozens of subsidiaries under the group. If you are really worried about it like you, our group will not need to be opened anymore. Let's go home and be a landlord!"
"So serious." Shi Yi did not take Chen Keli's words to heart, but instead raised his eyebrows: "To put it another way, if these groups suddenly unite to deal with our Anwar, what do you think should be dealt with and how do you solve it?"
"Swish..." Chen Keli didn't know whether to laugh or smile bitterly, and rolled her eyes: "It's impossible to happen. I have to think about the solution here with a headache and a fever. Ayi, if you are really too idle all day long, let Lao Lu let you deal with the big things at hand, so that you can save you from having trouble here."
Chen Keli was really angry. She had to put these words in her usual state, and she would not say no matter how angry she was. However, she was sleeping soundly this morning, and was woken up by Shi Yi's phone call. Unexpectedly, she came with tiredness and was discussing such a fantasy thing. She was so angry!
"Maybe you should know something." Looking at the faces of the four people, Shi Yi thought for a while before pondering: "The reason why I asked Lao Lu to sort out this data list is because I have already obtained some news that these dozens of famous groups on the list are all industries in the same circle of forces..."
Speaking of this, Shi Yi was inevitably helpless and shrugged his shoulders and said, "It just so happened that the circle of power behind these dozens of groups had a considerable conflict with me a few days ago..."
"..." Lu Yongming and the other four were stunned. The circle of forces? Conflict? Dozens of groups! Ninety percent of the dozens of groups have certain relationships with Anhua Group! If it is true as Shi Yi said...
Sweat was the first to seep out of Lu Yongming's forehead. The deeper he thought about it, the more worried he was. The more he thought about it, the colder he became!
"If the conflict is not big, they should not be impulsive. After all, once they do this, the liquidated damages they have to pay are also huge..." Chen Keli couldn't help but show seriousness and said hesitantly.
"I'm not hiding it to you." Shi Yi took a breath: "Three bodyguards below me died, hundreds of them died, and many of them were considered big names in that circle of power."
"..." Even the bitter smile on his face condensed in this moment. Hundreds of casualties were killed. Not to mention why the Criminal Bureau did not drag Shi Yi away. Just this number is simply a bloody hatred!
"Dudududu..." Chen Keli didn't say anything, stood up from the sofa, almost sprinting to the desk, grabbed the phone, pressed the number, and after the phone was answered, Chen Keli said without thinking: "Immediately organize the archives of all the group companies that are in cooperation with us and supply and demand, and send them to Director Shi's office, hurry up!"
"Dr. Shi, you are really a big deal." Guo Taiming was speechless. The resentful eyes of the four of them made Shi Yi very embarrassed. However, since he already knew about this, complaining was useless. When he started the action that night, Shi Yi was only thinking about the problem of fists, but he never thought about the secular power standing behind these martial arts sects and the great families of aristocratic families.
Fortunately, the reaction was timely and discovered early. If you really wait until the other party makes a fuss before reacting, to put it bluntly, Anhua Group is not as capable of dealing with the joint suppression of so many groups. Bankruptcy and debt seem to have become the only way.
