Chapter 341 Familiarity
I met Chen Sheng.
He hasn't contacted me since.
A month later, I finally received his call. I suppose he had made preparations, even though I wasn't optimistic about his project.
office.
"Let me introduce you, Young Master Feng, the son of the general manager of the provincial supply and marketing cooperative."
Feng Wendong.
"Hello there."
"Mr. Shen, I've long admired your name. Your legendary journey is well-known to me."
My handshake with Feng Wendong was brief.
This man was very well-mannered, dressed in a well-fitting, moderately priced suit, with his hair neatly combed and his fingernails trimmed.
In fact, observing a man is nothing more than looking at his clothes, hair, and fingernails.
Based on these three points alone, I am very satisfied with the young man in front of me.
After sitting down, Feng Wendong didn't put on airs at all. Instead, he offered each person a cigarette, which showed his attitude that everyone was equal and that they were there to discuss business.
"I heard from General Manager Chen that he has already told General Manager Shen everything about the supply and marketing cooperative project. What does General Manager Shen think?"
"That's good. I wonder when Young Master Feng plans to start?"
"The procedures at the provincial company have been completed. Next, we'll have branch offices in various cities and prefectures act as agents, and then each city and prefecture will open up agency opportunities to counties, districts, and townships."
"In that case, Mr. Chen, you can proceed as normal."
Chen Sheng brought the brewed tea to me.
I saw Chen Sheng refill Feng Wendong's teacup, and Feng Wendong frowned slightly as he drank the tea.
He chuckled to himself; it seemed he also thought the tea was unpalatable.
"I've heard that General Manager Chen and General Manager Shen have a very good relationship, so I have a new idea. I wonder if General Manager Shen would be willing to listen to it?"
"Mr. Chen's friends are my friends, so please feel free to speak."
Feng Wendong's eloquence is also quite exceptional.
"We run a supply and marketing cooperative, which is basically a small shop in towns and villages, and a community supermarket in cities. To put it bluntly, our project is about building a supply chain and generating cash flow, which we then use to raise funds."
A thought flashed through my mind: this tactic seems familiar.
"Young Master Feng, your supply and marketing cooperatives haven't even established a solid foundation yet, and you're already thinking about the supply chain? Isn't that a bit premature?"
"Not early, not early. Mr. Shen, you never fight a battle unprepared, do you?"
I nodded.
"Mr. Chen, how far have you and Young Master Feng progressed in your collaboration?"
"The agent in Liancheng City has already signed the agreement and is just waiting for payment."
Have you contacted your downline agents?
"We've made contact, and we've also found candidates for agents in the four counties and two districts."
"The progress is quite fast."
"Hehe, as long as the supply and marketing cooperative group is backing us, no one is afraid of being ripped off."
"Could you show me the company's qualifications?"
The Southern Province Supply and Marketing Cooperative holds 100% ownership of the Southern Province Supply and Marketing Cooperative Group.
The Southern Province Supply and Marketing Cooperative Group holds a 38% controlling stake in Southern Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd.
"The Southern Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. now belongs to Young Master Feng."
Three sheets of paper, a Qichacha search report, perfectly show the relationship between Nansheng Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. and Nansheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Many people believe that since Company A's shareholder is Company B, and Company B's shareholder is a public institution or state-owned enterprise, Company A must have a government or state-owned enterprise background. However, this is incorrect; Company A is simply using this as a pretext.
Even more outrageous, Company A's shareholder is B, Company B's shareholder is C, and Company C's shareholder is a state-owned enterprise or government agency. Then Company A promotes itself as having a powerful background and encourages people to invest money to join.
In reality, they are all scammers.
Clearly, Chen Sheng did not understand this model.
Some companies do have connections and are using this gray area, blurring the lines and using the guise of state-owned enterprises to lure people into joining or becoming agents.
"Government background, Mr. Shen, you see, they are controlled by the South Province Supply and Marketing Cooperative."
Chen Sheng pointed to the enterprise report of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative of the Southern Province, which had the words "public institution" written on it.
On the page for the Southern Province Supply and Marketing Cooperative Group, the words "state-owned enterprise" are displayed at the top.
However, the name of the Southern Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. is only listed as "small and micro enterprise".
I glanced at it twice and lost interest, but I was still very curious to know how Feng Wendong was going to play it.
"Is there a specific plan?"
Feng Wendong was clearly prepared.
Chen Sheng had a projector, so Feng Wendong projected the PowerPoint presentation directly.
"Nan Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. has a government background, so it can easily recruit city-level agents in the 17 cities of Nan Province. These city-level agents can then issue agents to various counties and districts. The county and district agents, with the government's endorsement documents, can merge supply and marketing cooperatives into community supermarkets and small businesses in townships and villages."
"There are 4.5 villages in the southern province. If we merge 20% of the small shops with the supply and marketing cooperatives, we can have 9000 branches to supply goods to 9000 shops. The sales of 9000 shops will be the turnover of our southern province supply and marketing enterprise management company. If it is 1 a year, it will be 9000 million. If it is 10 a year, it will be 9 million in turnover."
"Next, we will build our own factories, produce and sell our own products, and have these 9000 shops work for us."
"Finally, we can expand and strengthen the company, go public, or have the provincial supply and marketing cooperative invest in it, either way is fine."
I asked curiously, "Mr. Chen is your agent in Liancheng, and what can I do in that?"
Feng Wendong was very confident; he seemed to have already predetermined the roles for me and Chen Sheng.
"President Shen and President Chen can establish a new supply chain company and invest in Nan Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. Then, they can supply goods to the 9000 supply and marketing cooperatives under Nan Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. They can earn profits from the supply chain and receive dividends from Nan Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. If Nan Province Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. raises funds, goes public, or is acquired, President Shen and you can still make a fortune."
"Your supply chain company can negotiate payment terms with various manufacturers. Whatever payment terms Nansheng Supply and Marketing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. offers you, you should offer the same payment terms to the manufacturers. In this way, you can supply goods at low cost or even zero cost."
The project is excellent.
It's very exciting.
I watched Chen Sheng's expression from the side, afraid he was already imagining the wonderful life he would have after making money.
Feng Wendong left.
"What, you want to do it?"
Chen Sheng nodded: "I've already raised the money for the city distributorship, but the supply chain is a huge undertaking. I don't have enough funds, connections, or network, which is why I wanted to bring you along to do it with me."
"Does he know you know me?"
"Well, when we first meet, everyone has to brag, right? This guy has a high standard, I have to brag about you, otherwise our status will be different when we cooperate."
"Okay, do it if you want. I won't manage things on a regular basis, but I'm the one who makes the final decision."
"No problem. In the past, I would have had to argue with you, but this is my last battle to turn things around, and I thank you."
