"Young man, what you said is excellent!"
"I admire your daring attitude of speaking your mind and taking action!"
Chu Degun looked at Qin Chuan with admiration, a smile on his face.
"What's your name?"
"Mr. Chu, his name is Qin Chuan. This is Mr. Chen Jinyu. They came together," Manager Feng quickly explained from the side.
"Qin Chuan, have you ever been to our Meitehao supermarket?" Chu Degun asked.
Qin Chuan shook his head, "Not yet, I haven't had the time."
"That's perfect, there's a supermarket of ours not far downstairs. Would you be willing to go and have a look with me?" Chu Degun extended an invitation, which surprised many people around.
Just then, Chu Degun said to the others in the office, "Of course, everyone else is also invited. Anyone who wishes to visit our Meitehao supermarket can come along!"
This statement immediately caused quite a stir, and several men and women in the office showed excited expressions. Although many of them had secretly visited Meitehao supermarkets before, this time was different, as Chu Degun himself was leading the tour.
Someone immediately raised their hand and loudly exclaimed their desire to join. These were the businessmen who were genuinely interested in franchising with Meitehao, not the impostors.
And so, led by Chu Degun, about a dozen people descended by elevator and headed towards the nearest Meitehao supermarket.
In less than ten minutes, everyone had arrived at the entrance of the Meitehao supermarket. The first thing they saw was the striking red and blue trademark of Meitehao, which was highly recognizable. This was a large supermarket located in a high-end area, serving as a flagship store for Meitehao! The spacious area at the entrance was filled with various vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles, and cars. People were constantly coming and going through the supermarket entrance, indicating the bustling business of Meitehao.
China's vast population represents an unparalleled consumption capacity. People's daily necessities, from food to clothing, housing, and transportation, amount to a terrifying number every moment. This signifies the great prospects of the retail industry. Anytime a business can capture the people's "vegetable basket" and "rice bowl," its future is bound to be bright. Meitehao was born in such an environment!
Led by Chu Degun, the group entered the supermarket. The first impression was its size—huge! The entire supermarket covered an area of over two thousand square meters, stretching as far as the eye could see. At the entrance, the most advanced checkout equipment was installed, with dedicated staff to look after customers' belongings. Employees in uniform were busy processing payments for each customer, creating a scene of bustling prosperity.
Chu Degun's appearance prompted the leader responsible for the supermarket to come out and greet them warmly. Chu Degun waved him off, telling him to just focus on his job and that he didn't need special attention. Led by Chu Degun, the group walked into the supermarket, surrounded by rows of shelves filled with a wide variety of goods, such as snacks, beverages, and alcoholic drinks.
"This is the puffed snack area and the beverage area!"
"Over there is the dried fruit area, the vegetable and fruit area, and the aquatic products area!"
"The dessert area, the dairy products area, and the soy sauce and condiment area all have specific zones!" Chu Degun explained the supermarket's layout in detail. "This supermarket of ours covers an area of 3,200 square meters and caters to all aspects of people's lives, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation!"
"See that? That's the hardware and general merchandise area. Everything people need daily, such as detergent, laundry soap, shampoo, body wash, soap, towels, toilet paper, and so on!"
"There are also items like rice cookers, electric fans, gas stoves, kettles, and electric blankets!"
"There's even a dedicated clothing section!" Chu Degun explained in detail to everyone as he moved from one area to another, as if reciting from memory.
"Our Meitehao supermarket is equipped with the most advanced warehousing facilities. Thousands of employees are constantly traveling across the country to secure the most reliable sources of goods!"
"We also maintain close cooperative relationships with major domestic manufacturers!"
"By cooperating with us, you will have the most reliable guarantees in terms of service and after-sales support!"
"We have only one service tenet: to satisfy the public!"
"By partnering with us, you will benefit from stable resource distribution, reliable after-sales service, professional training personnel, unified on-the-job training, and we will even provide five insurances and one housing fund for our franchisees!"
"On holidays, there are gift giveaways, grand holiday feasts, and even group travel opportunities, with countless other benefits!"
Looking at the bustling large supermarket filled with people and Chu Degun's spirited demeanor and ambitious vision, everyone was filled with genuine admiration. Qin Chuan was no exception. As an entrepreneur and successful businessman, he understood the immense hardship Chu Degun must have endured to create such a large chain supermarket. This wasn't something money alone could achieve; it required a very strong management system and the recruitment of various talents.
After the tour, everyone's eyes were filled with respect and conviction.
"Everyone, there's no need to be formal. Whether we ultimately cooperate or not, we are friends now," Chu Degun said gently as he scanned the crowd in a quiet area.
"You've all had a tour. What are your thoughts? Feel free to speak your mind, or point out any shortcomings you've found in our supermarket."
The group looked at each other. Most people offered flattery, comparing Meitehao to giants like Walmart, Carrefour, Metro, and Century Mart. Chu Degun listened to these remarks with a subtle smile, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
"Qin Chuan, do you have anything to say?" Suddenly, Chu Degun's gaze fell upon Qin Chuan in the group.
Being singled out publicly, Qin Chuan immediately became the focus, with everyone looking at him. Under their gaze, Qin Chuan stepped forward.
"Mr. Chu, could you give me one night? I will give you a special answer tomorrow!"
Chu Degun was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a response from Qin Chuan. However, a spark soon flashed in his calm eyes, and he said with a smile, "No problem! I'll be waiting for you in my office tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chu!" Qin Chuan expressed his gratitude.
A few minutes later, the group left the supermarket. Everyone chose to go home temporarily. No one was impulsive enough to invest immediately. After all, they were all adults and needed to calmly consider whether they wanted to join the Meitehao family. This was an investment of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and one couldn't be swayed by mere promises. Everyone had to bear the consequences of their own actions!
