It turned out that Li Ran brought a conference group a few days ago, and Bai Xue happened to be the interpreter accompanying the conference. So we started chatting.

"Hey, Yuan Shan, I want to ask for Bai Xue's phone number! What do you think, do you want to ask someone out to meet you?" Li Ran teased Yuan Shan in a casual way.

Ouyang Huan quietly glanced at Yuan Shan's red face, glared at Li Ran and said, "Look, you are just not serious." Then he paused and continued: "Since you are an old classmate who I haven't seen for many years, I think it is

We should make an appointment to meet. I think Li Ran is going to call and invite your old classmate to have a big meal at a high-end restaurant, and Yuanshan Leather Art will reimburse the expenses. What do you two think?"

"Reimbursement!" Li Ran's eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic: "I'll call right away!"

...

In Houhai, in a very atmospheric restaurant, Li Rand was sitting on a chair looking around, as if his buttocks were on fire.

"It's coming! It's coming!" Li Ran suddenly pointed outside the glass window and shouted into the distance: "The woman in your dream is here!"

"Oh, Li Ran! Aren't you serious? What are you talking about?" Yuanshan scolded Li Ran, but he glanced nervously out of the window.

Under the sun, a dress is coming this way.

She is about 25 or 26 years old, with a pair of slender eyes, two willow eyebrows, a snow-white melon face, a pale pink slightly upturned mouth and a high straight bridge of the nose. She walks with a sense of beauty.

She has the temperament of a talented woman.

"Let me introduce, this is a talented girl from our school who has both good morals and academic performance!" As soon as Bai Xue entered the restaurant, Li Ran hurriedly greeted him, introduced to Ouyang Huan and said: "Bai Xue, snow is white, snow is white. That English

, that literary talent, that..."

"Okay, Li Ran, I know you are a tour guide now and you are so talkative." Bai Xue asked with a smile: "It seems that this is the brother Ouyang Huan you mentioned to me?"

"You are called old. I am not much older than you. Yuanshan, why don't you say anything?" Ouyang Huan smiled and pushed Yuanshan forward.

"Hello Bai Xue. Long time no see." Yuan Shan looked into Bai Xue's eyes with a smile.

"Ah, Yuanshan! Li Ran told me that you opened a store!" Bai Xue said to Yuanshan excitedly: "You were very handy when you were in school, and all the classmates liked your handicrafts."

"The three of us opened it together, and we are actually just getting started." Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Don't you have franchise stores all over the country? Are you just starting out? Yuanshan, you are really humble." Bai Xue glanced at Li Ran and said to Yuanshan.

"Superficial phenomenon, superficial phenomenon. The franchise store is not ours." Yuanshan glanced at Li Ran quietly and cursed in his heart, "You are just a quick talker, and you are bragging all over the world before you have even made a profit."

Li Ran grinned, sat down on the chair, picked up the menu and started ordering.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk. Don't just stand around." Ouyang Huan hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

When classmates meet, they can't finish talking about the current situation and tell endless stories about the past. The four of us talk to each other until dusk.

"Is your store nearby? I'll go there if I have time, and learn leather art from Yuan Shan." Bai Xue drank the juice in the cup and asked.

"It's near Houhai. It doesn't take long to walk. How about we go there in a while?" Li Ran saw it and said with unsatisfied interest: "Ask Yuanshan to make you a wallet to hold money."

"Another day, I still have a bunch of documents waiting for translation tomorrow! And many of them contain professional terms, so I need to find information." Bai Xue glanced at the time on her phone and said, "It's getting late, I have to leave."

"Yuanshan took the two of us to see you off. We just bought a Songhuajiang minivan last month." As he said this, Ouyang Huan took out a bunch of car keys from his pocket.

"Look, I told you that you are doing big business! You are even equipped with a car." Bai Xue said to Ouyang Huan with a smile.

"I always have to rent a car when purchasing goods, so I bought one after thinking about it." Ouyang Huan said to Bai Xue with a smile.

"Do all your branches across the country also purchase goods from the main store?" Bai Xue suddenly asked Ouyang Huan.

"No. The delivery is very slow. So each branch purchases goods independently." Ouyang Huan said to Bai Xue.

"If we purchase goods together, wouldn't we be able to reduce a lot of costs? Your head office will negotiate prices with suppliers." Bai Xue asked.

"I really haven't thought about this. But after you reminded me, it really is like this!" Ouyang Huan seemed to understand something, and happily said to Bai Xue: "Come to the store often in the future and give us some

Good advice?”

"No problem, as long as I go more often, you won't bother me." Bai Xue said jokingly: "Actually, I am a very troublesome person!"

"How could that be possible? Isn't the idea of ​​unified nationwide procurement you mentioned just now very good!" Ouyang Huan said cheerfully.

...

A few days later, Ouyang Huan found Yuan Shan and Li Ran and asked, "Have you two thought about unified nationwide procurement?"

"Purchase leather together! Come on! One more thing is worse than one less thing. Now we are short of manpower. Who can spare the energy? This requires communicating with each branch one by one. None of them are fuel-efficient. How to coordinate? I'm talking about this. To transport the leather purchased from the main store to various branches, freight costs are also incurred! Where is the money?" Before Yuan Shan could say anything, Li Ran started to argue.

"Yes, I also agree with Li Ran's point of view." Yuan Shan nodded and said, "You can't do a thankless and money-losing business."

"If we purchase uniformly, we will definitely be able to reduce procurement costs. As for freight, if we find wholesalers of high-quality leather in bulk, they should be able to distribute the leather to our various branches." Ouyang Huan explained: "Do the math.

, since we strictly adhere to the high-end market route, the cost of leather is considered a major part of our expenses. If we can really reduce the cost, we can save a lot of money!"

"That's true. If all branches across the country purchase from us, there will be a lot of price difference just for the leather! But how to coordinate it? Is there a high-quality leather supplier that can be our national supplier?

, what about free shipping? As far as I know, sheepskin, cow

There are many large-scale leather manufacturers. But when it comes to the best crocodile skin, we all buy it from foreign agents in Beijing. How can they have the ability to deliver it nationwide? Even if they do, they will.

Such a big profit?" Yuan Shan asked hesitantly.

"Then let's bypass them and purchase goods directly from large foreign manufacturers." Ouyang Huan said categorically: "I have done some preliminary research in the past few days. The largest suppliers of high-quality leather in the world are Japan, the United States, and

Three large companies in France have a monopoly. I plan to go abroad after a while to talk to them about unified procurement."

"So fast! Is this worth doing?" Li Ran was still skeptical.

"Why isn't it worth it! Only if we can control the supply of goods can we really make all branches across the country work with us. We must sign the general agent contracts in China for these three major international companies!"

"General agent?" Yuan Shan looked at Ouyang Huan doubtfully.

"Hey! The general agent just said that you can only sell this thing, and no one else can sell it. If someone else sells it, they can go to court and sue him!" Li Ran said noisily again.

"So awesome! But this is a big company, will they pay attention to us?" Yuan Shan was very excited at first, but then he looked very depressed.

"We are not small either! We have so many branches across the country. Who can purchase more goods than us?" Ouyang Huan said to Yuan Shan with a smile.

"Yes! That's really what happened! If we can really win this general agent, whoever wants to open a high-end leather art store in the future will have no choice but to join us. The high cost will be enough for him to bear." Yuan Yuan

Shan understood and looked proud.

"Yuanshan, please don't get too happy too early." Li Ran interjected from the side and said: "Our branches across the country must keep statistics on how much leather they purchase every year. Maybe they will ask us to advance it in advance.

The goods purchased for a year are piled up in the warehouse!"

"Ah! If we can't sell it, we won't go bankrupt! Besides, where can we get so much money?" Yuanshan was worried again.

"Everything depends on man-made things. If things are difficult, go forward step by step. Even if it's a dead end, it's a big deal. Come out and try another way. What's so scary." Ouyang Huan said to Yuanshan with great ambition.

"Yes! Let's explore the market first and see." This time Li Ran agreed with Ouyang Huan and thought about it, if he could really win over this general agent. There would be no need to open a store, just selling leather on a consignment basis would be enough!
