Kapitel 1266: Chapter 1266: You do the first month, I'll do the fifteenth!
"How many types have been discontinued?'
Fu Kai asked hurriedly.
Yoshino Eiji handed the statistics table to Fu Kai, who immediately took it and looked at it carefully.
Milk pudding, fresh milk, natto hand rolls, tuna hand rolls, salmon and onion mayonnaise hand rolls, mackerel sushi, cod roe rice balls, assorted rice balls, sushi rolls, brown sugar sushi...
There are 38 types of fresh food products that have been discontinued!
Among them, there are 32 types of rice balls, hand rolls and sushi that can be used as staple foods!
The 38 types of fresh food products involve a total of 7 suppliers.
There are only 14 kinds of staple foods such as rice balls, sushi and hand rolls left, which is pitifully few!
If consumers go to the store, there are not many options for them to choose from.
Moreover, it is hard to say how many of these 14 kinds of fresh foods will remain, and it is hard to guarantee that other suppliers will not also discontinue supply.
It is precisely because of this that Fu Kai's face is so gloomy that it looks like it is about to drip.
'President, the reason why each supplier has discontinued supply has not been clarified...'
Eiji Yoshino had not finished speaking.
Fu Kai said in a deep voice, 'There's no need to investigate, it was Ito Yokado Convenience Store that did it.'
Eiji Yoshino and Tomo Yoshida were taken aback. They had not expected the president to be so sure, but since the president knew who the enemy was, they would save themselves the trouble of investigating.
Time was pressing, and Fu Kai did not have time to talk to Eiji Yoshino and Tomo Yoshida.
He immediately ordered, 'These seven suppliers have already stopped supplying, so there is no need to waste time trying to salvage the situation. Find replacements immediately.'
'In the meantime, give a 20% discount on all remaining fresh food products, promote the remaining fresh food, display more of the same products, fill the shelves, and stabilise the remaining suppliers. Yoshida Tomo will take the lead on this.'
'Yoshida Zhi, you do a stock-taking of all the goods, and at the same time send someone to contact all the suppliers, and make sure you find out exactly how many suppliers have cut ties with us.'
'Yoshino Eishi, there's one more important thing, you liaise with Manager Luo, he'll tell you the details.'
'Right now I need to marshal resources to solve the crisis.'
'Do you have any other questions?'
The three of them shook their heads.
'Now the company is in crisis, but it is absolutely impossible to break us. You have to manage the employees well to avoid unnecessary trouble...'
After talking to Yoshida Satoshi and the others, Fu Kai confirmed Xia Yu's location over the phone, grabbed his clothes and hurriedly left the Tokyo headquarters of the 7-Eleven convenience store chain.
...
'Chairman, I'm sorry to disturb you again,'
Fu Kai said with a guilty expression as soon as he saw Xia Yu.
Xia Yu shook his head nonchalantly and motioned for him to sit down on the sofa opposite: 'It's fine, sit down and talk.'
'Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Has something happened?'
Fu Kai took a deep breath and said, "Chairman, I have come to ask for your help. The company is in a huge crisis. Ito-Yokado has fought back against us.'
Xia Yu's eyebrows rose slightly, but his expression remained indifferent: "Tell me in detail what the situation is.'
'Chairman, just before I came...'
Next, Fu Kai spent nearly ten minutes describing the situation, and also gave Xia Yu the materials that Luo Zhiming and Yoshino Eiji and others had brought to report to him.
After he finished, he anxiously waited for Xia Yu's reply.
If it were just about the Ito Yokado Group poaching people, he could deal with it, and there was no need to report to Chairman Xia Yu.
But the crisis that Yoshino Eiji and Yoshida Satoshi and others had reported, he was unable to solve it in a short period of time.
So the first thing he did was to ask the chairman for help, asking him to mobilise the resources of the foundation to help, otherwise if he relied on himself, it would not be impossible to solve, but it would take a lot of time.
Unfortunately, 7-Eleven was just getting started and it was the most critical moment, so time was the most precious thing!
"I remember you told me last time that you were building an independent fresh-cooked food factory, right? How is it going?'
Xia Yu asked after putting down his materials.
As far as he knew, in order to cope with the different market demand situations on Hong Kong Island and to stabilise the fresh and cooked food supply system, Fu Kai had creatively proposed building their own comprehensive fresh and cooked food factory.
Having their own fresh and cooked food factory would have many benefits. The most obvious one was that the quality and taste of fresh and cooked food could be stabilised. Another benefit was that they would be able to produce enough fresh and cooked food in a timely manner, and yet another was that they would be able to reduce costs...
In short, the benefits are numerous. At the time, Xia Yu also praised Fu Kai's creative ideas, so he was quite impressed.
Fu Kai lowered his head and said, 'Chairman, the fresh-cooked food factory is being built, but the factory building has not yet been completely built, and the staff have not been recruited yet.'
'It was my oversight, I didn't pay enough attention.'
Xia Yu shook his head slightly and nodded gently, 'Okay, it's fine that you've woken up on your own, there's no need to say more for now, just don't make similar mistakes in the future.'
'However, Ito Yokado's tactics are really impressive. Every move is lethal. Haha...'
Hearing Xia Yu's light laughter, Fu Kai's nervousness inexplicably eased.
From the situation, it seems that the chairman does not consider the crisis facing 7-Eleven to be serious.
'Your approach of poaching talent from the other side is correct. I will have Kuang-Chi cooperate with you to aggressively poach talent for me. We should also take bigger steps in opening stores. Without the constraint of talent, the previous pace of opening 1,000 stores within a year is still too slow.'
'As long as the problem of product supply is solved, there will be no problem.'
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa and said with a faint smile, 'Fu Kai, Ito-Yokado convenience stores are using their industry-leading advantages to cut off your supply. What are your plans and what assistance do you need?'
Fu Kai's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly said, 'Chairman, I have already thought of some ways to deal with it before I came.'
'For regular products that have been cut off, we will replace them with other brands of the same type. Although there will be an impact, it is better than nothing.'
'For some big brands of goods, if there is no suitable substitute, then I am prepared to ask our sister company Wellcome to help with the procurement and secretly transfer the goods to us. As long as we get through this difficult time, the blockade should be lifted.'
'Our sister company Wellcome is just planning to enter the island market, and the first store is about to open.'
'As for fresh milk and dairy products in fresh and cooked food, I plan to ask our sister company Bright Dairy to help, and also let Bright Dairy take this opportunity to enter the island market.'
'As for other fresh prepared foods, I have already asked someone to find a capable replacement supplier, but it will be difficult because the current suppliers of fresh prepared foods are all the same ones we have been working with for many years under the 7-Eleven convenience store brand. Some of the fresh foods are specially developed and produced according to consumer tastes, and they are not commonly sold in the market and are relatively difficult to make.
'It will be difficult for us to find products of the same level and type for a while, unless we change other fresh prepared food suppliers and change the tastes and categories. However, such a major change will disappoint those loyal consumers...'
Xia Yu listened quietly as Fu Kai explained.
After he had finished, Xia Yu pondered for a long time, and then instructed Fu Kai, 'The problem with the fresh-cooked food can be solved like this: for the fresh-cooked food that is still being supplied, we will promote it with a 20% discount, as you suggested, to guide consumers to buy those fresh-cooked foods, which will help boost sales and make it easier to retain the suppliers that have not left.'
'For the other types, take some samples to the Marco Polo Hotel and Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Tokyo. The chefs at these two five-star hotels are of a high enough standard and there are a lot of them, so they can help out for the time being. I'll have someone make the arrangements.'
'Then you give me all the information on the original suppliers, and I'll arrange to buy all these suppliers out. Ito-Yokado convenience stores will do the first part, and we'll do the second part!'
'We'll fight to the death, even if we end up hurting ourselves as well as the enemy!'
'You need to arrange for an expansion as soon as possible, don't waste this opportunity.'
'In addition, the fresh food factory must be under construction 24 hours a day. After it is completed, all of these fresh food suppliers that have been acquired will be integrated into the fresh food factory for unified and standardised production, and this business will be established!'
'Thank you, Chairman, I will get right on it.'
Fu Kai was full of surprise and gratitude.
At this moment, with the strong support of the chairman, he felt full of strength and could not wait to get started with the Ito Yang huatang Group.
'Go ahead, just call me if anything happens, there's no need to come here.'
'Okay.'
...
After Fu Kai left, Xia Yu sat on the sofa for a long time.
Then he picked up the phone and called Matsumoto Yu of Jiuding Securities, asking him to adjust the plan to short the shares of Ito Yang huatang Group and further increase the short selling efforts.
At the same time, he asked Matsumoto to gather manpower and prepare for offline acquisitions. Once they received the list provided by 7-Eleven, they would immediately launch the acquisitions, which must be fully completed within two days at any cost!
After finishing the phone call with Matsumoto, Xia Yu made another secret phone call, asking the people in the Luo network to collect business intelligence on the entire fresh food supply system of Ito Yokado convenience stores. They could not relax for a moment until he announced the end.
Xia Yu was also annoyed by Ito-Yokado's use of despicable competitive practices.
Since Ito-Yokado had already started, Xia Yu of course wanted to show them what was meant by 'the darkest is not the blackest, only the blacker!'
He had never been afraid of playing outside the rules of business!
