It's really unusual!
This was originally arranged directly by the region. The store would find someone to coordinate with the store and produce a map, and then go through the entry procedures!
This doesn't require a general manager to step in, unless he wants to make friends with Ma Jian!
But considering Ma Jian’s popularity in the circle, it has not reached that level yet, unless a few big guys who know the relationship between Ma Jian and Chen Xiao treat him with great respect!
How could those who don’t know the inside story take a small retailer seriously?
After waiting for a while, Mr. Wu still didn't show up. Chen Xiao looked at the time and it was almost 15:30 pm!
Ma Jian must have been waiting here for more than an hour.
I secretly wondered if he was delayed by Mr. Yan's matter.
At this time, Ma Jian's phone rang. It was the vice president of business!
"Mr. Ma? Mr. Wu wants you to come to his office for a chat!"
"Okay, I'll be right up!"
After hanging up the phone, Ma Jian was a little confused. I came here today to check the scene. You can just arrange anyone to come.
Why go to so much trouble? Now you want me to go to the general manager's office.
It’s not that he can’t go, but there is a mystery involved!
"what happened?"
Ma Jian had arranged everything himself, but when he got there, he encountered so many problems that he suddenly felt bad!
"Their general manager asked me to come up and talk!"
"Let me go with you. Let me see what else can happen down there!"
The first time Ma Jian came to the business management office, he asked several people before he found the business management area!
I spoke to the front desk and found out that it was Mr. Wu! He introduced himself as Ma Jian, the person in charge of the "Baji Baji" brand!
The front desk staff had probably been told, so they took them in!
When we arrived at Mr. Wu’s office, he was very polite, completely dispelling the feeling of frustration we had just had on the first floor!
He stood up, warmly invited everyone to sit down, and asked his assistant to make tea!
"Boss Ma, thank you for your hard work along the way!"
Appearing very cordial, Ma Jian smiled and said, "It's not hard, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said, "No trouble, this is the instructions from the region, and we are all following them!"
Chen Xiao glanced at him. Although he spoke politely, he was obviously resentful. This was originally his territory and he was the one who made the decisions, but now the district had forcibly arranged a merchant to come here!
"Who are these two?"
Mr. Wu asked Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian.
Ma Jian replied: "Colleague!"
He knew that Chen Xiao was afraid of trouble and had never revealed his identity to the public. In addition, he now often went to places "incognito", so he was even more reluctant to reveal his identity!
Mr. Wu said, "Mr. Ma's subordinates are all elite soldiers and strong generals!"
But I was muttering in my heart, a snack maker has all handsome men and beautiful women under him. The man is very handsome, and the woman looks just like "Milk Tea Sister"!
Mr. Ma must be really capable, otherwise the region wouldn’t pay so much attention to him!
The reason why we feel that we are being valued is because of the strength of the regional promotion, which requires that the location be adjusted as soon as possible. At the same time, the rent is given to "Baji Baji" at a pure deduction of 5%. This level of support is unprecedented!
Ma Jian did not respond. He felt a chill down his spine when Chen Xiao was called his subordinate. This was really unbearable!
"Mr. Ma, I asked you to come over today and want to communicate with you!"
Ma Jian knew that he had entered the main topic, so he said, "Go ahead!"
Mr. Wu: "Can the 'Bazi Baazi' snack shop be relocated?"
Chen Xiao was immediately furious, but in order to understand the whole story, he forced himself to hold back his anger and lowered his head to drink a sip of water!
Ma Jian said, "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. How can we change the location we've already agreed on with the district?"
He still took up the banner of the region, because this was the only thing that made Mr. Wu worried!
Sure enough, Mr. Wu's eyes narrowed, and he said unhappily, "Mr. Ma, we must listen to the instructions of the region, but the region does not understand some of the special circumstances of the store, and we are also in trouble!"
"Can you please make some concessions? If you agree, I'll explain this to the regional leaders and guarantee you'll be offered a position no worse than this one!"
This is a joke. Ma Jian's position is the best position on the field. Where can you find a position for him that is not worse than this one?
"Mr. Wu, I don't understand what kind of difficulties the plaza has. If there were any difficulties, why didn't you report them to the district administration beforehand? Why did something change when we were here to give on-site instructions?"
Mr. Wu said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, the location you requested is currently occupied by a major local client of ours. We've been collaborating for so many years, and it's really inappropriate to just kick them out. After all, there are other brands working with them in the market!"
Ma Jian shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu, I think there is definitely another way to solve this problem. If we consider the cooperative relationship between the two parties, we can find another position for him to manage. As you said, we have been working together for so many years, he should also cooperate with you!"
Seeing that Ma Jian was unwilling to cooperate, Mr. Wu's face turned ugly. He said, "Mr. Ma, you were assigned by the region, but the future cooperation still depends more on cooperation with the stores. If you give me an inch today, I will give you a foot tomorrow!"
Ma Jian heard his subtext: You were arranged by the region, and I can't do anything to you if you don't cooperate, but the future cooperation will be with the stores. If everyone is unhappy or needs my support and cooperation, can I not take care of you?
Do you always go to the district to complain? Once or twice is fine, but if you do it more than that, won’t the district be annoyed by you?
Chen Xiao, who was listening to this, became impatient and couldn't help but ask, "Which company or local agent is this big client of yours?"
Because I heard the conversation between Mr. Wu and Mr. Yan on the first floor, I asked Zhang Ziqian to check Mr. Yan later, and the information I got was that Mr. Yan had a snack shop here!
The contract stated that it was a certain company, and the brand was a snack shop, so Chen Xiao couldn't confirm whether it was Mr. Yan's snack shop that made Mr. Wu so taboo!
Mr. Wu was a little unhappy when he saw Chen Xiao interrupting, thinking that he didn't know the rules!
I'm talking to your boss, how dare you, a mere errand boy, butt in?
At this time, Ma Jian said: "Yes, Mr. Wu, I want to know who is running this snack shop!"
After Ma Jian asked this, Mr. Wu pondered for a moment and said, "It belongs to Mr. Yan, a major client of ours. He also runs a seafood buffet and a Sichuan restaurant. Oh, and the 'Youxuan Shangpin' on the first floor is also his!"
This is a coincidence. It's not just a matter of stealing his snack shop. The location of "Youxuan Shangpin" on the first floor has also been coordinated with the regional general manager Lin, and it will be given to Ma Jian to create a similar brand. However, Lin Ya just found out about this and hasn't started making arrangements yet!
In addition, Ma Jian’s brand trademark has not been registered yet, the supply of goods has not been prepared, and the region cannot issue notifications!
But this time, Ma Jian will discuss this issue with the stores in advance so that they can be mentally prepared!
After all, as Mr. Wu said, no matter how good the regional arrangement is, the future work coordination still depends on the stores. As the saying goes, it is easier to deal with the devil than the little devil, so he still pays attention to handling the relationship with the stores!
"Mr. Wu, I'm here for two reasons. One is to brief you on the location of 'Baji Baji,' and the other is that I'm currently negotiating with the regional office about the location of 'Youxuan Shangpin,' so I'd like to report that to you in advance!"
Mr. Wu's face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Did the region agree?"
Ma Jian said: "We had a very pleasant conversation!"
Mr. Wu couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and paced back and forth in the office!
This is extremely rude, and it shows how anxious Mr. Wu is about this matter!
"Boss Ma, if you trust me and listen to my advice, don't get involved in this mess. Even if the region gives you the location, you won't be able to do business well!"
What is this? Ma Jian was immediately unhappy. I don’t want face, but Chen Xiao still wants face!
He can't even arrange his own business, and yet he threatens you as a local general manager!
Seeing Ma Jian's expression, Mr. Wu knew he had misunderstood and quickly said, "Mr. Ma, I didn't mean that the store was targeting you, but this Mr. Yan. Oh, it's hard to put it into words!"
Ma Jian didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue!
"Let me tell you this, Mr. Yan's business is very extensive, including bath centers, business KTVs, and bars. He's the biggest one in Ning'an!"
Ma Jian laughed and said, "He looks like a local tyrant, but I'm doing business honestly in the square, so I won't have anything to do with him!"
"Boss Ma, you're oversimplifying things!"
"In business, what's the point? Harmony brings wealth. Let me ask you, what if your snack shop has customers picking and choosing every day but never buying anything?"
"Or customers complain every day about gastrointestinal problems after eating your snacks, demanding compensation and quality inspections!" "Furthermore, your employees have people following them after get off work every day, even if they don't do anything. Isn't that creepy?"
"If you do this a few times, can you still do business?"
Ma Jian's face changed drastically. "Isn't this just despicable?"
Mr. Wu said, "A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. You've taken their business away, so how can they not fight back?"
Ma Jian said, "Why would Mr. Wu still cooperate with such a person? Isn't he just asking for trouble?"
Mr. Wu smiled awkwardly, then said after a moment, "There's a shopping mall in our area that's just average. Mr. Yan had a business there, and he didn't pay his electricity bill for several years. Then the general manager of that project directly arranged for Mr. Yan's electricity to be cut off. Guess what happened next?"
Ma Jian said: "The merchants should bear the water and electricity bills. Naturally, they should pay off the arrears and restore the power supply to the mall!"
Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "Then the general manager was walking down the street after get off work when a sack was put over his head. Although he didn't do anything, he was so scared that he took three days off!"
"After that, the electricity bill was never mentioned again!"
Ma Jian didn't expect that Mr. Yan would be so unconventional and arrogant. He dared to do this in a society ruled by law. Isn't that courting death?
No need to ask, the so-called electricity bill was not mentioned, so Mr. Yan does not have to pay it, but the electricity bill is collected by the power supply system. The money is either paid by the shopping mall or the general manager of the project finds a way to solve it himself!
Chen Xiao looked up at Mr. Wu and suddenly remembered that he had said on the first floor that he would advance Mr. Yan's rent and electricity bills. He was probably afraid of having a sack put over his head!
The general manager of a project seemed to have a very glorious position, but he did not expect to be bullied by the local tyrants like this!
"Boss Ma, do you understand what I mean? Why would we mess with this kind of person?"
Ma Jian smiled and said, "I'm doing my business. If he doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. But if he offends me, I will definitely offend him!"
If this were any other place, Ma Jian would be fine, but this is Chen Xiao's place. If he compromises with such evil forces, it's not Ma Jian who is wronged, but Chen Xiao who is frustrated!
How can I hold my head up high when I am bullied in my own place?
When Mr. Wu heard what Ma Jian said, his expression suddenly became serious. He didn't expect that Mr. Ma would be so stubborn. His words were so clear, why did he have to be so stubborn?
In the end, none of the aspects ended well!
At this time, Mr. Wu’s phone rang!
He took a look and clicked the answer button with a somewhat grim expression!
"Boss Wu, have you dealt with that guy with connections in that shitty area? Tell him, if he insists on stealing my business, I'll make him lose everything in Ning'an!"
The office was very quiet, so Chen Xiao and the others could hear the arrogant words coming from over there!
Chen Xiao clenched his fists. He had come across this person today when he was out for an investigation. Moreover, the person involved was his good brother Ma Jian, otherwise he would not have been able to get involved!
In the future development process, will there be someone like Mr. Yan in every place? Will every project general manager handle it like Mr. Wu? Then how many merchants will compromise because of this? After all, there is only one Ma Jian and only one Chen Xiao!
After hearing what Mr. Wu said, the others probably didn't have the courage to fight with Mr. Yan here. As Mr. Wu said, if he bothers you every day, how can you do business!
Mr. Wu said gently, "We are still communicating. Please give me some time!"
"Boss Wu, I'm telling you, I don't have the patience. I have to go back to play mahjong after I'm done! Tell that client that if they agree, they're my friend, Old Yan, and I'll treat them well when they come to Ning'an for food and drinks. If they don't agree, they're my enemy, and you know what happens to my enemies!"
Mr. Wu said, "I know. Let's talk about it. I'll get back to you later!"
After hanging up the phone, he said to Ma Jian, "Boss Ma, you heard it too. This is just a snack shop. If he knew that the location of 'Youxuan Shangpin' was also taken by you, we would become enemies!"
"What do you think? Take a step back and the world will be brighter!"
Ma Jian smiled and said, "Boss Wu, there are some things you can't compromise on. We'll just have to fight back!"
Mr. Wu remained silent. He didn't expect Ma Jian to be so difficult to talk to. He must be happy only when he made things bigger!
At this time, Chen Xiao leaned over to Zhang Ziqian's ear and asked her to check the rental conditions of Mr. Yan's several shops!
After 5 minutes, there was feedback. Chen Xiao took a look and found that the rent was indeed much lower than that of other shops in the venue!
At this time, seeing that no results could be achieved through negotiation, Ma Jian prepared to leave!
The door outside was suddenly pushed open, and a sound like firecrackers came out: "You guys are really struggling to talk about this matter, I will do it myself!"
Mr. Wu's face turned pale. He stood up and said, "Mr. Yan, why are you here? Didn't we agree that I would come to communicate?"
President Yan swaggered in and said, "You're too inefficient. I'll do the talk myself!"
After saying that, he looked at Ma Jian and the others and said, "Are you all 'Baji Baji'? I think your names are so tacky. On the contrary, it sounds so good. Just call yourself 'Ji Baji Ba'. It will definitely sell well, hahaha!"
Ma Jian's face changed, and even Mr. Wu looked unhappy. Insulting other people's brand like this was too much!
Mr. Wu quickly introduced Ma Jian to Mr. Yan, saying, "This is Mr. Ma from the 'Baji Baji' brand. The other two are from his company!"
He then introduced Mr. Yan to Ma Jian and said, "Mr. Yan is a star entrepreneur in our local area, and his business is very large!"
Because President Yan insulted Ma Jian's brand as soon as he entered the door, he naturally would not give President Yan a good face, and he was too lazy to even get up!
Mr. Yan laughed. "Are all young people so individualistic these days? Or have they suffered less?"
Ma Jian was too lazy to talk to him and stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, my attitude is very clear, so I won't bother you anymore!"
President Yan's expression changed: "Why, you don't want to give me face?"
Ma Jian laughed disdainfully, who are you, why should I give you face? He was too lazy to pay attention to him and treated him as air!
Seeing that these people didn't give him face, President Yan's face suddenly darkened and he said sinisterly, "Good! Young people nowadays are really getting more and more powerful!"
"However, if you want to do business in Ning'an and don't give me, Old Yan, face, you will not only not make any money, but you may even lose everything!"
Ma Jian was full of disdain, but what Mr. Yan said next immediately pissed him off!
Mr. Yan continued, "If your business loses money and you have no other options, the two girls behind you are pretty good looking and can come work in my department store. I'm open to both men and women, haha!"
"I'm going to your mother!"
After Mr. Yan came in, he brought a chair and sat down because Chen Xiao and others were sitting on the sofa!
Ma Jian couldn't stand hearing him insulting Chen Xiao, so he kicked him!
He kicked Mr. Yan so hard that he fell to the ground with a thud!
The incident happened in a flash, and probably no one except Ma Jian would have thought that such a kick would happen!
Mr. Yan was stunned at the time. He was like a local tyrant in Ning'an. No one dared to kick him, not to mention glaring at him!
Mr. Wu was so frightened that he ran over and said, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, are you okay?"
Then he turned to Ma Jian and said, "Boss Ma, you're going too far. If anything happens to Boss Yan, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"
Ma Jian turned around and said to Chen Xiao, "You go first!"
After all, Mr. Yan is the local boss. He is afraid that Chen Xiao will suffer if he stays, so he wants them to leave first!
"Go, if anyone of you can get away today, I'll write the word 'strict' backwards!"
With the support of Mr. Wu, Mr. Yan stood up with a grim face and made a phone call!
Ma Jian hurriedly said to Chen Xiao, "Hurry up and leave. I'll stay here and play with them!"
Zhang Ziqian stood closely beside Chen Xiao, who stared coldly at Mr. Yan who was on the phone and Mr. Wu who was at a loss!
Mr. Yan didn't know who he was calling, so he said, "I was beaten at Junxiao Plaza and I'm in the general manager's office now!"
After hanging up the phone, he said to Ma Jian and the others grimly, "You have guts!"
He did not step forward to fight with Ma Jian. He was an old man, and Ma Jian was young and strong. He could not afford to suffer such a loss! (End of this chapter)
