"Everyone, everyone, what Rencheng said just now makes sense. It is true that you have not taken care of Xiangshantang these years. Moreover, we are hosting people and we need things at short notice. You can overcome the difficulties and deliver them despite the wind and rain. We are very grateful. "
"However, the main point of calling everyone here today is not to stop purchasing, but to work together. Everyone can maintain the supply of ingredients as before, but in order to enable Xiangshantang to tide over the difficulties, you can earn less. If the canteen spends less, the current situation can be alleviated."
Below, someone said, "Okay, Master Meihua, no, Chef Meihua! We can understand that if you earn less, you can earn less, it doesn't matter."
Meihua turned to the person who had just spoken. He was a short old man with a hunched back and a pipe pot in his hand.
"That's great, but making less money is only temporary, but quality must be ensured. This cannot be ambiguous at all. You know it, uncle!"
"Chef, please don't reply so quickly. I think this matter needs to be communicated to the Prime Minister first. If you move the purchaser and don't tell He Xiang, who will bear the responsibility if the supply is cut off or there is a quality problem in the supply? Woolen cloth?"
"I will bear this responsibility!"
Liu Bancheng said this slowly.
But everyone in the audience heard it very clearly.
"Rencheng, you don't have to worry about this, because the Prime Minister has agreed that we can increase revenue and reduce expenditure. There is no need to bother the Prime Minister with this little matter. The Prime Minister has many things to do every day, and we can make the decision in this regard!"
"You can make the decision, huh, I think something big is going to happen in our Xiangshan Hall. You are making your own decisions. If you cut off your supply or something goes wrong in some way, don't blame me!"
After saying that, Rencheng stood up, walked straight through the tables and crowds in front of Liu Bancheng, passed Liu Bancheng, and went downstairs.
Ren Cheng's behavior was also within Liu Bancheng's expectations.
Liu took a formal look at the crowd halfway through. Some were fat, some were thin, some were men, some were women, some were colorfully dressed, some were wearing simple clothes, but they were facing the atmosphere just now. , both excited and nervous.
There was a short man with a small square face and small round eyes standing aside, looking at Liu Bancheng. Liu Bancheng also made eye contact with this person.
At this time, everyone was staring at Liu Bancheng.
"I called everyone here today just to report the situation and meet each other. It has been more than a year. If there were no special circumstances, it would be difficult for us to meet. I am very relieved for everyone."
"Right now, Xiangshantang's funds are tight, guarantees must continue, and quality cannot be reduced. I hope everyone can understand the situation of Xiangshantang. The supply of ingredients must not be higher than the market, but must be 10% lower than the market. This is the relationship between our old customers. When the difficulties are over, we will make money for everyone."
Everyone started whispering to each other. The little round eyes said, "Don't worry, for the cooperative relationship we have established over the years, you have nurtured the customers and you have nurtured us. Through this, we are now richer. We also thank you Xiangshantang for providing this big platform."
"Then we will definitely keep the price to the lowest, and we have to make a profit, and we can't pass off inferior products as good ones. That will affect the reputation of Xiangshantang and ourselves, right?"
The little round eyes said, turning to face everyone.
A tall bald man stood up and said, "What you said is as if we have been cheating before, but Hall Master Liu, don't worry, our suppliers have been conscientious over the years. Our reputation in Xu Yangcheng is quite impressive." , don’t worry, I can’t do it, and I won’t care about other people, I can guarantee that.”
Liu Bancheng could hear the voice of this person's words, "Well, now that we've said it all, let's all give me the prices of the ingredients you supply today. I'll find out first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat woman wearing a headscarf behind said, "Hangzhu Liu, it's like this. The market is very volatile now, so the prices I provide now may not be accurate. For example, there are 15 parts of pork. , I’m afraid we can’t come up with a price yet, because we have dedicated people to do the market.”
"What should we do?" Meihua asked.
"Can you give us a day and we can deliver them all tomorrow?"
"Can!"
To be honest, Liu Bancheng did not study the purchasing aspect carefully. When he was working in the original group, there was a special purchasing department to manage it.
In today's dynasty, information is not developed, transportation is not convenient, and market fluctuations should be great. If it says tomorrow, it will be tomorrow. It’s not even a few hours away.
Seeing that everyone agreed with the fat woman's opinion, let everyone quickly disperse and take action.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Bancheng specially sent them to the door. Seeing that his boss knew so much about etiquette, everyone nodded and bowed politely.
As soon as he turned around, Rencheng was halfway behind him and almost hit him.
Rencheng's expression was very complicated. He could neither look happy nor nervous, but his face was pale.
He stepped aside halfway and said, "I have nothing to say to you now. In this case, you can show me the bills you paid a few days ago, or give me the prices of the materials. I want to see it."
Rencheng, "That's not necessary!"
Liu Bancheng suppressed his anger and looked at Rencheng, who was looking away from him, and said,
"It's necessary, I want to compare!"
"Aren't they all going to report back tomorrow?"
"They are them, tomorrow is tomorrow, what I want is the price in your hands!"
"I don't have that. I know the price in two months."
Mei Hua followed behind and said to Liu Bancheng, "Yes, that's how they calculated it." Liu Bancheng turned around and said to Rencheng, "Then give me a copy of what you calculated last time!"
"Go quickly! Why are you still standing there?"
Halfway through, he clearly saw Mei Hua winking at Ren Cheng.
The next day, in the morning, all suppliers sent over their price lists. Coincidentally, the prices they sent were exactly the same as the prices Rencheng had paid two months ago. Liu Bancheng found it interesting.
Because before he arrived at the front building in the morning, he made a special trip to the market. The price of Chai Zipi Eggplant in the market was two cents per catty, but the price recorded in the account last month was nine cents per catty. It has doubled so much in two months, but the accounts are still settled as usual. What a huge loophole!
No wonder Rencheng's mood was so different. Dozens of tons of food for three to four thousand people a day were all bought at high prices. It's immeasurable how much profit there was.
Liu Bancheng was fortunate that he had reason to pay attention to the procurement process because of the freezing of funds allocated from above.
Once I realized that for more than 20 years, Rencheng had been responsible for purchasing alone, I realized the reason why Rencheng was so awesome at Xiangshantang.
