Chapter 164 Supply Chain 4

ZG supply chain.

We provide comprehensive solutions for our clients, including warehousing, logistics and distribution, unified inventory management across multiple stores, and financial loan advances.

"Single items sell few units, have high purchase prices, and don't make money or even lose money selling them, but we still have to sell them together? Purchasing these items ties up inventory, capital, and warehouse space."

Our ZG supply chain can help you with procurement, inventory, and distribution. We handle everything at low prices, without tying up your capital or requiring you to use your warehouse.

"Selling items require cash to stock up, and also require working capital."

Our ZG supply chain can also help you.

The advantage of our ZG supply chain is:

1. Unified procurement based on the needs of multiple stores: Increased bargaining power and reduced costs.

For example, with milk, can the price you pay for a single store purchasing 100 boxes be the same as the price ZG pays for 10 stores purchasing 1000 boxes together?

For example, in certain categories of daily necessities, the purchase price is high and the selling price is low due to small quantities. By switching to the ZG supply chain and partnering with ten supermarkets, the advantage of large purchase volumes translates to lower purchase prices! The profit margin is approximately 5%-10%.

2. Unified Warehousing: Merchants in the ZG supply chain reduce warehouse usage and rent by improving space utilization and reducing redundant warehousing manpower expenses through "centralized storage + intelligent inventory management." This reduces warehouse costs by 10%-30%.

3. Unified distribution: Instead of the decentralized distribution of "supplier → single store", it is transformed into centralized distribution of "supplier → unified warehouse → multiple stores", which combines transportation trips and reduces the logistics cost per unit of goods by 10%.

Xia Xing was very satisfied with the expressions of the bosses in the audience during his speech: "So, by joining our company and becoming a supplier in the ZG supply chain, you will not only be free from the worries of cash flow, but you can also reduce costs by 10%-30% overall. Reducing costs is equivalent to increasing profits."

The bosses present are not fools; what ZG Supply Chain does is as simple as it gets.

It's about connecting individual supermarkets into a chain store through ZG Supply Chain Company!

This is precisely the advantage they lack!

The PPT presentation has ended.

Absolutely brilliant.

Now, all that's missing is the endorsement of trust.

Then, Director Pang went on stage to speak.

"With the current economic downturn and unfavorable environment, companies that go it alone will inevitably be weeded out by the market. Joining forces is the trend for development! ZG Supply Chain is an excellent company with strong financial backing and legitimate operations. Furthermore, it will appear on the provincial capital's list of 100 top companies next month. We are very optimistic about ZG's development."

Which leader would dare to give such a grand speech if they weren't one of their own?

In addition, is there a whitelist of 100 companies in the provincial capital?

Is this some kind of endorsement from the Zhou family for my company?

It makes it easier for me to get things done.

applaud!

The representatives from 14 supermarkets in the audience were applauding; this was generally very beneficial to them.

The most important funding issue has been resolved!

This also solved the problem of small and medium-sized supermarkets banding together to catch up with large chain supermarkets.

"That concludes today's meeting. If you have any specific questions, our company will create a group chat where our sales team will provide one-on-one support."

With the participation of 14 supermarkets, the finance department quickly compiled a financial plan.

Currently, 14 supermarkets are jointly operating similar products. They take their monthly purchase amount to the manufacturer to negotiate prices and payment terms.

Rice, flour, and cooking oil are the main staples.

Flour manufacturer.

"Hello Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to have you visit our factory!"

"Director Pang introduced your factory to me, saying that Boss Zhang is good at business and the product quality is up to standard, so we came to take a look."

"Thank you very much for Director Pang's help."

I took a quick tour.

This flour mill is one of the top 5 in the local market, and its scale and financial strength are undeniable.

office.

"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Shen is in?"

"Supply chain".

"Hehe, my factory supplies quite a lot to the supply chain, and we also do drop shipping."

This flour factory is indeed doing very well.

"I wonder which companies Mr. Zhang supplies to?"

"Most of them are shipped to other places, and some are also sold to online stores."

"We will also have an online store later, but currently we only have a supermarket."

When Mr. Zhang heard it was a supermarket, he became very interested because supermarkets have much higher profit margins than e-commerce.

"I wonder how many supermarkets Mr. Shen supplies to now?"

"About a dozen or so, and of course, that number will continue to grow steadily."

Upon hearing about the major client, Mr. Zhang's eyebrows practically curved into a smile. He brought out the brewed tea and asked, "Please enjoy your tea, everyone. How much are Mr. Shen's monthly sales?"

The finance department provided a list of flour purchases. A supermarket has about three brands, divided into high, medium and low grades, and each brand sells about 1000 jin per month.

In other words, the sales volume of flour in 14 supermarkets in one month was 21 tons.

"There are three brands in total, and together they sell about 20 tons."

Quite a lot!

Mr. Zhang chuckled and said, "Mr. Shen is truly a man of big business; 20 tons is quite a lot."

"Since Director Pang introduced us, I won't beat around the bush. We've just started working together, and I can get these dozen or so companies to replace one of their brands with Mr. Zhang's brand, but Mr. Zhang needs to give me a satisfactory price and payment terms."

Mr. Zhang put down his teacup: "Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go calculate the costs."

Wang Yan: "Cousin, what if the boss's price is higher than we estimated?"

I laughed and said, "There are two flour mills in this industrial park. If he doesn't agree, we'll go to the other one. We've already given face to Pang Kai from the site management and supervision bureau, why should we give him a way out?"

That's how business works.

The business world is like a battlefield; if you disagree, join your opponent.

Less than half an hour later, Mr. Zhang pushed open the door and came in with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Mr. Shen, please take a look. These are the high, medium, and low grades of flour that my company has calculated. The prices are ex-factory prices, excluding tax."

He took the paper, glanced at it, and then handed it to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's small eyes were fixed on the paper, turning it around rapidly, though she nodded at me.

"Alright, we'll be going now. Once the company has verified the prices, we'll notify General Manager Zhang to prepare the goods. As for the payment terms..."

"Since Mr. Shen supplies goods to the supermarket, the payment terms will be calculated according to the supermarket's terms."

"Okay, but our supply chain has a wide variety of products, and financial settlements are relatively slow. A difference of a week or 10 days shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Mr. Zhang's initially happy expression vanished: "Well, at most 10 days. You've seen the price; any longer and it'll be a loss-making business."

I stood up, extended my hand, and shook hands with Mr. Zhang: "Thank you for your support, Mr. Zhang."

They left the flour mill.

"Xiaoqi, let's go check out another one, it's also in this industrial park."

Compare prices from three different vendors.

At least ensure that you are not fooled.

The same scene played out again.

Until Wang Yan received the same price list with three tiers: high, medium, and low.

A group of people drove away.
