The journey starts from the Titanic

The female clerk introduced skillfully, apparently she knew everything about this gramophone, and Situ Nan could answer a few tricky questions.

"100 yuan, okay? I want two!" Situ Nan smiled.

"Don't worry, sir. Our company's products are not bargaining. The price of 130 yuan is completely preferential, and the quality is guaranteed." The female clerk tactfully rejected Situ Nan.

Well, the first price sale is also the first in China of Sincere Department Store. From this female clerk, Situ Nan sees that Sincere Department Store’s business model is indeed the best in China, Sincere Department Store is expected to have great development. space.

"Huh? Why is the brand of this machine turned out to be the first application? Didn't you just say that it was produced by an American company?" Situ Nan asked.

"Well, this is OEM. The machine is made by an American company, but their reputation is not strong enough, so our company puts its own brand. Our company has many products that are like this, and they are of high quality and low price." The female clerk explained.

"Oh!" Situ Nan nodded, he was more and more satisfied with the sincere department store.Seeing that time is running out, he asked, "Where is your manager's office?"

"Go up one floor, take the stairs to the left." The female clerk smiled, and saw that Situ Nan had no desire to buy and was not angry.

Situ Nan smiled gently and pointed, and the nameplate on the other's chest said: "Thank you! I remember you, Miss Huang Xiaohua! Your name is very interesting and the service is very good. I am very satisfied."

After Situ Nan left, another female clerk next to him smiled and said, "Little Hua, the young man looked very good just now. What are you talking about, talking for so long?"

"No. It's just that the person asked a lot of questions, it didn't look like a buyer, but also asked the manager's office how to go?" Huang Xiaohua shook her head, trying to forget Situ Nan's charming smile.

Chapter 80

The first department store is equipped with an elevator, which is a walk-behind type. It is placed in the lobby and can go up to the fifth floor.The entire department store is roughly close to the super mall a hundred years later. Shopping first, and then take it to the cash register on the first floor to check out.

"Reminiscence!" Situ Nan looked at the customers downstairs waiting to checkout, and praised: "Modern Department Store!"

In addition to the department store, Sincere has also built a hotel nearby, with elevators, bars, billiard rooms, and restaurants, which integrate shopping, entertainment and leisure, attracting a large number of customers.

Sincere Company now has only one branch, located on Zhongshan 5th Road in the old city, a 5-story building with a large area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters.However, for the huge Guangzhou, it is obviously not enough. So after Country Garden developed Meihua Road, Xianshi Company wanted to open a larger new store on Meihua Road.

Situ Nan came today to negotiate with Sincere Company on behalf of Meihua Company. Before coming, he had agreed with Ma Yingbiao, Chairman of Sincere Company.

Ma Yingbiao, an overseas Chinese in Australia, made his fortune in the fruit and vegetable business in Sydney, and later changed to a department store business. After returning to Hong Kong, he brought foreign experience back to Hong Kong, thus starting the legend of China's largest Chinese-owned department store.

"Ma Yingbiao? I hope you don't let me down!" Situ Nan murmured, walked straight into the manager's office on the top floor, stopped for a while at the door, and saw a forty or fifty-year-old, medium-length, kind-looking man. Walked over.

"Mr. Situ, I finally looked forward to you. My maid, Ma Yingbiao, please!" Ma Yingbiao greeted him warmly, secretly surprised that the representative sent by Meihua Company was young, but he didn't show his sophistication at all.

Ma Yingbiao is the big boss of Xianshi Company. He doesn't come to Guangzhou very often. Today, he came out to meet an unknown young man. This move surprised the management staff.

The man's identity is not simple. Many employees who saw this scene secretly thought that they curiously watched Situ Nan and the others enter the office.

Not only them, even Ma Yingbiao didn't fully understand Situ Nan's identity. He only knew that the other party was a representative of Meihua Company, which was enough.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ma, I just turned around below and made you wait a long time." Situ Nan apologized as soon as he entered the door.He was five minutes late.

"Where is it! Mr. Situ is polite." Ma Yingbiao smiled and didn't mind at all. He just heard Situ Nan saying that he was walking around in the mall below, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "I don't know how Mr. Situ feels about the store. ?"

"Yes! Here I saw that in different places elsewhere, Xianshi's business model is very novel, and the quality of the staff is also very good, completely worthy of'putting honesty, dare to be the first'!" Situ Nanzan said .

Of course, if he were to be picky, he would surely be able to pick out a lot of faults, but according to the standards of the early twentieth century, the business level of Sincere Department Store is no worse than that of American department stores.

"Haha. Mr. Situ praised." Ma Yingbiao smiled, accepting Situ Nan's praise calmly.He built the Xianshi Department Store by himself. It has accumulated his decades of hard work. Like a son, he feels proud to hear others praise his son.

After a greeting, Situ Nan said straightforwardly: "Boss Ma, regarding the establishment of a new store in Meihua Road for Sincere Company, we naturally welcome such a powerful company as Sincerely to enter Meihua Road."

"That's good. That's good." Ma Yingbiao said happily. Is he really afraid that the piece of land he fancy at the corner of the street would be bought by others?Investing in Meihua Road has become a hot topic in Guangzhou. As land prices rise, it is not so easy for companies to obtain high-quality locations.

After some bargaining, the two sides generally reached a consensus.The land that Xianshi Company wants to purchase is 10 acres and the amount is 500,000.

"Congratulations, boss Ma." Situ Nan smiled.

"Haha. Same joy and joy." Ma Yingbiao glanced at Situ Nan, his face was embarrassed, and said, "It's just about payment. I don't know if Meihua can be accommodating for one or two months, with a few months of grace!"

If you put aside the usual, Ma Yingbiao would always be able to squeeze out, but since the year before last, since the first year before the company opened a branch in Shanghai, it cost more than 2 million.Although the income is good after opening, the cost has not been recovered.As a result, the funds of Sincere Company are tight.

"Boss Ma, this little money should be nothing to your company! You know, in order to develop Meihua Road as soon as possible, we have invested a lot of money in infrastructure, and we are under greater pressure. So..." Situ Nan Therefore, looking at Ma Yingbiao with difficulty.

Listening to Situ Nan's refusal, Ma Yingbiao felt that there was a play.He said sincerely: "Understanding. It's just that we have difficulties in implementing the company first. It is true that in addition to buying land, we have to spend money to build our own buildings and spend money to shop goods. These forests add up to a million yuan. So I hope you will be more accommodating. Of course, we will give you the first payment of 100,000. As for the balance, we will pay it in installments and pay it off within 5 years. How about?"

Situ Nan was silent after hearing this. According to the information he had obtained, the situation of Xi'an Company was roughly in line with Ma Yingbiao's.

He thought for a while and laughed: "Since the company's funds are tight, we also understand it very well. In fact, we can change the way of cooperation. I would take the liberty to ask, our Meihua company wants to invest in the sincere company, I wonder if it is possible?"

"This..." Ma Yingbiao hesitated for a moment. Situ Nan's words were beyond his expectation. He looked at the confident Situ Nan in surprise and was secretly wary.

After thinking about it, he felt that he listened to what Situ Nan said.

"Mr. Situ, tell me what you think!" Ma Yingbiao held his breath and looked at Situ Nan.

"It's very simple. Country Garden can buy shares in Sincere Company at a discount on land, and it also undertook to build a department store. Since it does not have to pay a penny, it can only be responsible for distributing goods and sales. In addition, if your funds are tight, Meihua The company can also provide a loan for Sincere Company to further expand nationwide." Situ Nan said sincerely.

He is familiar with this type of joint venture.If it weren't for Xianshi's time-honored department store, Situ Nan wouldn't care about it.

Is there such a good thing?Not only does it not need to pay a penny, but can also borrow from Meihua to expand elsewhere?

Ma Yingbiao feels that Meihua is so kind!

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Will there be other purposes?

Ma Yingbiao frowned in contemplation. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Situ Nan, trying to distinguish the truth from Situ Nan's mixed face.

Situ Nan still had a smile on his face. Apart from being calm or calm, he really didn't have any malicious intent towards Sincere Company.

"One thing to say is that Meihua has its own trading channels. We also have department stores in the United States. At the same time, we also have a large number of factories. If we cooperate with Meihua, Xianshi believes that it will be better in terms of supply. Other peers have achieved greater advantages. To be honest, we also chose Xianshi as the partner of cooperation after selection." Situ Nan explained.

Meihua does have the strength to operate the department store business, but Situ Nan prefers to rapidly expand its business in China by investing in and merging well-established and well-run companies, even if it costs a little more.

The more money is naturally the better, but if compared with the precious time, it takes more time and more energy to run a department store alone in order to make more money. This is both for Situ Nan and Meihua If it is not cost-effective, it is more realistic to buy a ready-made one.

The conditions put forward by Situ Nan were very tempting, and Ma Yingbiao was moved.He estimated in his mind that if according to Situ Nan's statement, Meihua will become the major shareholder of Sincere Company, and its influence may become greater and greater.

Do you want to board the big ship Meihua?

Or is it better to be the first chicken than the oxtail?

Ma Yingbiao hesitated and struggled.

He knows that Meihua has a very broad path. Not only is it strong, but also has close relations with Nanyang Chinese businessmen. Some of his friends have become Meihua's partners. It is said that Meihua's reputation is good, and there are no scandals.

"Boss Ma, I know you came back from Australia. Not long ago, I also visited Australia. To be honest, I don’t think there is any good impression there. There, except for white British people, the other ethnic groups are second-class ethnicities. I believe that Boss Ma should have a deep understanding." Situ Nan said suddenly.

This makes Ma Yingbiao a little strange. He is not sure why he got involved in Australia?

"It's true. I felt it was difficult to do business in Australia, so I returned to Hong Kong." Ma Yingbiao nodded and gave Situ Nan a blank look.
