"Mr. Li, a gentleman who calls himself Hong Jiming wants to see you no matter what he says. He says there is a misunderstanding and wants to explain it. What do you think we should do?" Just as Li Mo was planning his next move, an uninvited guest suddenly felt his Downstairs in the office, insisting on talking to him. "Who is the other party?" Li Mo asked calmly while staring at the information on the computer. He has long been accustomed to such things, so he doesn't pay too much attention to them. Most of the time, he directly issues expulsion orders for these insignificant guests. "General manager of Yoshinoya fast food restaurant in Beijing." Then the assistant reported a name. "Huh?" Hearing this identity, Li Mo couldn't help but raise his head, becoming slightly interested. ¡°I have dealt with and competed with some giants in the industry before. Although I have had some remote conversations through the media, it seems that not many executives have visited in person. This time, Li Mo was surprised that this restaurant could not resist visiting him so quickly. He was curious about what the other party wanted to do with him. Did he come to beg for mercy so quickly? "After verifying his identity, let him be taken to the reception room first. I'll go after finishing what I'm doing." But since the other party came to the door on his own initiative, and he still had some questions he wanted to ask, Li Mo simply planned to meet and test each other out. Ichiban. More than ten minutes later, in a simple conference room on the first floor, Li Mo, who had just finished handling the matters at hand, opened the door and walked into the room. Then a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a formal suit appeared in front of him. in sight. I think this must be the uninvited guest. "Hello, you must be Mr. Li Mo, the president of aacc, right? I have known you for a long time. I am the general manager of Yoshinoya Restaurant in Beijing. Hong Jiming." I saw this strong young man walking into the room. Hong Jiming immediately stood up and greeted him proactively. Because he had done enough homework before coming, he could recognize the young boss at a glance. And as Li Mo approached the room, Hong Jiming seemed to feel an invisible pressure from the other person, which even made him dare not take the initiative to take a step forward to shake hands with the other person. Hong Jiming himself attributes this feeling to his own psychological reasons. In fact, this sense of oppression comes from Li Mo, who is constantly making breakthroughs. Relying on plane training, Li Mo has now gradually broken through the most superficial physical training. Starting to move towards a deeper level of training. Although such training still cannot allow him to directly resist bullets with his gun and achieve superhuman effects, it is enough for him to surpass ordinary martial arts practitioners in terms of internal strength and tap into his hidden potential. Temperament will also show extraordinary effects. "Yes." In response to the other party's enthusiastic statement, Li Mo just nodded casually, then sat on a sofa, looked at the other party and asked. "The assistant just said that you are here to explain some misunderstanding?" "That's right" Seeing Li Mo get straight to the point. Hong Jiming was also eager to explain, "Because of your company, CP Group has terminated the previously planned cooperative development plan with us. I think there must be some problems in this." After taking out a piece of information from his briefcase and handing it to Li Mo with both hands, he continued, "I have heard about Mr. Li's charity and patriotic sentiments for a long time, so I came here today to explain specifically. In fact, we The fast food restaurant Yoshinoya controls is not a Japanese company, but a catering brand developed solely by Chinese agents" "Oh?" Hearing this, Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the information in his hand to check it out. If the other party wasn¡¯t lying, this would be a little bit beyond his expectation. "In fact, Hong Kong Island's Hung Group purchased the patent from Japan's Yoshinoya, obtained authorization, and invested in Beijing Yoshinoya Fast Food Co., Ltd. in the mainland. We are the only Yoshinoya in the world that does not have Japanese shares. To be precise, we are a Hong Kong Island-owned company. In fact, our store is almost completely different from the Japanese 'Yoshinoya', and there is no trace of Japanese culture. The Yoshinoya we position is suitable for Chinese people, whether it is the environment, food or consumption habits." Following Li Mo's every move, Hong Jiming continued to explain, "At the beginning, this matter was controversial. Japan's Yoshinoya did not agree that we should change the design of its inherent horseshoe-shaped bar. But we operate it ourselves, and they have no shares. . We persuaded them. Now when we launch new products or make some changes, we only need to say hello. In fact, our general manager had a strong national sentiment and designated us to use tableware from Japanese companies. We think ChinaThe porcelain in Jingdezhen and other places is also very good, but they refuse the Japanese request and use national brands. " "If that's the case then why are we helping our competitors, undermining Huan Gong, and stealing our resources secretly? " Thinking that he had not bothered to collect detailed information in this regard, Li Mo did not doubt the authenticity of the information in front of him too much. After all, these things were well-documented, and the other party could not make it up so easily. He came out to lie to himself, and then he directly mentioned this important issue. ¡°It seems that our misunderstanding should be here. " Hearing Li Mo's question, Hong Jiming seemed to have found an important clue, and said in a somewhat excited tone, "Can you elaborate on this matter? "Seeing that the other party really knew nothing about it, Li Mo briefly introduced to the other party what he had found out about Yoshinoya's enclosure, and then added, "The source of this information is from me. I can't tell you, but one thing is for sure, Yoshinoya did do these things, I hope you can explain it. " "Huh~ It is indeed like this. " As if he had found a way out, Hong Jiming first breathed a sigh of relief, then changed his sitting posture and continued to explain to Li Mo, "You may not know something, but Japan's 'Yoshinoya' has also set up a joint venture to open a store in Shanghai. It can be said that the store is the same as KFC. It is directly controlled by the overseas Yum Group and has nothing to do with us. After we obtained the authorization, we mainly developed in Hong Kong Island and North China. There are already more than 100 stores. When Japan's Yoshinoya established a joint venture in Shanghai, they greeted us in advance. Maybe for the time being, we feel that the conditions for our expansion into the Magic City are not yet mature. What they did themselves is completely different from ours. " "Recently, I have heard about the fact that Yoshinoya in the Magic City has acquired rice producing areas and plans to be self-sufficient in supplying it, but I really didn't expect that they would have such a big conflict with your company. If you are willing, I You can also act as a middleman to help you contact the person in charge there. It's better to talk face to face. " After finishing speaking in one breath, Hong Jiming picked up the mineral water next to him to moisten his throat, and then waited for Li Mo's reaction. "There is no need to talk to them, but I am still a little curious. You also emphasized 'nationality', and you hope to do it. It is a national enterprise, but your company represents Yoshinoya. People like me who don¡¯t know the inside story immediately think it is a Japanese store when they see it. This seems to be in great conflict with the national enterprise you emphasize. " Listening to the other party's explanation, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny. There are so many tricks in a catering brand. "Actually, we are also helpless, but we want to go slowly. Yoshinoya can break away from the concept of Japan. When people mention Yoshinoya, they don¡¯t think of Japan, but of beef rice. When the time is right, we also hope to be able to build a national brand of Chinese fast food chain restaurants, but now that Yaoxiangmanju¡¯s Zhuyu is at the forefront, I¡¯m afraid our idea will be postponed indefinitely. " Hearing this, Hong Jiming smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I'm sorry that I didn't understand the situation and caused trouble to you in a hurry. "Then, Li Mo looked at the other party seriously and said, "However, I'm afraid you're a little late now. " "Umwhat do you mean? " Hong Jiming looked at Li Mo with a puzzled face. He didn't understand what the other party was thinking. In his opinion, if the misunderstanding was really resolved, wouldn't it be over if the other party no longer interfered with the cooperation between him and Zhengda? What trouble could there be? " "Facts Above, we have also begun to launch new products on products such as beef rice, especially around the stores involving Yoshino Restaurants, and these items can no longer be withdrawn. " Li Mo put his hand on his cheek, "I'm afraid your turnover and later goals will face a big blow. " "" At this moment, Hong Jiming wanted to stand up and yell at the young man in front of him. Why are you so anxious before you understand the situation! But when he thought that there was nothing questionable about Li Mo's actions, he felt that he was not angry at all. The reason is that there is no law in the country that clearly stipulates what restaurants can and cannot do. As long as it does not break the law, no matter what Yaoxiang does, he has absolutely no right to criticize it. But when he thinks of Western fast food such as KFC being criticized. As Yaoxiang Catering pursued him, Hong Jiming suddenly felt a headache again and leaned on the sofa, speechless. ¡°You can go back and discuss it with your headquarters. " Looking at the other party's troubled expression, Li Mo also felt a little sorry, "Why do you have to represent a Japanese brand? If possible, I think you can try to cooperate with Yaoxiang Catering. " "I don't quite understand. ¡± Seeing that things seemed to be improving, I didn¡¯t know where to go.Hong Jiming then sat up and stared at Li Mo, hoping that he could give him a good proposal. "It's very simple. You guys probably won't be able to run Yoshinoya anyway, so instead of just holding on, it's better to join Yaoxiang Catering." Then, Li Mo expressed his opinion. "Join Yaoxiang? But as far as I know, it seems that aacc has never participated in joint-stock cooperation?" For a moment, Hong Jiming thought he heard wrong. "Don't think too much about it. What I mean is, let the more than 100 stores in your hands operate Yaoxiang catering as a privileged agent, and at the same time share our new products in rice staple food. As for the income, it will be divided according to the proportion of investment. In fact, with It¡¯s not much different for you to represent Yoshinoya. It¡¯s just a change of sign.¡± Li Mo smiled and explained, ¡°This is my compensation for the misunderstanding. Moreover, even if the misunderstanding is resolved now, it will not guarantee the safety of our catering department in the future. If the supervisor himself considers you as his next opponent, then the chance of sharing will be gone. Therefore, it is best to consider my current suggestion. "Even if I don't do anything, others will not attack me. reasons, but because of the misunderstanding caused by his own negligence, Li Mo still thought of a compromise. This can not only help the other party reduce the impact, but it is also equivalent to a disguised acquisition of Yoshinoya. "This I have to go back and discuss it with the Hong Kong headquarters in detail I will give you an answer then." After understanding what Li Mo meant, Hong Jiming nodded. At the moment, if Li Mo hadn't said it casually, This is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, compared with Yaoxiang Catering, Yoshinoya¡¯s signature is obviously much less attractive, and its profitability is also hugely different. From the bottom of his heart, Hong Jiming himself still hopes to promote such cooperation. After all, whenever there is friction between China and Japan, the restaurant he manages will always be boycotted, and he is also a little scared. . Once you can marry aacc, your status will obviously rise in the future. "Also, if you can, please help me find out about Yoshinoya's enclosure in the Magic City, and specifically which clothing company it is cooperating with." Thinking of his original purpose, Li Mo did not forget to remind, " If your company finally chooses to change its banner and join aacc, we will definitely not treat the hero badly. " "Okay, don't worry, I will do my best to help you investigate. " Now that we have reached this point, Hong Jiming naturally knows what he should do. Do something and promise immediately.
