Chapter 227: Haruko Natsume's Reappearance
"Honda, sometimes you have to give up something in order to gain something!" The chairman of the association, a former high school classmate, patted Honda on the shoulder, then sighed and walked out. Honda was the only one left in the entire conference room.
It's just Ichiro, Jia Yapeng, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
"President, what should we do now?" Ichiro Honda felt a little dazed in his heart. He had never thought about failing to pass the review. Now everything is stuck here, which made him very uncomfortable and even wanted to think about it.
I have a question about my future if I continue to stay in this company.
"The Snack Association, in the final analysis, is just a distributor. It can only prevent our products from being put on the shelves, but it cannot prevent our products from going on the market. Our products are products that have passed the Fuso ZF review, and it is not that they cannot be sold. You
Why are you so discouraged so soon?" Jia Yapeng laughed.
"President, no matter how good our products are, they are not as important as channels. Without channels, our products cannot be sold at all! Didn't you also know the importance of channels at the beginning, so you deployed outlets across the country, and we have branches all over China?
Is it a channel network? You should know the importance of channels better than me!" Ichiro Honda said.
"You actually use me to teach me a lesson!" Jia Yapeng looked at this guy in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy had also studied Jia Yapeng's experience in starting a business, and actually used Jia Yapeng's own story to convince Jia Yapeng.
"I have never denied the importance of channels, but the channel controlled by the Dim Sum Association is not the only channel. We can't sell it in dim sum stores, so why can't we change it to another place, such as putting it on the shelves in a convenience store?" Jia Yapeng said lightly.
.
"Convenience store!" Hearing these three words, Honda Ichiro's eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. Convenience stores sell daily necessities, as well as some quick-heat foods. The basics of shopping there are
Most of them are adults, but children still like to shop at confectionery stores, and the number of convenience stores in Fuso is far less than the number of confectionery stores. The gap between this channel and the association’s channel is too big!"
"I know that the convenience store channel is definitely not as good as the dim sum store channel, but it's better than nothing!"
"But there is a conflict between the Sweets Association and convenience stores. Once the products are put on the shelves in convenience stores, they will never be allowed to be put on the shelves in Sweets stores in the future. We must put them on the shelves in convenience stores, so don't even think about having them in Sweets stores.
The store has seen our products!" Honda Ichiro said.
"President Honda, I have a question for you. Do you think Fuso in the future will be a world of dim sum or convenience stores?" Jia Yapeng suddenly asked with a smile.
"This..." Ichiro Honda pondered for a while, and then said, "I'm afraid this is the world of convenience stores. Confectionery shops are basically run by individuals. The stores are generally relatively shabby, and only children will spend money in the store.
There is no way to attract the attention of adults. In the future, dim sum shops will definitely be inferior to convenience stores.”
"It's not worse. In the future, dim sum shops will basically be completely eliminated by convenience stores. Don't look at these guys making fun now. By then, they will all be the tears of the times!" Jia Yapeng looked at the association's huge conference room and sneered.
He said.
In later generations, Fuso's sweets shops were on the verge of extinction. The business of the sweets shops was basically robbed by convenience stores, and even children were unwilling to come.
In order to attract children to return to the sweets shop, the association even spent money to invest in the filming of several sweets animations, creating sentiments and hoping to arouse children's nostalgia for various sweets. However, except for the heroine, she became one of the regulars in the book.
Besides, basically nothing has changed, and the dim sum shop is destined to be eliminated by the times.
"Yes!" Hearing Jia Yapeng's insistence, Ichiro Honda had no choice but to make up his mind. If this failed, he would resign immediately. Jia Yapeng was so insistent that he really thought he was not a part of the shopping mall.
Has the God of War been defeated? Has Fuso's Matsushita Shinnosuke been defeated?
Ichiro Honda cursed in his heart.
Ichiro Honda's work efficiency was still very high. He started contacting major convenience stores in Fuso that afternoon and put all the results in front of Jia Yapeng the next day.
"President, the results of convenience stores are not very good either!" Honda Ichiro shook his head and said, "I have sent people to communicate with the top 10 chain convenience stores in Fuso, and 7 of them said they no longer need new instant noodles.
The product was admitted, but we were directly rejected. In addition, the three convenience stores that agreed to let us enter all kept their profits very low. Our selling price was 15 yen per pack, but they asked for 8 yen in channel fees. We
We can only get 7 yen, but our cost is as high as 5 yen per pack, and in the end we only have a profit of 2 yen, which is really a loss!”
"Are all convenience stores so greedy?" Mr. Jia frowned. Is he really about to face a Waterloo?
"Hey, the most disgusting thing is the Ito lobby of 7-11. This guy has forgotten that I was the one who blamed him for spying on the teacher in the shower. Now he actually tells me that no one wants my products. It's simply disgusting.
!" Ichiro Honda said, beating the table angrily.
Ito Daichi is also a high school classmate of Honda Ichiro and is also the current president of 7-11 convenience store. 7-11 convenience store is currently the second largest convenience store in Fuso, second only to Lawson convenience store, with 7,000 stores nationwide.
store.
Ichiro Honda thought that he could get preferential treatment based on his relationship with Ito Daido, but it turned out that this guy asked for the most aggressive price. For a selling price of 15 yen, he actually dared to ask for 10 yuan in channel fees. Ichiro Honda was very angry.
I want to hit someone on the spot!
"There is also a child like Natsume Haruko. She doesn't know how to persuade her. She can help me, my uncle, to persuade her. It's really a waste of my love for her!" Ichiro Honda complained in Jia Yapeng's ear.
"Wait, whose name did you just say?" Jia Yapeng's eyelids twitched.
"Natsume Haruko, oh, I remembered, President, you also know Haruko!" Ichiro Honda finally realized that the reason why he rejected Jia Yapeng in the first place was because Natsume Haruko said that Jia Yapeng was a liar, otherwise he might have agreed at that time.
Jia Yapeng’s five-year, 400 million yen buyout plan.
Now Tamiya and Jia Yapeng should be the strongest collaborators, and he might be able to become the president of Tamiya Group with this merit.
After all this, Natsume Haruko is the culprit!
Thinking of this, Ichiro Honda's nose was almost filled with smoke.
"Natsume Haruko, what is her relationship with Ito Hall?" Jia Yapeng suddenly asked.
"She is the only daughter of Ito Yokado! By the way, she is also the sole successor of the entire Ito Yokado!" Ichiro Honda muttered.
"Wait a minute, if I heard correctly, this Ito Yokado is the boss behind the 711 convenience store, and Ito Yokado should also be the property of the Ito family, but Natsume Haruko's surname is clearly Natsume, how can it be so?
Are you the only heir to Ito Yokado?" Jia Yapeng asked puzzledly.
"That's because Ito Daido fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have loved!" Ichiro Honda chuckled, and when they started chatting about gossip, Honda Ichiro's interest suddenly came up. "This guy Ito Daido has a very bad hobby, that is, he likes to steal.
When it comes to watching women take a bath, the more special the woman, the more interested he is. Back then, he peeped on almost all the female teachers in the high school, which made me take the blame for him several times."
"But this guy always has an unlucky day. He later went to a shrine to pray for blessings, and then he couldn't help but fell ill. He went to spy on the shrine maiden taking a bath, and was caught red-handed. According to the rules of the shrine, Ito Daidai had to commit seppuku or commit suicide.
Either he must marry this miko and give birth to an heir to the shrine. Ito Daido will definitely not be willing to commit seppuku, so he has no choice but to marry that miko!" Ichiro Honda chuckled.
"No way, Ito Daido is considered a noble son after all. How can a shrine maiden from a mere shrine force him to commit seppuku?" Jia Yapeng asked in surprise.
"That's because the shrine maiden he was peeping at was not another shrine maiden, but the head shrine maiden of the Natsume family of the Rokuhe Shrine under Tsuchimikado Shinto!"
"It's Liuhe Shrine!!!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu on the side suddenly covered her mouth with a look of extreme shock.
"Is this Liuhe Shrine awesome?" Jia Yapeng asked curiously.
"President, you can't talk like that, otherwise the whole Fuso family will want to beat you!" Kasumigaoka Shiu said quickly, "Rokuhe Shrine is one of the shrines founded by the god of Onmyoji, Abe Seimei!"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu introduced Jia Yapeng to popular science.
Abe Qingming is the most powerful Onmyoji in Fuso, and his status is similar to that of Zhang Tianshi in China. Anyway, he is the most powerful human being in all Fuso myths and legends.
In addition to Abe Seimei's own Abe Seimei Shrine and the Tsuchimikado Shrine passed down by his descendants, it is said that the twelve most powerful shikigami under him also have their own separate shrines for worship.
Liuhe Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Liuhe, the shikigami under Abe Kiyomei, and all the shrine maidens inside are descendants of Liuhe, the descendants of serious gods.
Therefore, the status of these shrine maidens and shrines in Fuso is extremely high. Even a Fortune 500 company like Ito-Yokado does not dare to be any presumptuous or disrespectful, otherwise it will be drowned in the spit of the people across the country.
After Ito Daidai peeked at the bathing of Natsume Rei, the head shrine maiden of Liuhe Shrine, he was left with the only two options of committing seppuku or marrying her. Even Ito Yokado could not save him. In the end, Ito
The young man in the lobby, who had just turned 22, had to marry a miko and became a man with a wife and a prison sentence.
"According to the rules of the shrine, if the child born by a shrine maiden is female, then she must bear the mother's surname and become the successor of the next head maiden and continue to worship the gods!"
"If the child is a male, he can take his father's surname and become the heir to his father's family! This can be regarded as everyone getting what he needs, so the Ito family agreed to this rule!"
"But I didn't expect that these two couples only gave birth to one daughter, Natsume Haruko, and there was only one heir left in the entire Ito family. Therefore, Natsume Reiko's status is extremely high in the entire Ito family, even higher than that of her father.
His status is even higher, and he is the favorite person of her grandfather Masatoshi Ito!"
