Beside him, Chen Jinyu, who had been full of envy, was stunned and confused about the meaning of Qin Chuan's words.
The girl who greeted them also had a moment of hesitation in her enthusiastic smile, a flash of surprise in the depths of her big eyes.
At this moment, Qin Chuan turned his head, a half-smile on his face, "Miss, do you think what I said is right?"
The greeting girl felt a little flustered, and instinctively avoided Qin Chuan's gaze, hurriedly saying, "Sir, I'm just a low-level employee, I don't understand what you just said!"
"Heh heh!"
Qin Chuan let out the two-character laugh that people in later generations found most annoying.
"Miss, no need to be nervous, I was just speaking casually. Please show us in!"
Qin Chuan said.
The reason he dared to say this was of course because Meitehao, at this time, was still in its nascent and critical stage. Even if it had great strength and prospects, and its advertising was sufficient.
But in this era, it would still take a long way to make people accept and trust it quickly.
What's more, the most important thing is that investing in such a large supermarket is not a small investment, often hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Not everyone dares to invest casually.
The truly wealthy are not interested, and the poor cannot afford it. Anyway, Meitehao's start encountered the awkward stage of other enterprises' beginnings.
Led by the girl, Qin Chuan and Chen Jinyu entered the investment promotion department.
It was very lively inside. The spacious office area was crowded with people, all sitting in groups of two or three. Each table had a staff member in uniform, enthusiastically and patiently explaining something.
Various exquisite brochures were placed on the tables.
Seeing the reception staff bring in more people, and not their internal staff, a man and a woman sitting behind a desk both had a glint in their eyes.
"Minister Xue, Manager Feng, two more gentlemen have arrived. They want to understand our company's franchise process!"
The greeting girl said to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Minister Xue and Manager Feng stood up enthusiastically and greeted them.
"Hello, gentlemen!"
"Hello, Minister Xue, Manager Feng!"
Qin Chuan smiled, and Chen Jinyu also greeted them.
"May I ask your surnames, gentlemen?"
Minister Xue was a beautiful young woman in her early thirties, plump, with fair skin, and a hint of alluring sexiness and charm when she smiled.
Manager Feng was a man in his forties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looked refined and educated.
"My name is Qin Chuan, and he is Chen Jinyu. I am here to visit your company."
Qin Chuan stated their names and relationship concisely and directly.
"Mr. Qin, please have a seat!"
Minister Xue was obviously satisfied with Qin Chuan's self-introduction. She liked such a straightforward and efficient way of handling things.
After sitting down, they chatted briefly about some matters, such as where Qin Chuan was from, what profession he was in, and whether he had any understanding of the retail industry.
Qin Chuan answered fluently, spoke eloquently, and appeared composed.
"Judging by Mr. Qin's demeanor and speech, you seem like a seasoned veteran who has been in the industry for many years. It doesn't match your appearance and age at all!"
Manager Feng was surprised by Qin Chuan's words and actions. The young man sitting in front of him, in all aspects, was more composed and knowledgeable than he, a manager with many years of experience.
Minister Xue was also surprised, "The last question, Mr. Qin, why did you choose Meitehao?"
"There are already quite a few brands in the retail industry in the market now!"
Qin Chuan smiled calmly, "It's very simple, for two reasons!"
"First, I am optimistic about Meitehao's prospects!"
"Because I have thoroughly investigated your company's founder, Mr. Chu! I have carefully studied his career experience over the years and deeply admire his talent. I believe that under Mr. Chu's leadership, Meitehao will forge a more brilliant path!"
"The second reason is even simpler!"
Qin Chuan paused here and continued.
"To be honest, I don't have a lot of capital right now. The franchise fees for those big brands are too high, and many require cities with a population of over a million. They look down on small counties with hundreds of thousands of people!"
"But Meitehao does not have such requirements. Furthermore, it is currently a critical moment for Meitehao after its restructuring, and it urgently needs franchisees like me to join and achieve win-win results. I believe that by choosing to join at this time, your company will offer great discounts in all aspects!"
Qin Chuan spoke clearly and coherently, quickly stating the two reasons, which left Minister Xue and Manager Feng in a daze.
The young man sitting opposite them had indeed hit the nail on the head, grasping all the key points.
Suddenly, at this moment, clear applause came from behind. Minister Xue and Manager Feng looked up, and upon seeing who had arrived, they felt as if needles had been pricked into their bottoms. They immediately stood up, their expressions filled with reverence, and shouted in unison, "Mr. Chu!"
At the same time, others in the office also showed respectful expressions.
Mr. Chu?!
Qin Chuan and Chen Jinyu, who had been facing Minister Xue and Manager Feng, slowly turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with an imposing demeanor standing behind them at some point.
He was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a well-fitting suit, his tie meticulously tied, his face like jade, possessing a gentle yet authoritative demeanor, and exuding great charisma.
This was the founder of Meitehao, the famous Chu Dequn, who in his later life would create a colossal retail empire worth hundreds of billions, undoubtedly one of the most outstanding entrepreneurs.
Qin Chuan recognized Chu Dequn at a glance. In his previous life, he had admired this face and aspired to become a successful entrepreneur like Chu Dequn.
Now, encountering him by chance here, Qin Chuan's heart was also a little excited.
"Hello, Mr. Chu!"
He immediately stood up from his chair. Chen Jinyu, beside him, also realized who the newcomer was, a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and followed by saying, "Hello, Mr. Chu!"
"Haha, you two young men are quite interesting!"
Chu Dequn's demeanor was friendly, with a smile all over his face.
"Especially you, I heard every word you just said. It was very interesting!"
Chu Dequn pointed at Qin Chuan and said with a smile.
"Heh heh, those were just a few of my personal opinions. I don't like to beat around the bush, so I spoke directly!"
"If I said anything wrong, I hope Mr. Chu won't mind!"
Qin Chuan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
He really hadn't expected that the great Mr. Chu would come as soon as he said, and stand behind him, hearing all their conversation.
He truly didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse!
However, seeing Chu Dequn's friendly smile and kind demeanor, not only was he not angry, but he seemed to appreciate it, which made Qin Chuan a lot calmer.
