Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 573 Fruit Supply
Sheng Siyu was stunned for a second by her question.

what?
fruit?

Ah, right, right, they ate with a few people from the front desk earlier.

But does Mr. Xue know this?
After thinking about it carefully, Sheng Siyu realized it wasn't surprising.

Their front desk is monitored by surveillance cameras. Although the bosses may not be able to keep an eye on it all the time, they will check it occasionally.

In addition, the front office manager will also report on some matters, and they might even mention them in private conversations.

So, it's not surprising.

However, Mr. Xue didn't seem to dislike this kind of thing.

So, they probably don't want to hold anyone accountable for this, but rather ask about other things.

After thinking it over for a moment, Sheng Siyu smiled and nodded, "Replying to President Xue, the fruit from my sister's place is indeed quite good."

When you speak, you should be a little more humble.

Therefore, Sheng Siyu carefully chose her words so as not to appear too arrogant.

Seeing her serious expression, President Xue almost laughed, and she wanted to help Sheng Siyu relax a bit.

However, in such a relationship, even if she says she's relaxed, the other person may not necessarily relax. They might even have to pretend to relax in order to play her role, which would be even more tiring.

Having figured it out, Mr. Xue didn't say anything more and went straight to the point: "We're hosting a rather important group next week, and I've been worried about procuring fruit lately. Headquarters has already given us quite a few options, but I've used all of those fruits before, and they're really just so-so. But I've heard that the fruit from your sister's place tastes really good, and I'd like you to help me ask if they can supply it in bulk?"

"We'll use it as daily fruit for the guest rooms. We don't need a lot of it, but it's best to use premium fruit that looks good and keeps well."

"The tour group's stay should be seven days. The purchasing department will give me the quantity of fruit we need in a bit. Could you ask your sister if she can provide it? We can negotiate the price."

……

The headquarters mainly purchases imported fruits, some of which are directly sourced by air, and the prices are not cheap.

Although the costs are shared among stores in different locations, if there is a more convenient option and the cost is relatively reasonable, purchasing locally would better align with the headquarters' purchasing philosophy and expectations.

Of course, the headquarters' primary concern is quality.

Daily fruit supplies can be sourced locally, and the quality and appearance of the fruit are relatively good.

However, for special or important receptions, even the fruits served are carefully selected.

Sheng Siyu had already been guessing in her mind what President Xue meant by asking about this matter.

Now that I hear it, it's pretty much what she guessed.

Sheng Siyu had asked about the fruit once during a chat between the two sisters.

Sheng Jiu's answer at the time was that the supplier occasionally had them, but the variety was uncertain.

So, she wasn't sure how to answer. After careful consideration, she replied to President Xue, "President Xue, I need to ask about my sister's situation in more detail. Maybe I can ask her after I get off work?"

President Xue was not surprised that Sheng Siyu would say that.

After all, the final decision on this matter rested with Sheng Siyu's sister, so her consent was definitely required.

So she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your trouble. I'll need to trouble your sister to prepare a quote later. If she's not good at this, I can have Manager Sun from the purchasing department help her."

This whole thing was initiated by the hotel itself.

In addition, what they need is indeed urgent.

Therefore, if possible, Mr. Xue can help arrange all the follow-up matters.

Sheng Siyu called Sheng Jiu first.

No one answered.

She wasn't in a hurry.

Knowing that Sheng Jiu was busy, he would naturally call her back when he had some free time. When Sheng Jiu returned from picking cockleburs, she saw Sheng Siyu's missed call and quickly called her back first.

After learning about the fruit, she quickly explained to Sheng Siyu, "The fruit came from the supplier, and my shop doesn't have any fruit sales permits, so it doesn't comply with the procedures."

If this kind of thing isn't exposed, nothing will happen.

What I fear most is that someone might eat your food, find it delicious, and then report you, stabbing you in the back.

Sheng Jiu had seen far too many things like this.

Therefore, in all matters, even between close sisters, one cannot go against the procedures and risk trouble.

If it can be done through the process, then do it through the process.

Although the fruit all comes from my place, the process still requires going through the company.

Sheng Siyu was not surprised by this, and even told her about the company's plans. She also acted as a go-between, connecting Sheng Jiu and Manager Sun with each other's contact information.

After all, Sheng Jiu still needs to act as a go-between in this matter.

Manager Sun never intended to bypass Sheng Jiu and directly connect with the other party's purchasing company.

After a series of cumbersome procedures, the system quickly provided a quote.

After seeing this, Manager Sun calculated the costs and made a comparison, finding that it was more cost-effective than purchasing directly from headquarters and then distributing to hotels in various locations.

Moreover, according to feedback from the front-of-house manager, the quality of the fruit is indeed good.

They need to review the samples and then send them back to headquarters for feedback.

Although they each suffered losses.

However, some procurement matters are still handled by headquarters.

To put it bluntly, although they are essentially flying solo, some cost controls are still decided by headquarters, so they can't really go very far.

These things can take three or four days to resolve.

By the time Sheng Siyu's hotel had completed the procedures and confirmed the procurement contract, it was already Saturday.

At this point, there were only three days left before their hotel hosted their VIP guests for the following week.

Sheng Jiu needs to make preparations within two days and deliver the fruit before 6 a.m. on the third day.

After they finish cleaning the guest rooms, they will place the corresponding fruit on them to make the reception even more perfect.

Although some fruits can be stored overnight without any problems.

However, most fruits will show obvious signs of staleness after being stored overnight.

Therefore, picking and placing the produce immediately will achieve the best visual effect.

In the past few days, Sheng Jiu hardly needed to worry about anything, as the system handled most of the work.

She spent three days picking cockleburs, then had the system process them into powder, and finally shipped them out according to the orders provided by Sheng Zexuan.

At the same time, there's also Sheng Jiu's own side.

Many classmates and friends didn't believe in Sheng Jiu's products before.

After all, I've made too many mistakes because of rhinitis.

Some people will think of taking some medicine when they feel particularly unwell.

Since we can't get rid of it completely anyway, let's just leave it at that.

However, some people find it really effective.

At least, they didn't feel uncomfortable during the season when willow catkins were flying everywhere!

That's great!
The second update will be at 19 PM.
