002 Supply Chain

 On October 21st, the weather in Shanghai cooled down slightly.

After Fang Zhuo got up, he first bought breakfast, then had dinner with his mother, aunt, and sister before taking Zhao Suqi to the company.

She had only been in Shanghai for two or three days, and her mother already couldn't stay any longer. During the meal, she kept saying she wanted to go back. Fang Zhuo persuaded her to go shopping with her aunt with the money card that the venture capital investment had given her to improve her life.

There was a slight delay. It was already half past nine when we arrived at the company, and all Yikeli's employees were here.

Fang Zhuo walked in front, neither fast nor slow.

Zhao Suqi followed behind, listening to the greetings of "Mr. Fang, hello" and "Mr. Fang is here" all the way, which was particularly novel.

When approaching the president's office, Fang Zhuo turned around and asked his assistant: "Have you summarized yesterday's sales? Where is Mr. Yu's plan?"

"The summary table is on your desk. Mr. Yu will be connected at ten o'clock." Administrative Assistant Yuan Zhen replied quickly.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, pushed open the office door and motioned for his sister to go forward, and then he walked in.

Tea has been brewed on the desk in the CEO's office, and several documents are placed in front of the computer.

Fang Zhuo sat down and couldn't wait to open yesterday's business summary table.

Before waiting for a minute, administrative assistant Yuan Zhen came in with a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhao Suqi.

Zhao Suqi thanked her repeatedly and watched as this beautiful sister smiled at him and quietly left. Fang Zhuo behind the desk did not say a word the whole time.

She thought for a while and said, "Brother, she is so attentive. Because she didn't expect me to follow, why did she immediately pour the tea in?"

"Probably." Fang Zhuo said casually, "I'm going to transfer her out of her post and try her in other departments."

Zhao Suqi was stunned: "Why?"

Fang Zhuo didn't answer.

Zhao Suqi guessed: "Brother, it's not because she didn't tell you the treatment situation in the hospital the day before yesterday, right? Don't, I asked her to hide it from you..."

Fang Zhuo put down the summary table, closed his eyes and thought for a while before answering this inconsequential question: "No, Xiao Yuan thinks a little too much."

What's the reason for this?

The little girl was confused. She wanted to ask but saw that her brother was thinking, so she didn't ask.

A few minutes later, Fang Zhuo called Su Wei in via the internal phone.

"Teacher Xiao Su, have you read yesterday's summary?"

Su Wei nodded to Zhao Suqi and replied: "Look, do you have any questions?"

"The five stores have a total of 800 units. Why does the one in Pengcheng have 200 more units than the other four?" Fang Zhuo found it strange. Logically speaking, Shanghai and Beijing should have the most, because these two places have more offline promotions.

.

"Oh, Dahong told me about this last night. Penguin purchased 150 units, which is considered a compliment." Su Wei explained.

Fang Zhuoran understood that it was so.

I was busy with my boss last night, so I didn't know about this.

He smiled slightly: "Brother Xiaoma is a careful person, but even so, Pengcheng with Xiaoyu in charge still sells more than other stores."

Su Wei nodded: "Yangcheng is the least, with only 72 units, but I think it's not bad. After all, the price is quite high. In fact, even excluding the purchase of Penguin, the first-day performance of 650 units has exceeded my expectations."

"This is just the accumulation of early publicity. There are always some rich and curious people who try it. The market performance in the past few days is the most important." Fang Zhuo tapped his fingers on the table and thought, "Wait a minute and

Xiaoyu Lianxian needs to urge her channel construction, which has the greatest impact on the overall situation, especially to be able to roll out mid-range products through this channel before the end of the year."

"Can the mid-range products be shipped before the end of the year?" Su Wei asked.

"Teacher Xu said there is no problem. With the M1 product as a reference, it will be very fast to use it as a template to downgrade. The only key issue is whether to use flash storage." Fang Zhuo said this, and the internal phone rang again.

Already.

I picked up the phone and hung up. After a while, Sun Qi, the deputy director in charge of supply chain, walked in. He was also scheduled to report the situation today last night.

"Qiqi, make tea for Mr. Sun." Fang Zhuo ordered to his ignorant sister.

Sun Qi met the boss's sister for the first time. When she saw that she was bald, she took a second look. He stepped forward to hand her a cigarette and said happily: "Mr. Fang, 800 units were very good yesterday. There is hope that we can achieve our goal by the end of the year.

"

Fang Zhuo waved his hand: "My sister has just been discharged from the hospital, so let's stop smoking. As for the target of 10,000 units, haha, I think we have to work harder and it depends on the effectiveness of marketing."

Sun Qi woke up and put away the cigarette, took the tea from Zhao Suqi, turned to the boss and talked about his business: "Mr. Fang, if we only make the lowest flash memory of 128M, the cost of P1 alone can be reduced by 485 yuan.

about."

"What about the overall cost?" Fang Zhuo asked with concern.

Sun Qi contacted the storage manufacturer last night with the general intention. He went through all the links in his mind and said with certainty: "If it is mid-range positioning, display modules, control chips and other things will be reduced, 1000

One yuan can stop it.”

He continued: "The problem is that 128M flash memory is cheaper from Hitachi. Toshiba's price is about 20% higher. Moreover, the contract has priority for our company's products."

Fang Zhuo said without hesitation: "Simple, we originally planned to acquire a domestic factory to build our own, and buy a vest like this from Hitachi. Toshiba has already changed our contract once, why should we be polite to it?"

Sun Qi nodded, he also preferred to do this because he was afraid that the boss would insist on business ethics.

Regarding this matter, like his old friend Xu Keden, he thinks it is not easy to break the contract to avoid Toshiba pursuing the contract. The vest is not a panacea, and the final product has to flow to the market.

"Our advertisement on CCTV has just been launched, and the price of M1 is relatively high. At this time, we must act quickly. If we compete with Toshiba, both supply and price reduction, for the past six months, our advertisements have been for other manufacturers.

Clothes."

Fang Zhuo believed that this matter must be made clear, and directly finalized: "Not only must we use the cheapest Hitachi products, but other parts must also use substitute domestic products as much as possible, so as to reduce costs and avoid being constrained by foreigners."

Sun Qi didn't take it seriously when he heard this. It's worth noting that Toshiba has a criminal record. How can other parts manufacturers be in trouble by such a coincidence?

Fang Zhuo noticed the vice president's look and reminded: "In two days, the American company will also announce a similar product. It uses Toshiba parts. Everyone purchases them globally. It cannot be ruled out that other parts may also be used.

possible."

Sun Qi's expression became more serious.

"Mr. Sun, you have to pay attention. Before contacting Toshiba, the United States had to sign an exclusive supply agreement. This is why it changed our contract." Fang Zhuoran said.

There is no doubt that Apple's supply chain is extremely excellent. Even if it is not so successful now, it can be seen from the fact that it must be exclusive from the beginning of procurement.

Because of this, Yike's price for purchasing goods from Toshiba is slightly higher. This is also thanks to the other party. Toshiba's production capacity has been divided, and the supply and demand relationship has changed.

But, business matters are normal. Companies in these two countries will not pay attention to the feelings of a Chinese brand.
