Chapter 293 Decision
After Lin Shu finished his introduction, he did not forget to add: "The scale of our company has not yet been formally established. When the scale of the company expands, we will continue to establish the personnel department, marketing department, quality inspection department and other departments."
Li Siwen nodded in agreement, then introduced Zhang Xiaolong, Chang Hai, and Zhao Jian respectively, and ordered everyone to sit around the conference table.
In the conference room, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Li Siwen also restrained his kind-hearted expression and said bluntly: "I have just finished my polite words with everyone. The next topic is today's topic. Yangdu Group's attitude towards us
The acquisition issue of Xiyou Group.”
As soon as Li Siwen said these words, everyone sighed at the same time, especially the newcomers, who began to murmur in low voices.
"I just said I want to be acquired!"
"This kind of thing shouldn't come out of nowhere!"
"Yes, it would be too easy for Yangdu Group to acquire us."
"Ahem!" Li Siwen coughed twice: "I can see from your reactions that everyone has at least half trust in the acquisition. Everyone in our group believes in this matter, so other workers include
The market will be more convinced of this."
Li Siwen paused slightly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that Yangdu Group has contacted me twice and really wants to acquire us, not only the Qizhou market but also the Caozhou headquarters. However, I did not agree."
After Li Siwen finished speaking, he scanned everyone's expressions and found that there was obviously a trace of doubt and worry in everyone's eyes.
"You don't have to whisper in a low voice. Since I put this issue on the surface, I just want to hear your opinions."
After Li Siwen finished speaking, he put his hands on the conference table. After waiting for a few minutes, he found that no one said anything and said, "In this case, Xiao Zhong, as the manager of the sales department, you should know the situation in the market best. It's better to talk about it."
Tell me what you think!"
After Zhong Xia stood up, she felt a little embarrassed and said softly: "Mr. Li, to be honest, this topic is quite sensitive. I don't know how to say it."
"You can say whatever you want, no matter good or bad, I can't blame you." Li Siwen showed a smile: "Go ahead, I just want to hear your opinions."
"Okay, although the fact that Yangdu wanted to acquire us was only published in the newspaper yesterday, there were already some rumors in the past two days. I don't know who started the rumor, saying that Yangdu was trying to block us in the market.
Acquisition is the only option, otherwise Xiyou will go bankrupt. I didn't believe the news at the time, but I soon saw the relevant information in the newspaper, and I also heard that Mr. Li was already in contact with Yangdu Group." Zhong Xia was helpless.
He smiled: "We all know this."
After Zhong Xia finished speaking, everyone else nodded.
After listening to this, Li Siwen gradually understood that after Zhang Bing finished talking to him, he had already begun to set a trap for Caozhou.
"Let's not talk about the cause and effect of the matter. I want to know what you think about the acquisition." Li Siwen asked.
"As the manager of the sales department, I know the market very well. Since the newspaper published yesterday, our sales in Caozhou have dropped by 10%. On the contrary, the sales of Yangdu ham have increased a lot. The market responded so quickly
, it is entirely because of this rumor that consumers have distrust in our products.
Moreover, some rumors about our Westward Journey being insolvent and the Westward Journey capital chain being broken have also arisen with the wind." Zhong Xia took a deep breath: "To put it simply, if the Yangdu Group continues to build momentum for public opinion, then from the market
A price war with us will quickly crush us, and that's what I'm worried about."
After Zhong Xia finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Li Siwen.
"You're right, continue." Li Siwen nodded.
"Okay, I look at it from a sales perspective. You naturally have your intentions in refusing the acquisition, but in front of a wild beast like Yangdu, we Westward Journey really have no room to fight back. Even if we urgently clarify the acquisition now, it will be difficult for us to do so.
To recover the losses in the market, not to mention being blocked by Yangdu Group in the market."
"You mean, since we can't compete with Yangdu, being acquired wouldn't be a bad thing, right?" Li Siwen asked back.
"If Yangdu Group can spread Westward Journey products nationwide and make Westward Journey the next successful sub-brand of Yangdu, it may not be a bad thing for us." After Zhong Xia finished speaking, she quickly added: "Li
Sir, I’m not going against you, I’m just expressing my opinion, and apart from me, the dozen or so employees in the entire sales department are not very optimistic either.”
Li Siwen glanced at everyone and found that after everyone heard Zhong Xia's words, except for Chang Hai, Lin Shu and others, they all nodded slightly. Obviously, he had the right idea before the meeting. A rumor shook the morale of the troops in Journey to the West.
.
"Xiao Zhang, you are the manager of the purchasing department, please tell me your opinion." Li Siwen asked Zhong Xia to sit down and looked at 20-year-old Zhang Dan.
"Mr. Li, my opinion is similar to that of Sister Zhong. As the manager of the purchasing department, I have a lot of contact with some merchants in the market. In just one day, no less than a dozen people asked me about the acquisition of Westward Journey. These merchants are most worried
The problem is that we, Westward Journey, have no money now, and we are even more afraid of bad debts once Westward Journey is acquired, so this has also led to a short-term problem with our raw material supply." Zhang Dan sighed: "If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible,
, the problem is likely to expand."
After Zhang Dan finished speaking, Liang Jing also said: "Mr. Li, although our liquidity will not be a problem for the time being, once the problems in all aspects are concentrated, the pressure in the Finance Department will be infinitely magnified."
Li Siwen listened to what the others said, nodded slightly, and then turned to Yu Dabao and Jiang Dapang: "What do you think?"
"Brother Wen, I didn't think too much about it. Anyway, you just make the decision. At worst, I will go back and sell chicken essence." Jiang Dapang smiled honestly, and Yu Dabao scratched his head and said, "I don't know what to say, but
Everything should be based on the interests of the company. If Yangdu is determined to deal with us, we really have no way to fight back."
"Lin Shu, tell me your opinion." Li Siwen looked at Lin Shu and said.
"The problems mentioned by the boss, Zhong Xia, Zhang Dan, and Liang Jing do exist, and they are also the biggest dilemma facing our Westward Journey Group. The wind coming from Yangdu has been very clear. If we refuse the acquisition, they will block us. This
They are clearly forcing us to submit, and they also want to disrupt us from within Journey to the West." Lin Shu coughed lightly: "So, there are only two ways before us, either accept or reject. I don't have any special opinions, everything is fine.
