Almi doesn't want to see Lu Feng at all now. Nokia has begun to turn in a good direction. It is expected that the European market will completely open up and their technological foundation is about to explode.
Almi knew very well what Lu Feng was thinking. He just wanted to use sales channels in exchange for some technical cooperation with Nokia.
But they had already obtained the sales channel of Jiafeng Electronics, the contract had been signed, and they didn't want to pay anything else. Almi had a headache, so he picked up the phone and called his consultant.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, and a white woman in her forties walked in. She was slightly stout and said to Almi: "Honey, what can I do for you?"
"Monica, you know, we are using the sales channel of Jiafeng Electronics here. This contract was obtained at a very cheap price. The reason why there is such a contract is because the CEO of this company is very
He likes me, and on the other hand, he hopes to cooperate with us in the field of research and development." Almi explained the matter and showed Monica the contract he signed.
Monica, an American, has been working at the headquarters before. This time she was sent to be Almi's consultant, which in itself shows her importance to Almi.
After reading the contract, Monica saw that this was the concession a licking dog made when expressing her love, and said to Almy: "Almy, do you know what your greatest ability is?"
"Looks!"
"Wow, you know yourself very well, so do you like him?" Monica asked.
"Not really, but I could feel before that his patience with me was slowly dissipating and he was starting to become more utilitarian, especially when it came to promoting pagers." Almi spread his hands, looking a little nervous.
have no choice.
"Actually, you don't have to worry at all. For a person like this, he doesn't dare to do anything to you because he has greed in his heart. He may try to get angry with you, but as soon as you really get angry, he will start to be afraid.
I have completely lost you." Monica leaned on the chair and said: "Let me tell you, I had many suitors when I was young, and sometimes I needed some means to keep them entertained."
"So what do you mean?" Almi already knew something in her heart.
"Show your arrogance. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she has to show her superiority. Only in this way will those men crazily surrender under your skirt. On the contrary, the more humble you are, the less they care about you!" Mo Ni!
Ka Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Men are all dogs and need to be trained!"
Almi thought for a moment, nodded as if he understood something, picked up the phone on the table and called Lu Feng.
After the call was connected, he said: "Mr. Lu, long time no see."
Lu Feng was sitting in the office, leaning back on the chair and raising his eyebrows: "Mr. Lu? I've been busy for a while recently. Is our relationship so unfamiliar?"
"That's not the case. I've been very busy recently. I just came back from the headquarters some time ago." Almi said into the phone: "The development here is good, and my status in the headquarters has also improved. Now it is the Greater China Region.
As the CEO, Cai Tianlun and others wanted to invite me to dinner some time ago, but I refused."
Monica sat opposite and listened, whispering: "Mention Wall Street and your participation in some celebrities' private banquets and so on."
"I'm really busy, flying around. I spend a lot of time on Wall Street, attending some high-end private dinners, such as Gates, Soros, and even some very powerful leaders. You know, the leaders there are willing to follow
Contacted by these businessmen." Almi boasted.
After hearing what she said, Lu Feng felt a little unhappy. She was bragging on him. If it were an ordinary man, after hearing these words, he would feel that he was not on the same level as others, as if he was too high to reach.
Lu Feng is different. Even when he was poor, let alone being rich now, he would not do this to her.
"Really? Don't go to those useless banquets. They used to send them to me often, but I didn't have time to go. By the way, the Ruixin Laboratory I told you before has officially completed the process. My thoughts are still the same.
Start cooperating with you." Lu Feng mentioned the laboratory very directly.
"This matter is still being discussed at the headquarters. It mainly depends on your sincerity. Now, our Nokia is no longer the original Nokia. Don't underestimate the change in just over two months. The change is still huge."
Almi looked at Monica opposite, who was whispering to her that she wanted to suppress Lu Feng.
"In any case, we are also an international company, and Jiafeng Electronics is just a mainland company. I don't want to say it, but there is indeed a gap in this regard. Although I like you very much, I can't make the decision.
." There was a bit of arrogance in Almi's voice, as if the words "international enterprise" had made her worth rise.
"If that doesn't work, how about we meet and chat?"
Monica on the other end waved her hand to signal her to hang up, and Almi said: "I have something else to do. If you want to meet, there is a dinner hosted by the Communications Association the day after tomorrow. Let's meet there. Hang up."
After speaking, Almi hung up the phone and said to Monica, "How was it?"
"Very good, this matter has to be left hanging. Let me tell you, you can't let him despair, and you can't let him get it right away. If you should suppress him, suppress him. If you should give him a sweet date, give him a sweet date. You are pulling.
Let him draw more blood, and at the same time delay the time. What the headquarters means is that cooperative research and development is not impossible, but it just needs to show more 'sincerity'." Monica obviously has no idea how to do it in the future.
He has experienced experience in obtaining more profits in business negotiations.
Almi smiled at her, obviously she was very satisfied with this consultant.
Lu Feng looked at the phone in his hand and smiled. This result was expected. It was already May, and Lu Feng didn't have much time to bother with them.
There are still a lot of things lined up behind.
There was a knock on the office door, and a clerk walked in and said, "Mr. Lu, the financial meeting is about to start at ten o'clock."
"I almost forgot." Lu Feng stood up and walked towards the door.
In the conference room, more than 30 people were sitting at desks, headed by the group's vice president Bao Gan. The old man is almost sixty years old this year. He used to be the general manager of the Agricultural Bank of China. He has extensive experience in finance, taxation, risk control, and investment.
It is absolutely top-notch in the country.
But after coming to Jiafeng Electronics for a year, he also had a headache, because no matter what department said, Lu Feng would always think it was nonsense. Other departments were fine, but at most the projects were losing or making profits. The financial department was short of money, and the entire group couldn't bear it.
Lu Feng walked in and sat down on the chair and said: "Let's get started. The first half of the year has passed soon. How is our financial situation?"
"Mr. Lu, let me first report to you the group's various expenditures in the first half of the year, especially the increase in expenditures on business banquets, reimbursements, business trips, and training..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Feng knew that the old man was going to yell at him again. Ever since Mr. Bao took charge of finance, the finance department had been making a fuss. Asking for money was like killing him. Many department heads called to complain.
account.
"There is no need to talk about these details, how is the overall situation?" Lu Feng asked.
"There was too much support in the first half of the year. Without last year's financing, we might not have been able to survive. In the five months of the first half of this year, the total expenditure was 1.76 billion. The largest expenditure was the acquisition of Ruixin Laboratory.
The remaining expenditures include the construction budget of the group headquarters building, investment in the new factory in Tianjin, plus employee wages, taxes, daily expenses, etc."
Mr. Bao raised his wrinkled eyelids, glanced at Lu Feng with cloudy eyes, and said: "Wepuda's sales in the first half of this year were average, all supported by VCDs. Pager sales are good, but they have just begun.
So the loss in the first half of the year is expected to be around RMB 800 million. Why can we continue to do it? I transferred all these losses to dealers and suppliers. We issued IOUs to them and we took them in our hands.
cash."
"This is very good. The financial pressure should not be borne by our family. Since we have chosen a big family like Jiafeng Electronics, we should face the wind and rain and pressure together." Lu Feng asked Mr. Bao: "How much is the overall expected profit this year?
?”
profit?
The financial executives present did not dare to look at Lu Feng. The boss actually still wanted to make a profit. That was a hole of more than 800 million yuan. It was just like asking them to make 800 million yuan in turnover, but the net profit was 800 million yuan.
, that would really kill people, unless the sales of Wepuda and Jiaxun pagers continue to surge in the second half of the year.
Otherwise, the gap of more than 800 million will increase, because in the second half of the year, advertising, marketing, and part of the supplier payments need to be settled.
There was some silence at the scene. Mr. Bao coughed and said: "Mr. Lu, the reverse profit is expected to be within one billion this year. We had a meeting with Mr. Wei a few days ago. Regarding the current group situation, it is best to maintain it well."
Market, please don't make other expansionary moves. It only takes one year to make the debt problem less prominent, and within three years, companies will be particularly relaxed."
"That means you have no fucking money again, right?" Lu Feng frowned and rubbed his face with his hands.
"Mr. Lu, businesses are just like ordinary people living their lives. Money has to be accumulated. If you get money from outside, you can spend it. If you get money, you can spend it. Then people from outside must say something."
Mr. Bao said it very politely. According to his metaphor, Lu Feng was a prodigal. After borrowing money from outside, he spent a lot of money and bought things.
"If there is no further expansion now, the biggest expenditure is employee wages. The monthly salary expenditure is 40 million, which is close to 80,000 people. Each of these people can save 80 yuan per month by reducing the amount of 100 yuan.
One million, besides, the per capita salary of 400 yuan is already very high, and the salary we give our employees is nearly 100% higher than the market." Mr. Bao expressed his inner thoughts to Lu Feng.
"The average person earns 500 yuan, and I have to dig out 100 yuan, and then every month 80,000 people will lower their heads and curse my eighteenth generation ancestors." Lu Feng leaned on the chair and pondered: "If I
I went to Xiangjiang to make one billion or eighty billion, and when I came back, at most three or five people would scold me for being the eighteenth generation of my ancestors. Mr. Bao, the method you gave me is not cost-effective!"
