843. Chapter 843 How can a husband ask for a wife?
Lei Ren came to Qiqi Auto Beauty Shop, and Liu Qiqi immediately called Lei Ren into the office.
Liu Qiqi put a report on her desk anxiously, pointed to the data on it and said to Lei Ren: "Brother Lei, our parts supplier suddenly increased the cost by 30%, which made it impossible for us to get the goods."
."
Lei Ren pinched his chin and asked, "Do you know the reason?"
Liu Qiqi shook her head and said: "This price increase came very suddenly. I didn't expect it at all, and there was no warning in the market. I called them to discuss it, but all their leaders were on business trips for meetings and vacations. The only thing
One of the people who got through directly told me not to ask any more questions, because it was impossible for suppliers in Chengdu to supply goods to us."
Lei Ren rubbed his temples. It seemed that this matter was much more complicated than it appeared on the surface. It was no longer a simple business transaction.
Liu Qiqi leaned her head over, lowered her voice and said to Lei Ren: "Brother Lei, I suspect this is man-made!"
"Man-made?" Lei Ren repeated, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
Usually price increases are affected by the market, costs and supply and demand. Even if the price increases, the price will not increase so much at once without any warning.
To be able to raise the price so much in such a short period of time must be under the instruction of someone. It is clear that they do not want to give the supply to Qiqi Auto Beauty Shop. In other words, it is revenge.
Lei Ren took out his cell phone and said to Liu Qiqi: "Since someone did this deliberately, let me investigate this matter." Then he dialed Zeng Hongfei's number.
"Hey, Xiao Zeng, I need you to send someone to investigate something." Lei Ren told Zeng Hongfei what happened, and then asked, "This matter is quite urgent, please help me handle it as soon as possible.
And keep it confidential."
Zeng Hongfei immediately agreed: "Brother Lei, don't worry, I'll find someone to investigate right away and get back to you tonight."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lei Ren hung up the phone, and then said to Liu Qiqi, "I have already asked people to investigate. I believe that with their ability, the results should be available soon."
Liu Qiqi nodded, and then said anxiously: "Brother Lei, not only do we need to know who is attacking us, but we also need to find a way immediately to get the goods from other channels, otherwise the opening of the branch will be delayed."
Lei Ren nodded. They had already sent out the invitations. Many of them were big names. If the branch couldn't be opened on time, Qiqi Auto Beauty Shop would be a joke in the end!
Lei Ren held his chin and muttered: "We can't get the goods from the supplier in Chengdu, so can we get the goods from other places?"
Liu Qiqi explained to Lei Ren: "Our business is different from traditional operations. It is generally not divided by region, but by the level of suppliers. Our store is a relatively small one, so we supply
The parts are all third-tier suppliers. If we can directly find the second-tier suppliers to supply them, there will be no problem. But...the second-tier suppliers supply them to large 4S stores."
Lei Ren pondered for a moment and said to Liu Qiqi: "Qiqi, please write down the brand name of the second-tier supplier, and I will call and ask."
"Oh!" Liu Qiqi quickly searched for the names of a group of suppliers on the computer, and then used the printer to print one for Lei Ren.
Lei Ren is not very familiar with the car detailing industry, so he has never heard of these names, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to read them.
Lei Ren thought for a while and decided to call Liu Tiancheng.
Although Shang Qianxun's company is powerful, it seems to have nothing to do with the automobile industry.
"Tiancheng, does your business involve auto parts?" Lei Ren asked straight to the point, "I want to find some suppliers."
Liu Tiancheng asked the people around him and replied to Lei Ren: "There are some, but not completely."
"Then let me name a few suppliers. Do you recognize them?" Lei Ren read out the names of the parts suppliers that Liu Qiqi had written to him, and then asked Liu Tiancheng, "Do you have any from your family?"
Liu Tiancheng shook his head and said: "Brother Lei, there is not one. I have never even heard of it."
"That's...ok! I'll ask the others." Lei Ren could only smile bitterly at Liu Qiqi. Unexpectedly, Liu Tiancheng hadn't even heard of it.
Lei Ren was about to hang up when Liu Tiancheng suddenly shouted: "Brother Lei, don't hang up the phone just yet. I have two suppliers here. You can see if it works. One is Mijiling and the other is Universal."
Lei Ren didn't know anything about this industry, so he had to ask Liu Tiancheng to wait a moment, then turned to Liu Qiqi and said: "Qiqi, my friend said that he has two suppliers here - Mijiling and Universal, I don't know... Qiqi
Qi, what’s wrong with you?”
Before Lei Ren finished speaking, he saw Liu Qiqi's face full of excitement and excitement, as if she had seen a pile of RMB that completely covered her.
"Brother Lei, did you know? Mijiling and Global are both top suppliers, and they occupy almost one-third of the global market." Liu Qiqi was so excited that she reached out and took Lei Ren's hand.
"So, is that okay?" Lei Ren smiled coquettishly and asked Liu Qiqi.
Liu Qiqi said excitedly: "Of course! If Mijilin and Universal become our direct suppliers, our company will immediately jump to the next level."
"Since it's possible, that's fine." Lei Ren smiled at Liu Qiqi, picked up the phone and said to Liu Tiancheng, "Tiancheng, your two companies are completely consistent. When do you think you can give us the goods?"
Liu Tiancheng asked his subordinates and said to Lei Ren: "Brother Lei, you don't have these two branches in Chengdu yet, so if you want to get the goods, you have to come to the capital. Look..."
"No problem, I can send someone over at any time." Lei Ren agreed.
Liu Tiancheng nodded and said: "That's OK! You send the order form to an email address, and I will immediately notify them to cooperate and try to deliver the goods tomorrow."
"Then thank you very much!" Lei Ren said with a smile.
"Haha, you're just saying this, aren't you?" Liu Tiancheng smiled slightly, said "goodbye" to Lei Ren, and then hung up the phone.
Lei Ren put the phone in his pocket and was about to raise his head when he saw Liu Qiqi looking at him dreamily, still holding his hand, and couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment.
When Liu Qiqi heard Lei Ren's cough, she came to her senses and realized that she had grabbed his hand. She couldn't help but blush, as if she had been bitten by a snake, and instantly withdrew her hand from Lei Ren's hand.
When you come back, it’s hard to look at Thunder Blade with your head down.
Lei Ren coughed twice, changed the subject and said, "Qiqi, I have already taken care of the matter. I just need to send someone to Beijing to get the goods."
"Ah...oh!" Liu Qiqi came to her senses, changed her working state again, and said to Lei Ren: "If we can get their supply, our company will instantly upgrade several levels, so I think I should personally
go."
Lei Ren shook his head and said: "The work here cannot be done without you, so I'd better go to the capital!"
Liu Qiqi pondered for a moment, nodded towards Lei Ren and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Brother Lei to go there in person."
Lei Ren smiled and said, "It sounds like it's not my company."
Liu Qiqi blushed, but said nothing more.
…
Lei Ren returned home and cooked a sumptuous lunch. Su Biyu did not go home, only he and Su Biluo ate, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little full.
Lei Ren picked up the dishes and was about to go into the kitchen to wash them when Su Biluo stood up from the sofa and said with a smile: "I'll wash it!"
"You? Let's forget it! Auntie, just sit on the sofa and watch TV. I won't bother you with such a small matter." Lei Ren shook his head and walked in with the bowls and chopsticks.
However, as soon as Lei Ren walked into the kitchen, his cell phone on the sofa rang.
"Come out and answer the phone, Xiao Zeng called you." Su Biluo took the phone to the kitchen door, leaned against the kitchen door and said to Lei Ren.
Lei Ren shook his head helplessly, wiped his hands, picked up the cell phone handed over by Su Biluo, and walked outside.
"Hey!" Thunder Blade responded.
Zeng Hongfei said on the phone: "Brother Lei, you asked me to check. I have already found some clues. It is probably related to Hu..."
Lei Ren couldn't help but flash a sharp look when he heard it, and said to Zeng Hongfei calmly: "Xiao Zeng, where are you now? I'll go there right away."
Zeng Hongfei replied: "I'm at the Tuberose Bar now!"
"Okay, I'll be here in a moment." Lei Ren said and hung up the phone.
Lei Ren walked back to the kitchen and saw Su Biluo wearing an apron and washing the dishes carefully by the sink. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't I tell you to let me do it?"
While washing the dishes, Su Biluo squinted her eyes and said, "Sister, I'm not as fragile as you think. It doesn't matter if you wash the dishes."
"You know how to show off your talents. If something happens, you won't even have time to regret it." Lei Ren shook his head.
Hearing this, Su Biluo suddenly raised her eyebrows and hummed with a straight face: "You cursed me and the child?"
"I didn't, I just..." Before Lei Ren could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Biluo.
"Okay, I'm kidding you!" Su Biluo rolled her eyes at Lei Ren and asked, "Xiao Zeng called me just now, are you going out again?"
"Yeah!" Lei Ren nodded.
Su Biluo said cheerfully: "Then you go ahead and leave everything in the kitchen to me."
"But..." Lei Ren hesitated.
Su Biluo raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry: "If you don't leave, I won't let you out."
Although he knew that Su Biluo was joking, Lei Ren was still very moved. He walked over to Su Biluo's forehead, kissed her gently, and said from the bottom of his heart: "With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!
