Half an hour later, the group's high-level conference room.
After everyone arrived, I stood up, cleared my throat and said, "It seems that everyone knows that our trading company has another problem, and this time the problem is not big."
Vice President Liu Yongming asked me: "Director Chen, what is going on? Why is it so sudden?"
I took a deep breath and said calmly: "Actually, it's not sudden. In fact, it has happened for several days. Our goods were rejected by Fenix. According to the current news, it was a domestic company called Entu International Trading.
I'm currently investigating this company for the tricks they did, and our goods are still stranded at sea."
When I said this, the conference room instantly became lively, and everyone started whispering to each other.
"Quiet! I'm telling you this just to tell you that from the day you entered the company, we were in the same boat, and we all shouldered a lot of things together. Now the storm is coming. You can't point it out.
The captain is at the helm alone and everyone works together to pull the rope when it is time to pull the rope and hoist the sail when it is time to do so.”
As I said that, I paused and added: "I hope you can trust me and that the group will be able to survive this storm."
Everyone gradually calmed down, and I took a deep breath. In fact, this was what I was thinking.
In fact, I don't quite agree with An Lan's approach. In order to avoid panic among employees, she concealed the truth.
But I think that at this time, we can better reflect the unity of a company and find out the problems of the company.
Gao Sheng continued what I said: "Now listen to me, everyone goes back to work step by step and communicate well with employees in various departments. In addition, the marketing department does a good job in communicating with customers, and the international trade department maintains a good customer base.
The production department will go all out to cooperate with the group to open up new channels, do you understand?"
"I understand." Everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, the meeting is over, everyone should go to your places."
After everyone dispersed, Gao Sheng and I stayed in the conference room, and he handed me a cigarette.
I waved my hand to him to stop smoking, but he didn't try to persuade me, so he lit one himself.
After taking two puffs, he said to me: "What is the thought of the man named Lubi? Is he confident in accepting our goods?"
"He will give me an answer before tomorrow. I think he will agree because I see a passionate energy in him."
"If he accepted it, wouldn't he be afraid of YM's revenge?"
"As long as he dares to take it, I believe he will be able to cope with it."
Gao Sheng took a deep breath from his cigarette and said: "This YM Group is really fucked up! They break the contract casually, but they are still the largest trading company in Europe. Do you want to lose face?"
"It's useless to complain about this now. People also want to make money. I guess this Entu Company has given them benefits."
"What is the origin of Entu Company? How come I have never heard of such a company? Where did it come from?"
I shrugged, expressing my frustration.
Just then, my cell phone rang, and it was the person named Lubi.
I immediately answered the phone and was not in a hurry to ask him, because the initiative was still in my hands. If he realized that I was anxious to sell this batch of goods, then he was lowering the price and I would have no way to bargain.
He first said to me: "Dr. Chen, are you free now?"
"I'm quite busy, but what can I do for you?" I said, pretending to be relaxed.
"It's like this. I thought about it all night yesterday. I can accept this batch of goods. However, in order to ensure the quality of this batch of goods and our future cooperation, I have a request."
"you say."
"I have made an appointment with some European businessmen and want them to visit your company's factory. If they think there is no problem, then we will sign a contract."
Although Lu Rui looks young, he didn't expect to be so experienced in doing things. He looks like someone who is doing big things.
I didn't refuse and said directly: "Okay, but when will those people come?"
"It will be two days later at the latest. Also, Director Chen, there is something I want to remind you."
"you say."
"Do you know why YM Group would rather break the contract than cooperate with you?"
"Do you know the situation?"
"I don't know much about it. I have to say that the quality of your products is very good, but when it comes to clothing, you are really not good at it."
I laughed: "Mr. Lu, are you mistaken? The predecessor of our garment factory is Ruian Textile. You must have heard of it after so many years of business, right?"
"Yes, I know, you haven't talked about the fabric materials, but I'm a bit sorry about the design. I think you should do more foreign market research."
Ruby didn't mean what she said, and she even thought from my perspective, but I felt a little embarrassed after hearing it.
In silence, Lu Lu said to me again: "So, I hope that when those traders come to your company in the next two days, you can come up with a design work that they can recognize."
"In two days, do you think I am a god?"
"Director Chen, this is your business. I am very willing to cooperate with your company. I also appreciate your character, Director Chen. However, in business, I cannot take such a big risk and take over this batch of goods from you.
I hope you understand me."
I took a long breath and said, "Okay, I get it."
"Well, it's settled then. We'll see you in two days."
After hanging up the phone, I closed my eyes, raised my head and slowly let out the depression in my heart.
Gao Sheng suddenly asked me: "What did he say?"
"It makes me feel embarrassed to say that our clothing design is too poor and not suitable for foreign markets."
Gao Sheng sighed and said: "We have ourselves to blame for this. We have been busy with new energy issues a while ago and have neglected our clothing business."
"It's not to say that I'm ignoring you. Please come with me to visit the clothing factory this afternoon."
Gao Sheng nodded and asked me jokingly: "In this situation, are you still in the insurance business?"
I glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "You really don't want to open any pot!"
After lunch, Gao Sheng and I went to the clothing factory.
Now Gulisa is in charge of the garment factory. I asked her to take me around the factory first. The 4S in the factory is doing very well and the production line is running in an orderly manner.
I have looked at several newly released clothing styles. In fact, there are no design flaws, they are just too conventional. And our positioning is in the mid-to-high-end range. If they are too conventional, they will not sell well.
After walking around the factory, I went to Gulisa's office and asked her to show me the sales data for the past month.
You don’t know this by looking at it, but it’s really shocking when you look at it. This sales data can also be said to be cliff-like.
Not long after the new garment factory was established, and at this juncture of transformation, sales began to fluctuate significantly.
Because Ruian's brand has already become popular in China, domestic sales are quite good, because the design elements are more popular among Chinese people.
However, this kind of design is not so popular internationally. Coupled with the positioning of clothing materials, the only sales are probably supported by the Ruian brand.
