The next morning, Lu Lu came to the company with the contract documents.
Before signing the contract, I asked him a question: "Ruby, as soon as we signed this contract, you made it clear that you were going to go against YM. I want to ask you if you have a way to deal with it."
?”
Lupi is a straightforward person. He did not beat around the bush with me and said directly: "Ym is certainly powerful, but Mr. Chen, there is an old saying in China: The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Do you know that?"
"How long have you been in China? You know a lot."
Ruby smiled and said: "This is what you taught me. Knowing yourself and the enemy will always win. Since I want to do business with the Chinese, I naturally need to understand your culture."
I looked at him with admiration, even though he was about the same age as me, but at this moment, he made me feel that he must have some weight in the future European market.
I smiled and nodded, then picked up the pen and signed this important contract.
The two of us stood up and shook hands. He smiled and said to me: "Director Chen, happy cooperation!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
After Lu Lu compiled the contract documents, he said to me: "Director Chen, your cargo at sea can be sent to the port. I have arranged for someone to take over."
"Okay, if you have any questions in the future, you can call me directly."
"Okay, then I'll go back to London first and call you later."
After sending away the rupees, I breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
But this is just the beginning, the beginning of the price war between us and Entu Trading. I don’t know how many variables there will be in the future.
But the situation has come to this, and we have no other choice.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, I convened a meeting with all the management of the group above the director level.
At the meeting, I explained that someone has taken over our cargo at sea, and we have found a new partner.
However, I also told some things that happened between Entu Trading and our Yuanfeng Group, and asked them: "You are the core figures of the group. I would like to ask everyone here, regarding our upcoming relationship with Entu.
What do you think of the trade war between Tushang and Commerce?"
After I said this, everyone began to whisper and discuss, but no one dared to stand up and speak.
I waited for a moment, and when no one spoke, I said, "What? I see everyone is talking about it, so why don't you stand up and make a statement?"
The discussion gradually became quiet, but at this time, Liu Yongming, the vice president of the group, stood up and said slowly: "Director Chen, I think our current profit margin is already very low, and it is not good for us to have too many enemies.
, I don’t think we need to take this risk.”
I usually respect Liu Yongming. He is conscientious and conscientious. Although he is not particularly outstanding, he has many years of management experience.
I looked at Liu Yongming calmly and asked, "Okay, Mr. Liu, tell me, what is beneficial to us?"
After Liu Yongming was silent for a while, he said: "We can give up the European market. I even think we can give up the foreign trade business. After all, our main focus now is the new energy industry."
When Liu Yongming said this, everyone started talking again, and some even nodded in agreement with what Liu Yongming said.
It gave me a headache, but I have to say that this seems to be a very reliable method, which not only avoids a lose-lose situation, but also avoids many risks.
After everyone calmed down a little, I continued: "Yes, Mr. Liu is right, but the premise is that our group has its own treasury that can support such a strong organizational structure. Do we have it? No. Everyone should
Everyone knows that most of the group’s current income comes from the trading business.”
Liu Yongming added: "If we really can't give up, I think we can also focus on the domestic market. I have checked the domestic sales records and the data in the past half month are quite good."
I smiled and said: "The data is pretty good now, but Mr. Liu, do you believe it? Soon, the domestic market will be saturated."
"Then let's earn saturation first. By then our new energy industry should also be generating profits."
Everyone began to agree again, nodding their heads and thinking that Liu Yongming was right.
Yes, judging from the current situation, what Liu Yongming said is correct.
But if we look at it from a long-term perspective, this is definitely not an option and may even trap ourselves.
Listening to these discussions, I just feel my scalp is numb. I don't know why no one can understand this.
I suddenly got a little angry, slammed the conference table, stood up, pointed at everyone and said angrily: "If this were on the battlefield, you people would have been killed by the enemy long ago! You have to surrender before you even get your gun.
Now, are you still from the Yuanfeng Group? Don’t you have any blood in you?”
"That's right, what are you afraid of fighting them?" Gao Sheng immediately agreed.
"Yes, what are you afraid of? Just fight them." Fu Zhiqiang also said immediately.
I took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and sat back on the chair.
"I'm sorry, I got a little emotional."
After a short pause, I looked at Fu Zhiqiang and said: "Qiangzi, starting from today, you will set up the intelligence department of the entire group for me. There is only one top priority, which is to understand the trends of Entu Trading as soon as possible.
, resources are allocated as you wish.”
After the meeting, Gao Sheng followed me to my office.
He asked me: "Are we really going to war with Entu?"
"The war has already begun. We have no other choice." I sat on the sofa and pressed my temples.
"Then let's fight, but the final result is either our death or our death. I know that no matter what the outcome is, it's not what you want to see, right?"
I couldn't help but light up another cigarette, relieved my anxiety and said, "But we really have no choice, and I don't want to do this. In the end, it will only be YM Group that benefits."
"I have also been in contact with Wang Yi. It stands to reason that she is not such an irrational person!"
I sighed and said, "She knew what the outcome would be, and she did it on purpose."
"Hey, it seems like I really owe you a love debt!"
"I can't control that much anymore. What matters now is the survival of the group. You should go down and make arrangements now. It's best to hold a promotional event at the clothing factory. We have to get our reputation out as soon as possible."
Gao Sheng nodded and asked me again: "Isn't my sister-in-law back? Why didn't she come to the company?"
"She came back with Xiaoman, and she will have to take care of Xiaoman at home during this time."
"So are you living together now?"
"yes."
Gao Sheng reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You and An Lan have gone through so much and finally got together, but now there are so many troubles in the group."
"It's nothing. The soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth."
Gao Sheng smiled and said: "I like your character more and more now. You are passionate and a man."
"Men, shouldn't this be the case?"
"It's necessary, then I'll go down and make arrangements first. If you need anything, just say hello to me."
After Gao Sheng finished speaking, he walked out of the office, and then Yang Man came to the office again and gave me some documents that needed my signature.
