Ye Chen ignored what Xu Hong said and instead walked around the company. The atmosphere in the entire company made him clearly feel that Wahaha's outbreak had frightened everyone.
Everyone originally thought that although Morning Food had high debt problems and insufficient funds, with its super high sales volume, these problems would be solved over time.
However, the sudden outbreak of Wahaha has directly broken this rhythm. The other party has stronger funds, deeper brand knowledge in the market, and greater discounts. In just two days, it has surpassed them by 20%!
In the next few days, Wahaha's market share continued to increase, and its morning food items also declined relatively.
For a time, rumors that Qingchen Food was about to go bankrupt continued to circulate in the society. People were panicked for a while, and even ordinary workers began to slack off because they didn't know whether they would be able to get their wages after the end of this month.
Ye Chen realized that he could not let this situation continue, otherwise he would begin to fall apart internally before the other party could exert any force.
"Meeting!"
In the conference room, the managers were all sitting, some lying on their backs on chairs, and some lying on the table, completely lacking the energy they had before.
During this period, all their departments worked together and worked their best, but they could only barely reduce the rate of decline in market share, that's all.
They know very well that morning food has lost its momentum at this time. Unless they can launch new discounts and compete with Wahaha at a greater speed of burning money, they will die slowly.
However, Qingchen Food really has no more funds now. The only company with higher profits is Red Bull. If it weren't for the 200,000 profits that Red Bull brings every day, the factory would have been unable to sustain it long ago.
After everyone arrived, Ye Chen arrived at the conference room at the right time. As soon as he entered, he felt the decadent atmosphere inside. Everyone seemed listless as if they hadn't slept for several nights.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Ye Chen sat on the chief chair and asked with a smile, "It's okay if you're in a bad mood. I'll tell you a joke to make you laugh."
"When I was young, my mother gave me a sweater. The sweater was taken from a cousin of mine who was ill and passed away. Although it was unlucky, it was poor at that time and the weather was cold. When it got cold,
, how can there be so much attention to it?”
"But as soon as I put on that sweater, something evil started. As long as I put on that sweater, I could clearly feel someone pulling my neck from behind, a deep sense of suffocation and fear.
Enveloping me."
"My mother took me to see many doctors, but to no avail. Later, out of desperation, she had no choice but to go to a Taoist priest on the mountain, hoping to exorcise me from evil spirits. As a result, the Taoist priest took off my coat and immediately discovered the problem.
.”
"Guess what?
I put my fucking sweater on inside out! Hahahaha!"
After Ye Chen finished telling the joke, the place was surprisingly cold, like the dead of winter, and no one could laugh.
"What's wrong? Isn't it funny?"
Ye Chen said with a gloomy face, suddenly picked up the documents in his hand and threw them on the table, "Please cheer up! What do you mean, you all act like you are impotent. If you are sick, go to the hospital for treatment."
, you went home to sleep before I woke up. Why are you pretending to be pitiful in front of me?
Do you still want me to give you a kiss and a hug?"
"If you can do it, do it; if you don't, get out! There are many people lining up to do it! I'll give you a salary of five or six times the market price a month, and I'm not asking you to look down on me!"
"Isn't the joke I just told funny?
If you don’t think it’s funny, go to the finance department and get your salary right now! Otherwise, you’ll make me fucking laugh!”
As Ye Chen said this, he threw his legs on the table and lay back on the chair, looking at the group of people with burning eyes.
"Hahaha, hahaha, it's so funny."
"Mr. Ye is really humorous, any joke he tells is so funny!"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard!"
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, uh..."
For a moment, laughter that couldn't be more fake rang out. Many people were smiling on the outside, and their toes were awkwardly clasped on the ground.
"Isn't it funny?
Are you in a good mood?
Can you tell me something?"
Ye Chen said with a cold expression, "Now that I can talk about it, I'll start!"
"Business wars are a matter of coming and going. It's rude to come and go. If you win once, you win for life, right?"
Then when we surpassed them some time ago, will Zong Qinghou of Wahaha still have to kill himself to apologize?"
"I know what you are thinking. It is true that we have financial problems, but some things cannot be solved with money. Which of these state-owned factories, Arctic Ocean, White Rabbit, is not richer than Wahaha?
So what?
Can they do it better than Wahaha?"
"Business war is not about fighting and killing, nor is it about comparing who has more money, it is about human nature! The process is long-lasting and complicated, and the result is caused by many factors!"
"I, Ye Chen, don't brag about anything else. At least you guys should learn from my unwillingness to admit defeat. What are you afraid of?
The sky is falling, and I, Ye Chen, am still holding me up, so I don’t panic, so why are you being so cowardly?"
"Especially you, the secretary told me today that you were so scared that you didn't even dare to sign?
The interviewer is still waiting at the door!"
Ye Chen pointed at the personnel director and said.
"I'm afraid that if you sign it and you can't pay your wages, they will ask me for money!"
The personnel director was an old man in his fifties. He lowered his head and said, not daring to look directly at Ye Chen.
"Who are you? They ask you for money?
Even if I go bankrupt, I still owe 100 million. Do I miss your salary?
Do you understand the Fa?
Give me a good look at the labor law and contract law tonight, and I will do a spot check tomorrow. If you can’t memorize it, I’ll leave!”
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned around and looked at everyone: "Don't be so narrow-minded, isn't it just 20%? Isn't it amazing?
Two months ago, we didn’t even have a 10% market share, were we scared at that time?”
"The good times have passed so long that you have forgotten how you lived before, right?"
Ye Chen talked for a long time, took a sip of tea, moistened his mouth, and continued: "We have no way out now, so cheer up! How much money do we have on our books now?"
"Twenty million more."
Li Quanlin had an ominous premonition.
“Didn’t I tell you last time to find a bank for a loan?
Where’s the money?”
"People don't agree with large long-term loans, so they can only be short-term loans, up to five million."
"I want five million. I'll borrow it first to settle this month's employee wages. The rest of the five million will be reserved to prepare for factory losses."
"What about the twenty million?"
"Keep the 20 million, don't touch a penny, keep it for a big advertisement, I will spend it all within a month!"
"No! Mr. Ye!"
Li Quanlin stood up quickly, "The 20 million is our endowment. If it is gone, the factory will be gone too! There will be no chance of a comeback!"
"It's already July, which is the peak season for drinks. If we don't win at this stage, no matter how much money is left, there will be no chance of a comeback!"
Ye Chen said, lit a cigarette, and continued, "If you are small and have great potential, you have to try your best to fight against the odds to have a chance of survival!"
