Chapter 879 Smashing Your Market
Just when Xu Ming was stabilizing the hearts of the club and actively looking for countermeasures to get Shide back on track, the materials market changed. Jinyuan Company had been stocking up on goods since it took over in Lou State, and was looking for partners in the market, and I contacted him through my old relationship, and now that I can fully meet the demand of these users, I started shipping.
A week later, just as Xu Ming was planning to accompany the team in an away game for the first time, he received an urgent message from the sales director. Before leaving Dalian, he changed his plan to get off the plane and return to the company.
This back-and-forth change further damaged the team's morale, but at this time, Xu Ming couldn't care anymore because his company's core business had been impacted.
When Xu Ming returned to the office, he glared at the sales director and said.
The sales director lowered his head and said: "We have been blocked. Several large customers have stopped using our products, and some customers have asked for price cuts. Most of the dealers' purchases have dropped significantly. They seem to be taking a wait-and-see approach. measure."
Xu Ming frowned and said: "Block? Even if someone competes with us in the market, they shouldn't have such a big influence, right? These are our old customers for many years. Could it be that the other party has reduced it by 100 yuan per ton!"
The sales director said: "The other party reduced it by three hundred!"
The sales director took a deep breath and said: "Three hundred yuan per ton, or cash on delivery! Those old customers were pulled away for other reasons besides price!"
Xu Ming said: "Stop talking nonsense, what's the reason?"
The sales director said: "The other party's general manager is Lou Guo! Many of those customers came from him back then."
Xu Ming's expression changed and he said, "Is it him?"
In Lou State, the price dropped by 300 per ton, which instantly reduced the gross profit by half. No wonder the sales volume will drop. With such a big price change, dealers will certainly not dare to purchase in large quantities.
"Which company is the other party?" Xu Ming asked. Damn it, he was busy with things during this period and forgot about this guy. But in such a short period of time, where did he find such a big financial backer? Suddenly thinking of Liu Jian, Xu Ming's face changed. Well, it’s not like he has entered this market.
The sales director said:
He raised his head and glanced at Xu Ming. He was Xu Ming's confidant and knew that Xu Ming wanted to teach the Liu Group a lesson. He took a deep breath and said: "This company should have something to do with the Liu Group, because they The goods are all transported by the freight company under the Liu Group."
Xu Ming could no longer calm down!
There is only one thought in his mind now, he is in big trouble!
After waving his hand for the sales director to leave, Xu Ming sat on the chair, his mind in a mess. He knew how much he was worth, and his big talk at that time was to teach the Liu Group a lesson, but it was just like Bo's statement that his company could fight against the Liu Group.
The two companies are not on the same level at all!
He could only use some underhanded tricks to create a little trouble for Liu Jian. What he was afraid of at that time was to attract Liu Jian's attention and target him. Thinking about it now, Liu Jian was probably planning to cause trouble for him from the moment those words came out of his mouth.
It seems that he made his team miserable and became a foil for the performance of the Panlong Football Team. Then he found his enemy Lou Guo and asked this man who was familiar with the market to embarrass him.
Xu Ming wouldn't be afraid if he switched to another company. It would just be a price reduction, and if the price was reduced, ordinary companies would not be able to afford the compensation.
But who was Liu Jian? After knowing the specific circumstances of the Wafangdian incident, Xu Ming made a judgment. He was a madman, a madman who would do anything to achieve his goals. He even had a tendency to self-destruct in his genes, and he was A man who absolutely refuses to compromise. Just because the people raised the price of fruit, he would rather stop the factory and import fruit production from the south. Because the locals took a bystander attitude during the last conflict, he didn't even need a local worker to build a staff dormitory to recruit foreign workers!
You must know that just for these actions, you have to pay a lot of money, but Liu Jian doesn't care at all!
Such a person is not useful in a price war at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Ming informed the sales director:
The next day, the sales director said with a cry: "Mr. Xu, the other party has also reduced the price, even more than us. The total reduction is 600, which is the cost price."
After hearing this, Xu Ming almost vomited blood and waved the sales director to leave. As expected, it was Liu Jian, the lunatic. He chose to lower the price just to confirm whether the other party was Liu Jian. If he had changed to another company or boss, even if Lou Guo was the general manager, he would not do this because it was hurting people at their own risk. It was not to make money, but to do it. Grab the market.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Ming didn't know what to do.
The phone rang and Xu Ming answered the call.
"Mr. Xu, the team lost! There was something wrong with the referee and he actually awarded two penalty kicks to the opponent! He even whistled for a goal!
Xu Ming said calmly: "I know!"
Then he hung up the phone. How could he still think about the team at this time?
Things are now very clear. This series of things was caused by Liu Jian. It seems that it was his words. Otherwise, how could Liu Jian point the finger at himself? Only now does Xu Ming know what it feels like to cry without tears. !
Liu Jian asked Fan Junyu beside him with a smile.
Fan Junyu shook his head and said: "I don't know! You hurt people so much, I really can't think of a good way to come up with it! You don't care about the acquisition of Geely Automobile. It's all in the media now!"
Liu Jian chuckled and said: "Now is the time. When I go to Hangzhou, when someone contacts you, just say that I am busy negotiating. If there is anything, I will wait until I finish the acquisition."
Fan Junyu's eyes lit up and he said:
Liu Jiandao: "Haha, what do you think? But Xu Ming's level is too low, and he is not qualified yet. If you want to talk, let the person behind him call, but even if it is him, I don't have time now."
Fan Junyu laughed and said: "You bad guy, if you don't negotiate the acquisition within a month, won't Shide have to stop production?"
Liu Jiandao: "My canning factory and beverage factory have stopped production for so long. If he didn't stop production, how could I be so angry!"
After explaining Fan Junyu, Liu Jian came to Hangzhou with his new personal secretary Tuoba Qiaoru.
When Li Shufu saw Liu Jian, it could be said that he was full of anger. As the real first domestic car manufacturer, he had too many dissatisfactions. He went into production earlier than Fengyun Motors and established a research institute as soon as possible. A large number of engineers and technicians have come to invest in research, but the development of the two companies is now in the sky and the other is underground.
His biggest dissatisfaction is that Fengyun Automobile can be said to be completely borrowed. All technologies are obtained from state-owned enterprises, and his Geely Automobile is indeed making steady progress step by step. Logically speaking, Geely Automobile The technology is better than that of China Automobile.
But the actual situation is that Geely Automobile can't even get a license plate now and is known as the most resistant car. However, China Automobile has openly entered government procurement. How lucky is this.
If he can still endure these things, what the Liu Group is doing now is simply outrageous.
In the past half month or so, Geely Automobile has suffered all-round attacks, from the government, officials, evildoers, black and white, from all aspects. Now, except for him as the major shareholder, all the shares of the Geely Group he controls have been acquired by some mysterious forces.
At first he didn't understand what was going on, but when the Liu Group announced its high-profile acquisition of Geely Automobile, he realized that all the suppression, intimidation and embarrassment were all in preparation for this.
However, Li Shufu has not bowed his head yet. He controls 70% of the company's shares. As long as he does not nod, Liu Jian will not be able to complete the acquisition of Geely Group.
