Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 255 255. Crisis is a good thing

Che Lizi was stunned by Dong Yiqing's rhetorical question, her mouth half-opened and half-closed like a goldfish, unable to speak for a while.

Seeing Aijiang's embarrassed face, Zhang Yingfei hurriedly interjected: "Do you need to assume that the second half of the year is the company's peak sales season? This is something everyone knows. Stop being eloquent and focus on something."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone in the meeting room could see Zhang Yingfei's intention to protect Che Lizi, and Dong Yiqing was no exception.

But she didn't panic, just smiled slightly: "I have finished what I want to say, and I ask the leaders to make a decision."

Zhang Yingfei inspected the people in the conference room with his eyes, tapped the table with his fingertips in dissatisfaction: "Although the company's performance in the first half of the year deviates from expectations, (this situation) is not the first time for an old company like ours. Well, why haven’t we seen any big storms? I still stick to what I said just now: difficulties are temporary, but we must take a long-term view. Even if we don’t think about the second half of the year, should we still prepare for the Nuremberg Exhibition? In case of Nuremberg What should I do if the sales are booming at the exhibition but there is no stock in the warehouse? In the long run, should we consider next year? We can’t keep saying to our customers “Sorry, we only have samples” or “Please wait a few more months”? Don’t Forgot, just at the Frankfurt exhibition that just ended, we had already made a fool of ourselves. This kind of irresponsible attitude has caused great harm to our company. Therefore, we must not only build a new production line, but also build it quickly and Yes. You can take a look at the tables on the last few pages of the report, which clearly states that in addition to orders from Europe, we also have orders from North America and South America that are also on the rise. Water can't quench thirst..." Taking advantage of Zhang Yingfang's absence, Zhang Yingfei made an impassioned speech and at the same time did not forget to "help" Zhang Quanfu give her an injection.

"Mr. Fei, although the orders from the United States and Africa are high, they all come with very strict conditions. There are many companies..." Dong Yiqing was about to explain the contracts that Zhang Yingfei exemplified, but Zhang Yingfei immediately refused with sharp eyes. Her gestures and harsh tone stopped her from continuing.

"Dong Yiqing, listen to what the leader has to say before making any comments." Zhang Yingfei didn't expect Dong Yiqing to be so forceful, and dared to interrupt her words repeatedly.Just when he hated this girl more and more, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Dong Yiqing had always been submissive before. ?

Before Dong Yiqing had time to defend herself, someone coldly said at the door of the conference room: "Let President Fei finish first."

Everyone turned their heads following the sound, only to see Zhang Yingfang standing at the door of the conference room at some point.

She looked paler than when the meeting had begun, and the lipstick made her lips look extraordinarily red.

She took a few steps back to her seat, raised her hand to pick up Che Lizi's report, flipped through it, and said in a light tone: "Go ahead."

But she didn't even look at him.

Zhang Yingfei didn't expect Zhang Yingfang to come back so soon, with a look of astonishment on his face.He picked up the water glass, but looked at Zhang Quanfu: "I'm done talking."

Zhang Quanfu suddenly said: "Yinghua, tell me your opinion."

"Me?" The second child, Zhang Yinghua, who had been enjoying watching the show, was unexpectedly ordered by his father, and looked at Zhang Yingfang and Zhang Yingfei with some unease.

Zhang Yinghua knew that his younger sister and younger brother were at odds with each other, but he didn't want to get involved in their affairs.For him, it doesn't matter whoever manages the company is the same to him, as long as he gets dividends every year.Now he only likes to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. It would be great if the two of them can lose both sides in the fight.

"I think so," Zhang Yinghua rolled her eyes, "Yingfei's words make sense."

Although Zhang Yinghua did not have the right to speak, his words had no weight.But the other party supported him as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Zhang Yingfei feel a lot of face.Anyway, having someone to support yourself is definitely not a bad thing.

"Under Dad's leadership, why haven't we experienced ups and downs for so many years?" Zhang Yinghua's tone was very similar to Zhang Yingfei's, "Less aside, the situation in the first two years was worse than it is now, right? Like? Aren’t we still coming over?”

There was another whisper in the room.

"I support Infineon's opinion. We are no longer a small workshop, but a German company. Therefore, we must have an international perspective, be predictive of the future, and know the importance of planning ahead."

Zhang Yingfei looked at Zhang Yinghua approvingly, and glanced arrogantly at Zhang Yingfang, with complacency in his eyes.

"Have you finished?" Zhang Yingfang asked calmly.

Zhang Yinghua didn't expect Zhang Yingfang to be so direct, she was stunned for a second: "Well, not yet."

Zhang Yingfei's heart skipped a beat.

"But what Miss Dong said just now, um, is also very pertinent. If we blindly open a new production line but the sales fail to keep up, then our working capital will be all locked up. I don't think I need to remind everyone. I also have the impression that we have suffered this kind of loss when we did business with Fujino before. So prudence is indeed an indispensable quality for us."

Zhang Yinghua didn't know whether she mentioned Fujino intentionally or unintentionally. Dong Yiqing didn't understand the entanglement between the Japanese and the company, so she subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yingfang, but she didn't have any strange expressions on her face, and she looked normal.

It was only then that Zhang Yingfei understood what Zhang Yinghua meant, and he muttered in a low voice: "Walking faction."

Zhang Yinghua pretended to be honest and chuckled twice, then read the report without saying a word while holding the water glass, but listened to everyone's speech with his ears closed.

Seeing that Zhang Yinghua was not offended by both sides, Zhang Quanfu sighed inwardly, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Yingfang: "This Miss Dong thinks that the company's sales data in the first half of the year is very poor. We should optimize and adjust the existing production lines and postpone the opening of new production lines. "

Zhang Yingfang nodded: "Then let me share my opinion."

Zhang Quanfu made a "please" gesture.

Seeing that Zhang Yingfang was about to speak, everyone sat up straight, even Zhang Yinghua and Che Lizi seemed to be paying attention.Only Zhang Yingfei still looked like a fool.

Zhang Yingfang got straight to the point: "As the general manager of the company, I have actually noticed the decline in sales since March, but I was afraid of affecting everyone's morale, and in order to observe again, I adopted a wait-and-see attitude. But after In May, except for the orders at the exhibition, the orders of all our channels have shrunk to varying degrees. Some of you may think that this is the reason of the market, so I can tell you responsibly: the European market, especially the German market It’s not shrinking, it’s expanding.”

Someone gasped in surprise.

Zhang Yingfei deliberately dropped the pen in his hand to the ground with a "slap", but the sound did not attract anyone's attention.

"Based on the information I have, from the beginning of the year to the present, the orders of many of our competitors have not decreased but increased. The reason why some old friends we have known for more than 20 years are still purchasing our orders is purely based on the Friendships formed by supporting each other. But friendship is not a business after all, so the share of these orders is also decreasing day by day. I understand that everyone wants to eat, and I might do the same if it were changed.”

Most people didn't expect the company's business to be in this situation, and there was no sound in the room.

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Yingfang breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I didn't say this to scare you. From my limited life experience, this situation is not necessarily a bad thing. It shows that our business has already grown. To develop to a certain size, major adjustments must be made according to the actual situation of the market. There is a saying from the ancestors that "disasters come with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes." In modern Chinese, this sentence can be summed up in two words: Crisis. And crisis means that danger and opportunity coexist.”
