Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1491 Vice President Meeting!
Wang Lin walked into the conference room.

All the vice presidents stood up and shouted with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Wang."

Wang Lin nodded, came to the main seat calmly, pressed his hands together: "Sit down!"

After everyone was seated, Wang Lin went straight to the point and arranged the order production for the Canton Fair.

In fact, this is also a cliché.

Without Wang Lin's instructions, the vice presidents will arrange the order schedule by themselves.

Li Wenjuan said: "Our clothing production line cannot be arranged."

Wang Lin asked: "Can't arrange it? Tell me about the specific situation."

Li Wenjuan took out a stack of reports and handed them to Wang Lin for review.

Wang Lin looked carefully.

Li Wenjuan explained.

According to the off-peak sales season, the delivery cycle of the company's foreign trade orders generally ranges from 15 to 35 days.Due to the autumn fashion week in September, the company's clothing production line is currently operating at full capacity, and the production order is scheduled for 1 to 2 months.

And this Canton Fair, influenced by Bai Lan's New York model champion, clothing orders also increased significantly.

Therefore, the next clothing production line will be busier.

Li Wenjuan suggested: "In view of the current insufficient clothing production capacity, can we change the original Shenfang factory to produce clothing? Several Shenfang factories under our trusteeship can be converted into clothing factories."

Zhou Boqiang said: "The question is, will the clothing business continue to be so good? This year's clothing foreign trade is doing well, and we will increase our production capacity. What if the clothing business is not good in another day? Do we have to change it back?"

Deng Dabao said: "No one can guarantee this. Our current production capacity is based on the experience of foreign trade and domestic trade in the past few years. For the time being, it is more reasonable. Which product will sell more in the future? ? No one can estimate this."

Li Wenjuan said: "I don't care about the future. I just want to ask everyone, how to solve the clothing production this year? Can we still make these foreign trade orders? In addition, our offline clothing sales are also very hot this year. Now there are many The local area is facing a change of season, and there are extraordinarily large orders for clothing."

Wang Lin pondered: "This is a problem. The current order quantity is enough for us to produce until March next year."

Li Wenjuan said: "Yes, this does not include our offline queues. Calculated in this way, at least we can queue until May."

Deng Dabao said: "That's terrible. In March next year, there will be Spring Fashion Week, and in April there will be the Canton Fair. Even if the orders are not popular, if you just accept orders normally, you will be too busy."

These are matters of clothing production arrangement, as long as Wang Lin doesn't move to ask, the other vice presidents wisely don't intervene.

Zhou Boqiang said: "Mr. Wang, but you have to be cautious when you rashly change the production lines of other factories! One small change affects the whole body. The production line has changed, the machines have to be bought new, and the employees have to be adjusted. This change, think again. It’s hard to change back.”

Wang Lindao: "Besides this, do we have other solutions?"

Zhou Boqiang asked, "What about outsourcing?"

Deng Dabao smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, how can this be possible? In such a large company as ours, hundreds of thousands of employees died from drought and floods. Some factories are out of work! Clothing orders are still outsourced? That's for sure. no."

Wang Lindao: "Speaking of outsourcing, I have one more thing here, and I want to hear your opinions."

Everyone looked at Wang Lin intently.

Wang Lin talked about the fact that Kekexi Textile Company would outsource the order to Aishiu Group.

Zhou Boqiang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Deng Dabao said: "An order of 10 billion yuan? Leave it all to us for production? They have been busy for so many days at the Canton Fair and invested so much manpower and material resources. Isn't it for nothing?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Mr. Wang, is there some misunderstanding here? They finally received a billion order, and they just handed it over to us?"

Zhang Han said with a smile: "This matter depends on how we do it. If we can make money, I think we can still do it. If there is no money to make, then of course we won't do it."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Why do I feel that this matter is a little unreliable? Whoever receives a billion order will give up all of it? Is there a problem with their production capacity? That's impossible, right?"

Wang Lindao: "There is no problem with their production capacity. It is because of the sudden increase in shipping prices, and Kekexi Company did not have enough preparations. Therefore, they can fulfill this order, but they will probably suffer a small loss after the completion of the order."

Li Wenjuan laughed and said, "What kind of company are they? They don't even know how to do business? Can they still do business at a loss?"

Wang Lindao: "I don't know how they did it. Firstly, in order to receive orders at the Canton Fair, they promoted a lot of promotions, which resulted in the price being too low. Their approach is also to stabilize a few big customers first! But they are going to The work is not done well, firstly, the raw material reserves are insufficient, and secondly, the shipping price has doubled by more than ten times! Coupled with the increase in raw material prices, even if they complete the order, they must not make much money."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Mr. Wang, since they make these orders and make no money, if they transfer them to us, will we make money?"

Deng Dabao smiled and said: "I understand what Mr. Wang means. Because we have our own raw material base! Although the shipping price has risen, the impact on us is actually not great."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Our raw materials are only enough for us to digest internally. It is estimated based on the number of orders in previous years. With the extra one billion orders, is our raw material enough? If not, then don't we accept A hot potato?"

Deng Dabao said: "We can calculate the reserve of raw materials and the current purchase price. If it is profitable, we will accept this billion order. If not, we will reject it."

Wang Lindao: "That's what I mean too."

He said to Zhang Han: "Mr. Zhang, I will leave it to you to take care of the cost calculation. Try to give me the results today."

Zhang Han said, "Okay, Mr. Wang."

Li Wenjuan said: "The order from Kekexi Textile Factory has no clothes, right?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "There is no clothing. They are the same as our Anfang Factory, which produces low-end textile products."

Li Wenjuan said: "That's okay. After taking it over, it can be directly handed over to An Textile Factory for production, which has increased the production capacity of An Textile Factory. This is a good thing! Anyway, An Textile Factory is very idle now!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "As long as there is no problem with the cost calculation, then we can accept this outsourcing job."

Deng Dabao said: "Mr. Wang, we have to consider another factor. Will the price of sea freight skyrocket?"

Wang Lin pondered: "I don't think so. The market will self-regulate. The sudden increase in shipping prices is caused by many factors. Now that there are such high profits to be made, capital will definitely pour in. , when the number of shipping companies increases, the price competition will increase, and the price will naturally come down.”

Deng Dabao said: "Boss Wang can see clearly."

Zhou Boqiang said: "I also believe in Mr. Wang's judgment. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This year, the shipping price has skyrocketed."

Wang Lindao: "I have carefully analyzed the factors of the skyrocketing shipping prices. Many ports on the east and west coasts of the United States are congested, which restricts the capacity of the global container shipping industry and further supports the already soaring ocean shipping prices. The cost pressure is quickly transmitted to the United States. Every aspect of consumer life. The United States is the only superpower in the world, and their economy affects the whole world."

Li Wenjuan said, "Is it because of this?"

Wang Lindao: "It has to be said that the increase in shipping prices has a lot to do with the United States. At least part of the reason for the high shipping prices is due to the congestion of the ports in the United States. The main factor for the soaring global shipping prices is the increase in money supply in the United States. This stimulated demand, leading to a large amount of imports absorbed by the United States."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Since this is the case, how long will it take for the United States to relieve this pressure?"

Wang Lindao: "A few months!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Then our batch of orders will have to catch up with the high-priced sea freight?"

Wang Lin nodded calmly: "So we have to deal with it carefully. The congestion of the ports on the east and west coasts of the United States has restricted the capacity of the global container shipping industry and further supported the soaring price of trans-Pacific container shipping. And with the rising price of container shipping, cost pressures It is also rapidly transmitted to all aspects of consumers' lives through various channels. This is a chain reaction."

Li Wenjuan asked: "What company in the United States is controlling the shipping price?"

Wang Lin glanced at her approvingly, and said with a smile, "Wenjuan's question is on point. If you must find a few blamers, they are ExxonMobil and other oil companies and shipping companies."

For a long time, sea freight has been an important part of the international trade transportation market due to its low price.

The United States blamed the high price of container shipping on the lack of competition in the market.

Therefore, the United States will definitely introduce stricter shipping policies.

Li Wenjuan asked: "Is doing shipping very profitable?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Of course I made money. Especially at the current price, one trip to Europe can earn you a ship. If a container ship full of 2 TEUs travels from Shanghai to London, the freight for one voyage The revenue is about 1 million US dollars, and after excluding various costs, the cost of the ship can basically be smoothed out, which is equivalent to a ship owner making a net profit on a trip to Europe."

"Oh my god!" Li Wenjuan and others were shocked, "The shipping company makes so much money? Then let's switch to shipping."

Deng Dabao smiled and said, "Mr. Li, maybe you don't know yet? Our company has a shipping company in Xiangjiang. It is also very profitable. Isn't it, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Lin nodded: "Yes. However, the scale of our shipping company is not too large, and we still need to strengthen this area."

Li Wenjuan said: "If we can achieve freedom of shipping around the world, then the profits of our other companies can also be guaranteed."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "These are two different things. The shipping company is a shipping company. It also needs to ensure reasonable profits and income. Like the current skyrocketing container prices, do you think you are making money by taking external orders? Or making money internally?"

Li Wenjuan said, "It makes sense."

Wang Lindao: "Let's get down to business, what solutions do you guys have for the problem of overflowing clothing orders?"

Li Wenjuan said: "My opinion is to change the two factories into garment factories and expand clothing production capacity. I believe that our Xiuzhilin clothing will be better in the future, and orders will only increase. Our Xiuzhilin stores across the country, There will be more and more.”

Wang Lin looked at Deng Dabao: "Mr. Deng, you are in charge of marketing. I will listen to your opinion."

Deng Dabao thought about it seriously, and said: "Over the years, the clothing business has indeed increased steadily. With the increase of national income, the clothing business will only get better and better. Therefore, I agree with Mr. Li's suggestion."

Wang Lin asked Zhou Boqiang: "Boss Zhou, what's your opinion?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Since everyone says so, I have no objection."

Wang Lindao: "Wenjuan, hurry up and handle this matter! I ask you to bring up the production capacity within half a month! There can be no further delay!"

Li Wenjuan's suggestion was approved. She was very proud and happy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's too easy to change the garment factory. Many of the original female workers can directly stay, and many positions in the garment factory are not very big. The technical content, textile workers can be competent."

Wang Lindao: "You can ask Sister Xia to assist you in the deployment and training of personnel."

Zhou Xia said, "I know."

Wang Lindao: "For machinery, buy new ones, just go to Jiangnan Machinery Factory."

Li Wenjuan said: "Okay."

Wang Lindao: "Time is running out, and I will talk about one more thing. There is an important meeting to come. Our company has hired ten members of the think tank, and they will all arrive at the headquarters at about [-] o'clock this morning. We will hold A meeting. This also marks the official establishment of our company's think tank!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Ten people? Don't you want to offer an annual salary of 500 million?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Qian Ying's annual salary is 50, but other people's annual salary is different. Adding it all up, 400 million is always needed."

Zhou Boqiang was silent for a long time.

The matter has become a foregone conclusion, it is meaningless for Zhou Boqiang to speak against it.

However, he was very uncomfortable.

In his opinion, whether it is 400 million or 500 million, it is a waste of money.

In the current Aishiu Group, everything is running normally.

Where is the need for any think tank to join?
After these ten bad old men join in, what role can they play?
Are they really worth 400 million a year?

Zhou Boqiang is not the only one who has this idea.

Most of the vice presidents here probably think so.

Wang Lin glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was not interested, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "All vice presidents must attend the meeting later. We will use the highest standard to welcome the members of the think tank. I don't care what you have in mind. You can say what you think in front of me, but in front of others, please show enthusiasm!"

Zhou Boqiang wiped his face and said, "Mr. Wang, I think the role of this think tank is a bit vague."

Wang Lindao: "I repeat, think tanks do not participate in the company's decision-making, they only give us advice. Strictly speaking, they are only responsible to me."

Zhou Boqiang was stunned: "So, none of us can stop them?"

Wang Lindao: "Yes, they don't belong to any department. If they must be divided, they belong to the office of the chairman of the group, which is my office."

Zhang Han said: "President Wang, what if there is something we don't understand? Can we ask them for advice?"

Wang Lindao: "Yes. Let me remind you again, they don't have the ability to make decisions! They can't represent me, let alone make any decisions for me! Do you understand?"

Everyone said in unison: "Understood, Mr. Wang!"

Wang Lin looked at the time and said, "Okay, it's almost time! The meeting is over!"

Who are the members of the think tank?What kind of impact will it bring in the future?Let's listen to the next chapter.

　The last day of December is also the last day of 12.I implore everyone to look at the ballot box. If you have a ticket, please cast your precious monthly ticket.Grateful.
