The Pentium Era - South to North

Xu Qiaoxin and Zhao Zhigang walked into Zhang Chen's office together. Zhang Chen looked at them and asked curiously, how come you two are together?

"I asked Director Zhao to come over." Xu Qiaoxin said.

Zhang Chen was curious. What was going on? Xu Qiaoxin needed to call Zhao Zhigang to come with him. Zhang Chen asked:

"What are you doing? You're going to rob, are you afraid you don't have enough manpower?"

Zhao Zhigang laughed, and Xu Qiaoxin said: "You need to be convincing. I'm afraid I can't convince you on my own."

"Hoho, fresh, what's the matter?" Zhang Chen said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhao Zhigang and Xu Qiaoxin sat down opposite Zhang Chen. Xu Qiaoxin told Zhang Chen about the matter. Only then did Zhang Chen understand that it was about the Wal-Mart order. It turned out that Xu Qiaoxin had indeed told him several times about this matter. But they were all rejected by themselves.

Xu Qiaoxin had already told Zhang Chen that there were buyers from Wal-Mart who had been in contact with Xu Qiaoxin and the others. The difference this time was that they were already preparing to place an order for them. Xu Qiaoxin asked Zhang Chen before, but Zhang Chen told her not to contact them. , to place an order this time, of course Xu Qiaoxin did not dare to make the decision and had not agreed yet.

She really wanted to take the order, but felt that she was not convincing enough, so she asked Zhao Zhigang to help her and convince Zhang Chen together.

The reason why Zhang Chen refused to take orders from Wal-Mart is simple. Wal-Mart is a direct competitor of Target in the United States.

Both are large supermarkets. The only difference is that Target's products are more personalized and of better quality than Wal-Mart's, and the shopping environment is more comfortable. In a word, Target's customers are mainly white-collar middle-class people. Walmart mainly targets blue-collar workers and housewives.

But Walmart’s squeeze on Target is real. On the contrary, Target’s threat to Walmart is not that big. As long as you can’t offer as low a price as Walmart, you can’t really compete with Walmart. compete.

Price war is a magic weapon all over the world, and it is equally attractive to white-collar workers.

Zhang Chen has no bias. Whether it is an order from Target or Wal-Mart, he wants to do it. But when the other party is in such a relationship, Zhang Chen has to choose a side. He thinks this is a matter of business integrity, and he chooses Target. Special, there is no other reason. They first cooperated with Zhang Chen and his company, and they have cooperated well in the past few years.

"But this Walmart order is bigger than Target." Xu Qiaoxin said.

"We can't do it no matter how big it is. Walmart has no requirements today. Believe me, as long as we really start doing their orders, they will definitely use bigger orders to make us stop taking orders from Target. They are using order, poach Target’s suppliers.” Zhang Chen said, “Can we throw away our old customers for them?”

"Are you stupid?" Zhao Zhigang said, "Why do we care so much about them? We only care about production and no matter which company it belongs to. As long as the bigger the order, the better. The bigger the order, the lower the production cost of my factory. This It’s not like you don’t know.”

"Are you stupid?" Zhang Chen asked back, "Do you think these Americans have such good intentions? When we stopped orders from Target and relied entirely on their orders, they turned around and lowered the price. It’s you who is crying, the faces of capitalists are always like this.”

"Mr. Zhang, are you scolding yourself? You are also a capitalist." Xu Qiaoxin said, Zhang Chen glared at her, Xu Qiaoxin shouted: "Oh, you are not, you are not mercenary, you are a great good person, order Even if I put it in front of you, you won’t even accept it.”

"Then let's do both. When Wal-Mart's order comes in, we can expand the workshop a little more. Now there aren't that many orders for domestic sales. When Wal-Mart's order comes in, we can not only fill up the production schedule, but also expand production." Zhao Zhigang explain.

"No, although there is no such exclusivity clause in our contract with Target. It only guarantees that our products will only be exclusively supplied to them. This product refers to the product we designed ourselves..."

"That's right, Wal-Mart processes all the products based on samples received from them. We don't need to design it ourselves. This has nothing to do with Target. We can do it." Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, Xu Qiaoxin interrupted him.

Zhang Chen glanced at her and continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Although there is no such exclusivity clause, they are competitors. Logically speaking, I feel that if we are producing Target's orders, we can no longer produce Wal-Mart's orders." , it’s a matter of customer loyalty.”

"We still compete with other clothing companies. In this case, Target, besides selling our products, they don't sell other companies' products?"

"Yes, well said! Director Zhao, you are awesome!" Xu Qiaoxin gave Zhao Zhigang a thumbs up and praised.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Don't sing along here. Anyway, I can't do this in my factory. As long as I'm still the boss, I won't allow it."

Xu Qiaoxin puffed up her cheeks and stared at Zhang Chen angrily. After a while, she turned around and asked Zhao Zhigang:

"Can we divorce this boss? If possible, I will go find Ge Ling and Brother Haigen and we will act together."

Zhao Zhigang laughed and said, "It doesn't seem possible. If it were possible, I would do it too."

He looked at Zhang Chen and said, "This boss is confused. I think he is obsessed with sex."

"Yes, he must have fallen in love with Jessica, that American woman." Xu Qiaoxin agreed, and the two of them came back with different tactics.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Yes, that's right, then Jessica is my dream girl. Why are you still nagging here? Is it important that Walmart has my dream girl? For my dream girl, I will do anything. Come on, don’t say you won’t take orders from Walmart, just go away.”

"I won't leave. My foreign trade company's business growth this year depends on Wal-Mart. You have blocked such a big customer like me. What should I do? If I don't leave, I won't leave if you don't agree." Xu Qiaoxin said.

"Your foreign trade company can take it," Zhang Chen said, "I didn't stipulate that your foreign trade company can't take orders from Wal-Mart."

"What should I do if I take it? Should I sew it myself?" Xu Qiaoxin asked.

"You can go to another factory, as long as it's not in my factory or Zhao Zhigang's," Zhang Chen said.

"But I'm sure Zhao Zhigang will die." Xu Qiaoxin shouted.

Xu Qiaoxin talked to Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen found out that when he was still in Sanya, a buyer from Wal-Mart had already come to Hangzhou. Xu Qiaoxin took him to visit the factory. The buyer was very satisfied with the scale and production capacity of their factory. In particular, I saw that they are producing Target products, and the factory has passed WCA certification.

If Wal-Mart wants to inspect the factory, they also need to pass the third-party certification of WCA. This factory has passed the certification, so they have more confidence and decide to place an order with them.

"Say, tell me, Mr. Zhang, what do you want me to do now? Such a big piece of fat has already reached my mouth, and you still won't let me eat it?" Xu Qiaoxin asked with a bitter face.

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "Xu Qiaoxin, you still dare to eat fat meat, and you are not afraid of getting fat?"

"Oh, I'm serious with you." Xu Qiaoxin shouted anxiously.

"I'm telling you seriously, no." Zhang Chen said.

Xu Qiaoxin snorted, pursed her lips and said, "Then I don't care, I won't leave with you."

"Okay, follow me and I'll treat you to dinner later, okay?" Zhang Chen said.

"not enough."

"Then what else do you want?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Anyway, I'm committed to you. As long as you don't agree, I'll go wherever you go."

"What if I want to go home?" Zhang Chen teased her.

Xu Qiaoxin said angrily: "Then I will go home with you."

"Really?" Zhao Zhigang looked at Xu Qiaoxin and said, "No matter how good it is, Zhang Xiangbei will call you mom."

Xu Qiaoxin's face turned red, she turned around and hit Zhao Zhigang with her hand, cursing: "You damn Zhao Zhigang, I asked you to help me, but you became a traitor so quickly."

Zhang Chen laughed, and Zhao Zhigang shouted: "He is the boss, and he said no, what can I do? I'm almost mad, and it's no use even trying to kick him to death. He's just so stubborn, and he's so stubborn." Yes, what can I do?"

…

The next day, as soon as Zhang Chen arrived at the office, Xu Qiaoxin walked in with a smile. Zhang Chen looked at her and asked, "What, did you find a treasure?"

"Yes, I picked it up."

Xu Qiaoxin came over and sat down opposite Zhang Chen's desk before Zhang Chen asked her to sit down. She looked at Zhang Chen and kept laughing. Zhang Chen was puzzled by her laughter and cursed:

"With a smile on his face, he was either a traitor or a thief, and he said, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Zhang, you seem to be using Chinese a bit carelessly." Xu Qiaoxin said, "How come you are either committing adultery or stealing when you laugh?"

"That refers specifically to you. There must be a knife hidden in your smile. Tell me, what else do you want from me?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Humph, you're looking down on people." Xu Qiaoxin rolled her eyes at him, "Let me ask you, do you want an order worth 4.2 million US dollars? Is it considered a treasure?"

"What the hell?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xu Qiaoxin laughed and said: "Last night, I was really angry, so I scolded Jerry and told him that after taking your order, I couldn't even take orders from Wal-Mart. He asked me why I told him what was going on and said you wouldn't let him go. Damn it, Jerry, go talk to the girl of your dreams.

"Haha, as soon as your dream girl was moved, she came to me in person and asked about our current production capacity and how much we can expand it to. I asked that damn Zhao Zhigang and told her, she Tell me, is it okay for her to send other clothes that are not designed by us to our factory for production?

"This year's autumn and winter products cost about 4.2 million US dollars. The sample clothes will be sent out immediately by UPS. We will make the sample clothes as soon as possible. They will place the order after receiving the sample clothes without any problems. Haha, this American woman is quite loyal. Yes, no wonder she is the girl of your dreams."

The more Xu Qiaoxin talked, the happier he became. Zhang Chen also became happy after hearing this. He said, "This is called losing something in the east and gaining something in the mulberry tree."

"What, what, Mr. Zhang, what did you say?" Xu Qiaoxin asked.

Zhang Chen took the note paper on the table, wrote down these eight words, handed it to Xu Qiaoxin, and said to her: "Don't be lazy, go check it yourself."
