v2 Chapter 268: undercurrent

"Traitor!"

"Traitor! Traitor!"

On the way the boss came over, Zhou Chen came to report again, and roughly found out which domestic second-guarantee welding machines were involved in this encirclement and suppression, and couldn't help but curse. Anger was burning in his chest, and he could not wait to pick up the machine gun and "chuchu" all the bosses of these domestic second-guarantee welding machine manufacturers.

The boss's secretary in the secretary's office opposite heard Mr. Zhou slapping the table and scolding others, and the content could be heard clearly.

Who sold the country?

Isn't Zhou always watching international news?

Since the last time the boss got into a fire over the corruption incident in the Dongguan company, this time it was Mr. Zhou's turn again.

At this time, Zhou Chen smoked a cigarette and lit it, and took a gulp. He rarely smoked, and the boss was more sensitive to the smell of cigarettes, so he never dared to smoke in front of the boss.

In general, Zhou Chen let the people below solve it himself, it was not his turn to go into battle.

If there is a problem that cannot be solved below, it will be reported to him. If the problem is pushed to his level, then the problem is more serious.

Things that Zhou Chen could not decide, problems that could not be solved, or things that were serious, must be reported to the boss.

He waited for about 20 minutes and heard footsteps outside the office. It should be the boss who came back. He walked out of the office and glanced at the boss's office. It was the boss who came back from the headquarters base and was drinking tea.

Zhou Chen suppressed his anger, calmed down, knocked on the door, and then walked into the boss's office.

"Boss, these **** want to intercept our company from various upstream supply chain links, so that we can't produce normally."

Mu Yang glanced at Zhou Chen who was quite angry, put down the teacup, and said in a deep voice, "Let's have a meeting first, and then take a look at it after figuring it out."

After speaking, the two went to the small conference room on the fourth floor.

In the conference room, Duan Menghui, the manager of the purchasing department, the deputy manager, and two purchasing engineers are all present.

Mu Yang just sat down and said to Duan Menghui, "Tell me about the situation."

Duan Menghui said slowly: "Yes, boss, this matter has to start a week ago.

In order to reduce the procurement risk, we purchase from three domestic arc welding inverter manufacturers. Now we sign new contracts and order the goods three months in advance. Today is February 20th, and the goods should be delivered in April. Order for May.

But now, the goods in April should have been shipped a few days ago, and the manufacturer Shenzhen Yulong Technology Co., Ltd. could not deliver it. After we asked, we said that it was out of stock. Let us wait, if it is only a supplier , the supply in the next few days is also normal.

However, the other two suppliers, Sucheng Ou Rui Electric Appliances and Wan Boke Welding Electric Appliances, are also in the same situation. They cannot deliver the goods, and they are unwilling to sign new contracts. They say that their production capacity is limited and they are unwilling to supply us any more. "

The tone of Duan Menghui's words was a little helpless, and at the end, there was a bit of anger.

"When this happened suddenly, the buyer reported it to me. I personally called and asked the other party's boss, and the result was the same. They said that the company was willing to pay liquidated damages according to the contract for the goods that could not be delivered!

I didn’t say it early, I didn’t say it late, and when it was about to be delivered, we insisted that it was out of stock, and the three companies were in the same situation. I thought it was a pit, a pit for us to jump in, and they didn’t care about liquidated damages at all.

Our company shipped a total of 60,000 units in April, and the contract order amount was about 6 million yuan. We paid 30 of the contract amount as an advance payment, and then paid 65 and 5 as the warranty fee after receiving the goods. The liquidated damage is Double the advance payment, that is 1.8 million yuan. From the tone of the other party, the three suppliers do not care about a total of 1.8 million yuan in liquidated damages. "

"For the size of their company, the average loss of 600,000 yuan per company is not too small.

For us, it is even more serious. If there is no stock, then the sales of 60,000 second-guaranteed welding machines will be lost, with a total value of about 1 billion yuan. In comparison, their losses are insignificant.

We then consulted other manufacturers of arc welding inverters. There are many reasons for not accepting the order, either because of production capacity problems, or because they cannot meet our requirements.

Therefore, I felt a conspiracy and the problem was very serious, so I mentioned this to President Zhou. "

Duan Menghui continued, "When something like this happened, I called and questioned the owner of the manufacturer many times, but the result was the same.

Mr. Zhou asked us to check the equity composition of the other company. After two days of investigation, we found that in the past month, these manufacturers have undergone industrial and commercial changes, adding new shareholders, and these new shareholders are our competitors, such as Shenzhen Yulong A new shareholder of the technology is Tangshan Songshang Duping, which holds 30 shares of Sioux City Ou Rui Electric Appliances and 25 shares of the arc welding inverter manufacturers that we can purchase. Welding machine manufacturers.

President Zhou said, obviously, these **** want to encircle and suppress us, and they want to directly break our company's procurement chain, so that we can't normally produce second-guaranteed welding machines! "

Duan Menghui said very angry, now he is in a hurry and can't buy anything.

As a middle-level leader of the company, he received hundreds of thousands of yuan in year-end bonuses. He has a great sense of belonging to the company. He also realizes that this is not a trivial matter.

Now Duan Menghui and Zhou Chen's "Bastards" refer to the domestic and foreign manufacturers of second-guarantee welding machines that participated in the encirclement and suppression. They are also the welding machine manufacturers most affected by Xinghai Group. Those small-company second-guarantee welding machine manufacturers, Not qualified to join the siege team at all.

Xinghai Group's secondary protection welding machines, due to low spatter rate, simple use, good appearance, and low cost, these six secondary protection welding machines are like a stone dropped in a calm lake, causing layers of ripples and vibrations in the industry. .

It has been listed since May last year and started in June, which has caused a great impact on domestic and foreign secondary welding machine manufacturers.

For example, Tangshan Songshang, Lincoln, and other international second-guarantee welding machine brands, in January this year, sales were less than one-third of the same period last year.

After being silent for nearly half a year, these international second-guarantee welding machine manufacturers are really helpless and have to unite to fight against Xinghai Group.

Xinghai Group may be a big tree to attract wind. When they first entered the arena, they could not avoid being "tutored" by various schools, and they wanted to kick the gym, which eventually attracted "surroundings".

Now the Xinghai Group is facing countless enemies with its peerless martial arts and single fists.

Whether we can win or not, at present, these enemies have made a sinister move, and the Xinghai Group is somewhat dangerous.

Hearing Duan Menghui's words, Mu Yang felt that the conspiracy was very deep, and he was a little surprised that the owners of these arc welding inverter manufacturers actually agreed to the other party's shareholding, and were willing to lose the big customer of Xinghai Group.

Mu Yang thought for a moment, these **** are their old customers, and these suppliers trust them more or have reached some kind of agreement before they are willing to take shares.

The market value of these arc welding inverter companies is not large. Compared with the losses of these competitors, it is worth taking a gamble. Even if they lose, they will not lose much.

If Xinghai Group is out of stock, it will lose one billion yuan in sales a month, and the gross profit will also be several hundred million yuan.

These hundreds of millions of gross profits will be distributed to competitors. They have used these hundreds of millions to buy all arc welding inverter manufacturers twice, and then control the entire arc welding inverter market.

Therefore, they are worth doing this. As long as the Xinghai Group can be out of stock for more than half a month, they will make a profit.

In this game of chess, they played very wisely, and Mu Yang had to admire these bastards.

As for those domestic second-guarantee welding machine manufacturers, they were also forced to do not participate, and their revenue was also hit by Xinghai Group.

But now, Muyang doesn't care about these domestic second-guarantee welding machine manufacturers. Since he is playing like this, he will play with them.

Mu Yang wanted to hear everyone's opinions: "Mr. Zhou, can you estimate how much the out-of-stock will affect us?"

Zhou Chen wondered: "We purchased a relatively large amount before, and according to the current stock of 50,000 units, we can still supply it normally for a month.

But after a month, it was out of stock.

If we are out of stock after this month, the impact will be very big. It is estimated that Mr. Yang will not dare to accept the order, for fear that the order will not be shipped.

These **** probably know that as long as we cut off our supply for a month, there will be no second-guarantee welding machines in the market. They took the opportunity to regain the original market and recover some of the losses. This siege is also a small victory.

If we are out of stock for a few months, then the market will not have our goods for a few months, and the advantages we have built up will be gone all of a sudden, we will lose a lot, and other production lines will have to be suspended, not only loss of sales, The monthly expenses alone are quite a lot. "

Duan Menghui sighed and said, "Hey, it looks like we can only produce it ourselves, but we don't have a few months to do it, and we don't have the technology."

Mu Yang nodded. There are probably three ways to solve this problem.

One is to directly acquire arc welding inverter manufacturers, but it is estimated that they cannot be acquired at present.

The second is to acquire a competitor company, which is equivalent to controlling an arc welding inverter, but Muyang does not want to do such a thing. The cost of acquiring a second-guarantee welding machine manufacturer is not low. It is no different from killing chickens to get eggs. It is not worth spending hundreds of millions of yuan to acquire a useless domestic second-guarantee welding machine manufacturer. Even if it is acquired, it only controls an arc welding inverter.

The third way is to produce it yourself.

If it's a normal situation, as Duan Menghui said, let's not talk about the technical problem, it's really impossible to figure it out within a few months.

Even if Mu Yang can buy the technology from the achievement point store, although the arc welding inverter technology is not deep, it will take him half a month to get the information, and it will take two or three months.

But now, with the human brain signal converter, Muyang can output data very fast. It doesn't take half a month, maybe one day is enough, and in less than two months, Xinghai Group may be able to produce new arc welding Inverter, and at least the world's first-class technology level, the highest can reach the world's top technology level.

However, Xinghai Group's secondary protection welding machine does not have high requirements for arc welding inverters, as long as it meets the functional requirements. Because the arc welding inverter is not the core component of Xinghai Group's secondary protection welding machine, it does not affect the main function.

This is similar to the Pingguo brand desktop computer, even if it uses a general chassis, it does not affect its main performance.

If there are skilled workers, as long as there are factories and sufficient production equipment, one month is enough to produce new arc welding inverters.

Thinking of this, Mu Yang felt less pressure, smiled lightly, turned to Zhou Chen and said:

"Second-guaranteed welding machines are in normal production. I will solve the arc welding inverter. Mr. Zhou, the No. 5 workshop at the headquarters base is ready for use. You can arrange for someone to clean it up. We are going to produce arc welding inverters."

"Boss Is time in a hurry?" Zhou Chen said sadly.

Mu Yang knocked on the table and said, "The technology of arc welding inverter is not difficult, I will solve it, mainly because we have to find skilled workers.

Don’t these **** want to cut off our goods? We can hire skilled workers and technical talents from these arc welding inverter companies. Our monthly output is not large, only 50,000 to 60,000 units per month, and 30 workers And one or two technicians will suffice.

They can cut off our goods, and we can also affect their normal production. As for the money lost by poaching people, it doesn't matter, I don't disgust them, I'm really upset. "

Zhou Chen, Duan Menghui and the others' eyes lit up, this move is indeed possible!

Xinghai Group's salary and benefits are high, many people want to come in, isn't it just money, Xinghai Group is not short of it!

Find skilled workers, let them resign directly, and leave after half a month. Don't worry about these, you have to resign immediately, and resign on the same day!

The fact that most of the staff left on the same day would leave these companies in a hurry and would definitely have a serious impact on production.

Xinghai Group will compensate them for the wages that the workers lack. The wages of dozens of workers are only one or two months' wages, which is only about 100,000.

In any case, as the boss said, they should be disgusted by them. If they do this, they will lose key personnel and production will be seriously affected.

"Okay, boss, you're ruthless, and then these workers leave so suddenly, maybe they can still take their salaries." Zhou Chen applauded, less worried.

When Xinghai Group actually produces arc welding inverters, he now wants to see the surprised faces of these bastards.

At the end of the meeting, Mu Yang saw everyone leaving. Now he wants to see if there is any suitable arc welding inverter technology.
