Chapter 20 Try it
"Moreover, Mr. Chu should also know that our family is an outsider in Jiangcheng, and it is not glorious to be able to come to today's scale, and our peers are not very willing to help us. β
Zhang Qiming's company can grow in just a few years, relying on mergers and acquisitions, and this kind of company has a bad reputation.
Looking at the confused lights overhead, Zhang Qiming sighed: "Could it be that the naΓ―ve wants to kill our Zhang family?"
Chu Ge took a sip of wine, pondered for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Actually, this is not an opportunity for you to break and stand up, Mr. Zhang. β
"Mr. Chu, what do you mean by this?"
Could it be that this noble man of Lao Xie will have any good way?
"Mr. Zhang, do you still have the intention of getting those logs back?"
Zhang Qiming was a little ashamed: "Yes, I have thought about it." β
"Looking at Mr. Zhang's appearance, I also know that this is not a good idea, even if you get that batch of logs, in the end you will only hand over the finished furniture in question, you may have a way to make the buyer unable to do anything to you, but this is harmful to your company's reputation. β
Chu Ge said that Zhang Qiming's sore spot, Zhang Qiming had no choice, even if he took out a loan to buy a batch of logs now, when the materials arrived, he would not be able to catch up with the construction period, and in the end he still had to compensate for liquidated damages, and spent an extra sum of money in vain.
"There's no way we can't let our company go bankrupt like this!"
"Then you can't think about pit others, besides, the customs side won't return the timber to you. β
Speaking of which, it is still a detour to the original point, and Zhang Qiming's company currently has no other way to go except to breach the contract and lose money.
"What does Mr. Chu mean?" Zhang Qiming heard him say it with his own ears.
"Mr. Zhang is actually aware of it, now the furniture industry is a pool of stagnant water, you compete with other companies to see who has a large output, now everyone's quality is about the same, there is no obvious advantage at all. β
"What Mr. Chu said is that if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have taken so many orders at the same time, and the company wouldn't have reached this point now. β
Zhang Qiming has clearly felt that the number of competitors has increased recently, not because of anything else, or because the entry threshold of the furniture industry is low and the upper limit is not high.
"Then why doesn't Mr. Zhang switch to other industries, but hold on to this piece of cake?"
"I've thought about it, but I've been doing this business for a long time, not because of feelings, but because it's difficult to change, and there is no other channel, so it's so difficult to change careers!
Second, I don't have talents, like Lao Xie's high-tech industry, which requires the accumulation of a large number of talents, and all I have under me are some carpenters, what can I do. It's getting harder and harder every year, and I can only get through it. β
Zhang Qiming was helpless, he watched Xie Tianxing's company flourish, and he was also envious.
Chu Ge laughed at himself after hearing this: "Actually, it is not difficult for Mr. Zhang to change careers, and the carpentry under your command can just help you succeed." β
"What is Mr. Chu's opinion?" Zhang Qiming humbly asked for advice.
"Mr. Zhang should have heard of custom furniture, right?"
"Of course, I've heard of it, but custom furniture isn't a fad anymore. β
Zhang Qiming was a little disappointed, he had tried this a few years ago as Chu Ge said, but the return was not high.
Chu Ge heard his dissatisfaction, and he was not annoyed: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Zhang, although custom furniture has become common over the years, has Mr. Zhang ever heard of the word whole house customization?"
"Whole house customization?" Zhang Qiming heard this term for the first time.
"This is a recent rise in foreign countries, where the customer gives money to the designer, the designer measures the whole house, and then hands over the design of the furniture to the customer, and the customer freely chooses the matching of the favorite, and then the designer makes the furniture according to their requirements, perfectly. β
Chu Ge explained to Zhang Qiming what he had learned from foreign news.
"This!"
Zhang Qiming's business sense is also very keen, which is no different from custom-made furniture in the traditional sense, but the scope is larger and wider, and customization has changed from a specific space to the entire house.
However, it is precisely because of this difference that the customer can ensure that every piece of furniture in his hands is suitable, and he no longer has to work hard to buy furniture in batches, and at the same time, the amount of work of the furniture manufacturer has changed from a specific piece of furniture to the furniture manufacturing of the whole house, and the profit has greatly increased.
This Chu Ge also often pays attention to foreign movements, and if he really has a bit of a doorway, it is no wonder that he can help Lao Xie so much.
"However, our company has never been exposed to this kind of thing!" Zhang Qiming still has his own concerns about the transformation.
"It's different from Lao Xie's company, he can't have anyone who doesn't know how to work, but you make different furniture, Mr. Zhang doesn't even need to introduce a special designer, find a few carpenters who have passed the aesthetic test to make design plans for guests, which can also be better close to reality and easy to operate. β
"What's more, the whole house customization is not limited to ordinary houses, such as those hotels, hostels, they also need this kind of one-stop service, Mr. Zhang can try to communicate with those real estate developers, if you can open up this road, the future development can be imagined. β
Chu Ge's words dispelled Zhang Qiming's last doubts, he even drew Zhang Qiming's future prospects, what else could Zhang Qiming say?
"Mr. Chu, I have accepted all your proposals, and I will immediately order someone to compensate for those liquidated damages after I go back!"
Since the old cake can't be eaten anymore, why don't you go find a new cake to eat? Zhang Qiming didn't even forget to say a word of thanks, and only thought about running back to implement Chu Ge's idea.
Chu Ge hurriedly grabbed him: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be in such a hurry, there are still many doors and doors I haven't told you!"
"Oh?
"I'll teach you, but I'm not free. β
Zhang Qiming looked at Chu Ge's gesture of "asking for money" in a daze.
"Master, the young master has been in frequent contact with Zhang Qiming in the past few days, but what exactly he is doing, because I haven't been able to enter Zhang Qiming's company, so I don't know. β
In the study of the Chu family, Steward Lin was reporting Chu Ge's recent movements to Father Chu.
"Zhang Qiming, the one who sells furniture?"
The news of Zhang Qiming's recent business failure has caused a lot of uproar, and Chu's father has also heard about it.
"Yes, master, after Zhang Qiming paid the liquidated damages, he not only closed the furniture production of the three production lines in his hands at the same time, but also renovated his stores in major shopping malls, although I don't know what he wants, but it seems to have the help of the young master. β
After hearing this, Father Chu waved his hand and asked Steward Lin to go down. Then he stood up, walked over to a black-and-white photo, caressed the photo and said to himself: "If you are still here, your son does not know if it will be like this?"
β¦β¦
Although Zhang Qiming has moved the company's transformation mind, but the original furniture wholesale is also a long-term effort, sitting in the car, he looked at the batch after batch of employees who moved out of the factory, and sighed repeatedly.
"Mr. Zhang, I can't bear the wolf with the child, and your company can't do so much work at the same time for the time being. Chu Ge comforted Zhang Qiming.
