Chapter Eighty-Eight: Both the Buyer and the Seller Seem to Have Earned
Wu Ke has actually been thinking about this for a long time, and in the final analysis, there is a ceiling to the cost reduction of technology, because you can't reduce the quality of the product. Material costs, labor costs, and workshop maintenance costs are all hard expenses. In recent years, the price of raw materials and the wages of workers have risen a lot, and if you want to make a fuss about this, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst.
But the logistics center is different, although it is invested and built by the group, but in the final analysis, it is not the core business, and it can save a lot of expenses by spinning it off. In order to prevent the logistics center from doing private work, the group wastes a lot of manpower and material resources, headquarters representatives, supervisors, monitoring centers, security guards, these things are necessary for the group, but what if the logistics center is an independent legal person?
If that is the case, the group will only pay the transportation cost according to the volume of the goods, and the contractor will also pay a contract fee every year, so that the cost can be reduced a lot only by the transportation cost.
Whether Chen Mingchang will agree or not, Wu Ke is not worried at all, he has now been overwhelmed by Bang Shun's threats and his own fooling, plus the logistics center is indeed burning money, there is no reason for him not to agree.
But you can't just mention this abruptly, you have to do some preparations.
Wu Ke asked for the financial statements of various departments of the group from the finance department, and went to the park, logistics center and other departments to investigate the situation. After coming back, I made a 10,000-word research report, and the central idea was that the logistics center was too expensive to continue like this.
The report was handed over to Chen Mingchang, and he attached great importance to it, and now Wu Ke was his Gancheng to resist Bang Shun's attack, and he would almost never refuse any decision made by Wu Ke as long as it was for the sake of the group.
The report of more than 10,000 words, Chen Mingchang read it over and over again for a full hour, nodding his head while reading, and his tightly knit brows have stretched a lot in recent days. After reading it, he asked with a smile: "Wu Ke, if the logistics center is outsourced, how much can our costs be reduced?"
"It can be reduced by at least 5%, and the group has invested too much money in the logistics center. In the past, I didn't notice that I had been thinking about cost reduction during this time, so I looked at the reports of various departments and was shocked when I saw it. Actually, we don't need to build this logistics center ourselves. ”
Hearing 5%, Chen Mingchang was already overjoyed. Well, add to that the cost savings of cutting agents
, Mingchang's cost price is at least 15% lower than that of Bangshun. What price war are you afraid of? With the same equipment and the same sales price, Bangshun can't make money, but Mingchang can make money, which is almost an unexpected surprise.
Anyway, why do you Wu Ke have so many ideas? I'm at a loss, and you can still find a breakthrough from here. You, vice president, I use it too much, I have to use you for a few more years. Let's beat Bang Shun away first, and then let my daughter take over.
"Is anyone willing to contract? With such a large operating cost, will anyone be willing to take over? Moreover, can they accept the unit price set by the group?"
"There is no problem with this, I have calculated, even if I reduce the freight a little more, the contractor will still be profitable. Moreover, as long as they meet our transportation requirements, they can also cooperate with other factories. ”
Chen Mingchang was tempted, if he hadn't invested a lot of money in this chicken-ribbed logistics center, he would have wanted to give up. Now that there is competition from Bang Shun outside, it's good to get rid of this burden. In his heart, the logistics center is not as heavy as the agents in various places, and the agents can be cut, why can't the logistics center?
"Okay, just do what you mean, the matter of turning back and reducing costs has been successful, and I will give you a celebration wine. ”
Wu Ke took the research report approved by Chen Mingchang and was about to leave, when Chen Mingchang suddenly thought of something:
"Wu Ke, what do you think if we sell the logistics center? I'm thinking, if we sell it, won't our burden be lighter? ”
"Of course, it's good to sell, but you can't do it too quickly, so let's contract out first and see the effect. ”
Chen Mingchang nodded: "Okay, then contract out first, and you will check the contractor." Contracting fees, freight, and responsibilities must be written into the contract and written clearly. ”
Leaving Chen Mingchang's office, Wu Ke had an indescribable pleasure. It's really beautifully done, and it smells like a tiger's mouth pulling out teeth. snatched out the fat in the logistics center from Chen Mingchang's hands.
Wu Ke's plan is actually very simple, after leaving Mingchang Group in the future, he is ready to do logistics. It is necessary not only to do the transportation of bulk commodities, but also to do the express delivery business of ordinary commodities. Now that online shopping is prevalent, goods come and go from south to north, this is a big market, and there is a lot to do.
But if you start from scratch, it's still not realistic. The competition in the logistics industry is already very fierce, the scale is small, and the strength is not good at all.
Wu Ke carefully inspected the logistics center of Mingchang Group, and it is not difficult to transform it into an integrated logistics company. Let the fat man control the logistics center in the name of contracting, transform the logistics center, and buy the logistics center after cashing out the 10% equity of Mingchang Group.
At that time, even if Chen Mingchang saw it, there was nothing he could do. Besides, it doesn't seem like there's anything to lose for him.
Although it seems that Wu Ke used it, the shares of Mingchang Group bought the logistics center of Mingchang Group, which is a bit of an empty glove white wolf. But this is what I earned with my brain? I didn't make it in vain? Who did you rely on if you Mingchang Group had today? Who did you rely on to have an advantage in the competition with Bang Shun? Can entrepreneurs not have to pay?
Since you gave me the equity award in public, you have to cash it out!
Hou Fatzi was agile, and within a few days, he paid for the business license of a logistics company. The fat man of the change procedure is even more familiar. This company has a clean history, a registered capital of 100 million, and has completed financial statements for several consecutive years. There were several similar companies under the name of the original legal person, and they originally wanted to do a big job, but there was something wrong with the funds, so they had the plan to transfer the company.
Hou Fatzi turned into the actual controller of Chengbei Logistics and Transportation Co., Ltd., the legal person is the cousin of Hou Fatzi's rural hometown, no one would have thought that this company had anything to do with Wu Ke. Although it is a shell company, it has complete financial statements and tax records, which is simply a tailor-made bidder.
"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
The buyer and seller have already negotiated, and the bidding will of course go through the motions.
In this way, an outsourcing incident that seemed to be a white wolf with empty gloves but could not say that there was any loophole came to an end. Both the buyer and the seller seem to have made a profit, but who loses?
Only God knows.
Hou Fatzi did not resign from Mingchang's position for the time being, although the salary is not much, but the fly legs are also meat, he is not too troublesome. My cousin Zhang Dahua from my hometown was well packaged, and if I didn't talk to her, I really thought she was a strong woman in the business world.
