Chapter Eighty-Seven: Whose Money Do I Make?
Wu Ke is no longer the Wu Ke he was when he first joined the Mingchang Group, and the age of thinking about the group and ignoring his own situation has passed. Now, everything Wu Ke does is for himself and his friends.
In order to prevent Chen Mingchang from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Wu Ke had no choice but to sacrifice the giant beast Bang Shun. After Song Zhihe entered Chen Mingchang's sight, Wu Ke's situation changed subtly.
Now Wu Ke is like a hunter walking in the jungle, and Chen Mingchang and Song Zhihe are tigers and leopards in the forest. In order to protect himself, the hunter designed to pull the two beasts against each other, and he had to command them to bite and hurt each other, only in this way could he successfully escape.
When he heard Lao Zhu's report that he could reduce the production cost by another one percent in three months, Wu Ke held down Lao Zhu. The work is not done like this, and then reduce it by one percent, Mingchang equipment will be all-round to beat Bangshun equipment. At that time, it is difficult to say whether Bang Shun will be able to hold on. Foreign capital like theirs often goes up when it is profitable, and flees when it is not.
If Song Zhihe really cashed out and ran away, his production plant in the provincial capital would most likely be acquired by Mingchang. At that time, Chen Mingchangzhi was proud of his family, and Wu Ke really became a good bow after the high bird was exhausted. It's no wonder that Chen Mingchang doesn't free up his hands to clean himself up!
No one is allowed to fall in the short term! If you fall, whose money will I make?
What Wu Ke is doing now is to maintain such a situation: the fierce competition between Mingchang Group and Bangshun Group is not distinguished, so that Chen and Song are always in a state of tension. They all wanted something from Wu Ke and tried their best to win him over. Wu Ke stood in the active position, advancing and retreating freely, neither letting Bang Shun eat Mingchang, nor letting Mingchang drive away Bang Shun.
Now that Mingchang has temporarily gained the upper hand in the competition, then the cost reduction can not be done too quickly, even if it is reduced, the sales department can not lower the price. Only in this way can Song Zhihe be given a chance to breathe, and if Song makes another big move, it will not be too late to lower the price.
Yavin
Lao Zhu silently engaged in technological transformation according to Wu Ke's meaning, and all the parameters were kept strictly confidential, and he only claimed that there was hope for cost reduction but it would take time.
Hou Fatzi has nothing to do for a long time, and the group has almost stopped investing in real estate. Although he received a high salary as usual, is the fat man a person who eats white rice like that? How can he do if he is not allowed to work?
After thinking about it, he found Wu Ke again.
Wu Ke was planning some things for the future, and was about to discuss with the fat man, when the two hit it off and went to the tavern where the wine was stored.
Hou Fatzi said directly without being tactful: "Mr. Wu, Uncle Wu, can you give me a way to live?" You just say hello to the finance and ask them to give me some money, I think the existing housing market is a bull market!
Wu Ke said disdainfully: "Look at your little interest, you know how to build a building? Besides, the zinc oxide plant is doing well now, isn't it? Why are you crying poor?"
Hou Fatzi smiled slyly: "Hehe, I don't have a high level of education, and I don't know much about anything else! Although the factory is also profitable, after all, the scale is small, isn't it? And it is about to be shut down, with high pollution and high energy consumption. You must know that your current attitude is not as good as Yang Yan being in charge here. ”
"Yang Yan? How many fields is left in a few fields that he has done so far? He only knows how to make quick money and does not analyze the market prospects at all, because of the strong foundation of the Mingchang Group, otherwise he would have been defeated. ”
Hou Fatzi scratched his head and thought about it: "That's the same, zinc oxide factories, real estate projects, entertainment/entertainment/city, clothing, and catering are all a mess so far." Not to mention the fierce competition
The key is that we are involved everywhere and not proficient in everything, and we can't do others in all aspects. ”
This is the evil result of blind expansion, and the only thing Yang Yan did right was to establish a corporate governance system, so that Mingchang had the atmosphere of a modern enterprise. But at the same time, he also led Mingchang into the quagmire of attacking from all sides, and fortunately Chen Mingchang agreed to my suggestion to shrink the non-main business. Otherwise, he would have been eaten by Bang Shun by now. ”
Hou Fatzi took a sip of wine painfully: "Mr. Wu, don't say it so profoundly, I don't understand it now and I don't want to listen to it." Tell me, what should I do? Anyway, the construction company has no business now, so you can help me change my errand. ”
Wu Ke pondered for a long time, and said tentatively: "Fatty, do you want to leave Mingchang and go it alone?"
Wu Ke's chopsticks holding the slices of meat stopped in the air: "What? Leave? When? If you leave, I will definitely go with you." ”
"I will definitely leave in the future, I mean can you go first, we will set up our own company, and you are fully responsible. I'll go to you when I'm done with this matter. ”
Hou Fatzi was a little embarrassed: "If you don't leave, where will you let me go? What can I do when I go out? What if I lose money?"
"Let me tell you this, I'm looking for a way back for us now, we can't always work for Chen Mingchang, right? I use the position of the vice president of Mingchang Group to help you coordinate outside, and there is no reason why you can't make money when you run a new company. I don't leave now because it's not time to leave. ”
"When will it be?"
"I can't say for sure, but now I can only take one step at a time. I have my reasons for doing this, according to Chen Mingchang's character, it is impossible for me to leave Mingchang Group well, so I have to force Chen Mingchang to compromise with me, a real compromise. At least he had to cash out my 10% stake, and with that money, we could run as big a company as we wanted. ”
Hou Fatzi is not a romantic, he is not much interested in the pie painted by Wu Ke, he is more concerned about whether Wu Ke can help him find a better department, or even if he goes out, how much start-up capital Wu Ke can give and what good projects he can find.
Seeing that the fat man was silent, Wu Ke asked, "Talk about your thoughts, would you like to go out with me and work alone?"
The fat man was embarrassed for a while, looked at Wu Ke, who was confident, and gritted his teeth and said, "I have to go out and do it alone now?"
"It doesn't have to be, it's up to you. But I think the sooner we do it, the better. ”
"And how much start-up capital can you give me?"
"I'll give it to you when I exchange the shares for money. ”
Hou Fatzi was furious: "Wu Ke, what do you mean, drive me away? ”
Wu Ke likes to see Hou Fatzi's angry appearance, he likes it since he was a clerk in Hou Fat's subsidiary, watching him scratch his ears and cheeks for a while, Wu Ke smiled: "The money can't be given to you for the time being, but I can give you ideas, if you are not interested, forget it." ”
"Tell me what you have the idea first, I have to see if it works first, and I don't have any money, you have to take this factor into account. ”
"Now the group is reducing costs and improving efficiency, I have read the reports of various departments during this time, and the cost of the logistics center is too high. The group not only has to fund the maintenance of vehicles, but also has to pay salaries and bonuses to the employees, drivers and security guards there, and the office expenses are also a large part of the expenditure. I specifically went to find out that the drivers and employees over there actually have partnerships to transport smuggled goods, and there are not a few. Some drivers are drunk
Later, he even bragged that he would bring some private goods on a trip that was higher than his salary. ”
Hou Fatzi's small eyes blinked and blinked, he understood what Wu Ke meant, this is to kick out the logistics center?
"Mr. Wu, do you mean to outsource the logistics center?"
"Yes, outsourcing is only the first step, and if the contractor has the strength, it can be acquired directly. The Group then signs a contract with the logistics center for the transportation of the equipment. Do you have any intentions? Can you take out the money for the contract?"
Hou Fatzi excited, Mingchang's logistics center is large-scale and new, transport vehicles are purchased in recent years, if contracted down and properly managed, not only can help Mingchang transport goods, but also help several steel mills around the building materials factory to transport goods, which is not a small profit.
"How much is the contract fee? I'll have to see if I can afford it. ”
"The annual operating cost of the logistics center is nearly 10 million yuan, and this is still without purchasing new cars. If you can go ahead, you don't need the company to make a budget, and the freight is deducted, and the company may have to give you money. ”
Hou Fatzi couldn't turn the corner for a while, people contracted such a large logistics center to me, I don't have to pay a penny, can I still make money? This is a bit unbelievable!
It's unbelievable, but that's what happened. At the beginning, Mingchang spent great efforts to build a logistics center, the purpose is to improve the efficiency of transportation, the province can basically achieve the day of the order or the next day to arrive. But it's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, this logistics center built with high standards is like a bottomless pit that sucks the blood of Mingchang Group all the time. Everyone knows the cost of this piece, and Chen Mingchang also feels a headache from time to time. I am reluctant to throw it, and it consumes too much in my own hands.
Wu Ke felt that it was time to persuade Chen Mingchang to give up the logistics center, and to engage in industry, you have to have the appearance of engaging in industry, you do everything, logistics and transportation by yourself, who is tired if you are not tired?
After thinking for a long time, Hou Fatzi finally turned the corner: "The operating cost of this logistics center is so high, if the group gives too little freight, I can't stand it." ”
"Are you all slurry in your head? If you are contracted, you can't cut down those useless departments? Why do you raise so many people who sit in the office? In the past, the group set up so many departments in the logistics center for supervision, one layer of supervision, one layer of management, this is a large amount of expenditure. There are also those who carry private goods, you can do it openly, and you can smoke them. In addition, if you optimize vehicle scheduling, you can free up a lot of vehicles to help the surrounding steel mills and building materials factories transport goods. ”
This point was broadcast, and Hou Fatzi suddenly became enlightened. Mr. Wu is really clever, and he can think of such a good thing.
"Haha~ Mr. Wu, you are really dark, working in other people's companies, but digging into other people's corners, are you going to buy this logistics center in the future?"
"Of course I have to buy it, I have a long-term plan. But I'm not digging into Chen Mingchang's corner, am I? I've really helped the group lighten the burden?"
"That's, that's, Chen Mingchang still has to put a wine to thank you. ”
Then the two talked in detail about the preparations for the contracting logistics center, how to buy a shell and package it into a logistics company, how to bid and how to win the bid. Straight into the night.
Walking out of the tavern, Hou Fatzi exhaled: "Haha! I'm going to be my own boss soon, I want to be the first in the industry!"
Wu Ke is also in a good mood, and the most difficult thing in this matter is actually to convince Hou Fatzi. Now that he has agreed, the future plan can be implemented smoothly.
