Chapter 172: Stirring the Troubled Waters
Qi Jingtao hid in the one-third of an acre of land in central Yunnan to run his own nest and change his family and the old folks around him. The outside world has not been affected, and it is still developing and changing according to its own operating laws, rolling forward.
Financial predator Soros is stirring up the storm in the Asia-Pacific market, and the short selling of Thai baht by the quantum fund led by Soros is currently the largest financial event in the world.
Qi Jingtao, who is far away from the emperor of the mountain, is busy with his work, and Qi Lin, who is far away from the capital and goes to university, is observing and understanding the changes in the financial world from the perspective of a bystander and learner.
So many major events that affect the world are not something that small people can care about and worry about, Soros can carry out a financial war against a country and a region, and it is not that he personally has so much ability, and when he has money, he can do whatever he wants. The so-called big man is also relatively speaking, Soros has a huge political backer behind him, and this is the root of his fearlessness.
Qi Jingtao is also a big man now, of course, relatively small people, and those big people who have interests under his influence.
Niu Weiqiang, a big man in the computer equipment sales industry in central Yunnan, was affected by Qi Jingtao, and he lived a very unhappy life, suffering from gains and losses all day long. Because, in his own one-third of an acre, Qi Jingtao is also stirring up the wind and rain.
Liu Zheng, director of the information center, listened carefully to and read the investigation report submitted by Qi Jingtao later, and attached great importance to the various problems in the management of computer equipment parts and consumables officially raised by Qi Jingtao, the head of the hardware team. He also went to the relevant business management department to investigate and understand, and from his perspective, he was able to understand the findings more, more comprehensive, and more profound.
The various situations that exist in the process of equipment management are not only computer equipment, but also common in the use and maintenance management of other equipment. Many things are formed for various and complicated reasons, and they are not something that can be touched and handled by a department leader.
However, the computer equipment business is a new business, and it has not been in full swing for many years, and it is far from being complicated. In the past, the management did not pay attention to the specific situation of new equipment such as computers, and classified them into ordinary office equipment.
Now I have begun to pay attention, after Liu Zheng communicated and coordinated with the leaders of relevant business departments and superior departments, the daily management authority of computer equipment was basically centralized and gathered in the full-time functional management department of the information center. In other words, as the executor of specific business work, the management authority of the hardware business group that Qi Jingtao is responsible for is about to be expanded. The maintenance and repair management of computer equipment is about to be included in their scope of work.
With the concentration of management authority, specific management personnel must come up with relevant operational measures and management methods. After business combing, all business processes are clear and clear, and the crux of the problem is also clearly laid out one by one.
Qi Jingtao took the first step to stir up the wind and rain, and planned and managed computer equipment and spare parts and consumables. The professional department is responsible for the preliminary review of the declaration of the computer equipment procurement plan, which is a terrible thing for equipment suppliers such as Mr. Niu.
The information center personnel are different from the staff of other departments, they are computer professional and technical personnel. They understand the market situation, understand the development of equipment, and understand the needs of business applications. At the initial review of the plan, we can give the most suitable professional advice, not to mention the equipment configuration. The key is budget control. When making a procurement budget, how to formulate a reasonable price is very crucial, referring to the normal sales price of computer equipment in the market, giving a realistic budget control is a common practice.
The equipment brands that have been reviewed by the relevant business departments also tend to be unified, and the material company follows the implementation when implementing the procurement plan. The whole machine equipment is standardized, and the corresponding spare parts and consumables are naturally classified and unified.
For this change, the merchants who have entered the catalog of computer equipment suppliers of material companies have already noticed and have already begun to be nervous. They operate different equipment brands and equipment source channels.
Originally, they needed to disperse to the equipment demand department, and strive to determine the brand specifications and procurement budget when selecting the equipment. This practice, troublesome, is troublesome some, but it is most beneficial to them. These professional practitioners, from their point of view, engage in marketing-style recommendations, which has a greater impact on the personnel of business departments who do not know much about computer equipment. Moreover, these companies that can enter the ranks of equipment suppliers, they also have their own relationships and business segments within the Nanyan Group, and now with the change of leadership and business level, they have begun to reshuffle.
In the office of the general manager of the Central Yunnan Star Computer Company, Niu Weiqiang looked at the sales reports of the first few months of this year, and the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became, and the more he turned it, the more annoying he became, and looked at Wang Xiaojun, the manager of the sales department who was sitting opposite and was nervous, and said: "What is going on with the sales of spare parts and consumables? The sales performance has fallen so badly, and it is not one-fifth of the same period last year?"
"Mr. Niu, the main reason is that the business volume of Nanyan Group has declined too much, and many procurement plans have basically stopped. 70% of our company's business volume comes from Nanyan Group, and after the Spring Festival, there is not much demand for their spare parts and consumables. We keep an eye on the material company every day, but there is no purchase plan, and they don't have no purchase needs. Wang Xiaojun helplessly explained the reason for their poor sales performance.
"You didn't ask what the reason was? Don't keep staring at the material company, the demand needs to find the source, the source, do you understand? You didn't run those business departments?" Niu Weiqiang asked his sales manager dissatisfiedly.
"Ran, as in previous years, they reported the newspaper's procurement plan every month. However, most of the procurement plans were rejected and approved. A few days ago, we went to those business departments with good relationships, and several departments were registering and reporting inventory of spare parts and consumables. Wang Xiaojun said what he had discovered.
Niu Weiqiang frowned, looked at Wang Xiaojun and asked, "Have you asked clearly, where to report?"
Wang Xiaojun looked at his boss and replied, "Information center." I specifically asked those people who have a good relationship to solve the problem, it is the hardware team of the information center that collects and sorts out the inventory of spare parts and consumables of various departments, and reports to them statistically after self-inspection by each business department. ”
"No wonder. The preliminary review of the computer equipment procurement plan was returned to the information center before the Spring Festival, and you didn't go to the information center to run?" Niu Weiqiang suddenly patted the table.
"Ran. It's just that we only learned about this news after the Spring Festival, and we often go over after the Spring Festival holiday. Liu Zheng, the director of the information center, we visited many times, but we didn't say anything. There is also a hardware team specifically responsible for the preliminary review of the plan, which has also visited many times, and I am familiar with them. ”
Wang Xiaojun said to his boss helplessly about his difficulties, they have no direct business contact with the information center, what do they rashly talk about with others, and care about people's family business?
