Chapter 163: Yuyu's Predicament
After Fan Mingzhe left in embarrassment, Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Ran turned out to be the big boss behind Xiyu?
For a moment, Xiao Fan only felt that his back was full of cold sweat, if Fan Mingzhe supported him, then he would not be afraid of Zhou Ran, but now, Fan Mingzhe had run away, obviously abandoning him directly.
Without Fan Mingzhe, what would he do to bargain with Zhou Ran and them?
At this time, he saw Zhou Ran looking at him with a cold expression.
"You can get out. Zhou Ran said indifferently.
"No, you can't fire me, I've been working in the planning department for more than four years, and without me, the planning department can't function at all. Hearing this, Xiao Fan hurriedly retorted.
In the past few years, he has only cared about slipping around and shooting horses, and there are not many real materials, and once he loses this job, it will be difficult for him to find a suitable job again.
"I don't care. Zhou Ran said disdainfully.
Not to mention that Xiao Fan knew at a glance that he didn't have much real ability, even if he was really a talent, there were not a thousand or eight hundred talents who could replace Xiao Fan in the entire Yu'an City, and then just find another one.
"Mr. Zhang, I've been with you for so long, you can't kick me out for no reason. Xiao Fan said anxiously.
He still hasn't paid off his mortgage for ten years, just bought a BMW 3 Series at the beginning of this year, and if he loses this job, he will really die.
Zhang Yuan looked at Xiao Fan calmly and said lightly: "You should have expected today, I don't want to handle things too ugly." ”
Xiao Fan has done a lot of dirty things in order to please Fan Mingzhe in the past two years, but he has to turn a blind eye for Xiyu.
"Get him out. Zhou Ran said indifferently.
When the two security guards heard this, they immediately set up Xiao Fan.
"Boss Zhou, I was wrong, please let me go, my son has just entered junior high school, and my old mother is still lying in the hospital......" Xiao Fan's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
After only three people were left in the planning department, Zhang Yuan, Zhou Ran and Xiao Jingyu sighed heavily, looked at Zhou Ran apologetically, and said, "I disappointed you." ”
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Ran asked with a frown.
Zhang Yuan, the boss, should be in this role, and he is also aggrieved.
"Xu Chenxuan, you should know. Zhang Yuan said bitterly.
Zhou Ran nodded, Xu Chenxuan is one of the top retail brands in Huaguo, and at the same time, it is also the industry of the Xu family in Jiuchuan in the world.
"Xu Chenxuan's person in charge of Yu'an is called Tao Guoyuan, and Fan Mingzhe has a sister named Fan Mingjing, who is Tao Guoyuan's mistress, and at the same time Xiyu's vice president. Zhang Yuan explained slowly.
When Zhou Ran heard this, he had already guessed in his heart.
"Xiyu has been able to persist until now under the suppression of Yuerong Group, all supported by Fan Mingjing's connections, once our products are without the channel of Xu Chenxuan, it will not be long before Xiyu will go bankrupt. Zhang Yuan said helplessly.
Xiyu is still a brand in Yu'an, but in the whole country, it is not ranked at all.
There are too many large and small brands in the whole country, and today's beauty and skin care industry has entered the red sea stage, with the top 10 big brands accounting for more than 95% of the market's profits, and the remaining less than 5% being contested by countless small brands.
Compared with those well-known big brands, small brands like Xiyu do not have much price advantage, and the brand appeal is close to zero.
In today's increasingly fierce brand competition, more and more consumers have begun to join the team of only buying big brands, if it weren't for the relationship between Fan Mingjing and Tao Guoyuan, to help Xiyu occupy a place in Xu Chenxuan, Xiyu would have been finished long ago.
Because of this, even if the Fan sisters and brothers are doing evil in the company, he, the boss, does not dare to say anything at all, and Xiyu's sales channel is too single.
Zhou Ran frowned slightly, he didn't expect that Xiyu, who could even suppress Yuerong back then, had now reached this step.
"I've tried to expand my channels, but without exception, they've all failed. Zhang Yuan said bitterly.
The products of big brands are too dominant in this aspect, if Xiyu wants to be competitive, he must have an advantage in price, but once the price is controlled, it means that there is no profit, and Xiyu also dies slowly, which is a dead end.
Zhang Yuanzheng was saying when his phone rang.
Zhang Yuan picked up his mobile phone and directly connected the call.
After a moment, he replied gloomily, "I see." ”
Zhang Yuan hung up the phone, his face extremely pale.
"What's going on?" Zhou Ran couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"Pham Minh Tinh has just taken a long leave. Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and replied.
Fan Mingjing's leave is obviously related to Fan Mingzhe, with her doting on her younger brother, this kind of thing happened completely in Zhang Yuan's expectation.
It's just that things are obviously not as simple as Fan Mingjing asking for leave, I'm afraid that in just these two days, Xiyu's products will be removed from Xu Chenxuan's shelves, and Xiyu's sales will drop to freezing point at that time.
"It's really fearless. Zhou Ran sneered.
Zhang Yuan looked helpless, glanced at Zhou Ran deeply and said: "Boss Zhou, it's still too late for you to sell Xiyu now, in today's Huaguo environment, it is difficult for Xiyu to make a comeback." ”
Zhang Yuan, who knew the contradiction between Zhou Ran and the Zhou family, still didn't say a word, that is, Xiyu would never be able to take market share from the already entrenched Yuerong Group.
Quitting now is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
"There's no hurry. Zhou Ran said with a light smile.
"Are there many people in the Fan family sister and brother faction in the company?" At this time, Zhou Ran asked.
"There are not many people who stand firmly on their side, and the vast majority of employees are ordinary people, who come here to work just to make some money, and most of them are grass on the wall. Zhang Yuan replied seriously.
Zhou Ran nodded and said lightly: "Whoever takes a long leave with the Fan sisters and brothers in the past two days will be dismissed." ”
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he hesitated.
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, the departure of Fan Mingjing and his faction can't shake Xiyu's foundation, in fact, in this period, it is a good thing to be able to quickly identify these employees with ulterior motives. Zhou Ran said with a light smile.
Zhang Yuan looked at Zhou Ran suspiciously, he didn't understand where Zhou Ran got so much confidence, there were several company executives who firmly stood on the side of the Fan sisters and brothers, and it would hurt their muscles and bones to be dismissed from all of them.
After a while, Zhang Yuan nodded solemnly and said, "I understand." ”
At the end of the day, he's just a manager, and since the boss has already let go, there's no reason why he shouldn't comply.
Seeing this, Zhou Ran didn't explain too much.
Xiyu has come to this point, in the final analysis, the core competitiveness of the product is not enough.
And this point will not be completely solved in a long time.
"Take advantage of this opportunity to spend money on recruiting more talents, and soon they will all come in handy. Zhou Ran said confidently.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he nodded vigorously and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it immediately." ”
