After the opening meeting, the curtain of supplier selection was quickly opened.

The whole project was divided into two modules, one was the demand for public relations and media placement, and the other was the design and production of print video and promotional materials.

Three weeks later, after a comprehensive evaluation of the supplier's on-site proposal and business quotation by the technical judges of each business unit, the preliminary results of the supplier selection have been released, and the relevant persons in charge of the two teams, Joanna and Linda, reported to Terry together.

The first supplier in the public relations and media placement part is the international 4A agency WPP Group, and the local advertising agency Blue Label takes the second place in the overall ranking as an alternative supplier, and once there is any cooperation problem with WPP Group, Blue Label Group will be used as an alternative supplier as soon as possible.

This part of the first round of quotation is 9 million yuan, including 4 million celebrity endorsement fees.

The No. 1 supplier in the design and production part is a local advertising company called Xiangrong Technology, with a budget of about 2.8 million.

Terry frowned slightly, and asked, "Xiangrong, what is the background of this company?" Joanna thought for a while and said: "This is a local creative production company recommended by Jason of the beauty and care marketing department, I have worked with them before, and the creativity and execution ability are very good, and the price quoted this time is also very advantageous." ”

"What about their specific rating data?" Terry asked.

Joanna looked for Xiangrong's specific scoring data in the report, and explained with some confidence: "This company finally PK all the competitors, I am personally a little surprised, their technical solution score is not very outstanding, but the price has an absolute advantage, and finally ranks first comprehensively." ”

Terry took a closer look at the rating data, and the company's budget quotation for the shooting part of the celebrity promotional video was 35% lower than that of other companies, and the price of graphic and material design and production was also more than 20% lower than that of other companies, which is a very unusual gap.

Terry immediately asked: "Have you ever visited this company on the spot?" This time, we spent a lot of money to invite the popular new generation idols in Hong Kong and China to endorse the event, and the video shooting part must not be sloppy. The price is so low that it does not conform to the laws of the market. “

Joanna explained: "People said that they had the sincerity of cooperation, and in order to do word-of-mouth, they were willing to take on this project at a loss, because it was recommended internally, considering that there had been successful cooperation cases, and the project was very urgent, at first I really didn't expect this company to be able to rank first in the overall ranking, so I really didn't go to the site for inspection." “

Terry glanced up at Joanna, although he had a calm expression and didn't say anything immediately, but the wood on the side sweated for Joanna, and thought to himself: "For such an important project, Joanna's evaluation of supplier qualifications is indeed too hasty." “

After a moment, Terry commanded, "You guys fly over as soon as possible and see how this supplier is doing." ”

After that, he added: "Muzi, you also go with you." Make a record on the spot, and come back to make a decision. “

"Be careful with confidentiality. After saying that, Terry also admonished.

was rejected on the spot, and Joanna was a little embarrassed, but she still suppressed her emotions and responded: "Okay." ”

。。。。

The next day, Joanna, Cassie and Muzi bought an early morning plane and came to Shanghai, and after getting off the plane, they went straight to the company's office location provided on the supplier's information: Room 601, Block 3, No. 998 Nanjing Road, Baoshan District, Shanghai.

When I arrived at my destination, I found that it was a very dilapidated commercial and residential residential building.

Taking the elevator to 601, Cassie raised her hand and rang the doorbell for a long time, the door was closed, and no one came to open the door.

Mu Zi sighed in his heart, judging from the supplier's introduction materials, this company has nearly 100 employees, which is not like Ah at all.

It was hot in the hallway, and there were residents drying clothes in the hallway, and Joanna was walking up and down the walkway irritably, fanning the wind with her hands.

Cassie quickly dialed Chen Cong, the general manager of this company, and after the phone was connected, he only heard Cassie confirm with the other party in the mobile phone: "Are you the general manager of Xiangrong?" We are EB's purchasing team, we are now at the door of your company, is there no one in the company now?"

When Cassie hung up the phone, Muzi asked, "What did the other party say?"

Cassie frowned and replied, "He said let's wait." ”

Joanna wore high heels and walked up and down the corridor becoming more and more impatient: "What kind of broken company is this?"

More than half an hour later, a person claiming to be Mr. Chen hurried over, sweating all over his forehead.

"I don't know how many people are coming today. I'm Chen Cong from Xiangrong, sorry for waiting for a long time. The visitor reached out and shook hands with the three of them as she spoke, and Joanna was so upset that she didn't bother to look at each other.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Chen Cong said vigorously: "A few people have worked hard, seeing that the weather is so hot, a few of them must be tired, let me take a few of you to eat something and take a rest?"

Joanna directly interrupted the other party: "Don't bother, just open the door, let's go in and talk." “

Chen Jun said with a sad face: "Well, that's the case, our company is now relocating, so the office is a little messy at present, and it is really not convenient to receive it." “

Joanna said impatiently, "Relocation?

Chen Cong went on to explain: "Hmm. That's right. “

As he spoke, he stammered: "Alas, look at this trouble, it's really unfortunate in the past two weeks, because we are a creative design company, so our employees can work from home with computers, and the company has recently moved, and everyone will be called to work in the company after the relocation." ”

Joanna was about to have a seizure, when Muzi asked, "Understand, Mr. Chen, even if the company moves, should there be a current office space, can we take a look?"

In addition, if your employees work from home with their computers, as Mr. Chen said, how can the information security of the cooperation project be guaranteed, and how does your company manage risks?

was said like this, this Mr. Chen was even more hesitant and didn't know how to answer. In desperation, he said, "Wait a minute. ”

After that, he ran to the side to make a call, and when he came back, he sighed slightly and took out the key to open the door and said, "Okay, a few people inside, please." ”

When Joanna and the three of them entered the office, they found that it was just a two-bedroom commercial and residential apartment, with only a few office desks in it, and there was really no sign of an office company with 100 employees.

Terry was worried about the company's qualifications, and it made sense. Muzi thought secretly in his heart.

Before the business trip, Joanna thought that Terry was nitpicking, and patted her chest to ensure that the company would not have problems, but now the situation is really a bit embarrassing.

Joanna said in a very unhappy tone: "When you made the proposal on the spot, you swore that you have your own studio, your own full-time director, and photography artist, where are they?"

Mu Zi also added calmly: "Please also take out all the original business licenses and qualification documents of your company and let us take a look." In addition, your information indicates that the number of employees is 100, and please take the trouble to provide their labor contracts and proof of social security payment. ”

Mr. Chen's face was embarrassed and he was about to speak.

Joanna said sharply, "Chen, is there always a problem? Please give me an explanation." Otherwise, the project will not be able to cooperate, not only will it not be able to cooperate, but it may also bear the risk of fraud... “
