145 The Rainmaker's Privilege (Part I)
"This press conference, is it really not open?" Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, don't look at the distance between N city and B city, but this rumor has already spread in the local area. And the person in charge of each factory is extremely concerned, even Brother Hong deliberately put down what he was doing and rushed from the countryside, pulled Chen Di out of the airport, and took him to a nearby hotel. "Brother Qing, don't fool me, the big goods are about to leave the factory, if it weren't for the press conference, would you go back to City B at this time?
In the identity of Brother Hong, he is indeed qualified to say this - [see and buy], not only a challenge to the brand, but actually a revolution in the entire supply chain, the assembly line out of the large goods, at every turn is thousands of pieces, if there is a small problem in the quality inspection before, not to say, the organization of manual rework, as long as the grace period is more than a week or two weeks, not a big basket, basically can satisfy the orderer, after all, there are still a few months from the receipt of the goods, and the amount in advance is enough. But [rhyme] is not the same, that is, to see that you buy, the arrival cycle must be estimated in advance, a wrong day is not good, from production to logistics, every day must be calculated, how to pick out can not be cut out of a week for you to rework, this kind of business that may trigger a chain reaction one day later, must really be performed in strict accordance with the terms of the contract, the quality inspection did not pass, and it is really necessary to file a lawsuit to pick out the loss, and the factory cannot afford this responsibility. Ordinary small factories don't even dare to take such orders, and when the time comes, they really have to go to court, who can say?
That is, in China, workers are willing to endure hardships, can work overtime, the factory is crazy enough, and they grow savagely, and they want to take on any kind of business. In Europe, it is difficult to survive in this set, workers have to leave work on time, they have to go on vacation, and everyone has to live leisurely, and the direct result is inefficiency. You can only follow the old rule for many years, and take your time a few months in advance. ββEven in China, in N City, a large factory like Brother Hong, with good machines and high quality workers, dares to solicit such an order, but even so, this kind of order makes the technical director extremely nervous, and he has said to Chen Indigo in advance, and it is too late to send the sample to City B. Otherwise, according to the old rules, it will take two or three days for the express delivery to be sent over, and it is not sure whether Chen Di will see it in time, and the time left for the factory is really too little.
"There was something really wrong with the launch. Chen Di also knows that this is closely related to Brother Hong's business - they all know that this is a commercial model prepared for the press conference, and the press conference will not be opened, that is, the buy and see mode, how can these clothes be sold? Brother Hong can now say that he represents not only his own factory, but also all the factories here in N City that dare to solicit [rhyme] business, asking: If the press conference is not opened, what should I do with the clothes?
You can't hide it, and it doesn't make any sense, the press conference is half a month later, and at this time it's full of promises, if it doesn't come out by then, your reputation will be gone. Even if his mouth was full of bitterness, Brother Qing knew that he couldn't lie, he said calmly, "It may not be able to open - it may also be opened, so the factory still can't relax, don't worry, Brother Hong, the money must still be settled on time." They [rhyme], this bit of credibility is still there. β
"Hey, what is this little money talking about? Brother Hong got the letter, as if he was relieved, and began to say kind words, "-But why can't this press conference be held? What's the problem? If you can afford it, brother, you can tell me, let's figure out a way together, we have all the clothes, and there is always a way to solve it." β
"Actually, it's not about the venue, it's something wrong with the original design," this can't be pretentious, Brother Qing sighed, "Qiaoqiao wants to redesign this year's show, so the whole progress has to be determined by the progress of her side, if it can't be designed, then ......"
"Then you won't have a development conference?" Brother Hong called softly, "Wasn't it all good before, and this season's design model has also come out, right?
"I can only go back to Beijing to discuss, and try to communicate a way to digest it." Chen Indigo is also a rare irritability today, not only wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, her hair is messy, and she is rarely disqualified, but she also doesn't pay as much attention to her speech as before, blurting out, revealing the fact that she also has a position in the [rhyme] brand, and she will make up for it after a while, "Anyway, this is her own brand, and she has to delay it because of emotional things...... What can we say?"
Emotional matters...... When did she break up with you?
Brother Hong smiled, looking at Brother Qing's eyes was also a little complicated: as two families, Brother Qing can't hide people from people in N City at all, first place an order to make genuine products, and then place several times the order to make imitations, genuine products are responsible for contacting production, imitations are the largest wholesalers and channel dealers, how much does he earn in a year?
Many people are convinced that Qiao Yun and him are real lovers, but Qin Wei is just hype - if this is not the case, why does Qiao Yun trust him so much? There are many people who are red-eyed, and the employees here in N City dare not trust him, and it is estimated that all the people who come and go are his people. But many people reminded Qiao Yun not to trust so much, according to the rumor, Qiao Yun just laughed and didn't suspect at all.
Of course, the business only looks at money, Chen Indigo is becoming more and more popular in N City, he can eat a cash cow so dead, that is his ability, of course, no one will say anything in front of him, at most, he sighs in private about the bizarre nature of the world, and even many people begin to wonder if there is any connection between Qin Wei and Chen Indigo, including Qiao Yun's own orientation, otherwise it is really hard to imagine that a normal heterosexual woman would choose Chen Indigo instead of Qin Wei, this is not a matter of personal charm, the complete orientation is different.
In Brother Hong's place, he couldn't understand it at all, he had all the doubts of others, and he never figured out whether Qiao Yun was acting to deceive him that night, or whether he was really in a relationship with Chen Di at that time, and then broke up to be with Qin Wei.
If it weren't for a love relationship, it would be difficult to explain her unusual trust, and it would have deduced an incredible result, that is, Qiao Yun herself actually knew from the beginning that all the imitation orders related to their brand were actually on the brand's side, and they took the initiative to do it- Even if this seems to be very reasonable, it has not hurt anyone's interests after careful consideration (except for the brand itself, of course), but Brother Hong is still suspicious, this idea is really a bit scary, and it seems that it is not in his interests to ask too deeply, there is a business to do, so isn't it okay? Even if Qiao Yun was blinded by Qiao Yun for the incident of the attempted drunken conversation, Brother Hong should also feel lucky, [Yun] has had a smooth journey all the way, who can't be found to produce now, what did he do to cover his face with real wine at that time, who will pay him for these profits?
Of course, this is also a thing of the past, and now the press conference doesn't seem to be open, and the prospect of [see and buy] is blurred a lot, Brother Hong is very curious about the real relationship between Brother Qing and Qiao Yun at this time, in fact, he doesn't ask to know the whole truth - Chen Di is anxious because of the press conference, and he has a lot of opinions about Qiao Yun, the two of them are not lovers, as long as they know these points, it will be enough for him.
"It's just a big deal, change the brand and cooperate. Take out the level of production technology in your hand, take out the level of marketing, which domestic designer can't be popular?" he smiled and poured Chen Di a glass of wine, "I tell you the truth, don't mind, Brother Qing, in fact, who is the designer, is it very important?
Chen Di didn't say anything, he sipped casually with a glass of beer, and he was not surprised by Brother Hong's reaction: If Chen Di had wanted to leave, then he would have known it a long time ago.
"If the coco demon doesn't do it, won't Doudou get up? Qiao Yun won't do it, there will be other designers, China is so big, there are fewer talented people? What is lacking is the ability to monetize talent," he painted cakes for Qingge as if chatting, "You have marketing, you have production process management, you have sales channels, I have the relationship between the manufacturer and the local government, even if we give us a burlap bag, it can be sold into this year's Taobao hit, is it really important who the designer is?"
"Of course, you are a person who values affection and righteousness, Qiao Yun is doing it with you, why should you give up for no special reason? Just like a coco demon, if you don't want to be good, who can shake her position as the number one Internet celebrity? Friendship is friendship, business is business, there must be rules and processes for doing business, otherwise it is impossible to be big, she wants to have emotional problems herself, if she doesn't do it well, this brand will not be able to become big, as our normal entrepreneurs, it is understandable to seek another high. If you stay in the brand and slowly decline together because she has any feelings with you, or what kind of acquaintance you have, this is actually not suitable for both parties. β
"To be honest, I also have the resources of designers here, N city is the core of the entire Chinese fashion industry, which designer doesn't want to cooperate with us? The money for starting a business, not to mention my family property, can also take out one or two hundred million, besides, ordinary people do brands, a few years ago they lost money, we are different, with your marketing channels, you can achieve profitability in the first year, if you can bring Mr. Fu to the better-Miss Qiao's sudden 180-degree change, how does Mr. Fu feel?"
In a hurry, he wanted to fly back, and encountered a heavy thunderstorm, and the whole world seemed to be against him, Chen Di was really annoyed in his heart, he may have drunk a few more glasses of wine, and his self-control was relaxed a lot, and he showed Brother Hong a little bit intentionally or unintentionally, "Mr. Fu will definitely not be happy in his heart, there was an accident at home, everyone can understand, Mr. Fu deliberately flew to New York to replace her back, but she directly gave up New York, how much money she invested, and now she has given up." Mr. Fu came back with her, but she kept a gloomy face during this time, and after she came back, she said that she wanted to change the show style, so how to do the conversion of instant buying? Now he said that he may have to cancel the fashion show......
The order changes day and night, whether this is the temper of the designer or not, it is indeed not pleasant to cooperate with such a person, and Brother Hong is also secretly happy in his heart, "This Mr. Fu is the key to your foreign investment and government support, right? Of course, designers are a little emotional, why does Miss Qiao do this? In fact, it is understandable that she has any artistic pursuits, but this kind of art is niche, let her continue to be niche, that is also to seek benevolence, we come out to do public things, everyone has their own development, it is impossible to say who is sorry for whom......"
Changing designers, the biggest change is that Brother Hong has also participated in a share, from a simple relationship between upstream and downstream manufacturers, to a 'rain maker' who grabs more benefits in this new economic model of making money every day - this word is beyond the scope of his knowledge, but no matter what words are used to whitewash, it can't change the core, that is, profit, profit, a lot of profit.
If you want to get these profits, you must have corresponding chips, in the past, when [Yun] was booming, Brother Hong thought that the most handful 'background' was not worth mentioning in front of Qiao Yun's backers, and it was normal for people to have design capabilities and government backgrounds, regardless of the cake. Now that she has a problem, how could Brother Hong miss this opportunity? This is also his last chance to get on the car, although the big factory in his hand is scarce but not the only one, once he misses it and fails to occupy the pit, who knows when the next opportunity will appear? Therefore, he was very dedicated, and he was talking about the counter-persuasion and persuasion, and drank a whole piece of beer with Brother Qing one night, so drunk that Brother Qing's head was still hurting when he got off the plane, and the traffic in City B was jammed, and the driver started and stopped, he was so dizzy that he quickly pulled a plastic bag in the back seat, and spit out all the side dishes last night.
"Mr. Chen, are you okay?, are you sick?" The driver was also frightened, and asked from the rearview mirror, "Why don't I say hello to Mr. Qiao and them, and you go to the hospital first?" "It's not that serious," Chen Di vomited but felt more comfortable, his mind was still messy, he rubbed his temples, "But let's go home first, I'll take a shower, change clothes, so I can't have a meeting - Mr. Fu has already arrived at the company?"
"No, maybe it's still at Mr. Qiao's. The driver said very casually, seeing Chen Di's face and hurriedly added, "Mr. Qiao is in a hurry to pay for the show, and he won't see anyone as soon as he retreats, and Mr. Fu can only go there to wait for a meeting, I haven't seen him last night, I don't know if I waited all night, anyway, there is a floor shop in the studio, and Mr. Fu may be there for a night." β
The three partners of the company, he is the most low-key, he rarely appears in the company, and he never officially appears as the person in charge of [rhyme] in N City, Chen Indigo has always regarded himself as a little brother, and has never thought of seeking more right to speak. Qiao Yun is productive, Fu Zhan has operational ability and background, and the internal disputes in [Yun] are more about two people competing for the right to speak - this is not for money, Qiao Yun and Fu Zhan have their own toughness, and the two wills will always clash.
For Brother Qing himself, [Yun] and CY have developed so fast in recent years, he has a feeling of being on a roller coaster, and it is difficult to come back to his senses in a daze. Usually there are a lot of chores, CY is basically in charge of him, and he can be regarded as having his own small world, and the production and wholesale channels are in N City, and there is not much business intersection with the head office, there is no obstacle to the work of the company's employees, Qiao Yun and Fu Zhan's contradictions do not want to and are not qualified to participate, most of the time he appears as an obedient little brother, Fu Zhan and Qiao Yun finished the game on both sides, and told him a result, at most in the implementation of the details, the general direction, he did not put forward too many opinions.
Of course, not every decision of the company he approves, but Chen Indigo has always had a sense of being a late-learner, and many times the feedback from the market has also confirmed that his views are indeed immature, or Qiao Yun, or Fu Zhan's views at that time also have their own reasons, which deepens his own sense of being a learner. Until last night, before drinking that meal with Brother Hong, Brother Qing never thought about this very clearly: Actually, indeed, let's not talk about [rhyme], let's just say that CY's side, at that time, she couldn't do without Qiao Yun because she also mastered the first productivity of CY, even if he was handling all the other links, Qiao Yun just took a photo, but ...... The core productivity is the core productivity, and Qiao Yun just wants to take 50% with confidence, and in all aspects, he can only follow Qiao Yun's train of thought.
But now the demon doesn't do it, Doudou's side ...... Although her influence in all aspects is far inferior, she can barely be regarded as the number one Internet celebrity today, and her dependence on various operations of CY is much stronger than that of Coco Demon. It is equivalent to saying that CY's side is completely in the palm of his hand - that is to say, this profit-making capacity far exceeds the production line of [Rhyme] itself, and to some extent, it is completely owned by him. Of course, this is not the case in terms of equity, but all the links of marketing, production, sales and delivery were established by Chen Di himself and expanded single-handedly, and the whole mechanism was completely inoperable, and from this point of view, he has become the de facto owner of CY. Don't say how much right to speak, but with the debt financing relationship between CY and [Yun] over the years, and even the hype marketing ability of [Yun]'s explosive products, at least, I already have the qualifications to express my opinion, right?
With qualifications, what to say, but he has never made up his mind - of course, he hopes that everything will return to the past, the demon will stop messing with the 'designer's persistence', don't say anything to give up excessive commercialization, and everyone will work together to make [Yun] bigger, but if even he can convince Qiao Yun, then ...... Did David suddenly become stupid? Will he not be convinced?
Perhaps, if he and David join forces against it, the demon side will change its attitude...... Brother Qing hopes so, but he also knows that he thinks too well, with the character of a demon, take a tough line, the biggest possibility is that everyone will break up, and it is difficult to say how the two companies will become when the time comes. But if he didn't say anything, he just watched the company gradually decline, and the originally good seedlings withered like this...... He really couldn't get over it in his heart. If the press conference is cancelled, the company's cash flow will have problems, and if it is not good, the company will never be able to get up again.
He has to come back, this is his strongest idea, but after coming back, he doesn't know how to face Qiao Yun: Qiao Yun has always tabooed him and Fu Zhan to join forces to empty him, Brother Qing knows, and he doesn't deny it, sometimes he does have such thoughts, Fu Zhan has this need, he can feel it, not because he covets cy's profits, [Yun] internal power, but he wants to control everything more deeply, and he has all aspects of the demon career- He didn't show it directly, but if he got closer, he could expect that Fu Zhan would not refuse, and he would also give some sweet returns, and with his person, these rewards would definitely make him feel that his allegiance was worth it.
Because he had wavered, Brother Qing didn't feel that Qiao Yun's suspicion was suspicious, and he was willing to bear this distrust, but he knew in his heart that he had never taken this step, because he always remembered that when he was still a small Taobao shopkeeper, who undoubtedly 'handpicked' him to embark on this fast lane, and who single-handedly helped him to where he is today.
Can the ideals of the past still be held on in the face of hundreds of millions of cash? Have they long been forgotten? Will the former gratitude also disappear? The pattern that the demon wants, David has relayed it clearly enough, and what Brother Hong said is actually quite reasonable, if the ideals of the two sides have diverged, parting ways will be the only and unavoidable choice, but he still came back this time, he still wanted to see Qiao Yun, he really didn't know what he wanted to say, and what he wanted to hear, but he had to come back, and when he came back, he was timid, and began to subconsciously avoid the moment of the final showdown.
Follow her to mess around, so that [rhyme] will decline, and it will be a pity that you can't do it. But leaving her, leaving [rhyme], reluctantly, Chen Di lingered in the corridor for a long time before he pressed the doorbell, and at this moment he didn't know what he wanted to say.
"It's coming, it's coming. Qiao Yun didn't let him eat the closed door, and quickly came over to open the door. I heard that there was a torrential rain over there last night, and many places were flooded. β
"It was a flood, but luckily, it didn't delay the flightβis David gone?"
"Gone. Qiao Yun grimaced, Brother Qing knew at a glance that Fu Zhan must have been full of frustration, since he came back from New York, he has been working hard to change her series of decisions, but these confrontations are without exception, and they always end in his frustrated retreat. "I guess I found out that I was hopeless, and I didn't want to waste any more time. β
"The press conference really can't be held?" Brother Qing could also imagine Fu Zhan's mood when he left.
"The major fashion weeks will definitely not be able to catch up, and the specific time has not yet been decided. Qiao Yun said, "I want to open it, but I can only wait for my design to mature before opening." β
Can't even set a specific time? Brother Qing could think of how frustrated Fu Zhan should have been when he dealt with related affairs, just like he now asked himself not to think about the sales of those daily models this year, he was a little angry: Things really shouldn't be like this. and a little desperate: even Fu Zhan can't do anything, what can he do?
Could it be that the company can only go all the way down with resentment and finally dissolve in an ugly way?
"Demons. He blurted out, "Does it have to be like this?"
He didn't want to be like this, but could he only be forced to do this? Does he really have to come to this? He really didn't want to do this.
'Like this' is a very vague expression, what kind of 'this' he wants in the end? Chen Di really can't say it now, but Qiao Yun doesn't need him to explain further, she seems to be ready to be 'conquered' again, but now, in Chen Indigo's true feelings, her expression softened suddenly.
"Brother Qing. She pressed Chen Di on the sofa and sat down, and suddenly threw out a bomb. "I'll give you all the shares of CY, do you think it's okay?" 166 Reading Network
