Chapter 69: Trust
Fan Xiaoyi had no choice but to call the merchants one by one, invite them to come and see, and show them their production status. In the end, two long-term merchants who have been stable for many years are willing to continue to place orders, while the other four said that they have a happy cooperation with the original boss and are not very interested in her current business policy, especially the cost increase and subsequent price increase that she may bring about if she wants to properly improve product quality, and are not very willing to continue to place orders.
But Fan Xiaoyi is unwilling to blindly impulse, what she wants to do is hope to build her own brand reputation one day.
Even if she said it with a dry mouth, she couldn't keep these merchants. Now is the off-season, if the number of orders decreases again, not to mention profitability in the near future, she has just taken down the store and is already short of funds, but I am afraid that even the daily operation of the store will not be able to sustain it.
The most important thing now is to get as many orders as possible. And the choice she is facing now is to continue to adhere to her original policy of maintaining quality and compromise with reality, and make impulse goods like the original store.
But before she could solve this urgent need, there was a call from the warehouse - something was wrong again!
Fan Xiaoyi was so annoyed that she couldn't do it, but she still didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed over non-stop. However, when she arrived at the scene, she was still shocked!
Yesterday's latest kiln finished product came out, a rough calculation, the failure rate is close to 1/6!
Such a high failure rate means that the cost of qualified finished products has increased significantly.
How could there be so many unqualified? Fan Xiaoyi was full of suspicions, and only listened to the eldest sister who managed the warehouse complaining, "It's not that this kind of thing hasn't happened before, you see that this side and this side are cracked, this glaze will definitely not work!" ”
Fan Xiaoyi summoned several people related to the process and asked the warehouse sister first, "Was there a quality acceptance form when this batch of glaze was received?" ”
"Nope." The eldest sister shook her head, "It's an old acquaintance who delivers the goods, and I've used his house for many years, so where do I still want to go through what procedures." ”
Yue Meng said, "I'll write it down, and we will pay attention to this aspect in the future." ”
Fan Xiaoyi nodded, and asked the production side again, "Did you feel that the glaze was different from usual when you made this batch?" ”
On the production side, they also denied, "No." ”
I can't even find out where the most basic problem is, and how can I find someone to theorize. Fan Xiaoyi took the burnt out and took it in her hand and flipped it over and over carefully, but suddenly stretched out a hand and took the thing out of her hand.
Fan Xiaoyi looked up in amazement, but it was Liao Mingfei who arrived.
However, Liao Mingfei only glanced at it and said, "It's not a glaze problem." ”
The eldest sister of the warehouse is an old employee who has been working for many years, and she affirmed when she heard this, "There have been such things before, and it is the problem of glaze." ”
Fan Xiaoyi asked the eldest sister in the warehouse, "Is there any glaze left in this batch?" After receiving a positive answer, he asked Liao Mingfei, "Can the composition of the glaze be detected?" ”
Another veteran employee reminded that "it takes time for glaze ingredients to be tested, and it takes a lot of money......
"I don't need to send it for testing, I can do it myself. But it's not a problem with the glaze," Liao Mingfei ignored everyone's skeptical gaze and cut it out, "It's a problem with the kiln temperature, it's best to check all the temperature sensors in the kiln." ”
The eldest sister of the warehouse shook her head, "Where is the problem of kiln temperature, you don't know, I saw it last time, it is exactly the same, it is the glaze problem." ”
There are no special electricians and mechanics in the store, and they are all done by the original boss with a male employee on the production side. Now that the original boss is gone, Fan Xiaoyi asked the male employee, "Will you overhaul the temperature sensor?" ”
The male employee shook his head, "I've followed along, but I've never done it myself." ”
"Then try it first when the power is off, and I won't blame you if it is broken." Fan Xiaoyi let everyone disperse, and everyone went back to prepare to overhaul the kiln.
The male employee shook his head, "Since Sister Lu said that it is a matter of glaze, we will directly find the supplier of glaze, and it is not a waste of time to bother to overhaul the kiln?" ”
"Let's see." Fan Xiaoyi looked around at the people waiting to see the excitement, "I'm the boss." ”
That's the downside of her not being able to convince the public as a young new boss.
When she said this, everyone dispersed, and the male employee went up to see it.
Seeing his reluctance, Liao Mingfei lit a cigarette and asked, "What if it's not a problem with the temperature sensor, but a problem with the glaze?" ”
Fan Xiaoyi stared intently at the busy figure on the kiln, without turning her head, "I believed you." ”
Liao Mingfei looked at her and smiled.
An hour, two hours passed. Everyone looked at her helplessly. However, because she insisted, the work of overhauling the furnace temperature sensor had to continue.
It wasn't until he had been tinkering for a whole afternoon that he heard him exclaim, "Xiao Fan! It's really this sensor here that has poor contact! ”
Fan Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that her legs were so sore that she couldn't stand anymore.
Liao Mingfei gently squeezed her hand, "With me, it's okay." Actually, she was still very nervous.
Since then, everyone's eyes on Liao Mingfei have been different. Obviously he still looks so young, but he still seems to have some goods in his stomach, and he really pays attention to his suggestions for improving the process.
But at this time, Fan Xiaoyi thought that it would be nice if there was a person who knew electricity and mechanics. This time the problem is solved, so if it can't be solved next time, you will have to pay someone to fix it. And now they are not one kiln, but two.
But this kind of problem is to think about it for the time being, for the sake of two kilns, she doesn't have the financial resources to raise an electrician who understands technology for a long time.
With the problem out of this side, she had to turn her attention back to the order side again. If you can't quickly open sales, the daily expenses of the store are not like she did before, and she rents water, electricity, wages and raw materials, which is not a small amount a day.
Since what has been lost is irretrievable, Fan Xiaoyi began to seriously think about how to expand new sales channels.
If she can persist like this, not to mention taking the high-end route, at least the middle of the quality will also have a considerable market, but the current dilemma is how to persist in such a huge daily overhead.
However, before she could figure out a way, Liao Mingfei gave her another surprise.
He directly moved a whole box of various products the size of A4 paper to show her.
"On the day I showed you the kiln, I didn't say that there was anything to show you, but there was no place for me to move home first, let you go to my house, and you said that there was no time that day."
Fan Xiaoyi thought about it, as if there was indeed such a thing.
Liao Mingfei opened the box and showed her the things, "This is all when I was in Xingtao, when I was fine, I was thinking about what kind of simple products you could make, so I did these things for experiments." ”
When Fan Xiaoyi saw the contents of the box, her eyes couldn't help but light up!
