Chapter 208: General Assembly Waves
Eating, drinking, and connecting are important, but getting down to business is even more important. So taking advantage of the interval between drinking, Liu Zhuang asked about this order meeting: "A few big brothers! My brother is in the middle of nowhere, and you are well-informed. Is there any special news for this order meeting? ”
"Yes! You still don't know? Zhang Feng took advantage of the wine to introduce it in detail, "This order meeting is lively to see." I heard that Hujiang Automobile felt that Santana was not worried about selling and wanted to increase the ex-factory price. But who wants to give up all the money to Hujiang Automobile? Therefore, both parties have found a group of leaders in the ministry to support, and at this meeting, it is likely to fight openly and secretly. ”
"Huh?" Liu Zhuang didn't expect such an accident at all. He is still worried about the indicators of Qingang Electromechanical, but now there is a sudden increase in the ex-factory price? How could it be so unsmooth?
Seeing Liu Zhuang's surprised expression, Zhang Feng was even more proud. He continued to taunt: "I guess in the end, we will give up one step each, and it will go up a little bit!" ”
"Brother Zhang!" Liu Zhuang was a little puzzled, "Didn't you make less money after the price increase?" You don't seem to care much, do you? ”
"Anyway, the electromechanical company and Hujiang Automobile are both national enterprises, and the left pocket is replaced by the right pocket." Zhang Feng smiled, "But ...... I always care a little about how much, and the cost of reimbursement and hospitality is always less. But then again, we can also raise the price on the customer's head? Maybe you can make a lot of money like at the beginning. ”
Liu Zhuang is right to think about it. And now is not the time to care about this issue, at least there are indicators first, and then consider the issue of price increases, right? So he continued to ask, "Brother Zhang! Is there a way to get the indicator? The younger brother's Qingang Electromechanical is waiting for rice to be put into the pot every month. ”
"Yo, that's hard." Zhang Feng immediately frowned, "For the sake of indicators, all major mechanical and electrical companies are secretly competing." If it weren't for the unevenness of our mechanical and electrical company, would the grandsons of Hujiang Automobile raise prices? In the final analysis, it's all the fault of our electromechanical company! Hey! ”
……
Zheng Xiaofei and the others, like Liu Zhuang, went around to inquire about the news. But they are worse than Liu Zhuang, and they haven't even heard the news of the ex-factory price increase. Not to mention finding the way to the Santana indicator.
Zheng Xiaofei said that they were asking around, but in fact, they followed Lu Chunan around every day. As long as Lu Chunan invites guests to dinner, Zheng Xiaofei always "rushes" to pay the bill. A lot of money was spent, but it didn't work. In the final analysis, a "newcomer" like Qingang Electromechanical is indeed too much of a loss in terms of news and relationships.
In the end, Liu Zhuang, Zheng Xiaofei and others had no hope at all. If there is a way, no matter how slim the hope is, it is still a direction to work towards. But ...... now? There's nowhere to do it? Forget it, let's take a trip to Hujiang!
In the blink of an eye, it is time for the official opening. Hujiang Automobile is quite grand. It's quite formal. Banner flower baskets, cheongsam beauties, conference venues, leaders' speeches, and summary reports of Hujiang Automobile...... Anyway, after a few hours passed, Liu Zhuang was already a little drowsy.
But just as the summary report was coming to an end, there was a wave in the venue.
“…… The reason why our Santana will sell so well is also thanks to the strong support of our brother units. In order to better promote Santana to the national market, Hujiang Volkswagen will further tap the potential and increase production; Adjust the ex-factory price and sales price, and develop together with all brother units......"
Just as he was talking about this, a leader in his fifties in the middle of the rostrum interjected with a smile: "Oh? Do you also need to adjust the ex-factory price and sales price? Let's talk about it. What is the adjustment method? ”
……
"It's coming, it's coming!" Zhang Feng, who was sitting next to him, excitedly pushed Liu Zhuang, and he introduced in a low voice, "This is Vice Minister Shi in the ministry." The major mechanical and electrical companies did not want to raise prices, so they asked Minister Shi for support. It's funny. Last year, Minister Shi supported Hujiang Automobile and forced the major mechanical and electrical companies to eat Santana's indicators. This year, he supported the electromechanical company. It's really feng shui in turn! ”
Liu Zhuang glanced at Minister Shi curiously, and also saw that Minister Shi was not good. Such a big price increase is definitely a good idea in advance. It is impossible for such a big leader as Minister Shi not to know. And pretending not to know here must have its intentions.
And the CEO of Hujiang Automobile, who made the report, was also a little embarrassed. According to the original plan of Hujiang Automobile, that is, before the end of the order meeting. Issue a "Notice of Price Adjustment". And the major mechanical and electrical companies are dissatisfied, you can also fool the past, after all, the order will also end, so many mechanical and electrical companies can not be united, can be completely divided. However, it is different to make a public announcement at today's conference, and it is easy to form a crowd of emotions and add a lot of unnecessary resistance.
Minister Shi has already spoken, and if he doesn't say it, he can't do it. So the boss laughed a few times and said, "I'm going to raise it by about 5,000, depending on the model ......."
"Coax ......!" The entire conference hall really exploded. It's one thing to have a rumor behind it, it's another thing to make a public announcement. Personnel ...... of various mechanical and electrical companies You have to vent your frustrations, right?
And Minister Shi also put away his smile and frowned: "There are some problems with the price policy, right?" ”
And Minister Shi's question is to the point. Because prices were not completely liberalized at this time, many commodities were still subject to a dual-track system of planned and unplanned prices.
For example: let's talk about Jingren Paper! The Qingang Paper Mill, which provides pure wood pulp base paper for Jingren Paper, may have a cost of 5,000 yuan a ton, not to mention the unplanned market price, but only to say that the ex-factory price set by the planned price bureau may be 4,500 yuan a ton.
Here's a guarantee that you read that right. Right! It is that the price is upside down, and you will lose 500 yuan if you sell a ton. Moreover, the Price Bureau does not allow you to raise prices, and the Planning Commission (later renamed the National Development and Reform Commission) also requires you to ensure that you complete the annual production plan. Such a manufacturer, although the product may be very popular, can be profitable......? Let's not look at profits with tears, right?
So at that time, many national collective enterprises were dragged down alive in this way. Why is that? The Qingang area wanted to merge the paper mill into Jingren Paper.
In addition to factors such as political performance, not to mention that it can get rid of a burden, Jingren Paper's glass cardboard is a new product, and the pricing of the Price Bureau will also be based on the market price, and there is no difference between unplanned and planned. Therefore, those loss-making pure wood pulp base paper can be digested within Jingren Paper. (To be continued......)
