Chapter 65: It's a villain
When this question was mentioned, Zhao Hongbing also sighed in his heart. Although he still has a lot of hidden assets, several companies in the Shenzhen market have been running very well.
It's not that the payment has not been delayed, but it has really expanded in the field of clothing, and it is found that the payment arrears in the clothing field are the most.
However, Zhao Hongbing is Zhao Hongbing after all, and he has to look at this issue from the standpoint of a retailer.
"Sixty days is too short, let's still ninety days!"
"Boss, do you really want to extend it to ninety days?" Tong Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
He knows his own boss, and his boss is a manufacturing owner, so he is very considerate of the merchants and manufacturers he works with many times.
In terms of the speed of payment collection, many brands will not take the initiative to give it when they collect the payment without repeated urging from the manufacturer.
However, the financial department of Ulis Clothing generally pays the payment directly to the manufacturer's account when the 30-day deadline for shipment arrives, and there is absolutely no arrears.
"Time is running out...... Zhao Hongbing muttered to himself, saying something that seemed a little inexplicable to Tong Xiang.
In Zhao Hongbing's view, Yuris clothing should speed up its expansion before May 2003.
"Tong Xiang, you can contact our manufacturers and tell them about the recent changes in our company's policy, hoping that they can understand our difficulties." Zhao Hongbing said loudly.
Between now and May 2003, it will be more than half a year.
Half a year later, there will be a storm. All of these will have a profound impact on the future pattern of the apparel industry!
Now, Zhao Hongbing is borrowing from the practices of his peers and expanding by extending the method of collecting payments from suppliers, which is his best choice for the upcoming 2003.
"Okay, I got it." Tong Xiang showed that he already knew what Zhao Hongbing meant.
He knew very well that the payment cycle of Uuris Clothing would be increased from one month to 90 days, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction among some suppliers, and even some suppliers would directly terminate their cooperation with Uuris Clothing because of this.
Communicating with suppliers, finding alternative suppliers, and preparing for the design and promotion of the newly established Tianzhi brand, Tong Xiang knew that the next week or two would not be easy.
A few days later, after several rounds of communication, Mr. Shi Lei, the agent of Barbari Company in Jiang Province, and Mr. Sheng, the agent of Lin Province, finally went to Yangcheng to meet with Zhao Hongbing. After almost a day of talks, Zhao Hongbing and the two agents finally reached a cooperation agreement.
Mr. Shi Lei has decided to open 15 Tianzhi clothing franchise stores by March next year, while Mr. Sheng will open five Tianzhi franchise stores by 2003.
Zhao Hongbing is very satisfied with the fact that Tianzhi clothing has finally opened sales in these two provinces. As for whether these two provincial agents of Barberry clothing reorganized the original Barbarie clothing store into Tianzhi clothing store or opened a new store, Zhao Hongbing did not ask much.
In his opinion, the most important thing is that Barbarie Clothing has two major provincial agents defecting to him. Under their demonstration, many agents will invest in Tianzhi clothing in the future.
Zhao Hongbing took over a large part of the original sales network of Barbalie clothing, which was definitely not a difficult task.
In the following days, Zhao Hongbing arranged the design of Tianzhi clothing styles in the Ulris clothing operation center, analyzed relevant market data, etc., and was very busy.
Half a month passed in a flash, and in December, the south became colder.
On this day, as soon as Zhao Hongbing arrived at the Uulis clothing operation center, he received a call that was not unfamiliar.
"Hey, hello, is it Zhao Hongbing Boss Zhao?" The middle-aged male voice on the opposite side was polite.
Zhao Hongbing smiled, his face full of sarcasm. He is familiar with this phone number, half because it is someone he has known for a long time, and half because the phone number is very exaggerated, a series of auspicious numbers.
"It's Da Zhuang, oh no, it's Da Zhuang boss, right?" Zhao Hongbing bit the word "boss" very hard.
The person on the other side of the phone, who else would it be if it wasn't Da Zhuang?
Da Zhuang was originally a subordinate of Zhao Hongbing's good brother Boss Lin, and later Boss Lin jumped off the building. His company was closed down, and many employees lost their jobs.
Zhao Hongbing used the convenience of the United Chamber of Commerce to arrange for some people to work in various companies, and Da Zhuang had to enter Zhao Hongbing's company.
But within a year or two, the Shenzhen market has changed greatly, Zhao Hongbing has been affected, and the first group of people to leave the company is Da Zhuang.
So this big man is the most likely person to defect, and he is a villain.
"Haha, I didn't expect Boss Zhao to remember me." Da Zhuang's voice carried an embarrassed smile: "I'm just relying on others to eat, and I don't have much interest."
It's Boss Zhao, you, the business is getting bigger and bigger. Not long ago, I heard from a processing plant owner who helped you do OEM that you are doing a big business now. ”
Da Zhuang's voice sighed, the last time we met was five or six years ago.
At that time, the Shenzhen market was turned upside down, and he knew that Zhao Hongbing's life was not very good, so he broke off his desire to contact Zhao Hongbing.
was even afraid that Zhao Hongbing would come to him for help, so he didn't see it if he couldn't see it. Who knows, in just five or six years, he Zhao Hongbing actually turned over in Yangcheng again, even better than before.
It really made him feel that the five big characters "The Tide of the Times" inscribed by the former mayor of Shenzhen City to Zhao Hongbing are really interesting.
It's just that there are still a lot of things he doesn't know, if he knows that Zhao Hongbing's assets in the Shenzhen market are not only the same, but even hundreds of times over, his eyes may have fallen.
"It's okay, but now the competition in any industry is fierce, and it will be more fierce in the future, and it is becoming more and more difficult to make money." Zhao Hongbing knew that this former employee, who had not been in touch for many years, suddenly came to him, and he must have come to him for help.
After a little greeting, Zhao Hongbing asked directly: "Boss Dazhuang, when you call me, are you still thinking about me, an old colleague, what is the way to make a fortune, thinking about me?" ”
Zhao Hongbing's words, Da Zhuang on the other side of the phone turned red. Even if you are a shameless person, you have to be embarrassed.
"Haha, what did Boss Zhao say?
Of course I'm thinking about you, no, I've been in the clothing business for the past few years, and now I happen to have a new item in hand, and I think it's best to sell it in your place. ”
Afraid that Zhao Hongbing would refuse immediately, Da Zhuang hurriedly explained: "This batch of goods was ordered by a customer a few months ago, and this one has just been shipped, and they suddenly don't want it."
I'm here, I'm here...... It's a pity to look at it like this, so, so ......
The quality is absolutely no problem, and we are old acquaintances, I will definitely give you the lowest price. If Boss Zhao thinks it's appropriate, I can take some samples over to Boss Zhao to show you. ”
"Hehe, the big strong boss is really generous."
