Volume 1 The Year of the Hair Bundle Chapter 101 Emergencies
Chen Jie's casual question made Lu Guoping difficult, because this question triggered two emotions in her bones, and under normal circumstances, these two emotions would not be opposed, but because of Chen Jie's question, Lu Guoping is now contradictory.
As Lu Guoping said, international trade in recent years has not been as good as in previous years.
Lu Guoping was transformed from a trading agent, and the supply of goods in his hands are labor-intensive products such as textiles, ceramics and tea, and the export market for these commodities has been saturated, and the profits are far less than before.
Therefore, in the past two years, Lu Guoping's company has been seeking new transformation opportunities, and she feels that the future export market will gradually change to a capital-intensive and technology-intensive direction, so she has been looking for cooperation in this area.
Now that we have seen the right direction, we must first solve the problem of supply, Lv Guoping is now most optimistic about the export market of electronic products, and high-tech companies with their own brands often have their own export channels, Lv Guoping has no way to participate in the temporary, but OEM manufacturers she still has the opportunity to cooperate, as long as they can stand firm in this direction, the company's future growth is hopeful.
After a period of investigation and negotiation, Lu Guoping has recently established cooperative relations with several emerging technology companies with no import and export experience.
And this customer happens to be a key customer that the company has just talked about in the field of electronic products, the importance of the company's future development is self-evident, since it is important, then the customer's relevant information is naturally highly confidential, otherwise their competitors understand the situation and engage in some conspiracy, then the company's development plan will not be stillborn in advance?
But Chen Jie is his son after all, Lu Guoping has always doted on Chen Jie, his son is interested, and Lu Guoping's style naturally wants to tell him.
But once Chen Jie is told about this matter, doesn't that form a risk opening?
The details of this customer and the details of this order are only known to a very few executives, in case Chen Jie is told that there is a problem with the customer's later cooperation, and finally check and find that it is the news that leaked from Chen Jie's line, even if Chen Jie has no subjective malice, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield, who can know what small actions competitors will make?
Just like Ma Tianlai's father can even send his son who has just entered the first year of high school to have a relationship, won't Lu Guoping's competitors be?
In the eyes of others, Lu Guoping may be making a fuss, but Lu Guoping's upbringing has created her character of doubting everything, plus she has been working in the mall for so many years, she knows how greedy capital is in the face of profits, and how to do everything.
Marx had an incisive exposition of the greed of capital: capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum. As soon as there is a proper profit, capital is bold.
If there is a profit of ten percent, he guarantees that it will be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even to the risk of being hanged.
It is often not the proletariat that can truly empathize with Marx's words, but the capitalists themselves. Sometimes, Lu Guoping herself can't tell whether she is controlling capital or being a slave to capital.
The prudence cultivated in the shopping mall made Lu Guoping tend to keep her mouth shut, but if she didn't tell Chen Jie, she would also feel uneasy in her heart.
It is precisely because she does not believe in human nature that she attaches more importance to the mother-son relationship with Chen Jie, and this value also makes her blind and emotional.
She can't express her maternal love as calmly as Chen Guogang, the reason why she has been giving Chen Jie unprincipled doting is that she is afraid that one day Chen Jie will not be close to her and become estranged, then she will really have nothing.
Just like now, she was worried that if this matter was done officially, Chen Jie would have a dislike for her, in fact, Lu Guoping should know Chen Jie's character, he would not alienate himself for such a trivial matter, but blindness and uneasiness made Lu Guoping lost.
Once a person is lost, what he could see clearly becomes blurred. Chen Jie would never have thought that his seemingly casual question would bring so much distress to Lu Guoping.
However, Lu Guoping is responsible for the development of the company after all, the enemy is in the dark, she is in the light, and the security brought by choosing secrecy is still more important than the suspicion that Chen Jie may have, so after weighing the pros and cons, her worries about the enemy outweighed Chen Jie's worries about her estrangement, and she finally chose to be silent.
Chen Jie saw that his mother was secretive, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Guoping felt that her refusal just now made the atmosphere a little awkward, so she immediately changed the topic and talked about other things. Of course. This is just her personal feeling, Chen Jie didn't feel embarrassed at all, he felt that his mother naturally had a reason not to say it, it was normal, so he was still calm.
In fact, Lu Guoping originally planned to take advantage of Chen Jie to come over and have a good chat with him about the latter's future career plan. Lu Guoping's previous plan was to wait for Chen Jie to come to the company to exercise after she finished her studies, even if she didn't do this industry in the future, she could at least master the relevant experience of the company's operation first.
But she never thought that Chen Jie, who usually looked very traditional, would think that he would take such an unusual path in the future, and he would want to drop out of school to speculate in stocks, so she had to have a good talk with Chen Jie before he went far on this road.
Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and before Lu Guoping could get into the topic, her phone rang.
"Mr. Lu, something went wrong with the customer." The voice on the phone sounded very anxious.
"What's the problem?" Lu Guoping, who was still kind just now, immediately became serious when he heard this.
After briefly describing the ins and outs there, Lu Guoping was anxious at the time and reprimanded: "Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?!" ”
The call was made by an executive from the company, who was in charge of a key account that had just been recently discussed.
It turned out that this batch of goods was shipped tomorrow as planned, so the company raced against time to complete all the formalities on the last day of September, that is, I was afraid that the customs would not be able to deliver the goods in time due to insufficient manpower during the National Day, but today's customs inspection happened to find a batch of goods that were not on the list, and if they were not processed as soon as possible, they would definitely not be able to send the goods tomorrow.
But now the customs window has been closed, go to the normal channel as soon as October 4 after the delivery, before the promise to be good, if now temporarily change the delivery time not only faces the risk of default, the company's reputation is also very harmful.
In addition, it is a key customer, once the trust is broken this time, it will be very difficult to cooperate in the future, and it will definitely have an impact on the future development of the company.
But this executive is actually out of kindness, the boss rarely meets his son, and he will definitely not make this call to harass the reunion of mother and son unless he has to.
But now that things are stuck here, he really can't dredge up with his relationship, and it is related to the company's development plan, and this executive has no choice, even if he knows that he will definitely be scolded for this call, he has to make a call.
If you want to say that this executive can't help it, does Lu Guoping have a way?
This is going to talk about the cleverness in Chen Guogang's eyes, after all, Lu Guoping has been in Baicheng for so many years, and there are always some relationships, and at this time, normal channels are not good, so you can only rely on brushing your face.
But in Chen Guogang's view, rules are meant to be followed, not for you to transgress, if you are also special, he is also special, then the country's laws and regulations will not become ornaments! Knowing that the risk of National Day delivery is so big, you should think about it in advance when you first negotiate the contract.
Lu Guoping is actually clear about this reason, and with the gradual standardization of government operations over the years, it has become more and more difficult to rely on relationships, and favors are becoming more and more expensive, and she doesn't want to use it unless she has to. But now that the arrow is ready to be sent, what will people think when they go to talk to the customer about changing at this time? The first cooperation is such a moth, how dare others hand over the goods to you with confidence in the future?!
And when we first talked about cooperation, Lu Guoping's selling point was that the supply of goods was that she was highly efficient, and it was not easy to go wrong.
In fact, the customer doesn't care much about the night and a few days, the reason why he has to choose China's National Day to ship is nothing more than to try whether Lu Guoping's mouth is not easy to go wrong is true or fake, everyone is a businessman, no one has less eyes than others, there can be a few words of truth on the mouth, you have to try it once to know, right?
Since it is not easy for executives to brush their faces, they can only brush Lu Guoping now. Lu Guoping knew that she had to go this time, so before the meal was finished, she hurriedly put on her coat and prepared to go out.
Before leaving, she also specially explained to Chen Jie: "Mom has something to go to the company, just put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink after eating, and the private care of the property will handle it tomorrow." ”
As soon as Lu Guoping closed the door, the whole room was deserted again.
After pulling the rice in the bowl, he put down the chopsticks, and then put the leftovers from the three plates into one plate, and then put a plate to prevent the smell and put it in the refrigerator, and the rest of the empty plates, empty bowls and the measuring cups he used before put them into the sink.
The first meal of the mother and son meeting ended in such a daze, Chen Jie estimated from the tone of Lu Guoping's phone just now that she would not be able to come back for a while, since the next time will be spent alone, what should I do?
By the way, watching a movie seems to be a good choice.
