Chapter 726: Procurement Tasks (Part II)

Xia is on the mainland, the land of abundance.

Lu Yi, a parts manufacturer, took a taxi back home with a smell of alcohol.

His wife and children had already fallen asleep, and he didn't disturb them, Lu Yi simply scrubbed it, and then poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Business is getting harder and harder!"

In recent years, with the intensification of international conflicts, European and American countries, which have single-handedly concluded a global alliance after World War II, have also begun to re-examine their strategies.

When they discovered that globalization, which they had led in the past, had indeed brought convenience to the development of some countries while continuing to economically colonize other countries in the new era, a new Cold War mentality began to revival.

The selfish and arrogant Anglo-Saxons, from the Great Voyage to modern times, have successfully leapt from an inconspicuous barbarian nation to the most powerful race in the world through a series of colonial expansion and plunder.

They hold power, wealth, stand on the moral high ground, enjoy the priority of mating, and naturally do not want the privileges of the world that their ancestors have built up for hundreds of years to be taken away.

As a result, these voices that once advocated for globalization have now become the biggest saboteurs and gravediggers of globalization.

While planning all kinds of disputes and wars, they stand on the moral high ground and dictate the internal affairs of other countries, using protectionism and trade barriers as weapons to attack and undermine globalization.

Affected by this, the international environment has become worse and worse in recent years.

The world factory of the Xia Kingdom, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the era of economic globalization and at the same time another world aristocracy before the rise of the Anglo-Saxons, has rightly become the main target of the attacks of the regime established by the Anglo-Saxons.

A businessman like Lu Yi, who has a small net worth, can be regarded as the type of person who has the most acute sense of the economic barometer.

He is only 36 years old this year, and he is a rich second generation.

His father waved his hands in the eighties of the last century, and after graduating from college, he first worked as a workshop worker in an automobile company.

By the end of the last century, Lu Yi's father set up his own business and established his own business by using the technology and contacts he had mastered in more than ten years of working in an automobile company.

After more than ten years, when Lu Yi took over two years ago, his father, who died of stomach cancer, left him a parts company with total assets of about one billion, four factories, more than 3,000 workers, and more than 170 different auto parts.

Although his father left relatively suddenly, Lu Yi also went home after graduating from college and was taken by his father to discipline him for more than ten years.

After his death, Lu Yi took over the management of the company and his former contacts very smoothly.

But this still can't save the company's decline in the past two years, because with the frequent local protectionism in international trade in the past two years, many companies in Xia have been forced to impose high tariffs on their products exported to Europe and the United States.

The automobile-related industry can be said to be a relatively complete industrial system in Europe and the United States, especially in old Europe, which spares no effort to crack down on the automobile industry in other countries.

Lu Yi's company focuses on the production of auto parts, although it is not the largest in Xia country, but it can definitely be regarded as a group of manufacturers who pay the most attention to quality.

In the past, their products were basically not sold in China, because there were hundreds of domestic peers who needed to compete, and they could only try to cut costs by trying to cut their costs, and the profits were extremely meager.

Lu Yi's father used to look down on the meager profits in China, but now that the tariffs they need to pay for their products exported overseas are getting higher and higher, there are not many options left for Lu Yi.

Tonight, he invited a manager of a car company in the province to visit his factory and entertain him.

However, the attitude of the other party made Lu Yi a little annoyed, the quality of the parts produced by their company is high, so the price of the finished product is much higher than that of domestic counterparts.

Because of the different production costs of different countries, when Lu Yi's products were sold overseas, they could still make a good profit because of the higher costs in the regions where the European car companies cooperated, and naturally only needed to ensure the quality.

Now, high tariffs have caused European car companies to replace other parts manufacturers, Lu Yi wants to compete with domestic counterparts for orders from Xia Guo car companies, so he has to find ways to reduce costs.

In the past, both Lu Yi's father and he had worked hard, and now their company has reduced the cost to the limit that can be achieved under the current quality.

If you want to go down, you can only use your brains on quality and materials like some unconscionable enterprises.

But Lu Yi is obviously reluctant to take this step, his mother died in a car accident when she was very young, whether the results of the investigation show that the car's braking system is faulty.

Because of this experience, both his father and Lu Yi always adhered to the final bottom line while seeking profits, that is, product quality.

Picking up the water cup and taking a sip of hot tea, Lu Yi felt that the wine seemed to dissipate a little.

He was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he thought about the current situation of the company and couldn't help but sigh.

“…… The domestic auto parts market has almost become a red sea of unprofitable ones, and it seems that we have to find a way to export them...... Until then, I'll have to find a way to get some more money to ......."

In the past two years, although Lu Yijia's company has been under-produced, the wages of employees have to continue to be paid, and the factory and equipment maintenance also need money.

Manufacturing companies are asset-heavy companies, and their cash flow is far less abundant than that of other asset-light companies in the service sector.

In the past six months, if Lu Yi hadn't accidentally joined a special chat room, the company would have been unable to sustain itself.

"By the way, I haven't been in the chat room for a while recently, so maybe I can still get some production tasks!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yi quickly opened the computer in his study, clicked directly on a chat software called the magic house on the desktop, and skillfully double-clicked [Xia Guo Science and Technology Exchange Room 1] in dozens of densely packed chat rooms.

The chat room quickly pops up a password entry box, and an invitation code is required to enter the chat room.

Lu Yi, who still had some alcohol, thought about it carefully before remembering the new invitation code he had just received a few days ago, and then clicked OK in the input box.

The next moment, the chat room interface pops up.

It was already late at night in winter, but the chat room was hot at this time.

"Hahahaha, thank you for the benefits that the administrator has won for us, this time the task has purchased a lot of materials, and you can make a lot of money......"

"I took two tasks, the deposit of 46 million has been sent to the company's account, and the efficiency of Your Excellency the administrator is still so high, haha......"

"Five tasks, this time I'm going to make a big profit!"

"Administrator: All staff note that this batch of procurement tasks is the benefits given to all members of the Xia Kingdom by the 'Progressive Chinese Federation', and all members can receive them, but the administrator will review the membership and pay a fifty percent deposit in advance after passing. Those who are not qualified to blindly take tasks or provide inferior products will be kicked out of the chat room for the second time once they are found to be warned once. ”
