Chapter 488: She Won't Lose
"You have a mouth, you can say something nice."
Zhou Shulan's original worries dissipated under Amy's teasing, and the master and apprentice had a happy lunch.
In the afternoon, Amy went to Lin Quanyou to thank him.
Although she didn't need to be transferred back to her original department now, she still understood his kindness.
"We came in together, and if you lose, my face won't shine. Amy, you can't lose an old bald head, or I'll make you look good. ”
When Lin Quanyou spoke, he put both hands in his trouser pockets, looking like he was dragging 258,000 yuan, like a rebellious child next door.
Amy sneered and replied:
"Okay, I'm not going to lose."
Faced with the male colleague in front of her, who looked about the same age as her, but the mental age was a generation behind the van, Amy's childishness was also hooked up a lot.
She doesn't want to lose, especially to people like Wang Shuxi.
With a bright smile on her face, Amy once again generously accepted the congratulations of her leaders and colleagues after the final victory of the new soda flavor in the market, completely without her previous low-key style.
Wang Shuxi's face didn't look good for the next month, and she frantically pressurized the maintenance department and her new department.
Unfortunately, this trick is no longer good.
There are a lot of things, very messy and messy, but Amy, who has made great contributions to the soda factory one after another, has not been affected in any way, and even because there are two more departments targeted by Wang Shuxi, everyone's opinions on him are getting bigger and bigger.
And Wang Shuxi has never cared about what the people under him are thinking, he is only willing to talk well with people with a higher status than him, and he doesn't treat his employees as people at all.
In June, Amy was transferred out of the maintenance department and the department developing new flavors and was thrown into a shipping position.
That is, the department that has to work hard to deliver the produced soda.
Sometimes the destination is far away, and it may even take half a month to drive on the road.
The head of the freight department immediately objected.
"Factory director, what we do is hard work, we have to move five or six boxes of soda at a time, Comrade Amy is probably not suitable for this, and the road is so far, you have to sleep in the car, it's too unsafe."
No matter who it is, this time I feel that Wang Shuxi has gone too far.
But he also said with a serious face:
"Everyone is equal, why can't you do it, in our factory, we pay attention to fairness and justice, no one can be special."
Wang Shuxi is like this every time, no matter how disgusting the operation is, the words can be said in a high-sounding manner.
It's a pity that since he arrived at the soda factory, he has said too many such false and empty words, and he has not made any contribution to the soda factory, but Amy has helped the soda factory through several difficulties.
Wang Shuxi didn't realize that his previous series of behaviors against Amy had successfully made Amy have a very good relationship with various departments, and everyone was very vocal about her.
This call refers to the call for her to be the factory director.
In this era, everyone defaults to making gay men better in many important positions, not all because of gender, but because of the actual consideration of physical strength and energy.
However, because what Wang Shuxi did was too much, it made her femininity the most powerful weapon.
"It's really not ashamed that a big factory director is targeting a little girl who has graduated for more than a year."
"The little girl is much more capable than him, and I think the position of the factory director is more suitable for Comrade Amy to sit in."
"That is, occupying the pit and not, nothing has been done, and it has made a mess of one of our good factories, if the old factory director and the original deputy factory director know, they will definitely be so angry that they can't sleep well."
Such a large factory has good benefits, and one of the most important days is that it is very stable, and ordinary people can work here directly until retirement.
Therefore, almost all the employees in the factory have worked with the old factory director before, and the old factory director has a deep relationship.
Now there are two influential figures in the factory, one is Wang Shuxi, who makes trouble everywhere, and the other is Amy, who is trying to solve problems for the factory and generate income, and it is clear who is good and who is not.
But they only dared to talk about these words secretly outside, and did not dare to let others know.
But the factory soon attracted the first crisis.
Because the first two market battles were won by Beiyang Soda Factory, the other seven soda factories finally couldn't sit still and began to cut prices to squeeze the market.
At any time, there are a large number of consumers who will change their stance for cheaper prices, and although everyone's economic level has improved compared with before, the thrift and thrift cultivated in the famine year are still engraved in the bones.
Therefore, the price reduction strategy of the seven major factories has achieved great success, quickly regaining most of the market previously seized by the Beiyang Soda Factory, and even faintly trying to erode the original market of Beiyang.
These market conditions are reflected in the soda factory, that is, orders have fallen sharply, and one of the two production lines is even in a semi-inactive state.
Everyone panicked all of a sudden.
"Could it be that our factory has a problem with efficiency, and then we are going to lay off employees, right?"
"Wasn't it okay before, and I occasionally had to work overtime on the two-day line, why did it suddenly become like this?"
"Find Amy to figure it out, and she'll definitely solve the problem."
Now everyone's hearts are very convincing in Amy.
So, everyone gathered in the department where Amy was.
"Amy, you have to think of a way, if this continues, our factory will lay off employees like other factories."
"I only do the work in the soda factory, and if I get fired, I don't know how to support myself."
"You've always had the best ideas, do you have any ideas?"
Amy probably asked about the situation, and then asked Wang Shuxi for the latest shipment data from the freight department where she was about to go.
After a cursory scan, she had a general idea of the current situation in the soda factory.
"In fact, this is inevitable, but it is not a big deal, as long as we develop more flavors and make some design changes in the outer packaging, we can save a large part of the market."
"Huh? Wouldn't this be too troublesome, wouldn't it be faster to drop the price directly? Otherwise, by the time we get the taste and packaging right, they're going to rob all our customers. ”
This is also what many people think in their hearts.
But Amy just smiled and shook her head.
"The cost of production is placed here, and who is lower than them, in the end, we can only kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, even if we win in the end, in fact, we lose a lot of money, simply put, we grab the market, but we can't make any money and even lose money. And there were a lot of customers before, and they have always supported our sodas, and suddenly the price has dropped so much, what will they think in their hearts? ”
Zhou Shulan replied uncertainly:
"Do you feel cheated? Anyway, if I go to buy vegetables and buy them for 1 cent a pound, and I see others buy them for half a cent a pound, I won't think about buying more at a lower price, I will only feel that I was deceived before. ”
Amy nodded.
"That's right, that's what my master said. We are not a small soda factory, only selling hundreds of bottles and thousands of bottles of soda, we used to sell tens of thousands of dollars, think about how many people have to buy it. These people have been supporting our sodas, and our price reduction is actually a betrayal and hurt to them, which will affect their loyalty to our brand. And again, what is the most fundamental purpose of our soda production? It's to make money, if you only grab the market and lose money, what's the use of grabbing more? ”
She said it simply, and the analogy was also close to life, and everyone quickly understood that they couldn't watch others cut prices and rob customers, and they would also reduce prices.
So, the two departments in charge discussed to study new flavors and think of some ways to do so.
Now that the packaging of beverages has begun to change, people do like to buy the kind that looks better, and if they make the packaging of soda better, more people will definitely want to buy it.
While discussing here, Wang Shuxi suddenly asked several department heads to have a meeting.
Of course, Amy wasn't in it.
Wang Shuxi already understood that these problems would not make it difficult for Amy, but would build momentum for her, and simply stopped letting her participate in these things.
He didn't believe that Amy could still steal the limelight like this.
The theme of the meeting was the price reduction turmoil of the seven major factories.
"I believe you all know, the other factories of soda are like a negotiated price reduction, now our consumers are all robbed by them, like this, our factory will be less and less efficient in the future, and finally have to reduce personnel, less production capacity also declined, so that the market is more less dominant, and finally form a vicious circle, and finally can only go bankrupt. Everyone is an old employee in the factory, and watching the soda factory come to this day step by step, they definitely don't want to watch it fall. So, I'm calling you here today just to hear your opinions on what to do. ”
The soda factory is mainly in charge of production, and more things are not their responsibility.
But this time the crisis was too big, and the leaders at the top lowered their heads and asked them for a solution.
Several people who came to the meeting heard what Amy had said before, and immediately said that they wanted to research new flavors and make packaging.
However, they knew that Wang Shuxi had been targeting Amy, so they didn't make it clear that it was her idea.
Wang Shuxi still disagreed.
"It's not just that new flavors can be researched right away, and it is also expensive to re-do the packaging, and it is too time-consuming to have to make bottles and wrappers to order. Now those factories are moving so big and fast, we don't have time to do things slowly. So, I still think it's best to reduce the price. ”
Wang Shuxi talked about a lot of benefits of price reduction, and finally concluded that price reduction is the best choice.
Someone refuted Amy's point of view, and Wang Shuxi sneered.
"These are just your imaginations, if there are really so many problems, why should the other factories reduce prices? Could it be that so many of their big bosses have problems in their heads and deliberately want to lose money? Definitely not, it must be because there is a greater benefit to be gained by reducing the price. Okay, that's all for the discussion, I will report our discussion to the headquarters, I believe that our sales will soon increase significantly, the following departments are ready, we are going to fight a tough battle. ”
