Chapter 67: Industry is Relentless
"A thousand for the Salak Chamber of Commerce, a thousand for the Armani Chamber of Commerce, a thousand for the Falcau Chamber of Commerce...... Three thousand?" Kennard looked at the order Xu Yi handed to him in his hand, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "It's just according to the price, no discount? No discount? That's weird, isn't it, Lord, they don't even pay the price?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Because they know very well that they are not qualified to make a counteroffer, and besides, how can we take the initiative to do any preferential discount activities now." ”
"That's right. Kennard laughed. "After all, this magic locomotive can only be produced by our chamber of commerce, and there is no need to consider what they and the buyers think. But speaking of discounts...... Your Excellency, many other chambers of commerce are now taking advantage of the summer season to launch discounts and promotions for home magic machines, do you think we need to do this?"
"You are the CEO of our Chamber of Commerce, what is your opinion?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.
"I did think about whether we should also do a promotional discount campaign to take back the market that was stolen by other chambers of commerce. But then after seeing the magic locomotive, I dismissed this idea. Kennard replied.
"Oh, why? ”
"Because the freight locomotive is far more capable of carrying goods than horse-drawn carriages, and much safer, and with the road, we can easily move goods to anywhere else in the kingdom of Lampari, so it doesn't matter if some of the markets in Bonta City and the surrounding cities are temporarily lost, we can go elsewhere and open up new markets. With the high quality and performance of our new flying brand magic machine, it is absolutely easy to open up the situation. ”
That's a good idea. Xu Yi smiled and nodded. "I had a discussion with President Cruise and President Pomberg about logistics and transportation planning. The purpose is to facilitate the flow of goods within the kingdom of Lampari. It allows each city to easily transport goods, materials and even manpower to any other city in the kingdom. Times are different now. We should not continue to look beyond the cities around Bonta City, but beyond the borders. ”
"Well, of course, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to become a big chamber of commerce that can affect the entire Lampari Kingdom, but there is no future for staying in Bangta City. So, my lord, I very much agree with your long-term plan. Kennard paused, then added, "But now there's a problem. ”
"What's the problem?"
Kennard got up and walked to an oversized map of the kingdom of Lampari hanging on the wall next to his office, pointing to the small dots of various colors marked on the map with a solemn expression.
"Grow up. You see, the dots on the map are the current distribution of other chambers of commerce in our Lampari Kingdom that are related to the production of magic machinery, according to my relationship with the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xu Yi got up and walked over, his eyes swept over the map, and nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's a lot more than last year." It seems that the magic industry is finally taking off in our kingdom of Lampari, and I am very happy. ”
Kennard smiled bitterly, "Lord, the problem is that you are happy to be ......."
"Oh?
Kennard shook his head, tapped his finger on the map, and said, "According to statistics, these chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery are among them. Most of them actually only get a part of the technology transfer from our new flying chamber and then start production directly. I had a lot of samples collected back. It is determined that the quality and performance of the magic machinery produced by the vast majority of chambers of commerce are very far from our new flying brand magic machinery. ”
"Is there anything wrong with this? Didn't you just say that with the high quality and high performance of our new flying brand magic machine, we can easily open up the situation in other places?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"That's right. But ......" Kennard looked at Xu Yi with a somewhat helpless expression. "Elder, I know very well that what you really hope for is that the magic industry can develop on the entire Sainz continent, and the development of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself is only in second place. That's right, with the high quality and high performance of our new flying brand magic machines, no matter where they are, they can easily defeat these inferior magic machines, but in this way, wouldn't it be against your wishes to suppress these magic machines that are still in their infancy?"
Xu Yi looked at Kennard in surprise, but he didn't expect that this CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, who was extremely capable and far-sighted in his mind, and made him extremely admire and trust, actually had such a delicate side.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Although I really hope that the entire magic industry can flourish in my heart, this is not in conflict with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If it was because the magic machinery produced by these small chambers of commerce was too inferior to withstand the impact of our new flying brand magic machinery and was defeated, it would not be a pity, it would only prove that they were not suitable in the first place. ”
Kennard hesitated, then asked, "But...... After all, they also represent the spark of hope you said earlier, don't they?"
"Remember the saying, machinery is cold, industry is ruthless. This kind of thing in the machinery industry cannot tolerate sloppiness and inferior quality. If they don't have what it takes to survive, then we don't need to have special pity for them. Xu Yizheng said. "If you think it's a pity, think of the other chambers of commerce in Bonta City that produce magic machines. Compared to the chambers of commerce in other places, these chambers of commerce in Bonta City have survived and developed in direct competition with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If our Chamber of Commerce in Bunta City can do it, why can't they?"
"This ......" Kennard pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "I see what you mean." Lord, then when we enter other cities, we will treat it normally. ”
"That's it. Xu Yi glanced at the map, smiled and said, "In addition, I remind you, don't be too arrogant." In many cases, the quality of a product is not necessarily proportional to its sales, and there are many other factors that determine it. ”
Kennard laughed: "Don't worry, Lord, I experienced this very deeply when I was at the Walmart Chamber of Commerce. ”
After saying this, Kennard suddenly moved, returned to his desk, flipped through the desktop for a while, took out a thick text, and then turned to one of the pages and handed it to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took this article, glanced at the cover first, and found that the cover was written in large words "Sample Testing and Evaluation Report".
"What is this?"
"Didn't I just say that people should bring back samples of the magic machinery produced by other chambers of commerce in the kingdom? With this report, we can grasp the current technical strength and commodity level of other chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery in the Kingdom, so that I can formulate countermeasures. Kennard explained.
Xu Yi nodded approvingly: "Very good, Kennard, you deserve to be an excellent CEO." ”
After speaking, Xu Yi reopened the report and saw that the page that Kennard only showed him was about a product inspection report called "Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce".
"Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi frowned and thought for a moment. "Isn't this the Chamber of Commerce where we teamed up with the president of the Wizards' Guild and put it under the name of his son, Anco Allen. What's the problem?"
Kennard's expression was a little strange: "Lord Elder, when we tested the samples of magic machinery produced by other chambers of commerce in the kingdom, we found that there were still many chambers of commerce that had a good grasp of the technology we transferred, so the quality and performance of the magic machinery produced were very good. ”
"Well, that's normal. You see that the Irish brand magic fan launched by the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland on Sunday, both in terms of quality and performance, is already almost the same as our new Fei brand magic fan of the same model. Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is exactly the result I would like to see." ”
"But...... When evaluating and inspecting the magic machinery produced by the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, Canby and the others found some problems...... "Kennard said with some hesitation.
"Some...... Question?" Xu Yi suddenly felt a little strange, looked down at the report in his hand, and wondered: "There is a small gap between the magic machinery of our Chamber of Commerce, this is normal, what's the problem?"
"Kanbi and the others found that although the magic machinery produced by the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce is still a little worse than our new flying brand magic machinery in terms of quality and performance, it is ...... In the magic machinery they produce, they are exactly the same as the magic machinery produced by our Chamber of Commerce in many details. ”
Xu Yi shook his head: "We have a private agreement with President Allen, so it's not surprising that there is special treatment for the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce. ”
"No, Elder, although we did give special technical guidance to the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce under your explanation, ...... There are many of the same details that Canby pointed out that we have not told them at all. For example, regarding the magic array bearing linkage technology of our new generation of magic fans, because we have applied for a patent, it has not been handed over to the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce. However, in the magic fan produced by the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, we have seen the application of this technology. ”
Looking at the hesitant look on Kennard's face, Xu Yi was slightly stunned and immediately understood.
"What do you mean...... There's a leak in our technology?"
Kennard's expression was solemn and he nodded slowly: "Elder, I doubt it...... We have a mole in the chamber of commerce. (To be continued......)
