No. 1380: Hunger Marketing
An Lan cut off, and then said with a straight face: "But listening to you say this, it seems that it is really possible...... When are you going to go, though? ”
"I want to wait."
An Lan is also very smart, she immediately echoed: "Do you want to wait for the rupee to see if we can control the market without reducing prices and improving product quality for the time being?" ”
"My wife is so smart." I smiled.
An Lan also laughed and said, "I learned from you." ”
I took a deep breath and continued to push the swing as I said, "It's not that I don't want to upgrade the product, in fact, upgrading the product is inevitable for us, but not now...... Therefore, if I can control the European market without upgrading the product, I am of course willing to continue to cooperate with Rupee. ”
"Well, it's the best of both worlds, so wait!"
I smiled and didn't continue to talk about it, but instead asked An Lan, "What do you want to eat tonight, Madame?" ”
"I'll eat whatever you do."
"That'...... How about eating me? ”
"I just ate it yesterday, so I'll let you go today." I don't know when it started, Anlan also likes to joke with me.
I love the feeling between us now, that's what it's like to be a real family.
Dinner was made by me and Anlan, not rich, but very warm.
After eating, An Lan and I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, and I felt that these things should be shared by the two of us.
While washing the dishes, An Lan suddenly said to me, "Chen Feng, I have an idea. ”
"You say."
"I'm looking for an aunt."
"Are you afraid of cooking?"
"No, find an aunt who can help bring Xiaoman by the way, otherwise like today, I have to go to the company for a meeting, and Xiaoman can only go to the company with me, which is very troublesome."
I was stunned and asked, "What about your mother?" Why don't you let her take it for us? ”
An Lan shook her head and said: "My mother is also so old, and she doesn't want to return to China, so she is going to enjoy her old age in London." ”
"I have no relatives over there, how good it is to come back!"
"He has friends and relatives over there, but not in China, and I told her before that she doesn't want to come back, so I respect her."
I didn't say anything more, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it's just tomorrow Saturday, I'll go to the babysitting market with you." ”
"Hmm."
……
For two days on the weekend, I accompanied An Lan and Xiaoman, and also took Xiaoman to the zoo and underwater world.
We also went to the nanny market to find an aunt, the aunt is a local, has a good personality, and has a lot of experience with babies.
An Lan and I were also relieved to hand over Xiaoman to her, and two days passed in a blink of an eye, which was the fastest weekend I felt.
On Monday, after I went to work, I received very bad news.
Rupee's sales network in Europe had a problem, but he kept it from me, until now he really had no choice, so he came to the company to find me.
I'm angry about this, he should have told me as soon as possible, and I'll have to find a way to solve it.
However, in order to stabilize the supply of goods on our side, he did not tell me these problems at the first time, resulting in a large number of our goods being hoarded in European ports, and now the goods are full, and the warehouse cannot be filled before he knows that he has come to me.
"Chen Dong, I know, I should tell you as soon as possible...... But I thought I should be able to fix it, but ......"
I raised my hand, interrupted him, and said coldly: "Don't do it anymore, you think you can handle it, what did you think about how to deal with it?" ”
"Hunger marketing, Entu has lowered the price, and you don't reduce the price, and you don't improve the quality of the product, but what if I'm caught in the middle? I had to come up with this plan. ”
"The result?"
Rupee spread his hands and sighed, "It's me who didn't think it through enough." ”
I was very angry, but I didn't want to be angry with him, so I still said calmly: "I hope you don't tell me that you don't think it through in the future, since we are partners, then you should tell me as soon as something happens...... You're doing that, and you're making me very passive. ”
"I know, Chen Dong...... I will bear all the losses myself. ”
I tried to control my emotions and said, "I repeat, we are partners, and we don't change partners easily." So if there is any difficulty, you can always tell me as long as you need. ”
Ruby nodded, then stood up and said with a smile: "I know Dong Chen, I apologize to you for this matter, but you must give me an answer as soon as possible...... Again, either reduce the price or improve the quality. ”
"Okay, I know, you can go back first."
Shortly after Rupee left, Anlan came to my office again.
She put a document in her hand on my desk and said, "I just got the news that there is a big problem with the sales network of the rupee in Europe, and a large number of goods are currently hoarded at the port. ”
I looked at the documents An Lan brought, then put them aside and said to her, "Don't read it, I know everything." ”
"You found out so quickly?"
"Ruby was here just before you came to me, and he was desperate, so he came to me."
An Lan suddenly got angry and said, "What the hell is this rupee doing?" It's a shame that we trust him so much, and if there is such a big problem, why didn't he tell us in the first place? ”
"Don't talk about this, what do you think about this?"
Anlan sat down before saying, "I think our sales channels are too weak, as far as I know, the distributors of the rupee have already gone to YM for almost half of them. ”
"You're right, there is another key problem, which is that these foreign businessmen are not interested in our products, so now we are reducing the price in addition to improving the quality of our products."
An Lan was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you think we can expand our sales channels?" ”
"You mean to give up the rupee?"
"If she doesn't have this strength, then we can't hang ourselves from a tree!"
I was silent for a moment, staring at An Lan for a long time before saying, "If he hadn't come to me to say those words today, maybe I would have made the same choice as you." ”
An Lan frowned slightly: "What did he come to tell you?" ”
I smiled and said, "He said he was playing a big game of chess, and he wanted to deal with our goods in a hunger marketing way, so those products were actually deliberately overstocked by him." ”
"Huh!?" An Lan said incredulously.
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "When he told me this, I reacted the same way as you, and I have to say that this rupee is very good at business, but he is too eager to make quick gains." ”
An Lan's frowning brow loosened slightly, and then asked me, "Do you have any good opinions?" ”
"Think about it from another perspective, if I were him, then I would bet on whether Yuanfeng Group could upgrade its products...... If I bet on it, then I'm right for my hunger marketing idea. ”
"He can't gamble like this, it's not good for him to do this, and he can only bear the loss this time."
"He said that he took responsibility for himself, and it can be seen from this incident that he is very responsible, so I believe that he is a partner worthy of our long-term cooperation."
After saying that, I looked out the window and let out a long breath, "It's time to go, we can't sit still anymore." ”
