Chapter 32 Returns
Mu Feng's contract with White Horse Company was signed very smoothly, and he paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan, which was signed in the morning, and the sisters and brothers returned to Yuehua in the afternoon.
According to the contract, the White Horse Company increased its advertising efforts in Dongjiang Province, but Mu Feng still did not think it was strong enough, so he signed a contract for 50,000 advertising fees at the provincial TV station.
Mu Feng knows that at this time, the advertising money spent on TV stations is real, and in the era when the Internet and mobile phones have not yet been popularized, TV is an absolute authoritative platform, and it is also the most effective publicity.
The money spent on advertising now may soon return to other aspects, which can not only promote the determination of municipal agents, but also allow the people of the province to become familiar with Baima instant noodles as soon as possible.
It should be said that compared with a certain master and a certain instant noodles, Baima instant noodles do not have an advantage in marketing because of the late production time and the advanced technology in all aspects. Fortunately, at this time, although the other two instant noodles have already entered Dongjiang Province, they have not invested much in publicity and marketing, leaving an opportunity for Baima to take advantage of.
In fact, the reason why Mu Feng invested in Baima instant noodles was that he saw this brand, and of course he, the reborn person, knew that this factory developed very well later, with an annual output value of tens of billions. The second is to understand that this manufacturer takes special care of the disabled, so that many disabled people have achieved the goal of supporting themselves through labor, so that such a socially responsible enterprise is worthy of cooperation. The third is that Mu Feng knows that the end of the 20th century is the era when the pace of people's work and life begins to gradually accelerate, although this time is not as nervous and anxious as the last 20 years, but many people have begun to speed up the pace, instant noodles This time-saving convenience food will become more and more marketable.
The intensification of advertising soon had an effect, and several cities called to contact the municipal agents.
In this regard, Mu Yun behaved very calmly, and communicated with the other party according to the agency agreement written by Mu Feng before, she had already remembered these clearly, and it would not be wrong to close her eyes on a few key points.
The problem of negotiation lies in the amount of the deposit, Mufeng stipulates that the municipal agent must pay a deposit of 15,000 before signing the contract, some do not want to pay, and some want to pay less.
Mu Yun patiently explained at first, but later directly said that the margin was a matter of principle and would not allow a point, which caused a few callers to hang up the phone directly.
Mu Yun asked Mu Feng to discuss whether the margin could fluctuate up and down, and he would have more chips when negotiating.
Mu Feng directly cut off Mu Yun's thoughts, saying that the deposit should not be less, and the white horse instant noodles will definitely sell well in the future, so don't worry about not finding a municipal-level agent, and those who don't want to pay or pay less will be exempted from talking.
As it turned out, Mu Feng was right.
Of course Mu Feng was right, he already knew the facts.
In less than a month, Muyun Tan became 9 municipal-level agents, and Baima instant noodles gradually entered the local market.
Mu Yun is getting more and more tired, and he has to take care of the handicraft business and open up the instant noodle market.
In this regard, Mu Feng is not very worried. He knew that in less than two months, Mu Yun would have his right-hand man appear.
In his last life, before Mu Feng's college entrance examination, a matchmaker went to Mu Feng's house to propose marriage to Mu Yun, and it was Liu Lei who asked the matchmaker to come.
is very familiar with Liu Lei, Mu Yun is very familiar with Liu Zhuang in the suburbs, her junior high school classmate.
Liu Lei liked Mu Yun when he was in school, and Mu Yun also admired him, but the boys and girls of that era were more conservative and didn't dare to confess boldly.
Liu Lei, like Mu Yun, did not go to school again after graduating from junior high school. In the past few years, I have learned to drive, become a big car driver, and rent other people's cars to run around the north and south.
Of course, Mu Feng is very familiar with Liu Lei, he was his brother-in-law in his last life, and he is the kind of good brother-in-law that Mu Feng thinks. In his previous life, Mu Feng bought a house, and Liu Lei and Mu Yun used almost half of their family funds to support him.
Liu Lei is very smart and kind-hearted, he has been running long distances for several years, and his horizons have been broadened, and he is more shrewd and capable. In his previous life, he was very good to his family and friends, very measured, and filial to his parents, Mu Congli and Zhou Guilan were very satisfied with this son-in-law.
It was necessary for Mu Fengjue to let this assistant appear earlier. An incident that followed accelerated Mu Feng's efforts to realize the idea.
At noon, Mu Feng was eating in the cafeteria with Fang Jing, Gangzi, and Liu Juan, and just sat down to prepare for dinner, Mu Feng saw Mu Yun hurriedly running into the cafeteria.
Mu Feng put down the lunch box and walked over to Mu Yun while beckoning to her.
Mu Yun came closer, grabbed Mu Feng, and said breathlessly: "Something happened, Zhuang Jingxian said to return it." ”
Mu Feng motioned for Mu Yun to come outside the cafeteria and said, "What's wrong, don't worry, speak slowly." ”
"In the morning, Zhuang Jingxian called and said that the quality of our batch of goods was too poor and asked for a return, which is more than 20,000 yuan." Mu Yun said anxiously.
"What is this?" Mu Feng asked.
"It's the simplest craft of flowers."
"Have you seen it before shipping?"
Hearing Mu Feng ask, Mu Yun looked embarrassed and said: "I am busy with the affairs of instant noodle agents these days, thinking that this batch of goods is simple, so I let my classmate Zhang Fengxia be fully responsible, I asked her just now, she said that the goods are fine, it must be Huayun's side that is making things difficult for us." ”
"Leave this matter alone, I'll take a look." Mu Feng sent Mu Yun away, and then ate in the cafeteria.
Seeing Mu Feng's solemn expression, Gangzi and Fang Jing both guessed that there might be something wrong with Mu Feng's family, but he didn't say anything, and everyone didn't ask about the specific situation.
After eating, Mu Feng went to the commissary to call Zhuang Jingxian, Zhuang Jingxian had not left the office, received a call from Mu Feng, and first counted him down, saying that the quality of the futures port has generally declined, especially this batch of craft flowers are deformed, falling branches and leaves, and the petals are messy, which is simply unsightly.
After talking about the quality of the goods, Zhuang Jingxian softened her tone and said: "Mr. Mu, can you be the shopkeeper, some goods still need to be strictly controlled." ”
Mu Feng felt that Hua Yun was a little disappointed here, but the situation could be cleaned up, so he said: "Please return all this batch of goods, let's hurry up and make a new batch and send it over." ”
Zhuang Jingxian was satisfied with Mu Feng's attitude, Mu Feng neither showed mercy to his subordinates, nor did he find various reasons to prevaricate, but directly stated that he would redo it.
Two days later, all the goods were returned to the Yuehua County bus station, and Mu Yun found a few people to pull them back to the warehouse.
Mu Feng Muyun opened a few packs and checked them in turn, it is indeed not good quality, fortunately, it can be dismantled as much as possible, and some raw materials can still be used after dismantling.
Mu Feng said solemnly, "Sister, how about this Zhang Fengxia, you have to check carefully, we can't have this situation in the future, otherwise we will smash our signboard." ”
In the next few days, Mu Yun quietly learned about the situation.
It turned out that in order to catch up with the construction period and make more money, everyone accelerated the speed, especially seeing that some people did very poor quality and were accepted by Zhang Fengxia at the normal price, so more and more people don't care so much about quality.
And Zhang Fengxia as the person in charge of the secondary foundry, the more she collects, the more she pays, the more she naturally earns, although the quality of the goods sent by some relatives and friends is not very high, it is also accepted for the sake of face, and then the situation becomes more and more difficult to manage, as long as it is an acquaintance to deliver, she basically receives the goods directly without inspection.
Mu Feng understood the whole story and discussed with Mu Yun, first, to gather all the second-level foundry leaders for a meeting, mainly to emphasize the quality problem, who receives the consequences. Second, for Zhang Fengxia, she can not be allowed to bear the loss of 20,000 yuan, but this person resolutely cannot be used anymore. The third is to increase the manual cost of junior workers by 10%, but at the same time to emphasize the quality, if the quality is not qualified, will not be charged, and I have to bear the cost of materials.
Mu Yun has no opinion on the first one, but he is a little hesitant to quit Zhang Fengxia and increase the manual fee.
Mu Feng said that now that the handicraft has been made for more than half a year, resigning Zhang Fengxia is to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and not doing this is not enough to deter other personnel, otherwise such things will happen. Increase the labor cost, squeeze the profit margin of potential competitors that may appear, and reduce the survival space of competitors. In our society, once someone discovers a profitable business, many people will immediately flock to it and have to guard against it. At the same time, to increase the cost of manual work, but also to standardize production at the same time, try to retain junior workers, as long as there are enough junior workers, then with the increase in output, their own income will definitely increase.
Mu Yun thought about it and knew that what Mu Feng said was right. looked up at this younger brother, and suddenly found that Mu Feng's eyes were already completely an adult, and while he was happy, he was also wondering how this guy had suddenly matured in more than half a year.
The handicraft business was reorganized, production quickly returned to its original state, and the quality was significantly improved, and some new categories were added.
A month later, Mu Feng called Zhuang Jingxian and asked if there were any problems with the futures products, Zhuang Jingxian did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Mr. Mu, how did you quickly improve the quality of goods in such a short period of time?" ”。
Mu Feng smiled and said, "Keep it secret for the time being, and I'll tell you the next time I see you." ”
Zhuang Jingxian "cut" on the other end of the phone, hung up the phone, and smiled on her face.
