Chapter 416 No One Is Stupid

Li Ye stayed in Pengcheng for a few more days. He talked with Fu Guiru about Pengcheng Red Bull, and asked Hao Jian about the situation of Pengcheng Factory No. 7. Then he prepared to return to Beijing with Fu Yiru and Pei Wenhui.

Although there are still a few days before the start of school at Peking University, Li Ye feels that he has to go back during these days.

Because the time he spent on the phone with Wen Leyu was getting shorter and shorter.

At the beginning, I could talk for five minutes at a time, and it seemed like I had endless things to say, but just now, after less than a minute, Wen Leyu just said “hmm” a few times and hung up the phone.

What does this sign mean?

Is it possible that the passion of love is fading? But the two of them haven't even reached the state of an old married couple!

No, absolutely not, I have to go back and flirt with girls.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

The phone suddenly rang again. Li Ye did not answer it immediately, but called Fu Yiru over.

This is Fu Guiru's home, and who knows who is calling, so Li Ye will not take the initiative to answer the call unless necessary.

"Hello, who are you looking for? Who are you? Oh~"

After Fu Yiru answered the phone, she asked a few questions and then handed the phone to Li Ye: "It's a man named Li Dayong who wants to see you."

Li Ye took the phone and asked with a smile: "Hey, Dayong, are you sure you are looking for me? Not Xiaohui? Xiaohui is in the living room! Do you want me to call her for you?"

"Brother, please stop laughing at me. I really came to find you."

Li Dayong said on the other end of the phone: "Yesterday, a lot of professors and researchers suddenly came to the factory, and then today Manager Tang told me that our Changbei-2 model still has room for improvement.

I was quite happy at first, but today Guo Tianyong suddenly told me a piece of news, saying that Director Wang had stopped the agency cooperation with Jingxin Trading Company and had given the products to a trading company called "Changnan" for agency sales.

So I quickly asked Tian Hongshan and Brother Peng what was going on, but they didn’t know either, so I called you.”

“.”

Li Ye was still smiling just now, but now all the smile on his face disappeared.

He asked Li Dayong: "Do you know what the wholesale price is for Changnan Trading Company?"

Li Dayong said: "The specific price has not been determined yet, but today Director Wang discussed this matter with Guo Tianyong, and it seemed that he wanted to seize the market, so he offered some kind of discount promotion.

He also said that it was an advanced marketing method learned from our Fenghua brand. Guo Tianyong disagreed and the two had a very unhappy argument.

"He has already given preferential treatment to the trading companies, why is he still trying to seize the market?"

Li Ye sneered and said, "Don't worry about this matter, just let Guo Tianyong handle it. They only see others making money, not others working hard, they are all thinking about good things!"

In fact, Li Ye didn't find Director Wang's tactics new at all, because in the past few years, many influential figures had done the same thing.

In the seller's market situation in the mainland, some companies have been making losses year after year. Why do you think they are losing money?

Because the products of their factory are basically sold at low wholesale prices to several trading companies, you have to go to wholesale companies to buy goods.

You can buy directly from the factory instead of the wholesale company, but the production schedule will be put on hold. If you are willing to wait until the end of time, then just wait!

When the company had been making losses for years, someone finally came out to save the situation, reformed its structure and production, turned losses into profits that year, and made huge profits the following year, presenting a wonderful drama of "a business genius saving a company from the brink of bankruptcy."

If Director Wang still gives the products to Changnan Trading Company for sale at the same price he gave to Tian Hongshan, Li Ye will have nothing to say.

The head of the factory has this right, and the Hong Kong side is the second largest shareholder.

But Li Ye asked Tian Hongshan to set up Jingxin Trading Company to sell sewing machines on behalf of Changbei Machinery Company. The price of the goods was not low. It can be said that a large part of the profit was given to Changbei Machinery Company.

Although nearly half of that profit flowed back into his and Li Dayong's pockets, Changbei Machinery Factory did get some real money.

Moreover, if Director Wang's salesmen were allowed to develop the market with only a few dozen yuan a month as salary, they might even be operating at a loss!

But now Director Wang wants to channel the profits into Changnan Trading Company, and he doesn’t want to share them with Li Ye and Li Dayong at all!

If you don't follow the moral code of martial arts, don't blame me for taking up weapons!

Li Ye said to Li Dayong, "Okay, don't worry. I'll let Xiaohui call Guo Tianyong later. You just need to focus on the technical department. Leave the business operations to us first."

"Okay then!"

Hearing Li Ye remind him again to "just focus on technology", Li Dayong felt a little depressed, but he had no choice but to obey.

First, it was because he had absolute trust in Li Ye. Second, Pei Wenhui was more effective in speaking in the factory than Li Dayong, and Guo Tianyong still recognized Pei Wenhui as the eldest lady.

It’s just that Pei Wenhui usually respects Li Dayong’s opinions very much, so apart from feeling depressed occasionally, Li Dayong is actually quite comfortable.

Li Ye hung up the phone and called Pei Wenhui over.

"Xiaohui, tell Tang Mingtai to speed up the production plan for Changbei-2. The faster the better. Also, have Guo Tianyong do his best to hinder Director Wang. The later the better."

Pei Wenhui nodded and said, "I will first notify Guo Tianyong and Tang Mingtai and ask them to speed up the research progress and contact the foundry. I will live in the factory after I go back tomorrow and make sure that Changbei-2 is launched first."

But Li Ye immediately denied it: "No, our new products cannot be put on the market too early. We need to wait for the right time."

Pei Wenhui was stunned for a moment, and asked modestly: "Brother, when is the right time you mentioned?"

"Before they set the price, sign the order, and are about to put it on the market," Li Ye said with a bit of a sinister tone, "then you can discuss with Guo Tianyong and set a suitable price. This is suitable. You should understand, right?"

Pei Wenhui stared blankly, and after a moment she nodded silently.

Li Ye continued: "Then the Japanese will not be willing to give up, but if they want to develop more advanced products, they will need another production cycle. By then, they must research Changbei-3."

“You.”

Pei Wenhui almost said "You are so sinister". She really didn't understand how her boyfriend, who was still a student, could come up with such a sinister idea.

"Brother, is this the method you mentioned by the Fuso people? Are you using their own methods to retaliate against them?"

Pei Wenhui could only think in that direction. After all, Li Ye had mentioned some of Fuso's market tactics a few days ago, but he didn't go into such detail.

Li Ye smiled and said nothing, which was considered as a nod of agreement.

However, Pei Wenhui's next words made him feel somewhat ashamed.

"Brother, if we start a price war with Zhong Ai, what will our old customers think when they hear about the price cut just a few months after buying our products? Should we launch any remedial measures?"

“.”

[What do they think? Ask the users of a certain app, or ask the brothers who bought smartphones.]

Li Ye was also a victim of many market stranglehold wars in his previous life. He worked hard to buy a mobile phone for 2199 yuan, but it became 1799 yuan two months later. What do you think I should think?

A certain Dizi, who had completed the fourth step of becoming an industrial giant, was even more ruthless. He used a chilling backstab to kill countless old users.

Just as Mr. Lei was saying, “Don’t even think about it, 199,000 is impossible,” someone came up with the price of 79,800 right afterward, which completely confused Mr. Lei.

Even if there are differences in grade between these two new energy vehicles, the difference in price is even greater, isn’t it?

Who doesn’t want to get a bargain?

Di Zi's old customers felt their hearts bleeding. Maybe Lei Jun, who was beaten, was coughing up blood?

After going through so much trouble to manufacture the car, now he can't even find a dealer. What do you think he feels?

When two armies meet, the one that suffers the most will win. Come on! Let's see who has more blood.

It is conceivable that the final result should be satisfactory to the majority of consumers, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield and accidental injuries to innocent people are inevitable. Others who were killed in the accident should not cry out that it was unfair.

However, Li Ye thought about it and said to Xiao Hui: "What we should consider now is what Nakamura Naoto will think at that time.

As for customer retention, it still depends on whether our products bring them profits.

If customers buy our products in advance and we can make a profit one day earlier, then as long as our products are good enough, there won’t be any problems in the future.

But if they don’t make money, or if our product is not good, we should just stand there quietly and take the blame! ”

. . . . . . . . .

"Xiao Ruo, have you brought your passport and enrollment certificate?"

"Take care of your mother. You've grumbled three times."

"Then I'll repeat it for the fourth time. You can lose your luggage and money on the road, but you can't lose your ID and enrollment documents. Remember?"

"I remember, remember. How about you nag my brother a few more times to satisfy your craving? You'll be bored to death when I leave!"

"Will I suffocate? What's the phone for? You must call me once a week, remember?"

At Fu Guiru's home, Fu Yiru was checking her luggage and personal belongings under her mother's instructions, preparing to follow Li Ye to Beijing to go to school.

This time he will be gone for nearly half a year, so Fu Guiru will of course give more instructions.

This is also a mother's nature. No matter how strong a woman she is at work, at this time, she is just a whining old woman.

Fu Yiru looked at her mother, whose expression was stern but eyes were full of worry. Her nose felt sore and her eyes suddenly became moist.

She reached out and hugged her mother's waist, and whispered, "I'll remember, Mom. I'll call you every three days, but if you have time, you must come to Beijing to see me."

Fu Guiru also sniffed, but then laughed and scolded: "Why are you crying? You are such a big kid and still crying, aren't you afraid that your brother will laugh at you?"

"My brother doesn't laugh at me!"

Fu Yiru pouted and muttered something, then turned around and shouted outside: "Brother, are you going to laugh at me?"

Li Ye, who had been waiting outside for a long time, smiled and said jokingly, "How can a brother not laugh at his sister? How boring is that?"

"Well, if you do this again, I will get angry with you."

“Hahahaha~”

Fu Yiru pinched her waist and pretended to fight with Li Ye, which made Li Ye and Fu Guiru laugh.

But at this moment, someone was knocking on the door outside.

Li Ye happened to be standing by the door, so he leaned over and looked out through the peephole, then said in surprise: "That ambitious boy is back."

"who?"

"Who's coming?"

Fu Guiru and Fu Yiru didn't react at first and asked at the same time.

Li Ye said: "That's the guy who said he would come back as a winner!"

“.”

Fu Guiru and Fu Yiru were both speechless.

Why don't you just say it was Fu Zhiman? Is there any need to be so sharp and mean?
