Ye Beiping's words made Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming lower their heads silently.
They were well aware of these principles, but some decisions cannot be changed by one or two people, and even the factory director cannot make decisions unilaterally.
There are still people watching from above. Once reforms are implemented, unless you can persuade those above and appease the hundreds of employees below, everything will be in vain.
Seeing that the two still did not react, Ye Beiping sighed and stood up, saying to Jiang Hai, "Let's go. Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no need to stay."
"Okay." Jiang Hai and the others nodded and got up to leave.
In an instant, more than half of the people in the private room left.
Just as Ye Beiping was about to step out the door, Xu Yun stood up and said, "Wait."
A woman's voice startled everyone in the quiet private room.
Unexpectedly, someone called out to them.
Li Peiqiang frowned: "Xiao Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Yun ignored Li Peiqiang's words and looked at Ye Beiping, asking, "Ye Beiping, you've been lying to us all along, haven't you?"
hehe!
I thought the woman was going to say something, but instead she started to interrogate me.
Ye Beiping suddenly regretted saving her during their first meeting, and turned around with a wicked smile: "Xu Yun, Accountant Xu, so what if I said yes?"
Doing business is inherently about deception; how else can you make money?
They used the reputation of the bankrupt Jiangnan Leather Factory to deceive those with soft hearts in order to sell their leather shoes.
All those propaganda campaigns from my past life, which one didn't contain an element of deception?
The hamburger picture is huge, but the actual hamburger you receive may only be the size of your palm, yet it costs as much as twenty yuan.
Those cosmetics ads are pretty good, but are the people who use them really that good? They might look good in the moment, but in the long run, will the skin of people who use cosmetics really be better?
Some foods have been around for decades before their ingredients were finally exposed as having problems. What about the consumers who had been in the food industry for the past twenty years?
And so on. Which successful business owner hasn't used deceptive tactics? It's just that consumers are willing to accept it and no one holds them accountable.
Upon hearing Ye Beiping's reply, Xu Yun frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face. However, he took two deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "Since it's a lie, why did you admit it yourself?"
Ye Beiping found these words amusing.
Xu Yun continued, "I think you've admitted today that you've encountered some difficulties, haven't you? It's not just a warehouse problem; has a competitor emerged?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hai and the others' expressions changed slightly.
Only Ye Beiping remained calm and composed, though his mind was racing with thoughts.
He acted calmly so as not to let the other party see that he was nervous.
Seeing Jiang Hai and the others' expressions, Xu Yun smiled slightly: "It seems I guessed right. There are probably people in Hangzhou who have seen the business opportunity and are competing with you."
As she spoke, she turned to Li Peiqiang and explained, "Director Li, when we went to the chain store today, we overheard some people discussing the street vending of leather shoes. They said that a pair of shoes used to sell for 25 yuan, but the newly opened chain store is selling them for just over ten yuan a pair, and they even have a lucky draw. Yesterday, on the first day of opening, someone won a bicycle. With such a huge investment and no competitors, Ye Beiping has absolutely no need to lower his prices."
"Is that so?" Li Peiqiang frowned and looked at Ye Beiping.
Clap clap clap!
Ye Beiping then spoke, clapping his hands: "Accountant Xu really did a thorough investigation. You guessed right, but so what?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Yun ignored Ye Beiping and continued speaking to Li Peiqiang:
"Director Li, Director Wei, I think this cooperation should not end. Both Jiangnan Leather Factory and the First Leather Shoe Factory should support Ye Beiping."
"What?" Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming were stunned and exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Jiang Hai and Jiang He were also taken aback for a moment, and then began to talk in hushed tones.
What does this woman mean?
"I don't know, but it seems like they're helping Beiping."
"Really? I didn't notice that."
"Because you're stupid!"
...
Ye Beiping, like everyone else, was stunned, not understanding why Xu Yun would speak up for him.
"Accountant Xu, you can't say things like that, even if you are... cough cough!" Li Peiqiang coughed twice, but didn't finish his sentence, as if it were a taboo.
Xu Yun smiled and readily gave his reasons.
“Director Li, Director Wei, you both say it’s for the good of the factory. Right now it’s just a simple warehouse issue, which isn’t a big problem at all. We can apply to our superiors to build a warehouse in Hangzhou to facilitate better cooperation with Ye Beiping and the others. I believe the two factory directors won’t be so stingy. It’s just a warehouse, it won’t cost much.”
"But let's put ourselves in their shoes. Putting aside what would happen to the two factories if we didn't cooperate with Ye Beiping and his team, how would you two directors explain yourselves back home? The cooperation was ruined after just one trip to Hangzhou. Furthermore, if Ye Beiping's competitors take over the Hangzhou market, what will happen to our products? Are we supposed to rely on those state-owned department stores?"
"The development of individual businesses is so rapid now. There are small vendors selling leather products on every street corner in Wenzhou. Many small factories can't survive without cooperating with them. Our Jiangnan Leather Factory may not be the largest factory, but we still have to rely on ourselves. Unlike those big factories that receive official orders, we couldn't compete with them no matter how hard we tried before. Now, the only way out is to cooperate with individual businesses."
