Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Husband, tomorrow you need to help me do a very important thing."

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Du Xiaojuan suddenly said this to Wang Dashan.

"What thing?"

Wang Dashan asked.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"You go notify Xiao Du Technology tomorrow, tell them, Wanjia Commodities wants all supplied products to raise prices by 50%."

Wang Dashan was stunned:

"This price increase is too large, right? Will they agree?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled faintly:

"They cannot possibly not agree. Wanjia Commodities' supply accounts for eighty percent. If they don't agree, that's equivalent to directly cutting off their supply source. And if they agree, the money Xiao Du Technology earns will ultimately all flow to Wanjia Commodities. No matter what, Xiao Du Technology will be grasped by this single supply channel of Wanjia Commodities. At that time, Fang Dayong will definitely lower his posture and take the initiative to beg me to return, because he knows only I can make Wanjia Commodities lower the supply price."

For this move, Du Xiaojuan had laid out the layout for a long time already.

Now success or failure depends on Wang Dashan's operation tomorrow.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Following Du Xiaojuan's instructions, Wang Dashan sent a notice to Xiao Du Technology, notifying Xiao Du Technology's executives that starting tomorrow, all products supplied to them would raise prices by 50%!

"Nonsense, utter nonsense! Is there still business morality? Is this not illegal!"

When Fang Dayong received this notice sent by Wanjia Commodities, he was very angry.

As one of the most relied-upon executive leaders of Zhonghai Group, he had personally manipulated the infiltration of many companies over the years, never expecting that today he would actually suffer a setback at Xiao Du Technology!

"General Manager Fang, although this doesn't quite conform to business morality, you still can't say it's illegal." Ceng Shun, responsible for Xiao Du Technology's market operations, forced a bitter smile at this moment. He also said: "I just had the legal department review the supply contract our company signed with Wanjia Commodities. The contract explicitly states that Wanjia Commodities can unconditionally stop supply."

"Who signed such a contract?" Fang Dayong was angered to death.

He knew the Wanjia Commodities supply chain occupied the majority of Xiao Du Technology's supply source.

If Wanjia Commodities raised prices by 50% now, wouldn't that be making the entire Xiao Du Technology work for Wanjia Commodities?

And it was very likely they'd be paying out of pocket to work for Wanjia Commodities!

"General Manager Fang, this contract was personally presided over and signed by President Du when she was still here. At that time, President Du's decision-making authority in the company was quite heavy. She overruled all objections to sign this contract with Wanjia Commodities. Although everyone had opinions in their hearts, they couldn't say anything."

At this moment, another executive of Xiao Du Technology spoke the truth.

Hearing this, Fang Dayong immediately froze, instantly sniffing out a trace of a clue.

So he hurriedly said:

"Who is the real decision-maker of this Wanjia Commodities Supply Limited Company?"

Ceng Shun said:

"I checked. This company's equity structure consists of three people: Hu Wanjia holds 49%, Du Xiaojuan holds 26%, Wang Dashan holds 25%. Du Xiaojuan and Wang Dashan are a married couple."

Hearing this, Fang Dayong suddenly realized:

"I finally understand why Du Xiaojuan would suddenly resign on her own initiative over half a month ago without any warning. This woman's scheming is very deep. A move of retreating to advance, and now the entire lifeline of Xiao Du Technology will be grasped in her hands!"

The crowd of executives looked at each other in dismay. Some suddenly realized, some were surprised and astonished, some still didn't quite understand.

Xiao Du Technology is such a big company, how could it be grasped by a small supplier like Wanjia Commodities?

You must know, nowadays internet e-commerce supply chains are already very mature. Nationwide, who knows how many companies do e-commerce supply chains.

Without Wanjia Commodities' supply, they could just turn around and find other supply companies.

How could they be pinched at the lifeline by Wanjia Commodities?

Fang Dayong knew some people didn't understand, so he explained:

"Switching supply chains, easy to say, but doing it isn't as easy as imagined. Right now, all categories of Xiao Du Technology combined, the daily order volume is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of orders. In a short time, we fundamentally cannot switch supply companies. If we can't ship on time, the fines from the e-commerce platform side alone are enough for us to drink a pot! Not to mention the loss of customer credibility! Operating a store takes a very long time, but destroying a store only takes an instant! Customers on the internet have even less stickiness than physical stores. A single bad review can affect business conditions, let alone switching supply chains, quality fluctuations, and the various bad reviews brought about!"

Fang Dayong spoke to here, couldn't help but sigh:

"It was my miscalculation. When Du Xiaojuan took the initiative to resign, I should have thought she wouldn't let go easily. I should have gone to carefully investigate what medicine she was selling in her gourd! Now she suddenly has Wanjia Commodities give us a blow to the head, we probably can only accept this reality."

Ceng Shun was stunned:

"General Manager Fang, your meaning is, we agree to Wanjia Commodities' price increase plan?"

Fang Dayong smiled bitterly:

"Do we have any other choice?"

The crowd of executives all fell silent.

They indeed had no other choice.

Fang Dayong now revealed a serious expression, immediately adjusting the company's operating strategy:

"First, agree to Wanjia Commodities' price increase plan first, stabilize Wanjia Commodities' supply source; second, start looking for other supply chain cooperation. This time find several more supply companies. Single supply source is a major taboo in e-commerce. Before, I was noncommittal about this saying. Now I know, this is a golden truth derived from a bloody lesson! Third, temporarily stop all paid channel promotional activities, take the initiative to lower the company's daily order volume."

Fang Dayong truly lives up to being an experienced, capable senior manager.

These three strategies he formulated can be said to precisely address the predicament currently encountered, every single one.

The Wanjia Commodities channel is temporarily impossible to cut off, but we must hurry to find other supply chain cooperation.

Additionally, after Wanjia Commodities raises prices, the more Xiao Du Technology sells, the more it loses. So we can only stop promotion, lower transaction volume, to reduce the company's losses.

He operates like this, it can be called stopping losses in time, minimizing the company's losses, and in the near future, still able to shake off Wanjia Commodities' control.

However, what he didn't expect was.

Only a day passed, and Ceng Shun came to report the situation to him:

"General Manager Fang, I found several capable supply companies, but discovered none of them can handle the supply business for our Company's bestsellers, because these bestsellers have all had their supply channels monopolized by Wanjia Commodities, and some have even applied for patents; if we restock from other channels, that would be selling counterfeit and shoddy products!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Dayong was immediately dumbfounded.

He had completely not expected that Du Xiaojuan, on this chess piece of Wanjia Commodities, had actually put in this much free time.

In the current situation, he had only one choice that could salvage the situation.

"Quickly go put Du Xiaojuan invited over, I want to personally talk with her!"
