Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Erhai's side and Zhang Yueran's relationship is advancing steadily.
As for Wang Dashan's side, his wife Du Xiaojuan's belly has already grown visibly larger to the naked eye.
However, she did not give up work because of this; she is still busy every day inside Xiao Du Technology.
Now she has already regained decision-making authority over Xiao Du Technology, and is the undisputed, final-say number one in charge of Xiao Du Technology.
Even Fang Dayong, sent down by Zhonghai Group, treats her with great respect.
Most importantly, ever since Du Xiaojuan regained control of Xiao Du Technology, Xiao Du Technology's turnover has grown rapidly at a terrifying exponential rate.
Judging by the current situation, Xiao Du Technology should be able to go public smoothly by next spring.
When that time comes, everyone will be able to earn a big sum of money.
Fang Dayong is different from Chen Qiang; previously Chen Qiang and Du Xiaojuan struggled to seize power.
Whereas Fang Dayong and Du Xiaojuan's struggle has always been to seize profit.
Fang Dayong has to report to Zhonghai Group; if Xiao Du Technology's business performance is done beautifully, then he can obtain high recognition from the Zhonghai Group side, and a salary increase, added equity, even entering Zhonghai Group's decision-making layer are all within reach.
But if Xiao Du Technology's business performance is done poorly, unable to go public according to the original plan, then he will have to take the blame.
So the current Fang Dayong and Du Xiaojuan are no longer in an oppositional relationship, but a cooperative relationship.
If Du Xiaojuan can handle things well, then his delegating authority doesn't matter.
Still that same sentence: the most important thing is to be able to go public.
Going public is a company's greatest goal.
Because only after going public, playing financial operations, will money flow in like running water, hualala.
This day Du Xiaojuan was in the office processing work.
A partner came to the door.
Du Xiaojuan looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the person who came was none other than Chen Qiang.
"Chen Qiang? How did you come here?"
Du Xiaojuan was stunned, then hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
Chen Qiang saw Du Xiaojuan's big belly, and his expression also trembled.
"Congratulations, didn't expect you're already pregnant."
Du Xiaojuan asked with a smile:
"What about you, did you find your teammate?"
Chen Qiang shook his head:
"I've been busy with work, no time to go look."
Then hurriedly said:
"Today I'm representing Wulian Commodity Company coming over."
Only then did Du Xiaojuan realize:
"So the Wulian Supply Chain Company that recently came looking to cooperate with us was started by you?"
Chen Qiang then said:
"Can't say it was started by me exactly; I just have a connection, did it together with friends. Because the downstream market is comparatively hard to open, business has been a bit difficult recently, so I personally came to run business."
Chen Qiang spoke very candidly, and did not choose to conceal the embarrassment on his entrepreneurial path.
Because he knows, only by being candid with Du Xiaojuan can he obtain Du Xiaojuan's trust, and then secure Xiao Du Technology this downstream partner.
Du Xiaojuan's brows slightly furrowed, and she also spoke candidly:
"Our company's supply chain has already been reformed into multiple supply channels. Your Wulian channel, I've looked at it before. To speak honestly, don't get angry. The reason we didn't choose to cooperate is because your Wulian's control over product quality carries significant risk."
Chen Qiang frowned, puzzled:
"Quality control carries risk?"
He had not realized this problem.
Because in his view, Wulian Commodity's quality control process was still quite good.
Although it can't compare with those supply chain companies that have already grown strong and large, to say it carries significant risk is a bit much.
"That's right."
Du Xiaojuan truthfully said:
"Although you have a Quality Control Department, after similar goods are purchased, goods from different origins are all mixed together and provided to downstream partners. If a quality problem happens to occur, tracing responsibility is difficult, and at that time it will likely end up with all parties shifting blame, which is bad for everyone."
If it were someone else, Du Xiaojuan might not say these words.
Because she has no obligation to correct others' mistakes.
Her Xiao Du Technology, large or small, counts as a platform.
She is only responsible for selection, not responsible for correction.
It was also for the sake of her and Chen Qiang being old friends, and Chen Qiang personally coming to the door, that she told him these things.
"But our Quality Control Department all strictly executes according to standards."
Chen Qiang said this; in his heart he very clearly felt it was impossible for quality problems to appear.
Du Xiaojuan then said:
"It's not the ten thousand you fear, it's the one in ten thousand; no one can guarantee zero problems one hundred percent. Other supply chain companies have flaws of one sort or another too, but their accountability mechanisms are well done — wherever a problem crops up, they can pinpoint the responsible person at the first moment: compensate when compensation is due, improve when improvement is due, and they won't engage in mutual buck-passing just because responsibility is unclear."
Chen Qiang nodded and said:
"I understand, thank you for the reminder. I'll go back and discuss with the several shareholders, improve the quality control process, and then come back to talk cooperation with you all."
Du Xiaojuan nodded:
"Fine!"
Chen Qiang came out of Xiao Du Technology and lit a cigarette for himself.
He felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.
Back when he left Xiao Du Technology, he thought that as long as he left, the next one Zhonghai Group would deal with would be Du Xiaojuan, and Du Xiaojuan certainly wouldn't stay at Xiao Du Technology for long either.
He never expected that Du Xiaojuan not only managed to continue staying at Xiao Du Technology, but word has it she even regained the decision-making authority and decision-making power at Xiao Du Technology, and even that original IPO betting agreement has already been invalidated and a new one re-signed, an agreement more favorable to Du Xiaojuan.
When it comes down to it, he still underestimated Du Xiaojuan's ability.
Who could have imagined that a woman who doesn't even have a university diploma could actually play like a fish in water on the commercial battlefield?
He ultimately miscalculated. He took a gravely wrong step.
Now Xiao Du Technology's development momentum is so rapid; if he hadn't impulsively chosen to exit back then, then by the time Xiao Du Technology goes public, he would definitely have profited handsomely.
The most fatal thing is that the supply chain company he partnered with others to start has also lost quite a bit of money, and as of now there's still no sign of turning loss into profit.
I'm afraid it'll have to keep losing money for at least several more months, or even longer.
Although he, Chen Qiang, has certain family assets, they can't withstand this kind of loss either.
One can only say that back when he was at Xiao Du Technology, in his capacity as a partner, he got along swimmingly, and he mistakenly took the platform for his own ability.
He thought that after he went out, without Du Xiaojuan, he'd still be able to build up the business just the same.
As a result, after he went out, he discovered things weren't as simple as he'd imagined.
The most fatal thing is, now he personally came to find Du Xiaojuan, yet he still couldn't secure Du Xiaojuan's contract; Du Xiaojuan only gave him an improvement suggestion.
So the question arises: should Cheap Goods follow the suggestion Du Xiaojuan provided and improve quality control?
