Chapter 396

Li Ye stayed in Pengcheng for a few more days, chatted with Fu Fu Guiru about Pengcheng Red Bull, and found Hao Hao Jian to ask about the situation at Pengcheng Factory No. 7, before preparing to take Fu Fu Yiruo and Pei Pei Wenhui back to the capital.
Although there were still a few days before Jingda started, Li Ye felt he couldn't stay any longer these few days.
Because the time he spent on the phone with Wen Watching Wen Leyu was getting shorter and shorter.
At first, they could talk for five minutes at a time and still feel like they had endless things to say, but just now, after talking for less than a minute, Wen Watching Wen Leyu just said "hmm, hmm, hmm" a few times and hung up the phone.
What kind of omen is this?
Is the heat of love fading? But the two of them haven't even reached the state of an old married couple yet!
No, absolutely not, must go back to flirt with the girl.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone rang suddenly again. Li Ye didn't go to answer it immediately, but called Fu Fu Yiruo over.
This is Fu Fu Guiru's home; who knows who is calling, so Li Ye won't take the initiative to answer unless necessary.
"Hello, who are you looking for? Who are you... oh, oh."
After Fu Fu Yiruo answered the phone and asked two questions, she handed the phone to Li Ye: "It's someone named Li Li Dayong looking for you."
Li Ye took the phone and asked with a smile: "Hello, Li Dayong, are you sure you're looking for me? Not looking for Liu Xiaohui? Liu Xiaohui is in the living room! Do you want me to call her for you?"
"Brother, stop making fun of me, I'm really looking for you."
Li Li Dayong said on the other end of the phone: "Yesterday, many professors and researchers suddenly came to the factory, and then today Manager Tang told me that our Changbei-2 type still has room for improvement."
"Originally I was quite happy, but today Guo Guo Tianyong suddenly told me a piece of news, saying that Factory Manager Wang stopped the agency sales cooperation with Jingxin Trading Company and handed the products to a trading company called 'Changnan' for agency sales."
"So I hurriedly asked Tian Tian Hongshan and Brother Peng what was going on, but they didn't know either, so I called to find you..."
Li Ye was still smiling just now, but now the smile on his face disappeared completely.
He asked Li Li Dayong: "Then do you know what the wholesale price the factory gave to Changnan Trading Company is?"
Li Li Dayong said: "The specific price hasn't been set yet, but today Factory Manager Wang and Guo Guo Tianyong discussed this matter, and it seems they were talking about occupying the market, so they are doing some promotional discounts."
"They even said it was an advanced marketing method learned from our Fenghua brand. Guo Guo Tianyong didn't agree, and the two of them argued very unpleasantly..."
"He's already giving discounts to the trading company, so what market is he occupying?"
Li Ye sneered: "Don't worry about this matter; just let Guo Guo Tianyong handle it. They only see others making money but don't see others putting in the effort; they are all thinking about good things!"
Actually, Li Ye doesn't find Factory Manager Wang's routine fresh at all, because in a few years, many prominent figures have played this hand.
In the situation of a seller's market in the mainland, some enterprises have been losing money year after year. You ask why they are losing money?
Because the products in their factory are basically sold at low wholesale prices to a few trading companies, and you have to go to the wholesale company to buy goods.
You can also go directly to the factory to buy if you don't go to the wholesale company, but the production plan is scheduled later. If you are willing to wait until the year of the monkey, then wait slowly!
When the enterprise is losing money year after year, someone finally comes out to turn the tide, reforming and changing production, making a profit that year, and making a huge profit the next year, staging a wonderful drama of a "business genius saving an enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy."
If Factory Manager Wang still follows the price given to Tian Tian Hongshan this time and hands the products to some Changnan Trading Company for agency sales, then Li Ye has nothing to say.
A factory manager has this right, and the Hong Kong side is the second-largest shareholder.
But the price at which Li Ye had Tian Tian Hongshan establish Jingxin Trading Company to sell sewing machines for Changbei Machinery Company wasn't low; it could be said that a large part of the profit was left to Changbei Machinery Company.
Although that part of the profit flowed back into his and Li Li Dayong's pockets by nearly half, Changbei Machinery Factory did indeed receive the money.
And if Factory Manager Wang's salespeople were to open up the market with a monthly salary of dozens of yuan, they might be operating at a loss right now!
But now Factory Manager Wang wants to let the profit flow into Changnan Trading Company, and he doesn't want to share any of it with Li Ye and Li Li Dayong at all!
If you don't talk about martial arts, then don't blame me for picking up weapons!
Li Ye said to Li Li Dayong: "Alright, don't worry. I'll have Liu Xiaohui call Guo Guo Tianyong in a bit. You just keep an eye on the technical department; leave the business matters to us first."
"That... that's fine!"
Hearing Li Ye urge him again to "just manage the technology," Li Li Dayong felt a bit depressed, but could only obey.
One reason is that he absolutely trusts Li Ye, and the second is that Pei Pei Wenhui's words are more effective than his Li Li Dayong's in the factory now, and Guo Guo Tianyong still recognizes Pei Pei Wenhui as the eldest young lady.
It's just that Pei Pei Wenhui usually respects Li Li Dayong's opinions very much, so Li Li Dayong is actually quite comfortable, except for being depressed occasionally.
Li Ye hung up the phone and called Pei Pei Wenhui over.
"Liu Xiaohui, you first tell Tang Ren to speed up the improvement production plan of Changbei-2 with all his might; every day counts. Also, have Guo Guo Tianyong try his best to hinder Factory Manager Wang; every day counts."
Pei Pei Wenhui nodded and said: "I'll notify Guo Guo Tianyong and Tang Ren first, let them speed up the research progress, contact the foundry, and I'll live in the factory after going back tomorrow, making sure Changbei-2 hits the market first."
But Li Ye immediately denied it: "No, our new product cannot be put on the market too early; it needs to wait for a suitable opportunity."
Pei Pei Wenhui was stunned and asked humbly: "Brother, what is the suitable opportunity you're talking about?"
"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 dark heart: "At that time, you discuss with Guo Guo Tianyong and set a suitable price. This 'suitable'... you should understand, right?"
Pei Pei Wenhui stared with wide eyes, and only nodded silently after a while.
Li Ye then added: "And the Fusang people won't be reconciled, but if they want to deploy more advanced products, they will need another production cycle. By then, we must have Changbei-3 researched."
"You this..."
Pei Pei Wenhui almost said "you are too insidious." She really didn't understand, her boyfriend's brother is still a student! How could he come up with such a damaging idea?
"Brother, is this the Fusang people's method you're talking about? Are you using their own way to treat them?"
Pei Pei Wenhui could only think in that direction. After all, Li Ye had mentioned some market methods in Fusang a few days ago, but he hadn't said it so meticulously.
Li Ye smiled and didn't speak, which was considered a silent nod.
However, Pei Pei Wenhui's next sentence made him feel a bit ashamed.
"Brother, then we are fighting a price war with Zhongai. Old customers just bought the product a few months ago, and then they hear rumors of a price drop. What will they think? Should we introduce any remedial measures?"
What will they think? Go ask the users of a certain "Dizi" (BYD) what they think, go ask the brothers who bought smartphones what they think...
Li Ye was also a victim of multiple market strangulation wars in his previous life. He worked hard to buy a 2199 mobile phone, and two months later it was 1799. What do you think I should think?
A certain Dizi, which completed the fourth step of industrial giants, was even more ruthless, directly using a heart-chilling backstab to sacrifice countless old users.
Lei Zong was still saying "Don't think about it, 199,000 is impossible" in the front, and a certain Dizi came with 79,800 in the back, hitting Lei Zong so hard he was dizzy and couldn't find north.
Even if there is a difference in grade between these two types of new energy vehicles, the difference in price is even bigger, right?
Who doesn't want to save money?
Dizi's old customers are bleeding in their hearts, and the Lei Bus who was hit by the stick might already be coughing up blood?
After working hard to build the car, they can't even negotiate with dealers now. What do you think he thinks?
So the business world is like a battlefield; collateral damage is inevitable.
However, after thinking about it, Li Ye still said to Liu Xiaohui: "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 have brought them profit."
"If customers bought our products early and produced and made a profit a day earlier, then as long as our products are good enough in the future, it won't be a big problem."
"But if they didn't make money, or if our products aren't good... let's just stand still and obediently get scolded!"
"Xiao Ruo, are your passport and admission letter ready?"
"Ready, Mom, you've muttered it three times already..."
"Then I'll mutter it a fourth time. You can lose your luggage on the road, you can lose your money, but you cannot lose your identity proof and admission procedures. Do you remember?"
"I remember, I remember. Why don't you mutter it a few more times to my brother to satisfy your craving? You'll be bored to death when I leave!"
"I'll be bored to death? What is the phone for? You must give me a call every week, do you remember?"
In Fu Fu Guiru's home, Fu Fu Yiruo was checking her luggage and personal belongings under her mother's command, preparing to go to the capital with Li Ye for school.
This trip will last for half a year, so Fu Fu Guiru naturally has to give more instructions.
This is also a mother's nature. No matter how much of a "strong woman" she is at work, she is just a nagging old woman at this time.
Fu Fu Yiruo looked at her mother, whose expression was cold but whose eyes were full of worry, and her nose felt sore, and her eyes immediately moistened.
She reached out and hugged her mother's waist, whispering: "I remember, Mom. I'll call you every three days, but if you have time, you must come to the capital to see me..."
Fu Fu Guiru also sniffed, but then scolded with a smile: "Why are you crying? You're such a big kid and still crying, aren't you afraid your brother will laugh at you?"
"My brother won't laugh at me!"
Fu Fu Yiruo pouted and muttered, then turned and shouted outside: "Is that right, Brother? Will you laugh at me?"
Li Ye, who had been waiting outside for a long time, smiled and teased: "How can a brother not laugh at his sister? That would be too boring, right?"
"Fine, if you do that again, I'll get angry with you."
"Hahahaha."
Fu Fu Yiruo put her hands on her hips and made a gesture as if to fight with Li Ye, making both Li Ye and Fu Fu Guiru laugh.
But just at this moment, someone knocked 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 kid is back."
"Who?"
"Who's here?"
Fu Fu Guiru and Fu Fu Yiruo didn't react at first and asked in unison.
Li Ye said: "It's that kid who said he would come back as a winner!"
Fu Fu Guiru and Fu Fu Yiruo were both a bit speechless.
Couldn't you just say it's Fu Fu Zhiman? Did you have to be so sharp and mean?
