Chapter 1789 Jinglan Refining Workshop
Liang Xiaofei rushed to the shopkeeper's office room with a look of rushing, as if he had stepped on the hot wheels on his feet.
"Shopkeeper Su, something happened!"
After knocking in the door and entering, Liang Xiaofei shouted anxiously.
Liang Xiaofei is the business deacon of Jinglan Artifact Refining Floor. He is usually responsible for going out to discuss business with customers and selling the products of the Artifact Refining Floor.
Jinglan Refining Floor has basically only one product, which is the array material "crystal disc" required for the arrangement of various magic arrays. Some families and organizations in the spiritual world need to arrange medium and large magic arrays such as the Spirit Gathering Array, the Dragon Stone Array, the Vajra Stone Array, etc., but there are basically no special materials and special array monks, so entrusting the Chamber of Commerce to arrange magic arrays has become the mainstream.
Most chambers of commerce do not produce the array materials themselves and need to purchase them. Jinglan refining workshop produces crystal disks, and the main customers are various chambers of commerce.
The shopkeeper of the weapon refining shop is named Su Jinke. He is quite a good person. He has been working here for ten years. Su Jinke has always treated him well and has repaid his favors. He is also concerned about the business of the weapon refining shop.
This time, the problem was discovered and urgently needed to be solved, so I quickly came to find Manager Su.
"Deacon Liang, what's going on, don't worry."
Su Jinqun seemed calm. He was a person who came out of the storm and waves. He could make Jinglan's weapon refining shop gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Jingpan business. He has experienced no less dangerous things, including personal safety.
But Liang Xiaofei was still very anxious: "Shopkeeper, Tiancang Chamber of Commerce suddenly sent someone to send a letter and no longer purchased crystal plates from our Jinglan Refining Floor. There was no specific reason or time limit. It is likely that it would directly cut off business dealings with us!"
"What?"
Su Jinke couldn't sit still and suddenly stood up straight, looking shocked.
"Daichi Liang, what you said is true, don't scare me!"
Seeing Su Jincai, he suddenly panicked. Liang Xiaofei thought to himself that if he had another boss, he would also panic at this moment.
"It's true." Liang Xiaofei's expression didn't seem to be joking at all.
Su Jinqian asked anxiously: "How could this happen? The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce has been working well with us. What did they say in the letter?"
Liang Xiaofei handed the letter he gave to him to Manager Su.
The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce is quite large, and Liang Xiaofei usually does not ask others to maintain their relationship with this Chamber of Commerce. Every time this Chamber of Commerce purchases crystal disks, he personally handles them to ensure that the best crystal disks are delivered to others as quickly as possible.
So, I sent this letter to him directly to inform him of the decision of the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce.
Su Jinqian quickly opened his letter and watched it.
After a moment, he showed an expression of anxiety and anger, and a letter was slapped on the table by him.
"I broke the contract like this, huh, I'm not willing to do business with us anymore!"
"But I can't figure it out. We didn't offend them, they insisted on slandering us!"
The two parties naturally signed a cooperation document, which had carefully stated the possible breach of contract between the two parties, but they could not stand the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce's picky bones.
The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce said that the price of crystal plates given by the Jinglan Refining Floor to the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce was too high. At present, the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce has found a more suitable supplier. According to the article "reasonable price" in the article, I feel that the price of the Jinglan Refining Floor is not reasonable. The new suppliers found by the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce can give a much lower sales price, so the price of the Jinglan Refining Floor is not reasonable. The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce now has the right to terminate the cooperation.
The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce clearly stated that it was to terminate, not to suspend, so although the specific time was not given, it was actually very clear that it would cut off the cooperation with Jinglan Refining Floor forever!
Su Jinqian was certainly angry about this.
"Shopkeepers, it is impossible for them to find new suppliers so quickly, and it is even less likely to get a price that is much lower than our offer. The only reason is that they deliberately want to put us in trouble."
"And, even if we come to the door to negotiate with the cooperation documents, it will be useless. They will not tell the identity of the new supplier, so we don't know whether they have received a much lower offer. We have no choice but to do anything about them."
Liang Xiaofei sighed.
Su Jinke naturally understood this truth. The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce was clearly cutting off business dealings with them, and without warning. Naturally, it made up its mind that it would not be trying to put pressure on them and force them to lower some prices.
After all, if the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce wanted to cooperate with them, its attitude would not be so indifferent and would not leave any room for anything.
So Su Jinke knew that even if he and Liang Xiaofei came to visit him in person, it would be useless and could not save this big customer.
After realizing this iron-like thing, Su Jinqian became even more angry and squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Tiancang Chamber of Commerce bullies too much!"
This matter is obvious. It is not that he or Liang Xiaofei’s mistake in doing things, which caused dissatisfaction among the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce. It is entirely that the other party acted alone and wanted to cut off business dealings with them.
"Daichi Liang, have you found out that other suppliers who cooperate with the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce have had similar incidents?"
This is something Su Jinqian wants to understand.
Although he must have lost the big customer of Tiancang Chamber of Commerce, he still wanted to figure out whether Tiancang Chamber of Commerce was dealing with them alone or other reasons.
"The shopkeeper is still in contact." Liang Xiaofei said that he had not found out yet.
He looked a little reluctant to speak.
"Tell me, you and I are all acquaintances. Even if Deacon Liang wants to leave, I will support me."
Liang Xiaofei waved his hands repeatedly, "Shopkeeper Su, you misunderstood. I don't want to leave Jinglan Weapon Refining Shop."
This needs to be made clear first.
First, Su Jincai's treatment was indeed good, and second, he had to continue to use his current identity to stay in the weapon refining workshop to facilitate lurking.
"Shopkeeper, I would like to remind you that the weapon refining workshop is not strong in resisting risks. We recruited a group of masters who are good at refining crystal plates not long ago and paid them a considerable wage. Only by maintaining the current refining efficiency is cost-effective. If production is reduced, the wages will not be less, which is very unfavorable to the weapon refining workshop."
Su Jinqian nodded: "I know this, and you are right."
Reducing output is usually a response to adverse situations in goods sales, but it happens to Jinglan Refining Floor, and this conventional method does not work.
Not long ago, he believed that the business scale of the weapon refining workshop could be further improved, so he invested most of his remaining money in it, recruited new personnel, and wanted to increase production and earn more profits. Now the money used for operation of the weapon refining workshop is actually not much.
If the output is reduced, the wages cannot be reduced, because those refiners who can refine crystal plates sign long-term contracts with the refining workshop and exchange them every year. In other words, even if the business of the refining workshop declined severely in the first month of the first year, the wages still have to be paid in the next eleven months.
Unless he closes the weapon refining workshop and announces failure.
But he certainly couldn't do this. He invested most of the remaining money in it. Turned off the weapon refining workshop, and the money was wasted.
With reduced production, the profits of the refining yard will inevitably decline, but the wages still have to be paid as much as possible. It will be a disaster for the already stretched refining yard.
But if you don't reduce production, you can pay the same wages to let the refiner do more.
The refined crystal discs will accumulate, so you have to find a way to solve the problem of cargo accumulation.
Liang Xiaofei was reminding him, the shopkeeper, to solve this problem, otherwise the weapon refining workshop would soon be difficult.
"In this way, let's wait first. On the one hand, understand the problem I mentioned before, and on the other hand, see if there are other changes." Su Jinke decided to wait for a long time first.
"Okay shopkeeper, I'll go find out the situation."
Liang Xiaofei said goodbye and left.
He asked his acquaintance to inquire about the situation of the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce, and the result was only an hour later. He came back to find Su Jincai immediately.
"Shopkeeper Su, I found out that there are about four other suppliers who have business dealings with Tiancang Chamber of Commerce. There are probably four other companies that have the same situation as us. From this point of view, it seems that Tiancang Chamber of Commerce is not specifically for us."
The other four companies were also suspended from business transactions by the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce.
It seemed that there was a problem with the operation of the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce, so suddenly such a fierce decision was made.
Su Jinqian was in a better mood, but he was still angry: "Even if this is the case, what the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce did is not authentic! Even if the Tiancang Chamber of Commerce wants to cooperate with us again, I will not agree!"
"Shopkeeper, there is another bad news," Liang Xiaofei smiled bitterly, "The Tiancang Chamber of Commerce has cut off its business dealings with us, and it has spread."
Su Jinke immediately thought of the consequences that this incident could cause and was upset: "Who did it?"
On their side, he and Liang Xiaofei, who are currently aware of the incident, should not have been done by their own people.
"I don't know, the news spreads very quickly. A customer had already sent a message to contact me and tested the situation." Liang Xiaofei knew that Su Jin had made a clear idea of the consequences.
Su Jinke: "If the news spreads, those scattered customers will only see that we have difficulties and take the opportunity to ask us to sell the crystal plate to them at a lower price. As well, some chambers of commerce with less solid cooperation foundation will probably do the same."
If the news cannot be concealed, we have to consider the consequences of the news after it spreads.
"Dashi Liang, you try to stabilize some of the customers. I will also contact those big customers and tell them that there is no problem with Jinglan's weapon refining workshop. If they don't believe it and insist on asking us to lower the price, you know what to do."
"Well, I will never lower the price." Liang Xiaofei said.
Su Jinqian nodded. They could not open the price cut. Once this hole was opened, it would be over. Customers would pursue profits and would only rush to ask them to cut prices.
"Shopkeeper, our measures to resolutely not reduce prices will also have other impacts." Liang Xiaofei reminded.
"I know."
If the price is not reduced, those cunning customers will choose to wait and see and waste it, and they will not be able to persevere and have to reduce the price.
Therefore, this measure is not an active method of self-rescue. To save yourself, you have to come up with another method.
The method is natural and simple.
"Dashi Liang, after you and I have stabilized some of the customers, we must immediately look for those large chambers of commerce and try to turn one or several large chambers of commerce into our customers."
"The large chamber of commerce has huge purchases, and the ratio of promise is greater than that of other customers. Even if we secretly cut prices and sell crystal plates to them, we will not lose too much. We don't have to worry about the news of the price reduction."
"So when discussing with large chambers of commerce later, Deacon Liang must remember the importance of confidentiality and only talk to their senior management, so as to reduce the possibility of leaks."
