Chapter 819 Do You Understand?
In mid-May, Wen Leyu's due date was approaching, and Li Ye began to deal with the matters at hand and straighten out various production processes to avoid being overwhelmed by both ends.
An excellent manager does not keep himself busy like a donkey, but when he is absent from the unit for a short period of time, the unit can produce smoothly, but if he is absent from the unit for a long time, he cannot survive without him.
On this day, Li Ye was discussing with Lu Zhizhang about expanding production again. Pan Dachuan, who was in charge of supply, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Director, there is something wrong with the main factory again. They say that they will not be able to supply us with 2,000 frames next month, and each frame will be increased by 350 yuan. The price will be adjusted starting tomorrow."
Li Ye asked strangely: "The price increase is 350 yuan? Will it start tomorrow? What is the reason for the price increase?"
The frame is also called the girder, and when paired with axles, tires and other accessories, it becomes the car chassis. The light truck company has been providing 130 frames and car chassis to more than 50 car modification factories across the country.
Therefore, the frame can be regarded as the "competent product" of the light automobile company. The first branch factory is close to the water, so naturally the frame is allocated directly from the main factory, and the accounts are settled together at the end of the month. Anyway, the first branch factory has to turn over profits every month, so it can be offset.
But the price suddenly increased by 350 yuan. Such a huge increase cannot be justified without a reasonable explanation.
Pan Dachuan said angrily: "They said the price of materials has increased, but I have asked someone to inquire. Several car modification factories purchase frames from our factory, and they have not increased a penny, at least not tomorrow."
This is causing trouble.
Li Ye reached out to touch the phone and asked who was trying to be a monster again, but Lu Zhizhang beat him to it.
"Xiao Pan, go and do your work first!"
Lu Zhizhang made an internal call and signaled Pan Dachuan to go out. After Pan Dachuan left, Lu Zhizhang put down the phone again.
Li Ye was a little confused, looked at Lu Zhizhang and said, "What's wrong, Lao Lu, don't you need to ask clearly about this?"
Lu Zhizhang smiled and said: "I know what's going on without asking, it's just because we are jealous!
Do you believe that if I call them now and tell them about the frame, they will definitely mention our engine and gearbox? "
"."
Although Li Ye told Lu Zhizhang about Wu Qingyi going to Changbei to buy a gearbox, in any case, Lu Zhizhang had the keen intuition of a manager.
The main factory had just launched a move, but he had seen through it all.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Then how do you think we should solve it?"
Lu Zhizhang smiled and said: "It's a crapshoot. What they think is too beautiful. The frame is not like the engine and gearbox we use. Scorpion is the only one. Who can handle it?"
Anyway, other brother units have not raised prices. We must either make temporary changes or look for other suppliers. Anyway, we cannot just follow their wishes. "
"."
"No wonder we have to eat it inside and out~"
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
If Lu Zhizhang ran over to have a quarrel with the main factory at this moment, there is a high probability that in the end he would still have to satisfy part of the other party's wishes, so he might as well pretend to be confused!
[The main factory has insufficient supply, so we purchase it from outside, so there’s nothing wrong with it! 】
The first branch factory can allocate frames from the main factory, or purchase frames from other modified cars. Although there may be an intermediary fee of dozens of yuan, it is better than being led by others.
It is even said that some small factories that are capable of producing 130 frames cannot find big customers like the first branch factory!
However, Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye didn't accept the move, but they couldn't calm down.
A week later, the main factory held a production management meeting and called Lu Zhizhang, Li Ye and Lai Jiayi.
When the two arrived at the conference room, they found that there were so many people attending the meeting today that the conference table could not be seated on both sides. There were dozens of chairs lined up against the wall, and they were full of people.
Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang looked at each other and smiled, both of them mentally prepared.
Because the seating arrangement of the two people is very particular, 99% of the eyes will be gathered at any time, which can be called the "pressure position" of the whole audience.
The section chief and deputy section chief of the main factory are here, but the first branch factory notified the three of them to come over. If any topic related to the first branch factory arises later, the two of them can explain it.
Well, both Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang felt that Lai Jiayi would not share the pressure between them.
After everyone arrived, the boss began to speak, and he was very serious when he spoke.
"Comrades, the first half of the year is almost over. The situation in our factory is not optimistic. The prices of production materials continue to rise, but product sales continue to decline."
"Our factory now has nearly 10,000 employees, and there are nearly 10,000 families eating at the company. Everyone here is the management cadre of the company, and they must work hard for the future and efficiency of the company."
"."
The director of the large factory spoke for five minutes, fully explaining the serious problems faced by the light vehicle company from the perspective of an owner.
But Li Ye felt that he was exaggerating a bit.
After all, the light automobile company has just received external capital injection, and it has the support of the new product 136. Even if the situation is worse, there will still be trouble.
Those factories that have no production innovation capabilities and are not loved by grandma and uncle are at a critical moment of life and death. In three to five years, they will be the first batch of pilot units for the mass layoffs.
However, after the big factory director finished talking about the serious topic, he suddenly changed the topic and praised the first branch factory.
"Of course, under this severe situation this year, our factory is not without its bright spots. The first branch factory is doing quite well."
"Less than three months after the first branch plant was put into production, more than 2,500 vehicles have been shipped. If we continue to develop at this rate, it is not impossible to exceed 10,000 vehicles this year,"
"Then everyone present should think about why the No. 1 Branch Factory achieved such results? Do you need to learn from the No. 1 Branch Factory?"
"."
Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were both a little stunned, because at first they thought it was to praise them, but then looking at the looks in the eyes of a group of people, it was clearly a mockery of skills to attract hatred!
What, can it be just the two of you?
Sure enough, as soon as the big factory director finished speaking, there was an unconvinced voice.
Section Chief Park of the sales department of the main factory said in a deep voice: "I have a slightly different view on the issue of the first branch factory. Although their results have been gratifying in the past few months, they are all at the expense of the interests of our main factory."
"The sales volume of our main factory has continued to decline in the past three months, but the sales volume of the first branch factory has been rising. I would like to ask Deputy Director Li something."
Section Chief Park turned to look at Li Ye and asked unceremoniously: "The 130J3 car you produce clearly uses advanced engines and gearboxes with imported technology, but why are they sold so cheaply?"
"Now many of our old customers have specified that they don't want our 130J2 cars and want the 130J3 from your branch factory. Isn't this brothers fighting each other?"
"."
Li Ye felt the attention of dozens of eyes, but he was not nervous. Instead, he said strangely: "Our J3 model is 2,100 yuan more expensive than the J2 model! The total price of the car is more than 10,000 yuan, and it is 2,000 yuan more expensive." One hundred yuan, how can you say it’s cheap?”
"That diesel engine of yours is more than 2,000 yuan more expensive," Section Chief Park said very dissatisfied: "I have calculated that since your first branch factory started producing J3 cars, our sales have dropped by 2,000 yuan. vehicles, which is exactly the output of your branch factory in the past few months.
Your branch factory is stealing the output of the main factory. Your J3 car must be included in the sales plan of the entire factory. You must not let yourselves mess around anymore. The jobs of the 7,000 workers in the factory cannot be lost on you. "in hand"
Seeing the anger on Section Chief Park's face, Li Ye immediately wanted to refute, but Lu Zhizhang was faster than him.
"Bang~"
Lu Zhizhang slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Stop talking nonsense here. You haven't done your job well. Instead of thinking about where you went wrong, you just want to take the credit of others into your arms?"
"Who hugged me? Even if the meat is rotten, it is also in the pot. It belongs to everyone, what is yours and mine? What do you mean by this, Lu Zhizhang? Is your first branch going to split up?"
"Should we separate the family? You are a big hater. We pay a lot of profit every month. Unlike some people who have no ability and only want to play tricks on us."
"."
This was the first time that Li Ye saw Lu Zhizhang arguing with someone with a red face and thick neck. They were completely different from when he was the director of the factory office.
"Ahem~, don't make any noise."
The big factory director coughed lightly, and then asked Li Ye: "Li Ye, please explain how your J3 car is priced and what is the basis for pricing?"
What is the basis for pricing?
Li Yimei was a little funny.
[Even if I am telling you about marketing, do you understand? 】
But Li Ye still cleared his throat and said softly to everyone: "If I were to explain, it would have to be from the perspective of economics."
