Good Dad System [Arc 2] Chapter 22.1: Wealth Is Only Three Generations (13)

“Report on the recent fluctuations in raw material prices in the international market…” This is the person in charge of the group’s materials work. He is facing the whiteboard, holding documents, and talks endlessly about the group’s smartphone industry and several related industries are highly dependent on raw materials, and price increases will inevitably affect costs. This involves two issues: first, whether the price of the product needs to be adjusted; second, whether it is necessary to develop new raw material suppliers.

 

After he finished his report, everyone in the conference room was already having a heated discussion. The assistant next to him, with his hands seeming to be flying, left one after another celestial symbols that outsiders could not understand on the notebook. .

 

“We can’t raise prices. No one can tell whether this price fluctuation is temporary or long-term. Moreover, currently, several other mobile phone companies have not adjusted their prices. If we adjust ourselves, it will easily affect the minds of the people.” The domestic market in the past two years have engaged in price competition with imported mobile phones and have lowered their profits just to gain market share.

 

“If we don’t increase the price, then our profits will be depressed.” The speaker frowned and rapped his knuckles on the table, “If the profit margin is reduced, does this product make sense for us?”

 

“Also, what you said about finding other raw material suppliers? Are you planning not to import them from country M, but to import them from other countries?”

 

“…Yes, according to our investigation, related industries in country X, which is next door to country M, have also been developing in recent years. They…” the reporter explained.

 

“Haha.” sneers came one after another, “Can you guarantee the quality? What about the shipment volume? What about the quality control? Also, you also have to communicate with consumers. We have been importing this material from country M before. You want to suddenly change now. If anything goes wrong, can you take full responsibility? ”

 

The reporter was covered in cold sweat after being asked. He licked his lips and wanted to explain. He raised his hand and put it down again.

 

“Mr. Pei, what do you think? I think this is very wrong. It is absolutely impossible to reduce the price, and it is even more difficult to change the material supplier.” After a heated discussion, they habitually turned the topic to Pei Naochun.

 

Pei Naochun struggled to stay awake. He was confused about the data at the front, but he understood the arguments at the back. His pen was on the table little by little: “Has the specific analysis been done? Will the price increase be maintained? Price, what is our profit margin, will our sales increase or decrease this year? Change suppliers, have the samples arrived? Have the production line employees done the testing?” He pretended to be angry and slammed the table, “Don’t just come together to fool me!”

 

He was a bit unreasonable and making things difficult for others. After all, the price increase happened in a hurry. If he could really be fully prepared, he would be a god.

 

The reporter bowed his head and stood respectfully: “I’ll prepare immediately when I go back.”

 

“Okay, don’t fool me with this kind of thing next time. You can make a chart first to see if there is still profit at the current price? As long as there is still profit, it is still very promising. How is the development of new products?” Pei Naochun sat casually and asked questions.

 

The person in charge of the smartphone spoke: “The research and development is almost over, but some technologies are still…”

 

“Wait a while and give me a report. I don’t understand.” Pei Naochun responded immediately. He was not a fool. He always felt that something was not right. In his previous life, his daughter later managed a large company. As for the increase in raw materials like this, can’t you afford the price? Shouldn’t the subordinate do the relevant data analysis and make the final judgment based on his own experience? If he really had to let Pei Zhengxiong think about this slowly and mention each point one by one, I guess the Pei Group would have gone bankrupt long ago, right?

 

His eyes drifted to Assistant Fang sitting in the corner. The other person’s expression was as usual, asking him to stick to his own judgment. Anyway, his personality was that he didn’t know anything. Anyone who didn’t explain the matter to him would be listened to. I don’t understand. He is just here to be evil to his boss today, forcing his subordinates to work overtime, and not giving verbal reports to anyone. He follows the right-of-hand approach when things are urgent. Anyway, in his last life, President Pei did not go bankrupt during this period of time.

 

He lost his temper a little, but the rest of the meeting was quite peaceful. Everyone seemed to have turned from aunts arguing in the street to etiquette ladies. They gave in to each other and never attacked. Pei Naochun was only responsible for nodding his head every once in a while and listening. When you don’t understand, just touch your chin and pretend to be knowledgeable – of course, you also have to control yourself from yawning and feeling sleepy.

 

“Mr. Pei.”

 

“Huh?” The meeting was about to end when someone suddenly called him. Pei Naochun looked over and saw that he was a middle-aged man. He didn’t recognize him. Maybe he judged people by their appearance. He always felt that this man’s face looked a bit treacherous.

 

“It’s like this. We made an appointment with Mr. Li from Guihe before to discuss cooperation. I am arranging the specific docking work. President Pei had previously arranged to visit the company in the morning, have a meal at noon, and have a meeting in the afternoon. I don’t know…” The other party pondered for a moment, then continued, “Do you know anything about Guihe?”

 

Pei Naochun frowned, always feeling that things were not simple. The original body was not very clear about this period in his memory. After all, for him, this period of working in the company was almost a formality, so he didn’t take it seriously. He can just rely on his own guess and give a rough answer: “I don’t know much about it. Who are you?”

 

The other party was stunned by his words, but there was still a smile on his face: “I haven’t introduced myself to Mr. Pei yet. My surname is Zhu. I am in charge of external business in the group. I am now the vice president. That’s it. Pei You don’t know much about Guihe, and you don’t know much about cooperation. Do you need me to change the time? Or do you arrange for someone else to meet?”
