Lao Zhu carefully tore open the film outside the cigarette packaging box, but did not take out the cigarette, but just took the whole pack of cigarette under his nose and sniffed it. He said intoxicatedly, Xiao Wang, good cigarettes are good cigarettes, and they taste good.

Wang Yiyuan said casually, this was given to me by someone a few days ago. I don’t smoke, and I don’t know whether it’s good or bad, so I will give it to you.

Lao Zhu then said, "Yan is a good smoke, Xiao Wang, you are also a good guy, it's just a pity."

Wang Yiyuan was puzzled and said, Lao Zhu, what did you say? What a pity? Isn’t it just a pack of cigarettes? It’s worth your big impression?

Haha, my pity means you are a pity. Lao Zhu said, Xiao Wang, you know, I am just a bad old man who looks at the warehouse. He is indifferent to the company and can't help it. That's why I said, it's a pity to give you this good cigarette to me.

Haha, Lao Zhu, just a pack of cigarettes. No matter how hard I do, I can still afford it. Wang Yiyuan said with a smile. Lao Zhu, don’t think I’ll give you cigarettes, you just think I have something to ask you for it. There is nothing to do, it’s okay to come and see you.

Hu Jianguo sat aside and didn't say anything. Old Zhu pointed at him and asked Wang Yiyuan, why, today I'll send such a little bit of trademark sticker labels, and you've brought people here?

Hu Jianguo smiled at Lao Zhu and said, "Old Zhu is good. No, I am also a salesperson. Today I come to Fengxian with Xiao Wang Shunlu, and I have to go to another company to deliver goods."

Oh, you are from Shanghai. Lao Zhu said again, you can tell from your accent that it is more authentic and has a different pronunciation than in our countryside.

Hu Jianguo nodded without a trace. Wang Yiyuan asked Lao Zhu, how is the company's home textile products business recently?

Well, what do you mean? Lao Zhu took two tea cups from the cabinet next to him, rustled with boiling water, put the tea leaves in, poured boiling water and soaked it. Wang Yiyuan hurried over and brought the tea cup over, and gave it to Hu Jianguo another cup.

Lao Zhu packed up the remaining tea and said that the company's business in the first half of this year is still quite good, and it will be worse than that in August. I have all the auxiliary supplies here, such as this packaging box, which adds up to the best time, and now it is at least one-third less per month.

It took so many months to reduce? Wang Yiyuan felt very strange.

Lao Zhu put on reading glasses, took out the shipping record book from the drawer, and then said in a simplified manner, yes, look, the shipment volume of the packaging box of this pillow alone has dropped by more than half compared to May before.

Oh? So serious? Wang Yiyuan continued to ask, it was reduced by 50% in less than half a year. This is what we call a cliff-like collapse, so how could this happen?

Lao Zhu said that people in the company said that it was mainly caused by poor exports. In the past, a large number of our company's products were exported, mainly in some developed countries in Europe and the United States. However, the export situation in these places is not optimistic now, especially since I heard that the orders for exporting to the United States are the worst. Several large orders have been cancelled one after another, so now they are getting worse day by day, and the number of exports has been greatly reduced.

Wang Yiyuan and the others didn't say anything anymore. He picked up the teacup and blew the foam on the tea.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Wang Yiyuan said, Lao Zhu, then don’t be anxious, your boss will be anxious. The business will be in such a hurry.

Lao Zhu said slowly, no, he has held several employee meetings in the factory in succession. He only means that the company will increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the future, and even lay off employees.

He said that the company has also come up with several measures, one of which is a rigid regulation. The expenses of various departments and departments require a reduction of 15 to 35% based on last year.

This is also a normal reaction in the company's difficult times. Wang Yiyuan said, what else should I do? It is also difficult to be a boss.

Lao Zhu said, it would be reasonable to reduce the office, reception fees and other aspects by a few dozen percent, but think about it, Xiao Wang, how can the cost of warehouse departments like ours be reduced? There are only four people in total, so should we force one to leave?

This is indeed a question. Wang Yiyuan thought about it and asked Lao Zhu, do you have this requirement for material procurement?

Of course there is, we belong to this department. Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Now our Manager Luo is probably burning his butt, right?"

Haha, but when we went to see him just now, he still looked very calm and chatting and laughing at the same time? Wang Yiyuan said in confusion.

He has that kind of virtue. Because he is the "four eyes", he hides deeply. Lao Zhu seems to have a lot of objections to Manager Luo. He said that Luo Bin, a country man from Qingpu, does not look at him smiling all day long, this person is actually very thoughtful and will not be revealed easily.

Lao Zhu continued, the company has made it clear that the entire material procurement is reduced by at least 20%. Do you think he can't be in a hurry? His appearance of being unhurried is all fake, and it's for people to see.

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. On the surface, Lao Zhu's words seem to have little to do with Wang Yiyuan. With the current business volume of his printing factory and home textile company, there are only a few tens of thousands of yuan in a year. Even if it is reduced, no matter how much or less, it will not have much direct impact on his factory.

But Wang Yiyuan still heard Lao Zhu's words. He suddenly felt that this time, the home textile company renegotiated and demanded the company's suppliers due to the decline in business volume. As long as he had something to ask for, he felt that it was an opportunity, a good opportunity to get closer to the home textile company and thus expand its business volume.

Wang Yiyuan calmly comforted Lao Zhu a few words, and then said, Lao Zhu, can you give me some packaging boxes that your company is using now? There is no other meaning, I just took them back and analyze them to see if our factory can produce them.

Logically speaking, there is no problem with your request. Lao Zhu seemed to be embarrassed and said, but there are so many dozens of varieties in our warehouse. Are you sure you have to get samples for each of them?

Seeing this, Wang Yiyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, haha, Lao Zhu, you may have misunderstood, why do I want so many, just two.

Haha, Xiao Wang, you scared me just now. Old Zhu sneered. He touched his face and said, "It's only two? I can decide, so you can choose it yourself."
