Nine hundred and seventieth chapters helpless surrender
"Your company has sanctioned Huayang Heavy Industry for some reasons that are simply untenable. Our home appliance industry will definitely not stand by. I can tell you clearly that more than 80% of our member companies in the two malls, including Fashion and Fugui, are willing to advance and retreat with Huayang. Please consider how to choose, Ms. Qian."
After saying this, Ke Xueyan stood up, and Ke Lijun also stood up. This time, they were not bluffing, but were really going to say goodbye.
What should be said has been said, and the pressure should be applied has been applied. The rest is for Wanhe Electronics to consider it themselves. It is enough to say a lot of things once. If you say it repeatedly, it will be useless to have no deterrent power.
Qian Qiaoyan smiled reluctantly and took Ke Xueyan and Ke Lijun into the elevator. When she turned around, her face was covered with dark clouds. She took the information about Fugui and Fashion stores just sorted out by her assistant and walked back to her office with great strides.
Qian Qiaoyan was also somewhat skeptical about the threats raised by Ke Xueyan and Ke Lijun.
In this way, the one who suffered the biggest losses was indeed Wanhe Electronics behind it, but did those companies that participated in the boycott have no losses?
To replace chips from other manufacturers means redesigning the circuit and replacing the mold, these costs are also quite large. These small-scale home appliance companies are really willing to bear these costs for the machine tool companies under Xinghua News Agency?
Qian Qiaoyan opened the materials compiled by her assistant and read a few paragraphs in a hurry, and her spine began to feel a little cold.
According to the information, Fugui and Fashion, the two stores, have a great influence in the national appliance industry. If any brand wants to sell well, it must enter these two stores. Conversely, if these two stores decide to join forces to ban a brand, then the brand will basically die halfway.
This means that if Ke Xueyan and Ke Lijun are determined to help Liu Yongzhuo and rely on their monopoly position in the store to threaten home appliance manufacturers to participate in the boycott of Wanhe Electronics, the effect will be very obvious.
Ke Xueyan claimed that more than 80% of member companies would stand with them, which did not seem to be crazy.
Qian Qiaoyan picked up the phone and began to dial the phone number to several domestic appliance companies she was familiar with to find out their words. She first called the phone number from Hongfu Home Appliances Group of Zhejiang Province, and was looking for the group's CEO Lin Weishi.
"Hey, Mr. Lin, I am Qian Qiaoyan, the sales manager of Wanhe Electronics Southeast. I want to know if your company's orders have changed in the second half of the year?"
"Oh. It's Ms. Qian. I'm just trying to ask you something." A generous voice came from the phone, "I heard that you Wanhe Electronics plans to restrict chip purchases for our Xinghua News Agency's companies. Is it true?" Hongfu Home Appliances Group is also one of the franchisees of Xinghua News Agency. That's why Lin Weishi said this.
"Uh..." Qian Qiaoyan stammered. She didn't expect Ke Xueyan and others to be so decisive in their work. In the past two days, they really called the manufacturers. "Mr. Lin, this matter is a misunderstanding. We, Wanhe Electronics, cannot have such a policy."
"There is no such policy? That would be great. Our company is still considering preparing to contact Jiangmen Xianzhe Instruments to replace chips. Ms. Qian, I tell you. What we are most afraid of when doing business is that suppliers go back on their word. As long as there is such a thing once, our cooperation will be avoided in the future."
Lin Weishi there was quite talkative and started teaching Qian Qiaoyan directly, but his Cantonese language had a deep southwest inland accent, which made Qian Qiaoyan quite difficult.
"I swear, such a thing will never happen." Qian Qiaoyan wanted to take out her heart through the phone line and throw it to the other party. "We have just discussed some things with Huayang Heavy Industry about stable supply, and they may have misunderstood some of these things."
"Oh, you mean Huayang Heavy Industry. I have a good relationship with the Liu family in Xinghua News Agency. Liu Haoran is my friend. I have been in love with him for more than ten years. Ms. Qian, how good your cooperation with Huayang Heavy Industry has had a great impact on our Hongfu Group and your cooperation." Lin Weishi said with a slightly threatening tone.
"No, this is impossible." Qian Qiaoyan was really frightened now. Liu Yongzhuo really couldn't afford to offend him. For a long time, Qian Qiaoyan really didn't know that Liu Yongzhuo was Liu Haoran's son, and she didn't know that Huayang Heavy Industry was the Liu family of Xinghua News Agency.
After the two of them exchanged a few more greetings, Qian Qiaoyan hung up the phone. Lin Weishi heard the beeping sound from the microphone, and couldn't wait to pick up his cell phone and dial Ke Xueyan's phone number.
"Mr. Ke, I'll report to you. The Shanghai lady Qian Qiaoyan called me just now. I answered her completely according to your instructions. Don't worry, if she dares not get along with the Liu family, even if I bear the loss of 8 million, I will still stand on the same front with Xinghua News Agency."
"Haha, that little sister will thank Mr. Lin for your kindness for Brother Liu." Ke Xueyan said to Lin Wei with a soft smile.
"Mr. Ke is so polite!" Lin Weishi smiled tactfully, "I have been in love with the Liu family for more than ten years, let alone Mr. Ke's relationship. Wanhe Electronics really dares to make things difficult for Hua Yang, so I will let them drink the northwest wind."
At this time, Qian Qiaoyan called several other home appliance manufacturers, and the reply she received was surprisingly consistent, that is, she was willing to advance and retreat with the machine tool industry headed by Huayang, and both losses and prosper together.
Of course, due to the different personalities of the bosses or sales managers of each manufacturer, the attitude towards Qian Qiaoyan was also different. Some manufacturers had extremely tough attitudes, while others repeatedly emphasized that they were helpless.
However, whether it is tough or helpless, one thing is common, that is, they will not compromise.
After grasping these situations, Qian Qiaoyan, the sales manager of the area, quickly called Kang Qishan and asked him to rush to the office to discuss countermeasures immediately.
"Damn it! This is simply a blackmail!" Kang Qishan was so angry that his teeth were almost broken after hearing Qian Qiaoyan's introduction.
He was originally here to blackmail Huayang Heavy Industry for this trip. Unexpectedly, Huayang Heavy Industry turned around and slapped him loudly: Don’t you want to make things difficult for us on chips? Well, our machine tool industry and home appliance industry will join forces to resist your chips. The east wind blows the war drums. Nowadays, who is afraid of whom!
"Director Kang, we must not let such a thing happen!" Qian Qiaoyan said very firmly, "If we lose the domestic machine tool industry market, we will only lose 50 million; if we lose the entire private home appliance market, it will be a loss of 700 million to 800 million. We will absolutely not be able to bear such losses!"
"You think these people say this. But how likely is it to do this?" Kang Qishan still had some luck, believing that this was the Liu family's trick. Even if Xinghua News Agency is an interest group, it is indefinite whether the franchise companies below are willing to share the joys and sorrows.
Qian Qiaoyan had to persuade him: "Director Kang. Haven't you seen it yet? Liu Yongzhuo is a very good at computing. He has seen the comparison of the power of both sides, so he did not use a separate machine tool industry to fight us, but tied it to the home appliance industry."
"The other party knows that we cannot afford to lose the loss of the entire home appliance industry market in the country. This trump card is not a secret for him. In this case, what other options do we have?"
"What should we do in your opinion?"
"Negotiate with Huayang Heavy Industry immediately. Notify them and cancel the conditions we have previously proposed to them. We promise to meet their chip needs at any time." Qian Qiaoyan said without hesitation.
For Qian Qiaoyan, this plan is just a return to the situation before Kang Qishan came to Dongguan. She did not feel any pressure. The only thing she would feel embarrassed about doing so was Kang Qishan herself.
This is equivalent to a special trip from Shanghai to Dongguan to get some shit. He originally wanted to disgust the Liu family, but the Liu family shoveled it up with a shovel. It was not wasted at all, and it was fed back to his mouth.
If you eat what you pull out by yourself, will there be any more miserable tragedy in life than this?
"I must report this matter to the chairman." Kang Qishan had a dark face and his face was tense.
"I have a phone number here, please give me a try." Qian Qiaoyan really looked down on such a man who could not afford to lose, but the other party was sent by the headquarters after all, so she didn't dare to say anything too much.
In the following time, Qian Qiaoyan withdrew from her office, left Kang Qishan alone, and called the group president Chen Hao. About an hour later, Kang Qishan asked someone to call Qian Qiaoyan in and talked to her.
"Manager Qian, after my efforts to convince, the chairman agreed to the plan you proposed. The home appliance market is a very promising market. Whether it is the home appliance industry or the machine tool industry, we Wanhe Electronics cannot give up easily."
"As for Longyuan Company, they should compete with their domestic counterparts through their own efforts, and it is disgraceful to use our strength."
"It's great." Qian Qiaoyan praised sincerely, "So, when are you planning to meet Liu Yongzhuo to discuss this matter?"
"Then let's do it as soon as possible." Kang Qishan said helplessly. He had thought about whether he could let Qian Qiaoyan talk about this to Liu Yongzhuo on his behalf, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unrealistic.
The person who tied the bell must be untied. In this matter, Wanhe Electronics is afraid of offending Xinghua News Agency and the Liu family. Is Kang Qishan still qualified to be arrogant?
"Let's do this, Manager Qian, arrange a more formal banquet for me. We invite Liu Yongzhuo, as well as Ke Xueyan, Ke Lijun and others you mentioned, in the name, it is called the Most Valuable Customer Association. I think Liu Yongzhuo should be able to know our intentions when he hears this name?"
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do it right away, and the time will be booked tonight." Qian Qiaoyan asked again, "However, to reassure the other party, we may still need to sign a long-term letter of intent with them, and promise them that we will adopt an indiscriminate and non-discriminatory policy for the civil market, which will definitely not affect their chip use."
What's this a matter?
Kang Qishan even wanted to die. Before that, Wanhe Electronics and Huayang Heavy Industry had only an ordinary supply agreement, which was a state of discussion.
In that state, it is still easy for Wanhe Electronics to make things difficult for Huayang Heavy Industry temporarily. Just say that the chips needed by Huayang are currently out of stock.
But now if he wants to sign a long-term letter of intent for cooperation and declare that there is no difference or discrimination, it is equivalent to depriving Wanhe Electronics of the last point of sanctioning the other party. Could it be that he came over to give preferential policies to Huayang Heavy Industry?
But what if you don’t do this?
Huayang Heavy Industry has already doubted the supply safety of Wanhe Electronics and is looking for alternative manufacturers.
If Huayang Heavy Industry is not given a reassurance at this time, it will be a good idea to replace people. If the customers who have finally cultivated are pushed into the arms of competitors because of this matter, it would be unfair.
Think carefully, Wanhe Electronics has no competitive relationship with Huayang Heavy Industry, and Longyuan Company is competing with Huayang Heavy Industry. On the contrary, companies such as Xianzhe Technology Group and Zhida Electronic Instruments are the real competitors of Wanhe Electronics.
The result of Wanhe Electronics' sanctions on Huayang Heavy Industry is to push Huayang Heavy Industry, a big customer with great potential, to its competitors, cheating itself and losing its enemies.
Isn’t this kind of behavior a brainless act to push your customers to your competitors for a company that has nothing to do with you?
Alas, let’s compromise with Huayang Heavy Industry. As long as you lower your head, he will be fine, and I will be fine... Kang Qishan has already started to wander around the world.
On the other hand, Chen Hao, the president of Wanhe Electronics Group, had to call to invite his ally Liao Yi. As soon as he met, he bowed to apologize: "Chairman Liao, I am very sorry for this matter. Please forgive me."
In the office of the chairman of Wanhe Electronics Company, Chen Hao bowed deeply to the angry Liao Yi and expressed his apology in a seemingly sincere tone.
"Mr. Chen, I don't understand this matter very much." Liao Yi suppressed his emotions and said hoarsely: "I came to your company last time and asked your company to give us some support. Mr. Chen also expressed his agreement. But not long after, your company not only did not impose the constraints we expected on Hanhua Heavy Industry, but instead signed a memorandum of strengthening cooperation with them, promising to provide support to them on the principle of non-discrimination."
"I don't understand this very much, so please give me a reasonable explanation." Liao Yi was not only angry now, he was so angry that he was so angry that he smoked his orifices.
Chen Hao lowered his head deeply. He really didn't know how to explain this to Liao Yi.
If Wanhe Electronics remained indifferent after Liao Yi asked for help, she could explain it with Mingzhe’s self-protection. But what Wanhe Electronics did was to send a sales director to Dongguan to sign a more intimate contract with Huayang Heavy Industry Group. Isn’t this a slap in the face of Longyuan Group?
Of course, Chen Hao knew that doing this was a hatred for himself, but now that things have come to this point, what can he do if he doesn’t do this?
He sent Kang Qishan to provoke Huayang Heavy Industry, but was strongly countered by the other party. In order to stabilize the domestic home appliance market, he could only instruct Kang Qishan to compromise.
In the eyes of outsiders, they cannot see the twists and turns in between. They can only understand that Wanhe Electronics Company is deliberately opposing Longyuan Group.
"Chairman Liao, please believe that we did not do this on purpose." Chen Hao could only try his best to explain it clearly. The real reason was too embarrassing. He could not tell Liao.
"As an upstream supplier, it is very taboo to make it difficult for downstream customers in product supply. This time, several industry associations of Xinghua News Agency came forward and asked to sign long-term cooperation agreements with us to avoid the risks of accessories. If we do not agree, they will seek to order from other domestic manufacturers."
"You also know that it is a period of great economic development. Because production continues to expand, our company's financial situation is also very bad. Stable cooperation with the home appliance market is also a problem we have to consider. So... Chairman Liao is grateful."
"It's true that I just want to protect myself." Liao Yi shook his head sadly, "Xinghua Club can pick up the group and join forces to negotiate with us. However, we new technology companies are only concerned about our own interests and do not hesitate to sit back and watch the demise of other alliance companies. If this continues, we will really be done."
Wanhe Electronics and Longyuan Group are actually both peripheral enterprises of the underground palace. Part of their profits will eventually flow to the underground palace as activity funds. Of course, the relationship is not very close. These peripheral enterprises only obtain protection and scientific and technological assistance from the underground palace in this way.
Otherwise, how can these companies confront the three powerful groups? If you join the other party, the benefits to be sold will not be that much, and you may not even have business autonomy.
Chen Hao knew that the grudges between the two sides were deep, and it was impossible to bridge them. He no longer made such unnecessary efforts, but just said words of reconciliation intently.
"Chairman Liao is full of words. I believe that with Longyuan Company's competitiveness, we will definitely be able to quickly reverse the current adverse situation and win the competition again. Our Wanhe Electronics Company is willing to provide you with technical support as always."
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your encouragement. Indeed, no matter what, we must compete with Xinghua Club." Liao Yi was not discouraged. He stood up, saluted Chen Hao, and then said goodbye.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Chen Hao: "Mr. Chen, I have a saying I want to give to you. I believe you will understand one day."
"Thank you very much, what do you mean?" Chen Hao pricked up his ears and listened.
Liao Yi took a deep breath, and then said in a sinister tone: "You will regret it!" To be continued...
