Chapter 100 Finding a Business
The salesman who rarely speaks interrupted, "I just asked the old man who was guarding the gate to quietly understand the situation. The old man who guarded the gate said that his backstage was very large and seemed to have a good relationship with the daughter of a high-ranking official. He also said that the equipment he purchased was all free of money, so he used it to make money first."
Deputy General Manager Wei glanced at the salesperson and said, "If he really had a backend, we probably knew that they were not using the S-06 method and could not get it. The factory he took us to visit was simply a cover, and the real thing must be hidden in other places."
The marketing manager said: "Mr. Wei, why don't we do this? First produce part of them according to the contract. After most of the orders are completed, we use the excuse that there is something wrong with our equipment and suddenly stop doing it. If they don't tell the heat treatment method, we will..."
Deputy General Manager Wei quietly glanced at the salesperson, then angrily scolded the marketing manager: "What are you saying? How can you not comply with the contract so much? Although I know you are for the company's good and to obtain new technologies to improve our processing level, your behavior is wrong..."
The marketing manager knew that the boss's criticism was just an illusion, but in fact it was a kind of affirmation, which was to prevent the salesperson from making random smokes in front of others in the future, but he still pretended to be taught and said sincerely: "Mr. Wei's criticism is right, because I am too eager for quick success and instant benefits, but I am wrong, I will review it with the leader."
...
Peng Huading naturally didn't know that someone was plotting against him. At this time, he was busy designing his own processing equipment in the office.
Compared to where he lives, the office is spacious and bright, which is obviously more suitable for his work. Anyway, Wang Jilin doesn't care about his business now, so he just stays in the office to do his own business.
However, his luck was not always good. Just when he was at work on Thursday, Ye Qiong, a general manager of the office, brought a stack of information and a business card, and said to Peng Huading: "Xiao Peng, Director Wang asked you to go to Yuejiang Shipping Company to attend their equipment selection and technology exchange meeting,... and cooperate with other manufacturers to participate in the battery bidding."
Peng Huading sneered in his heart: "This man surnamed Wang is really the best, and he uses this kind of thing to make fun of me."
To put it bluntly, it is just a fun place to join in the fun. Nowadays, more and more customers are bidding when purchasing, selecting manufacturers with high cost performance and selecting products with the highest cost performance. Compared with the past, when purchasing agents go out to buy or manufacturers go to sell, the bidding method is to compare stores, which can greatly save costs and reduce the possibility of buying defective or inferior products.
However, manufacturers do not want to really dance with the buyer. They come up with various ways to deal with this kind of method of killing each other by manufacturers in order to maximize their profits.
Although they have no way to prevent the purchaser from bidding, they can unite and everyone takes care of each other. After private contact and discussion, they reach a temporary alliance and unite to occupy the business in a certain area. Through their work together, the purchaser of this area only issues bids to a few specific manufacturers, and then take turns to get different manufacturers to win the bid.
Because everyone has the opportunity to win the bid, we will not be too frightened when bidding, and we will not be too low to make a small profit or even lose money.
Now Wang Jilin arranged for him to cooperate with other manufacturers. To put it bluntly, he asked him to accompany the bidding - to help the registered manufacturer make the purchaser's bidding activities lively, so that outsiders can't see any flaws. However, when filling out the bid, Huakang Company and other accompanying companies will deliberately set the price high, or put forward some strict requirements on customers in terms of supply time, after-sales service, warranty deadlines, etc., and take the initiative to get out of the market to ensure that the manufacturer or company arranged by everyone won the bid.
The winning manufacturer or company will also take the initiative to eliminate the bid in the next bid, allowing another manufacturer or company to win the bid.
It can be said that this method of bidding after negotiation is also a helpless move by the manufacturer.
However, this method is not necessarily reliable. Once the purchaser does not listen to the hello and suddenly introduces new companies from other places to participate in competition, or a manufacturer suddenly finds a strong backend in the alliance reached by the manufacturer, or a manufacturer suddenly fails to follow the private agreement, this kind of agreement that cannot be put on the table becomes empty talk. Therefore, the manufacturer is constantly looking for allies in private, but also carefully guarding against allies.
Even though he knew that he was going to accompany the prince to study today, Peng Huading still decided to go there: one, he was tired of checking the information himself, so he took this opportunity to take a break; two, he could learn the experience of bidding and bidding to accumulate experience for his future operation of the company; three, he had not officially resigned and was still waiting for Wang Guosheng's arrest, so he should be doing what he should do when he went to work.
Another reason is that the company he is going to is the most famous shipping company in Yuejiang City and even the province. They own many large ships and large electromechanical equipment, and they need to purchase a large number of electromechanical equipment and parts every year. After going there, you can fully understand their needs and see if there are any business opportunities for their own company there.
Obviously, the last reason is the real reason why Peng Huading set out: he must find business for his company.
There is no income without business, which is what fools know.
Peng Huading took the information and business card, asked about the time of the technical exchange meeting, and after preparing for a while, he went out. When he went out, the weather was very bad, it was raining and thundering, and the sky was also dark and dark.
However, the office is not far from Yuejiang Shipping Co., Ltd., and the taxi will arrive in just a few minutes. It went very smoothly. The security guard at the gate just asked Peng Huading a few words, looked at his ID, asked him to register and let him go.
When the security guard was registering the information, Peng Huading consciously paid attention to the list of visitors on the record book. On it, he saw the names of two battery companies: one is called Ludong Double-End Battery Co., Ltd. and the other is called Longjiang Guangyu Battery Factory.
After asking the security guard about the location of the company's equipment department, Peng Huading walked straight over.
Before I could reach the equipment department, I saw a young employee coming towards me and asked proudly: "You are also a battery factory to promote batteries, right?"
Peng Huading replied with a smile: "Yes, I am from Zhongnan Huakang Power Supply Co., Ltd. My name is..."
The young employee interrupted him impatiently and said, "Go to the conference room next door, where someone will receive you." As he said, he muttered again, "Why don't these manufacturers come together? Come one by one at a time, let me wait for how long, really."
Peng Huading pretended not to hear the complaints from the customer, and said thank you and walked towards the conference room next to him. There were four people sitting in the conference room, in groups of two, one in two, one in the group inside, one in the group, one in the group, one in the twenties but less than thirty years old. The group on the left against the wall was two men, one in their old age, one in their forties, and the young one was about the same age as Peng Huading.
When the four of them saw Peng Huading come in, they all looked at him. Seeing that he was not wearing the work clothes of the shipping company, some people showed suspicious eyes, some people looked calm, and the woman snorted sarcastically.
Peng Huading knew that they were also salesmen of the battery manufacturer, so he smiled at them and found a seat to sit down. Not long after he sat down, two young men who were obviously battery manufacturers came in. One of them was wearing a white shirt and tie and said with a smile: "Haha, today is another battle... Miss Zhu, are you here too?"
