Chapter 321 I'm Not Your Parent
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Geng spoke, and the first sentence surprised many people...
"I know, the reason why everyone came here today is that they hope to take this opportunity to make money from their unit and improve their financial situation. But what I want to say to you is that I hope everyone will be mentally prepared. Not every company can make money in our cooperation this time."
What's going on? Chen Geng's words made many people stunned: It was you, Chen Geng, who called everyone together. Now you said you may not be able to make money?
Are you kidding everyone?
They were all a group of arrogant soldiers, who could stand this? Someone immediately shouted with some anger: "Manager Chen, what do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple. I doubt everyone's management level and ability to control costs," Chen Geng said bluntly: "For example, Chengfa, Chengfa manufactures motorcycle engines for us. Including the OEM and freight costs, the cost is still three percentage points lower than that of our own production; for example, the motorcycle assembly factory we cooperated with Chengfa, after repeated calculations by both of us, the motorcycle production cost of this factory is twelve percentage points lower than that of our own production.
This is the most fundamental reason why our Runhua Industrial is willing to cooperate with Chengfa, because this kind of cooperation is beneficial to both parties. I know that some of you here hope to get OEM contracts from our Runhua Industrial, but what I want to ask you is: Can your production cost and management level meet our requirements for our partners? Are you sure the cost of the parts you produce can be lower than what we produce ourselves?"
The venue was silent for a moment!
They were not shocked by Chen Geng's words, but their family members knew their own affairs. In addition to the inadequate product renewal and untimely product renewal, one of the important reasons is that the cost remains high. In the military system, which has always been "considering costs and seeking quality", there are heavy-hit areas with high costs, and the cost is much higher than that of state-owned enterprises that produce private goods.
All the leaders of military-industrial enterprises are well aware of this situation. Ask yourself, will Runhua Industrial choose such a partner?
The answer is self-evident.
"Yes, our production costs are a little higher than those of ordinary small factories, but our quality is absolutely excellent," Shaoqing said in a small voice: "And even if our costs are a little bit more, isn't your Runhua Industrial a high profit? What if you give us a little?"
This statement was immediately approved by many people, and similar arguments came one after another...
"That's right, your Runhua Industrial has such high profits and making money. Even if our costs are slightly higher than the costs of your own production, what if you just make less money. Everyone is a state-owned enterprise, so what if we let us have a little? Isn't it appropriate to support each other?"
"Manager Chen, our cost is not much higher than you. Maybe it's only two or three or four percentage points higher than you. But even if you add these two or three or three or four percentage points to a certain part, the overall cost may not increase by one percentage point. But as long as you give our unit the work of producing this part, our unit will be saved. Manager Chen, you will benefit the world..."
Of course, the unspeakable reason hidden behind these arguments is: these reasons are not the most important. The most important thing is how difficult it is to reduce costs. If the cost is so easy, everyone would have reduced it long ago. Can they wait until now? Compared to reducing costs, it seems relatively simple to convince others to accept higher-cost products?
Chen Geng looked at these people indifferently, but in fact he asked himself to give up more profits and did not say anything. He had expected this situation: I hope that state-owned enterprises will take the initiative to reduce costs? It would be better than a sows to climb trees!
But Chen Geng's failure to speak seemed to have caused some misjudgment to everyone, and the crowd suddenly started to shout:
"Yes, anyway, you Runhua Industrial is so rich, it's nothing to give in a little, right?"
"That's right, it's just a little less money, just help everyone..."
Someone even shouted directly: "Manager Chen, I heard you don't have a partner yet? Let's do this. As long as you ask us to factory a little, I promise to introduce you to a beautiful wife. What do you think?"
There was a burst of laughter below!
Lin Shuyao's eyebrows were raised, her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she wanted to go over and just pulled it out: You said that in front of me, the secretary, did you take me seriously?
Looking down, he felt that the driver was scared Chen Geng and seemed a little proud. Chen Geng was also laughing, but when he spoke, his words were like a basin of cold water and poured on everyone's heads: "What everyone said seems to make sense, but what I want to say is: Why?
Why do you ask our Runhua Industrial to give up its own profit?
That's right, everyone's words seem to make sense. Anyway, our Runhua Industrial has high profits. Isn't it still a lot of profits to sacrifice a little bit of our own profit? Just think that it's a little less profit, but the impact is not big anyway.
All of these are true. Of course, we, Runhua Industrial, can help you, but what I want to ask you is, why do we have to sacrifice our own profits to fulfill you? Why haven’t you thought of losing money to support our Runhua Industrial? Why haven’t you thought of starting from your own perspective and finding ways to reduce costs by tapping internal potential?"
As soon as Chen Geng finished speaking, someone immediately shouted: "Reduce costs? Manager Chen, what you said is simple, but how can it be so easy to reduce Chen Ben? If we can reduce us a long time ago, we have to wait until now?"
They said the truth, and reducing costs is too difficult. Compared with taking off and reducing costs, it seems that it is easier for us to join forces to bully Runhua Industrial.
"But what does that have to do with us?" Chen Geng spread his hands and smiled. The smile on his face fell into the eyes of everyone, which seemed particularly hateful: "That is the issue you need to consider, not the issue I need to consider, right? I just chose a partner who is willing to cooperate with our Runhua Industrial."
In short, if you don’t find a way to reduce costs, I will care about your life or death?!
This is very realistic and cold, with a smell of ice slag, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly subsided.
Chen Geng continued: "The cost of 10% for a certain part is three or four percentage points higher than the cost of our own production, but why don't you think of a way first and try to reduce the cost of your 10% lower than the cost of our own production of Runhua Industrial?
If you successfully reduce the cost by a percentage point, you can come to me with confidence and ask me to allocate more profits to everyone, otherwise you Runhua Industrial will never find such a good OEM company. On the other hand, for our Runhua Industrial, even if I give you a few more profits to everyone, the cost will still be reduced. I will happily agree to everyone's request. Isn't it better for us to do this?"
Chen Geng had a kind heart, but his words were like a charming look on the blind man. As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately said disdainfully: "Do you think the cost is just like moving the stones on the mountain? Even if you move the stones on the mountain, you still have to put in your efforts, let alone the production cost? Manager Chen, you think things too simple."
Chen Geng nodded: "So what you mean is that it is difficult to reduce costs?"
"It's not very difficult, it's impossible. We have our own difficulties..."
"Then there is nothing to say," Chen Geng smiled, but the words he said made many people feel sad: "To be honest, I don't care about the difficulties in your unit. That is the issue you should consider as a corporate leader. If you can't do it, it's a factory leader who is not qualified. I only care about if I hand over a certain part to you for production, will I have a price advantage while ensuring quality, otherwise why would I ask you to help me produce?
I know my words are a bit ugly, but Runhua Industrial is a profit-oriented enterprise, not the Ministry of Finance... Even the Ministry of Finance has not paid enough funds to everyone, right?"
Chen Geng's words were like a loud slap in the face, and no one could speak: Yes, even the country cannot make everyone full, why should Runhua Industrial take care of so much?
This principle can be explained anywhere.
It was also at this time that many corporate leaders who had been holding on to take advantage of the situation before, and who were the idea of "if you don't make a profit, you can have a meal if you don't make a profit, you can have a meal at the worst." Finally, they began to face Chen Geng: He is not a lucky boy who succeeds by chance. He really has his own real materials. It is not accidental that Runhua Industrial has come to this day.
At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Geng and finally saw something called respect.
Feeling the changes in everyone's eyes, Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief.
Your age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Your advantage is that compared to doing a career, your age is the biggest advantage. As for your disadvantages, in the eyes of those potential partners, you, a guy who can not only be my son, but even my grandson, want to point fingers at me? Boy, I wonder if I have walked more roads than you have crossed?
