Special Red Wine Supplier [Interstellar]

Xihong Chamber of Commerce, Xingjierxing Branch of the Eighth Star Region.

"Boss, boss!" Chi Qi, head of the operation department, ran into the president's office in a hurry.

The president is an old man named Cai Sheng, with a soft and sparse white beard on his lips, he said slowly: "Xiao Chi, I have told you several times, be careful!"

Chi Qi swallowed. "Boss, new energy energy balls are on sale! Super hot! Demand exceeds supply! Xingjier Star is out of stock! Do you want the headquarters to allocate more quota?"

The president pinched his beard and moved slowly: "You said that all the new energy balls are sold out?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Many merchants have come to buy goods, and some old customers complain that we can't supply the old partners first! It's really hot!" Chi Qi said, and handed over the report and purchase application form.

After turning over the two forms, the president believed Chi Qi's words, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Generally speaking, it takes a period for a product to enter the market and be recognized by the market.The sales performance of new products that are still in the trial period is often relatively bleak, and they need to be well-known through promotional activities and other models.

In this case, the cost of publicity fees in the early stage is much higher than the profit, and the actual profit can only be made after a firm foothold.

Originally, Xihong Chamber of Commerce sent this batch of new products, and he was still a little troubled. This year, the Xingjierxing Branch is cleaning up the net profit rankings, and these batches will definitely stay and affect the rankings.However, the total score will force a showdown, and each planetary club has a quota, so he can't refuse.

Unexpectedly, there will be a grand occasion where all the products are sold out within two days of entering the market.

The chairman was puzzled in his heart, this really did not conform to the laws of the market.

Could it be that the new energy is exceptionally good, and the low pricing was found to be a leak?

But in the product manual of the headquarters, it is clear that the conversion rate of this energy ball to supernatural power is [-]% to [-]% higher than that of ordinary energy balls, and the price is also set at a level of [-]% higher than ordinary energy balls.

The president rubbed his little white beard, and he was almost bald.After a long while, he shook his hand and told Chi Qi to leave. He continued to lower his head and study the report in his hand.

After a long time, he opened the communication link.

The other party of the communication is the person in charge of the operation department of the Xihong Chamber of Commerce headquarters, named Xu Nian.

The president faced Xu Nian with a somewhat complacent tone: "Old Xu, Xingjier Xingjier is planning to add another batch of new energy balls, three times the amount last time."

Although I can't analyze the situation of selling out in half a day, but the real money is there, and the performance is so good, the president is also a little proud.Normally, the headquarters would force sales assignments, but now that I take the initiative to mention them, the other party can't treat them differently.

Xu Nian looked embarrassed, the two had some family friendship, not to mention that the other party was an old employee. "President Cai, it's not that I'm embarrassing you. The sales of this batch of new energy balls are a bit hot, and the supply in stock is in short supply."

The chairman was at a loss.

Xu Nian simply held up a stack of lists on the table: "This is the purchase order submitted by each branch. Our first batch of energy balls produced is not much in stock. According to the purchase order submitted now, the inventory has basically been cleared. Yes. The next batch of goods is still in production, and it is estimated to take a week."

Xu Nian told the truth about the situation, and said a word of reassurance: "Don't worry, I will re-allocate the quotas of each planet, and I won't let you lose any goods."

President Cai took a long time to react, and asked doubtfully, "Are all the planets selling well?"

"Supply exceeds demand, there is no market for price, and many people raise prices to purchase."

"But according to the product manual of the headquarters, the performance of this energy ball is quite average." Chairman Cai said.The whiteboard energy ball is considered a necessity, and it stands to reason that there is no great fluctuation in supply and demand.

Xu Nian couldn't answer this question: "The R&D department will continue to follow up. Maybe some customers value the one to three percent mental power absorption."

The president was a little depressed. He originally came to purchase with a little credit, but he didn't expect that there were no goods in the end.

After cutting off the communication, Xu Nian stared at the stack of purchase orders on the table in a daze.

There was a heavy knock on the wooden door.

"Please come in."

The person who came in was Xu Nian's subordinate, a newly recruited graduate this year, quite intelligent and capable, who Xu Nian wanted to focus on training as his successor.

"What's wrong, Xiaowei?" Xu Nian asked.

Xiaowei was awkward for a while, and after brewing his words, he said: "Minister, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange."

Xu Nian: "Tell me."

Xiaowei said: "The biggest advantage of the whiteboard energy ball made by New Energy is the lower production cost. This advantage is for enterprises and producers. For customers, the price of our products is not lower than that of the old energy ball, and it is also There is no price advantage. Then, there will be a phenomenon of short supply. It must be that the product itself has a bright spot. But whether it is the initial product inspection report or the re-inspection of the scientific research department this morning, it shows that its performance is mediocre. I myself I tried to use the new energy ball to make a power ball, and the experience is not much different from the old product.”

Xu Nian nodded, motioning for Xiaowei to continue.

"Past experience tells us that consumers need an acceptance process for new products, and promoting new products in the early stage is a very difficult task, often requiring consumers to taste the sweetness, such as using subsidy strategies, such as bundling with old products Sales, and appropriate profit sharing. Therefore, there is no rejection period and acceptance period for new products on a large scale throughout the Federation. I don’t think there is a normal market behavior behind it.”

As Xiaowei said, it's not like Xu Nian didn't think about it. At any rate, he has 80 to [-] years of workplace experience.

"Then what do you think it should be?"

Xiaowei: "I personally think that it is still a step-by-step process, and the original promotion plan should not be changed because of the current market supply and demand. It takes a long time to observe market feedback."

Xu Nian nodded: "Okay, I see, you go back to your post first."

Xiaowei stepped out of the office with his front foot, and the communicator rang with his back foot.Xu Nian connected and found out that it was Mr. Fei, the president of Xihong Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Fei, I happen to have something to report to you."

Mr. Fei is in his 220s this year, with silver hair on his temples, full forehead, and kind-hearted looks.However, everyone knows that he is an old fox who has been in the mall for many years, and every drop of blood is full of copper and conspiracy.

Xu Nian explained the whole story and analysis of the incident.

Mr. Fei nodded: "I've heard of all of these."

Xu Nian felt a little uncomfortable at the bottom of his heart. He knew in his heart that Boss Fei was wary of him after all. He obviously had eyes and ears around him and knew the company's dynamics like the back of his hand.

Xu Nian suppressed the bad feeling in his heart: "Mr. Fei, I think we should proceed step by step, and don't be disturbed by the market to promote the rhythm of new products."

On the other side of the screen, the shrewd old man shook his head and said earnestly: "Xu Nian, you are too conservative, lacking a little adaptability and ambition. Now that the new energy ball product has been well received, we should follow the trend and take the opportunity to occupy the market."

Xu Nian: "But this market is not in a normal state..."

Mr. Fei: "There is nothing normal or abnormal. The market is always changing rapidly. Whoever can grasp the opportunity will have the last laugh. Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, he wants to give it up. Isn't it a fool. You know, we The Red Chamber of Commerce is lucky, if it wasn't for the chaos in the fourth star field, the First Chamber of Commerce also joined the melee, and this fight would have been even more intense."

Xu Nian still wanted to argue with reason, but before he could speak, Mr. Fei said again: "By the way, you have a lot of things on hand recently. For new products, I will send Xu Ziyi to assist you."

Xu Ziyi is Mr. Fei's right-hand man. He is a man of both sides. In terms of strength, he has three-line tenth-level abilities, an absolute powerhouse.But when it comes to doing business, they basically have seven senses and six senses, and they don't know anything.Rather than sending him to assist, it is better to send him to monitor.

Xu Nian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only try his best and said, "Mr. Fei, otherwise, let's observe for a while to see the sales of the inventory. If the market feedback is still good, continue to use Mr. Fei expansion plans?"

Mr. Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and the skin around the corners of his eyes showed strange lines, like a piece of unsoaked bean curd.After a long time, he hummed, affirming the hero.

central star.

Xihong Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Mr. Fei cut off the communication screen and looked at the old man standing by the window.

The old man was thin and shriveled, standing by the window to bask in the sun, like a dark brown tree trunk that had been dead for many years.

"Old Fei seems to have something on his mind?" the old man asked.

It was rare for Mr. Fei to lower his eyebrows and look pleasing to the eye: "It's about the new energy ball."

"What? Isn't the advance satisfactory?"

"That's not true, it's too ideal."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Mr. Fei got up and stood beside the old man: "Yes, thanks to Mr. Wu and the young master for their support, the Xihong Chamber of Commerce is able to have what it is today."

The old man named Wulao didn't smile, and his thin cheeks showed a smile: "Fei is always a talent, so don't be too modest. But then again, how did you do what I told you last time?"

Mr. Fei nodded: "Wu always talked about grabbing the market with the First Chamber of Commerce?"

"Ah."

"I personally think that this new energy energy ball is an opportunity. The whiteboard energy ball is a project with a relatively high operating profit under the name of the First Chamber of Commerce. If it can seize the energy ball market share of the First Chamber of Commerce, let alone half of it." Fate, there are always injuries."

Wu Lao nodded, very satisfied. "Very good, I don't worry about Mr. Fei's work."

Boss Fei lowered his head and said that seizing the market was a euphemism. The other party's original intention was very straightforward, wanting to suppress and destroy the No. [-] Chamber of Commerce.Mr. Fei was actually curious about the enmity between Wu Lao and the First Chamber of Commerce.Logically speaking, Wei Ju'an is shrewd, cunning and cunning, and the losers who have fought against him will feel tired of him, but he is not a bad person, otherwise he would not be able to thrive in the mall.

Fei Lao took a peek at the old man, he didn't know the origin of this man, including the youth who sometimes appeared in pairs with him.However, the Xihong Chamber of Commerce has been able to develop from a small planet-level chamber of commerce to a federal-level chamber of commerce, and the other party has contributed a lot, whether it is financial support or policy support.

Fei Lao knew in his heart that they might be constructing an instrument, and he was just a small part of that instrument, or even a small part that could be replaced at any time.However, he has lived for so many years, and one of the truths he understands the most is that people are rarely confused, and knowing too much often leads to the worst death.

Wu Lao spoke again. "This time, there is a bug swarm in the fourth star field, and the first chamber of commerce has also gained strength. You must seize the opportunity and don't miss it."

Old Fei nodded in agreement.

"Don't be like the Red Shark Chamber of Commerce, where success is not enough and failure is more than failure." Wu Lao closed his eyes, the light from the window hit his eyelashes, leaving two shadows under his eyes, like two black wriggling worms.

Mr. Fei's heart skipped a beat.The Red Shark Chamber of Commerce seems to have lost its vitality after the last gathering of thousands of merchants, and has not heard of it for some time.

Ninth star field, Nine Dragons.

The wind and snow fell persistently for three days and three nights, and the outdoor flowers and plants tried to enter hibernation mode, with every leaf and branch curled up.

The Ninth Star Domain Division of the First Chamber of Commerce.

The person in charge Liu Rui looked at Wei Ju'an tremblingly.

Wei Juan was in a good mood today, enjoying the snow by the window with a glass of red wine.A pure white robe and coat seemed to blend in with the vast expanse of snow.

"Boss, I have conveyed all the things you ordered last time to the confidentiality departments of each star field, and it is progressing smoothly." Liu Rui said.

Wei Ju'an nodded, shaking the red wine in his hand lightly and slowly, as if everything was under control.

Liu Rui looked at the red wine glass, the red wine was hanging on the glass with the shaking, it is said that this is the evidence of good wine.

"Boss, I don't understand very well. Aren't we increasing sales for others by doing this?"

"Yes." Wei Juan took it for granted.

Liu Rui didn't understand why the boss was so confident. Logically speaking, the boss couldn't guess what was on his mind, but he was really curious. "Boss, forgive me for my stupidity. Although the quantity of new energy balls of the Western Red Chamber of Commerce is not large, and the price is moderate, it only costs a little for us to sweep the entire Federation of goods. However, the factory of the Western Red Chamber of Commerce has been in operation, and the goods continue to flow On the shelves, do we want to continue purchasing at this level?"

Wei Ju'an adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, took out a glass, and poured a glass of red wine for Liu Rui.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Wei Ju'an said with a smile, that smile was mixed with slyness and kindness, making you want to go through fire and water desperately, but also be held back by reason.

Liu Rui didn't dare to look at Wei Ju'an, and said his guess honestly: "The boss wants to cut off all the products, so that the new products of Xihong Chamber of Commerce cannot enter the market. We will wait until the factories of our chamber of commerce start to operate on a large scale before starting to sell. New product."

Wei Ju'an still smiled: "Okay, let's follow your thinking. The Xihong Chamber of Commerce finds that the supply of goods is in short supply. What will he do?"

"Increased horsepower production?"

"Well, how do we deal with that?"

"Continue to monopoly buying?"

"Well, what will happen when the Xihong Chamber of Commerce finds out that it's sold out again?"

Liu Rui hesitated for a moment, uncertain: "The factory continues to open? The price of energy balls has increased?"

"Well, what about us?"

"Continue to buy?" Liu Rui hesitated.Logically, it seems to make sense, but if this cycle is repeated, the amount of funds flowing out will snowball into a sky-high figure.

Wei Ju'an took a sip of wine: "Then what do you think we should do besides continuing to buy?"

Liu Rui mobilized all his brain cells. He was born in business operations in his early years, but he was mainly responsible for personnel work later on, and his market acumen was not as good as before.

After a long time, Liu Rui stammered and made an analysis: "First of all, there is no bottomless expenditure on the flow of funds, and the flow of funds must be recovered, so the best way is to repackage the recovered energy balls and push them to the market; secondly, The resumption of the energy ball factory is too affected by the war, so it is better to increase the number of factories in the eighth star field, expand production, and get out of the predicament as soon as possible."

Wei Ju'an smiled, and fiddled with the leaves of a potted plant on the windowsill, the dying leaves fell all over the table.

"Xiao Liu, I can't say that you haven't used your brain. It can only be said that you can't play a good song by fiddle with five of ten strings in your brain." Wei Ju'an gave Liu Rui a meaningful look, and continued: "You said that the energy ball It’s not wrong to push the repurchase funds into the market again, but if we push it into the market now, won’t the other party find out that we are repurchasing it? As we all know, only our two chambers of commerce have detected new energy, and our factories have shut down in large areas. It is impossible to produce new products, and if we launch products now, there will be no silver 300 taels here."

Liu Rui nodded again and again, as if the other party was echoing rather than slapping her in the face.

Wei Ju'an continued to smile and said: "As for the increase in production of the new factory you mentioned. Not to mention the repetitive procedures of the establishment of the factory itself, and the high cost of capital in the early stage, have you ever thought that the demand for the entire Federation's whiteboard energy balls is stable and basically fluctuates up and down? No more than [-]%. Once peace is restored in the fourth star field and the factory resumes normal operation, how to deal with the extra production capacity? Shut down the new factory? Cut prices? Either way, the gains outweigh the losses.”

Liu Rui grabbed the corner of his clothes a little nervously. When the boss said this, he felt that he was a spy of a competitor who broke into the No. [-] Chamber of Commerce, and came up with some bad ideas.

Liu Rui: "But if it continues, won't it be a prisoner's dilemma?" Liu Rui is a little pessimistic. If the acquisition continues, the capital consumption will be huge. If they remain indifferent, they will let the other party seize the market.

Wei Juan smiled without saying a word, and continued to shake the wine glass.

The liquid in the wine glass is swaying, like the red clouds at sunset, when the clouds dissipate, the sky will change.

"If you have time, you can go to the 1848 wine shop, don't look at it, it's a small shop, from the owner to the products are wonderful." Wei Ju'an sincerely suggested.
