Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 350 Unwinnable Price War

The two technicians in Jiangbei Oilfield couldn't just sit around and not work. Since they didn't have the enthusiasm to sell technology, they could only let them fight.

The technician surnamed Wu nodded immediately, and called his companions to go out to buy food together.Niu Xiaoqiang followed the two to the exit of the exhibition hall, and soon found Fang Dongping squatting in the corner smoking.

Fang Dongping was originally dressed neatly, but after a whole morning of tossing around, his original neat and clean image no longer exists, replaced by a mess that can be seen at a glance.

Two of the buttons on his jacket were missing, his neatly combed hair was messed up, and his trousers were wrinkled.At this moment, he frowned, sighed while smoking, and obviously lost a little confidence in selling the engine.

"Master, it seems that smoking is not allowed here? It's not good to be seen by the staff, why don't we go to the street to smoke?"

Fang Dongping saw that Niu Xiaoqiang was coming, and asked an unexpected question: "Did you have any harvest in the morning?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly: "After tossing and tossing all morning, there is nothing to gain. The main reason is that there are too many people and it is difficult to carry out work."

Fang Dongping threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out: "Let's continue, I don't believe in this evil anymore!"

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly stopped him: "Don't worry, anyway, the exhibition will last for a week, and it's only been half a day, so there's no problem. It's already noon, let's continue after lunch."

Fang Dongping looked at his watch, "Alright, work after dinner."

With Niu Xiaoqiang's help, Fang Dongping finally returned to the booth.Not long after the two of them sat down, Li Yu, who was soliciting customers, had a conflict with others: "Which unit do you belong to? Do you do things like this? They are still talking about business with me, how can you grab it?"

The other party was a bald man. After listening to Li Yu's reprimand, the bald man said nonchalantly: "This is called ability. If you have the ability, take the merchant back?"

Li Yu only got a merchant who was interested in purchasing in the morning, and was cut off halfway by the other party in the end. Hearing this, he was so angry that he trembled all over, wishing to punch him.

However, he finally controlled his emotions. If he really hit someone, his pass would be confiscated directly, and if the circumstances were serious, he would be locked up in the police station, which is very uneconomical.

The bald man looked at Li Yu triumphantly, and said provocatively: "You don't dare to do it, do you? If you don't dare to do it, brother will be leaving soon, bye."

"Damn scum! I—"

Li Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved his fist.Fortunately, at the critical moment, a big hand grabbed his arm.The person who blocked it was Lao Wang.He and Tian Laosan were nearby, and when they saw Li Yu arguing with someone, they rushed over to help.

They are very clear about the rules of the exhibition. Once Li Yu really makes a move, the reason will become unreasonable.

"Xiao Li, calm down, don't spoil the big event on the spur of the moment."

"Old Wang is right. Don't worry about that kind of villain. If you really can't swallow this breath, you can wait until the exhibition is over to deal with him."

The two of them pulled and persuaded, and finally calmed down Li Yu's anger.The three of them returned to booth No. 077 together, all looking a little dignified.

The three people resting behind the booth saw clearly what happened just now, Niu Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand and patted Li Yu's shoulder: "Mr. Li, I have seen your efforts, and Factory Manager Fang, I can't blame you for what happened just now." , the blame is only that there are too many villains, breaking the business rules."

Niu Xiaoqiang worked hard all morning. Although he didn't get an order, he got a better understanding of the Canton Fair.There was only one word that touched him the most - chaos.

The so-called chaos, in addition to being used to describe the messy on-site environment, can also be used to describe the behavior style of each exhibitor.Li Yu's experience is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon. Niu Xiaoqiang has seen more than one cut off in the middle.

Some manufacturers have already negotiated the price with the purchaser, and are waiting for the final signing of the purchase contract.As a result, other manufacturers of the same type suddenly jumped out, quoted a lower price than them, and easily pulled away the merchants who were interested in buying.

This way of fighting price wars is very frustrating and suffocating.But since they did offer a lower price, what else can you do but get angry?Is it possible to fight with others?What if I beat someone and got fired?

Li Yu also understood this situation, and he sat down indignantly: "You are right, there are really too many villains, the manufacturers in this province are okay, and they will take care of each other's feelings, but those manufacturers in other provinces It's too disgraceful, they are clearly grabbing other people's jobs! As the saying goes, there is no rule, if this situation continues, I think this exhibition will collapse sooner or later! Secretary Niu, you Don’t you know Director Fan? Can you give him your opinion?”

Fang Dongping nodded slightly: "Xiao Li is right, we should go to Director Fan for advice."

Now that Fang Dongping said that, Niu Xiaoqiang could only nod his head: "Okay, I will mention it to him when the opportunity is right. As for whether it will be effective, it's hard to say."

Whether it's Li Yu or Fang Dongping, they both know that it probably won't work.No matter how powerful Fan Demin is, he is only the head of the Department of Light Industry and Light Industry. He can only manage enterprises in the province, but he has no right to manage enterprises in other provinces.

The two of them were just looking for psychological comfort, so they said that.Once Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, the two stopped talking.

Although it was still lively outside, the atmosphere behind the booth seemed a bit dull.In order to ease the atmosphere, Niu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to ask: "Minister Li, what kind of business did you discuss with the customer just now?"

"It's toilet water. That merchant is from Shangjiang. He wants to buy some toilet water and sell it in Shangjiang. The price I negotiated with him is [-] cents a bottle, and we will bear the freight. This business is still profitable, damn it What happened was that the bald man stuck in the middle and took away our business!"

"What kind of price is that bald man asking?"

"Sixty cents a bottle. Their factory is near Shangjiang, and the shipping cost is much cheaper than ours. Therefore, even if the unit price is [-] cents lower than ours, they still make a profit. Unlike us, it is too far away from Shangjiang. If there is a price war , will definitely lose money.”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and thought to himself: The actual cost of Four Seasons toilet water is only [-] cents a bottle. Even if we also offer [-] cents, we will definitely make money, but the other party also produces toilet water, and the cost will not be much higher than ours. In case people continue to lower the price, they will also make money, but we will be in danger, so the price war will not work at all.
