Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 127 Warehouse Old Zhu
Lao Zhu carefully tore off the film on the outside of the pack of cigarettes, but he didn't take out the cigarettes, he just took the whole pack of cigarettes under his nose and sniffed.He said as if intoxicated, Xiao Wang, a good cigarette is a good cigarette after all, and it tastes old and good.

Wang Yiyuan said casually, "Someone gave it to me a few days ago. I don't smoke, and I don't know whether it's good or bad, so I passed it on to you."

Old Zhu then said, the cigarette is a good one, and Xiao Wang, you are also a good guy, it's just a pity.

Wang Yiyuan was puzzled, and said, Lao Zhu, how do you say this?What a pity, isn't it just a pack of cigarettes, worthy of your great gratitude?
Hehe, my pity means that you are pity.Lao Zhu said, Xiao Wang, you know, I am just a bad old man who looks after the warehouse, and I am not very helpful in the company.That's why I said, it's a pity to give me such a good cigarette.

Hehe, Lao Zhu, it’s just a pack of cigarettes, no matter what I do, I can still afford it if I work hard.Wang Yiyuan said with a smile.Old Zhu, don't think that I'm giving you cigarettes, so you think I have something to ask of you.It's okay to come and see you if you don't have anything to do.

Hu Jianguo sat aside and remained silent.Lao Zhu pointed at him and asked Wang Yiyuan, why, you brought someone here today after giving away such a small amount of trademark stickers?

Hu Jianguo smiled at Old Zhu and said, Hello Old Zhu.No, I'm also a salesperson. I came to Fengxian with Xiao Wang Shunlu today, and I have to deliver to another company.

Oh, you are from Shanghai.Lao Zhu said again, I can tell from your accent, it is more authentic, and the pronunciation is different from our country.

Hu Jianguo nodded without a trace.Wang Yiyuan asked Lao Zhu, how is the business of the company's home textile products recently?

Well, how should I put it.Lao Zhu took two teacups from the cabinet next to them, swirled them with boiling water, put in tea leaves, and poured boiling water to soak them.Wang Yiyuan hurried over to bring over the teacup, and gave it to Hu Jianguo.

Lao Zhu packed up the remaining tea leaves and said that the company's business was quite good in the first half of this year, and it will get worse month by month after August.I have counted the auxiliary supplies here, such as this packing box, the whole sum, compared with the best time, is now at least one-third less every month.

How much time has been reduced in a few months?Wang Yiyuan felt very strange.

Lao Zhu put on his presbyopic glasses, took out the delivery record book from the drawer, and said in a nutshell, yes, look, the shipment volume of the pillow box alone, compared to the previous May, It has plummeted by more than half.

oh?so serious?Wang Yiyuan continued to ask, the reduction of 50.00% in less than half a year is what we call a cliff-like collapse. How could it be like this?
Lao Zhu said that he heard from people in the company that it was mainly caused by poor export.In the past, most of our company's products were exported, mainly to some developed countries in Europe and America.But now the export situation in these places is not optimistic, especially when I heard that the list of exports to the United States is the worst, and several large orders have been canceled one after another, so now it is getting worse day by day, and the number of exports has been greatly reduced.

Wang Yiyuan and the others didn't speak any more. He picked up the teacup and blew the foam on the tea.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Wang Yiyuan said, "Old Zhu, don't be in a hurry, your boss, the business is going down like this, you will be in a hurry."

Old Zhu said slowly, no, there have been several factory-wide employee meetings in a row.The meaning is only one, saying that the company will increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the future, and even layoffs may be possible.

He said that now the company has come up with several measures, one of which is a rigid regulation, and the cost of each department is required to be reduced by 15.00% to 35% compared with last year.

This is also a normal reaction of companies in difficult times.Wang Yiyuan said, what else should I do?It's not easy being a boss either.

However, Lao Zhu said that it would be reasonable to reduce the office and reception costs by tens of percent, but think about it, Xiao Wang, how can the costs be reduced for a warehouse department like ours?There are only four people in total. Are we going to force us to get rid of one of them?

This is indeed a problem.Wang Yiyuan thought for a while, and asked Lao Zhu, do you have this requirement for your material purchase?
Of course, we belong to this department.Old Zhu smiled and said, now our manager Luo is probably burning his ass, right?

Hehe, but when we went to see him just now, he was still very calm, talking and laughing at ease?Wang Yiyuan said doubtfully.

He has that virtue.Because he has "four eyes", he hides it very deeply.Lao Zhu seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Manager Luo. He said, Luo Bin, a countryman from Qingpu, don't look at him smiling all day long.

Lao Zhu continued, the company has made it clear that our entire material procurement will be reduced by at least 20.00%. Do you think he can be in a hurry?His superficial calmness is all fake, just for people to see.

He does not mean that.On the surface, these words of Lao Zhu have little to do with Wang Yiyuan. With the current business volume of his printing factory and home textile company, it is only tens of thousands of yuan in a year anyway. More or less, it does not have much direct impact on their own factories.

But Wang Yiyuan still heard these words of Lao Zhu in his heart.He suddenly felt that due to the decline in business volume, the Home Textile Company had renegotiated and demanded prices from the company's suppliers. A good opportunity to do a lot of business.

Wang Yiyuan remained calm, comforted Lao Zhu a few words in a soft voice, and then said, Lao Zhu, can you give me some packaging boxes that your company is currently using?There is no other meaning, I just take it back and analyze it to see if it can be produced in our factory.

Logically speaking, your request is not a problem at all.Lao Zhu seemed a little embarrassed and said, but there are so many dozens of varieties in our warehouse, are you sure you need to get samples for each one?
Seeing this, Wang Yiyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, haha, Lao Zhu, you may have misunderstood, what do I need so many for, as long as two are enough.

Hehe, Xiao Wang, you surprised me just now.Old Zhu was stunned, he touched his face, and said, only two?I can make the decision, then you can choose by yourself.
