Back to the golden age

"Since you meet, don't rush away, come, come, smoke a cigarette and chat for a while." He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over. Zheng Guoyuan's cigarettes are much better than Jiang Youxing's. The hospitality cigarettes are actually Shanghai brand. But it is a Class A smoke comparable to Peony.

Pulling Jiang Youxing aside, the two came to a shaded place under a tree near the wall.You can't chat under the sun in this hot weather, right?Otherwise, after a few minutes, it will not be dried into meat?

After lighting a cigarette, Zheng Guoyuan took a meaningful look at Jiang Youxing and asked, "Old Jiang, are you here today to replenish the grain and oil company?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Youxing blurted out in surprise, he knew he was a bad dish as soon as he said this, why didn't he have a door to say what was in his heart directly.

"You still need to guess?" Zheng Guoyuan smiled wryly, and pointed at himself, "What do you think I'm here for?"

"Have you not……?"

Zheng Guoyuan nodded and sighed: "This year is really a hell, the sales volume this summer is not as good as before, so I can't sit still in the office, so I just come out for a run. By the way, I haven't gone to the supply and marketing department yet. Let's see you come out from there, how did the talk go?"

"This..." Jiang Youxing hesitated for a while. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to tell Zheng Guoyuan the truth. He is not stupid. The market is so big. If the sales of the products in his factory are not good this year, there must be good sales. manufacturers.

Although Zheng Guoyuan also said that the soda sales of their factory are not good, can this kind of words be believed?Regardless of how much younger Zheng Guoyuan is than Jiang Youxing, this old boy has a lot of twists and turns in his stomach, and I have to be wary of him after dealing with him for many years.

Besides, Zhao Liqiang made a list for himself in the supply and marketing department just now, and also agreed to say hello to his subordinates.In this way, it is equivalent to poaching the corners of other soda manufacturers. If their own sales go up, Zheng Guoyuan's sales will definitely go down. This is the addition and subtraction that elementary school students know.

"What? Still guarding against me?" Seeing the change in Jiang Youxing's expression, Zheng Guoyuan understood what he was thinking as soon as he changed his mind. After a little thought, he said, "We've been brothers for so many years. Is it necessary? Let's talk , It’s useless even if you can handle the supply and marketing department, I know Zhao Liqiang very well, the most he can do is to order you a little more for the sake of face, but the problem is that it’s useless if the goods can’t be sold.”

"No use? How is this possible!"

"What? You think it's impossible?" Seeing Jiang Youxing's unbelieving expression, Zheng Guoyuan asked back: "You didn't even do your homework when you came, did you?"

"Homework? What homework?" Jiang Youxing asked doubtfully.

"You, you, I really don't know how you became the director of the factory. You went directly to the supply and marketing department without doing any homework?" Zheng Guoyuan was a little speechless, and reached out his hand and nodded at him.

"I said, can you just speak up if you have something to say? I'm not like you who are full of twists and turns. It's not like you don't know how straight I am." Jiang Youxing was very displeased.

"I came out of the factory at 08:30 this morning. Our factory is much closer to your side, isn't it?"

Jiang Youxing nodded, and at the same time thought about it!It is already 10:30 now, if Zheng Guoyuan leaves the house at 08:30, then you don’t even need 10 minutes to get here, you should be here by nine o’clock.

But I arrived at 09:30, chatted with Zhao Liqiang for nearly an hour in the supply and marketing department, and came out just after finishing my work.He bumped into Zheng Guoyuan right after he left the house. According to the time calculation, it shouldn't have happened. Zheng Guoyuan should have arrived earlier than himself.

"Responsive?" Seeing Jiang Youxing's expression change, Zheng Guoyuan asked, and solved the mystery before he could answer: "I didn't come here first, I went to the delivery point and the warehouse first, and went to the warehouse. Stayed there for an hour before coming here."

Hearing this explanation, Jiang Youxing suddenly realized, but what does this have to do with himself?Could it be that what Zheng Guoyuan meant by saying this was to tell himself that it was because he was delayed there that he made it impossible for him to get there first?But who can blame this?Who told him not to come earlier?

Thinking of this, Jiang Youxing couldn't help but feel a little proud. It was such a coincidence that he had negotiated with Zhao Liqiang before Zheng Guoyuan, and even opened the purchase order.It would be troublesome if the old boy Zheng Guoyuan was ahead of him. The old boy Zheng Guoyuan was much more eloquent than himself. If he succeeded first, he might have nothing to do with himself.

"Do you know what I learned when I went to the delivery point and the warehouse?" Zheng Guoyuan continued to ask.

"Go ahead, what else can I learn." Jiang Youxing really didn't want to say anything more to Zheng Guoyuan, this old boy was so mysterious that there was nothing wrong with him, maybe he was just talking about himself.

right!It must be like this, this old boy has always played tricks and tricks, and I have suffered a few secret losses in his hands before, if I know that I have a purchase order in my pocket, maybe I will make some crooked ideas.

Thinking of this, Jiang Youxing raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and suddenly pretended to exclaim, saying that he almost forgot that there were important things in the factory, so he hurriedly greeted Zheng Guoyuan and said that he was really not free today, what to talk about later If Zheng Guoyuan didn't give Zheng Guoyuan a chance to continue talking, he turned around and ran towards his bicycle, took out the key to unlock the car, and quickly rode on the car without looking like a man in his 50s. ran away.

After riding out of the compound, Jiang Youxing didn't go in the direction of the factory, but went directly across the road to another place. At this moment, he thought in his heart that he had to go to the other two companies immediately before Zheng Guoyuan. Just like what I communicated with Zhao Liqiang just now, I will strive to get all the purchase orders of the three companies today.

Opening his mouth in astonishment and watching Jiang Youxing's back disappearing at the gate of the compound, Zheng Guoyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He just wanted to exchange information with Jiang Youxing, telling him the results of his visit to the delivery point and warehouse today.Unexpectedly, before he had time to say this, the old guy Jiang Youxing ran away like this, and caught him off guard like a god of avoiding plague.

"This old guy! It's really... really..."

Zheng Guoyuan doesn't know how to comment on Jiang Youxing, is it necessary to be so anxious?Can't even afford to delay a few words?Obviously he was guarding against himself!

Besides, although I have said Jiang Youxing a few things before, it was all work, and I was thinking about the interests of my factory.Isn't it right to do your own thing well at work?Whether it is public or private, Zheng Guoyuan is not a real tiger, so it is necessary to be wary of him?

Shaking his head, Zheng Guoyuan let out a long sigh, and after thinking about it, he ignored Jiang Youxing for the time being. Anyway, he really meant well today, but the key person didn't appreciate it.

Now that Jiang Youxing was gone, Zheng Guoyuan continued with his own business. He threw the butt of his cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, and walked quickly towards the office building.

About half an hour later, Zheng Guoyuan left Zhao Liqiang's office. Unlike Jiang Youxing, he did not get the purchase order from Zhao Liqiang.But for Zheng Guoyuan, he came here today to find Zhao Liqiang. He didn't pay too much attention to whether the purchase order was not the purchase order, but came with other purposes, and now this purpose has been achieved.

Riding on his bicycle, Zheng Guoyuan went straight back to his factory from the grain and oil company.

It happened to be lunch time when I returned to the factory. I took a bowl in the office and went to the cafeteria downstairs to get some food. After filling the food, Zheng Guoyuan went straight back to his office. He was just sitting down and was about to eat when there was a knock on the office door. .

"Factory Director, you are back." Entering the door, the person who came was Liu De, the deputy director of the factory. Both Youmin Food Factory and Quanlin Food Factory are small state-owned enterprises. The factory is fully equipped, so both Jiang Youxing and Zheng Guoyuan are the factory director and secretary.

"Old Liu, have you eaten yet?" Zheng Guoyuan asked when he looked up to see Liu De.

"Just finished eating..." Subconsciously said something, seeing the untouched bowl in front of Zheng Guoyuan, Liu De quickly apologized: "You haven't eaten yet, you eat first, I will come back later Looking for you."

"Well, how about it, come over in half an hour, by the way, call Lao Xiao from the supply and marketing department, and the three of us will have a meeting."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to him right now." Liu De repeatedly nodded and exited the office and walked to the door.

After Liu De left, Zheng Guoyuan picked up the fast food and started eating. He finished eating in a short time. After eating, he went to the toilet in the corridor to wash up, and returned to the office to soak himself. After drinking a cup of tea, I sat down and lit another cigarette. Liu De and Xiao Jie from the supply and marketing department arrived after just a few sips.

"Find a place to sit by yourself." Without getting up, she raised her hand and pointed to the side.

Liu De and Xiao Jie found a seat and sat down. As soon as they sat down, Liu De couldn't wait to ask Zheng Guoyuan about his visit to the grain and oil company today.

"The situation is not very good." Zheng Guoyuan sighed and shook his head.

"Is this guy Zhao Liqiang putting on airs? This guy is not a thing anymore, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger every year. The last time I went there, this kid just..." Xiao Qiang was counting on Zhao Liqiang, and before he finished speaking, he was dismissed Zheng Guoyuan interrupted.

"Needless to say about this matter, I only found out that this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Liqiang when I went there today. I planned to go to fruit and department stores again when I went out, but after thinking about it, I still didn't go."

"Factory director..." As soon as these words came out, Liu De and Xiao Qiang were stunned, and for a while they couldn't understand Zheng Guoyuan's intention.

"I asked you to come here to talk about this." Zheng Guoyuan didn't go around in circles, and said straightforwardly: "Today, I went to the delivery point and warehouse of the grain and oil company first, and then went to the street for a walk..."

Following Zheng Guoyuan's explanation, they finally understood the situation.

Like Jiang Youxing, the sales of soda at Tranlin Food Factory have been declining since last month. Although it is the peak season, the sales of soda are less than one-third of previous years. Compared with Jiang Youxing's Although it is slightly better, it is also a sharp drop for Tranlin Food Factory.

As a soft drink manufacturer, the year-round profit depends on the peak season sales in just a few months. If the sales in the peak season fail to meet the target, then the company will suffer losses in one year, which will directly affect the safety of all employees. direct benefit.

The sharp drop in sales caught Zheng Guoyuan's attention. At first, he had the same idea as Jiang Youxing, thinking that other companies had opened up the internal relationship of the three major companies, thereby reducing their share.After all, not only the two companies are involved in soda production in Jinling, but several companies, large and small. The cake is only this big. If the sales of one of them are given special attention, the others there will inevitably be affected.

This kind of situation has not happened before, even Zheng Guoyuan himself has done this kind of thing.So at the beginning, he asked the supply and marketing department to establish a good relationship with each company, trying to restore the normal share.But with the passage of time, instead of getting better, the situation got worse and worse. Now Zheng Guoyuan couldn't sit still.

Today, Zheng Guoyuan and Jiang Youxing went to solve the problem, but Zheng Guoyuan and Jiang Youxing were different. He didn't go to Zhao Liqiang immediately, but went to the delivery point and the warehouse, and chatted with the staff there. chat.

Compared with Jiang Youxing, who is straightforward, Zheng Guoyuan's mind is much more delicate, and he considers problems from a deeper angle.He believes that no matter what the situation is, it is the key to figure out where the problem is now, so he will take this method to find out first.

I don't know if I don't touch it, but I'm startled when I touch it.

Zheng Guoyuan found out that his guess was completely wrong after figuring it out. There was no special manufacturer who directly settled the internal affairs of the three major companies, prompting the soda sales of the three major companies to tilt towards each other and thus affecting their factories.

In fact, the overall soda sales of the grain and oil company this year are very poor. There are three brands of soda sold by the grain and oil company, two of which are produced by Jiang Youxing and Zheng Guoyuan, and the other is also an old factory in the same industry. is to understand.

The three brands of soda have been sold through the same channels for many years, and everyone's sales share is similar, but this year, for some reason, the shipments have dropped sharply, and the sharp drop has been unreasonable.

It is said that the customers who come to buy goods basically don't buy soda now, and even if they do, the quantity is very small. As for why this happens, the delivery point and the warehouse are not clear.

Faced with this answer, Zheng Guoyuan is also confused. What kind of situation is this?In order to understand the reason, he didn't leave right away, but stayed at the delivery point.

After nine o'clock, the delivery point came to customers to purchase goods one after another. Zheng Guoyuan paid attention to the goods of these customers. When he found that some customers who obviously bought food products did not take drinks, Zheng Guoyuan pretended to be a merchant and looked for opportunities to strike up a conversation with them. Passed a cigarette and said a few good words, with his familiarity, cheekiness and eloquent mouth, it didn't take much effort to figure out the ins and outs.

After he figured it out, Zheng Guoyuan immediately rode his bicycle to a few nearby areas. When he was sure that what he was told was true, Zheng Guoyuan understood the real reason for the decline in beverage sales.

The worried Zheng Guoyuan then went to the grain and oil company, but he didn't go to the grain and oil company to ask for replenishment and sales, but to see from the side whether the supply and marketing department of the grain and oil company knew about it.I didn't expect to run into Jiang Youxing who had just come out of it as soon as the front foot reached the back foot. Originally, Zheng Guoyuan wanted to tell Jiang Youxing the news he had inquired about today. What medicine, before he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.
