Yin Xiu didn't know yet about the situation on Yin Zhaowu and the Yin family. After leaving Yinhai University, he wandered around for a while, and didn't return to the company until it was almost time to go to work in the afternoon.
But just after returning to the company, Yin Xiu saw Ji Xueqing's face seemed a little ugly.
"What's wrong, Xueqing?"
Yin Xiu was a little confused. Could something have happened? Otherwise, everything was going fine in the morning, but why suddenly Ji Xueqing's face became obviously sullen and gloomy.
Ji Xueqing's face brightened when she saw it was Yin Xiu. She glanced at the other people in the company who were chatting in low voices in groups of two and three, and said, "Follow me to the office first."
It's still a few minutes before work time.
Hearing this, Yin Xiu nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."
It was obvious that something was really going on, and it was something that was not convenient for others to know. It doesn't seem to be that easy to solve.
The two walked into the office and Ji Xueqing closed the door directly.
"Xueqing, what's wrong? What happened? Weren't you fine this morning?"
Yin Xiu asked.
Ji Xueqing asked Yin Xiu to sit down first. She also walked to the desk and sat down. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In the morning, not long after you asked for leave, Lanxiang Daily Chemical Company called me. , saying that they want to terminate our agency contract and order us to terminate the sales of Lanxiang skin care products within five days. As for the goods in stock, they will take back all the original prices... "
Yin Xiu was shocked when he heard this.
The 'Lanxiang Daily Chemical Company' that Ji Xueqing refers to is the second-tier cosmetics product manufacturing company that she represents.
Now that the other party suddenly wants to terminate the agency contract, this is tantamount to "throwing the fire under the cauldron" and immediately removes Ji Xueqing's company's products.
If Ji Xueqing cannot find other products to replace her in the short term, then her company will no longer need to continue operating.
"How long was the agency contract you signed with them? Do you know the reason why they wanted to take back the agency rights and terminate the contract so suddenly?"
Yin Xiu asked.
Ji Xueqing shook her head and said: "The other party didn't say the specific reason, but just mentioned it in a vague way. It seems that we have offended someone, and someone caused a stumbling block, so Lanxiang Daily Chemical terminated the contract early. The original contract period There’s still a year and a half left.”
"Have you offended someone?" Yin Xiu frowned.
At this time, Ji Xueqing said again: "I have some suspicions that it was Li Mingwei who did it. I have been an agent for Lanxiang Daily Chemical products for more than a year. Even if I have troubles with some people, it is not considered to have offended people, and I would not say that I would do this. Targeting my small agency."
"Besides, it is not something that ordinary people can do if they have the ability to influence Lanxiang Daily Chemical and make the other party terminate the contract early regardless of breach of contract compensation. After thinking about it, the most likely one is Li Mingwei."
Slowing down a little, Ji Xueqing continued: "First of all, he and I had a deep grudge that day. With Li Mingwei's character, he definitely couldn't swallow it. Even if your intimidation that day made him dare not openly threaten our personal safety, No matter how it is, it is still very possible that he will use some connections to target my company through commercial means."
"In addition, Li Mingwei's family background can indeed achieve this. As far as I know, Li Mingwei's father is the chairman of the 'Dingli Group'. The assets of Dingli Group are valued at more than 10 billion, and it is a family-owned company with strong strength. He has a wide network of contacts. If Li Mingwei uses some of his connections with Dingli Group, Lanxiang Daily Chemical really has no reason not to give him face."
"After all, for Lanxiang Daily Chemical, we are just a small agent and insignificant. Even if it is a breach of contract, the compensation will not be much... "
Yin Xiu couldn't help but nod after hearing Ji Xueqing's explanation. If Ji Xueqing really hadn't offended anyone else, then Li Mingwei was most likely responsible for this matter.
The other party used such unflattering business methods to deal with Ji Xueqing's company. It was really hard for Yin Xiu to do anything to the other party.
Of course, Yin Xiu could also directly teach the other party a lesson regardless. But this actually means little to Ji Xueqing.
Now that Lanxiang Daily Chemical has decided to break the contract and terminate the contract, based on Yin Xiu's understanding of Ji Xueqing, although Ji Xueqing looks a little weak on the surface, she is actually very proud and strong in her heart. Based on her personality, she may not accept any more relationships with Lanxiang. Japanese chemical cooperation.
"Then what are your plans now? How much compensation will Lanxiang Daily Chemical give you for breach of contract?" Yin Xiu asked after pondering for a moment.
Ji Xueqing sighed softly and said: "In order to obtain the agency rights of Lanxiang Daily Chemicals, the other party's liquidated damages were not set very high when signing the contract. This time they only have to pay more than 300,000 yuan for breach of contract. It’s just liquidated damages. It’s not worth mentioning at all.”
"As for future plans..."
Ji Xueqing was silent for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "Originally, I started this company because I wanted to make a career on my own and prove myself. But now... it has become like this. It has just started to improve. No abort.”
"But I'm very unwilling! I don't want to just accept failure, and then...then I can't even control my future destiny."
Speaking of this, Ji Xueqing's face was full of unwillingness, and then her face suddenly became extremely determined. She gritted her teeth and said: "No matter what, I will try my best to hold on. Since Lanxiang Daily Chemicals wants to terminate the contract, then I will find another daily chemical company. , and represent another brand. With the market and sales channels developed by the company over the past year, I believe that as long as the quality of the products we represent passes the standard, I will definitely be able to do it!"
Yin Xiu could hear that there was something in Ji Xueqing's words.
However, he had no intention of asking any more questions. He looked at Ji Xueqing opposite and was silent for a while.
After all, Ji Xueqing should be his closest friend after returning to Earth. His contact with Gu Shuyao was far inferior to that of Ji Xueqing.
'Forget it, just help her. It seems like she has some difficulties, but she can still be considered a friend. '
Yin Xiu said secretly in his heart.
Then, he finally spoke, "Xue Qing, let me ask you a question."
Seeing Yin Xiu's solemn expression, Ji Xueqing nodded seriously and said, "Well, you can ask."
"Do you plan to continue doing cosmetics business in the future?" Yin Xiu asked.
Ji Xueqing seemed to have noticed something about Yin Xiu's intention, smiled bitterly, and said: "The only thing I am familiar with is makeup products. As for how to use other products, I am still confused. Do it with familiarity, not with rawness. This is all we can do for the time being.”
After a pause, Ji Xueqing added: "I also know that it is difficult to make any big progress as an agent. But there is no way. At present, my funds are limited, and there are no more channels and resources to use. The ones I am more familiar with are only I have only been working in the cosmetics industry for more than a year. If I were to make other products now, it would take me a long time to get familiar with them. Even the people under me are the same."
"Um."
Yin Xiu nodded lightly and said: "It's good to make cosmetics. During this time, I have also learned a little about the cosmetics industry. The profits of this industry are very high. As everyone's consumption power increases, the cosmetics industry can be said to be an enduring industry." The industry has a bright future.”
"However, as you just said, it is difficult to achieve great development if you are just an agent. Especially in something like this, it is easy to be blocked by others and get stuck."
"So, what I mean is... have you ever thought about starting your own brand and making products that are entirely your own?"
