"Oh?" Xu Yi asked in surprise. ◎∑ Top ◎∑ Dian ◎∑ Xiao ◎∑ said, "What big trouble? Is there any bigger trouble than laying off more than 18,000 workers at once?"
Kennard glanced at Xu Yi with a rather resentful look.
"President, strictly speaking... this big trouble is really caused by this large-scale layoffs."
"What is it specifically? Tell me."
Kennard handed the report in his hand to Xu Yi: "This is the current order status of the Chamber of Commerce that I just calculated. Please take a look."
Xu Yi took it and took a look and found that the data on this report showed that the existing orders of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had declined slightly.
But this is also to be expected. After all, no matter how much advantages the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has over other magic machinery chambers of commerce, it is impossible to completely monopolize the entire magic machinery market.
Because the large-scale layoffs of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have inevitably greatly affected production capacity, many buyers who have already placed orders are even more unable to receive their goods on time.
Even though the quality and performance of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's products exceed those of other chambers of commerce in terms of magic machinery, many buyers still choose to order from other magic machinery chambers of commerce in order to obtain the magic machinery they need.
"Is there any problem with this?" Xu Yi asked Kennard in confusion.
Kennard smiled bitterly: "President, haven't you noticed? This is the order statistics we have now, but if you look at the time, you will find that in the past month, our chamber of commerce has received new orders The number of orders has dropped by nearly half compared to the same period last year. This means that many buyers have lost confidence in our chamber of commerce, which is a very serious problem. "
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He didn't look nervous.
"Losing confidence in us? That's not necessarily true. I think they just lost patience. As long as our chamber of commerce restores production capacity, I'm sure they will still turn around and order from our chamber of commerce again."
Kennard shook his head. He sighed: "Mr. President, it will take a lot of effort to regain the lost market, and the effect may not be good. You see, the order statistics show that we are now in the Kingdom of Luersun and the Principality of Mirando. As well as the markets in the Principality of Drake, as well as the three newly opened small principalities, there has been a considerable shrinkage. According to my statistics, the losses caused by the shrinkage of these markets alone have exceeded 2 million. Gold coins. In addition to the 3.26 million gold coins we paid as liquidated damages when we laid off more than 18,000 workers, our losses in this matter have exceeded the terrifying five million gold coins! "
Seeing the trace of resentment in Kennard's eyes, Xu Yi shrugged, thinking that as the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Kennard had such a big thing happen to the chamber of commerce, and such a serious loss, it was also No wonder he felt so stressed that he felt a little bit of resentment towards himself.
However, Xu Yi does not regret this decision.
After employing thunderbolt measures to fire more than 18,000 striking workers, the situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce quickly stabilized.
Workers in various factory workshops under the Chamber of Commerce. All returned to normal working condition.
Although the atmosphere was a little more solemn than before, it actually improved work efficiency.
Coupled with the put into use of a series of automatic magic machine tools developed under the leadership of Sancheli. The efficiency of all factories has been greatly improved.
Xu Yi believes that if the workers are given more time to adapt, the production efficiency of each factory floor will be much higher than before the more than 18,000 workers were laid off, which will in turn increase the overall production capacity of the chamber of commerce.
"Okay, in order to completely solve the problem, losses are inevitable. Rather than always delaying and letting this problem exist, it is better to solve it before it completely affects the entire chamber of commerce. Although this time our losses exceeded five One million gold coins, but for the positive effect that the comparator will have on the Chamber of Commerce after solving this problem, I think the five million gold coins are well worth the money spent." Xu Yizheng said.
Kennard was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
No matter how much he felt sad about the loss of the Chamber of Commerce, as the CEO in charge of administrative affairs, he actually knew better than Xu Yi how serious the problem behind this strike was.
Although the solution adopted by Xu Yi was too drastic, it was indeed the most thorough way to solve the problem.
After receiving the impact of Xu Yi's ruthless solution, the employees who now stay in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are extremely loyal to the Chamber of Commerce, and they are even more afraid to cause any more outrageous things.
In addition, Xu also proposed the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Workers' Union, which gave employees a formal way to put forward opinions to the chamber of commerce, effectively avoiding the possibility of another strike because of their opinions, and at the same time further enhancing the cohesion of employees of the chamber of commerce. .
It can be said that the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, compared with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before the general strike and large-scale layoffs, the overall operation is smoother and much more efficient.
As CEO, Kennard understands this very deeply.
So in fact, if we calculate it carefully, the real negative impact of these two incidents on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the loss of more than 5 million gold coins.
Although these losses are extremely serious for many other chambers of commerce, they are a disaster for many smaller chambers of commerce with less lucrative profits, and even for many first-class chambers of commerce, but for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, But it is not an unacceptable loss.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now been fully launched in several surrounding countries. Its products are distributed in almost every place in every country. It has cooperated with every country, and its revenue has been rising rapidly.
According to statistics, the monthly net profit of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce reached an astonishing 1.48 million gold coins last month, which has increased by half compared to 930,000 gold coins in January this year.
According to this trend, by the end of this year, the annual profit earned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will most likely reach or even exceed 15 million gold coins.
Therefore, although the loss of five million gold coins is still not small, it is completely within the tolerance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
What's more, these two things will mainly affect the temporary orders of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In the long run, as long as the production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is sufficient, then with the high quality and high performance of Xinfei brand magic machinery, it can sell as much as it produces. No matter how much, you don’t have to worry about sales at all, and naturally you don’t have to worry about profits.
So what really caused Kennard a big problem was that other buyers chose other brands of magic machines this time, and it would be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to capture this part of the market in the future.
"This is not a trouble. In fact... this is what I want to see." Xu Yi smiled. "I have been thinking about how to let other brands of magic machines enter new markets. Now that something like this has happened, other people have taken the initiative to turn their attention to other brands of magic machines, which has saved me a lot of effort."
Kennard couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Having worked with Xu Yi for so long, he certainly knew that Xu Yi's long-standing ideal was to spread the magic industry throughout the continent, and not just hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would occupy the entire continent.
For ordinary businessmen, it is naturally abhorrent to be robbed of their market, but in Xu Yi's view, this is actually something they like to see.
After thinking about it, Kennard did not dwell on this issue, but raised another question.
"Mr. Chairman, although you have no objection to the market being taken away, due to the impact of this incident, several countries have suspended their intention to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce. Even the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Ricardo have turned their attention to Other chambers of commerce plan to cooperate with other chambers of commerce in the field of magic machinery. You should pay attention to this?"
"Hmm... That's a problem. But the problem is not that they don't cooperate with our chamber of commerce, but that cooperation with other chambers of commerce may cause these two principalities to go the wrong way, wasting time, manpower and material resources, and may even lead to It would be bad if these two principalities are disgusted with the magic industry. "
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and continued: "In this way, we will investigate which chambers of commerce these two principalities will choose to cooperate. Then we will find these chambers of commerce and inform them of some of the standards we have set, hoping that they can strictly implement them. If they are unwilling, the consequences will be conceited."
Xu Yi's tone was very calm, but there was an unquestionable domineering tone in his words.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now occupies an absolute controlling position in the magic industry, so Xu Yi naturally has the confidence to say this.
Kennard didn't show any surprise and nodded in agreement.
"What about the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Ricardo? How should we respond?" Kennard asked again.
"Send someone to contact them and tell them that our chamber of commerce is willing to cooperate with them in magic machinery that other chambers of commerce cannot deal with." Xu Yi replied.
Kennard was startled: "President, what do you mean..."
Xu Yi nodded: "Yes. Regarding magic machine tools, our Chamber of Commerce is also willing to transfer some related technologies to cooperate with them."
"What about military magic machinery?" Kennard asked cautiously.
Xu Yi glanced at him: "What do you think?"
Seeing Xu Yi's eyes, Kennard let out a breath and felt relieved.
No matter how generous the president is, no matter how considerate of other chambers of commerce, no matter how much he considers promoting the magic industry to the entire continent as his ideal, he still has a bottom line and persistence.
Military magic machinery is a weapon uniquely owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and can be regarded as the trump card of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce becomes so powerful that no one can defeat it, it is best to keep this aspect firmly in your own hands. (To be continued...)
