When Li Jingping and Jiang Yueqin talked about Cheng Feiyang's Fu Long and the current unrest in Chengdu at home this Friday, they did not expect that as November passed and December began, an incident that could be said to be jaw-dropping in Chengdu's business community suddenly broke out.
At this time, many people realized that what they had seen before was a trick that led them astray. They also realized clearly that the company led by the old soldier who entered Chengdu was actually a group of wolves entering the Central Plains. They ran day and night, even if they were hungry, and they would even show weakness to the enemy and would not stop until they achieved their goal. Once they launched a general attack, it would be an extremely fierce attack...
The headquarters building of Chengdu Beituo Company, this towering building was built near the square of the Cultural Palace. At that time, it occupied an excellent piece of land in Chengdu. After its completion, it almost became a landmark building in the south.
At that time, it was the dream of many college graduates. In the 1990s, this kind of Sino-foreign joint venture was a typical top-ranked foreign company among the top 500. At that time, ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises and civil servants only earned a few hundred yuan, but foreign companies like Betuo were almost ten times that salary. If someone was a small manager in Betuo and earned 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a year, he was simply a representative of making a living and a successful person. The kind of person that thousands of people admired and envied, and if he happened to be a single young man, I don’t know how many people would come to him to plead for their daughters.
As one of the earliest foreign companies to enter China, Beto made a lot of money by importing machines during the era of the Seven Countries and Eight Systems. Even after the reform of the telecommunications industry, Beto, which already had a huge R&D capacity in France, has always adapted to the changes of the times in China and has always remained one of the mainstream companies. In the southwest, it occupies the largest market.
Therefore, if Fulong wants to make a breakthrough in the southwest, Beituo is an insurmountable mountain and a solid city.
It is lunchtime in the Beituo Building, but the cafeteria is full of solemnity. Beituo has strict barriers between the upper and lower levels. Employees at the bottom of the pyramid look at upper-level managers and even general managers as if they were looking at another world. Ordinary employees will never get a glimpse into the glamorous lives of those high-ranking executives. Beituo has also been implementing high-pressure management. The disciplinary department has issued more than 100 rules that restrict employees in every aspect.
Now, some people are talking to each other during the meal time. At the Chengdu headquarters, it seems that there is a big problem with the collection of funds at the end of the year. It is said that at the high-level meeting, President Wu Zhishan slammed the table and issued a military order to each project department... Now many people are complaining. They think it is a strategic problem of Wu Zhishan. He wanted to get rich overnight. Faced with the competitive threat of Fulong, he lost his composure and wanted to blindly snatch customers. As a result, the bitter fruit came. The collection rate at the end of the year fell drastically, and the senior management was anxious. Although there is still money on the books and risk reserves, Beituo, which has not fought this kind of battle for a long time, never thought that the collection rate problem would break out in a concentrated manner, causing the capital chain plan to be disrupted. Now many of Beituo's planned projects on the thread will be affected, which will also directly affect the evaluation and perception of Chengdu Beituo by the head office.
You must know that the top executives of Betuo are now fighting openly and secretly, and the struggle is fierce. Chengdu Betuo has long been under surveillance, and if this continues, it is very likely that the top board of directors will be furious.
In the president's office, Wang Ligang burst into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw Wu Zhishan, who looked haggard, sitting on a chair with a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him.
He stayed in Europe for a week, in charge of the business there, but actually all the work was handed over to his subordinates, while he was having a wild time with his lover, a little-known model, spending lavishly in Amsterdam and having sex in the cabin of a yacht. After getting the news, he woke up in shock and flew back to Chengdu. He rushed into Wu Zhishan's president's office as soon as he got off the plane.
"Old Wu, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?"
Wu Zhishan then looked at Wang Ligang. His eyes were sunken, and it was obvious that he had not slept well in the past two days.
"Too cruel! Cheng Feiyang is too cruel! I was wondering why we fought so smoothly at that time, look..." Wu Zhishan stretched out his fingers and weakly knocked on the report books on the table.
Wang Ligang walked forward, opened it, and saw papers falling all over the table. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. "These are some of our big orders... How could there be a dispute during the process?!"
"Yeah, these are all established companies. We would rather give up our profits, or even make a loss, to win customers from Fulong... But who the hell knows, we made concessions again and again, and even gave them countless preferential conditions to win over customers. Three months later, after the equipment produced according to their requirements arrived, they couldn't even pay the advance payment and proposed to barter... They are coal miners, what the hell do I want those coals for? Can I sell them? Even if I can sell them, this country has overcapacity this year, and prices have been falling. This wave of decline will continue for at least one or two years. If I hold on to them, I will lose money..."
Wu Zhishan lit another cigarette with trembling hands, "Look, look... All the customers who can't get their money back are like this... Cheng Feiyang set a trap for us, damn it, why didn't I come to my senses at that time! What are our investigators for... It's rotten, all rotten..."
Wang Ligang was shocked as he read the reports one by one.
Their frontline staff are now urging people to pay everywhere. Some of them even delivered the goods to the other party when the delivery was scheduled, but the other party couldn't pay or didn't have enough money. There were conflicts between the two sides, and some were even injured...
What a mess!
Wang Ligang felt like his chest was tearing as he spoke, "How much money have we invested in this...?"
Wu Zhishan was heartbroken. "Two hundred and thirty million orders! Half of the sales plan for the whole year next year! I caused such a huge loss..."
Wang Ligang's head buzzed. He stared at Wu Zhishan, feeling that he was out of his mind. "Old Wu, didn't you agree on the gaming subsidy? We agreed that as long as we win the customer, we will spend a sum of money in the short term, but we will actually earn the future market share. We agreed that we will eat the meat and drink the soup, and Cheng Feiyang will only be left with the scraps and water..."
"I was misled..." Wu Zhishan put out the cigarette butt that had been piled up into the ashtray after a few puffs, and said with enlightenment, "Cheng Feiyang anticipated our strategy and has been leading us by the nose since the beginning... They deliberately fought with us over these low-quality customers... Do you know what's the most terrifying thing... We didn't expect what kind of enemy we would have to deal with..."
“Their intelligence acquisition capabilities and the competitiveness they have gained from the surrounding counties far exceed those of us who are pampered in Beituo… They not only know the situation of the opposing companies, but also analyze their future industry trends and whether they have the ability to repay all the payments… They also know which companies are planning to default on payments…” Wu Zhishan’s eyes widened, staring at the window, where the sky above Chengdu was showing the approaching winter.
"They also know us! What is our bottom line for quotation? So they push our red line, squeeze out our profits, and bargain our losses to the extreme, and then let us think that we have won the order and the market... But in fact, this is a noose... From the beginning, they have been eating us hard!"
"I, Wu Zhishan... was eaten to death!"
Wu Zhishan looked at Wang Ligang with a hollow look in his eyes, a kind of sadness that could not be stopped, "The most important thing is that we will be completely caught up in this order dispute in the future. We will not be able to recover for at least a month in the future, and we can only watch Cheng Feiyang and them... "
"Attack the city and plunder the land."
"How cruel..."
