Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 671 An Unpretentious Contest (Two in One)

The night of April 8th.

Fang Zhuo can't control the gossip, and can't control the accusations of others, he just firmly promotes the progress of cooperation by laughing at Yan Yan's drinking situation.

Of the eight domestic TV companies, five heads are still in Shencheng today. Although the other three have left, there are also vice presidents staying here. Their trip was more due to the last panel production line. However, just as the situation changed, I decided to see if there were any new changes.

Three home appliance chain companies, Suning and Five Star, have fought against Gome in Jinling. Yongle Electric is also facing pressure from Gome's new strategy and the pressure of competition in the entire industry. .

Unlike Gome, which is the number one in the market, Rhubarb stands at the pinnacle of this industry, so it looks at the threat of another Internet dimension, and makes a decision that it does not want to feed the tiger.

Suning, Five Star, and Paradise are at the back of the industry. In their eyes, they are still occupied by the number one goal. Even if E-buy has business competition, so what? Is that something that the second, third, and fourth need to consider? ?

Wait until you become the boss before talking about such a distant thing.

The main task now is - Gome falls, and everyone is full.

Therefore, this night, the TV company and the home appliance chain company really met each other under the circumstances of Gome's misfortune. The former was surprised that Mr. Fang really found more than just a Suning company to cooperate with, while the latter was shocked by Mr. Fang's hands. There is also a move from the TV company in it.

Suppliers have been suffering from Gome for a long time, and industry rivals are constantly being suppressed by Gome.

According to Fang Zhuo's speech at the banquet, this will be "a beautiful counterattack against Gome".

In addition to bringing together TV companies and Suning to cooperate with them, what E-buy will get is a large-scale Double Eleven promotion that combines many forces.

With the current size of e-buy, it is impossible to take much market share.

Therefore, the planned Double Eleven event will involve e-buy investing in large-scale publicity, and the orders will be digested by e-buy + Suning, Five Star, and Paradise together, with large-scale discounts and an impact on Gome.

In other words, E-buy wants fame + a small amount of market, while Suning, Five Star, and Yongle take more market share.

If there is no accident, the stock price of Gome will be affected when the Hong Kong stock market opens tomorrow Monday. No matter how long the general decline of Gome and Rhubarb lasts this time, everyone agrees that at least one vigorous promotional activity for Gome products will be completed.

Fang Zhuo believes that such a Double Eleven will be the test and growth of e-buy.

Of course, the test facing Gome may be even greater.

After the evening banquet was over, Fang Zhuo had just arrived at home and was thinking of making another call to Mr. Zhang Hongli of Deutsche Bank, but Mr. Zhang called in first.

"Mr. Fang, I have implemented the risk control exchanges and learning with ICBC and Bank of China." Zhang Hongli said the good news first, and then said, "However, President Wu, the capital president of ICBC, wants to meet you."

"See me? What do you see me for?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised.

Zhang Hongli thinks that he should describe this matter clearly: "Mr. Fang, when I talked about the Purmaster case with President Wu, I didn't mention you at all. After I talked about the Puma case, I talked about domestic affairs Retail development... Then, he offered to meet you."

Fang Zhuo turned his mind.

Zhang Hongli conjectured: "Maybe it's because of the moths in the home appliance chain industry in the past few days, and because of the good cooperation between Deutsche Bank and Bingxin, President Wu inadvertently thinks of you, Mr. Fang, you What do you think?"

Anyway, I didn't get a word from Mr. Fang.

"Blame me for being too conspicuous recently? The question is why did he see me? Did he say anything? So what?" Fang Zhuo's first reaction was that nothing good would happen.

"I don't know whether to be eye-catching or not, but when I have dinner with my friends occasionally, I hear that Mr. Fang has punished Mr. Huang." Zhang Hongli said, "I don't know why I saw you. It is also unclear whether it will promote the communication of the Puma case."

There must be a boost!
But it's all up to Mr. Fang to decide for himself.

Zhang Hongli believes that he should not give tendentious guidance at this time.

Immediately, he heard Mr. Fang's answer.

"Okay, since Mr. Zhang recommended it, then I'll see you." Fang Zhuo said after pondering for two seconds, "I happen to be inspecting the construction of e-buy's storage center this month, and I will meet this martial artist when I arrive in Beijing in the second half of the month." long."

Zhang Hongli expressed his attitude tactfully: "I am more confident in facilitating the risk management communication with ICBC."

Considering what he heard recently and the speed at which Mr. Fang promised, he felt that Mr. Fang really wanted Gome to die.

The two ended the call.

Fang Zhuo thought for a while about the purpose of ICBC's visit to Beijing, but he didn't have a clue. Could it be that he came to him to lend money to Yongke Real Estate?The two sides seem to be more connected on this matter.

Nothing to do, it's still early.

Fang Zhuo picked up his mobile phone and called his dear Deputy Director Zhao Yajiang to exchange information about the new situation in the retail industry.

It is said that Suning is willing to explain the situation and make more adjustments because of the communication between the home appliance chain enterprises and their suppliers. Everyone believes that the poor life of suppliers will affect the healthy development of the industry. Therefore, they can discuss with the higher authorities Talk openly and honestly about payment for goods.

Zhao Yajiang was very surprised by this, and asked directly: "Even if Suning wants to take the opportunity to compete with Gome, it won't kill itself, right?"

"Because Suning's 3-6 months accounts payable ratio is far lower than the ratio within 3 months, but according to the contact with the supplier, Gome's ratio is much higher." Fang Zhuo answered honestly, " I see that they sat down and calculated this matter, and the proportion of Gome in 3-6 months is likely to approach 40%.”

Zhao Yajiang was even more surprised: "They?"

"Well, Suning, Five Star, Yongle, Changhong, TCL, Konka, Meiling, etc." Fang Zhuo said simply.

Zhao Yajiang's scalp is a little tingly. Is this because Gome's competitors have united with some of their own suppliers?

Fang Zhuo continued to answer the deputy director's question: "Even if Suning adjusts the payment cycle, firstly, it is to prepare in advance, and secondly, the home appliance chain market can get back more profits, so everyone is willing to work together to promote the development of the industry."

How to eat is a very delicate issue.

Zhao Yajiang finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Fang, you and this country..."

He held back after speaking halfway, Mr. Fang and Gome really have a deep hatred, why is this...

But this should not be said by oneself.

Just look at two questions, whether there are problems in the industry and whether adjustments are needed.

"I have nothing to do with Gome, the main reason is that the supplier is not satisfied." Fang Zhuoyun said calmly, "Like Suning's Mr. Zhang, he has a similar opinion to me, why Gome can get extra competition by defaulting on the payment What about power?"

Zhao Yajiang regained his composure: "President Fang, since we are willing to build the industry together, we may have to talk face-to-face when our department studies and sees the time."

"Of course, of course, what materials are needed, please tell Zhao Si." Fang Zhuo said proactively.

Zhao Yajiang let out a "hmm", feeling more pity for Gome and Mr. Huang in his heart, why do you think you might provoke him?
Fang Zhuo ended his communication with the leader, and started the third phone call without stopping.

This call was not related to Gometai, but to Fan Xiong of the Anliang Chamber of Commerce.

"President Fan, is the Chamber of Commerce reliable?" Fang Zhuo asked directly.

Fan Xiong was taken aback, this is coming to life.

He thought about it carefully, and replied, "Mr. Fang, what kind do you want?"

"Those who can go to work on time will be placed in Yike's domestic security department." Fang Zhuo believes that it is necessary to improve his security level now.

In the past, there was a relatively high level of security in the places where people entered and exited, and the people they dealt with were relatively normal.

Now, it is appropriate to mention it.

Fan Xiong understood, and said: "There are clean and reliable people in the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Fang, no problem."

Fang Zhuo continued to ask: "Does the chamber of commerce have business in Europe?"

"No, we mainly have a certain influence on the east coast of the United States." Fan Xiong said politely, "However, the Chinese people in the world are one family, and the European side can also find friends."

Fang Zhuo pondered: "This is the second thing. Is there anyone who is willing to let their family members return to China for development? The Netherlands in Europe may need people in the future."

Fan Xiong was shocked, this is a big job.

Mr. Fang needs absolutely reliable people to do it, and his family members have to be in the country to rest assured.

He was silent for a while, then said after deliberation: "When the family returns home, I believe that Mr. Fang will not treat them badly, but I don't know what kind of business it is."

"It's not sure yet. It's purely a dispute in the commercial field and nothing else is involved." Fang Zhuo made a suggestion, "Since it is the Anliang Chamber of Commerce and not the Anliang Gang, you can try to do more business with the Chamber of Commerce."

Fan Xiong relaxed a bit, the business field?What do you think it is? Is this a trade secret or a patent that Mr. Fang needs?

He replied, "Okay, Mr. Fang, I'll arrange it."

"You may not be able to use it, you have to be willing, maybe it will take ten years." Fang Zhuo calculated the time, not sure how long it will be used, nor whether it will be used at all.

Fan Xiong became serious, the Anliang Chamber of Commerce is going to start business in the commercial field.

After Fang Zhuo finished the communication, he was not in a hurry for the two matters. The latter was considered idle and might never be used. Maybe the domestic lithography machine had a breakthrough.

After all, if you really want to set fire to other people's factories, you will feel uneasy.

Perhaps, this matter can also be referred to the leader, I don't know if it is suitable.

With such thoughts in mind, Fang Zhuo soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

On Monday, the Hong Kong stock market opened.

Not surprisingly, even though there was no news about Gome in the media, its stock price still fell 6.58%, and finally closed at 6.07 Hong Kong dollars, which was able to hold the 6 yuan mark.

However, Gome remained silent, neither denying market rumors nor making announcements.

If it continues like this, there is no doubt that its stock price will continue to fall.

Fang Zhuo did two things this day. He contacted his first hometown and his second hometown successively, reported and contacted the ice core business, and laid a foundation for himself.

No matter what rumors about yourself are out there, just keep doing things in style.

Being able to do things is the best label.

Of course, it would be even better if some inexplicable slander can be redeemed.

As the evening approached, Fang Zhuo planned to show his initiative as the vice president of the Shencheng Chamber of Commerce in the future, and provide some practical help to his peers.

With the development of the domestic economy, import and export trade is becoming more and more prosperous, especially since Shencheng has policies and geographical advantages.

And many companies are also facing unfamiliar legal issues, which is a relatively lacking experience of domestic counterparts.

Fang Zhuo is going to let Yike's legal department and the New York law firm, which has always cooperated, provide powerful help in the form of Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

In any case, this is what can really help companies, and I hope they can boast more about themselves.

When he called Qiu Lanhua and talked about his idea, he didn't expect to be ridiculed mercilessly.

"Mr. Fang's conscience found out? I thought you were obsessed with rectifying so-and-so recently." Qiu Lanhua said.

Fang Zhuo felt that words alone could not restore his reputation anyway.

Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts.

……

In the evening, as Gome's stock price changed, Fang Zhuo also received more specific news about Mr. Rhubarb.

However, there were many versions of the news, and he didn't know which version to believe. He only knew that no matter which version of the news seemed to be not worthy of his concern.

And, Gome stock may be temporarily suspended.

At ten o'clock, just as Fang Zhuo was examining Bingxin's business situation, an unfamiliar number from the capital lit up on his phone.

"Hi, hello." He pressed the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fang?" The voice of the caller was middle-aged, "I'm Director Liu Xiongfeng Liu from the umm office in Beijing. I'm calling this time to..."

Fang Zhuo frowned, guessing in his heart, but still interrupted: "Director Liu? Which office? I didn't hear clearly, please speak slowly."

For some reason, the director referred to his own job in a more general way.

Liu Xiongfeng had no choice but to apply for the position again.

"Oh, it seems that you haven't dealt with Director Liu before?" Fang Zhuo was not afraid of his duties.

Liu Xiongfeng found that the situation was different from what he had imagined, so he coughed: "Well, Mr. Fang, there is something I want to know about with you, about the home appliance chain industry, um, the relationship between Gome and you..."

For some reason, the director stumbled a bit when speaking.

Fang Zhuo knew what this person was here for, but the level of the conversation was questionable. He listened for a while and asked, "Director Liu, is there someone next to you? Why don't you let him talk to me directly."

Liu Xiongfeng heaved a sigh of relief, it was too much to ask for.

Soon, the phone really changed to another slightly younger voice.

"Mr. Fang, I haven't dealt with you before, but do you have a relationship with Gome..."

Fang Zhuo reminded: "Who are you?"

"Never mind who I am, now you are against Gome..." the young voice said.

Fang Zhuo insisted, "Who are you?"

The young voice still said: "Mr. Fang, you are too good at what you do. It makes people feel very uncomfortable..."

Fang Zhuo also said to himself: "Who are you?"

The young voice was a little annoyed: "Do you know this sentence?"

"What's your last name?" Fang Zhuo asked again.

The young voice was silent for a while, and then said: "Multiple friends have multiple paths, Mr. Fang, please do it yourself."

The call is over.

He didn't even report his name, and dragged an irrelevant director ahead of him.

You say multiple friends, the question is, friend, who are you?
This one obviously has a lot of concerns.

Fang Zhuo felt that this might be a related person behind the scenes, but because of this posture, it might be a young man in the opposition.

He didn't hesitate at all. He flipped through the address book and called a senior secretary. He didn't know it, but the leader's secretary must know it. It's fine if he didn't have this phone call. Since he found him, it's better to have a chat. .

Fang Zhuo said straightforwardly, quite in the intention of complaining.

The secretary who answered the phone on the other end was a little helpless. How can this Boss Fang be so troublesome?The last time I got that panel was just a punch, what kind of dispute is there now?

Why are you everywhere?
He complained in his heart, but remained patient on the surface. He had actually heard about this incident.

However, the secretary did not agree, but only said to help inquire.

The next day, when the secretary went to work, an application from a major project was submitted before he thought much about how to deal with the matter from Mr. Fang.

Ice Core applied for the construction of the second production line.

In principle, such a large project must be approved before it can be constructed, rather than just getting money.

But applications for ice cores will certainly not be blocked.

It's just that this time node...

Reminds me of last night's phone call.

The secretary was a little helpless, and he didn't complain or slander anymore. This party has already constructed all the occasions suitable for him to speak.

This matter is easy to say, and if you mention it in front of a suitable leader, it will probably stop.

Everyone keep it simple.

Do things that should be done, law enforcement that should be enforced, and junglers that should go to the jungle, don't hinder people who are serious about doing things.
