Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

She was stuck after a few words because she was stunned for a moment because the cool air in the room was in sharp contrast to the high temperature outside. "Director Ye, what's going on? There's actually..."

Ye Chuan smiled and said, "Sister, that's the kind of air conditioner that can keep the room at about 25 degrees Celsius. It's very comfortable to use in summer."

Han Lifen had been sweating profusely outside, but within a minute of entering the house, she suddenly stopped sweating and even felt a burst of coolness. "The air conditioner is amazing!"

Han Lifen remembered her purpose and said to Director Ye, "Director Ye, the Xiyong Electronics Factory in Beijing has not paid our commission for sales. Their staff just evaded the question. This has been the norm for the past few days. They immediately turned a deaf ear to the question of payment."

Ye Chuan was slightly surprised and asked, "How much commission is owed?"

"The total is 62 yuan. Although the amount is small, it was agreed upon in advance," Han Lifen responded.

Ye Chuan nodded, "What products are on sale at Xiyong Electronics Factory in our commercial center?"

"They are mainly radios, fans and a flashlight. They are not expensive and have good sales." Han Lifen added. "Starting today, remove all their products from the shelves and stop selling any products from Xiyong Electronics Factory. Leave the rest to me!" Ye Chuan gave a firm order.

Han Lifen agreed and left the office reluctantly.

If there was no work left to do, she would even like to stay a little longer and enjoy the time in the comfortable air-conditioned room.

As soon as she went out, she was almost pushed back by a wave of heat outside.

If there weren't such a strong contrast with air conditioning, perhaps the feeling wouldn't be so intense.

But now the temperature difference between inside and outside is so great that she cannot adapt in a short period of time.

Ye Chuan in the office had a stern face.

He was a little angry because the responsibility for the first sales commission was shirked.

He guessed that this might be a deliberate strategy of Xiyong Electronics Factory, so he tried to see how he could deal with it. After all, it would only be a few dozen dollars at most, so the impact would not be too big.

He picked up the phone and dialed directly to the supply chain department of Xiyong Electronics Factory.

A tired male voice answered the phone, seemingly slowed down by the hot weather. "Excuse me, is this Section Chief Wang Yifeng?" Ye Chuan said simply and clearly, without even a polite greeting. "I'm Wang Yifeng, what can I do for you?" The person on the other end of the phone asked cautiously after a brief moment of doubt.

This tone is usually used when asking questions to superiors. "Chief Wang, I'm Ye Chuan, the director of Luoguxiang Commercial District.

You have been in arrears for three days in paying our display stand fees and entry fees.

When do you plan to settle these accounts?" he continued. "Oh, it's Director Ye.

The situation is like this. Our factory leaders have some disputes about this. We need to hold a meeting to discuss it. I will notify you." Wang Yifeng said slowly. "Can it be settled before 4 pm?" Ye Chuan asked. "I'm afraid it can't be processed immediately. Although the amount is small, it must be taken seriously when it comes to money. We will treat it with caution." Wang Yifeng insisted on his position.

Ye Chuan didn't want to waste any more time on these excuses, so he was too lazy to respond and simply hung up the phone.

Wang Yifeng wanted to argue, but when he heard the busy tone, he was stunned.

He was so angry that he hung up the phone angrily, "What the hell, just leaving it hanging like this, do you think we can get the bill so easily?"

Ye Chuan didn't mind the other party's rogue behavior.

He picked up the phone again and looked for the contact information of the First Department Store. "Hello, Brother Wei? This is Ye Chuan!"

After the call was connected, Ye Chuan quickly gave his name. "It's my brother Ye Chuan. It's a rare call. What can I do for you?" Wei Dong asked calmly without much greeting. "Brother Wei, does the First Department Store and Xiyong Electronics Factory have any cooperation projects?" Ye Chuan asked directly.

Wei Dong recalled: "It is true. We had a counter on the third floor that cooperated with the Xiyong Electronics Factory, and we mainly sold radios, electric fans and flashlights produced by them."

"Brother Wei, can you help me with a small favor? Can you suspend the sale of their goods? Is that okay with you?" Wei Dong understood the sales model under the market economy. When he heard Ye Chuan's words, he realized that this guy must have had a conflict with Xiyong Electronics Factory.

However, this request was not a big deal for him.

Because the Xiyong factory is not large, he would hesitate to accept the request if it was the business of the first or third electronics factory of a large state-owned enterprise.

So Wei Dong said without hesitation: "That's easy. How long will it take?"

Ye Chuan thought for a moment and replied, "Let's stop selling it for two or three months, and then put the fans back on the shelves after the National Day holiday.

The other two products are not in use for the time being. Talk to them and deal with them slowly.”

Wei Dong immediately understood what he meant and said jokingly, "You are really ruthless. Fans are selling well right now. Aren't you trying to cut off their retreat?"

In response, Ye Chuan replied nonchalantly: "Don't even think about getting away with it if you lose your credibility.

Those who fail to plan for the long term always pay the price.”

After dealing with Wei Dong, Ye Chuan immediately called Xiao Junnian.

He is of the same age as Ye Chuan and they have similarities. Although they have known each other for a shorter time than Wei Dong, they have a good relationship.

Upon receiving such a request, Xiao Junnian agreed without hesitation.

After all, for a small manufacturer, no matter how hard it struggles, it can't compete with a big shopping mall. "No problem, it's just a small business." He thought it was reasonable for him to do so. After all, they didn't take a small cooperative seriously.

Sixty-plus dollars isn't a lot, but it adds up!

The key is that they don’t know Ye Chuan’s true identity.

He only knew that Ye Chuan was the director of a grassroots cooperative, but he didn't know that the other party was a senior official and enjoyed the treatment of a level 20 official.

If they knew this fact, even if General Manager Su was only treated as a Level 21 cadre, Xiyong Electronics Factory would not be willing to offend such a big shot who might have a deep background for such a small amount of money.

When Mr. Su from Xiyong Electronics Factory heard about this, he thought it was nothing unusual.

The authority of factories in this era far exceeds that of cooperatives.

Normally, suppliers are not subject to much control by end consumers.

A few days later, at the end of August, it was usually the busiest time for the Xiyong Electronics Factory.

Supermarkets and cooperatives will contact each other in advance to inquire about the purchase situation to ensure the supply in September.

But at lunch time, only a few cooperatives called to place orders, mainly for flashlights, while orders for other products were almost nonexistent.

This made Wang Yifeng a little confused.

After lunch, when his colleagues started to return to work, he called the department store's purchasing hotline.

The reply from the other end of the phone surprised him: Manager Wei notified that the shipment was temporarily suspended, but did not provide detailed reasons.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yifeng felt that his mind was stuck for a while.

He tried to dial the purchasing number of the Second Department Store again: "Hello, is this Section Chief Xiao?"

"I'm Xiao Junnian, who are you?"

"Hello, Chief Xiao, I am Wang Yifeng from Xiyong Electronics Factory."

When talking about his own factory, Xiao Junnian's words were obviously more cold: "Oh, what's up, Manager Wang?" Hearing the word "Xiyong", his attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before. "Chief Xiao, I want to discuss with you how much goods our department store needs to purchase in September? The peak season is coming, and after we receive your order, we will naturally give priority to shipping to you. After all, we have cooperated for many years and have a deep friendship."

"Chief Wang, we have no purchase plans for now.

Please sell the goods to the other party first! I have some other matters to attend to, so let's not talk about it for now." Having said that, Xiao Junnian decisively hung up the phone without waiting for Wang Yifeng's response.

Holding the receiver with a busy tone, Wang Yifeng looked confused.

Two consecutive setbacks made him more cautious.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yifeng decided to call the Third Department Store.

I just signed an order with them yesterday, but there is only a small demand for radios and flashlights, and no order for the hot-selling electric fans has been placed.

Due to the remote location and limited scale of the Third Department Store, Ye Chuan did not contact them.

During the on-site inspection, there were relevant leaders of the Third Department Store in the team who could speak.

But we should leave room for maneuver when doing things. How can we be too harsh?

The call was connected quickly, and a familiar voice came from the other end, it was Zhang Wei, the head of the supply department of the Third Department Store, who had a good relationship with Wang Yifeng: "Hello, Chief Wang.

I am Wang Yifeng from Xiyong Electronics Factory. "

"It's Section Chief Wang. Do you have any instructions?" Zhang Wei greeted with a smile.

Wang Yifeng felt relieved when he learned that the attitude was acceptable: "Chief Zhang, I noticed that you only ordered five radios and two hundred flashlights.

Why aren't electric fans mentioned in the sales list during this peak sales season? Electric fans are the hottest seller right now."

Although Xiyong Electronics Factory ships a large volume of flashlights, its profits are meager.

Zhang Wei lit a cigarette and said, "Oh, I understand what you mean.

A few days ago, the second electronics factory reduced the price of their products by 15% and guaranteed replacement within one year for non-human damage.

Now customers are more inclined to choose the second-tier electronics factory, and I am helpless.”

Hearing this, Wang Yifeng was very shocked: "Lower the price? And also offer replacement?"

For large enterprises like the Second Electronics Factory, the price advantage makes them unable to resist.

Xiyong is just a small factory and it was hard to get some quotas.

At this moment, Wang Yifeng felt like he was struck by lightning.

I hurried to the factory director's office to report.

The factory director consoled him, "Xiao Wang, this is a matter concerning the survival of our factory, and we must resolve it as soon as possible.

Go to department stores, the First Department Store, and the trade department, and try to supply goods whenever possible."

“Director Su, the commerce department seems to be in some trouble.

I just had a phone call with Director Ye Chuan, and we had a disagreement over the 60-yuan bill." Wang Yifeng looked embarrassed.

However, Director Su said firmly: "Xiao Wang, you must not be discouraged when you encounter obstacles. The livelihood of all the people in the factory depends on this. You must find a solution.

You are the head of the supply department, and it is within your job scope to handle such matters."

Despite a bitter smile in his heart, Wang Yifeng had no choice but to nod and accept the task.

After returning to the office to tidy up a bit, I rode my bike towards the First Department Store.
