Twenty Years in Business

Chapter 1150 Downward

On Monday, at the end of September, it was the time for the routine quarterly summary meeting.

In the large conference room of Sushi Electric Appliances, all the middle and senior management of the company gathered here.

Zhang Xiaobai and Su Jiaxing sat right above.

Su Jiaxing is now the deputy general manager and still serves as the sales manager. People who know the truth know that the chairman will not stay in Sushi Electric Appliances for a long time, so the next chairman must be Su Jiaxing.

Su Jiaxing first made a sales report for the third quarter.

The third quarter of each year is the peak sales period. The most important factor is the sales driven by air conditioning in summer, and the golden September and silver October occupy one of the September months.

The report was very detailed and mentioned various data, but it can be summarized in one sentence.

The sales volume in the third quarter increased by 40% compared with the second quarter.

After speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

After the sales manager finished his report, it was the turn of the director of the finance department.

Wang Qingyuan, the director of the finance department of Sushi Electric Appliances, is in his early fifties. He has worked in the company for 30 years and now holds the financial power.

The director of the finance department made a financial report.

Sales is one thing. Sometimes, more sales does not mean more profits. The most important data for a company is still the financial report.

He talked about various data again, and finally summarized it in one sentence. The profit in the third quarter increased by 45% compared with the second quarter.

A gratifying achievement.

Then it was the turn of the sales managers of each region to speak.

Su's Electric Appliances is still a sales company after all, and sales account for a large proportion.

The heads of other departments also talked about their respective situations, which were concise and did not take too long.

Finally, it was the chairman's turn to make a closing statement.

Although he was not very good at socializing, Zhang Xiaobai had a strong talent for language, especially the ability to inspire people and stir emotions.

He didn't say much, only five minutes, and the people in the audience seemed to be a small universe exploding, and they were immediately full of energy.

Finally, the quarterly meeting ended with excitement.

It took half a day.

As soon as Zhang Xiaobai returned to the office, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Qingyuan, the head of the Finance Department, walked in.

Zhang Xiaobai respected Wang Qingyuan very much. Last time, Wang Qingyuan played a great role in the price war with Yuan to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. It was because of his support that the war went so smoothly.

Zhang Xiaobai once discussed this person with his father-in-law and concluded that Wang Qingyuan was very capable, kind and loyal.

So Zhang Xiaobai trusted him very much.

Wang Qingyuan did not smoke. Zhang Xiaobai poured a glass of water and said with a smile: "Minister Wang, is there anything?"

There was no polite greeting. Minister Wang would not visit unless there was nothing wrong, so he got straight to the point.

Wang Qingyuan took a sip of water and said: "Chairman! When I made the financial report just now, I only reported good news and not bad news. There were some things I didn't say."

Zhang Xiaobai frowned and asked: "What's the matter?"

The quarterly summary meeting was held more than once or twice. Every time, the process and content were the same, and no omissions were found.

Wang Qingyuan put down the water cup, looked at Zhang Xiaobai and said: "I didn't mention the data compared with the same period last year in this financial report!"

This sentence reminded Zhang Xiaobai, and suddenly he had a bad premonition, and asked: "How much lower is the profit this quarter than the same period last year?"

The reduction is inevitable, because there is a strong opponent, it depends on the proportion.

Now think about it, he didn't mention it last quarter either.

Wang Qingyuan said: "Last quarter, it was 20% lower than last year, and this quarter was 30% lower."

In doing business, you have to compare not only horizontally, but also vertically, in order to get an accurate situation.

After such a comparison, Zhang Xiaobai took a breath.

This data can only show one thing, that the market of Su's Electric Appliances is being eaten away by Yuan's Electric Appliances bit by bit.

Zhang Xiaobai said, "There was Yuanshi Electric at this time last year, but it was not mature enough. It seems that they are developing better and better."

Wang Qingyuan nodded gently and said, "Yes, so I didn't mention this data, but if I don't mention it, there will definitely be people comparing it."

"Mr. Zhang, we have to think of a way. If it continues like this, Sushi Electric will no longer be in power!"

Zhang Xiaobai said solemnly, "Brother Wang, thank you for your trouble!"

This is the first time Zhang Xiaobai called Wang Qingyuan Brother Wang. He used to call him by his position.

Wang Qingyuan was a little flattered and said excitedly, "Chairman, please don't say that. I am an employee of Sushi Electric. Naturally, I will think about the company. This is a matter of course."

Wang Qingyuan withdrew after reminding him.

Zhang Xiaobai frowned and thought, looking for the problem. At noon, he made a bowl of instant noodles in the office.

Instant noodles are always disgusting. I miss them a little after not eating them for a long time.

These are all bad habits I developed when I was in school.

Tian Ye, the lazy man, is used to sleeping late. If he can't make it in time for breakfast, he will eat convenient food. He buys boxes and piles them under the bed.

In the dormitory 301, there is no private property, it belongs to everyone.

So Zhang Xiaobai also eats a lot.

Zhang Xiaobai is used to taking a nap for 20 minutes at noon. He just closes his eyes and rests, but does not fall asleep. It is very effective.

After taking a nap, Zhang Xiaobai called Su Jiaxing and asked him to come over.

Su Jiaxing's office was not far away, and he arrived quickly. He looked like he was still sleepy and was smoking a cigarette to refresh himself.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Jiaxing asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaobai talked about what happened in the morning.

Su Jiaxing said: "I know this situation. I don't need to look at the financial statements. I can see it from my sales statements. Even though this quarter has increased so much compared to the previous quarter, overall, Su's current situation is on a downward trend!"

"In other words, our market is being taken away more and more by Yuan's Electric Appliances. Xiaobai, even if you don't mention it, I still want to tell you this. It looks like a prosperous era, but it's not. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's full of crises."

Zhang Xiaobai asked: "Brother, what do you think is the reason why Yuan's business is getting better and better?"

Su Jiaxing thought for a while and said: "First, Yuan's Electric Appliances is very She has the ability to become famous without advertising because of Yuanlai Mall. "

"Secondly, Yuan Yang has made great use of Zhu Hong!"

Zhang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, "Is Zhu Hong's influence so great?"

Su Jiaxing said, "I have analyzed it. Zhu Hong was a provincial manager and a regional manager. As long as she is in charge of a region, it will be a big blow to our Su's."

"Xiaobai, you don't know yet? Zhu Hong is now the general manager of Yuan's Electric Appliances, the real second in command."

Zhang Xiaobai said, "I have heard about this, but I didn't expect Zhu Hong to be so capable."

It seems that Zhu Hong can succeed without relying on her face and figure.

Su Jiaxing sighed.

Zhang Xiaobai said, "Find a way to get Zhu Hong's mobile phone number. I have something to talk to her about!"

Su Jiaxing said, "Okay, this is easy!"

Then Su Jiaxing called.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobai's mobile phone rang.
