Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 133 Development of Inland Channels
"Sit down and talk."

"You go out first."

Li Jiayuan waved his hand with a cold smile on his lips, and Shanji handed a report to Li Jiayuan.

"There's a problem with the raw materials. The raw materials delivered by our supplier all have problems. Today was the first day of testing the machine, and the technicians immediately discovered something was wrong. The quality of these raw materials is far from what we expected."

"Didn't you find any problems during the initial inspection?"

"Some plastic raw materials cannot be put into the machine. If you just look at the raw materials, you can't tell what they are. I just went to the supplier to ask for an explanation. You know what they said, they said it might be a mistake made by the lower level.

They are willing to re-allocate materials for us, but we have to wait for scheduling, and the scheduling time is still uncertain. Because this supplier was introduced by Zhongtian, we also signed the original contract according to the normal procedures.

Pheasant's voice became quieter and quieter, but Li Jiayuan understood what he meant.

Jiayuan Logistics' contracts are now roughly divided into two types, A and B contracts. A contracts have strict requirements and extremely high liquidated damages, and are generally used for large orders that cannot afford to make mistakes. B contracts have loose conditions and are usually used for some trustworthy and unimportant things.

Because it was introduced by Zhongtian, and the amount of raw materials purchased was not large, we used the B signature. Now there is a problem. If we want to claim compensation based on the contract, it will be difficult and we will not receive any compensation.

The shoe factory has started production now and has hired so many workers. Every day and every moment of stopping is a loss.

It would be a lie for Li Jiayuan to say that he was not angry. He knew without a second thought who was responsible for this, Li Chang.

This kid is destined to die.

Lichang is a waste, but Zhongtian’s people shouldn’t be like this. This time, they tricked him.

"Last time I asked you to find a channel to order raw materials from above. Did you find it?"

"There are a few, but if you get raw materials from them, you have to pay import tariffs, and then there are the logistics costs, which are too high."

Li Jiayuan took a sip of tea.

“There’s nothing we can do about that. However, we have such a good logistics channel. We can definitely go there and bring the goods down to sell. This will increase sales, and we can get a commission as well as the logistics fees.

We'll talk about these later. You go and deal with the raw material problem first. After all, we still have to keep our livelihood in our own hands. Don't ask about Zhongtian. The other party must have come prepared this time. Zhongtian is only responsible for the introduction. These businessmen, as long as there is profit, there is nothing they can't bite off.

I'll check later to see who was so heartless as to pee on my head."

"Yes"

After receiving the order, Shan Ji turned around and went out to do his work.

Li Jiayuan curled up in the recliner. He always felt that something was wrong with today's incident. Zhongtian was not a bad guy. Since they dared to introduce him, they should not change their mind so easily.

Moreover, does that guy Lichang have such great ability?
He remembered this grudge.

Shan Ji is efficient. From contacting to getting the raw materials, everything was done in one day and the shoe factory resumed operations as usual.

As for the goods from the original supplier, they were delayed in delivery, and Li Jiayuan didn't have the patience to wait, so he just asked Lai Fu to do the job and intimidate them without actually causing any loss of life.

The old man said that suffering a loss is a blessing, but he doesn't like to suffer a loss in silence.

In the afternoon, Li Jiayuan suddenly received a call on his work phone. It was an unfamiliar call. He put down his pen, glanced at the display, and answered the call without thinking much.

"Hey, who's there?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then a very young voice spoke.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Li Cong."

Li Jiayuan raised his eyebrows, and his sharp eyes showed his understanding.

So that's how it is, he said, how could Lichang, a good-for-nothing, do something under Zhongtian's nose? It turned out it wasn't him. He felt strange the last time Lichang asked him to dinner.

Could it be that the last meal was a test, and this time at the shoe factory was where Li Cong could truly demonstrate his abilities? But why did Li Chang get involved with his cousin? Was it to deal with his biological brother?

Li Jiayuan didn't want to think too much and replied coldly:
"Oh."

After saying that, he pressed the hang-up button and curled his lips in disdain.

Calling now to show goodwill? Trying to play the game of giving away a stick and getting a sweet date? Buddy, you're dreaming too much. Let's not even talk about whether he'll dump Home Logistics, just talk about this bastard.

Asking the shoe factory to spend an extra million to order raw materials from them is an unacceptable issue and there is nothing to discuss.

And they have already taken action against the Li family, but the target is not Li Cong, but Li Chang, the second son of the Li family.

It was Li Cong who realized now that the person behind Li Chang was Li Cong.

But even if he had known it earlier, there was nothing he could do. The eldest brother of the Li family's business was mainly real estate, and he was not involved in real estate, so he couldn't do anything.

Lichang is different. The second son of the Li family does whatever makes money and has a wide range of interests.

One of them is exactly what he can control: cold chain transportation.

Jiayuan Logistics also wants to engage in cold chain transportation and take over all the business. Then Lichang will be the one who suffers.

Yesterday he had already inquired about the clients of the second son of the Li family in the cold chain business one by one. Even if he could only break even and not make any profit, he would still grab them.

It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this kind of hatred.

He poached eight of Li's dozen clients, leaving him with no friends in the business world.

Since his price is low, naturally some people are willing to abandon Lijia. Of course, this is also due to the reputation of Jiayuan Logistics. In the past month, Jiayuan Logistics has also stirred up the business community in Hong Kong Island.

Many eyes are watching, wanting to see whether Jiayuan Logistics can achieve disruptive reforms.

With such a great reputation, there are naturally many people willing to cooperate.

The remaining few who could not be poached were unable to withdraw due to their cooperation with the Li family in other areas.

The other end of the phone was hung up.

Li Cong, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked at the diamond-encrusted mobile phone in his hand and his expression suddenly changed.

"No face."

He was kind enough to cooperate proactively, but this guy really thought he was a big shot. Could it be that Li Chang had offended him too badly?
Li Cong sat down slowly and thought, judging from the current situation, Li Jiayuan is not giving me any face at all.

Yes, it is inevitable that someone who has made such a big name would be arrogant. It is better not to provoke this guy for the time being.

Li Cong himself was also waiting and watching, and had not originally planned to contact Jiayuan Logistics so early, but some time ago, Li Chang called him and asked for help. They had a good relationship, so he took advantage of this excuse to help and test the waters.

Therefore, he helped Lichang find a way to win over the suppliers. Otherwise, how could Lichang, a loser, scare those old hands?

Li Cong knew that his biggest rival was not Li Chang, but his second uncle's eldest son, Li Jun, who was the troublesome guy.

The old lady’s birthday is approaching, and her health is getting worse year by year. I don’t know how long she can live.

Therefore, they must try their best to demonstrate their abilities. After all, the old lady's attitude is the crucial factor that determines how much they can get from the family business in the future.

Evening
The Peninsula Hotel
In the bright restaurant box, Lijun tasted red wine over and over again, looking down at his watch every three to five minutes, as if he was waiting for someone.
