Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Led by Cao Chai, Chen Jianye and Yang Liangping successfully entered the conference room.

Yang Liangping quickly found the seat with his name on it and sat down smoothly. Chen Jianye's seat was right next to Yang Liangping.

The two sat upright, their eyes occasionally glancing around to see if there were any familiar faces or unfamiliar ones.

"Chen Jianye, our positions have changed."

"You're getting closer to the leadership position, haven't you noticed?"

Yang Liangping said in a low voice.

"We've found it, Director Yang. It seems this is a good thing for us."

Chen Jianye responded in a low voice.

"Yes, our seat promotion must have been arranged by the senior leader's secretary. He knows that the leader attaches great importance to the two of us at this meeting."

"I'll talk about the production issues later, and you can talk about the technical issues. As for the new sales strategy, the leaders will definitely ask, so you should prepare your answers in advance."

"Let's work together and make sure we leave a good impression on the leader."

Yang Liangping gave instructions.

"Don't worry, Yang Chang, when have I ever let you down?"

Chen Bin said with a smile.

The two stopped talking, each mentally calculating how they should answer the questions their superior might ask.

A few minutes later, the top leader arrived.

"Minister Ye."

"Minister Ye."

Everyone greeted each other.

Minister Ye nodded slightly in response.

"Is everyone here?"

Minister Ye glanced around and asked calmly.

He glanced around, mainly to see if the people he cared about had arrived.

As for the attendees, there were more than ten people, which he couldn't keep track of.

"Boss, everyone's here."

Minister Ye's secretary then spoke.

"Now that everyone's here, let's start the meeting."

"Today we will mainly discuss two issues, one of which is about the steel rolling mill's new product, the pressure cooker."

"This product is the result of six months of research by the steel mill. I have tried it once and the cooking effect is very good."

“I have great confidence in this product, and we will allocate some resources to it.”

"Director Yang Liangping of the steel rolling mill is also here. You can ask him any questions you may have."

Minister Ye explained the situation concisely and clearly.

Yang Liangping immediately straightened his back.

It's his turn to take the stage.

"Director Yang, I have a question I need to ask."

A leader from the Ministry of Foreign Trade raised his hand.

"Please say."

Yang Liangping replied.

Are pressure cookers currently in mass production?

"Mass production has started a week ago. The product qualification rate is very high, and the relevant quality inspection is also in place. The production process is completely streamlined."

After Yang Liangping finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar.

We only started mass production a week ago, and now we're already doing sales of pressure cookers? Isn't that ridiculous?

How many pressure cookers can be produced in a little over a week? A thousand or two thousand?

What's the use of such a small amount?

Is it really necessary to call such a large meeting?

"Director Yang, after more than a week of mass production, how much stock has the steel rolling mill accumulated?"

"We have less than a thousand units in stock, but we are very confident in our production capacity. Currently, our daily output is just over a hundred units, and we plan to reach a daily output of nine hundred units within a month."

Everyone was in an uproar again.

We only produce about a hundred products a day now, which is not enough to sell to the port city or even the domestic market.

This amount isn't even enough to fill a gap between your teeth.

"Director Yang, this product should be sold two months later. We need to stockpile at least 50,000 units to make it easier to sell."

"You mean, you want us to test the waters in a market first? To see if there's a market for pressure cookers?"

A leader from the Ministry of Foreign Trade raised his hand to speak.

"No, our main focus this time is on Hong Kong, to earn foreign exchange for the country."

"The supply of goods is not a problem. We plan to ship the goods in two months."

Yang Liangping explained.

"No business is done like this. If you only ship the goods two months later, how are others supposed to sell them if you don't have any stock to give them?"

At the conference table, someone spoke with great displeasure.

"Let me say a few words."

Minister Ye spoke.

Everyone stopped discussing and turned their attention to him.

"Comrade Chen Jianye put forward a new idea this time, called 'payment before delivery,' which I think is good. This is also the second thing I wanted to talk about when I called this meeting."

"Jianye, explain this to everyone."

Minister Ye said.

Chen Jianye stood tall with a warm smile on his face: "Hello, comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. The 'payment before delivery' sales method is a sales method that Director Yang and I discussed and specifically applied for with the leadership."

"Payment before delivery" means that the supplier pays us first, and we then ship the products to them after they are produced.

“I know this behavior is different from the previous business model. People may think, if you don’t see the goods, who will pay you?”

"But I must say that the old business models may no longer be practical; the supply and demand relationship is the most crucial point."

At this point, Chen Bin paused to give the others time to process the information and ask questions.

“Comrade Chen Bin, our distributors will definitely not agree to the method of payment before delivery. Your idea is too unrealistic.”

One leader retorted without any politeness.

"Comrade Chen Bin, your technical skills and R&D capabilities are absolutely top-notch, and we are all very impressed."

"But as the old saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. In sales, you've been a bit presumptuous."

Another leader also spoke without holding back.

“We finally managed to get things going in the port city and establish good trade relations with the distributors. If we start this prepayment-before-delivery approach now, it will definitely make the distributors resentful and ruin the current situation.”

Some people have explicitly voiced their opposition.

Minister Ye's expression remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

He called Yang Liangping and Chen Jianye over today, along with leaders from more than ten departments of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which naturally shows his support for Chen Jianye's idea of ​​payment before delivery.

Otherwise, he could just reject the proposal outright.

But now, seeing Chen Jianye being besieged, he remains silent and lets it go.

Minister Ye also wanted to hear what Chen Jianye had to say.

He was a leader in the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and he could assign tasks to his subordinates with a single sentence. However, if his subordinates were unwilling to do the work, were dissatisfied, or engaged in double-dealing, a good policy could be turned into a bad one.

Simply put, for a policy to be implemented, it needs the support of most colleagues.

Minister Ye is now giving Chen Bin a chance to express his thoughts and persuade others.

"Distinguished leaders, please hear me out."

Does anyone know if there's a black market near the Imperial City around 2 AM?

Chen Bin asked casually, as if it were a casual conversation.

The people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade remained silent; there was definitely a trap in that question.

Everyone knows there's a black market near the capital that specializes in reselling supplies from the supply and marketing cooperatives; many of you here have even been to the black market.

Everyone has times when they urgently need something.

If you don't have any tickets, what do you do? Head to the black market!

Even if the black market price is twice as high as that of the supply and marketing cooperative, they have no choice but to accept it.
