Chapter 7 Supply Chain

After hearing what Xu Shenxue said, Xu's mother subconsciously wanted to refute something, but she stopped talking and remained silent for almost a minute before saying:

"Boarding is still not appropriate. She is in her second year of high school and her studies cannot be delayed. It is not good to change the environment hastily. Moreover, if she boards, it will be difficult to find a tutor. We can't let the tutor go to the school dormitory to teach her!"

At this point, Xu's mother finally sighed: "Recently, I am opening a beauty salon with a few friends. The store is a bit far from Anhua, and we are quite busy preparing for the opening."

"So I'm going to live in Anhua's house for a while. It's closer and more convenient for me to handle the beauty salon. I invested over a million in this beauty salon and I'm a major shareholder. I can't rest assured if I don't keep an eye on it myself. You stay home and take good care of your sister!"

Xu Shenxue nodded after hearing this: "That's good!"

In fact, he didn't really want to get involved in these family matters. It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, let alone the conflict between mother and daughter.

However, since he had inherited the original owner's business and family, he couldn't just ignore what he had seen, so he followed his sister's wishes and suggested that the two of them live separately for a while!
Anyway, the problems between the two of them can hardly be solved in a short period of time... One is a middle-aged woman who became a little neurotic towards her family because her husband died, and the other is a young girl who became a little sensitive because her father died... There is no good solution, just separate them.

Distance creates beauty!
The next day, after Xu Shenxue went out to work, he received a call from Xu's mother at noon, saying that she had gone to Anhua's place and had not been back often in the past one or two months, only coming back when she was free.

Let him look after his sister more, urge her to study hard, and never let her become rebellious and do bad things.

Xu Shenxue naturally agreed. In fact, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with his sister Xu Weiwei. She was not a rebellious teenager in the traditional sense. It was simply because the loss of her father Xu was a huge blow to her, and her mother's nagging made her become like this.

As long as the environment returns to normal, then everything will be normal.

As for words like rebellious, it is a bit too much to use them on Xu Weiwei!

She is already a second year of high school, not young anymore. In the factory of Wecoo Electronics, there are a large group of female assembly line workers who are 17 or 18 years old. Many of them have started working since they graduated from junior high school. They work in two shifts every day. Why don’t they rebel?

After a simple lunch in the company's cafeteria, Xu Shenxue, accompanied by several people from the purchasing department, visited a supply chain factory in the afternoon.

Recently, a supplier who supplied them with circuit boards had some problems. Several batches of circuit boards had quality problems. The most recent one was even worse, even the hole positions were wrong... It was no big deal that they made this typical low-level mistake, but they actually shipped the products directly to them... This shows how poor the quality management is. It is estimated that they don’t even have a qualified quality inspector!

Naturally, Weiku Electronics could not tolerate this situation, so it directly returned the goods and refunded the money, and also claimed a sum of money according to the contract, and then planned to change suppliers.

Circuit boards don't require much technical skills, and there are a lot of manufacturers in Shenzhen that make them. But just because they're easy to make doesn't mean the quality can be well controlled.

The quality management of many small factories is worrying... You say that large factories have good quality management, but large factories are expensive!

Therefore, we will still look for new suppliers from small factories, as the price will be cheaper. However, it is not easy to find new suppliers from small factories, as it depends on their quality management and stable supply capabilities.

Weiku Electronics currently produces and sells 40,000 to 50,000 mobile phones per month and will absolutely not allow any problems in the supply chain to cause production suspension.

Therefore, when going to inspect, we should pay more attention to the other party's scale and production management, as well as the price and payment period.

The people in the purchasing department had already investigated the price and payment terms in advance, and had almost reached an agreement with the other party, which was quite favorable... It was precisely because of this premise that Xu Shenxue went to investigate in person, otherwise he would not have gone at all!

Xu Shenxue has so many things to do every day, how can he have so much time to waste with you? After your price and payment terms meet my requirements, then we can talk about quality and stable supply.

What, you're not happy?

Just change one. There are so many manufacturers that can make circuit boards, you are not the only one left.

In Shenzhen and even in the Pearl River Delta, there are countless companies in the consumer electronics industry chain!
You can basically find all kinds of miscellaneous components in the field of daily consumer electronics in Huaqiangnan.

For example, if you want to make a mobile phone, if you do it in other parts of the country, it will be very difficult to put together a supply chain. Even if you can barely put it together, the supply cost will be high.

But in Shenzhen, if you go to Huaqiang South, you can get what you want in one day at most. This means that you can directly place an order after comparing multiple manufacturers...

Of course, if you need it in a hurry, you will inevitably be bitten by various middlemen. If the quantity is large, or you are not in a hurry, you can slowly find the goods directly from the factory. Many factories have set up shops in this place.

Weiku Electronics has its own store here, which is mainly used to receive various small wholesale customers. It also serves as a publicity window for major customers and does not do retail sales.

Shenzhen's supply chain advantages in the consumer electronics sector are difficult to match elsewhere.

This also greatly facilitated Weiku Electronics' search for various suppliers. As soon as a problem occurred with a circuit board supplier, the purchasing department's employees didn't even have to look for it, as a group of circuit board manufacturers heard the news and came to promote their business.

After colleagues from the purchasing department conducted preliminary price negotiations and screening, the suppliers that finally appeared in front of Xu Shenxue were those with basically no problems.

The reason why Xu Shenxue still went to take a look in person and gain a deeper understanding... was mainly to strengthen his control over the supply chain.

In the consumer electronics industry, the supply chain is very important, so the supply chain of Wecoo Electronics has always been controlled by the Xu father and son. Now that it is Xu Shenxue's turn, he will naturally conduct on-site inspections in person before making the final decision.

After visiting the supplier factory, Xu Shenxue felt that the company's scale and strength were acceptable, and the factory was in normal production without any unexpected situations. In addition, the price and payment terms were also negotiated properly, so he was quite satisfied.

In the evening, the supplier's boss hosted a banquet for Xu Shenxue and his group, but it didn't last long, and no one at the table forced Xu Shenxue to drink...

Not to mention that in today's drinking party, he is the boss of Party A, and no one would be so stupid as to force him to drink.

Besides, although not many people outside know that Mr. Xu drank too much at a social gathering and died in a drunk driving accident, basically everyone in the industry knows about it. No one would be so short-sighted as to force his son to drink just over half a year after Mr. Xu died of a drunk driving accident.

Xu Shenxue also used this as an excuse to not drink at any social events, and always drank tea instead of wine... Of course, he only drank tea, and if others insisted on toasting him, they would say, "Mr. Xu, you drink tea and I'll drink wine," and he would not stop them. Just do as you please.
