Chapter 187: Setting an example and achieving another success
"What? Buy us out? You're so arrogant!"
"Boss Chen, is this what you have been planning?"
"We are a century-old store, you..."
These bosses originally wanted to threaten Chen Xueru today. After all, they have more people and more power. If they join forces, Zhengyang Textile Industry may not be their opponent.
Of course, they don't want to completely break up.
However, no one present had expected that Chen Xueru would actually say that she wanted to acquire their business!
This... is such a big tone!
Chen Xueru picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly,
"Everyone, the current public-private partnership is the general trend. Each of you has been clinging to your own wealth and will eventually be eliminated by the great waves. Look at our Zhengyang Textile Industry. After the merger, we have strong capital, improved productivity, and naturally improved competitiveness."
Chen Xueru looked at everyone.
"I know you may think that our fabrics are cheap and that this is vicious competition. But it is not true. Our fabric business is not only about sales, but we also own upstream dyeing and fabric production plants. Otherwise, we would not be able to lower our prices at all."
After these words were spoken, Boss Zhao and the others fell silent.
They are all businessmen and veterans in the fabric industry, so they naturally know the reasons.
In theory, their scale is not small, but because they are all family businesses and they divide the territories among each other on a daily basis, they end up with considerable profits but are unable to expand in scale.
To be honest, we don’t have much bargaining power when it comes to upstream suppliers.
But Zhengyang Textile Industry is different.
Zhengyang Cloth has many sales channels. There are dozens of stores in Beijing alone. Now they have directly acquired upstream industries. They have the final say on the price...
In this case, even if they join forces, they probably won't get much benefit.
"Of course, I won't force you to do this. You can go back and think about it."
Chen Xueru looked at everyone who seemed to be thinking about something, and she did not rush them. Instead, she deliberately gave them the opportunity to weigh the issue.
Now, several months have passed, and many shops in Beijing have chosen public-private partnership. In Chen Xueru's opinion, He Daqing is right. Comprehensive public-private partnership is the general trend. Against this background, the sooner you enter the circle, the better.
On the contrary, in the end, not only will you not get any benefits, you may even become a target of criticism.
"This……"
Boss Zhao and his group looked at each other. Seeing that Chen Xueru was so strong, they could not continue the negotiation. They had to stand up one by one and leave in despair.
However, just three days later, these people came again and negotiated with Chen Xueru one by one, expressing their willingness to sell their shops to the government.
There was no way. Zhengyang Textile not only had favorable prices, but also better quality than what they sold. That would have been fine, but according to their observations, the service quality of each store was not on the same level as theirs.
In the face of such a behemoth, they have no competition at all.
Instead of waiting for death, it is better to just sell it.
Well, if you can’t beat them, just join them!
Anyway, the public-private partnership is being carried out now, so they won’t lose money by selling to the public Zhengyang Textile Industry.
All things are difficult at the beginning. With the acquisition of these silk and satin shops by Zhengyang Textile Industry, the road ahead seemed to be smooth sailing.
Chen Xueru took the opportunity to acquire a number of large fabric companies in other places. In just half a year, she expanded the scale of the original Zhengyang Textile Industry by more than five or six times.
"Boss Chen, Manager He, you guys have set a good example for us!"
On this day, Lin Chaoming from the Commerce Bureau came to Fengze Garden specifically and called He Daqing and Chen Xueru over.
After all, both Fengze Garden and Zhengyang Textile Industry are industries of their Commercial Bureau.
Today, the profits from Fengzeyuan and Zhengyang Cloth Industry are terrifying figures every month. The Commercial Bureau also has strong capital, and it has become much easier to carry out many businesses.
Chen Xueru and He Daqing are simply his two lucky generals.
"No, no, we are just following the trend. The policies above are still better!"
He Daqing laughed and quickly toasted Lin Chaoming.
“Policies are policies, and execution is execution.”
Lin Chaoming took a sip and looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Look, other units are very slow to implement the same policy in public-private partnerships. Even if they succeed, the turnover of the enterprises after the partnership is a mess. Many of them are even poorly managed and have to rely on subsidies from above. Look at the mess this has caused!"
Yes, in the past six months, the entire city has been carrying out vigorous joint venture activities.
However, because it was just the beginning, some managers on the public side had poor business capabilities, so there were many failures. In contrast, Lin Chaoming from the Commercial Bureau stood out.
After the merger, almost all acquired companies expand wildly, and the improvements in production efficiency and social benefits are very obvious.
For this, Lin Chaoming was praised by his superiors and even promoted to a higher level.
Lin Chaoming looked at He Daqing with a smile.
"The higher-ups will hold a meeting in a few days to decide whether to let other units learn from us. Daqing, Xueru, you are all our own people. When the time comes, you can come over and share your experience with them. We can learn from each other and make progress together!"
As soon as these words were spoken, He Daqing suddenly understood.
No wonder Lin Chaoming came here specially to treat us to dinner today, it turns out he has something to ask for.
However, a tall tree attracts the wind. He Daqing feels that he has already attracted a lot of attention to his current position. If he continues to show off, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
"Boss, I'm just a cook. If it weren't for your kindness, I would still only be working in the kitchen!"
He Daqing smiled and said,
"Besides, I am just a figurehead of Zhengyang Textiles. The actual operations are all carried out by Chen Xueru. I think you should let Chen Xueru go up there to share experiences. I can't take the lead."
The more you participate, the easier it is to get into trouble, and even to offend villains.
It’s okay this year, but it may not be the case in ten years.
Anyway, He Daqing now has both status and money, so he is content.
As soon as he said this, Chen Xueru, who was sitting next to him, felt something in her heart.
In Chen Xueru's opinion, He Daqing deliberately gave the good job to her. This guy, he obviously did a good thing, but he insisted that I take the bad reputation...
"Oh, He Daqing, you are so modest!"
Lin Chaoming glanced at He Daqing, but in fact he couldn't quite see the chef clearly.
Yes, he is just a cook, but in many aspects, he seems to be more professional than me.
As the old saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Is there really any connection between them?
"But since you've said that, Chen Xueru, you can't refuse me, otherwise I won't be able to finish my work!"
Lin Chaoming laughed and turned to look at Chen Xueru.
