Che Lizi was choked up by Dong Yiqing's rhetorical question. Her mouth was half open and half closed like a goldfish, and she was speechless for a long time.
Seeing the embarrassment on Ai Jiang's face, Zhang Yingfei hurriedly interjected: "Do we still need to assume that the second half of the year will be the company's peak sales season? This is something everyone knows. Stop showing off your eloquence and focus on what you have to say."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room could see Zhang Yingfei's intention to protect Che Lizi, and Dong Yiqing was no exception.
But she didn't panic, just smiled: "I have said what I want to say, and I still ask the leaders to make a decision."
Zhang Yingfei scanned the people in the conference room with his eyes and tapped the table with his fingertips dissatisfied: "Although the company's performance in the first half of the year deviated somewhat from expectations, (this situation) is not the first time for an old company like ours. Now, why haven’t we seen big storms? I still stick to what I just said: Difficulties are temporary, but we must take a long-term view. Even if we don’t think about the second half of the year, do we still need to prepare for the Nuremberg Exhibition? What if Nuremberg What should we do if the sales at the exhibition are booming but there is no stock in the warehouse? In the longer term, should we consider next year? We can't keep saying to customers "Sorry, we only have samples" or "Please wait a few more months"? Don't Forget, we have already made a fool of ourselves at the just-concluded Frankfurt exhibition. This irresponsible attitude has done great harm to our company. Therefore, we must not only build new production lines, but also build them quickly and in large quantities. Established. You can take a look at the tables on the last few pages of the report. It is clearly written in it. In addition to orders from Europe, we also have orders from North America and South America that are also rising. As for the inventory in the warehouse, it is far away. Water can't quench the thirst..." While Zhang Yingfang was away, Zhang Yingfei made an impassioned speech while not forgetting to "help" Zhang Quanfu get an acupuncture for her.
"President Fei, although the order amounts in the United States and Africa are high, they actually have very harsh conditions. There are many companies..." Dong Yiqing was about to explain the contracts that Zhang Yingfei gave as an example. Zhang Yingfei immediately refused with a sharp look in his eyes. His gestures and stern tone stopped her from continuing.
"Dong Yiqing, let the leader finish his words before expressing his opinions." Zhang Yingfei did not expect that Dong Yiqing would be so strong and dare to interrupt him again and again. Just as he was getting more and more disgusted with this girl, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Dong Yiqing had always been submissive before. She could not say that she obeyed her words but she never dared to contradict her. Could it be that her behavior today was supported by someone behind her back? ?
Before Dong Yiqing could defend herself, she heard someone at the door of the conference room say coldly: "Let Mr. Fei finish speaking first."
Everyone turned around following the sound and saw Zhang Yingfang standing at the door of the conference room at some point.
She looked paler than at the beginning of the meeting, and the lipstick made her lips appear unusually red.
She walked back to her seat in a few steps, raised her hand to pick up Che Lizi's report, and said in a light tone while flipping through it: "Go on."
But she didn't even look at him.
Zhang Yingfei did not expect Zhang Yingfang to come back so soon, and there was a look of astonishment on his face. He picked up the water glass and looked at Zhang Quanfu: "I've finished talking."
Zhang Quanfu suddenly said: "Yinghua, tell me your opinion."
"Me?" Zhang Yinghua, the second oldest child, who had been watching the show with gusto, did not expect to be suddenly ordered by his father, and looked at Zhang Yingfang and Zhang Yingfei uncomfortably.
Zhang Yinghua already knew that his sister and brother didn't deal with each other, but he didn't want to get involved in their affairs. For him, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the company, his brother or his sister. He only needs to pay dividends every year. Now he just likes to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. It would be great if the two of them could fight to the point of losing both sides.
"I think so," Zhang Yinghua rolled his eyes, "What Yingfei said makes sense."
Although Zhang Yinghua has no right to speak, his words have little weight. But the other party supported him as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Zhang Yingfei feel very proud. Anyway, having someone to support you is definitely not a bad thing.
"Under dad's leadership, what have we not experienced in so many years of ups and downs?" Zhang Yinghua said in a tone very similar to Zhang Yingfei's, "Not to mention, the situation in the first two years was even worse than now, right? But what happened later? How about that? Shouldn’t we still come over here?”
There was another murmur in the room.
"I support INFINAIR's opinion. We are no longer a small workshop, but a German company, so we need to have an international perspective, predict the future, and know the importance of preparing for a rainy day."
Zhang Yingfei looked at Zhang Yinghua approvingly, and glanced at Zhang Yingfang proudly, with pride in his eyes.
"Are you done?" Zhang Yingfang asked calmly.
Zhang Yinghua didn't expect Zhang Yingfang to be so direct, and was stunned for a second: "Well, not yet."
Zhang Yingfei's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"But what Ms. Dong said just now, well, is also very pertinent. If we blindly open a new production line but the sales fail to keep up, then all our working capital will be tied up. I don't think I need to remind you, everyone They all have the impression that we suffered this kind of loss when doing business with Fujino before. So prudence is indeed an indispensable quality for us."
Zhang Yinghua mentioned Fujino intentionally or unintentionally. Dong Yiqing didn't understand the Japanese's entanglement with the company and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yingfang, but there was no strange expression on her face and she looked normal.
Only then did Zhang Yingfei understand what Zhang Yinghua meant, and he muttered in a low voice: "The fence-sitter."
Zhang Yinghua pretended to be honest and laughed twice, then held the water glass and read the report without saying a word, but listened to everyone's speeches with his ears bent.
Seeing that Zhang Yinghua was not offended, Zhang Quanfu sighed inwardly and looked sideways at Zhang Yingfang: "Miss Dong thinks that the company's sales data in the first half of the year are very poor. We should optimize and adjust the existing production lines and postpone the opening of new production lines. "
Zhang Yingfang nodded: "Then let me share my opinion."
Zhang Quanfu made a "please" gesture.
Seeing that Zhang Yingfang was about to speak, everyone sat up straight, even Zhang Yinghua and Che Lizi looked attentive. Only Zhang Yingfei still looked carefree.
Zhang Yingfang got straight to the point: "As the general manager of the company, I have actually noticed the decline in sales since March, but I was afraid of affecting everyone's morale, and in order to observe further, I adopted a wait-and-see attitude. But after that, In May, except for orders at exhibitions, orders from all our channels shrank to varying degrees. Some of you may think this is due to the market, then I can tell you responsibly: Europe, especially the German market It’s not shrinking, it’s expanding.”
Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Zhang Yingfei deliberately dropped the pen in his hand to the ground with a "pop" sound, but the sound did not attract anyone's attention.
"From the information I have, from the beginning of the year to now, the orders of many of our competitors have increased instead of decreasing. And the reason why some old friends we have known for more than 20 years are still purchasing orders from us is purely based on the past many years. Friendships formed by everyone supporting each other. But friendship is not a business after all, so the share of these orders is also decreasing day by day. I understand that everyone has to eat, and I might do the same in other circumstances."
Most people did not expect that the company's business would be in this situation now, and the room was silent.
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Zhang Yingfang breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm not saying this to scare you. Based on my limited life experience, this situation is not necessarily a bad thing. This shows that our business has already When you develop to a certain scale, you must make major adjustments based on the actual market conditions. There is a saying from our ancestors that "misfortune lies where blessings rely, and misfortune lies behind." In modern Chinese, this sentence is summarized in two words: Crisis. And crisis means that danger and opportunity coexist.”
