Chapter 359: Solve the problem
Dongchen Advertising, conference room.
Xu Chen, Nie Fei, Zhou Junjun, Sun Amy, Gu Xinxin.
While several people were eating fruit, they were still discussing the midsole material.
Zhou Junjun chewed an apple and added:
"In addition to Nike and Li Ning, there are also other parties involved.
There are new iterative materials on the market, and several leading brands are basically keeping an eye on them...
Even if I didn't know about it originally, I heard that Nike was following up, and I basically got over it.
Therefore, Wanrong Materials itself has a high say in negotiations. ”
Nie Fei: "If we really want to win, there is nothing we can do, but the price we may pay will be very high..."
Xu Chen: "For example?"
Nie Fei: "What the other party wants is nothing more than long-term, stable, and large orders. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of profit...
What we can come up with for negotiation is either signing a gambling agreement or equity exchange...
Just take out some of the shares of Ranbing Sports. ”
Xu Chen waved his hand directly and gave a negative conclusion.
"Do they know this is Xie Bingran's brand?"
Nie Fei: "Yes, we have also made relevant promotions.
They have done orders for sports brands before, so they are still paying attention to sports events. Naturally, they also know about Xie Bingran, who is rising in China.
But generally speaking, they still have no firm expectations for Xie Bingran's future track performance and commercial value.
So, don’t dare to gamble with us. ”
……
Xu Chen couldn't help but frown.
At present, it seems that the most preferred midsole material solution has reached a deadlock.
He picked up the coloring page on the table again and flipped through it carefully.
This company called "Wanrong Materials" is the exclusive supplier of this "TPU foam solution"...
Xu Chen flipped through the company introduction on the color page, but was suddenly stunned.
On the company introduction page, there is a blue cartoon image, which is the mascot of this "Wanrong Materials".
I just took a glance at it and felt like I had seen it somewhere before, but now I suddenly remembered...
Nie Fei said again: "The design company has already been connected, so the midsole material needs to be finalized as soon as possible.
I'm thinking about visiting their boss this week or next week...
If you really can't get it, you have to use alternatives. ”
Zhou Junjun nodded:
“Among the alternatives, the second ranked one is Meirui New Materials.
Their EVA secondary foam material is considered to be pretty good in the industry.
However, it has already been mass-produced and applied in some mid-to-low-end products of Li Ning and Anta.
It is difficult for us to regard it as a unique product selling point. ”
……
Xu Chen thought about it and suddenly said:
"Maybe this Wanrong Materials can still handle it..."
Nie Fei was stunned for a moment, frowning in confusion.
Zhou Junjun turned his head and looked at Nie Fei, wondering what the words "Mr. Xiao Xu" meant.
In fact, from the perspective of Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun, the possibility of Wan Rong's materials being negotiated is already very slim.
Both of them are considered "industry insiders" in the sports category, and naturally have a deeper understanding of the market than Xu Chen.
Judging from the current comprehensive information, the chance of cooperation between "Ranbing Sports" and "Wanrong Materials" is very small.
It is even possible that Wanrong Materials has signed an exclusive cooperation with a certain sports brand, but it is still under confidentiality and has not been announced to the public.
……
Xu Chen smiled and said:
"My dad should listen to whatever I say, right?
Even if what I say doesn’t make sense at first glance..."
Nie Fei was a little confused, but she still said seriously:
"Mr. Xu, I should listen to you."
Xu Chen nodded:
"Wait a moment, I'll confirm something."
He stood up and said to Gu Xinxin:
"Xinxin, use your computer."
Gu Xinxin responded, got up and followed him out.
Arriving at the workstation, Gu Xinxin unlocked the computer screen and gave up her seat to Xu Chen.
In the conference room, Nie Fei and others looked at each other, really confused about the situation.
Xu Chen held the color page of "Wanrong Materials" in his hand, opened the page and searched for related information.
"Wanrong Materials" is indeed very powerful.
Producing and supplying high-tech materials across industries, the annual turnover has exceeded one billion...
On the official website of "Wanrong Materials", Xu Chen flipped through the news articles and found Wanrong's "boss", an entrepreneur named Su Qitai.
He stared at it, frowned and thought about it.
Then I logged into QQ and found a group photo in a certain QQ space.
……
……
A few minutes later, Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun were already standing behind Xu Chen.
Xu Chen pointed to the photo on the screen:
"This is Wanrong's boss, Su Qitai, right?"
Nie Fei nodded: "That's right.
This time we went to visit and chatted a bit in person.
But the specific communication is with his vice president. ”
Xu Chen opened another "Father and Daughter Photo" in QQ space, pointed at the little girl inside and said:
"This is Su Qitai's daughter, her name is Su Rong, she happens to be in our class..."
Zhou Junjun: "Huh?"
Nie Fei: "Is it such a coincidence?"
Zhou Junjun: "Real or false?"
The little girl in the photo is Su Rong, the "literary committee member" of Xu Chen's class.
"..."
I have long heard that Su Rong is a "rich girl from Jiangsu Province", but I didn't expect that she is indeed "rich". The annual revenue of her family's business easily exceeds one billion...
The blue cartoon mascot of "Wanrong Materials" seemed familiar to Xu Chen.
I finally remembered that I had seen it on Su Rong's backpack.
Su Rong has a light pink MK backpack with several cute little pendants hanging on it.
During a certain class committee meeting, Xu Chen even glanced at it a few times.
Xu Chen knew most of those pendants, Chibi Maruko-chan, Doraemon, Hello Kitty...
The only one I didn't recognize was the blue cartoon mascot of "Wan Rong Material" that I saw at this moment.
Of course, Xu Chen was just guessing in the conference room just now.
At this moment, I checked the news and found the photos in Su Rong's space, which completely confirmed my guess.
Su Rong is actually the biological daughter of Su Qitai, the founder of "Wanrong Materials".
It turns out that this soft-spoken literary committee member in the same class is also an extremely important "eldest lady".
……
Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun looked at each other, both showing a hint of surprise.
The two of them also instantly understood why Xu Chen asked that inexplicable sentence just now:
"My dad should listen to whatever I say..."
So if we can deal with Miss Su, can we also deal with Su Qitai?
"Wanrong Materials" is a private enterprise that has not yet been listed on the market, so the boss alone has the final say in decision-making.
Nie Fei smiled: "So, do you have a good relationship with this daughter of the Su family?"
Zhou Junjun showed a look of joy and patted Xu Chen on the shoulder:
"Isn't this daughter of the Su family already having an affair with you?
Okay, Mr. Xu...
I think this is a match made in heaven! ”
Xu Chen: "..."
Amy Sun: "??"
Gu Xinxin: "?!"
Xu Chen thought for a moment and said:
"I'm actually not very familiar with this Miss Su.
We were just acquaintances at school..."
He paused and then said with a smile: "But she is a fan of Brother Bing, and she also said that she would book a ticket by herself to go to Doha to watch Brother Bing compete!"
He touched his chin and recalled the scene he had accidentally glimpsed before:
"She should like Brother Bing very much...
Otherwise, it would be impossible to set the phone wallpaper to a poster of Brother Bing. ”
Zhou Junjun turned his head and looked at Nie Fei, but he laughed out loud:
"It takes no effort at all! It's so wonderful!"
He patted Xu Chen on the shoulder:
"Mr. Xiao Xu is so lucky, God is helping you do business!"
Xu Chen: "..."
Nie Fei looked at Xu Chen:
"So... is there any chance to talk through this little girl?"
Xu Chen: “It’s hard to say yet, I have to give it a try.
It depends on whether his father, Su Qitai, is like my father and completely listens to me...
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Of course, it also depends on whether we can convince Miss Su Rong. ”
Nie Fei nodded:
"What do you think of the arrangement? Do you need our cooperation?"
Xu Chen thought about it and whispered to himself:
"Perhaps, we can also add some bargaining chips."
He flipped through the official website introduction of "Wanrong Materials" again and pointed.
Zhou Junjun took a closer look and saw some product introductions of Wanrong Materials.
One of Xu Chen's fingers is a "polymer engineering plastic".
Zhou Junjun: "What do you mean?"
Xu Chen: "If I remember correctly...
When I was in the factory, I heard Director Yang introduce the product plan, and the plastic parts for electric vehicles mentioned were this kind of material. ”
Nie Fei had already reacted and smiled happily:
"Great...
If we can negotiate the order for electric vehicle plastic parts together, the probability of winning it will increase a lot! ”
Zhou Junjun is still a little confused about the situation:
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Junjun still knew very little about "Morning Wind Technology".
Nie Fei smiled and briefly explained the situation of "Morning Wind Electric Vehicle" to Zhou Junjun.
Zhou Junjun laughed out loud again, patted Xu Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Mr. Xu, you are truly a child of luck!"
Xu Chen thought for a while: "You have to confirm this with Director Yang.
The first is whether Wanrong's engineering plastics can meet the requirements.
The second is whether the procurement can be transferred here..."
Nie Fei: "Let me confirm the communication!
Last time I went to Tiancheng, Director Yang and I were already very familiar with each other. ”
Xu Chen nodded: "I'll call my dad first this afternoon."
Nie Fei: "Okay!"
Xu Chen: "Find a way to get the daughter of the Su family and let her help us convince her father.
Plus engineering plastics purchase orders...
This matter feels a little more certain. ”
Zhou Junjun looked very optimistic:
"More than just a few percent more certainty, I think this matter has already been done!
Brother Bing is so handsome, but he still has that little girl fascinated..."
Xu Chen: "..."
Under such circumstances, the problem of midsole material, which was originally impossible to solve, actually felt "solved".
It’s really an inexplicable ambiguity.
……
……
In the afternoon, there was a boring "communication theory" class.
Xu Chen was sitting in the back row of the class and couldn't help but look forward.
What he saw was naturally classmate Su Rong.
It was confirmed again during the break that the blue cartoon pendant on Su Rong's MK bag is the mascot of "Wanrong Materials".
Xu Chen was staring at Su Rong's back in class. Suddenly he felt something strange and quickly looked away.
How to speak and communicate with Su Rong still requires careful consideration.
It's best not to take it too seriously...
I regretted it a little. I knew earlier that I should participate in more class committee activities and build a good relationship with Su Rong in advance.
However, it was indeed impossible to predict in advance that the key to solving the problem of midsole materials turned out to be this weak literary committee member in the class.
……
During the afternoon break, Xu Chen sent a few text messages to his father, Xu Zhiquan, to synchronize the general situation.
Xu Zhiquan knew that this was an important matter and immediately replied:
[I will tell Director Yang right away, just let Nie Fei communicate with Director Yang. 】
……
……
In the evening, the academy cafeteria.
Xu Chen and several roommates made a meal and chatted while eating.
"Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang" Qian Xin was laughing and joking beside him, Xu Chen said:
"Mr. Qian, have you applied for your visa and travel to go to the Asian Games?"
Qian Xin was stunned and looked at Xu Chen with a smile:
"Alas! Will Boss Xu come too? That would be great!"
Xu Chen: "I'm thinking about it!"
Qian Xin: “It’s great that we have more people together!
My tourist visa has been applied for, but my business trip has not yet been decided! ”
He glanced at Huang Hao:
"Huang Hao won the lottery for a place in the academy...
I'd like to check out the college's travel arrangements. It's almost scheduled for a certain time!
It feels more reliable to follow the academy. ”
Huang Hao joked:
"Boss Qian is also afraid of poor public security abroad?"
Qian Xin smiled "hehe":
“My main problem is that my spoken English is very poor and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to communicate with people when I go out!
With the academy, at least there is a unified arrangement. ”
That's quite reasonable.
Xu Chen: "Where's Su Rong? Do you have the same arrangement?"
Qian Xin was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Wenyi who was eating silently across the table, and said:
"I haven't communicated with Su Rong yet. I have to avoid suspicion..."
Chen Wenyi swallowed a mouthful of food, but suddenly said:
"Mr. Qian... don't avoid suspicion, I know you two are fine.
In addition, Su Rong has clearly rejected me, and I have long stopped thinking about her. ”
Qian Xin smiled and handed the unopened Sprite to Chen Wenyi.
Chen Wenyi showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Thank you!"
Qian Xin: "Then I will send a message to give feedback to Su Rong later. She is probably still waiting for my reply!
Anyway, if she needs my help booking tickets or something, I will help her handle it together.
After all, she is a girl, so she still needs to take care of her. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Hao and Pei Qian, two roommates, started teasing him.
Xu Chen listened quietly, but he was thinking in his heart that Miss Su's trip to the Asian Games could be used as a reason and opportunity for communication.
……
Xu Chen thought about it again and left a message in the company group:
[Teacher Xinxin, please help me print some materials tomorrow morning.
It might be useful to communicate with Miss Su Rong. 】
Gu Xinxin: [Okay boss, just leave a message about the specific materials and I will deal with them early tomorrow morning. 】
