Everything is off!
Hearing Wang Yu's blunt words, everyone was stunned.
"Little factory manager, isn't that bad? If there's no room for retreat, what if we really push those contract manufacturers and parts suppliers too far..."
Before Feng Daochun could finish speaking, Wang Yu waved him off directly.
"If they're pushed too far, so be it. I've treated them well enough. If they're still not satisfied, then we'll find someone else to cooperate with."
Wang Yu said without reservation, "Old Feng, you need to understand that the core technology is in our hands. They are merely outsourced manufacturers, with no technical expertise whatsoever. We can cooperate with others at any time.
As for those parts suppliers, hmph!"
Wang Yu snorted, his expression turning extremely cold. "I kindly offered to increase their prices by thirty percent, purchasing their parts at a price far exceeding the market rate by thirty percent, yet they are still not satisfied. If this still doesn't appease them, then there's no need to continue our cooperation."
Hearing Wang Yu say this, everyone was rendered speechless.
The logic was indeed sound. But if they were to abruptly cut off cooperation with all these suppliers and contract manufacturers simultaneously, production capacity would likely plummet. Then, with so many orders undelivered, it would be a significant problem!
"Little factory manager, this will affect the bigger picture. If production capacity is damaged and orders can't be fulfilled on time, our cash flow will break, and we might end up on the same path as the previous factory manager!"
The steady and experienced old director, Li Ming, spoke with concern. After all, the automobile factory had almost gone bankrupt due to the failed engine project.
Now, with Wang Yu's efforts, the automobile factory had turned things around, but many had not forgotten that such times had only passed less than two months ago!
However, the old director's words were met with Wang Yu's unquestionable command, with no room for negotiation whatsoever!
"Alright, Uncle Ming. I have my own decisions regarding these matters!"
Such a decisive style...
Everyone finally remembered that this young man who always had a smile on his face, this approachable little factory manager, was actually the ruthless individual who had transformed the automobile factory in just two months!
"Swift and decisive" probably described his style. Anything that went against him was thoroughly cleared out, without any mercy!
This was evident in the case of Liu Wenming, the former traitor within, the dealers who had defected to the agricultural machinery factory, the hardware factory that had attacked their own people, and later the department store, and so on.
Anyone who stood on Wang Yu's opposite side was unceremoniously cut off without any hesitation!
On this matter, Wang Yu was absolutely decisive and could not tolerate even a speck of dust!
"Alright, just tell them they can either come to talk in a week, or we part ways. We don't lack partners now."
Wang Yu said bluntly. Old Grandpa Sun understood and turned to leave.
He didn't understand concepts like production, orders, or the bigger picture.
He only knew that when they were starving, it was their little factory manager who had pulled these scoundrels out of the mire. Now, these ungrateful wretches, seeing that their automobile factory was making money, were all plotting to get a piece of the pie.
They had even united to pressure them. How could such scoundrels be allowed to run rampant? Of course, they had to be dealt with!
The little factory manager's actions were truly manly and inspiring!
Old Grandpa Sun thought to himself as he walked out.
Wang Yu also waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave his office.
After leaving Wang Yu's office, Feng Daochun and the others exchanged glances, clearly seeing the three words in each other's eyes: "What to do?"
"Alas, the little factory manager is just young and impetuous," Feng Daochun sighed, shaking his head.
"These people came together, clearly pre-arranged. They're clearly trying to force our hand, knowing we have no choice. If we reject them, the factory will immediately be crippled!"
Han Jun's face was filled with anxiety.
"Why don't we try to persuade the little factory manager again? Or perhaps Director Li, you could try to convince him? This situation is very bad for us. The factory has only just started to show some improvement."
Han Jun's words were filled with anxiety, but everyone could only shake their heads helplessly.
"You all know the little factory manager's character. He's willing to discuss other matters, but once it involves a matter of principle, there's no room for negotiation."
Old Director Li Ming sighed helplessly. "Actually, the little factory manager is right. If these people can unite to force us to raise prices today, they can threaten to share profits with us tomorrow. So, this precedent cannot be set!"
"But..." Han Jun still wanted to say something.
"Alright, stop talking. Since the little factory manager said so, he must have his own way. Let's trust him."
Old Director Li Ming stopped everyone. "Everyone, disperse and do your own jobs well, so the little factory manager doesn't have to worry anymore.
We must believe in him, after all, it's not the first time he's created a miracle!"
Hearing the old director's words, everyone finally dispersed, but their faces were all solemn.
After watching everyone leave, old Director Li Ming also sighed long and helplessly, "Our factory... is truly plagued by misfortune!"
With that, he shook his head and slowly departed.
At the main gate of the automobile factory, a group of people were gathered, arguing noisily.
They were representatives from various parts suppliers and contract manufacturers. Today, they had agreed to come to the automobile factory together to force their hand, their goal being to make Wang Yu agree to their price increase demands.
However, after hearing Old Grandpa Sun's message, they all started to clamor.
"Are you kidding me? He, Wang Yu, is talking about parting ways?"
"What do you mean, 'not here now'? If he's not here, who said that?"
"Damn it, could this kid Wang Yu really be thinking of flipping the table?"
...
The crowd argued, their noise becoming like a bustling marketplace.
After a while, a leader stepped forward and spoke.
"Everyone, don't worry. Wang Yu is just bluffing to scare us!"
The speaker was none other than the old factory manager of the bicycle factory, Huang He.
Upon seeing his declaration, everyone stopped and their gazes all fell upon him.
"If Wang Yu really wasn't afraid of parting ways, why would he postpone the answer for a week? Clearly, he can't save face and wants to find a way down. We have an open strategy, and he has no choice!"
