Chapter 33 Bottom Line

"Oh?" Xu Yi asked in surprise. ◎∑ Top ◎ ∑ Point ◎ ∑ Small ◎ ∑ said, "What big trouble? Is there any bigger trouble than laying off more than 18,000 workers all at once?"

Kennard gave Xu Yi a resentful glance.

"Master President, strictly speaking... this big trouble is really caused by this large-scale layoff."

"What is it specifically? Let's hear it."

Kennard handed the report in his hand to Xu Yi: "This is the statistics of the existing orders of the chamber of commerce that I just calculated. Please take a look."

Xu Yi took it over and took a look, and found that the data on this report showed that the existing orders of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had declined slightly.

But this is also expected. After all, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a huge advantage over other magic machinery guilds, it is impossible to completely monopolize all the magic machinery market.

Because the large-scale layoffs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce inevitably greatly affected the production capacity, making it even more difficult for many buyers who had placed orders to receive the goods on time.

Even if the quality and performance of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's products surpass the magic machines of other chambers of commerce, in order to obtain the required magic machines, many buyers still choose to order from other magic machinery chambers of commerce.

"Is there any problem?" Xu Yi asked Kennard puzzled.

Kennard smiled wryly: "Master President, haven't you noticed? This is the order statistics we have now, but if you look at the time, you will find that in the last month, our chamber of commerce has received new orders. Compared with the same period last year, the number of orders dropped by nearly half. This means that many buyers have lost confidence in our chamber of commerce, which is a very serious problem."

Xu Yi smiled slightly. His expression was not tense.

"Loss of confidence in us? That's not necessarily the case. I think they just lost patience. As long as our chamber of commerce restores production capacity. I'm sure they will still turn around and order from our chamber of commerce."

Kennard shook his head. Sighed: "Master President, it will take a lot of effort to regain the lost market, and the effect may not be good. You see, from the order statistics, we are now in the Kingdom of Rulson and the Duchy of Mirando. As well as the Duchy of Drake, and the markets in the three newly opened small duchies have all shrunk considerably. According to my statistics, the losses caused by the shrinking of these markets alone have exceeded two million Gold coins. In addition to the liquidated damages of 3.26 million gold coins we paid when we dismissed more than 18,000 workers, our loss in this matter this time has exceeded the terrifying five million gold coins! "

Looking at the trace of resentment in Kennard's eyes, Xu Yi shrugged, thinking that Kennard, as the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, turned out to have such a big incident and such a serious loss in the Chamber of Commerce No wonder he felt a lot of pressure, so much so that he felt a bit of resentment towards himself.

However, Xu Yi did not regret this decision.

After the more than 18,000 strike workers were dismissed in one go by means of a thunderbolt, the situation in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce quickly stabilized.

Now the workers in the various factory workshops under the chamber of commerce. All returned to normal working condition.

Although the atmosphere was a little more dignified than before, it actually improved some work efficiency.

In addition, a series of automatic magic machine tools developed by Sancheli were put into use. The efficiency of all factories has been greatly improved.

Xu also believes that if the workers get used to it for a longer period of time, the production efficiency of each factory workshop will be much higher than before the dismissal of more than 18,000 workers, which will actually increase the overall production capacity of the chamber of commerce.

"Okay, in order to completely solve the problem, losses are inevitable. Instead of always procrastinating and letting this problem exist, it is better to solve it before it completely affects the entire chamber of commerce. Although this time our loss exceeds five One million gold coins, but after the Comparator solves this problem, it will have a positive effect on the Chamber of Commerce, I think the five million gold coins are very worthwhile." Xu Yi said seriously.

Kennard was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

No matter how sad he was about the loss of the chamber of commerce, as the CEO in charge of administrative affairs, he was actually more aware of the seriousness of the problems behind the strike than Xu Yi.

Although Xu Yi's solution was too drastic, it was indeed the most thorough solution to the problem.

Influenced by Xu Yi's ruthless solution, the employees staying in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are extremely loyal to the Chamber of Commerce, and they dare not make any more excessive incidents.

Moreover, Xu also suggested the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Workers' Union, which gave employees a formal channel to raise their opinions to the Chamber of Commerce, effectively avoiding the possibility of another strike because of opinions in their hearts, and at the same time further enhancing the cohesion of the employees of the Chamber of Commerce .

It can be said that the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, compared with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before the general strike and mass layoffs, the overall operation is smoother and much more efficient.

As CEO, Kennard understands this very well.

So in fact, if you calculate it carefully, the real negative impact of these two things on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the loss of more than five million gold coins.

Although these losses are extremely serious for many other chambers of commerce, it is even more catastrophic for many smaller and less profitable chambers of commerce, and even for many first-class chambers of commerce. But for the current Xinfei chamber of commerce, But it is not a serious loss that is unacceptable.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now been fully developed in several surrounding countries, and its products are distributed in almost every place in each country, and it has cooperated with every country, and its income has been rising rapidly.

According to statistics, the monthly net profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce reached an astonishing 1.48 million gold coins last month, which has increased by half compared to the 930,000 gold coins in January this year.

According to this trend, by the end of this year, the annual profit of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will most likely reach or even exceed 15 million gold coins.

Therefore, although the loss of five million gold coins is still not small, it is completely within the acceptable range of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

What's more, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is mainly affected by these two incidents to temporary orders. In the long run, as long as Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has enough production capacity, then relying on the high quality and high performance of Xinfei Brand Magic Machinery, it can sell as much as it produces. How much, there is no need to worry about sales at all, and naturally there is no need to worry about income.

So what really troubled Kennard was because other buyers chose other brands of magic machines this time, and it would be difficult for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to snatch back this part of the market in the future.

"It's not a trouble, actually...it's what I want to see." Xu Yi smiled. "I have been thinking about how to let other brands of magic machines enter the new market. Now that this kind of thing happened, it made other people take the initiative to turn their attention to other brands of magic machines, which saved me a lot of effort."

Kennard couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Having worked with Xu Yi for so long, he certainly knows that Xu Yi's ideal has always been to spread the magic industry across the continent, not just hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will occupy the entire continent.

For ordinary businessmen, it is naturally abhorrent to be robbed of the market, but in Xu Yi's view, it is happy to hear it.

After thinking about it, Kennard didn't bother with this issue, but raised another question.

"Master President, although you have no objection to the market being robbed, but due to the impact of this incident, several countries have suspended their cooperation intentions with our chamber of commerce, and even the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Rikafort have turned their attention to Other chambers of commerce plan to cooperate with other chambers of commerce in magic machinery. Do you always pay attention to this?"

"Well... that's a problem. But the problem is not that they don't cooperate with our chamber of commerce, but that cooperation with other chambers of commerce may cause the two duchies to go on the wrong path, wasting time, manpower and material resources, or even It would be bad for these two duchies to have an aversion to the magic industry."

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then continued: "In this way, we will find out which chambers of commerce the two duchies will choose to cooperate with, and then we will find these chambers of commerce and inform them of the standards we have formulated, hoping that they can strictly implement them. If they are unwilling, the consequences will be conceited."

Xu Yi's tone was very calm, but there was an absolutely unquestionable domineering in his words.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now occupies an absolute control position in the magic industry, so Xu Yi naturally has the confidence to say this.

Kennard didn't show any surprise, and nodded in response.

"What about the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Rikaford? How should we deal with it?" Kennard asked again.

"Send someone to contact them, and tell them that our chamber of commerce is willing to cooperate with them in magic machinery that other chambers of commerce cannot touch." Xu Yi replied.

Kennard was surprised: "Master President, you mean..."

Xu Yi nodded: "Yes. In terms of magic machine tools, our Chamber of Commerce is also willing to transfer some related technologies to cooperate with it."

"What about military magic machinery?" Kennard asked cautiously.

Xu Yi glanced at him: "What do you think?"

Seeing Xu Yi's eyes, Kennard let out a breath and felt relieved.

No matter how generous the chairman is, no matter how much he considers other chambers of commerce, no matter how much he takes the promotion of the magic industry to the entire continent as his ideal, he still has a bottom line and persistence.

The military magic machine is a sharp weapon exclusively owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it can be regarded as the trump card of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not strong enough to be invincible, it is best to hold this aspect firmly in your own hands. (To be continued..)
