Chapter 132 The one who was criticized for the price increase!
After Dong Lizhu got the assignment, she went downstairs with a girl from the office and went straight to the city's talent market.
Wu Jun went to Chen Lin's office and found that she was not there. He asked the front desk downstairs and found out that she had gone to the Market Supervision Administration for a meeting today.
When he was a self-employed small business owner in the past, Wu Jun felt like he had nothing to do all day, and no one called for meetings. Only after starting a company did he realize how troublesome it was. There was a small meeting every three days and a big meeting every five days, and someone had to attend them all.
For less important meetings, send a girl over to listen. For more important meetings hosted by the leader, Chen Lin, the main person in charge of the office, must be present in person to give the leader face.
Back in his office, Wu Jun sat on the sofa, boiled a pot of water, and made a cup of tea. As soon as he picked up the tea cup, before he could take a sip, the phone in his pocket rang.
I took out my cell phone and saw it was Chen Lin calling.
"What's wrong, Chen Lin? I'm at work today, at the company." Wu Jun said after answering the phone.
"Wu Jun, we are in trouble here. Junheng was named and criticized at today's meeting..." Chen Lin said in a somewhat hasty tone.
There was chaos on the other end of the phone and the sound of car horns. She should be on her way back now.
Wu Jun frowned slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, just watch the car for a while. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. We won't miss this for a while."
"Okay, I'm taking a taxi, so hang up first." After Chen Lin finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Twenty minutes after the decisive call, Chen Lin came to Wu Jun's office out of breath and handed several documents into Wu Jun's hands.
After Wu Jun read the documents Chen Lin brought back from the meeting, he shook his head, smiled, and threw them into the trash can.
Chen Lin sat next to Wu Jun and said angrily: "What should we do now? Those people really have nothing to do. We can't decide how much our own things are sold for. How can this be reasonable?"
"Don't be angry, drink some water to calm down the fire." Wu Jun took out a new cup, poured a glass of water for Chen Lin and handed it to her.
Chen Lin thanked her, took the cup and took a sip. She was still angry.
Today, I had a meeting at the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. First, I praised Hongyun Rice for its outstanding performance at the Rice Expo. Before Chen Lin had time to be happy, she almost slammed the door after hearing the following sentence.
Recently, the administration received reports from many rice industry dealers that Hongyun rice sold for 30 yuan per catty at the rice expo, but sold for 20 yuan in the city, which was a full 30% cheaper.
Several rice industries jointly reported that Hongyun Rice was suspected of disrupting market order, engaging in unfair competition at low prices, and seizing the market.
After investigation, the response was found to be true. The administration issued a document requiring Hongyun Rice to restore its original price and not sell it at a price lower than the market price. Otherwise, it would face fines, suspension of business for rectification, and other penalties.
It's not okay to pass off a good product as a good one, and it's also not okay to pass it off as a good product.
Wu Jun had seen a piece of news about Japan's high-quality Kobe beef being sold as ordinary beef and then being fined. He didn't expect that such nonsense would now fall on him.
The price of Hongyun rice is almost the same as that of high-end rice on the current market, but the quality is a few grades higher.
At the same price, Hongyun Rice's sales have skyrocketed, leaving other high-end rice products that are similar in price to Hongyun Rice to languish behind.
If they want to continue selling, they can only widen the price gap with Hongyun Rice. One way is to take the initiative to lower the price to a price range that can make customers excited.
Another way is to raise the price of Hongyun Rice to a price that is unacceptable to ordinary people, so that they can have something to eat.
The emergence of Hongyun Rice has undoubtedly set off a tornado of price wars in the rice industry, especially the high-end rice industry.
Some famous rice stores on the market sell high-end rice. It's no wonder that they joined forces and shared the same hatred. For a time, Hongyun Rice became the target of public criticism.
Relevant departments also said that if you sold it to foreign businessmen at the Rice Expo, it was so expensive, and now you are selling it so cheaply, what will people think if they find out? Isn’t this a deception? It can easily cause international conflicts.
So... you should sell it at the price at the rice expo!
Chen Lin took a sip of water, took a breath, and said: "This time, the agents who jointly reported us for disrupting the market order include Beidahuang, Jinlongyu, Fulinmen, Xiangshui, Wuchang, Ancient Ship, Meng Chalong, and many others.
, the formation is really quite big.”
"It seems that our Hongyun Rice has aroused public anger." Wu Jun smiled with an indifferent expression.
"You can still laugh now." Chen Lin looked at Wu Jun speechlessly, "I'm almost dying of anxiety. I even have the official documents. This price increase is inevitable. From 5
The price went up to 20, and privately we were scolded by those hotels. They just accepted the price, and we raised it to 30. It is estimated that it will be difficult to be accepted this time."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Wu Jun spread his hands, "The higher ups asked us to raise the price, but we have to raise it even if we don't want to. After all, we can't let our family become a fat man and let a lot of people starve to death."
"You're still speaking for them." Chen Lin glanced at Wu Jun shyly, "What you mean is almost as if the Zhu family's bones are frozen to death due to the smell of wine and meat. It's not that serious."
Wu Jun took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table and held it in his mouth. He moved slightly and distanced himself from Chen Lin before lighting it.
Seeing Wu Jun start smoking, Chen Lin was stunned for a moment. She remembered that Wu Jun didn't smoke before.
We haven't seen each other for more than a week. Where did he learn this bad habit? However, the way he smokes seems to have a sense of vicissitudes of a mature man, as if he has matured a lot all of a sudden.
Before, Wu Jun gave Chen Lin the impression of a sunny and handsome young man. Now, he gives her the impression of being more masculine.
When Wu Jun first started to set up the company and didn't even have an office location, Chen Lin joined in and watched the company's performance flourish and gradually get on the right track.
The company has more and more employees, and has grown from a grass-roots team of a few people to a small and medium-sized enterprise with dozens of people now.
From the initial turnover of more than 100,000 per day to the current sales of more than 1 million per day, Chen Lin watched the company develop rapidly under the leadership of Wu Jun, and became increasingly influenced by his charisma.
"He is so outstanding now. If I stay by his side, I will be as unknown as Cinderella without the glass slipper." The admiration for Wu Jun in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, but the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.
When thinking of these, Chen Lin always tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
When she and Wu Jun invited him to dinner at Haiyue Tiandi, she developed a photo of the two of them together and placed it on her bedside. That was perhaps the closest distance between the two.
That time, in the movie theater, he was right next to her, and she could reach him as soon as she stretched out her hand.
"Chen Lin?" Wu Jun called her when he saw her sitting in a daze.
"Ah? What's wrong? I'm listening." Chen Lin came back from her thoughts and said in a panic. It's so embarrassing. When she is alone with him, she always gets distracted easily. This is not the first time.
.
Wu Jun flicked the ashes on the edge of the ashtray and said, "I'm very curious who is the leader this time. He is quite capable. He can bring together a bunch of dealers who are doing their own thing."
"Before I came here, I asked some acquaintances there," Chen Lin said. "He said that at first, only Meng Chalong's family reported that there was a problem with our selling price, but they didn't accept it. Later, more than a dozen people came together.
, only then did they take it seriously."
