Chapter 33 Bottom Line
"Oh?" Xu Yi asked in surprise. ◎∑w. "What big trouble? Is there any bigger trouble than dismissing more than 18,000 workers at once?"
Kennard shook Xu Yi with a resentful look.
"Sir, strictly speaking... this big trouble is really caused by this large-scale layoff."
"What is it? Let's hear it."
Kennard handed the report in his hand to Xu Yi: "This is the current order situation of the Chamber of Commerce that I just counted. Please take a look."
Xu Yi took it 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 huge advantages compared to other magic machinery chambers, it is impossible for them to really monopolize all the magic machinery market.
Because the large-scale layoffs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce inevitably greatly affect production capacity, many buyers who have already placed orders are unable to receive goods on time.
Even if the product quality and performance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce exceeds the magic machinery of other chambers of commerce in all aspects, in order to obtain the magic machinery they need, many buyers still choose to order from other magic machinery chambers.
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Xu Yi asked Kennard in confusion.
Kennard smiled bitterly: "Sir, have you not noticed it yet? This is the order statistics we have now, but if you look at the time, you will find that in the past month, our Chamber of Commerce has received nearly half of the new orders received by our Chamber of Commerce in the past month compared to the same period last year. This means that many buyers have lost confidence in our Chamber of Commerce, which is a very serious problem."
Xu Yi smiled slightly, not nervous.
"Losing confidence in us? This is not necessarily the case. I think they just lose patience. As long as our chamber of commerce restores production capacity, I'm sure they will still turn around and order it from our chamber of commerce."
Kennard shook his head and sighed: "Sir, it takes a lot of effort to regain the lost market again, and the effect may not be good. You see, from the order statistics, it shows that now our markets in the Kingdom of Rulson, the Principality of Milando, the Principality of Drake, and the three small principalities that have been newly opened have all shrunk a lot. According to my statistics, the losses caused by these market shrinkage alone have exceeded two million gold coins. In addition, the 3.26 million gold coins liquidated damages we paid when we fired the more than 18,000 workers, our losses in this matter this time have exceeded the terrifying five million gold coins!"
Looking at the resentment in Kennard's eyes, Xu Yi shrugged, thinking that Kennard, as the CEO of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, had such a big thing happened to the Chamber of Commerce and such a serious loss. It's no wonder he felt very stressed that he had a little complaint about himself.
However, Xu Yi did not regret this decision.
After using Pili methods to fire more than 18,000 workers who were ongoing trouble and strike in one go, the situation in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce quickly stabilized.
Now the workers in various factory workshops under the Chamber of Commerce have returned to normal working conditions.
Although the atmosphere is a little heavier than before, it actually improves some work efficiency.
In addition, the put into use of a series of automatic magic machine tools led by Sancheli has greatly improved the efficiency of all factories.
Xu Yi believes that if the workers adapt for a while, the production efficiency of various factories and workshops will be much higher than before the 18,000 workers were fired, and it will increase the overall production capacity of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Okay, in order to completely solve the problem, the loss is inevitable. Instead of always delaying and keeping this problem alive, it is better to solve it while it has not completely affected the entire chamber of commerce. Although our loss this time is more than five million gold coins, the positive effect of the comparator on the chamber of commerce after solving this problem is very worthwhile." Xu Yi said seriously.
Kennard was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
Even if he was so sad about the losses of the Chamber of Commerce, as the CEO in charge of administrative affairs, he actually knew better than Xu Yi how serious the problems behind this strike were.
Although the solution adopted by Xu Yi is too intense, it is indeed the most thorough solution to the problem.
After receiving the influence of Xu Yi's merciless solution, the employees who are now staying in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are extremely loyal to the Chamber of Commerce and dare not cause any excessive things.
In addition, Xu Yi proposed to establish the workers' union of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which gave employees a formal way to give opinions to the Chamber of Commerce, effectively avoiding the possibility of making trouble and strike again because of their opinions. At the same time, it further enhanced the cohesion of the Chamber of Commerce employees.
It can be said that the current New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has been operating smoother and much more efficient overall than the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce before the general strike and large-scale layoffs.
As CEO, Kennard has a deep understanding of this.
So if you calculate it carefully, these two things will really bring negative impacts to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, that is, the loss of more than 5 million gold coins.
Although these losses are extremely serious for many other chambers of commerce, it is even more devastating for many smaller and less profitable chambers of commerce, and even for many first-class chambers of commerce, it is not a serious and unacceptable loss for the current New Air Chamber of commerce.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now fully launched in several neighboring countries, with products spread throughout almost every place in every country, and has cooperated with every country, and its revenue has been in a state of rapid growth.
According to statistics, the monthly net profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce reached an astonishing amount of 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, at the end of this year, the annual profits of the New Air Chamber of Commerce will be very likely to 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 affordable range of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
What's more, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is mainly affected by these two things to temporary orders. In the long run, as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has enough production capacity, then with the high quality and high performance of the Xinfei magic machinery, you can sell as much as you produce, and you will not have to worry about sales at all, and naturally you will not have to worry about profits.
So what really made Kennard feel very troubled was that other buyers chose other brands of magic machinery this time, and it would be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to grab this part of the market in the future.
"This is not a trouble, in fact... this is what I want to see." Xu Yi smiled. "I have been thinking about how to let other brands of magic machinery enter a new market. Now that this happens, others have taken the initiative to turn their attention to other brands of magic machinery, which has saved me a lot of effort."
Kennard couldn't help rolling his eyes.
After working with Xu Yi for so long, he certainly knew that Xu Yi's always ideal was to let the magic industry spread throughout the continent, rather than just hoping that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce, would occupy the entire continent.
For ordinary businessmen, being stolen from the market is naturally abolished, but in Xu Yi's opinion, this is actually a welcome view.
After thinking about it, Kennard was not confused about this issue, but raised another question.
"Sir, although you have no objection to the market being stolen, due to the impact of this incident, several countries have suspended their intention to cooperate with our chamber of commerce. Even the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Riccafu have turned their attention to other chambers of commerce and intend to cooperate with other chambers of commerce in magic machinery. You must pay attention to this, right?"
"Well... this is a problem. But the problem is not that they do not cooperate with our chamber of commerce, but that cooperation with other chambers of commerce may cause these two principalities to go the wrong way, wasting time, manpower and material resources in vain. Maybe it will make these two principalities disgusted with the magic industry, which is not good."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and continued: "Let's do this, investigate which chambers of commerce these two principalities choose to cooperate, and then we find these chambers of commerce and inform them of the standards we set, hoping that they can strictly implement them. If they don't want to, they will bear the consequences."
Xu Yi's tone was very calm, but his words were absolutely unquestionable domineering.
The 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 nodded and responded without showing any surprise.
"What about the Principality of Norton and Rikafu? How should we deal with it?" Kennard asked again.
"Send someone to contact them and say that our chamber of commerce is willing to cooperate with them in magical machinery that other chambers of commerce cannot involve." Xu Yi replied.
Kennard was shocked: "Sir, 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 them."
"What about military magic machinery?" Kennard asked carefully.
Xu Yi glanced at him: "What do you think?"
Seeing Xu Yi's eyes, Kennard let out a sigh of relief.
No matter how generous the president is, no matter how much he thinks about other chambers of commerce, and how he regards promoting the magic industry to the entire continent as his ideal, he still has a bottom line and persistence.
Military magic machinery is a powerful weapon that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce enjoys alone, and can be regarded as the ace of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Before the New Air Chamber of Commerce is so powerful that it is unrivaled, it is best to hold it in your own hands. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
