After getting Zhou Song's affirmative reply, Brother Dong finally felt a little better.
But thinking about the joke I made with the courier at the grassroots level this morning, I still feel ashamed.
After Zhou Song left, Brother Dong slowly calmed down and began to think carefully about the ins and outs of the incident.
Although Zhou Song has explained that the "smart delivery" launched by Phoenix Factory is just the simplest route planning function, which is different from the function Jingdong wants to achieve.
But upon closer examination, it seems difficult to explain.
The simplest point is that I personally reached a cooperation agreement between Jingdong and Phoenix Factory to produce express tricycles, but why did Phoenix Factory launch an express tricycle alone?
What about the tricycles cooperated by Jingdong and Phoenix Factory?
Moreover, when I visited the Phoenix Factory before, I found that Phoenix was just an ordinary bicycle company and did not produce electric tricycles!
Thinking of this, Brother Dong became even more confused!
It seems that all this can only be truly clarified after Zhou Xiaofeng, who is responsible for this matter, comes.
He put the matter aside in his mind and thought about the "Rapid One" he saw this morning.
Unexpectedly, this Phoenix factory, which originally only cooperated with Shancheng City leader Gao Ming in appearance, turned out that the overall workmanship was also very good.
Not only did I like the styling, but I was also able to develop software independently.
I really underestimated Phoenix Factory.
Brother Dong sighed a few words and put in another day's work.
When it was approaching noon, Zhou Xiaofeng, the person in charge of the Southwest Region, who flew in from Shancheng City early in the morning, also arrived at the Jingdong headquarters.
Zhou Xiaofeng has been nervous recently.
When he saw the Phoenix Factory launched the "Quick No. 1" express tricycle, he had been feeling uneasy.
He has been responsible for the cooperation between Jingdong and Phoenix Factory’s electric tricycles!
Now more than two months have passed, not only is there not even a prototype vehicle for cooperation, but Phoenix has launched its own new express tricycle!
This is what Mr. Liu needs to know, and he really doesn’t know how to explain it!
So as soon as he received a call from the office this morning, he immediately booked a flight to fly to the headquarters.
This matter must be spoken face to face to make it clear!
When Zhou Xiaofeng walked into Brother Dong's office, before Brother Dong could say anything, he started to explain:
"Mr. Liu, I have been urging you to place orders for cooperation with Phoenix Factory."
"But the people at the headquarters have been holding on and the design has not been finalized. I really have no choice."
Brother Dong frowned:
"The people at the headquarters are stuck and won't let go?"
"Not a single one was produced?"
Zhou Xiaofeng nodded and added:
“Not a single one was produced!”
"Later I inquired and found out that people from the project department at the headquarters did not approve of the Phoenix Bicycle Factory."
"And, because the headquarters has signed an order with 'Xinlong' before, the first batch of test vehicles are all Xinlong's tricycles."
Xinlong tricycle?
Brother Dong understood it as soon as he heard it.
Probably the headquarters project was worried that the Phoenix Factory's tricycles would not meet the standards, and it was also because of its own reputation, so it kept delaying the Phoenix Factory's order.
Being able to withstand his own pressure and never try Phoenix's express tricycle, Brother Dong felt mixed emotions for a while, not knowing whether he was happy or worried.
But he also figured out why the Phoenix Factory suddenly launched its own express tricycle despite clearly cooperating with Jingdong.
Unexpectedly, I had good intentions to take care of Shancheng's leader Gaoming, but things turned out not to be pretty.
Thinking of this, I felt a little sorry for Phoenix.
He suddenly remembered the young boss of the Phoenix Factory. It seemed that the next time Zhi went to Shancheng, he would have the opportunity to explain it in person.
While Brother Dong was busy, the phone in Hu Lai's office rang at the Phoenix Factory headquarters in Shancheng City.
Hu Lai picked up the phone.
"Hey, I'm Hu Lai."
"Mr. Hu, Shunfeng Group just called to make an appointment. I hope to meet you this afternoon. Do you think you have time to meet?"
The voice of office secretary Wang Li came from the other end of the phone.
Hu Lai was surprised.
Tailwind?
What do people along the wind want to do with me?
As soon as this idea came out, he immediately realized the next moment, was it for the new "Quick Number One"?
The only thing that can connect Phoenix Factory and Shunfeng Group is the "Quick No. 1" express tricycle.
He pondered for a moment and then told Wang Li: "Please confirm the time with the other party. It will be OK at two o'clock this afternoon."
After confirming the time, Hu Lai hung up the phone.
He didn't rush to start working. He sat quietly and thought for a while, and he was 90% sure that Tailwind was coming for "Expedited No. 1".
In this case, let's simply notify Kai Ping to attend the meeting together.
…
Hu Lai made preparations, and when Shunfeng and his party arrived at the Phoenix Factory, it was only 1:30 in the afternoon.
Kaiping Ping waited at the entrance of the factory in advance, and soon led the two of them to the reception room.
At this time, Hu Lai was already waiting in the reception room. Seeing Shunfeng and the others coming in, he politely stood up and greeted them.
Shunfeng and the other two also saw Hu Lai, their expressions were startled, and their eyes were quite shocked.
They had done enough homework before coming and learned about the situation at the Phoenix Factory.
The Phoenix Factory, which has suddenly emerged, not only sells its bicycle "Nirvana" domestically, but its core product "Rainbow" is also sold abroad.
Not only do they have excellent quality and reputation, but even Didi and Xiaoma, the top leaders in the electric motorcycle industry, are overwhelmed by Phoenix's technology.
I didn’t expect that the CEO of such a brand with leading technology in the industry would be so young!
However, after the brief surprise, both of them recovered quickly.
The leader put his briefcase on the coffee table without leaving a trace, and walked towards Hu Lai with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Hu, I am Zhang Ke of Shunfeng Group. I am mainly responsible for daily operations."
After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he pointed to the colleague behind him and introduced: "This is Fan Liqin, a senior engineer from the technical department of our headquarters."
"Hello, Mr. Hu."
The two were quite polite and handed over their business cards.
With a smile on his face, Hu Lai took the business card and looked at it, and immediately felt something was wrong.
Zhang Ke's business card holds the rank of vice president of Shunfeng Group, and he is also the vice president of the very important operation and maintenance department.
And Fan Liqin is not just a simple man, he is a senior engineer in the technical department.
Shunfeng actually sent two people of this level here!
What is the reason for this?!
Because of "Rapid One"?
He was surprised in his heart, but there was no trace on his face. They shook hands with several people, exchanged some pleasantries and sat down.
After Zhang Ke made some polite remarks, he went straight to the topic.
"Mr. Hu, when we come to your company this time, we hope to sign a batch of orders for 5,000 "Quick No. 1" vehicles."
Kaiping Ping on the side suddenly became happy. He glanced at Hu Lai, only to find that Hu Lai just nodded calmly, as if he was expecting it.
Hu Lai said calmly: "There is no problem with this matter. You can discuss it with our Factory Director Zhang in detail."
Zhang Ke was surprised at Hu Lai's calmness. The order for 5,000 vehicles was worth tens of millions.
He took another look and his tone became more cautious:
"Mr. Hu, we are here this time to discuss something important with you."
When Hu Lai heard this, he immediately became energetic.
He had long known that Zhang Ke and the two came in person, and it was impossible just for the order of "Rapid No. 1".
If you want to place an order, you can just send a business inquiry letter to determine the price and then send someone to sign the contract. Why bother to go to the mountain city to negotiate with yourself?
