Chapter 124 Ning Yuechen discovers another side of Bai Yi
Ning Yuechen quickly came to the company's conference room on the 20th floor with the expedited printed documents.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard a deep middle-aged male voice coming from inside: "You want reform and innovation, we have no objection. After all, only by keeping pace with the times can an enterprise develop in the long run."
Ning Yuechen walked in lightly, and while handing out documents to everyone, his eyes swept over the middle-aged man who was speaking.
This person was the partner who worked side by side with Bai Jingyuan when he founded the group, and is also the company's second largest shareholder.
Wang Qingzhi took a sip of water, soothed his throat and continued, "All the old employees of the company know that one of the main reasons why the Huanyou mobile phone has been able to gain a place in the electronic products industry is that the quality and functions of the mobile phones produced by our group are more advantageous than those of other brands."
"Now, just because of a small problem, you directly replaced the largest supplier that has cooperated with us for more than ten years. Isn't that equivalent to destroying the reputation of Huanyou?"
Bai Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at him calmly and said, "The main reason why the Huanyou phone can achieve today's sales performance is indeed because it has absolute advantages in quality and function. But it has nothing to do with the supplier. I made the decision to cancel the cooperation not only because the product they provided this time has quality defects."
She glanced at everyone present and said in a steady voice: "The foundation of a company's long-term development lies in products and technology. The most important and fundamental reason why Bai Group's electronic products can be recognized by consumers is that we have core technology and strong R&D capabilities. Otherwise, the hundreds of millions of R&D expenses each year can be directly given to suppliers. Why spend so much time and effort to train technical personnel?"
Wang Qingzhi looked unhappy: "That's true, but having a long-term and stable partner is also a guarantee of product quality."
"Uncle Wang, the quality assurance you're talking about is the huge red envelopes that suppliers give to the senior executives in the purchasing department every year?"
Bai Yi glanced at Ning Yuechen who had retreated to the side, and said, "Please take a look at the two documents in front of you. One is the price list of all products of the Electric Material Company during the period of cooperation with our company, and the other is the price list of the same products of other companies in the same period that I asked the marketing department to compile. I believe you can also find a problem from the comparison of various data in these two documents, that is, some suppliers are far superior to the Electric Material Company in terms of hardware quality, performance and after-sales service, but the price is half as low."
She looked at the senior managers of various departments flipping through the documents and concluded: "Canceling the cooperation with the electric material company will not only have no impact on our product production, but also save a lot of money. I think everyone would be more willing to use this money for product research and development, or distribute it to everyone as employee benefits. What do you think?"
Under her combination of kindness and force, the top management of various departments naturally would not have any objections. After all, judging from the data presented in these two documents alone, the amount of bribery by the Electrical Materials Company was indeed staggering and had already risen to the level of a criminal case.
The general manager of the R&D department spoke first: "Boss Bai, you are right. Whether it is Huanyou or other products, the reason why we can achieve today's sales results is entirely due to our strong R&D technology. And suppliers like this who are dishonest and rely on bribery to obtain cooperation are completely contrary to our company's business philosophy."
"Yes, yes, the kickbacks are really huge. They are enough to cover the research and development expenses for the second half of the year. It's time to change it."
"I agree to replace the Electric Materials Group."
"I agree."
Not only the top management, but two other veterans of the board of directors also came out to express their support.
Bai Yi looked at Wang Qingzhi and curled his lips slightly: "Uncle Wang, what do you think?"
The hard evidence was laid out on the table, and everyone present unanimously condemned the supplier. Wang Qingzhi naturally could not refute it, and could only say with a sullen face: "Since the Electric Materials Group is so dishonest, let's terminate the cooperation."
Bai Yi nodded, looked at everyone present with a sharp gaze, and said word by word: "As for the several senior executives in the purchasing department who accepted bribes, I will also cancel their positions and recover all the stolen money according to the law. This money will be used as additional year-end bonus benefits for all employees of the company this year."
What this means is that these people will not be held legally responsible, but they must go and return the money they have swallowed over the years.
As soon as she finished speaking, all the senior executives present showed joy on their faces.
You know, the Electric Material Company has been a supplier for more than ten years. If all the stolen money is recovered, even if it is divided equally among each employee, it will be a considerable benefit. Not to mention that if it is distributed according to job level, those present will receive a larger proportion. They are naturally very surprised and happy to see this result.
Ning Yuechen looked at the people who left with happy faces, and then began to clean up the meeting room silently.
Before she joined the company, her impression of Bai Yi was that he was aloof and cold, acted in strange and vicious ways, and had no trace of humanity in him. He was like a perfect but emotionless robot.
But after working together for a month, she realized that she actually had certain stereotypes about the other party. The most typical example was that the other party was born in a powerful family and enjoyed a life of glory and honor since childhood, but could empathize with the sadness and difficulties of ordinary working-class people.
Precisely because she herself had experienced falling from a life of luxury to being trapped by money, she felt how surprising it was that someone like Bai Yi, who grew up in a capital environment, could achieve this.
Since Bai Yi took office, the overall employee welfare of the Bai Group has not only been raised to a higher level, but all the new and popular employee benefits have been implemented, especially maternity leave for female employees.
It has to be said that although Bai Yi is not a good person, she is an entrepreneur with vision and warmth. It is no wonder that although she has not been in office for a long time, she has won the recognition and support of all employees.
After cleaning up the meeting room, Ning Yuechen went to get the documents to be signed today, and then came to the door of the chairman's office.
She looked at the half-open door, hesitated for a few seconds and knocked. No one responded, so she subconsciously looked inside.
There was no one at the desk, so she couldn't help but lean over to take a look again.
When Bai Yi came out of the rest room, he saw someone standing at the door and looking around, so he said directly, "Come in."
Ning Yuechen was startled by the sudden sound, and at the same time felt inexplicably guilty, so he quickly lowered his head and walked in.
She and Bai Yi walked to the desk at almost the same time. When the other person passed by her, she smelled the familiar smell of cigarettes again, and she knew what this person had just done in the lounge.
