Chapter 550 Raw Material Problem
Could Kavana be in a more serious situation than the Zhou Group?
"Chu Xia, you just said that we have encountered a more serious situation?" Bai Ning was a little puzzled.
"Yes, I only know a general idea, and I need him to explain the details. I only heard part of it, so I called you here." Ye Chuxia had a headache and was worried about the next situation, so she let the jewelry project manager For the person in charge.
"This is one of the directors of our Kavana Group. He is mainly responsible for the issue of jewelry raw materials. He is an authoritative person. We have to listen to what he has to say about the specific situation." Ye Chuxia introduced the identity of the person, and directly Cut to the chase.
"Zhengsheng, tell Director Bai and me about the specific situation over there!" Ye Chuxia said.
The person in charge of this jewelry project is named Liu Zhengsheng. He used to be the purchasing manager of a large jewelry company, but was later recruited by Ye Chuxia to Kavana Group to be responsible for the raw material procurement of jewelry projects.
The person in charge of the jewelry project of the Kavana Group is not just one person, but several people are in charge of their respective fields, and then Ye Chuxia himself manages and reports to Ye Chuxia separately. It is estimated that after the jewelry project develops , will designate a person to manage the entire jewelry project.
"Okay, Chairman, let me describe the situation that Kavana Group encountered in the procurement of jadeite raw materials." Liu Zhengsheng continued following Ye Chuxia's words.
Bai Ning didn't interrupt, and listened carefully to Director Liu's introduction. He wanted to see how Kavana's situation could be worse than Zhou's Group.
"It's like this. Our Kavana Group's jadeite raw material purchases have been stable before. Except for the betting on stones, the rest is directly purchased from the jade raw material merchants in Yunnan Province. We and Myanmar Not many contacts."
"But just a few days ago, a series of coups took place in Myanmar. The new general did not want to provide jade merchants with raw materials at the original price, and raised the price substantially. Even the Zhou Group in Hong Kong and other large jewelry companies The group has also been implicated. At the beginning, they were the most affected companies. The raw material procurement of our small and medium-sized groups and those retail investors is relatively stable, because the situation abroad is different from that in China.”
Liu Zhengsheng paused for a moment and continued: "However, after the Zhou Group failed to sign a contract with the Burmese side, all rough jadeites to our country were prohibited from being exported, and even some scraps were not allowed to be sold to us. Those who disobeyed were all silenced."
After Bai Ning finished listening, he didn't say anything. He had heard all these things from Zhou Ruhai's mouth, which was almost the same as what Liu Zhengsheng said. It's just that the information Liu Zhengsheng got now was more serious than the situation of Zhou's group some time ago.
Ye Chuxia glanced at Bai Ning, she didn't know what to do in this situation, so she had to ask Bai Ning to discuss it together.
Bai Ning didn't speak, but Ye Chuxia signaled Manager Liu to continue talking.
After receiving the instruction, Manager Liu continued to speak: "In the beginning, our small and medium-sized jadeite demand enterprises were relatively united, but the Myanmar side forcibly stopped holding the jadeite fair, and put pressure on the local and national jewelry enterprises. , Our jade merchants are short of raw materials all of a sudden. Against this background, some merchants who have a lot of raw materials hoarded before took the opportunity to raise prices."
"In addition to the hot jewelry market in recent years, everyone's enthusiasm for buying is high, and each company has a lot of orders. Some of these small and medium-sized jewelry companies couldn't sit still, and they rushed to sign contracts with them. The contract, now, only Zhou and us are left, and several smaller jewelry companies are still waiting to see. I have quietly inquired about the contract, and it is simply an unequal treaty! It is just to catch ducks on the shelves! Chairman, we what to do?"
After listening to Manager Liu's narration, Bai Ning didn't rush to speak, but went through it again in his mind, carefully thinking about the countermeasures.
Seeing this, Ye Chuxia said to Manager Liu: "Well, go back and watch it first, see if you can buy some dark materials at a low price from our jade merchants, and try to ensure our raw material supply. Regarding the matter, Director Bai and I will find a way."
Buying secret material is really a helpless move. No one knows what is in the secret material. Although the price is slightly lower than the price of the obvious material, the dark material is also a gamble. The odds are much higher than expected.
If you buy a bunch of dark materials and don't get a few good ones, the cost will be higher than directly buying bright materials, and it will be much higher.
"Okay, Chairman, Director Bai, then I will go out first, and I will report any movement from the Burmese side as soon as possible!"
After Manager Liu left, Ye Chuxia had another message to tell Bai Ning that their jadeite orders had increased suddenly recently. Although it was a good thing to have more orders, Ye Chuxia always felt that something was wrong. Instead of following all of them, they only Exceeding 20.00% of the original order, complete the order under the condition that the raw material can be continuously supplied.
After all, Kavana's situation is not very optimistic now. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The ancients are always right.
Moreover, Ye Chuxia was worried that some domestic counterparts wanted to obtain raw materials from other companies, and then serve their own jewelry companies.
"How long can our raw materials last? We will supply them normally." Bai Ning asked that Liu Zhengsheng.
"One month at most! At most! No more!" Liu Zhengsheng replied to Bai Ning.
Asking Liu Zhengsheng for raw materials now feels like asking for his life.
"Bai Ning, what do you think?" Ye Chuxia wanted to ask Bai Ning's opinion, but she couldn't make up her mind.
"Since Mr. Zhou is not willing to succumb to them, I think it's better to discuss with Mr. Zhou first? Now that Myanmar is enjoying itself, the price of jade merchants in China is also rising. If we propose to sign a contract at this time, it will definitely boost their prestige. , and the Burmese side has changed the order day and night, so there is no guarantee what will happen in the future, so we must not compromise on this matter." Bai Ning said.
"Alright, then you go first, I'll stay in the company." Ye Chuxia took it easy.
"Well, I'll go back and contact Mr. Zhou to see what he has to say." After finishing speaking, Bai Ning was ready to leave immediately. The company has too many people and it's really not suitable to talk to Mr. Zhou. This matter is of great importance. Can't let other people know.
