Chapter 163 Xiyu's Dilemma

After Fan Mingzhe left in embarrassment, Xiao Fan immediately froze in place.

Zhou Ran turned out to be the big boss behind Xiyu?

For a moment, Xiao Fan only felt that his back was covered in cold sweat. If Fan Mingzhe stood by him, he would not be afraid of Zhou Ran, but now, Fan Mingzhe has run away, obviously abandoning him directly.

Without Fan Mingzhe, what did he use to bargain with Zhou Ran and the others?

At this time, he saw Zhou Ran looking at him with a cold expression.

"You can get out." Zhou Ran said indifferently.

"No, you can't fire me. I have worked in the planning department for more than four years. Without me, the planning department would not be able to operate at all." Xiao Fan hurriedly retorted after hearing this.

In the past few years, he has only cared about his needs, and there is not much real material. Once he loses this job, it will be difficult for him to find a suitable job.

"Really? I don't care." Zhou Ran said disdainfully.

Not to mention that Xiao Fan doesn't have much real ability at first glance. Even if he is really talented, there are not a thousand or eight hundred talents who can replace Xiao Fan in the entire Yu'an City.

"President Zhang, I've been with you for so long, you can't kick me for no reason." Xiao Fan said anxiously.

He still has ten years to pay off his mortgage. He just bought a BMW 3 Series earlier this year. If he loses his job, he will really die.

Zhang Yuan looked at Xiao Fan calmly, and said lightly, "You should have expected today, I don't want to make things too ugly."

Xiao Fan has done a lot of dirty things in order to please Fan Mingzhe in the past two years, but he had to turn a blind eye for Xiyu.

"Get him out." Zhou Ran said indifferently.

When the two security guards heard the words, they immediately raised Xiao Fan.

"Boss Zhou, I was wrong, please let me go, my son has just entered junior high school, and my old mother is still lying in the hospital..." Xiao Fan's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.

After only Zhang Yuan, Zhou Ran and Xiao Jingyu were left in the planning department, Zhang Yuan sighed heavily, looked at Zhou Ran apologetically and said, "I've let you down."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Ran asked with a frown.

For this reason, Zhang Yuan, the boss, is also aggrieved.

"Xu Chenxuan, you should know." Zhang Yuan said bitterly.

Zhou Ran nodded, Xu Chenxuan is one of the top retail brands in China, and at the same time, it is also the industry of the Jiuchuan Xu family in the secular world.

"Xu Chenxuan's person in charge in Yu'an is named Tao Guoyuan, and Fan Mingzhe has a sister named Fan Mingjing, who is Tao Guoyuan's mistress and is also the vice president of Xiyu." Zhang Yuan explained slowly.

Zhou Ran heard the words, and he had already guessed it in his heart.

"Xiyu has been able to persist until now under the suppression of Yuerong Group, and it is all supported by Fan Mingjing's contacts. Once our products do not have Xu Chenxuan's channel, it will not take long for Xiyu to go bankrupt." Zhang Yuan said helplessly.

Xiyu is more or less a brand in Yu'an, but it can't be ranked in the whole country.

There are too many big and small brands in the whole country. Today's beauty and skin care industry has entered the red sea stage. The top ten big brands account for more than 95% of the market's profits, and the rest is less than 100%. The fifth is contested by numerous small brands.

Compared with those well-known big brands, small brands like Xiyu do not have much price advantage, and their brand appeal is close to zero.

In today's increasingly fierce brand competition, more and more consumers have begun to join the team that only buys big brands. If it wasn't for the relationship between Fan Mingjing and Tao Guoyuan to help Xiyu occupy a place in Xu Chenxuan, Xiyu would have ended long ago.

Because of this, even if the Fan brothers and sisters are doing bad things in the company, he, the boss, doesn't dare to say anything more. Xiyu's sales channels are too single.

Zhou Ran frowned slightly, he didn't expect that Xiyu, who could even hold Yuerong's head in the past, has now reached this stage of the field.

"I have tried to expand channels, but without exception, all failed." Zhang Yuan said bitterly.

Big brand products are too dominant in this regard. If Xiyu wants to be competitive, it must have an advantage in price, but once the price is controlled, it means that there is no profit. Xiyu is also dying slowly. Dead end.

As Zhang Yuan was talking, his cell phone rang.

Zhang Yuan picked up the phone and answered the call directly.

After a while, he replied gloomily, "I see."

Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and his face was extremely blue.

"What happened?" Zhou Ran couldn't help asking.

"Fan Mingjing just took a long vacation." Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and replied.

Fan Mingjing's request for leave was obviously related to Fan Mingzhe. With her doting on her younger brother, Zhang Yuan had expected this kind of thing to happen.

It's just that the matter is obviously not as simple as Fan Mingjing's request for leave. I am afraid that in the past two days, Xiyu's products will be removed from Xu Chenxuan's shelves, and Xiyu's sales will drop to freezing point.

"It's really fearless." Zhou Ran sneered.

Zhang Yuan showed helplessness, took a deep look at Zhou Ran and said, "Boss Zhou, it's still too late for you to sell Xiyu. In the current environment of China, it is very difficult for Xiyu to make a comeback."

Zhang Yuan, who was well aware of the contradiction between Zhou Ran and the Zhou family, did not say a word, that is, Xiyu would never be able to win market share from the already entrenched Yuerong Group.

Exiting now is without a doubt the wisest choice.

"No hurry." Zhou Ran said with a light smile.

"Are there many members of the Fan family in the company?" At this time, Zhou Ran asked.

"There are not many people who firmly stand in their faction. Most of the employees are ordinary people. They come to work here to make some money. Most of them are just grass." Zhang Yuan replied seriously.

Zhou Ran nodded and said lightly, "If anyone has taken a long vacation with the Fan brothers and sisters in the past two days, they should all be dismissed."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan hesitated.

"I know what you're worrying about, don't worry, the departure of Fan Mingjing's faction will not shake Xiyu's foundation. In fact, at this time, it's a good thing to be able to quickly identify these employees with ulterior motives." Zhou Ran said with a light smile.

Zhang Yuan looked at Zhou Ran suspiciously. He didn't understand where Zhou Ran had such confidence. There were several company executives who stood firmly on the side of Fan's sister and brother. It would hurt to dismiss all of them.

After a while, Zhang Yuan nodded solemnly: "I understand."

In the final analysis, he is just a manager. Since the boss has already spoken, he has no reason not to obey.

Seeing this, Zhou Ran did not explain much.

Xiyu has come to this stage, in the final analysis, the core competitiveness of products is not enough.

And this will be resolved in no time.

"Take advantage of this opportunity, spend more money to recruit more talents, they will all come in handy soon." Zhou Ran said confidently.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
