The day after tomorrow is the exam for Subject Two, and Jiang Chen doesn't need to panic at all. However, he still needs to show his face at the coach's place.
As soon as he arrived at the coach's place, his phone rang; it was Zhuyong calling.
"Director Jiang, our goods have filled up the warehouse these days, and customers are coming to pick them up less and less!"
"Oh, I'll be there right away!"
Jiang Chen said goodbye to the coach and headed to his company, where Zhuyong and the sales department staff were waiting for him.
"What’s going on?"
"Some customers have stopped ordering our goods recently, while others have reduced their orders. For example, Tianfa Trade Services Company has completely stopped ordering our clothing, and Nangang Shopping Mall has significantly decreased their orders. Only Brother Industrial and Trade is maintaining their order volume. They might be exporting abroad and haven't been affected!"
What’s going on? Are they retaliating against our last payment collection?
Jiang Chen took out his phone and called Wang Zuofu.
"President Wang, what's going on? Why have you stopped ordering from our company? Do you have grievances against me?"
"Haha, Director Jiang! How could I dare to hold a grudge against you? Stopping orders from your company is purely a market behavior. Your clothing isn't selling well right now; how could I dare to order it? I believe I'm not the only company that has stopped ordering from you."
"President Wang, our clothing is perfectly fine; where's the quality issue?"
"Director Jiang, don't misunderstand. I never said your products had quality issues; I just said they aren't selling well!"
Not selling well? That’s strange! Jiang Chen hung up the phone. What should he do? He can't resort to force just because they aren't placing orders.
"Sister Li, come with me to Nangang Shopping Mall!" Jiang Chen decided to investigate in the mall.
The two quickly arrived at Nangang Shopping Mall and found the store manager.
"Manager, why has the order volume for our company's clothing decreased? Aren't you afraid I'll stop your elevator again?"
"Oh, Director Jiang, Sister Li! We determine our orders based on market sales conditions. Your clothing hasn't been selling well recently, so of course we are ordering less. Stopping your elevator won't help! I can't just order goods to pile them up in my own warehouse!"
"How could this happen? Manager, have you analyzed the reasons?"
"I only care about our mall's overall sales situation. We monitor and analyze service quality, environmental hygiene, and competitors in the mall. We keep statistics on sales volumes for each product brand—ordering more for those that sell well and less for those that don't. As for why some brands sell poorly, we won't analyze that; it's up to the manufacturers."
That makes sense! Jiang Chen had nothing more to say after hearing this.
"Alright then, Manager, we won't disturb you any longer; we'll find out the reasons ourselves! Sister Li, let's go check out the clothing area!"
When they arrived at the clothing area, they indeed found that there were very few customers in the Dongsheng Clothing Brand section. In contrast, the area with the most customers was the Fortune Clothing Brand section.
"Big Sister, why don't you want to go to the Dongsheng Clothing Brand area to shop for clothes?" Jiang Chen asked as he stopped a young woman.
"Don't you know? The quality of Dongsheng's clothing is terrible!" The woman responded, her tone revealing her willingness to answer, especially since Jiang Chen appeared friendly. However, this answer only left Jiang Chen more puzzled.
"Terrible quality? What do you mean by that? I was planning to buy some!" Sister Li, pretending to be a customer nearby, quickly interjected upon hearing the woman's comment.
"What do I mean? They use substandard fabric; how can the clothes be of good quality?" the woman said indignantly.
Jiang Chen was taken aback. What substandard fabric are we using? Someone must be spreading rumors!
"Big Sister, how do you know that Dongsheng Company uses substandard fabric?"
"Didn’t people distribute flyers at the mall entrance every day a few days ago? The flyers included a material inspection report from Dongsheng Company, which showed that the fabric was substandard!"
Damn it, someone is indeed up to no good! They’re even distributing flyers, and there are photos of the report, indicating an insider leak.
"Just because the report shows the fabric is substandard doesn’t mean Dongsheng Company is using it. What if they returned those defective materials?"
"This..." The woman seemed to find his point reasonable. "We don’t think that much. What if Dongsheng Company ended up using the substandard materials? There are plenty of clothing brands; why should I specifically buy from Dongsheng Brand? It’s not even a famous brand!"
That’s true! "By the way, Big Sister, do you still have that flyer? Can you show it to me?"
"Who carries that kind of thing around? I threw it away after reading! If you want to see it, go look in the trash! Maybe there’s still some in the pile that hasn’t been cleaned up yet!"
"Alright, thank you!"
Jiang Chen and Sister Li left the mall and found two flyers in a trash bin at the entrance. Upon unfolding one, they saw it contained information just as the woman had described: it claimed that clothing made by Dongsheng Group was of poor quality due to the use of substandard fabric.
The other flyer praised Fortune Clothing Company’s product quality and included a material inspection report showing that their fabric was up to standard. Moreover, it stated that the fabric was supplied by Abu Company.
Damn! This clearly indicates that Fortune Clothing Company is up to something! No wonder they have the most customers in the clothing brand area. Jiang Chen immediately thought of Gao Tianqi! Is this his doing or something orchestrated by their general manager?
"Let’s head back to the company, Sister Li!"
On the way back, Jiang Chen called Lin Yin.
"Sister Lin, are you free? Come by my company when you can!"
"Alright! When Chairman Jiang summons me, I have to make time even if I'm busy!" Lin Yin's cheerful voice came through on the phone.
Once back at the company, Jiang Chen immediately told Zhuyong about the flyers.
"I'll call in the quality control manager and three incoming inspection staff!" Zhuyong understood there was an insider involved. These four were most likely responsible for leaking the inspection reports.
Jiang Chen nodded. "Okay. First, bring the quality control manager into your office but don’t mention anything about this!"
A moment later, the Quality Control Department manager walked in.
"Director Jiang!" Upon seeing Jiang Chen, the manager greeted him politely.
"Have a seat!" Jiang Chen observed his demeanor and had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Have there been any quality issues with our products recently?"
The Quality Control Department manager shook his head, "No!"
"Then why are our clothing items not selling?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.
The manager was taken aback, "Well... I can't figure that out either! Director Jiang, could it be an issue from the Sales Department?"
"No, from what I understand, the problem lies within your Quality Control Department! That's why I called you here! Think about it, where do you think the issue is?"
The Quality Control Department manager looked confused and seemed to feel quite wronged. Poor sales couldn't possibly be the fault of the Sales Department, could it?
Jiang Chen understood what he was thinking, "How about this, have your incoming inspectors come in one by one!"
Huh? Incoming inspectors? Shouldn't we be calling the outgoing inspectors instead?
