Gazing at the Rainbow

Chapter 37: Storm is coming

   As the end of the year is approaching, everyone is busy, and Lin Yao is no exception. She has several orders that need to be completed and shipped before the Spring Festival. During this time, she rushes to rush the goods every day.

   "Hello, Mr. Zhang? This is Xiaolin from Lingyun Industrial. The delivery time for the batch of rocker arms ordered by our company is approaching. I don't know how long it will take to complete it?"

   Mr. Zhang said in Mandarin with a strong local accent: "Miss Lin, the factory has been too busy recently, and everyone is in a hurry to ship goods. Let's do it, can you reply in the afternoon?"

   Lin Yao was very refreshing, "Of course, I'll call you in the afternoon! By the way, Mr. Zhang, what time do you think is more convenient to call you?"

   "Uh..." Mr. Zhang paused and asked tentatively: "Four o'clock in the afternoon?"

   Lin Yao agreed, "Okay, I'll call you at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then you can confirm the earliest delivery time for us."

   Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, no problem."

   Lin Yao did not continue to talk with him, "Then thank Mr. Zhang first, let's get in touch this afternoon."

   On the other end of the phone, Mr. Zhang smiled heartily. He kept saying: "You're welcome, you're welcome."

   After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao made a note on the notebook: Call Longzheng Machinery Manager Zhang at four o'clock in the afternoon to confirm the delivery time of the rocker arm.

   She is not a rookie just out of campus, nor is she the first day to deal with these suppliers.

  According to her experience, these small factories with dozens of people often have uncountable delivery times in contracts. In general, the boss says that he will arrange which goods to arrange first, which is very flexible.

   If Mr. Zhang really does this, then the delivery time of this batch of goods will not have to wait until the afternoon to reply.

   When Mr. Zhang said, "The factory is too busy... I will reply in the afternoon...", it shows that he is perfunctory and procrastinating.

   It's not necessarily that he was deliberately procrastinating, but by the end of the year, everyone was in a hurry to ship the goods, and there were many people who were rushing ahead.

   For example, she reminded the manager once every three or five days, and other companies reminded the manager three or five times a day, and the manager might arrange the goods from other companies first.

   If she doesn’t keep an eye on it, she may not be able to ship the order she placed during the Spring Festival holiday.

   Of course, it’s not that the tighter the urging the better, the urging too tight is easy to be annoying and the gains outweigh the losses.

   As the boss of a factory, Mr. Zhang, since he has already given an afternoon reply, he is generally unwilling to change it to an morning reply. Therefore, as a small internal worker, Lin Yao has no choice but to agree. But she can go ahead and propose that in the afternoon, she will continue to follow this matter. In this way, Mr. Zhang will lose the opportunity to use the drag-word technique again.

   Therefore, no matter what you say or do, it is very important to master a degree, and this degree needs to be calculated slowly in the process of work.

  ******

   Coincidentally, as soon as Lin Yao finalized the delivery time with several suppliers, Mr. Wen called.

   "Good afternoon~! Please help me find Kobayashi~."

   Lin Yao's impression of this Mr. Wen is not unattainable. She cheered up and said in a hearty voice: "Good afternoon! Mr. Wen, I am Xiaolin."

   "Wow~!" Mr. Wen on the other end of the phone exclaimed, "Did you have a full meal today, so you speak so carefully~savvy~?"

   Lin Yao checked the time. It was after four o’clock in the afternoon, who would eat at this point and what would he eat?

   But if she is not "energetic" enough, wouldn't Mr. Wen look for the leader to "talk" again?

   Lin Yao's lips raised slightly, "Mr. Wen, I eat very much every day."

   She is really not bragging about this point. In terms of food, she has never met an opponent in Lingyun Industry.

  Mr. Wen laughed lowly, "Ha~, you can hear it."

   Lin Yao realized that she seemed to have fallen into the other party's routine again, "I don't know what instructions Mr. Wen has?"

  Mr. Wen was in a good mood, and slowly said: "Yes~, when~ of course~ there are~, I call~, I want to know~what kind of goods can I ship this month~?"

  Mr. Wen originally asked Lin Yun about these, but Mr. Wen's orders were many and trivial. The questions he asked were meticulous, and Lin Yun rarely answered them completely.

   Lin Yun needs to ask Lin Yao to help answer from time to time. Sometimes she can't tell her clearly, so she asks Lin Yao to answer the phone.

   Gradually, Mr. Wen remembered that Lin Yun should be consulted for bargaining. After placing an order, Lin Yao should be asked about shipping.

Lin Yao replied like a few treasures: "Sync. Ring and O/C, Cover can be completed in about a week, and CenterBearing and DragLink will take two weeks. These goods are put together to fill a 20' container, and the interval between these goods It is not long, it is recommended to ship together.

   These factories are located in the province, and the delivery time takes about 1-2 days. After the goods are put into the warehouse, it is expected that the ship can be sailed in about a week, and the fastest shipping time is expected to be in the middle of next month. "

  In other words, the goods will be completed this month, but the goods will not be shipped next month.

  Mr. Wen was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and said unhappy: "Why do you need this~ for a long time~?!"

   Lin Yao drew the following two clues from the questions asked by Mr. Wen:

   Clue 1, he knows which goods are completed this month;

   Clue 2, he thought it would be shipped this month, but the reality is not the case, so he was disappointed.

  In the process of international trade, customers always come to ask about the delivery date/delivery time.

However, the understanding of delivery date/shipment time between exporters and foreign customers is somewhat different. Exporters believe that delivery date/shipment time = the date when the factory completes production, while in the eyes of foreign customers, delivery date/shipment Time = the sailing date on the bill of lading.

   For example, what Mr. Wen wants to know is not only when the factory completes production, but also includes the deadline for completion of the series of tasks including the completion of production → freight into designated warehouse → completion of customs declaration → cargo loading → ship sailing.

   Lin Yao, in order to avoid making Mr. Wen mistakenly think that the cargo will be on board/onboard in two weeks, she has to explain to him as soon as possible.

   If she does not explain clearly now, Mr. Wen will be even more disappointed in two weeks.

  At that time, he may doubt Lin Yao's work efficiency, or he may suspect that Lingyun Industrial does not pay enough attention to him and his orders, deliberately delaying, or even cheating.

Lin Yao took the trouble to explain again the process of domestic export goods and the time required, and then proposed: "If you need a product very urgently, I can urge the factory more, so that it can be about a week in advance. Of course, you can also produce Sync.Ring and O/C and Cover first."

  Mr. Wen sighed lowly and said: "No need~, for me~, there will be no problem with the shipment in the middle of next month~"

   Lin Yao could not help but sigh in secret when he heard Mr. Wen say this. She guessed that when Mr. Wen contacted Lin Yun before, Lin Yun should have mentioned the shipment at the end of this month, so she rounded it back calmly.

   "In fact, Mr. Lin and I want to ship faster than you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But we are worried that the factory will use this as an excuse to lower the quality, and we will be too anxious if there is a problem."

Mr. Wen deeply agrees, "That’s it~, ah~, let’s not rush~, quality~quantity is the most important~! Don’t urge them to be too anxious~, let them follow the normal steps~, make all my products Good~"

   Lin Yao has a sincere tone, "You are so wise!"

Mr. Wen was amused by Lin Yao's straightforward flattery. He chuckled softly and said, "You would think like this~, I'm also very happy~, I got one earlier One week~a week late~, in fact~it doesn’t make a big difference~, but if~they make me careless about the product, it will cause me a lot of trouble~annoyance~"

   Lin Yao nodded and said yes.

Mr. Wen's mood improved, and he opened the chatterbox, "To be honest~, I also cooperate with other domestic companies~... Whenever something goes wrong~, they always use one of these reasons to perfuse me~. In fact, I still have this problem. I can afford it, and I haven’t thought about pursuing them, but their attitude makes me very chilling~heart~."

   On this day, Mr. Wen talked a lot with Lin Yao. Lin Yao listened most of the time, and only answered a few "Um.", "Yes.", "Yes."

  Mr. Wen kept talking about his experience of working in the neon country when he was young and going to Nanyang to start a business as an adult.

   In this way, the chatting time is naturally not short. During the period, Lin Yun walked in and out of her office several times and found Lin Yao talking on the phone.

  Mr. Wen's accent is very distinctive, it is impossible for Lin Yun not to hear it, but...

   Lin Yun didn't say anything, and went back to his office unhappy, yes, just unhappy.
