It took only two days for a new order of 60,000 to be completed.
Then it was a breeze.
60,000 were completed and an additional 80,000 orders were placed within a week.
When even 80,000 were completely beaten in two days, an order of 150,000 was placed the following week, but it took only 4 days to make all of them.
In that way, the total amount of time that Ceron took to make all the 300,000 households that Rocco needed for a month was only 10 days.
It was a phenomenal production speed that even a small company could not believe.
Anyway, thanks to Ceron’s performance, Rocco, who completely filled the shortage, not only automatically extended once a month, but also stopped negotiating with Chinese factories that demanded a long contract period and guaranteed quantity and supplied all the necessary quantities. He pushed into Ceron and succeeded in completely closing the hole caused by the coup.
It’s really good news for Rocco’s management, who has been running such a smooth business.
“They say that the coup will end early and the factory will restart in a few days.”
It was said that the factory would be restarted with the end of the coup, which was the cause of the incident.
However, the reaction of the management, including CEO Andrew, who heard the story was strange.
“Then you are saying that production will resume again?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm······.”
Andrew said after thinking for a moment.
“Give me the European sales slip again.”
At first, I was just satisfied with the insanely fast production speed and quality.
Thanks to you, I was able to completely fill the hole.
However, as shoes made in Korea were released to Europe in earnest, the story took a different direction.
That’s the net profit of Roco Europe.
Andrew said, looking at the sales sheet and licking his lips.
“You’re making a profit even after you advertise like that…”
Brands entering new markets like Rocco usually focus on marketing using famous local celebrities or celebrities.
Of course, you need money to do that kind of marketing.
Therefore, although the sales growth rate was fast, Roco Europe continued to be in the red by pouring a considerable amount of money into marketing expenses.
However, the situation changed when the plant, which was shut down, replaced the European shipments with Ceron’s and distributed them in Europe.
Of course, the overwhelmingly low delivery price compared to other manufacturers increased the ratio of net profit that Rocco took, and thanks to that, even though they spent so little money on advertisements, they made a profit.
I was prepared to bear the loss and was pouring money, but since it turned into a surplus, from the point of view of Andrew, the normalization of the existing factory is rather shaky.
In this situation, to say that Seron was absent and returned to the pre-coup d’état was a story of returning to the red.
Then an executive said:
“The Ceron was consistent in quality than any other manufacturer I have seen.”
Of course, shoes that require human hands are minute, but the quality of each shoe is inevitably different.
However, Ceron’s shoes were consistent as if they had been printed by a machine.
“Especially, the ability to control production using skeletons is absolutely absurd. Ordinarily, workers are kept in a subspace and only take them out when necessary to work.”
Surprised by the overwhelming speed of production, I asked how this was possible, and Jihyuk Han showed me a video he had taken himself.
Hundreds of skeletons were taken out on the spot and rolled for 24 hours to complete the production of the ordered shoes, and then the skeletons that had no work were put back into the subspace.
“This is incomparable to a human worker in terms of efficiency. Besides, in this way, there is no need to worry about stock, just order and sell whenever there is a shortage.”
If we receive an additional order for 100,000 sets, would it be efficient to hire 100 employees and make 3,000 pieces every day for a month, or would it be efficient to hire 1,000 employees and make them in 3 days?
Of course, it is predominantly the former.
If all the work is finished in three days, those 1,000 people will only be paying the labor cost until a new job is created.
However, Ceron is the only manufacturer in the world where the ridiculous latter is possible.
Even 24 hours work is possible, so the efficiency is even higher compared to human workers who only work 8 to 12 hours.
“This time alone, the DP-10 model was originally scheduled to produce 10,000 units last month. But suddenly, word of mouth spread, and there was a shortage. So, I was able to respond quickly thanks to an additional order of 40,000 feet from Ceron. If it wasn’t for Ceron, we would have had to coordinate the cost of adding production lines with manufacturers and including them in the contract, with just one phone call.”
Ceron, who responds immediately after placing an order, and an existing manufacturer that moves around talking about all kinds of circumstances even if they make an urgent order for additional quantities.
Of course, it is true that the existing manufacturers are normal and Ceron is abnormal, but once you experience the abnormalities, the behavior of the existing manufacturers is frustrating and slow.
“CEO, how much money do we lose from inventory volume in a year?”
Andrew said with a firm expression on his face.
“More than a million dollars.”
Inventories left over due to failure to forecast demand or contract for guaranteed volume.
Naturally, the only way to deal with this inventory was to sell it cheaply as a carryover product or dumping.
And in the process, Rocco loses millions of dollars a year.
“you’re right. However, it is a different story when you make a deal with Ceron. Once you place an order, it’s not like the finished product is poured out within a few days. That’s enough to keep inventory to a minimum and order from Ceron whenever you need it. This way we can minimize the cost of lost inventory.”
“So what do you mean?”
“Delivery prices, efficiencies, and inventory management are nothing that makes them superior to traditional manufacturers. You need to make a formal contract with Ceron to increase your transactions. Not doing this would be a loss.”
Andrew thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
“That’s right. To be honest, when I placed an order with Ceron, it was to the point that I felt so frustrated with the work of other factories. Delivery prices are high, production is slow, and we can’t control the quantity at will.”
All of the executives nodded their heads at Andrew’s words.
“I felt the same way.”
“A lot of talk about this and that… Huh.”
Andrew’s words made more sense to us because they were executives who had to go through all sorts of hardships to save not only existing companies but also other factories in the recent coup d’etat.
“good. Let’s make a formal contract with Seron.”
*
Finally, the manager brought the contract officially sent by Rocco.
okay.
It’s not polite if you don’t buy a service tasting like that.
The manager smiled brightly and said.
“Congratulations, Representative Han.”
Kim Deok-bae also said, clapping from the side.
“Congratulations.”
Finally, we got Rocco’s official contract.
It’s only been a few months since Kim Deok-bae started an OEM contract with a maker that only mentioned the possibility.
The company of my dreams where the maker does sales and design, the work is done by skeletons and programmers, and I lay at home and only make money.
Now, starting with Rocco, I am saving money for my retirement by signing contracts with more manufacturers.
I said with a confident look.
“Did I say that? Later, I’ll ask you to make it in Rocco.”
Kim Deok-bae continued to nod his head and said.
“haha. I think I underestimated the CEO’s ability too much.”
“From now on, only trust me!”
Then the manager said with a smile.
“It’s really nice to see the two of you looking at each other. haha. Anyway, to briefly explain the contract, the guaranteed quorum for a one-year contract is 150,000 every month. To be honest, this is a condition that even large manufacturers can covet. It is a really big concession from the head office to give such a guaranteed quantity when the restart of the existing factory has already been confirmed.”
Looking at Kim Deok-bae, Kim Deok-bae nodded and said.
“If the guaranteed quantity is 150,000 pairs, it is a considerable level even when the footwear industry is booming in Korea. Very good conditions.”
Both the manager and Kim Deok-bae say that the conditions are good.
The manager said with a satisfied expression.
“Honestly, personally, I feel good that Seron is doing well. The sales side is very cheap… but I saw the potential as a production base for Rocco Korea.”
Are you saying it’s good that you have a shave and a job to do because of us?
It’s good to be good to each other.
“Anyway, let’s check the contract. If you agree, we will proceed with the contract process. This is a translated version of the contract that I translated myself.”
I accepted the contract with a relaxed expression.
“Let’s see.”
By the way.
The more I read the contract, the more my expression hardens.
“Huh?”
When my expression looked strange, Kim Deok-bae looked at me and said.
“I, sir? Do you have any problem······.”
“Wait.”
Having read all the contents of the contract like that, I said with an incomprehensible expression.
“Is this a good deal?”
The manager said with a bewildered expression at my words.
“Yes? Joe, are you on good terms?”
I handed out the contract to Kim Deok-bae and said,
“Read it.”
Kim Deok-bae started looking at the contract with a serious expression when I made a serious expression.
But Kim Deok-bae made a mysterious expression and looked at me and said.
“I······.”
“Please speak.”
“Where is the problem…….”
Even after reading it, you don’t know what the problem is?
“Although the model in charge and the production quantity for each model are missing, there is no problem because it is in line with the policy of Ceron, which is produced immediately upon order.”
Kim Deok-bae said with a look of incomprehension.
“The rest are just plain OEM contracts.”
“Is this an ordinary contract? Take a look at this article. B will compensate for loss and damage caused by reasons that cannot be held responsible for A. And this, and this one.”
It is decorated with all kinds of words, but in the end the content is all the same.
Eul has to take responsibility if something goes wrong, and if Eul does something wrong, A can receive compensation or cancel the contract.
Is this an ordinary contract?
No matter how you look at it, I’m thankful that Eul bowed down to Gap and then lowered the amount, so I’ll endure everything.
“Then what about this? If the supply is disrupted, it must be compensated. So, do you really have to pay Rocco compensation for that Southeast Asian factory that was stopped in a coup?”
Then the manager said in a cold sweat, probably not expecting such a question.
“Uh… that… it should be compensated under the contract, but from what I heard, the head office gave some reductions…”
“Reduction? Gaammyeon? So you’re saying you’re paying for it? Isn’t that what they want?”
“Ha, but this is industry practice. As long as there are no defects in the product and the production is done well, there will be no problems.”
okay.
As long as it doesn’t work, there won’t be any problems.
But that’s the same thing as being afraid of being investigated by the police if you haven’t committed any crimes.
I just hate what I don’t like!
In particular, I am a person who has been serving for 30 years as they say that if I kill the Demon King in Seron, I will be sent.
I just don’t like the article itself, which seems to be tied to something in this way or to restrain my actions.
“Umm.”
“I know you are hesitant because it is your first contract, but this is almost a standardized contract in the footwear industry. If you can’t accept this, it means that you can’t actually sign a contract with all the manufacturers.”
The manager said as if to comfort me.
“Anyway, sir, don’t worry too much. This is just a provision I wrote down in case something happens.”
If you don’t accept this, you can’t do anything else.
it is customary
Where have you heard it a lot?
“Have I ever been on a business trip abroad?”
“Are you abroad?”
“It was there too. You only need to do one. You don’t have to worry about me. But when I actually did it, it wasn’t like that. How many things to care about doing one of those guys.”
The rules of the nobles and royalty, as well as the rules to be followed during battle, etc.
At first, I was really tired of keeping them one by one.
All you have to do is fight well. Why are you so nagging?
“Then, at some company, I accidentally touched the son of that high-ranking gentleman? Then he said that he was luminous.”
“Yes?”
To be precise, the corpse was raised as an undead, and among them there was the son of a high nobleman.
That’s why in that country, they said that they would be subject to military law, or that anyone who damaged the body of an aristocrat would be punished by death.
“What about disciplinary action? Thanks to me, it was ridiculous while maintaining the company. Do you know what I learned there?”
“Mom, I don’t know.”
“If you do everything you ask me to do, I am the only one who will be saved. It’s customary and whatever it is, it’s best to just do what I do.”
Having let go of my spirit there, I turned back the undead corps that were facing the Demon King and marched to the capital of that country.
What was the outcome
The capital was captured in an instant, and the nobles and royalty were all taken prisoner and reeducated to the bone.
custom?
Why should I care about that?
If you’re going to order me, say it, if you don’t, don’t.
I looked at Kim Deok-bae and said.
“Chairman Kim, is this enough for our performance? Within two months, we delivered hundreds of thousands of high-quality products at an insane speed and at a very low price.”
“That, right?”
“Then that’s it.”
I don’t want to be tied to one company.
It’s not like I’m going to work for thousands of years, it’s okay if I just get the quantity and make money, but it doesn’t matter who the target is Loco or whoever it is.
He bent over once for a tasting, but he successfully completed the most necessary verification, so he got everything that Rocco would get first.
So now I go my own way.
“Wait.”
I started to draw out all the parts I didn’t like in the contract the manager brought me with a pen.
“Are you compensated? why me. uh? what is this clause Does it matter if we get orders for other companies’ products or not, should we negotiate with them? Take this too.”
Having drawn most of the details of the contract with a line like that, I held out the contract and said:
“ruler. I will accept this.”
The manager, who saw the almost ragged contract, said with wide open mouth.
“Hey, the head office can’t accept this.”
“There’s something that can’t be done, as long as an accident doesn’t happen, there’s no problem. This is also true. As long as you don’t rant in Rocco, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
read at noblemtl.com
Most of the deleted clauses were that A could do this if B had done it.
Of course, since I deleted all of them, the right to say this and that to the poor Rocco was deleted entirely.
This is what this ragged contract meant.
Seron, to be precise, if you want to sign a contract with me, don’t nagging me and don’t meddle with me.
“Ah, anyway, this is…”
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
If I came all the way here and abused you, there’s no reason to be punished, right?
“For reference, I will send proposals to all makers under the same conditions. And in the order in which you sign a contract with us, we will give you priority order rights.”
If orders overlap, the company’s products contracted first are given priority.
In other words, if the contract is late, there will be no soup.
“It’s not that I have any bad feelings for Rocco. If you order, I will try to make it as hard as possible. It’s just because there are so many provisions that are cumbersome and cumbersome.”
Anyway, Rocco had already tasted the undead.
Cheap, fast and efficient.
Is there any other manufacturer that can replace Ceron for a company that prioritizes profit and efficiency?
Well, if you’re willing to endure even that, I’ll admit it.
Then do it with another company.
I do not block those who come, and I do not stop those who go.
“If this is the case, I will sign a contract right away. Make decisions in Rocco.”
