Chapter 81 Discovery Clues
So Ma Xiaoqiao put the account book on hand and said, "Okay, I understand, I will read it again if I have time."
As soon as Zhao Hua walked out, Zou Tao stood up and walked to Ma Xiaoqiao, laughing and said in a low voice: "Old Ma, there are still more eye-catching girls in your company. To be honest, have you never moved on to development?"
Ma Xiaoqiao smiled, leaned on the back of the chair, waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't have this intention. You guys are worried, right? I heard that your wife is going to give birth, and you still have this intention? I can tell you, please don't make any random decisions in my company's employees. Accountant Zhao can support me at work. I don't want to let this good accountant quit his job because of you in the end."
Zou Tao’s original intention is not really interested in Zhao Hua. He wants to use this topic to narrow the distance with Ma Xiaoqiao, and his real purpose is to understand the current purchase price of engineering auxiliary materials in the account book Ma Xiaoqiao is handed with.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoqiao didn't care, Zou Tao pointed to the account book and said, "Old Ma, Zhang Weidong from your company has not come back now. Why don't you compare the account book with the quote I gave to see if the price I quoted is reasonable. If there is anything unreasonable, I will think of a way to avoid me from going to your company a few more trips."
Seeing that Zou Tao was so persistent, Ma Xiaoqiao thought that Zou Tao was also an old classmate who knew him well, so he nodded, opened the account book, and picked up Zou Tao's quotation and compared it.
But the more Ma Xiaoqiao looks at it, the more he becomes angry. The purchase price of auxiliary materials recorded in the account book is quite different from the price of auxiliary materials reported by Zou Tao. Zou Tao's quotation is on average more than 15% lower than the current company's purchase price!
Ma Xiaoqiao knew very well that except for the Sanzhen Provincial Santa Business Department of Rongcheng Chitian Technology Company, all the projects have network wiring projects in the other projects!
The amount of auxiliary materials used in the project is quite large. If costs can be saved from this, it means that the cost in each project will be reduced a little.
The cost of all projects is reduced a little, which means that previous projects have made more money!
But now this is the result. This discovery made Ma Xiaoqiao extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Weidong, who is responsible for purchasing auxiliary materials in the company!
However, in order to prevent Zou Tao from deliberately quoting low prices with some counterfeit and shoddy auxiliary materials, Ma Xiaoqiao asked solemnly: "Zou Tao, tell me the truth, is there any guarantee of the quality of auxiliary materials at this price you provide?"
Zou Tao also found that Ma Xiaoqiao's face looked a little bad. He thought that Ma Xiaoqiao thought he deliberately used counterfeit and shoddy products to make up for the numbers, so he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry if you put the quality on. I have been making auxiliary materials, and the purchase channels are all large manufacturers of production, and I don't just supply you with one company. Many decoration and construction companies use the auxiliary materials I provide in large projects. We have been in such a long time, will I deliberately punish you for your injustice?"
Zou Tao spoke confidently, which made Ma Xiaoqiao feel a little unsure. To be on the safe side, he remembered that the network wiring project of a project was about to enter the site, so he said to Zou Tao: "That's good, don't talk about those useless ones. In this way, you provide a batch of auxiliary materials first, and the money will not be settled first. I have a project in my hand now, so I'm trying it out first."
Zou Tao was very happy. Ma Xiaoqiao now took the initiative to say that he wanted to try it out, which is a good phenomenon! You should know that Ma Xiaoqiao didn't tell him that there is a need for auxiliary materials just now.
So Zou Tao asked, "What auxiliary materials are needed? Is there a list? Only after I have a list, I know what to prepare and how much is needed. Lao Ma, I believe in your personality. If you use the payment for the goods, you will pay for these auxiliary materials."
Ma Xiaoqiao immediately stood up, took Zou Tao to the engineering department, and directly asked the engineering department manager to get the list needed for construction and copied it for Zou Tao, and told Zou Tao to follow the list to prepare the stock immediately.
After seeing Zou Tao off, Ma Xiaoqiao's face turned dark. After returning to the office, he began to think about it.
If the auxiliary materials provided by Zou Tao are of high quality and so cheap, then Zhang Weidong will have a problem!
Obviously, Zhang Weidong has some tricks in purchasing these auxiliary materials and takes kickbacks!
In the past, Ma Xiaoqiao trusted Zhang Weidong quite a lot. Zhang Weidong was a few years older than most people in the company. He was very respectful to him, especially Ma Xiaoqiao, and he always wanted to be ahead of Ma Xiaoqiao. His work arrangements made Ma Xiaoqiao very comfortable, so Ma Xiaoqiao gave Zhang Weidong's full responsibility for the procurement of equipment, products and auxiliary materials needed for all the projects in the company.
Usually, Ma Xiaoqiao didn't notice the cost of auxiliary materials at all. His focus on costs was mainly on those equipment and ignored this. If Zou Tao hadn't learned that his company also needed auxiliary materials to sell them today, he might still be kept in the dark, and Zhang Weidong had been making a fortune in silence, placing a part of the company's profits and putting them into his pocket.
This is simply robbing his money. Ma Xiaoqiao will never tolerate such behavior!
Ma Xiaoqiao then thought about whether Zhang Weidong also took kickbacks when purchasing other equipment?
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoqiao was frightened and sweated. Then he grabbed the phone and called Yao Jian's office. When Yao Jian answered the phone, he said, "Yao Jian, come to me right away."
Yao Jian is the manager of the system integration department, specializing in the selection and installation of the hardware part in the project. He is very familiar with the original equipment manufacturer. Ma Xiaoqiao decided to give Yao Jian a secret task and asked Yao Jian to secretly inquire about the price of the equipment used in the private project on the market.
This issue must be clarified because it affects the profit of the project!
Of course, Yao Jian was willing to accept this secret mission because he saw from this matter that Ma Xiaoqiao trusted him very much, and at the same time, he had long wanted to interfere in equipment procurement.
For nothing else, because the core network switch is used in the Rongcheng Chitian Technology Company project, it is the authority of the company. Many manufacturers are responsible for channel sales and various agents, focusing on their work.
Once he chooses the model, Rongcheng Chitian Technology Company will adopt it in the project. If he can find a way to capture the purchasing rights of these equipment, then even if he does not take rebates, he will still be able to make some money.
The simplest example is the server memory stick. This kind of thing agent has the so-called "parallel goods" in hand. To put it bluntly, it is products that smuggle in and do not pay tariffs. These "parallel goods" are also produced by the original manufacturer, and there is no quality problem at all. However, they can pretend to be memory sticks that are formal customs declaration. The price difference between them is quite large. At that time, purchases at normal prices, and outsiders will never know anything.
