Chapter 163 Natural Disasters and Supply Chain Reconstruction

The sudden natural disaster brought a devastating blow to the company's supply chain, and Lin Xiao and Su Yao faced unprecedented difficulties.

"Su Yao, this natural disaster is too serious. Many suppliers' factories have been damaged, logistics are almost paralyzed, and our supply chain is completely broken." Lin Xiao said worriedly as he looked out the window at the scene ravaged by the wind and rain.

Su Yao's face was pale and her voice was trembling slightly: "Lin Xiao, what can we do? Without raw materials, production can't proceed, and the orders are overdue."

They immediately organized an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Lin Xiao, we need to first evaluate the recovery of the affected suppliers and see when they can resume supplying goods." said the purchasing manager.

Lin Xiao frowned: "At the same time, we must quickly find new suppliers. We cannot put all our hopes on them."

However, there were many difficulties in the process of finding new suppliers.

"Su Yao, because the incident happened suddenly, many suppliers have already been booked by other companies, and we have very little room for choice." The purchasing staff said helplessly.

Su Yao gritted her teeth: "Then expand the search range, even if it is a farther area, we must find a reliable supplier."

In order to speed up the progress, Lin Xiao personally led a team to various places to inspect potential suppliers.

"Lin Xiao, the conditions of this supplier are not bad, but the price is high, and the transportation cost is not low." said the purchasing manager.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment: "Let's talk about cooperation with them first, and then try to negotiate the price. In this special period, even if the cost is a little higher, we must ensure the supply first."

While negotiating with new suppliers, the company is also working internally to adjust production plans.

"Su Yao, based on the current supply of raw materials, we have to rearrange production priorities and ensure the delivery of important orders first." said the production manager.

Su Yao nodded: "Okay, but we need to communicate well with the customers, explain the situation clearly, and strive for their understanding and support."

However, communication with customers was not smooth.

"Lin Xiao, some customers are dissatisfied with our delayed delivery and even threaten to cancel their orders." The sales manager said anxiously.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Personally explain to these customers, promise to give them certain compensation, and try to regain their orders."

During this process, the company's financial pressure also increased.

"Su Yao, purchasing raw materials requires a large amount of money to be paid in advance, and the customer's payment cannot be received in time, so the financial situation is very tight." said the financial director.

Su Yao said: "Find a way to apply for a bank loan, or negotiate with suppliers to extend the payment period."

After a series of difficult efforts, the company finally reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several new suppliers.

"Lin Xiao, the new supplier has started supplying goods, but the quantity cannot meet all the demand." said the purchasing manager.

Lin Xiao said: "First solve the urgent problem and gradually increase the supply. At the same time, speed up the recovery of the affected suppliers."

With the joint efforts of all employees, the supply chain gradually began to recover.

"Su Yao, production has gradually returned to normal, but it will take some time to fully recover to pre-disaster levels," said the production manager.

Su Yao said: "This is already a great improvement, everyone keep it up."

However, just when the company's supply chain had begun to improve, market competition became more intense.
