Chapter 203: Next Steps

Of course, although Tianyue Trade has to face a window period of at least ten days without goods to sell, it does not mean that there is no other work to do.

This is also the biggest purpose of Xu Bin to bring back the core backbone from all over the country and invite Cao Mo to attend the meeting at the same time, he didn't really say that he wanted to do any review conference.

Marketing also needs to be further sinking, the distribution system should continue to improve, the weak and the strong, with various means to assist key distributors to lock in the target users, in the region as soon as possible to form a higher visibility;

Of course, considering that Jinhua and Longxing have entered the two motorcycle brands that have entered Kanem, they may have come back to their senses at this time and will adjust their market strategies accordingly at any time, so the primary R&D team they set up at the beginning will also work closely with the R&D department of Huachen Industry to make corresponding adjustments to the main models such as Huachen 100 and 125, so as to better meet the unique market demand in West Africa.

The Huachen Tianyue motorcycle assembly plant in the Conero Lake Industrial Park not only needs to be put into operation as soon as possible, but even needs to directly consider expansion now.

Of course, Kanem does not have the production capacity of core components of motorcycles, and even there are only a handful of brand assembly plants, but the assembly or assembly capacity of Kanem motorcycle market is very strong.

Every year, millions of second-hand motorcycles enter Kanem via Draculamo Harbour, and a considerable number of them come in the form of discarded parts, or the old motorcycles themselves are close to being scrapped.

These parts, as well as scrapped motorcycles, are dismantled and refurbished at Draculamo's large and small repair shops, dismantling plants, and assembly plants, some of which enter the market as spare parts, and some of which are directly assembled into brand new motorcycles and sold everywhere.

In early May, Cao Mo decided to register a new company, Tianyue Industries, under Tianyue Trading, so that it could form a certain scale of motorcycle assembly capacity in the Conero Lake Industrial Park as soon as possible, and at the end of May, he directly acquired a motorcycle assembly plant in Draculamo.

This assembly plant is next to Huamall, located on the central street, the workshop plus the abandoned, second-hand car and motorcycle yard, covering an area of 20 acres, but as a small-scale assembly factory, the area may be enough, but more than half of it is used to pile up waste motorcycles, and the place is narrow all of a sudden.

For more than a month, Xu Lizheng has been responsible for moving the only assembly line of the assembly plant to the Conero Lake Industrial Park.

There are ready-made 20,000 square meters of factory buildings that can be rented, and 20,000 square meters of factory buildings, 40,000 square meters of warehouses and a three-story administrative office building will be completed and put into use within a month.

When the assembly plant was acquired, the main thing was that the more than 70 skilled assembly technicians of the factory could take over - the previous factory owner could use these workers to fight a bloody way in the abandoned car assembly market in Draculamo, and the experience was still quite rich, Tianyue offered twice the salary and the corresponding welfare subsidies, and they were also willing to temporarily separate from their families and live in the collective dormitory of the Conero Lake Industrial Park.

In the past month, Xu Lizheng has also recruited 120 new skilled workers in Draculamore's labor market.

Kanem's manufacturing development is very backward, the domestic education level is low, and the thinking is rarely as positive as the Chinese people, but as a concentration of five to sixty percent of Kanem's manufacturing industry, Draculamo, to a certain extent, can also be said to have a certain industrial base; qualified industry and technology

The workers are also of considerable size.

Now, when the second new assembly line arrives in Kanem and the assembly and commissioning is completed, Huayue Industry will be able to form an annual assembly capacity of 100,000 motorcycles.

However, at present, the annual assembly capacity of 100,000 motorcycles is still far from enough, and the expansion of the annual assembly capacity of 300,000 motorcycles is possible to slightly meet the market of Kanem.

The direct cost reduction of assembly production from domestic to Kanem is limited, and the key point is that the import tax rate implemented by Kanem on the import of complete vehicles and the import of parts is too different.

The assembly production will be transferred to Kanem, and each Huachen 100 model will arrive in the form of parts, and the comprehensive tax will be reduced by about 80 US dollars.

If you want to capture the mid-range motorcycle market with the greatest consumption potential in Kanem and other West African countries, and implement the strategy of switching low prices to the market, the cost advantage of 80 US dollars per car is too crucial.

Cao Mo's feelings about the overly complex market are not as profound as Xu Bin's, but he has a deep feeling for production cost control.

In the past year or so, Kanem has imposed a ban on the import of finished cement, which has spurred a massive expansion of its domestic cement. In July 06, the country's cement output is expected to more than double compared to before the cement storm.

Even though the ban on the import of finished cement has not been lifted at this time, the domestic demand for cement in Kanem has basically been satisfied, and it is not so hungry.

Heading into July, the price of Draculamo's ordinary finished cement has intensified and slipped to around $150 a tonne.

Cao Mo, he didn't feel much yet.

At present, the second phase of the Conero cement plant has also been completed and put into operation, with a total monthly production capacity of 80,000 tons, although the profit has not achieved a linear increase, but with the current market, it can still guarantee a monthly windfall profit of about 6 million US dollars.

However, the other three cement factories near Draculamo were uncomfortable.

These three cement plants have also been expanding their production capacity frantically for more than a year, from the previous annual production capacity of 450,000 tons to 1.5 million tons, but the energy consumption of each ton of cement production of these three plants is about 267 US dollars higher than Cao Mo's.

The point is that this is not the main thing yet.

The unusually high price of electricity supply in Draculamo is one thing, but what makes many industrial and commercial enterprises even more painful is the unstable power supply.

In addition to intermittent power outages during peak demand, power outages caused by faults in power lines and transmission and distribution facilities are more frequent and sudden.

The aging of equipment and backward operation and management have led to the instability of current frequency and voltage intensity, which has also caused countless enterprises to complain.

The additional costs incurred in the production process by these problems are even much higher than the price of electricity itself.

Draculamo's ordinary finished cement slipped to $1670 a ton in May, and several surrounding cement factories were already complaining.

Considering the cement production capacity and level of the surrounding areas and countries, as long as Cao Mo does not expand cement production capacity in Conerohu Industrial Park, even if the cement ban on Kanem is lifted, it will be difficult for the price of Draculamo's finished cement to fall further.

Of course, even after the biggest threat of the Jidam family was eliminated, Cao Mo had no intention of fighting a price war with these three cement factories in Draculamo.

He is limited by production capacity, and it is impossible to seize much of the market in a price war, so why not continue to make a fortune in silence?

At the end of the summary meeting, Cao Mo asked Zhou Jianming, Xu Lizheng, and Parry to take people to the Lana Dere Hotel for dinner first, and he asked Xu Bin and Xiao Jun to accompany him to invite him Zhao Xinyu, Feng Rui, and Zhao Ling.

Tianyue has the investment of Shen Ji and Hexi Fund, and Shen Ji doesn't need anything else

representatives, but Hexi Fund still entrusted Zhao Xinyu to serve as a director of Tianyue Trading.

Zhao Xinyu does not participate in the direct operation of Tianyue, and Zhao Xinyu does not need to participate in internal meetings, but it is rare for the internal backbone to have a dinner, and Zhao Xinyu works in the same building, so he has to be invited - Tianyue Industry needs to expand assembly capacity, and it also needs to be supplemented by many parties, which also requires Zhao Xinyu to report to Hexi Fund.

Walking into Yang Deshan's previous office, Cao Mo felt a little different, even though his workstation in the West Africa branch was still kept, but he returned to Kanem for two months, and he didn't sit there once.

It was still early, Cao Mo sat in Zhao Xinyu's office with Xu Bin and Xiao Jun, and by the way, he informed Zhao Xinyu of Tianyue's operation in the past two months.

"It was officially launched this month, and Huachen motorcycle sales are so fierce?" Zhao Xinyu was also shocked when he heard the results that had just been released.

The monthly sales scale of Kanem's new and old motorcycles is about 100,000 units, and Tianyue has grabbed 15% of the market in the first month, and there is even a great potential for growth in the follow-up, so why is he not shocked?

Cao Mo said with a smile: "The market in West Africa, two thousand and ten years ago, was mainly occupied by Europe and the United States, we can't help but say that the quality of European and American products is indeed stronger, but compared with our domestic products, the cost performance is still a big difference - in the past few years, what kind of products have entered Africa in China, is not soon to kill the competing products of Europe and the United States directly?

Dongsheng can be said to be the first in China to enter West Africa to do aluminum profile sales, but the group did not pay attention to this market at first, Yang Deshan stayed in the country for a long time and did not come out, they fished in Draculamo and did not work, missing the critical year and a half.

Otherwise, Cao Mo estimates that almost 3 to 40% of the entire West African market will be taken down by them.

After missing the key year and a half, several large aluminum manufacturers have entered the country, and the West African branch almost dragged on to last year to really make efforts to do this piece of the market, and the current market share in Kanem is only about 6%.

It is also based on this that Shen Ji pushed to build an aluminum processing plant in Conerohu Industrial Park, in addition to reducing production costs, it is also close to the market, so that it can adjust production more flexibly and expand market share.

At present, Zhao Xinyu's most important business development is also this piece.

Oil palm plantations, palm oil crushing and import and export trade, industrial parks and Conero energy investment projects are currently relatively stable, mainly due to Shen Ji and Yang Deshan......

Thinking of this, Zhao Xinyu said to Cao Mo in a consultative tone: "After all, Mr. Yang can no longer be regarded as Dongsheng's person, what about the group, I hope that someone in the West Africa branch can still directly participate in the operation and management of Conailuo Lake Industrial Park, I consider suggesting to Mr. Shen that Feng Rui be transferred over and serve as executive director on behalf of Dongsheng - he was promoted by Mr. Yang before, and now he is Mr. Yang's deputy, and he should be able to cooperate well with the work." What do you think?"

"So?" Cao Mo was a little surprised, he guessed that after Zhao Xinyu transferred Feng Rui out, it was possible to transfer Guo Jian back to be in charge of the market administration department, but he didn't feel that Zhao Xinyu must have a hard time with him, just smiled, "Mr. Zhao, what other opinions do I have on the decision you made, except for accepting it?"

Cao Mo must have concerns about Guo Jian's transfer back to the market administration department, but he will not talk to Zhao Xinyu about this......
