Chapter 153: Making Money
Ding Laixiang and Lin Guanghua are happy, but Zhuang Jianye is worried, and there is no money, there is no way to pay the R&D funds of the 23rd branch is really not a small number, not to mention the upcoming CNC impeller shot peening machine and the wind tunnel test of various wings, that is, Peng Chuan's ongoing research on the numerical control of machine tools is a big pit.
This is not something that can be done with enthusiasm and ability alone, it has to be smashed with real money.
Fortunately, the one million US dollars paid by Liszt, the Provincial Department of Foreign Trade has been converted into an equal amount of RMB and allocated to the 23rd Factory, in addition to the profits handed over to Huancheng City and Yonghong Factory, the 23rd Branch Factory still has a lot left, plus the income from refrigeration equipment during this time, it can barely maintain the balance of payments.
But once Lin Guanghua's two projects are in full swing, funds will be stretched thin, so making money is still Zhuang Jianye's current top priority.
Fortunately, Liu Chun and Master Ju's electric fans have come out, Zhuang Jianye looks very good, the wind is soft and directional, which is beneficial to the optimized design of the fan blade shape, not only can make the wind speed consistent with the wind direction, but also control the electricity consumption at a very low level.
The only thing missing now is the market.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Jianye has a headache, now the domestic home appliance market is recovering, the demand is very strong, followed by the intensification of competition.
Let's take electric fans as an example, there are three companies in Xingzhou alone that are making electric fans at the same time, and as many as 16 companies in neighboring provinces are producing.
As for the farther southeast coastal areas, there are even more enterprises and workshops that make electric fans, coupled with foreign electric fans from other channels, the entire electric fan market has long been a mess.
But now, it's not easy to give it a try, and you can't just pile up the product when it comes out, that's not Zhuang Jianye's style.
So after a while, Zhuang Jianye went out, rode a bicycle to the factory, walked for about 20 minutes, came to a commercial street on the east side of the municipal party committee, and found a door with "Edelweiss Home Appliance Exhibition Center", parked the bicycle at the door, and then walked in with a bag.
As soon as I entered the door, a little girl with braided hair greeted me and asked politely: "Comrade, what do you want?" We have radios, televisions, tape recorders, electric fans, refrigerators, and imported Japanese and European brands upstairs......
The little girl is very enthusiastic, but the accent is a bit Hokkien, and it is a little difficult to listen, but the dress is generous and simple, plus the sweet smile, there is an indescribable agility, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they look at it.
"I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone, is your Manager Ning here?"
"Manager Ning?"
As soon as she heard that she was looking for Manager Ning, the little girl immediately became vigilant, looked Zhuang Jianye up and down, and found that the white shirt was cleanly washed, and her figure was even more upright, and she should be a cadre of a certain agency at a glance, and then nodded: "Wait a minute!"
Then he staggered upstairs, and after a while, a male duck shouted upstairs: "Cadre? What kind of cadre? Recently, our store has been very quiet and self-contained, what is there to check?"
Arrogant, domineering, empty-eyed, there is no one else except Ning Xiaodong.
Sure enough, a person soon turned out of the staircase, and it was okay to wear a floral cloth shirt on a hot day, and a suit was draped outside, which did not surprise Zhuang Jianye, and the taste of this product was so virtuous, and it was completely hopeless.
To Zhuang Jianye's surprise, the long hair that exploded was gone, and it was replaced by a bare monk's head, which looked very bright under the reflection of the sun.
"You're ......"
"On a hot day, I left so much hair and had hot prickly heat all day long, it was strange and uncomfortable, and I cut it in a fit of anger. As soon as he saw that it was Zhuang Jianye, the arrogant and domineering Ning Xiaodong immediately smiled and lost his eyebrows, and as he spoke, he also looked at Zhuang Jianye's flowing hair, and asked: "Don't you have prickly heat in your head? ”
"Brother-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense, his head was shaved by my sister-in-law, a big man, his hair is longer than our daughter's, and he doesn't bumble!"
As soon as Ning Xiaodong's words fell, a neat voice came from upstairs, and then Ning Xiaoxue was seen wearing a decent dress, and she floated downstairs like a butterfly.
Then the waitress girl greeted Ning Xiaoxue with great discernment: "Manager Ning!"
Ning Xiaoxue turned her head and said to the little girl: "The person who came is my brother-in-law, you didn't know it when you first came, remember it later, just let him go upstairs to find me when he comes." ”
The little girl nodded vigorously, indicating that she remembered, and Zhuang Jianye couldn't help but give a thumbs up when she saw this: "Yes, it's a bit like a big manager." ”
Ning Xiaoxue smiled proudly: "It's not according to what you taught, speaking of which Ling Ling, this girl is also pitiful, my father went to sea and never came back, my mother ran away with someone again, I was selling model airplanes in southern Fujian, and I saw that she slept in the haystack on the side of the road with her younger sister at a young age, and I couldn't bear to bring her sister back together, no, open a new store, let her be a waiter." ”
"Well, very far-sighted!" Zhuang Jianye praised again, Ning Xiaoxue smiled even more happily, and then waved his hand arrogantly: "Let's go, let's go upstairs and say." ”
Then he led Zhuang Jianye and Ning Xiaodong to the upstairs office.
......
"I said Lao Zhuang, I went to the field a few days ago, and I specially helped you see it, the electric fan, well~~ It's very messy, it's a little hard to open!"
"Yes, brother-in-law, I now have four stores in my hands, the rest of the electrical are good, the most brands of electric fans, no way, the production of this thing is the most difficult, and it is considered an industrial product, small to the township, large to the local support, our Huancheng local is fine, other areas. Saying that, Ning Xiaoxue shook her head, and popped out a word with a look of embarrassment: "Difficult!"
Zhuang Jianye didn't speak, leaned on the sofa, his thumbs kept stirring, obviously thinking of a way to deal with it, he came here for nothing else, just to hear the Ning brothers and sisters' intuitive views on the electric fan market.
You must know that now these two have changed the direction of their business in Zhuang Jianye after the year, and have partnered to open the "Edelweiss Home Appliance Exhibition Center", which is mainly engaged in the retail of various household appliances.
For more than half a year, the sales performance is very impressive, and now it has opened four branches in the province, and is preparing to open another one in the province.
Nowadays, Zhuang Jianye does not have a professional market research team, and only has a vague concept of the electric fan market, but the Ning brothers and sisters who are engaged in home appliance retail are very sensitive to this, so listening to their views is still very necessary for the upcoming electric fan business of the 23rd Factory.
As a result, it's okay not to listen, but after listening to it, I found that it was even worse than I estimated.
"It's really not good, it's just like this!" I don't know how long it took, Zhuang Jianye pursed his lips and made up his mind, and then looked at the Ning family brothers and sisters: "I need your help!"
