Chapter 256: Advancing and Retreating Together
These words are not my words, but the words of our factory director Tang. ”
Han Weichang's tone became solemn, just like a eunuch in ancient times conveying the emperor's message, and he almost bowed to the northwest.
"It turned out that Director Tang said it!" Zhao Xinggen's face also changed, and he chuckled in his heart, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Tang Zifeng's name, Zhao Xinggen, heard about it from Ning Mo, an assembly fitter who was sent to Longji to do technical guidance. Ning Mo called this Tang Zifeng "my buddy", and said it more than a hundred times in front of the Zhao family brothers. According to Ning Mo's statement, Tang Zifeng is the first day of the past, he can take exams, make money, pick up girls, and engage in all kinds of conspiracies.
The Zhao family brothers also learned from Ning Mo's narration that they were not the only ones planted under Tang Zifeng, and how many people with higher status and greater energy than them had also fallen into the sand. Thinking about it this way, the two of them planted in Tang Zifeng's hands is not only a shame, but even an honor. Being bitten by a dog is unlucky, but being bitten by Tyson is enough to blow you for a lifetime.
This time, the Zhao brothers participated in the whole process. They used the accessories provided by Linyi Machine to imitate Dongyuan machine tools, fought a price war with Dongyuan Company, compressed the profit margins of Dongyuan Company, and exhausted the working capital in Li Taiyu's hands. Later, the machine 20 began to spread the news of the poor quality of Dongyuan machine tools, so that Dongyuan Company faced the threat of a large number of returns, and during this period, many news was spread by private enterprises such as Longji.
The so-called "occasionally bought at the bus station" and the like are just deceptions. The machine tool information sold on the bookstall at the bus station is written on the cover, and there is no word "machine" in the text. Well, don't ask how the Zhao brothers know.
The embarrassment of a company with a shortage of liquidity and the sudden return of a large number of customers can be imagined. At this time, it coincided with the financial crisis affecting South Korea, resulting in the rupture of the source of funds, and Dongyuan Company had only one way to go bankrupt.
In normal times, Li Taiyu can still sell at a good price and sell the company at a good price. But in the face of the financial crisis, how could he have time to wait, seeing that he was about to be riddled with debts, he could only abandon the company and flee back to South Korea, but cheapened the Zhao brothers with eighty or ninety percent of the new equipment in the workshop.
According to Han Weichang, all of this is due to Tang Zifeng's calculations. The proportions and timing of this conspiracy were accurate, and the Zhao family brothers thought that they would not be able to do it for another 200 years of cultivation, and they had already knelt down many times in their hearts to this Tang Zifeng, whom they had never met.
Han Weichang said: "Director Tang asked me to tell you that the acquisition of Dongyuan Company is to obtain the equipment and technology of Dongyuan Company, and it is absolutely impossible to inherit the style of Dongyuan Company. If you want to engage in machine tools, you must be down-to-earth, quality-oriented, and do not harm users. If you want to follow the flashy old road of Dongyuan Company, he will not hesitate to do what he has done to Dongyuan Company to you again. ”
"Uh......"
Zhao Xinggen was speechless. The words are good, but can you put it a little more tactfully? I am also a "total" after all, with a net worth of tens of millions, and I can be regarded as a person with status in Heling. It's too shameful for you to threaten me like this.
Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Xinggen didn't dare to show anything at all. There are only two possibilities for a person to dare to speak out like this, one is to be young and vigorous, casually bragging, and the other is to be strong, he is just an ant-like existence in front of others, and people disdain to go around in circles with him.
Combined with the legends about Tang Zifeng in his head, Zhao Xinggen knew that Tang Zifeng definitely belonged to the second type of people, and he really didn't take his words as wind in his ears.
"Mr. Han, look at what you said, how can we be like Dongyuan Company?" Zhao Xinggen said with a smile on his face, "We used to make some fake and shoddy products, wasn't it all because the factory was too small and the strength was not enough? Now that we are strong, we have also acquired the assets of Dongyuan Company, and the shotgun has been replaced, so we must make high-quality products."
"It's just that, Mr. Han, I don't know if there will be any changes in the fact that Linyi Machine provides us with CNC systems and functional components? To be honest, with the systems and components of Linyi Machine, it is too easy for us to make machine tools, with good quality and good prices. Many customers are buying the functional parts of the machine, and the price can be 2% higher than other machine tools with your 'long tassel inside' label. ”
"That's fine. Han Weichang said, "Director Tang said that as long as you are willing to cooperate with Linyiji, Linyi will definitely ensure the supply of your systems and components." However, the ugly words have to be said ahead, the market of low-end machine tools, up to how you compete. But if you want to enter the mid-range machine tool market, don't blame us for cutting off your supply. We can't take our own systems and components and breed a competitor. ”
"Definitely not!" Zhao Xinggen swore with a curse, "With our strength, competing with Linyi machine, isn't this looking for death? Let's make some low-grade machine tools, we have a lot of small machinery factories here in Jingnan, everyone uses low-grade machine tools, and the market is enough for us to eat." ”
"That's not enough. Han Weichang Zhengse said, "What Director Tang means is that I hope you will continue to improve technology, improve production efficiency, and reduce costs." In the future, our country's machine tool industry should face the world, not to mention those poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, that is, European and American countries, the demand for low-end machine tools is also a lot, these markets, you also have to win is. ”
"Is this really what Director Tang said?" Zhao Xinggen's eyes lit up. Of course, he wanted to go around the international market, and now there are a lot of township enterprises in Jingnan doing foreign trade, and everyone says that foreigners are stupid and have a lot of money, as long as they fancy any products in China, an order is hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and it is too easy to make money.
But this excitement belongs to others, Jingnan does the best in foreign trade, is light industrial products, what socks, clothing, toys, small electrical appliances or something. Longhu Machinery Factory is engaged in mechanical products, which is very difficult to export, and it seems that foreigners do not look at China's mechanical products.
Now, the particularly capable director Tang actually proposed to face the world, and private small enterprises like himself also participated in it, doesn't this mean that he also has the opportunity to do foreign trade?
"Mr. Han, tell us that Director Tang asked us to face the world, what should we do to face the world?" Zhao Xinggen asked impatiently.
Han Weichang said reservedly: "This question has to be considered holistically. Director Tang said that our machine 20 enterprise is a national team and a regular army, and we are responsible for fighting a tough battle. Your township enterprises will be responsible for fighting the periphery. We will provide you with the necessary technical support, but before that, it is up to you to see how well you do.
"There are thousands of small machine tool companies like you in China, and so many small enterprises cannot have the ability to face the international market. Therefore, you have to practice your internal skills and accumulate strength, and when you can get up, we state-owned factories will naturally come to help you. ”
"Oh, that's good, thank you so much!" Zhao Xinggen couldn't wait to pull Han Weichang's hand to show his gratitude.
"If I agree with what I said earlier, I would like to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Mr. Zhao's dragon machine on behalf of Linyiji. In the future, in the machine tool market, we will work closely together and advance and retreat together. I don't know if Mr. Zhao is interested. Han Weichang pretended to be casual and said.
Zhao Xinggen was stunned, and asked with some hesitation: "Strategic cooperation?" I don't know what Mr. Han means by strategic cooperation. How can a small enterprise like our dragon machine be qualified to engage in strategic cooperation with you?"
Han Weichang said: "The size of the enterprise is not a problem. That is, the responsibility of large enterprises is heavier, and the responsibility of small enterprises is lighter. As I said earlier, we are responsible for fighting the tough battle, and you small businesses are responsible for fighting the periphery. For example, if the two parties sign an agreement, then the CNC system and functional components that the dragon machine needs in the future can be fully guaranteed by our Linyi machine.
"We will also provide you with new model machine tool drawings for you to produce, of course, we have to collect some royalties. In addition, the production arrangement of the dragon machine should be consistent with the Linyi machine as much as possible, and do not act without authorization. ”
"I see. Zhao Xinggen immediately understood, didn't he just want his dragon machine to be a vassal of Linyiji? If he signed such an agreement, he would become the downstream factory of Linyiji. Pro Yi machine provides drawings for the dragon machine, and also provides the CNC system and functional components with the highest profit margin on the machine tool.
The task of the dragon machine is to make something stupid and coarse, and it is also responsible for selling the machine tool. This is equivalent to doing the dirty work and tiring work by yourself, but the one that makes the most money is the one who makes the most money. The so-called production arrangement should be consistent with the Linyi machine as much as possible, in fact, it means that the dragon machine should listen to the arrangement of the Linyi machine, which is equivalent to selling itself to the Linyi machine.
But after thinking about it, he realized the benefits of this kind of cooperation. Longji's long-term predicament is that it has no products of its own, and blindly relies on copying other people's products for a living. The quality and performance of counterfeit products are definitely not as good as the original goods, so they can only rely on cheapness to attract customers, and the reputation is also very bad.
If they can get on the Linyi machine, according to Han Weichang, the Linyi machine can provide them with drawings and it is estimated that they can also provide technical guidance. Although the core components of the products produced are Linyi machine, the brand that is played is dragon machine. This is not because of how high-end the machine is, but because people think these products are too low-end and disdain to use their own names.
For Longji, with its own products, it can change the image of the cottage in the past, start to enter the house, and become a law-abiding enterprise. It's a big deal to do it for a few years, and then find a way to decouple from Linyi and set up its own portal, which should also be possible.
