Chapter 31: Building Detroit's "Chen Tian"
Faced with Chen Geng's threat, Michael was instantly intimidated.
Chen Geng's threat is very realistic, there are three scrapped car dismantling companies in the entire city of Detroit, in the face of the benefits brought by Fernandez, if he does not reduce the price, the other two will inevitably reduce the price, in this case, why not make money from the door, let those two bastards make money?
After thinking about it, Michael said: "Why don't we divide several types of different parts, and the price of each type is different, what do you think?"
Chen Geng was noncommittal: "You talk about it first." ”
Michael thought for a while and said: "One is consumables, such as tires, wheels, glass, and spark plugs, etc., the second is the accessories on the car, such as instruments, steering rods, shock absorbers, horns, and transmission half shafts, and the third is more sophisticated things, such as engines, gearboxes, and ignition coils." ”
Michael's method is to maximize his own interests as much as possible, Chen Geng can also accept it, he does business unlike Americans, Europeans, he can't wait to put all the money in his pocket all the day, from the beginning he has adhered to the principle of "win-win", so that everyone has to earn. However, it is one thing to agree with Michael's suggestion in principle, and it is another thing to be regarded as a stupid X by others, and after a little hesitation, Chen Geng said: "In principle, there is no problem, but the content contained in each category needs to be considered: but the price needs to be considered, and this piece is a basis, that is, the price of the price, and the price cannot exceed 5 cents per pound." ”
"Five cents a pound?" Michael suddenly grimaced: "Mr. Fernandez, this price is too low, I don't have much money at all......"
Chen Geng is now completely desperate for the mathematics level of students who come out of American public schools, and in the face of such a mathematical idiot, Chen Geng really wants to slap the other party twice: "Think about it, I come to you once, and a few engines are two or three tons at will, do you calculate how much money you can earn in a month?"
"Uh-huh, it seems to be, but ......"
"In addition, I don't completely use these parts for my own use, I will also sell these parts to auto repair companies in Detroit and even the entire state of Michigan, you say, how much money can you make a month?" Chen Geng said honestly and unceremoniously: "Believe it or not, you can make at least tens of thousands of dollars more every month by cooperating with me?" ”
Michael immediately woke up: yes, although since the 70s, the annual sales of new cars (passenger cars) in the United States have exceeded 4 million, but the entire city of Detroit has accumulated many scrapped cars over the years.
If you have time to calculate these things with Fernandez, why don't you think of a way to organize more supplies, maybe contact the black gangs in Detroit and let those black people steal more cars and send them over?
"Six cents!" Michael smirked twice and offered his own price: "And we can't have a minimum of $3,000 per month?"
The implication is that if the monthly trading volume is less than $3,000, you have to give me at least $3,000. For Michael, the $3,000 is basically enough for him to pay his employees every month — and you can't expect workers in this kind of place to pay as much as the average wage in the United States.
It seems that Chen Geng seems to have suffered a loss, but who is Chen Geng, he pondered for a while, and immediately nodded in agreement: "OK, no problem, $3,000 is $3,000, but we have to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement, and you can only cooperate with me in the next five years." ”
"Deal!" Michael agreed without saying a word, he was not good at math and bad at math, but he understood that now in the whole of the United States, I am afraid that only Fernandez is doing this kind of business of scrapping car parts, since there is no second business in the United States now, who else can he cooperate with except cooperating with Fernandez? Rather than arguing with him on this point, it is better to quickly finalize the price of each grade of spare parts is serious......
........................
Coming out of Michael's car dismantling company, Anderson couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Chen Geng excitedly: "Boss, do you really plan to sell these car dismantling parts to auto repair companies throughout Detroit?"
If Mr. Fernandez is really going to sell these good, working teardown parts to auto repair companies in Detroit and the whole of Michigan, it will be an unimaginably big business.
"Well," Chen Geng nodded: "I also just thought of this, only our family will definitely not be able to use so many parts, what should we do with the rest? Put it in the warehouse and use it slowly? Or wait for it to rust? This is not a good way, since we can't use it, why don't we sell it to others? Since our maintenance system can be used, other car maintenance companies can also use it, right?"
As long as we develop a cost-effective price for these second-hand auto parts, there is no reason for those auto maintenance companies not to use - before others have discovered this opportunity, we must take advantage of this opportunity to firmly grasp the opportunity, and so the market grows, it is impossible to have only one company, but we are an early adopter, we must become the largest one. ”
In Chen Geng's view, these scrapped car dismantling companies are actually mountains of gold covered with a layer of soil, and what he has to do is to stake as much as possible before others realize that these mounds are actually mountains of gold, but there is no need to say this to Anderson.
Anderson nodded excitedly, as if he had seen the second-hand auto parts sorted out from Fernandez appear on the shelves of auto repair companies in Michigan and the United States - such a big business has to be at least hundreds of millions of dollars in sales a year, right?
He hurriedly said: "Boss, since you plan to make this business bigger and stronger, then we will build a warehouse and store the parts removed from the car demolition company in different categories so that we can sell them to others." ”
Chen Geng's head, he has long thought of warehousing, not only warehousing, but even further: since Chen Tian is in front, why can't he take the location of his company as the core and build a Detroit "Chen Tian" around?
The reason why Chen Tian's parts can quickly occupy the market is not to rely on the advantage of cost performance, if their own car parts enter the market at the price of one-third or even one-quarter of the price of new parts, it must not be a problem to open the situation in a short period of time.
Don't think that Americans don't like to take advantage of small advantages, for ordinary people, living at home, they can spend less money if they can spend less money, the money of the people of any country is not blown by the wind, and the people of the United States are the same, as long as they are clearly told that this is a second-hand car dismantling parts, the price is cheap, and it is the same use, Chen Geng does not believe that some people are not impressed- To say the disadvantage, it may be that the use time of the parts is relatively short, but this is not a big problem, the money for a new part is enough to replace the old parts several times, and when you change the parts next time, maybe your car has been sold for a long time.
Anderson smirked, his eyes glazed over, he was already looking forward to such a big business, and how much benefit the boss would share with him.
It was Chen Geng, who was carrying the hand on the window of the car gently knocking on the window, thinking about something, and after a while, Chen Geng finally made a decision, he turned to Anderson and asked: "Anderson, if I hand over this business to you to run, are you sure?"
Anderson was frightened by Chen Geng's words, and looked at his boss Chen blankly, his face was full of shock, and his teeth trembled non-stop: "Bo...... bo...... Boss, are you...... It's ......"
Facing Anderson's shocked gaze, Chen Geng nodded and said, "You're right." ”
"Yes...... But ......"
"You know, I've never been a stingy person, any employee, as long as he shows his ability and value, I won't hesitate to reward him, and you are the same, the way to cooperate with the car demolition company is what you think of, as a reward for you, you can get 20% of the shares of this business......"
Anderson's throat and eyes "clicked", and he almost fainted with excitement.
He knew that his boss was a generous boss, and he also knew that after this thing was successful, the boss would definitely not hesitate to give him a reward, but he never thought that the reward given to him by the boss would be so big: 20% of the shares of this business were given to him?!
Doesn't that mean that he has changed from an ordinary wage earner to a business partner of the boss?!
"Drive well," looking at Anderson, who was in a bit of a trance, Chen Geng said angrily: "I don't want you to lose your life before you get rich." ”
"Hey......
Anderson also realized that now was not the time for him to be happy, so he laughed honestly twice, tried to control his emotions, and then said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in this career......"
"Don't be too happy too early," Chen Geng interrupted him honestly and unceremoniously: "You must remember the points I said next. ”
Anderson immediately silenced, nodded obediently, and waited for Chen Geng to say, a fool also knows that the opportunity to change his fate has come, Anderson is not a fool, of course he knows this better.
