The annual revenue of two bicycle companies in the tens of millions is definitely not an unimaginable thing.

You know, the number of bicycles in the country has always been very high, although the bicycle industry has been shrinking in recent years, but in the final analysis, it is because of the rise of private cars and motorcycles, as well as the entry of foreign bicycle companies, which has seriously affected the development of the domestic market, snatching away a large number of market shares, resulting in a bad time for domestic manufacturers.

But it's just not easy, in fact, even in the future, Huaxia's bicycle ownership is still second to none in the world. So many bicycles, means a fairly large market, how to grab the market back, this is the problem that domestic manufacturers should think about. First of all, it is important to have a strict control over the quality, but at the same time, it can't really be as honest as it was in the sixties and seventies, and you can't ride a bicycle for 20 years. It's not that Zhou Fangyuan has no conscience, but the law of the market is like this, you do things too well, not only hated by peers, but also will greatly delay the replacement of the bulldozing, this is not a small problem, if you just play games at home, it doesn't matter, anyway, people will have to change cars or buy new cars sooner or later, and they don't worry about the products not being sold.

But with the opening of the country, foreign goods began to enter the country, and foreign goods have to admit that their appearance is really good-looking.

There is no way for the people to directly compare the poor quality of the two goods, as long as they are basically used, the people will definitely be more willing to choose good-looking goods. Domestic bicycles were originally of high quality, but because the appearance was not cool enough, they were suppressed enough by foreign products. In order to reduce costs and increase profits, we can only reduce the quality level of products, so as to obtain profit margins for price reduction. But in this way, the quality of domestic bicycles has become a problem, and now there is a situation where it is not up or down.

If the price is reduced, the quality must be reduced, but once the quality is reduced, the brand that has been established for decades will be smashed. But if you don't reduce the quality, the cost will not go down, the price will naturally not be able to fall, the same price, fools know to choose a better look, which is even more troublesome, in short, how to grasp one of the degrees, is a very troublesome thing.

Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan feels that the quality is to be controlled, if the original quality is too good, then reduce it, if the original quality is poor, then mention a little, in short, keep it in a suitable range, and then optimize the appearance, as much as possible to reduce the gap with foreign bicycles. After all, the advantage of China is that the labor cost is low, and whether it is permanent or Phoenix, it has a good history in the country itself, and the reputation has always been very good, which is the intangible value and a very important factor to attract customers.

Of course, the so-called tens of millions does not refer to all the revenue, it is meaningless, the so-called tens of millions refers to the company's net profit.

For the two factories of Perpetual and Phoenix, the annual profit is tens of millions, which is a situation they have not seen for at least ten years.

After all, the bicycle market is sluggish now, and as a large factory, the burden itself is heavy, and the car does not sell well, and it is normal for the income to deteriorate.

But now, with Zhou Fangyuan's ownership, public bicycles are blooming all over the country, not to say that there are only these two bicycle factories in China, Jinmen is another bicycle factory of the same size, there are many small factories in the south, as well as foreign companies, but to say that mass production of bicycles, and can well suppress the price, and ensure the quality, it must also look at the permanent and Phoenix, after all, the two factories have now begun to merge, and Phoenix is the earliest manufacturer of public bicycles, the experience is undoubtedly richer than other manufacturers。

The role of the domestic labor market, the labor cost is very, very low compared with foreign countries, and there is no tariff burden, it can be said that permanent Phoenix is the best supplier of domestic public bicycles, which is not comparable even to foreign manufacturers. Perhaps foreign manufacturers can do better in terms of the car itself, but what is the use? The terrible labor cost makes it impossible for them to push down the price, not to mention the customs tariff problem. If you build a factory in China, this can also be done, but the problem is that after they have approved, site selection, factory construction, installation of production lines, finished products off the production line, etc., it will be at least one or two years.

In one or two years, it is enough for the permanent Phoenix to spread public bicycles all over the country, which is the reason for leading step by step.

Once the public bicycle is fully rolled out, if there is damage or need to be repaired, is the local government willing to buy a batch of new cars directly? or let the permanent phoenix repair? This is not a problem to consider at all? So as long as the first batch of cars can be widespread throughout the country, in the field of public bicycles, no one can compete with the permanent phoenix. As long as this market is maintained, the two factories can live well. The two factories, which had already plummeted in stock prices and were almost about to go bankrupt, were revitalized.

But this is just the beginning, Zhou Fangyuan has gathered the masters of the two factories together, formed a research and development team, and at the same time hired experts from abroad, and invited special artists, ergonomics experts, etc., is currently developing a new generation of bicycles, better riding, more comfortable, and more beautiful. At the same time, Zhou Fangyuan also came forward to contact many laboratories specializing in new materials, hoping to get better and lighter bicycle body materials. In fact, there are many kinds of materials for the bicycle body, such as carbon fiber, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, special steel, scandium, carbon steel, etc., of course, the price will definitely go up if the material is good.

So these are all to be studied, to study the applicability, practicality, cost, etc., in short, the new car body research and development has begun, and the related parts are also being studied. But then again, manufacturers in different countries generally have something that can be taken out, and there are high achievements in a certain field, and the permanent phoenix wants to completely surpass, which is unlikely, after all, how many years has people been studying and how much experience they have accumulated, and you are basically starting from scratch on your side, how can it be so easy to catch up?

But then again, just because you can't catch up doesn't mean you can't catch up.

As a latecomer, Zhou Fangyuan is very clear about one thing, that is, in the two years before his rebirth, the country has transformed from a world factory and began to involve a large area of high-tech fields.

Why is that? because of decades of accumulation.

The Western world is worried that the Eastern world headed by China will catch up with or even catch up with them, and blockade China's scientific and technological development from all aspects, especially in the fields of military industry, high technology, and so on. Huaxia really has no choice, such a big country, since it is unwilling to kowtow to people, it must straighten up. Since foreign countries have blockaded us, then we will develop all of them ourselves, starting from all aspects, as long as it is a field that is not opened up abroad, China will study it by itself.

Zhou Fangyuan still remembers that he once watched a video before he was reborn, and the video was a discussion video discussing how many years later the third brother could reach the level of Huaxia.

Zhou Fangyuan wanted to say that he was not optimistic about the third brother at all.

Why?

Very simple.

There are two biggest reasons why China has been able to rise again? And it has not lost to the United States? There are two biggest reasons: On the one hand, it is its own strong ability, the quality of the people is high, and the intelligence of the Chinese people has been known to the world since ancient times. On the other hand, of course, there is a comprehensive development, because of the blockade of foreign countries, we have to develop all our own, and when all aspects have not been up, it seems that this country is a world factory, except for doing some low-level processing, there is no other ability. But quantitative change produces qualitative change, when China begins to rise again, the whole country, all aspects are getting stronger. It's like a dragon that has been sleeping for a long time and is slowly waking up.

The third brother is different, although they are also poor and weak, but they are not self-developing like Huaxia, but only want to rely on the help of Mi Guo's father, there is not even a complete industrial system in China, and there is even a quite strict hierarchy among the people, so as long as they don't change this situation at all, they don't want to rise again like Huaxia for a day...... Oh, the third brother can't use the word re-because they have never really risen.

In short, the country is in such a situation, so it should be the same when it is reduced to a permanent phoenix.

It doesn't matter if it's not as good as people now, after all, time is there, people spend a lot of time, money and energy, and have their own special technology, if it is surpassed all of a sudden, then wouldn't the previous investment be a joke? Zhou Fangyuan has never had such illusions, what he wants to see more is that the permanent phoenix can study his own technology little by little while living as much as possible and living a nourishing life. It is possible to thoroughly understand all the technologies that they don't understand, and take the road that foreign manufacturers have taken, and at the same time learn from the experience of the other party, take fewer detours, and finally achieve the purpose of overtaking in corners.

A country as big as China has done it, and there is no reason why such a small factory as Permanent Phoenix can't do it.

Of course, the premise is to have money, and if you don't have money, don't do any research.

At this point, although Zhou Fangyuan cannot give the greatest help to the permanent phoenix like investing in a smartphone, he can still provide some of the help he deserves. For example, in terms of funds, Zhou Fangyuan does not have much money on hand now, but it will gradually increase in the future, especially a few large projects, as long as they are successful, it will inevitably be the level of getting rich overnight. When the time comes, it will not be difficult to inject some funds into the permanent phoenix's side, to be honest.

After talking about bicycles, let's talk about the glass factory that hasn't been in the scene for a long time.

The history of the Beitong Glass Factory is quite long, and it was also a relatively good factory in those days, but why did it decay later? It is very simple, on the one hand, because it could not keep up with the pace of the market, which was a problem that many state-owned factories had in those days. There is another one, that is, when the Nanlong Glass Factory was established, a large number of skilled workers were transferred from the Beitong Glass Factory, including many high-level masters, which was a very heavy blow to the Beitong Glass Factory. After all, these masters, many people who have been immersed in this industry all their lives, are much broader than ordinary newcomers in terms of technology and vision.

Engaging in research and development can never be separated from these senior technicians, and with the transfer of these people, the technical strength of Beitong Glass Factory can be said to have declined overnight.

The follow-up research and development could not keep up at all, and with some factors that everyone knows, this factory is still about to go bankrupt after persisting for many years. It's just that before going bankrupt, Zhou Fangyuan took over the factory. When he took over, the factory was basically worthless. The glass in the warehouse, all of which are sold, isn't worth a fortune. Workers are just ordinary workers, completely incomparable with those masters, and even these ordinary workers, there are a lot of problems, to be honest, just to re-establish the glass factory, the idlers who are sent away account for 30% of all employees.

What kind of ratio is this? It can be said that after the Beitong Glass Factory changed owners, for a period of time, it was probably impossible to even start work normally.

Fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan did not let it restore production capacity immediately, but retrained the remaining workers before taking up their posts, after all, they are the most ordinary workers, and there is no problem in doing some mechanical work, and if they have a little bit of technology, they may not be able to do it. Zhou Fangyuan also invited some retired old workers back as training consultants in the factory, passing on the skills they had studied all their lives to newcomers. Of course, not all, after all, technology is valuable, and it can only make the existing ordinary workers have a higher level, and the real climax technology still has to be passed on by passing it on.

At this point, Zhou Fangyuan also did the same, hoping that these masters could bring a group of apprentices, apprentices in the real sense, and the company paid for it, which was equivalent to spending money to buy technology.

At the same time, Zhou Fangyuan also established a cooperative relationship with the Department of Chemistry of Peking University, established a laboratory, and studied the latest aluminum-silicon tempered glass. The next step is the study of mass manufacturing, and how to reduce the cost, after all, it will be used on the mobile phone, and the amount will be larger and larger, and the cost cannot be compressed, and large-scale preparation can not be carried out, and this technology is meaningless.

According to the other party, at most half a year, the relatively mature preparation process should be able to come out, and it should be able to meet the requirements of large-scale manufacturing at that time. Of course, it is not necessary to reach a particularly high level all at once, first meet the requirements to a certain extent, and then continue to develop research and development. At the same time, in order to avoid conflicts over patents, Zhou Fangyuan has also begun to make preparations for the next step.
