After the business manager and the production department have finished speaking, the business manager and the production department have placed orders on some internal issues within the company, such as: employee benefits, travel plans, insurance policies and so on!

Xu Zhi didn't care about these little things, and after the matter was discussed, Xu Zhi said: "The financial manager and the general manager stay, and the others will break up first!"

The most important thing for a company is its financial situation, but there are too many people in a large company's meeting, and the company's financial situation cannot be discussed in front of them.

After everyone left, Xu Zhi asked, "What is the situation of the company's funds now?"

Yang Xindao: "At present, the company has more than 20,000 orders in the United States, and the deposit for each unit is 600 US dollars, and then we must continuously place orders to the motherboard factory of Deyi, and the American OEM side is also unwilling to delay the account, but fortunately, the dealer is also fast to collect the money, and there are almost 22 million US dollars on the account of the United States, but only 7 million US dollars is the previous profit, and the others need to pay for the goods in the future, and only when the goods are sold, we will make a profit." ”

It has been 2 months since Xiangjiang Square landed in the United States, and more than 10,000 arcade machines have been sold, and there are more than 20,000 orders in hand.

Xu Zhi asked, "What about Xiangjiang?"

Yang Xin said: "The arcade machines on this side of Xiangjiang are mainly sent to RB and other places outside the United States, because of the lack of production capacity, so basically we pay back quickly, but the total orders are not as good as the United States, and the current profit is about 3 million US dollars." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "That's not bad." ”

Yang Xin said: "However, there are more and more orders from Xiangjiang, if the procurement department exerts some pressure, it should be possible to press the payment from the supplier for a period of time, and the future orders from the United States can also be handed over to the foundry in Xiangjiang, so that we can use a lot more funds." ”

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Yes, although our company is not short of liquidity now, this method can indeed make more profits." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Then you can look at it, but don't press it too hard, suppliers and foundries also want to make money, the profit is too low, I'm afraid they will find a way to save costs in terms of quality, then we will lose more than we gain!"

"I'll pay attention!" He Guoyuan said again: "Xu Sheng, recently, our employees in Southeast Asia have found a batch of fakes, which should be a factory secretly infringing on our copyright and secretly producing an arcade machine for Xiangjiang Cubes. ”

Xu Zhi asked, "Do you know where it is produced?"

He Guoyuan said: "This is also a problem, we can't find it at all, these goods have no copyright, naturally it is impossible to enter through formal channels from the customs, and they should also be smuggled products." ”

Xu Zhi asked, "Does it have a big impact on us?"

He Guoyuan said: "We currently have three big markets: the United States, RB and Europe, which are basically unaffected, but the sales in Southeast Asia are very low, because the price of this kind of piracy is only half of ours......"

Xu Zhi asked, "Then how did you deal with it?"

He Guoyuan said: "We reported to the police locally, but because it was an economic dispute, it was very slow to deal with it. ”

"How can this be an economic dispute?" Xu Zhi asked with a frown.

He Guoyuan smiled bitterly: "We can only quarrel with the local department store owners, and there are quite a few of them, which is naturally an economic dispute!"

Xu Zhi asked: "We have a general distributor in the local area, right?"

He Guoyuan said: "Yes." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, then tell the dealer, lock up a company with the worst attitude, sue the court, according to the local law, what crime is serious, and then outside the official, you can also use other means, in short, to force the other party to death." ”

He Guoyuan said: "Do you want to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes, if this kind of thing is not stopped, I am afraid that there will be more and more piracy, and maybe it will spread to the European and American markets." ”

He Guoyuan said: "Okay, I understand!"

Xu Zhi said again: "I will stay in Xiangjiang for a period of time in the future, and you will be responsible for the negotiations with York!"

He Guoyuan asked: "Then what is our reserve price?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "What is the reserve price now, I haven't even looked at the equipment, and even if I do, I don't know if it's good or not, let alone the price."

You first go to the United States with Cao Lizhong to see their equipment, and then bring some materials and samples back, send them to a professional organization for identification, see how the quality and technology are, and when these are confirmed, we will negotiate.

In addition, choose a professional third-party appraisal agency from RB, and after the technology is determined to be okay, let them go to the United States to evaluate the value of the production line or the entire department of York, we must know the value of the other party, otherwise the negotiation will not be able to negotiate. ”

He Guoyuan said: "Okay, I understand, the price of the equipment is easy to estimate, but if York really wants to sell the entire refrigerator business, then we?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Actually, I now prefer to be able to acquire their entire department, I checked the information before returning to Xiangjiang, this York currently has more than 4,000 sales points in the United States, more than 300 maintenance sites, if we can take over directly, then even if we start to lose a little, the later product sales will be much more convenient."

After all, York's technology is actually not worse than RB's, but the production cost in the United States is too high, and it can't compete with RB's company. ”

In fact, many American companies in this era have encountered such problems, and some more discerning American companies know that the cost cannot play RB, so they move their production lines to Mexico and Southeast Asia.

However, many of these countries are unsupportable, with low average education, lazy thinking, not thinking positively, serious religious and cultural conflicts, government corruption, and other problems, which have led to European and American companies even if they come to invest, either the production capacity can not keep up with or the quality cannot keep up, and they have to lose the wheat city.

It was not until the 90s that the mainland began to open up on a large scale, with high-quality workers and good policies, that many manufacturing industries in the United States found their own world factories!

In the 80s, many American companies did not know the policy and just wanted to sell their products to the mainland, but the reason why the mainland government opened up in the 80s was to be able to use foreign capital to earn more foreign exchange, so if you want to earn foreign exchange in the mainland, then don't dream.

Many European and American companies have lost this golden decade, and now as long as they buy York's sales channels and technology, and invest in the mainland, although they cannot enter the mainland market, the cheap labor is enough for the company to regain a foothold in the European and American markets.

He Guoyuan said: "Then I went to the United States to see each other again, and Xu Sheng, how is the technology introduction of the motherboard factory?"

Xu Zhidao: "Texas Instruments didn't give me a clear reply, if you go to the United States this time, you can also go to San Francisco by the way, and tell them that if you don't give a reply, we will introduce a production line from RB, and they should understand what I mean." ”

"Okay, I understand too!" He Guoyuan smiled, the production line was introduced from RB, and since then, it has been ordered for arcade motherboards, so it is naturally the same.
