Chapter 339: The New Situation of the Industry

After coming out of Hexian Fang, after the three of them said goodbye at the gate, Zhang Haotian rode his mountain bike and left first.

This time, Lin Qiang took the initiative to ask himself to dinner, and brought Li Wan over, which made him a little surprised. He knew very well that Li Wan had liked him when he was in college, but he already had a girlfriend at that time, so he could only reject her ruthlessly, and lost contact with her after graduation, but he didn't expect to meet her here in Fengcheng.

When I met for the first time, I saw her and Lin Qiang acting intimately, and thought they were a couple, but later I learned that they were just business partners, Lin Qiang got married early, and the children were all in elementary school.

When he saw Li Wan again many years later, Zhang Haotian's eyes lit up at that time.

Li Wan was more beautiful in college, and she also added a lot of mature women's charm, he didn't know if Li Wan had become a family, or had a boyfriend, so he wanted to ask her out to meet, but Li Wan said that she was busy every time, and she refused to accept his invitation, Zhang Haotian is the kind of person who is very sensible, and he doesn't want Li Wan to misunderstand that he has any bad intentions, so he doesn't call her anymore, worrying that she will think that she is pestering her.

He even decided in his heart that a young and beautiful girl like Li Wan must have a boyfriend long ago, and she refused to go to the appointment, probably because she didn't want people to misunderstand.

This meeting made Zhang Haotian very pleasantly surprised to see that Li Wan still cared about herself, although she didn't say anything, but the expression on her face said everything, not only took the initiative to tell herself her QQ number and MSN, but when she went out, she also took out the club's gold card from her bag and gave it to him personally.

What surprised him even more was that when Lin Qiang was in Li Wan's bathroom, he quietly told him that Li Wan was still single and had no boyfriend!

And this meeting brought Li Wan a greater shock.

At this time, her heart was tumbling, not only regretting the misfortune that Zhang Haotian had encountered, but also feeling ashamed of her misunderstanding of him, and even more uneasy about her previous indifference and indifference to him. If Lin Qiang hadn't taken the initiative to ask him out to meet this time, he wouldn't have known how long he would have misunderstood him.

Lin Qiang glanced at her who was sitting in the passenger seat and was silent, and just drove silently without disturbing her. He knew that today was a very unusual day for her, the reversal of the plot was too big, and she needed time to digest it slowly.

Until she returned to the office of the real estate company, Li Wan still didn't say a word.

Lin Qiang used the excuse of going over to the river sand field to have a look, wanting to leave her time and space to be alone, but Li Wan stopped him.

"I'm fine, it's just that things are changing so fast that I can't come back to my senses for a while. ”

Lin Qiang smiled, poured her a glass of water, and sat down across from her.

"We really misunderstood Zhang Haotian, if Chen Haishen hadn't intentionally mentioned him this morning, I wouldn't have thought that he still had so many hidden secrets. To be honest, Zhang Haotian has always had a good impression on me. Lin Qiang said. Zhang Haotian had always behaved very calmly in front of them before, without the slightest pretentiousness, Lin Qiang was still difficult to understand at the time, and couldn't figure out how a talented and sunny person like him could eat soft rice?

Li Wan smiled bitterly, Lin Qiang had praised Zhang Haotian in front of her many times, but he had a preconceived preconception about him in his heart, and he had always resisted contacting him. Before she met him again in Fengcheng, Zhang Haotian had always left a good impression in her heart, although she rejected herself in college, Li Wan never blamed him, but was moved by his honesty and single-mindedness in her feelings.

I remember the first time I talked to Lin Qiang about Zhang Haotian, when Lin Qiang asked her if Zhang Haotian was very good, he was still very proud to say that Zhang Haotian was at least not much worse than him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Haotian appeared in front of them with such a face and slapped her in the face.

Li Wan was so shocked and lost at that time that she couldn't help but lie on Lin Qiang's shoulder and cry bitterly, and her mentality began to change. And Lin Qiang originally gave her a lot of attraction from the beginning, and with the deepening of the relationship, she was gradually fascinated by his talent and style, plus the blows from Luo Zhiyong and Zhang Haotian, compared with the two, Lin Qiang's image in her mind became even higher, and finally by coincidence, she willingly offered her first time to him.

Li Wan has never regretted having an intimate relationship with Lin Qiang, on the contrary, she is grateful to Lin Qiang for untying the knot in her heart, and she has enjoyed the fun, even if she is facing Zhang Haotian today, her heart is also very open, although she knew that she had misunderstood him before, but even if she really has any development with him in the future, she does not need to blame herself.

She didn't know that Lin Qiang had quietly told Zhang Haotian that he didn't have a boyfriend yet, only when Zhang Haotian asked how old "their" child was, Lin Qiang mentioned that she didn't have a family, and at that time she also saw Zhang Haotian's eyes flashing a trace of surprise and excitement, Li Wan naturally wouldn't deliberately lie to him at this time that he already had a boyfriend, but he was embarrassed to say that he was still single, and only told him his QQ number and MSN when he was about to separate.

She also trusted Lin Qiang in her heart, knowing that he had always hoped that she could find her emotional home.

"Thank you. Li Wan looked at Lin Qiang and said, when she said this, she didn't know whether to thank Lin Qiang and praise Zhang Haotian, or thank him for his care and care for herself, or both.

Lin Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay to leave the matter here in Fengcheng to Xiao Zhang, I have to go back to Guangzhou in the afternoon, you can drive back to Yangzhou by yourself tomorrow, be careful on the road." ”

Guangzhou Gaoqiao Chaopai Company headquarters Wen Jie and Xiao Yan are presiding, Lin Qiang can rest assured, although Zhang Guozhi and He Guang were transferred to the Fengcheng branch, but the two successors they personally knew were quickly able to do the work, and the work in the headquarters has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Lin Qiang went back this time, in addition to preparing for the new plan he had been planning for this time, Xu Yangjie's report to him on the phone about the latest industry situation about the background wall also attracted his great attention.

The company's e-commerce department, led by Xu Chengjie, has made great progress since the second half of last year, and its sales volume has now surpassed that of physical franchise dealers.

In the office of the company's e-commerce department, Xu Chengjie reflected to Lin Qiang that he has been paying attention to the development of the Foshan background wall market, recently, not only there are many new color carving background wall manufacturers, but also launched a lot of new varieties, which attract the most attention is the bright color carving, 3D inkjet, K gold electro-optical process and high temperature burning background wall. He opened the station of the related company and asked Lin Qiang to see the new product introduction inside.

Lin Qiang himself has always been concerned about the development of the industry, and he admires the spirit of Foshan people who are constantly forging ahead and constantly studying new products, but also has a deep headache for their kind of swarming. When he took everyone to Foshan Cihai International last year to understand the market, he had already seen many large and small background wall brands stationed in the market, and began to fight and compete in disorder.

In the beginning, the average profit of ordinary flat color printing background wall was at least 300 yuan per square meter, and the color carving background wall was at least 700 yuan. With the maturity of background wall related equipment and technology, especially the popularity of UV inkjet machine, the cost of an ordinary set of color carving machine has dropped to only more than 300,000 yuan, and a small color carving factory only needs to invest about 500,000 yuan to produce, and the huge profits immediately attracted a large number of followers, and even those who provide engraving machines and ink suppliers to the background wall industry, logistics companies that transport to the ceramic industry, and advertising companies that design brochures have also purchased production equipment and poured into the market.

According to Xu Chengjie's statistics, in Foshan, there are more than 100 background wall manufacturers with their own stations, and there are as many as hundreds of brands, and with the continuous development and maturity of the market, sales continue to increase at the same time, in order to seize market share, we began to reduce product prices, resulting in a sharp decline in product profits.

Lin Qiang actually expected that there would be such a tragic competition, fortunately, the tide brand company was one step ahead of the layout, not only took the lead in the development of a large number of franchised dealers in major cities across the country, the promotion and promotion of the first step, plus their leading edge in engraving technology and large-scale production, under the premise of ensuring product quality, the cost of the product is much lower than other manufacturers, although the ex-factory price of their company's products is also lowered with the market situation, but it can still ensure considerable profits.

It's just that after seeing the new products that Xu Chengjie found, Lin Qiang suddenly had a sense of crisis. These new bright color spray, 3D inkjet and high-temperature burning background wall are new processes, and it is not possible for their own companies to follow up, let alone lead others in technology. In particular, the high-temperature burning background wall is known as the most high-end product in the ceramic tile background wall, different from the traditional UV color carving background wall, high-temperature burning as a complex surface treatment process, its pattern needs to be printed by imported high-definition inkjet machine, and then spread a layer of transparent glass frit sintered into a transparent and high-gloss microcrystalline layer at a high temperature of 1200 degrees, Mohs hardness reaches 7, to protect the pattern layer of the underglaze color process, the pattern layer is firmly protected, long-term discoloration, can be used outdoors or the ground to withstand the harsh environment, is the surface physical and chemical properties of the tile tile background wall equivalent to the tile brick。

And Lin Qiang himself knows that the UV glaze layer on the surface of their company's current colored carved background wall is directly exposed, although the shelf life is also many years, but in the final analysis, it is just a carving and inkjet pattern at the bottom of the tile, which will inevitably oxidize and change color and even fall off after a long time.

"Manager Xu, you send the addresses of these stations to my mailbox, I want to find out better. Lin Qiang said: "In addition, I want to do a thorough integration of our original decoration alliance, you are an expert in this area, I plan to build a professional decoration commercial station, I don't know the specific operation inside, I hope your team will come up with a preliminary plan first." ”

Xu Chengjie said: "In fact, the station is not divided into commercial stations or others, mainly to see whether it has commercial value, including a clear and attractive profit model and competitive content, the station to develop, relying on the accumulated traffic, and through the profits that have been earned, and then put into advertising to expand traffic to form a rolling development." Building a station is very simple, the cost is not high, mainly the domain name, hosting, station system, Mr. Lin, you tell me the purpose and goal of building a website. ”

Lin Qiang said that he had made a plan in his laptop computer and sent it directly to his mailbox in a moment.

Back in his office, Lin Qiang called Wen Jie and Xiaoyan over, and after listening to their reports on the company's marketing and financial situation respectively, Lin Qiang analyzed the current industry situation with them.

Wen Jie and the others really didn't know that the situation in the industry had suddenly become so grim, and they couldn't help but worry about the Fengcheng branch that the company had just opened for less than half a year and invested more than 10 million yuan.
