Chapter 031: Potatoes for Color TVs
"Zixian, I read the report on the development of supporting production lines for remote control systems you wrote, and it is very good. However, the production of this circuit board needs too many machines, what electroplating line, immersion copper wire, cleaning machine, immersion nickel gold wire, oven, edging machine, cutting machine, and what gong machine, drilling machine, air compressor, tin spraying machine, photoplotter...... How much does it cost to have so much equipment?" Luo Shouwu asked with a curious expression.
"Probably, maybe more than 1 million......"
Luo Shouwu was silent for a while, rubbed his forehead and said, "Well, I know." β
Yu Zixian knows that as soon as the current Director Luo talks about money, he has an urge to beat people, and he still has to pay attention to it in the future.
"Let's talk about the production line of the remote control housing, I think this requires less equipment. β
"Okay, Director Luo, I understand. The remote control shell needs a lot less machine, and the technical requirements are not too high, which is just right for us to match. β
"Well, after all the investment in the joint venture factory is in place, we will talk to them again, and if the negotiation is completed, we will go directly to the remote control shell production line. β
"The factory director, I'll go first. β
"Well, go ahead. β
"Wait......" As soon as Yu Zixian turned around, Director Luo called out to him again.
"Zixian, you have a flexible head and a lot of ideas, you can think about how we can sell our stock color TV without losing money or losing less......"
"Factory director,I've thought about it for a while.,But there's really no good way.,And during this time18The price of the 18-inch color TV has dropped a little bit...... So it's hard to sell without losing money. β
In the first half of the year, the normal ex-factory price of an 18-inch color TV is basically above 2200 yuan.
Due to the adjustment of the production line in the early stage and the reasons of cooperative production, the cost price of Sifang Factory is already high, and the cost price of one unit is about 1,900 yuan, plus the backlog of several months, the cost may have to be raised by another 100 yuan.
However, the price of the recent color TV is still unstable,It is still decreasing,It is possible to fall below 2000,In addition, if you want to deal with a large number of them,The price will be very low,The loss of one is more than 500 yuan,This is the loss of several million;If it is sold at the current market price,But it takes a lot of time and energy,Organize and build your own sales channels,And these are what the Sifang factory that specializes in production lacks,And selling it yourself cannot guarantee that all will be sold in time,Continuing to drag on for a year and a half may cause greater lossesγ So now the factory can't make up this decision.
However, as time goes by, manufacturers will also join the price war, or the larger size products produced by other manufacturers will be listed on a large scale, and the price will only be lower, so in order to stop the loss, the best way for the factory is to sell the backlog of inventory as soon as possible at a price that is acceptable to the cost.
"Yes, we are so short of money that we always want to sell the TV set with a guaranteed principal, but looking at the current situation, we must make a move, otherwise it will really fall into my hands. In November, there will be a loan of 5 million yuan to be repaid, and the wages of cadres and workers should be paid a little more or less in the past few months, after all, it is about to reach the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and our workers are living too hard. I really hope ...... Hey, let's not talk about it. β
"Director Luo,This won't work,Can you fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the workers in the factory,Whoever can have a way to sell these color TVs at a guaranteed price,Whoever will be rewarded,Of course, the reward should be calculated according to the number of units sold and the selling price,There is no upper limitγ There is strength in numbers!"
Director Luo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I will discuss it at the meeting tomorrow, after all, the funds involved are relatively large, and it is better to issue them in the form of formal documents." β
Luo Shouwu sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go." β
After Yu Zixian withdrew, he looked at the time, it was past the end of work, and he went home.
After eating, Yu Zixian sat in the living room and watched TV with the old man, just after seven o'clock, CCTV "News Network" was playing on TV.
The sudden broadcast of this article attracted Yu Zixian's attention:
"The working meeting of the Chinese and Soviet foreign ministers held that the Gulf issue should be resolved peacefully......
Yes, it's September 2nd.
On 1 August 1990, negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the oil issue broke down. And at 1 a.m. (Kuwaiti time) on 2 August, three divisions of the Iraqi Republican Guard crossed the Kuwaiti border and launched a surprise attack on Kuwait.
This led to the outbreak of the Gulf War, the first local war since the end of the Cold War, six months later, in February 1991. The model and thinking pioneered by the Gulf War have also become a model for modern warfare to be emulated by militaries around the world.
After the Gulf War, the Soviet Union finally collapsed, putting an end to the bipolar pattern. The United States won a resounding victory in the Gulf War and became the only superpower since the Cold War......
And the USSR!
At this time, the Soviet Union was on the eve of its disintegration: the Soviet Union, with its secret police forces, financial oligarchy, and political oligarchy, was extremely corrupt, while the people's lives were extremely difficult, the ruble was seriously devalued, the purchasing power of the common people was seriously reduced, and domestic materials, goods, especially daily necessities, were extremely scarce, and people had to queue up in an endless long queue early in the morning in order to buy their daily necessities, and even the Soviet people could no longer buy the necessary goods in stores and supermarkets......
Anyway, in a word, the Soviet people at this time were in a state of extreme shortage of living materials.
But now I have a TV in my hand, which doesn't seem to be a necessity, even if I learn from those people to export the TV to the Soviet Union, it may not be able to sell it!
The opportunity is clearly in front of you, but you can't grasp it, it's so uncomfortable!
No, Yu Zixian always feels like something is missing?
Think again...... However, many international masters who gave birth to the Republic sell all the daily necessities that can be transported to the past, as long as they send them over, they are all kinds of money, and after the things are sent, the price is calculated by themselves......
Yu Zixian's saliva was about to fall, and he was a little puzzled, how many good opportunities to make a fortune would he miss if he stayed to engage in enterprises and industries?
However, thinking about the importance of the electronics industry in the future, Yu Zixian could only sigh and think of a classic line in the Soviet movie "Lenin in 1918": "There will be bread, there will be milk, everything will be fine...... This is what Lenin's defender Vasily said when he comforted his half-starved wife before going to the countryside to collect grain, in fact, he only went to collect potatoes at that time......
Hey, potatoes, bread, damn TV!
It's really not okay, we can send potatoes, bread, clothes, gloves, leather jackets, etc., anyway, it's all about making money, but how to get a TV?
We find people who need a TV and exchange it for the potatoes we need?
I can think of it?
As long as it can be transported to the Soviet Union, Yu Zixian dares to guarantee that even a potato can be sold at a good price!
So the "potato for color TV" plan, which was widely praised by people in all directions, was released......
Yu Zixian didn't sleep well all night when he was excited, and his mind was full of bread and potatoes and TV. He thought about it all night, this is a way to solve the backlog of color TVs......
