Chapter 240: European Planning
"BOSS, of course it's impossible to take orders now, it's unrealistic. "All the parts are made-to-order, only the people in the lab know how to assemble them, and it's impossible to produce a good product without training," Carlson said. And using them as assembly workers is undoubtedly a waste. ”
Evan looked at Carlson, "Look, you know it's a waste. So, you have to step up. ”
"The deadline is too long in April, and I need to press it again. ”
Carlson looked embarrassed, but in the face of Evan's pressure, he could not say no, and could only turn to his partner Wells for help. Wells received the signal, thought for a while, and said: "BOSS, I know that you are in a hurry to launch the photocopier to seize the market, but you understand that industrial production has its own laws, and if you want to compress the completion deadline, you may need to sacrifice some things, such as quality ......"
"No, quality has to be guaranteed no matter what. Evan interrupted Wells and said, "Wells, Carlson, I want you to understand that Girard is already in New York and is trying to get the performance parameters of copiers to the president's desk of every big company, and we don't have the production capacity right now. That's not going to work. ”
"So, you two listen up," Evan ordered forcefully, "I don't care what you do, I hope to see the production line in March at the latest, and if there is a difficulty, Karl will guarantee to provide the necessary resources." ”
"Now, answer me, can you do it?"
Seeing Evan show unprecedented strength and arrogance, Wells and Carlson suddenly felt in a pressure cooker, their whole bodies tensed, and in the face of Evan's question, they replied in unison without eye contact: "Yes." ”
At this moment, they can only have this answer.
Wells had a feeling that if he dared to say one more irrelevant word, it wouldn't be long before he would have to come back for a morning meeting.
Hearing their answers, Evan nodded with satisfaction, and his fierce momentum immediately subsided, "That's good." ”
After talking about the photocopier, in the end, only Carl was left unspoken, and Evan naturally set his eyes on him.
Carl wears many hats and has the most to say, so he opens his notebook to prevent it from slipping out.
"Ahem, boss, it's finally me after talking about it for so long. ”
Carl saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and habitually said some nonsense to warm up: "Wells, Carlson, don't feel too stressed, compared to me, you are much more relaxed." ”
"Well, without further ado, I'm here. ”
"First of all, the application health care company, the order belonging to the Marshall plan has been 40% completed, after the last shipment at the end of November, the next shipment is on the 23rd before Christmas. ”
"How's the feedback from Europe?" asked Evan.
"Very good, about the same as in the country. By the way, there are companies on the British side and the French side that have offered to cooperate in local production, and according to the telegram sent back by our correspondent to Europe, they have already left for the United States, and it is estimated that they will come to the door soon. ”
"BOSS, what do you want to do about this?"
Evan replied with a question: "What about your opinion?"
"Rejecting them, the potential of the Band-Aid has now been shown, and it can be called a cash cow, and there is no reason to cheapen others," Carr said. ”
"My advice is that if we don't have local production to keep up, we invest directly and set up factories in the UK or France. ”
Evan was noncommittal and looked at Wells: "Wells, tell me what you think?"
Wells has nothing to do with Applied Healthcare, but it's not surprising that everyone is asking about Evan. Because in fact, everyone is serving Evan, and Evan deliberately did this to let everyone open their eyes and not be limited to their own one-third of an acre.
Evan didn't just pay lip service to the Warren consortium.
A consortium needs countless talents, and it is unrealistic to poach people from other countries, and it is the king to start cultivating them from now on. This ensures loyalty, ease of grasp for Evan, and ensures that the talent is the right fit for the company.
Wells was stunned for a moment, he had just been a little distracted by Evan's imposition on the deadline, "Uh, boss, I'm on the same page as Carl on this matter. ”
"However, I think we can start planning now, and we don't need to wait for a gap in local production capacity. In addition, when building a factory, you can consider bringing in a small number of collaborators. ”
"Oh?" Evan motioned for him to elaborate.
Wells said: "The potential of Band-Aids is now all in the spotlight, including our partner Johnson & Johnson. It's just that the patent is in our hands, and this thing is not easy to bypass, so they are helpless and watch us eat alone. ”
"With Band-Aids, Applied Healthcare companies can grow steadily for a period of time in the future. But, BOSS, as you said, applied healthcare companies are not going to be producing only band-aids forever, sooner or later they will have to enter the pharmaceutical and other fields. In this case, if we eat alone, it is not appropriate. ”
"In the United States, we already have Johnson & Johnson. Europe is still in ruins, but with the help of the Marshall Plan, they will soon be able to recover and become the largest market outside the United States. Of course, we can't give up this market, so we also need one or more partners in Europe. ”
Evan bowed slightly, as if agreeing with Wells's point of view, "Carl, do you know which companies have sent people to the United States?"
Carl said a few names, all of which were long-established pharmaceutical companies, but Evan only had a slight impression of a company called GlaxoWellcome.
After hearing this, Evan commanded: "I think what Wells said makes sense, Carl, you can arrange it." ”
"Well, Carl, how is that commissioner's abilities?"
Carl gave an okay rating.
Evan continued: "Then you give him the task of collecting information about those companies from now on, and we can pick out the right candidates to be collaborators. ”
Karl should take it.
"Go on. ”
Carl glanced at his notebook, continued his thoughts, and said, "As for the production and domestic sales of Band-Aids, Lewis has already said that I will not repeat it. ”
"Next up is Applied Physical Systems......"
"I won't repeat the production part, but I'll focus on the construction of the customer service and warranty department. ”
"Customer service is an important part of building a brand, and for this reason, we have invested a lot of energy and financial resources to do it well. We have set up maintenance points in key cities and provided telephone online consultation services. At present, this part of the business is purely loss-making, but it has brought us a good reputation. ”8)
