Chapter 413: Hesitation
The deathly silence is undoubtedly a slap in the face for such a meeting.
This is the face of the management.
Because basically all of us here can't find a practical solution to the current dilemma.
This can be said to be basically on the dead end.
Now that they have signed the contract, it will show that their hopes are not very great.
At least this series of models, within this contract, it is difficult to get it back.
I have cooperated with this company for so long, and I probably know their temperament, and they will not default on this juncture.
Although it is said that for some companies, default is as simple as drinking water and eating. They have a thousand reasons to breach the law without being restricted by law.
However, since someone else has changed suppliers, then it proves that this supplier has merit.
"Mr. Wu, in fact, I mentioned it a long time ago......"
Suddenly, I saw a man ready to speak.
Ji Shunhua's face suddenly turned cold, this person is the person who has been agitating for the increase of powder coating lines, called Chen Hong.
"You say ......"
It's naturally a good thing to see someone talking, and it's better than a pool of stagnant water.
Someone has to throw bricks and jade.
"I know more about this Wuhe wheel, in fact, there is another one called Fangnan wheel.
These two are the northernmost and the other is southern.
They are hub companies that have recently been active at home and abroad, and they have one thing in common. ”
"They're all powder coated!"
Powder coating?
Except for this major shareholder, everyone else here knows this very well.
Although they all know that both companies use powder coating, they never think that it is because of powder coating that they sell so much.
But in the past six months or so, there are still some people who have wavered.
In fact, according to their experience for so many years, they naturally do not believe that the so-called change in spraying methods can bring about an increase in sales.
Due to these two wheel companies, the main customers are all abroad.
So they can't hear a lot of things, the news is not comprehensive enough, and the results of quality analysis will also be biased.
"Tell me about ......"
"I also learned a little bit about the advantages of powder coating.
But I also learned about it from the salesman of Zhimei New Materials, so it is not very comprehensive.
I think the biggest possibility is the reduction of costs, first of all, he has one less process.
Unlike paint spraying, which requires four processes, powder coating requires a maximum of three processes, and some even have only two processes.
How much manpower and material resources will have to be saved, although I haven't calculated, but I still have a base in mind. ”
In fact, he had said this twice before, but the people around him didn't take it seriously.
But today is different.
Today's atmosphere is different, so there will be some changes in people's way of thinking.
The cost of spraying is low, the consumption of manpower and material resources is low, and the price of the product is naturally low.
Today I talked about the car joint ventures of the two island countries, and the most notable thing about these two companies is cost control.
The wheels of the Kanula series of models use five-fold wheels, in fact, the biggest reason is still the price.
In terms of quality, their wheels are not much different from those of Wuhe Wheels, and even the quality of the new truck wheels is slightly better than that of Wuhe Wheels.
After a little analysis, there is only one reason, price advantage.
How does the price advantage of others come about?
It may be that the management cost is different, or it may be that the production cost is different.
Either way, most people prefer to believe that it is because the cost of production is different that the price difference will occur.
Management costs, this cost is not to say that there is no difference.
On the contrary, managing costs may make your product much less competitive.
Whether it is a 5S or 6S system, this result is to reduce production costs.
Especially for production-oriented enterprises, the greater the requirements for management, the higher the requirements.
This involves production efficiency, material management, and wastage.
Don't underestimate the management cost, if an excellent production enterprise is managed in place, it can even reduce the cost by 3% to 4%, which is not a small amount.
But now the new truck wheels and Wuhe wheels are competitors, so everyone knows what they know about Wuhe wheels.
In fact, the management costs of the two companies are not very different.
Then now the result is naturally on top of the cost of production.
"You mean to say that we also learn from Wuhe Wheel and re-establish a few powder coating lines?"
"Although it has not been confirmed, the business volume of the two companies has been increasing since the two companies switched to powder spraying.
This is actually very revealing, and the upfront investment here will not be very small.
According to our production volume, we will invest in three powder coating lines, which may cost more than 5 million.
And it's probably only about 30% of our production, but I still believe that if we switch to powder coating, there might be a real turnaround.
It won't be like this, like a slow death. ”
Chen Hong's words made many people frown.
The investment of more than 5 million is not very small, and this is only a part of the production volume.
If all of them are changed to powder coating, then the investment of Guangguang in the powder coating line will reach more than 15 million.
This is not good news for the new truck wheels, which are not very profitable in the first place.
And now most of the customers are not very good, which also leads to the fact that the cash flow of new truck wheels is not very high.
"I don't approve of it!"
Ji Shunhua has always disapproved of changing paint spraying to powder spraying.
Today he also voted against it.
"Actually, we don't have any evidence that it's because of the powder coating that they are spraying, so their sales are rising. ”
Ji Shunhua had already said so, and Chen Hong naturally closed his mouth.
At today's meeting, the real decision is naturally made by a few shareholders.
A few other people just put forward opinions, if the shareholders are not here in normal times, Ji Shunhua can still make a decision.
It is normal for some people to support it, but now several shareholders are very hesitant.
After switching to powder coating, the sales volume of two wheel hub companies, one in the south and one in the north, increased.
However, this does not mean that it is because of the switch to powder coating that the sales volume has increased.
Whether there is a causal link between the two is also uncertain.
But now the overall situation of the company, as Chen Hong said, is indeed a slow death.
More than 5 million production lines, in fact, is one production line, three colors of spraying, so three spraying lines are needed.
After the meeting, the shareholders are ready to vote on the number of shares.
Surprisingly, more than 70% of the votes were in favor of the establishment of a powder coating production line.
Now that the majority of shareholders have agreed, the company just needs to execute.
