Chapter Seventy-Nine: What Model to Buy?
"General Manager, you're back!"
Seeing Yang Quan appear in the office, Du Pearl hurriedly greeted him and said. After many days of training, Du Pearl took the lead in mastering the 70CC engine information and process with others, and has now been arranged by Yang Quan to continue to learn theoretical knowledge and be responsible for customer telephone reception in the office.
"Well, I'm back, have you had any phone calls lately?" Yang Quan took off his gloves and asked while greeting Lu Luo.
"There were a lot of calls from customers who wanted to buy our 125cc engines, and I explained on the phone that there are only 70CC models currently in production. Wait a minute, I'll report back to you on the customer information that has been booked. Du Pearl explained.
"Okay, let's introduce my new colleagues. Lu Luo, your direct leader, is temporarily the head of the sales department. Yang Quan said, and then continued to face Lu Luo: "This is Du Zhuzhu, a big assistant I found for you, who is also from Jinling, I believe you have something to talk about." Wait a minute, let her show you around the factory.
The sales department is poor and white, and there is no background or any planning, I hope you can work together to build the sales department and improve the system. Our products are not worried, and I will leave the next things on the customer's side to you, don't let me down. ”
Seeing that Yang Quan's pressure was still coming out, Lu Luo pursed his lips and nodded heavily to indicate that he understood. Now he needs to put aside all the glory of the past, seal everything before, and take every day in Yangfan Factory seriously.
When Du Pearl heard that a top boss had come, he was a little disappointed. She received a lot of consultation calls during this time, and when she went home at night to study carefully, she saw that this market was very broad and worth investing in. I thought she would be in charge of the sales department, but I didn't expect Lu Luo to come down halfway.
She also knows in her heart that although she has hard work, she has a serious lack of experience in sales, and she really needs a leader to lead her growth. Du Pearl also clearly heard Yang Quan's introduction as a temporary sales supervisor, and it seems that Lu Luo has not won Yang Quan's full trust, and he is also in the confirmation of newcomers like her.
……
In the conference room, Yang Quan sat in the main seat and listened to Du Zhuzhu skillfully explain the customer's call to inquire about the matter and the expected visit time, and she also briefly introduced the customer information after each customer.
Lu Luo also stretched out his head to listen carefully, silently thinking in his heart that if he made phone records, he would definitely not do as well as Du Zhuzhu, and his subordinate would indeed be a big assistant as Yang Quan said.
"We don't have a standard for receiving customers for the time being, and I suggest that customers regardless of size come out with a unified standard. We can help you book a guest house or hotel at your own expense. However, to arrange a vehicle pick-up, my personal opinion is that it is better to have a company vehicle to facilitate travel. Du Pearl paused and looked at Yang Quan when he said this.
Yang Quan thought that it was indeed inconvenient for the company to use the car, and he traveled from Jinling to and from the factory during this time, and every time he squeezed the bus and then transferred to Mazda back. Not only is the time not up to me, but the smell of the bus is not comfortable. If you want to buy it, you can buy two cars before the price increases, one for the company, and one for the company.
"Director Lu, you also heard what Du Pearl said just now. Before you get off work tomorrow, you make a reception standard. Du Zhuzhu, you and the customer confirm the time and arrange a schedule to come out. I'll try to find time to deal with you a few times, but then it's up to you. I'll take care of the car. If time is running out, put this item aside. Yang Quan thought about it and said, the tone of the work arrangement in his words was unquestionable, regardless of whether Lu Luo was suitable for direct orders.
"Okay," they replied nodding.
"Then you take Director Lu to familiarize yourself with the situation first, and when you rest at three o'clock, I will take him to meet other colleagues. Yang Quan looked at his watch and said.
The two of them saw that there was no other arrangement, and they both left the conference room.
In the conference room, Yang Quan was thinking about what car model. If the reception company receives customers, 80% of the people in the future choose Buick GL8 or Honda Odyssey and other business MPVs, on the one hand, the appearance is good, the configuration is rich, the space is comfortable, the materials are good, on the other hand, it has experienced the market test, and the quality is trustworthy.
If you push back a few years, that is, in the early 90s, Yang Quan, who had just entered a Japanese company, clearly remembered that when the joint venture bought imported duty-free cars, most of the Japanese companies chose the Lexus Lexus ES300, and the American companies chose the first-generation Buick Boulevard (Park avenue). Both options are also very good, and the drivers who drive the customers who take the car have a face.
But now it is eight or eight years, and there are not many models on the market, so it is still a headache for Yang Quan to consider the price and business.
Most of the models on the road now are Fiat 126P, Lada 2107, Lada 2108 and FSO Polonaiz, Old SH, Volga and the like from Poland in barter. The more high-end is the Audi 100 assembled with imported CKD parts, but this car can't be bought with money, and you have to have an identity at this point in time.
In terms of price, Yang Quan likes the price to be slightly cheaper after all, and it is not cost-effective for Yang Quan to buy two quantities at a time as a transition car. But in terms of price, the cheap ones are certainly not suitable for business.
After thinking for half an hour, Yang Quan remembered the Shancheng Beiquan brand van driven by Zhuang Dazhuang before, which looked similar to Mitsubishi's L300 and Toyota Hiace.
At this time, the Toyota Hiace entering the Chinese market are the second-generation HIACE H20~H40 series, and the quality recognition of Toyota by the Chinese people also starts from this point in time. Yang Quan chose more possibilities to be imported products from the second-generation series, but inwardly speaking, the appearance of the third-generation HIACE H50 is more suitable for his taste.
The third generation has entered the Chinese market since 85 years and has been imitated by domestic goddesses, wolf mountains, peony and other large and small cars, but the model with the most copycats is the fourth-generation HIACE H100, which is also a Jinbei sea lion produced by technology transfer to Shen) Yang Jinbei.
