Chapter 110: Distress

When Hu Xuefeng saw He Hengjian, he saw this man with a full face of stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't rested well for a long time.

He Hengjian has indeed not slept peacefully for a long time, in order for the first batch of washing machines to roll off the assembly line on time, he eats and sleeps in the factory.

After more than two months of continuous debugging, this is the first batch of washing machines from Midea.

He Hengjian thinks it's worth it, even if he loses eight pounds more, he thinks it's worth it, because the offline of this batch of washing machines will mean that Midea is no longer a small factory that can only make electric fans.

Hu Xuefeng was also very excited, touching these washing machines that had been designed by himself, he felt very pleased, but he couldn't help but ask, "Have you debugged it?"

He Hengjian nodded vigorously, if he hadn't debugged it, he wouldn't have dared to take these washing machines to Yangcheng in person, it would be really embarrassing.

"How many units are in the first batch?"

"One hundred!"

Hu Xuefeng nodded, Midea can so quickly transform from a small factory that can only make electric fans to a household appliance manufacturer that can make washing machines, which is certainly related to his own golden finger, but he can't underestimate the efforts of He Hengjian, a group of beautiful people.

It's just that Hu Xuefeng feels that the current output of Midea is not enough, and he will produce 100 units in two months.

"Can production be expanded?"

After the trip to Taizhou, Hu Xuefeng felt that he should spend money when he should spend money, as long as he can support so many home appliance companies that can compete with Xiaori in the international market, he is willing to let him spend more money.

He Hengjian touched his hand very embarrassed, why didn't he want to expand production?

But even the first batch of 100 washing machines were all made by all the workers of Midea working overtime, just like this, all the Midea people have no bottom in their hearts, the washing machine is made, but whether it can be sold is still a question.

After listening to the worries in He Hengjian's heart, Hu Xuefeng was not in a hurry to say what he thought, but asked Zheng Xiutong to pull all the 100 washing machines to the Gome store.

He Hengjian originally planned to sell the first batch of washing machines at 330 yuan, but after Hu Xuefeng thought about it, he decided, "All 300 yuan." ”

He Hengjian thought that Hu Xuefeng was not confident, but where did he know that Hu Xuefeng planned to play the trick of hungry sales, 300 yuan, Hu Xuefeng believed that in less than a week, a hundred Midea washing machines would be coaxed out, and once the market was out of stock, the reputation of Midea washing machines would be hyped out.

August 3, 1981 was an ordinary day, but it was a time of special significance for Gome Electric, Midea Electrics and even China's home appliance industry.

On this day, six Gome electrical appliance sales stores in Yangcheng, such as Beiping Road, Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, and Hedong, all played billboards with "Midea washing machines, new choices for life", and marked the shocking price of 300 yuan in red in the most conspicuous place of the billboard.

The citizens of Yangcheng City, when they saw this giant billboard, were stunned at first, and then they became curious, everyone thought that they could buy a washing machine for 300 yuan?

Some people who are familiar with the history of Gome electrical appliances thought that Gome was selling second-hand electrical appliances again, so they didn't pay much attention to it, but when they knew that Gome was selling a brand-new Midea washing machine this time, they all regretted it and wanted to cry, because when they went, the Gome store was already sold out.

Those unaware Yangcheng residents, attracted by this advertising signboard, couldn't help but walk into the sales store of Gome electrical appliances, after entering the door, the first thing they felt was the unique style of this electrical appliance sales store, whether it was the decoration style or the furnishings in the store, they were all bright.

But the most important thing is that when they asked about the Midea washing machine and learned that it was a new household washing machine developed and produced by Midea Electric in Foshan, and the retail price was only 300 yuan, everyone felt as if they had been hit by a huge wave.

"What, three hundred dollars?"

Hearing that the washing machine of Midea only costs 300 yuan, many people think it is incredible, how is this possible, even in the friendship store, a washing machine costs at least 356, like Xiaori benzene, it costs 7800 or even 1,000 yuan.

Gome's clerks, in the face of these doubts, still explained very patiently, and told these customers that Midea's washing machine was indeed priced at 300.

It's boiling!

From the curiosity at the beginning, to the suspicion that followed, and then to the personal admission of the Gome clerk, all the people of Yangcheng who entered the Gome store couldn't help but touch their pockets.

Three hundred yuan, three hundred yuan can buy a washing machine?

In the past, this was something they couldn't think of, but now, this kind of good thing is in front of them.

Especially when the Gome clerk told all customers that the first batch of Midea washing machines was only 100 units, and the second batch of washing machines might not be made until the end of the year, the customers who entered the store were in a hurry.

If you have money in your pocket, you can directly take out the ticket on the spot.

If you don't have any money in your pocket, you can only ask the clerk to keep it for you, and then you immediately turn around and go home to get the money, and everyone is scrambling for fear of slowing others down by half a beat.

Hu Xuefeng and He Hengjian are at the Gome flagship store on Beiping Road, which is also the store with the most customers, and when all the 50 washing machines in the Beiping Road store were sold out one morning, Hu Xuefeng immediately made a decision and asked to transfer 15 washing machines from each of the three less important places of Huangpu, Jiangcun and Dongshan.

He Hengjian sighed at Gome's strong sales ability, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but ask Hu Xuefeng, "Mr. Hu, why do you tell these people that our first batch of washing machines is only 100 units?"

He Hengjian felt that if Hu Xuefeng didn't sell it with such fanfare, it would not be impossible for these 100 washing machines to survive until the second batch of production lines.

Hu Xuefeng smiled, and then pointed to the customers in the store who were scrambling to pay, and said, "Boss He, you should know that for the world, this unobtainable thing is the most precious thing, if you don't believe it, just look at it, and when our batch of goods is sold, the reputation of your beautiful washing machine will spread." ”

After speaking, Hu Xuefeng said in a somewhat joking tone, "If I were you, I would definitely not think about how to survive until the second batch of washing machines rolled off the assembly line, but would think about how to expand production, right?"

In less than a day, all 100 Midea washing machines were sold out, and none remained, at this time, He Hengjian was really anxious.

100 units, 300 yuan each, this is 30,000 yuan of sales, if this business can be so hot every day, how good would it be?

He Hengjian finally realized the distress of happiness, he had to think about what Hu Xuefeng said to himself, and he had to think about how to expand the production of Midea's washing machines.
