Chapter 206: Decision to change production
Ding Hongxing thought about it for a long time, and then said: "Uncle Wang, with all due respect, it's not okay to run like you!" ”
Wang Jiefang not only did not have a displeased expression when he heard this, but said to Ding Hongxing with an expectant expression: "Hongxing, if you have any opinions, just say it." ”
Although Ding Hongxing is still only a middle school student, Wang Jiefang doesn't treat him as a child at all now, not to mention how good he was at the night when he accompanied him to the casino, even if he usually heard Wang Zhihua say that Ding Hongxing's things are a lot, Ding Hongxing's store is running very well, although the store is very different from the factory, but this at least shows that Ding Hongxing still has a unique way of doing business.
So today, Wang Jiefang asked Ding Hongxing to come to the factory, in fact, he wanted to hear Ding Hongxing's opinion.
Ding Hongxing said: "Uncle Wang, if you continue to operate like this, you will only make tens of thousands of yuan in profits a year, but last time you were cheated out of more than 100,000 yuan, although you borrowed money from the bank, but the bank loan still has interest, and the interest for a year is more than 20,000 yuan, and almost half of these profits have to be repaid with interest, which year can the principal be repaid?" ”
Wang Jiefang's brows furrowed, he nodded heavily, this question, the accountant in his factory told him, it turned out that when he had money in his hand, it was good to say, at least he didn't have to pay too much interest, and the annual profit was enough to make his family live a very nourishing life, but now that he was burdened with heavy interest, his life was not so good.
This is still the best consequence of Ding Hongxing helping him, if he fails to get a loan in the bank and borrows from a loan shark, the consequences are really unimaginable.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Jiefang deeply hated that liar, and that liar cheated him out of his hard work for several years at once!
Ding Hongxing said: "If I didn't help you at the beginning, you would have committed suicide by borrowing usury, but now if you continue to operate like this, it will only be a short breath, and in a few years, as soon as the machinery and equipment in your factory are scrapped, you will basically have nothing left." ”
Wang Jiefang was even more worried when he heard this, although Ding Hongxing's words were not very good, but it was indeed the truth, if he continued to operate like this, if he was lucky, he might be able to pay off bank loans and other debts in a few years, but the machinery and equipment had basically reached the age of scrapping, and what could he have left at that time?
Wang Jiefang couldn't help asking: "Red Star, then according to you, what should I do with this factory?" ”
Ding Hongxing said: "I think we should change production or increase the category of products. ”
Wang Jiefang said: "Changing production? What to turn around? ”
Ding Hongxing said: "Electrical appliances! ”
"Appliances?" Wang Jiefang said.
Ding Hongxing nodded and said: "Yes, the market for electrical appliances is getting bigger and bigger, and now the people have more and more money in their hands, so they want to improve the quality of life, and if they want to improve the quality of life, they must first buy all kinds of household appliances, it can be said that in the next few years, the market for household appliances will usher in explosive growth, the manufacturing market of electrical appliances does not have to worry, the profits are also considerable, the cycle of production and sales is short, and it is very suitable for the original capital accumulation." ”
Wang Jiefang said: "You are very reasonable, but I am not familiar with the electrical industry!" If you want to switch to electrical appliances, don't you have to invest money? I don't have any accumulation of technology, like those TVs, refrigerators, etc., I don't understand at all, what if I mess it up? ”
I have to say that Wang Jiefang's worries are still very reasonable, and the problems he said are also more realistic problems, and now the most surgent household appliances are no more than televisions and refrigerators, both of which need to be on the production line, a production line often costs millions of yuan, and the technical requirements are also very high.
Ding Hongxing shook his head and smiled: "We don't make TVs, nor do we make refrigerators. ”
Wang Jiefang asked, "What then?" ”
Ding Hongxing said: "Make an electric fan first, and then make a rice cooker." ”
"Electric fan? Rice cooker? Wang Jiefang pondered.
Looking at Wang Jiefang's thoughtful appearance, Ding Hongxing asked, "Uncle Wang, if you are given an electric fan, can you imitate it?" ”
Wang Jiefang nodded and said: "Yes, we made this thing more than ten years ago, my first electric fan was made by myself, but it was too bulky, the base or something was poured with cast iron, a fan is dozens of catties, and the noise is also loud, and the fan is like a tractor at night, so noisy that people can't sleep, so it has been used for more than ten years, and it was eliminated the year before last." ”
Ding Hongxing said: "What kind of fan is used at home now?" ”
Wang Jiefang said: "Hongyun fan, this kind of fan is small and light, and there is no noise, so you can sleep comfortably at night." ”
Ding Hongxing asked again: "Then have you made this kind of fan?" ”
Wang Jiefang said: "There must be no problem in technology, we can do the mold ourselves, and the operating principle is simple." ”
Ding Hongxing said: "In that case, how about we do this?" ”
Wang Jiefang hesitated: "Is it really feasible to make an electric fan?" ”
Ding Hongxing said: "Of course it works, there are more than 100 better electric fans on the market now, and the general ones are at least sixty or seventy yuan, even if an electric fan only earns ten or twenty yuan, and produces 10,000 units a year, the profit is much higher than now!" ”
Wang Jiefang nodded when he heard this, the truth seems to be true, the market of electric fans on the market is indeed similar to what Ding Hongxing said, and the production capacity of China's household appliance manufacturing industry in this era is not as saturated as it was later, household appliances are still in demand, as long as they can be made, there is no problem with the quality, they can be sold, not to mention the Hongyun fan, it is the ordinary kind of metal electric fan, which is also easier to sell.
The production of electric fans, in terms of technology, is not difficult for Wang Jiefang, now the best selling electric fans on the market, most of them are made by those township enterprises in coastal cities, and their environment is not much better than Wang Jiefang's factory.
The reason why Wang Jiefang didn't think of this before, of course, was limited by his background, he used to be just an ordinary worker in the Red Star Machinery Factory, with good skills, and he was able to resolutely resign and run his own agricultural machinery factory, which was already courageous and knowledgeable, and coming out to set up a factory also allowed him to live a much better life than he used to be a worker, but this was already the limit for him, if it wasn't for Ding Hongxing's words to remind him today, it would be difficult for him to think of changing careers, at most he just thought about how to expand the production scale of the factory, How to reduce expenses, reduce costs, how to go out and find a market.
