Chapter 518 . report
Out of the hotel, Ding Shishi couldn't help but say, "Wen Bin, wouldn't it be good if you pushed Smith so hard?" ”
"What's bad, it's going to offend him anyway." Huang Wenbin said.
"He's the CEO of Smith Toys, and we're going to take orders from Smith Toys, how can we offend him." Ding Shishi said, "The CEO is greater than the general manager's full strength, which is basically equivalent to the combination of the general manager and the chairman." If you offend him, even if you get the order, it's useless, there are too many places where people can make trouble. ”
"Don't you have the contact information of the chairman of the Smith Consortium?" Huang Wenbin said.
"Yes, yes, but what's the use." Ding Shishi said, "He will not directly manage the toy business. ”
"But he's in charge." Huang Wenbin said, "His subordinates betrayed the company's secrets, so they should take care of it." ”
"Huh? Want to report Smith? Ding Shishi asked, "It's so easy for us to pinch Smith's sore foot, why don't we take advantage of this?" It's useless to report him for us to get orders. ”
"Smith is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, we caught his weakness, and he agreed to anything. When you turn around and deal with the weakness, you will immediately turn your face and deny people. Anyway, it will cause us trouble, so it is better to take this opportunity to depose him first and leave a good impression on the upper echelons of the Smith consortium. Later, when the newcomer takes over, seeing that Smith is a role model, he doesn't dare to make trouble for us. ”
"I see." Ding Shishi said.
"And if you take this smith, you can sell someone a favor." Huang Wenbin said.
The chairman of the Smith consortium is called Anthony, an elderly white man in his sixties, with white blonde hair, I don't know if he has turned white with age, or if he is white, with a high nose and a very strict face, and is talking to Ding Shishi in the computer screen.
"Smith did such a thing!" Anthony said, "I didn't expect to trust him so much!" Of course, it was not Anthony himself who spoke, but his translator, Anthony himself spoke so much, almost dying, Huang Wenbin's English also passed level 6, and he often watched American TV series on the Internet, and felt that his English was not bad, but Anthony really couldn't understand what he said.
"Mr. Anthony, we want to compete for orders for clown dolls, but we will never do this kind of thing that violates business ethics." Ding Shiyi said sternly, "With this scoring standard, our company can be said to be invincible in the competition." But what's the point of getting an order like this? ”
"Senior sister." Anthony smiled, "Actually, you're worried that Smith will also sell the rating to others." Smith, like me, is a Japanese fan, and if Japan can do it, I will never leave it to you. Just look at this scoring criterion to know that the process accounts for so much and the price is so low. If you can get it, of course the factory in Japan can get it. ”
This wronged Smith, Huang Wenbin was able to get the scoring criteria, and they only got it by seizing Smith's weakness and smashing the blackmail, but it was not what Anthony thought. Ding Shishi couldn't argue, so she had to say, "Then what is your opinion?" Do you also tend to give it to Japanese factories? ”
"Of course not, Japanese toys, who can afford the price." "Even Smith wouldn't think that way." I am a capitalist, and I will produce wherever the factory can make me. If everyone can make money, it depends on who makes more. ”
"Of course, we make a lot of money from OEM, and our price, whether it is South Korea, Japan or Taiwan, is definitely not comparable." Ding Shishi said, "In terms of quality, we also have a guarantee, you get what you pay for, as long as you give the corresponding price, we will definitely be able to give you the corresponding quality." ”
"We must strike a balance between price and quality, no matter how low the price is, if the quality does not meet the requirements, then what's the use, ruining the brand in vain. Building a brand is not an easy task, especially in the children's space. Anthony said, "Smith sold company secrets, and I'll fire him." And adjust the scoring criteria to ensure that no one can profit from it. As for you, you can participate in the bidding as usual and produce samples and send them over. There will be no preferential treatment on the grading criteria. After all, it's the flagship of Smith Toys, and this must not fail. ”
I failed in my last life, and it doesn't seem to be good. Huang Wenbin said: "We will definitely be able to make cheap and high-quality products. ”
"I hope so, and I'm looking forward to working with you." Anthony said, "I won't give you preferential treatment in terms of ratings, but I can try to repay you in other aspects." Do you have any requirements? As long as it's not too much, I can say yes. For example, the transfer of technology or something. ”
"It would be great if that was the case." Huang Wenbin said.
"Do you need any technology? It's not that I'm boasting, there aren't many in the world that can compare to us in toy production technology. For example, the silent motor, other manufacturers also have products called silent motors, but only we can be truly silent. Anthony said.
"We already have this patent, and we sold it to me together with Dongyang Toy Factory." Huang Wenbin reminded him.
"Dongyang Toy Factory is the old version, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound. Our new technology, which we have now, is completely silent, and you can't hear it. "And it's sturdy, it's of the highest quality, and it can be guaranteed to last five years." ”
The problem is that the structure is complex and difficult to manufacture, expensive and has little practical value, and the Smith consortium spent a lot of money to develop this new type of silent motor, but it turned out that it was completely a dragon slaying technique, and no one wanted it anywhere, so I didn't forget to sell it at this time. In fact, the old version of the technology obtained by Dongyang Toy Factory is completely sufficient. "We don't need such high-end technology for the time being." Huang Wenbin said.
"You have to think about it, this kind of high-end technology, we will never transfer it in normal times." Anthony said.
"Not really." Huang Wenbin said, not to mention this silent motor that no one wants at all, it is other stunts that really won't be passed on, and Huang Wenbin won't want it now. As soon as the economic crisis came in a few months, the Smith consortium suffered a lot of losses, and all kinds of things at the bottom of the box had to be taken out and sold.
The U.S. real estate boom has been around for almost a decade, and subprime loans are a hot investment, and the Smith consortium is no exception, buying a lot of subprime bonds. They can hold on now, and they won't be able to hold on in a few months.
"Don't you really want to?" Anthony regretted, "We have other patents, such as professional waterproof flannel. ”
That's also a useless technology, this flannel is waterproof, but other properties are very poor, rough and difficult to dye and easy to crack. "We don't need that." Huang Wenbin said, "I'm more interested in your old machine. ”
"Old machine qì?" Anthony was stunned.
"A while ago, you also shut down the last factory in the United States, and there should be a lot of old machines left that haven't been disposed of." Huang Wenbin said, "Although those machines are old, they can be used for a few years after repairing, and it just so happens that I need to expand production capacity, so sell them to me cheaply." ”
"Those old machines are useless, the technology is outdated, and I'm about to dispose of them to the recycling station." There is also a lot of shipping to Huaxia, so you might as well buy a new one. Anthony said, "Although the new machine is more expensive, it is durable and has low operating costs. ”
"I just like those old machines, they're cheap." Huang Wenbin said, "The new machine is too expensive. "The new machine is really good, and if the order is enough, the operating cost is lower than that of the old machine. The problem is that the next few years will be a cold winter of foreign trade, and the orders are simply not enough, and if you can't run at full capacity, the new machine will not be able to compare with it, not to mention the old machine or the price of scrap.
"Alright then, I'll give you the cheapest price." Anthony said, anyway, he doesn't plan to ask for those old machines, and he can earn a little bit, "Mr. Huang, our bid this time is scheduled for March 1, although there is a leak, it will not be postponed, I hope you can produce samples on time." ”
"I'll hurry." Huang Wenbin said, "We will definitely be able to catch up." ”
turned off the video, Ding Shishi sighed, "Hey, I didn't get any benefits, it's hard for you to investigate so many things." ”
"Didn't get any good? I've got a lot of benefits. Huang Wenbin said, "Just those old machines are a great benefit." "These machines are in good condition, they can be used for at least ten years, and the price is so cheap, it's a lot of money.
In the next few years, the economic crisis, foreign trade will be a mess, and everyone is shrinking production capacity, but shrinkage is contraction, and the machine will still be bad after a long time. When the time comes, it will cost a lot of money to update. Huang Wenbin has such a large number of cheap machines as a backup, and the operating cost is much less than others, and when the time comes, he can use the low price that others can't do to grab orders.
In addition to the Smith Consortium, if you can buy cheap machines somewhere else, you can also buy them all while the price is low. Now the old machine can only be used as a scrap, in the future, everyone will have no money to buy a new machine, the old machine can be valuable, whether it is for their own use or resale, you can make a profit.
"What are we going to do next?" Ding Shishi asked.
"Of course, it's to renovate the factory, contact technicians, and prepare to produce samples of clown dolls." Huang Wenbin said.
"This time, we will compete with factories in Taiwan and South Korea." Ding Shishi said, "I don't know if I can get the order." ”
"Absolutely." Huang Wenbin was confident, "We will definitely win, we have a secret weapon." ”
