417 Find a market

After chatting about Sun Xiangyun's scandal, everyone returned to the topic. Lang Dong said to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiaolin, the situation is more severe now, if the sales of light industrial products are frustrated, it will inevitably affect the strategy of our entire group." In recent years, the group has been using the profits of light industrial products to subsidize the research of chemical equipment and machine tools. If the profits on this side are reduced, or even if there is a loss, then your research work on the other side will have to stop. ”

Lang Dong's words are not sensational, in these departments of Hanhua Heavy Industry, the home furnishing company is undoubtedly the most profitable, five-blade fans, waterfall washing machines, sports bicycles, are important commodities for export, and can earn back more than 200 million profits a year. Most of this money is used for the infrastructure of chemical equipment companies and machine tool companies, including the purchase of equipment, the construction of new plants, and the development of technology like a bottomless pit.

Thanks to these continuous funds, Hanhua Heavy Industries has accumulated equipment strength and technical reserves that are the envy of its peers in just a few years. This time, Hanhua Heavy Industry was able to become the leading unit of large ethylene research, also because of the full accumulation of technology. The payback period for heavy industry is very long, and now it is only possible to rely on light industry to supply heavy industry. Of course, by the time heavy industry begins to reap the rewards, the profits will be far from being comparable to those of fans, washing machines, etc.

Nowadays, the sales of home furnishing companies are facing difficulties, how can Lang Dong not be in a hurry.

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said, "I already know this situation." At present, the domestic household appliance enterprises are not having a good time, not only the export of household appliances has been hit, but the domestic market is also sluggish. Yesterday, I called An Yan in Nanjing and Xiong Lijun in Shanghai to find out about the situation in their two home appliance hypermarkets. They reported that the sales volume of household appliances in the entire market had dropped by almost 30% compared with the previous year, and many household appliance companies that supplied them were a little unable to support it. ”

Xiang Zhe sighed: "Didn't the newspaper say that this is called a weak market, and the central government is also trying to find a way." ”

The weakness of the national market in 1990 was not only the after-effect of the previous year's turmoil, but also the evil result of the overheating economy in the previous years. In the two years of 87 and 88, due to the rising market demand, home appliance enterprises around the country have expanded their production scale. Who knows, in the past two years, the economic wind has suddenly reversed, and the market demand has dropped to the freezing point all of a sudden, which has trapped many enterprises.

Lang Dong said: "Xiaolin, don't stay at home all day, you have a smart brain, there are many ways, let's go out for a run, find a relationship, and find a way to open up the sales of our products." ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "I can wear a guilty body now and run out to engage in tandem, isn't it a crime on a crime?" What would they say if it spread to the province? ”

"I think it's okay." Xiang Zhe said, "I think the province means that it is just to avoid suspicion, and they don't restrict your personal freedom." You went out for a run, what's in the way of the province?

Dai Yubin said: "I'm strange, since the province said that it would review Manager Lin, it should send someone to stay here to investigate, how could it remove all the people?" Now like this, what does it look like censorship? It's like I don't care about it at all. ”

Zhu Tiejun said: "I have encountered this situation in the past. There was pressure from above, and the cadres below had to be dealt with. But the top also knows that there is nothing wrong with the cadres below, so they can't deal with it very seriously. I had no choice but to drag it out like this, and there have been things that have dragged on for several years. ”

"Doesn't that mean that Manager Lin is going to be in this state for a long time?" Dai Yubin said, "Then when will it end?" ”

Zhu Tiejun said: "This matter depends on Xiaolin. If Kobayashi wants to resume work, he can wait for the limelight to pass and make a report to the province and ask the province to re-examine it. When the time comes, the province will give a new conclusion, and the Kobayashi official can be reinstated. However, I don't think Kobayashi means that he is in a hurry, which I don't understand. ”

Regarding the issue of Lin Zhenhua's comeback, the group leaders have discussed it many times. Everyone's thoughts are that the province is roughly going through the motions, and now that things have passed for a few months, if Lin Zhenhua makes a report to the province, and the group does some work through the Economic Commission, the Light Chemical Department and other units, it is estimated that it is possible to lift the suspension decision of Lin Zhenhua. However, no matter how well everyone thinks about it, Lin Zhenhua, the party concerned, is not careful, and it is in vain. ,

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's not that I'm not in a hurry, but the time has not come." The current policy is still relatively tight, and if I ask the province to re-examine my problem at this time, I guess in the end the province will give a qualified conclusion. At that time, although I will be able to reinstate the official, the province will definitely keep an eye on our Hanhua, so as not to cause any sensitive things to happen. In this way, our Hanhua has an extra tightening spell on his head, and if he crosses the line a little, the province will interfere.

On the contrary, if I am not in office, the province will not pay special attention to us, and you should be bold in your work, as long as it does not involve me, the province will not interfere, isn't it better? ”

Dai Yubin thought about it and felt that Lin Zhenhua's analysis did make some sense, but he still asked unwillingly: "So, Manager Lin, doesn't this mean that you have to hang like this all the time?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Lao Dai, don't worry, the country's policy will not always be like this." At present, this kind of policy has affected the vitality of the economy, and I believe that the central authorities will change this situation sooner or later. I thought about it, if I don't come back, it's enough, once I want to make a comeback, I will completely remove the tight spell on our Hanhua's head. ”

"I agree with Zhenhua's idea. However, it's okay if you're not a general manager, but it's okay if you don't work. Xiang Zhe said half-jokingly, "In this way, on behalf of the group headquarters, I will appoint you as the salesman of the group, responsible for contacting the business." ”

"Okay, I accept Mr. Xiang's appointment, and I will go to Nanjing in the next two days." Lin Zhenhua replied briskly.

As Xiang Zhe said, although the province made a decision to suspend Lin Zhenhua for review, it did not restrict Lin Zhenhua's personal freedom. The people in the investigation team also knew in their hearts that Lin Zhenhua did not have any serious problems, and there would be no such thing as absconding in fear of crime.

Xiang Zhe made a verbal request to the investigation team by phone, explaining that the group planned to send Lin Zhenhua out to find a way to sell the products. Wang Huimin, the leader of the investigation team, hummed and said a few nonsense words, and then agreed. Unsalable products are a big problem that plagues many enterprises in the province, and the spirit of the province is also to support the eight immortals of various enterprises to cross the sea to solve the sales problem.

Lin Zhenhua handed over his daughter to his father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of, packed his luggage, left Xunyang, and went to Nanjing. It's the first time in six or seven years that he's been at home for so long, and now he's a little tired of it, and he needs to go out and get some air.

Lin Zhenhua's purpose in Nanjing was naturally to meet An Yan and Xiong Lijun. He thought that to open up the sales of household appliances, it was inseparable from the help of An Yan and Xiong Lijun.

After several years of development, Jiankang Household Appliances founded by An Yan has received financial support from Qi Yue from Myanmar, and has now become one of the top home appliance chain stores in China. The only one that can compete with Jiankang Household Appliances is Daxiong Household Appliances founded by Xiong Lijun in Shanghai, and the other major shareholder of Daxiong Household Appliances is Qi Zhongmou of Chongqing, who is also a very powerful figure.

Jiankang Household Appliances and Daxiong Household Appliances have opened chain stores in nearly 100 large and medium-sized cities in China, and their annual sales have reached tens of billions. Domestic home appliance manufacturers,Almost all of them are in the pocket of these two stores,Whose products can't appear in these two stores,Then don't claim to be a domestic boutique。

Lin Zhenhua went to Nanjing by boat, and An Yan heard that Lin Zhenhua was coming, so he drove Xiao Lanxiang to the dock to greet him. Lan Xiang is 7 years old this year, and when he saw Lin Zhenhua's face, he pulled the corner of his clothes and asked, "Uncle Lin, why didn't you bring your little sister." ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "My little sister is too young to take a boat." Wait a few days, let your mother take you to Xunyang to play with your little sister. ”

Lan Xiang said with a sad face: "No, I still have to go to school." ”

"Then let's wait until winter break." Lin Zhenhua said.

An Yan stepped forward, shouted "Brother Lin", and then took the bag in Lin Zhenhua's hand and put it in the back box of the car. Lin Zhenhua got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, holding Lan Xiang in his arms. An Yan sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and then asked, "Brother Lin, should we go home first or go to the mall first?" My mom is already waiting for you at home. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Let's go to the mall first, I haven't been here for a long time, and I want to see what scale your industry has developed." By the way, when I was in Beijing, I also saw your chain store, the faΓ§ade is big enough. ”

An Yan drove out of the parking lot and drove in the direction of Jiankang Home Appliance Mall, and smiled at Lin Zhenhua as he drove: "Brother Lin, what you saw in Beijing should be our first store." Last month we opened two more stores in Beijing, and now we have three stores in total. However, our speed is still too slow, Daxiong has already opened five stores, and it seems that Brother Xiong is planning to spend it with us in Beijing. ”

Lan Wufeng and Xiong Lijun first helped Lin Zhenhua open a Xinxin store in Fenghua, at that time, An Yan was in love with Lan Wufeng, and Xiong Lijun often met, and their relationship with each other was very good, so when An Yan mentioned Xiong Lijun, he was still used to calling him Brother Xiong.

"That's a good thing." Lin Zhenhua said, "The competition between the two of you has controlled half of China's home appliance market. Isn't this the pattern we discussed in the past, the two compete on the surface, but behind them is a strategic alliance, advancing and retreating together, and the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

An Yan smiled slightly and said, "I hope so." ”

Lin Zhenhua seemed to have some helplessness in An Yan's tone, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Yanzi, is there a conflict between Lao Xiong and you?" ”
