Chapter 5: Maple in the South (5)

"Ahh The bearded guy walked into the design room from the exhibition hall, and Tang Long silently followed.

When everyone saw it, they retreated to their seats, and Li Yuxin was the only one left on the stage.

The bearded guy and Tang Long walked in front of Li Yuxin and motioned for Li Yuxin to continue his conversation.

Li Yuxin had already finished speaking, and then asked him to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He touched his head, smiled shallowly, and said to everyone: "Since the theme of Chinese style has been decided, then we will first collect materials according to this topic, and then develop and design according to everyone's ideas." With that, he left time for the bearded guy.

"Everyone said very well, just now I have been listening to it outside the door for a long time, the ancient rhyme Tang style this series is very good, fine workmanship, beautiful design, color matching is also very good, I am very satisfied, congratulations on the success of your research and development of this series." The bearded guy took the lead in congratulating everyone.

"However, the real test of your success is not my standard." The bearded man paused.

The smiles that had just bloomed on the girls' faces came to their heads, and their eyes were full of confused looks. How can you say that the standard of success is not in him? Is there a stricter standard for inspection?

Just when the girls were surprised, the bearded guy smiled: "The real test is the sales center, which is the sales volume of each product." Within three months, the resumption of orders and production of 30,000 boxes is considered a marketable product. ”

Guan Xiaoxiao raised her hand and asked, "What if you don't reach it?" ”

"That's a failure in R&D." The bearded guy said politely.

"What if orders skyrocket after three months?" Guan Xiaoxiao asked.

"Not usually that." The bearded guy has never encountered it, and if no one wants this product when it is forced, it is estimated that there will be no action in the follow-up period.

"What if there is?" Guan Xiaoxiao asked more seriously.

"That's the exception." The bearded guy was a little hot when she asked.

"As a research and development, it is inevitable to have a sense of advancement, if the follow-up marketing is weak, or the advertising investment is not timely, the product may also be unsalable, but once the market opens the popular elements, it is also possible to activate these advanced products, so should it be considered a success or a failure?" Guan Xiaoxiao used her experience in making artworks to illustrate the infinite possibilities of ceramic products.

Li Yuxin also felt that what Guan Xiaoxiao said was reasonable, and he smiled at her with an approving gaze.

As the boss of the company, it was the first time for the bearded guy to hear such words, he couldn't help frowning, and after thinking about it again and again, he still said the sentence that everyone didn't like to hear: "It's still a failure of research and development." ”

"Why?" Guan Xiaoxiao asked puzzled.

"If you don't accurately grasp the direction of the market, do you say it is a failure or a success? A good design group must not only have a broad vision, but also have a grasp of market trends, and of course, be able to cooperate with the international fashion vane, which is the focus. Only by mastering these points will you be an excellent designer. "The bearded guy explains what makes a good designer with his personal understanding.

Tang Long did not object, he felt that the bearded guy was not wrong according to the laws of the market. But Li Yuxin was a little unhappy, obviously saying that he had succeeded, how could he have only succeeded in a small step? Not only Li Yuxin was uncomfortable, but everyone else was silent.

The bearded guy's move of first raising and then suppressing can be regarded as a vivid education lesson for the team, which also taught Li Yuxin not to be complacent and made him understand that time is the only truth to test success.

The bearded man came out of the design room, Tang Long also followed, and the bearded man asked in a low voice, "Do you think what I just said is right?" ”

"Yes. It's just," Tang Long paused and looked at the bearded man.

"Say, what's it?" The bearded man looked at him with interest.

"It's just a little unfair to them." Tang Long no longer hides.

"What do you think is fair?" The bearded guy asked.

"The trend of the market should still be a strange thing to them, not to mention the popular color, how can they have the opportunity to contact the market when they stay in the factory every day? Isn't it a chatter to figure out the international trending colors? Tang Long held his breath, and with Yu Xiaoyi's matter, he could be regarded as letting go, and it was a big deal to leave.

"I understand what you said, it's very simple to look at the market, didn't I give him a car? Depending on the market, you can go around at any time. As for this trend, I'm going to let them go for a walk around Italy. The bearded man whispered to him in a low voice.

"Is this true?" Tang Long couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the bearded man, in his impression the bearded man was a shrewd businessman, and the businessman was to maximize profits, there was no investment for no reason, and there was no free dinner. Therefore, the bearded guy's wandering is also to make the product more international, which is also called human investment. As the saying goes, human nature invests, rational financial management, it seems that the bearded guy is deeply harmonious.

The bearded guy narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and said, "Of course it's true, but it depends on whether their results this time are enough to go to Italy." ”

"Oh." It turns out that I still have to take an exam. Tang Long was happy for Li Yuxin and them.

"Okay, I'm going to arrange for a few managers from the sales department to come over and have a look, so that they can also see the cutting-edge power of our R&D center." The bearded man walked upstairs with a smile in the spring breeze.

Tang Long smiled bitterly, turned around and walked towards the workshop. When he was passing through the craft department, Ah Yu stopped him.

"What's the matter?" Tang Long stopped and asked.

"Has the new product boss of the R&D center seen it?" Ah Yu asked seemingly casually, but he was actually very concerned.

"I saw it, but the boss didn't say anything, but I can't decide until someone from the sales department comes." Tang Long revealed the meaning of the boss just now to him.

"Oh, it looks like there are still some market risks in these new versions." With his knowledge of bearded guys, Ah Yu came to this conclusion.

"Maybe." Tang Long didn't want to talk about it because he knew better what the boss was thinking.

"By the way, Yu Xiaotong seems to have gotten a little closer to Li Yuxin recently." Ah Yu suddenly talked about this, and Tang Long felt uncomfortable when he heard it, so he said angrily: "Don't always gossip about others." ”

Tang Long left angrily after saying the next word.

Ah Yu stood in place, and finally understood what Director Zhang said to him, it seems that this Tang Long is also a lover. Ah Yu looked at his distant back, and his heart was full of flavors, what is the feeling? What is love?
