"I discussed it with my dad, and he thought it was much better than what I had done with an exhaust fan before." Lin Guangrong had a smile on his face, "He is still quite positive, he has helped me inspect several factories, and I think two of them are quite suitable, master, can you take a look?" ”

Lin Guangrong took a piece of paper and wrote the current situation of the two factories.

Guo Xiang took it and looked at it.

One is a collective agricultural machinery factory, and now there are about 100 people. Because there are many large state-owned machinery factories here, the farm tools produced by the small agricultural machinery factories are not selling well, and they are also collective enterprises without state support, so they gradually collapse.

There is also a manufacturer of old-fashioned irons, with only about 30 people, because the products are outdated, there is no market, and they are also on the verge of bankruptcy.

Guo Xiang thinks that it is more suitable to make an iron factory, after all, it is also a small household appliance, and if you make money in the future, you can also make irons, steam irons, and those garment steamers used in later generations.

Although there are many large electrical appliance factories, such as televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., there are relatively few small home factories, after all, these are not necessities of life.

Although major appliances are not, they are related to the status of a family in society, and if there are large appliances, it is very face-saving, so although major appliances are also expensive, there are still people who buy them.

However, with the improvement of people's living standards in the future, small household appliances will also appear in every family, and the market is huge.

"I think this ironing shop will do." Guo Xiang pointed to the information on the paper and said: "The small factory is also in line with the scale we have at the beginning of the period, and the pressure on contracting is also small. ”

"But the resources available for this plant are limited." Lin Guangrong frowned.

"That's no problem, some things don't necessarily have to be made by our factory. For example, the shell of this induction cooker, we can find other factories to order, and we can master the core technology and core materials ourselves. Guo Xiang said.

"That's just as well." Lin Guangrong nodded, just like their current pumping unit, some parts are not produced by petroleum machinery factories, but some small factories do.

"The main thing is that the working principle of the induction cooker has been figured out? Can raw materials be bought? Guo Xiang said.

"Don't worry, I also went to Taiqing University to find my uncle for this, he is a teacher there, he teaches materials engineering, and he is very interested in this. When I saw our design, I was told that it was good, and it gave me a lot of advice. Lin Guangrong said.

"Well, I'll leave the technical side of things to you. I'll be in charge of the investment, and the marketing work in the future. Guo Xiang said.

With his previous experience in the marketing of sanitary napkins, Guo Xiang felt that it could also be promoted in the form of advertising.

There are also many promotional activities in shopping malls in later generations, lotteries, etc., which can be used.

"By the way, have you noticed that our induction cooker is flat, so the pot should use a special pan." Guo Xiang said again.

"I really didn't pay attention if you didn't say it." Lin Guangrong nodded, "Then what should I do, there doesn't seem to be a frying pan on the market." ”

"So we can sell pots again!" Guo Xiang smiled, "Find a kitchenware factory to order a pan, and sell it in major shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives in the future, and the pan can not only be used in induction cookers, but also coal stoves and charcoal stoves that we usually use, and the market is very large." ”

"Yes, indeed, that's a great idea." Lin Guangrong's eyes were shining, and he was still smart.

"At the beginning of the period, for the sake of publicity, we can send the pot, just send the kind of cheap thin iron pot, plated with a layer of stainless steel, the kind of pot is low cost, but it heats up quickly, and it is very suitable for making hot pot." Guo Xiang said.

"Yes, you can also make hot pot!" Lin Guangrong's eyes lit up, "The current hot pot is all charcoal-burning, not to mention the trouble, there is smoke if it is not burned well, this induction cooker is too convenient to make hot pot." ”

"So, do you think there will be a market?" Guo Xiang laughed.

Lin Guangrong was suddenly full of confidence, "There will definitely be!" ”

"Then let's estimate how much money to invest, as well as the cost and selling price of the induction cooker, it can't be too high, and no one will buy it if it's too high." Guo Xiang said.

"I've really done some research on this." Lin Guangrong took out another piece of paper, "Master, you see, the prices of some electrical appliances commonly used in families now. ”

"Permanent brand bicycle, 28 bars, 235 pieces. Universal brand radio, 90 pieces. 199 single-cylinder washing machines, 385 double-cylinder ......"

"I'll see." Guo Xiang was a little surprised, the washing machine is so expensive? The automatic washing machines of later generations were only a few hundred yuan.

However, it is also the current period of low production and high cost. Unlike later generations, there are many manufacturers, advanced technology, and common materials, so the cost is naturally low.

"This is still cheap, 470 imported Toshiba semi-automatic twin cylinders, and 428 Weili brand in Guangdong Province. Look at TV again, imported color TVs are 1070 pieces of 14 inches, 18 inches are 1480, and 20 inches are 1650. Domestic 18-inch 1330, 20-inch 1500. Lin Guangrong continued.

"So expensive?" Guo Xiang was surprised, now the salary of ordinary workers is only thirty or forty yuan a month, these are so expensive, it takes a few years of wages to afford them, but it seems that there are still many families who buy them, right?

It seems that there are still people who are willing to spend money.

"There is more expensive, a Qindao Liebherr refrigerator, 3780 yuan, you can build a two-story small bungalow." Lin Guangrong sighed, "But this should be affordable for 10,000 households." ”

"In addition, there are more than 200 mono recorders, more than 400 bichannel ones, and 155 ...... vertical electric fans, which are not necessities of life, so expensive, but many people still buy them." Lin Guangrong was very excited, "So I think we can definitely do this." ”

Guo Xiang nodded, a little impressed by Lin Guangrong, I didn't expect that the little fat man had a good business mind, and the market research was so good!

It seems that there is nothing wrong with asking him to be a partner.

"It's really good, Xiaolin is a businessman." Guo Xiang sighed, "Then I'll design the appearance of the induction cooker again and look good." ”

"Eat first." Gu Zhennan knocked on the table, "The dishes are cold." ”

Guo Xiang and Lin Guangrong smiled embarrassedly, the two of them were so excited that they forgot to eat.

After eating, Gu Zhennan put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Guo Xiang and Lin Guangrong talked with great interest again.

"Why don't you go to the ironing factory in the afternoon?" Lin Guangrong said.

"Okay." Guo Xiang nodded, "Your leave without pay has been done?" ”

"It's all over to my dad, and he'll do it for me." Lin Guangrong said, "My dad said that it's okay for me to go outside when I'm young, anyway, it's just a suspension of pay and a social security stay, and the unit pays social security, don't worry about this, if you don't do it well, it's a big deal to go back." ”

Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows, it seems that the little fat man's family still has some way, otherwise it would be so easy for those who came out to go back.

Gu Zhennan couldn't go with Guo Xiang and the others when he wanted to go to work, so he told Lin Guangrong, "Go out and take care of your wife, don't let her fall and freeze." ”

"Don't worry, Master!" Lin Guangrong said loudly.
