Chapter 31 Technology VS Capital, Touch-and-Go!
"Welcome to Kunlun Laboratory." Gao Yuan greeted Bai Hongyuan and the others with a smile and said, "I have heard Xu Qingzhou say a few great names a long time ago, and it is really an honor to meet here now." ”
Xiaohui, who is a little older, said: "Boss Gao, don't be polite, we and Xu Qingzhou have been colleagues and friends for many years, and your company's X series fiber was born, which has greatly boosted the morale of those of us who do basic materials, and we should help." ”
Tan Qinggu said: "Who doesn't know the name of Boss Gao now, being able to come here and see the birth of X fiber with our own eyes is also a kind of learning for us, and it will also witness history." ”
The arrival of these senior talents made the Kunlun laboratory a lot more lively.
After a period of greetings, Gao resigned and went to Cao Feiyu to implement the treatment of these foreign aids.
Although they came to help temporarily, they must not treat others badly, and all aspects of clothing, food, housing, transportation and bonuses must be properly arranged.
In addition, it has been a whole week since X2 fiber was listed, and Gao Yuan has to check the company's financial situation.
In addition to the laboratory, Cao Feiyu also asked people to buy beds and furniture, set up a canteen and a pantry for everyone to eat and rest, and bought a Buick GL8 and a Toyota Coaster for researchers to travel to and from the city center.
However, as time went on, the disadvantages of the industrial zone gradually became apparent.
It is really inconvenient to put a research team in such a remote place, and Kunlun Company is not attractive to high-level researchers.
Although during this period of time, Cao Feiyu has built the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Administration Department in accordance with the requirements of the plateau, but it is not easy to find truly high-level talents.
"Now that I think about it, you were right." Cao Feiyu smiled helplessly, "Big cities provide not only convenience and prosperity, but also have a talent siphon effect, it is too difficult to recruit people in small and medium-sized cities, not to mention that we are still in the suburbs where birds don't, and there is not even a movie theater around." ”
"As for Xu Qingzhou's group of people, they are assigned by the national team to work in our local area, and maybe in a few years, they will be transferred to other scientific research institutes, so they can't be regarded as local talents."
"Let's work hard to make money, let's go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to buy a house and build a group headquarters or something."
Gao Yuan frowned and smashed his mouth twice, "It's still reliable to rent an office building, don't look at our current benefits, but I don't dare to think about buying a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. ”
"By the way, the X2 fiber has started to be released, how was the financial situation last week?"
Cao Feiyu took out the sorted report and put it on the table, "Last week's shipments were 1,200 tons, of which the sales volume of X1 type fiber fell to 350 tons due to the season, and the remaining 850 tons were X2 type, with an average gross profit of about 23,000 yuan per ton." ”
Gao Yuan looked at last week's earnings report and fell silent.
It is clearly written on the report that the total output of the foundry last week was also 1,200 tons, and after all the sales were sold out, the inventory was zero, which is a typical shortage of supply.
However, this is only the first week of the official shipment of X2 fiber, and it is believed that with the increase in the run-in degree of the foundry, the production capacity will gradually rise, but with the scale of the super factory, I am afraid that the maximum is only 2,000 tons per week.
"You go on, I made an appointment with Li Guangda from Nanhua to talk about OEM." Gao Yuan said to Cao Feiyu.
He was about to leave, but was stopped by Cao Feiyu, "Nanhua is a state-owned factory, if it can be negotiated, the production capacity will increase dramatically, should we make a price reduction plan first?" ”
Gao Yuan blinked his eyes and said meaningfully: "Good things are never cheap, I thought about it all night last night and decided that it still can't be reduced." ”
Cao Feiyu was slightly stunned, "But the Japanese goods have dropped to less than 7,000 yuan per ton!" The price of our X1 and X2 fiber yarn is as high as 30,000 yuan, and the X2 fiber velvet has reached 60,000 yuan per ton! ”
Cao Feiyu's concerns are understandable, such a huge price gap is enough to make a considerable number of customers fall into the camp of competitors.
In fact, it is true that when Japanese goods were the first to be dumped at a large price reduction, the reminder calls that had not stopped from morning to night suddenly became much less.
For no other reason, since customers have already obtained cheap Japanese goods, the demand for X2 fiber velvet has naturally become less urgent.
"Now most of our customers say they will use Japanese products as the main sales force, and then use our X2 type fiber to create a more expensive series, you should know what the premium series means."
Cao Feiyu said very seriously: "High-end means low sales, and European, American, Japanese and South Korean manufacturers have sacrificed profits, but they have retained their market share, this winter, they will keep their share, not to be defeated, next winter, when they accumulate enough strength, they can launch a Jedi counterattack against us!" ”
"In the face of those giants who have ruled the chemical fiber industry for hundreds of years, we must not take it lightly! Cutting grass and removing the roots, that's what you said. ”
Gao Yuan bowed slightly and said: "Of course I know what you said, but I know even more that in this world, price is not everything, otherwise Xiaomi would have killed Apple a long time ago, and Lao Luo should have inherited the mantle of Jobs." ”
"Is there such a possibility?"
"Because of our existence, it will be difficult to sell Japanese products even if the cost is reduced?"
"And because our products are high enough technology, even if the profits are huge, they are still overwhelming?"
"If you do a careful calculation, compared with using X-series fibers and using Japanese products, the cost of each piece of clothing is only a few tens of yuan, maybe the bedding will be a little more, but this will not necessarily become an obstacle for consumers to buy."
Hearing this, Cao Feiyu was immediately stunned.
From a rational point of view, of course, the possibility that Gao Yuan talked about exists, but after Cao Feiyu heard the news of the price reduction of Japanese goods, he instinctively thought of following the price reduction strategy.
"Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind presses the east wind."
"Technology and capital, who is the most powerful force in the world? I would also like to know the answer to this question. ”
"By the way, help me get in touch, I want to invite customers who are still willing to work with us in depth."
Gao Yuan muttered, he threw down these few words and walked straight out of the financial room.
It is still the Honda Accord that has been driven for more than ten years, and the plateau has been non-stop to go to the largest local Southern Chemical Fiber Group.
Back then, the main reason why Gao Yuan's father cooperated more with Chaoda Chemical Fiber and less with Southern Chemical Fiber was that state-owned enterprises were more cumbersome and not as flexible as private enterprises.
But in terms of scale, Nanhua is at least equivalent to three Chaoda, and the equipment is also brand new.
However, Gao Yuan didn't know that although he was not a key object of care now, he was also registered within the red brick walls of the imperial capital.
Before Wu Dongming returned to the imperial capital, he asked someone to greet Li Guangda from the south, so Gao Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that he was very smooth in discussing cooperation with a large state-owned factory.
The plateau was busy throughout late September.
On the one hand, he is staring at the production capacity of Nanhua Group, and on the other hand, he is intensively planning with his partners to prepare to launch an autumn and winter offensive.
The price plateau is not ready to be lowered, and its own cost is 6,300 yuan, and the price reduction is equivalent to suicide at a loss, but this tone cannot but be argued.
So, a confrontation of technology VS capital.
Imminent!
