Chapter 331: The Choice of the Bicycle Factory
"Hello, Mr. Shen, I have admired Mr. Shen's name for a long time! I am the representative of Guangzhou Fulaixing Bicycle Company......
"Hello Mr. Shen, I am the ...... of Tianhao Bicycle Factory in Jinjin City"
"Hello Mr. Shen, I am the ...... of Suzhou Jieyida Bicycle Factory"
Representatives sent by the three bicycle manufacturers warmly shook hands with Shen Li. The three of them all knew Shen Li's famous name, but they had never met. When I saw Shen Li today, I realized that he was so young, even younger than the rumors......
After shaking hands with the three representatives, Shen Li politely said to the three of them, "Oh, sit down, I'm looking for you like this, I have a batch of bicycles on hand that need to be produced recently." I need you to tell me about the production time of the bike, and the final quotation. I believe that the drawings of the bicycle, all three of them have received them, right?"
"That's right, Mr. Shen, I received the drawings, no problem! But I take the liberty to ask you, what is the approximate number of these bicycles in your hand? If the number is large, we Fulaixing bicycles will definitely arrange production in advance for you, including the price, and will definitely give you the lowest price!"
"Well, Mr. Shen, you can rest assured that our Tianhao Bicycle Factory is absolutely guaranteed in terms of delivery! Including the price of bicycles, it will definitely be given to you until you are satisfied!"
......
The representatives of the three bicycle factories said to Shen Li attentively. It is nothing more than a delivery guarantee, a price concession, and a quality assured. However, under the premise of giving full play to these advantages, it is necessary to be on the side of Shen Li, and the number must reach the scale.
If it's just a simple 1,000, 2,000 bikes. If the price of a bicycle is 300 yuan, excluding the cost of materials, processing fees and other costs, the profit of this single is between 50,000 yuan and 90,000 yuan. To put it mildly, this is not enough for the bicycle factory to plug the teeth.
"The number of bikes, that's how I think about it. The three manufacturers will first place an order for 1,000 vehicles each, and then I will make a comprehensive judgment based on the manufacturer's delivery date, delivery quality, and the price given. Finally, we will choose which bicycle manufacturer to work with. ”
Manufacturers need to know the order quantity of Shen Li. Before Shen Li reported his astonishing number, he needed to know the strength of each manufacturer, as well as their attitude towards cooperation. After all, as long as the bicycle is shared, once it lands in Guangzhou, Yanjin, Suzhou and other cities. Then the local bicycle sales will definitely be hit by the most tragic fatal blow in history.
Who will survive the coming storm? This decision is entirely in Shen Li's hands. Follow Shen Li, if you have a good attitude, you will have meat to eat. If you feel that he is dispensable and does not plan to cooperate, then wait and regret it when the time comes!
"Mr. Shen... This... First a thousand bikes, which ...... What will be the approximate number of orders from your side later? Is it convenient to disclose it? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the factory director and leaders when I go back!" asked Shen Li with hesitation.
"The approximate number will never be less, but I am not convenient to say more about the specifics for the time being. "Shen Li, don't consider saying his order needs directly. Because once it is said, I am afraid that the largest bicycle factory in China may be scared to the point of dislocating their jaws.
Not to mention, it is a test for the three bicycle factories, so that you can also see each other's cooperation attitude. To customize a new style of bicycle, manufacturers need to make molds before production. Moreover, the design of the shared bicycle is different from that of ordinary bicycles, and it also adds a GPS positioning system and a lock system. (In terms of car lock system, Shen Li found a relevant manufacturer to provide)
Therefore, if the number of customizations is not large, many manufacturers are reluctant to do this. In this way, it is easy to see the real attitude of the manufacturer.
After listening to Shen Li's words, the representatives of the three bicycle factories showed different expressions on their faces. Some people think that this should be an opportunity, while others feel that if they order 1,000 vehicles first, they are afraid that they will not get the attention of the leaders when they go back, and they will not be able to get good production resources......
Chen Weiwei, the vice president sitting in the conference room, became more and more unable to understand the boss Shen Li, what did she want to do......?
Because according to the boss's previous style, there are three orders like this, and the total amount of orders does not exceed 1 million. Often, the boss does not come forward in person! However, this time, he was very patient to talk so much to the manufacturer's representative.
Although Vice President Chen Weiwei couldn't understand Shen Li's thoughts, she knew that the boss must have made a big move.
Representatives of the three bicycle factories agreed to Shen Li verbally, saying that they would negotiate with the leaders when they went back. But two days later, only Suzhou Jieyida Bicycle Factory reported that a thousand customized bicycles could be delivered within a week.
The other two bicycle factories, one has not replied, and the other said that the delivery time may be about three weeks, and it is still fighting with the factory leaders......
After the different replies of the three manufacturers, Shen Li could easily see which one wanted to cooperate. And which one does not want to cooperate.
Therefore, his sky-high orders are naturally received by those manufacturers who want to cooperate!
A week later, Suzhou Jieyida Bicycle Factory, as promised, placed the 1,000 customized orange bicycles neatly in the manufacturer's warehouse. Now I am waiting for the customer Shen Li to come to accept and check.
On Saturday morning, Gong Ruicong, the representative of the Jieyida Bicycle Factory, and Ye Guangyu, the director of the car factory, rushed to the warehouse overtime. Just to wait for the arrival of the big customer Shen Li.
The factory director, Ye Guangyu, 56 years old, has been engaged in the bicycle industry for more than 30 years. When I was an apprentice, I learned to repair bicycles from my master, and then when I grew up, I entered a bicycle factory as a worker. After that, he continued to improve, step by step to the current position of factory director, which can be said to be very successful.
However, the current situation of the Jieyida bicycle factory, to be honest, is not optimistic. Because of the popularity of automobiles and the development of subways and other means of transportation, there are fewer and fewer cyclists.
At its peak, the JYIDA Bicycle Factory could sell nearly one million bicycles a year. But in today's situation, even the pitiful 200,000 or 300,000 may not be able to be saved......
Factory director Ye Guangyu looked at the 1,000 orange bicycles in the warehouse, and then asked the representative Gong Ruicong, "Xiao Gong, the boss of Wanli Group, if you are satisfied with the bicycles produced by our factory." How many cars will he want in the future? After the last time you talked to him, can you feel it?"
"I feel that there should be no less, Director Ye, the specific quantity, when the customer comes, let me ask him......" Gong Ruicong replied very confidently in his heart.
