Chapter 186 Overseas Factory Construction (Subscription Requested)
The predecessor of Wanbao, that is, the Wanzhibao Toys Company before the name change, had built factories overseas a long time ago.
This is the information that Gu Miao found.
The specific time should be twelve years ago, when Grandpa Du Hao's body was still very tough, and he also had the ambition to make the company bigger and stronger, and Wanzhibao Toy Company was a star enterprise in Jiangchuan.
So in those days, Wanzhibao began to march overseas......
But it's a pity.
Not long after the opening of this branch factory in North America, Mr. Du's physical condition deteriorated sharply, and he passed away not long after.
After Du Hao's father took over, due to poor management, the company was unsustainable, and he had no choice but to sell it at a low price.
to Du Hao's generation......
The former prestige Wanzhibao Toy Company has declined to the point that only a shell remains. Du Hao was not interested in reviving the ancestral business, so he simply packaged it and sold it to Gu Miao.
After Wanzhibao changed its name to Wanbao, through the explosive animation IP authorization continuously provided by Gu Miao, as well as the outstanding talent of the general manager Lao He, Wanbao has recovered its former glory.
Generally, Jiangchuan is the first!
Enterprises have reached this point, just turning around in China, in fact, there is no momentum of development. The best way is to go overseas and actively explore overseas markets.
So......
Lao He, the general manager of Wanbao Toys, after a long period of research and pondering, finally proposed to march overseas and build overseas branch factories in many places.
Gu Miao felt that it was feasible to raise the eucalyptus.
But he really doesn't have much experience, after all, he is not familiar with foreign people, and he rushes to invest, who knows what will happen?
So he wants to consult with someone who has relevant experience.
Du Hao is one of them.
Although he did not personally participate in the formulation of Wanzhibao's strategy of "pioneering overseas", he was a "witness" and should know what to pay attention to.
"Let's make a good relationship."
Du Hao muttered: "Doing business in the territory of foreigners always can't bypass all kinds of interpersonal relationships. Sometimes if you can solve something with money, then don't be reluctant to spend it. ”
Gu Miao nodded.
There is no need for Du Hao to remind him of this, he also knows it.
There are always people who say that Huaguo is a humane society, but if you want to do business, interpersonal relationships are important no matter what country you are in.
It is actually quite important to invest overseas and establish a good relationship with some local local snakes. Otherwise, if you encounter trouble, a huge investment will be wasted, and it will be too late to regret it.
"Of course, that's not the point."
"In terms of interpersonal relationships, it doesn't matter if you don't want to get it, just pull more jobs and let people cast a mouse on you."
Du Hao said eloquently: "You pull a job, when your interests are damaged, not only this person will help you speak, but his relatives and friends will also help you speak." ”
"If you can pull 10,000 jobs, you're the uncrowned king of the region! Whoever wants to move you has to think about it, once you fall, what will happen to these 10,000 families? ”
This is definitely a matter of experience.
Gu Miao agrees with Du Hao's opinion very much, sometimes jobs are really a treasure like a "talisman" for entrepreneurs.
Do charity, make friends, and maybe suffer a backstab, people are unhappy with you, and they will you if they want to.
But it's a different story with jobs.
When your career is tied to thousands of families, politicians and competitors are not very happy to fix you.
Because the price is too great.
Enterprises can go bankrupt and run away, how to settle unemployed workers? Do you give them bread relief food, or do you give them jobs?
"I know what to do."
Gu Miao said with a smile: "The toy manufacturing industry happens to be a manpower-intensive industry, and there is no pollution, so it should be easy to apply for approval overseas, right?" ”
"It's easy."
"You can pay some money and have someone do it for you. This is not a sensitive industry, and the declaration process is quite easy. Du Hao shook his head and said.
"Oh yes......"
Before he finished speaking, Du Hao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly added: "If you open a toy factory overseas, you must pay attention to environmental protection standards." ”
I have a catalogue of ghosts and gods
Environmental protection! Environmental protection! Environmental protection!
Du Hao emphasized it several times in a row, and said with deep hatred: "These foreigners like to talk about this the most." In the past, when Wanzhibao toys were exported overseas, I don't know how many times I was stuck in my neck. ”
"I understand this."
Gu Miao pursed her lips.
Doing business on other people's turf, there are always people staring at you with a magnifying glass, and if there is a slight problem, you will be hung up as a target and.
This is also why, some people on the Internet joke that foreign companies are the most "law-abiding" enterprises.
Is it okay not to obey the law?
As a foreign company, if you go to other countries to develop and open up markets, and do not abide by the rules of the game formulated by others, it is not a toilet to light a lantern and find death!
Environmental protection is a "memorial arch" erected in Europe and the United States.
Regardless of whether their original intention is to put on a show or simply disgusting people, anyway, as a foreign company, it will be over if they implement it according to the standards given by the other party.
Actually, that's it......
Wanbao has always done a very good job in the environmental protection and hygiene of toy products.
Especially children's toys, most of the materials used are non-toxic and tasteless, and they are "degradable" and not "flammable", and the safety factor is almost full.
No way!
If you want to make money for the children, if you don't do a good job in this area, if something really happens, then Gu Miao will be stinking for 10,000 years.
Don't you see X deer milk powder......
It can only be said that Gu Miao is a relatively conscientious businessman.
Even if the domestic toy product standards are not very high, he still strictly requires toy companies to improve the environmental protection and safety of products, and must not produce any moths.
So when it comes to environmental protection, he's not very worried.
Prior to this, even if Wanbao did not build factories overseas, it had already exported a large number of toy derivative products.
I have never encountered the problem of substandard environmental protection standards, and occasionally I am stuck because this tariff is really outrageous.
Yes, that's right!
Why does Gu Miao want to build a factory overseas? In addition to facilitating "logistics" transportation, there is also a very important point because the "tariff" is too heavy.
Here's an example.
A figure priced at more than 500 yuan in China is exported to the neon market, and the retail price starts at least 18,000 yen, which is equivalent to more than 900 yuan.
Consumers are dissatisfied and feel that Wanbao discriminates against pricing, why is neon so much more expensive than Huaguo? Does Gu Sanshui want to collect an IQ tax?
Similarly, Wanbao was also dissatisfied.
This tariff + channel agent + consumption tax is too outrageous, it's not that there is anything wrong with a figure of eight or nine hundred, the key is that the price can't be so different!
made Gu Miao scolded inexplicably.
This is something he can't accept, considering that the sales of Wanbao toys overseas have almost reached 50% of the total sales, it is imperative to build factories overseas!
