After watching it for a while, Su's father told the research institute to pay attention to the efficiency of the water intake device, and everyone left.

The current situation of the device has yet to be further verified, so let the people in the research institute pay attention to the test records, but on the whole, it has been considered a success, and the rest is to adjust it according to the use situation.

Back to the rolling mill, Director Yang took Li Zhao to his office, sat down, made tea, Director Yang said: "Chief Engineer Li, now there is good news, our patent application is more smooth than we imagined, I received a telegram saying that our patent has been applied for in a country, and the number of applications is still a lot, and we duplicate several patents, are expired patents, we have no impact. Li Zhao was also very happy to hear this result, but also a little worried, although this is a great thing, but this patent is also divided into countries, and it needs to be a major power country to make sense, Li Zhao hurriedly asked: "Which country applied for it?" If it's a small country, it's useless, it needs to be a big country. Seeing that Li Zhao was anxious, Director Yang took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Of course it's John Bull's, Hong Kong Island is now the closest relationship with them, and it is easiest to apply for a patent there." Now other countries have also been submitted, is going through the process, there are John Bull issued patent documents as a guarantee, the process is very fast, from the news back, to March, basically the main countries of the patent can be applied for. This news is a very good news, Li Zhao said: "Then we can basically prepare to distribute the goods, how is the preparation on the sales side, have you contacted the customer?" And how about the factory construction? How's the equipment ready? I don't know how much we'll end up selling, but I'm sure it's going to be good, and if we're not well prepared, we might miss out. Regarding Li Zhao's Lianzhu problem, Director Yang said with a smile: "There is no problem in sales, now that Lou Dong has been off for more than a week, he has brought more than 100 bicycles of various models at his own expense, on the one hand, for exhibitions, on the other hand, as gifts for his friends." Lou Dong was very confident when he left, so I wasn't worried about sales at all, by the way, he also took ten of our tricycles. Li Zhao also felt that he had made the right move, this Lou Dong is not young, he is more than sixty years old, and he actually set off within a few days of the New Year, it seems that he has been suffocated over the years.

Now that I have the opportunity, I immediately have a second spring, but these news are all good news, it depends on the result.

Now Li Zhao is more worried about the problem of the production plant, and asked: "This is good news, Lou Dong can be so positive, it seems that he is very confident in the bicycle, and now the biggest problem is whether our production capacity can keep up, factory director, don't run out of goods to sell at that time, this is an opportunity for the country to make a lot of money." And if the sale is very successful, you might be able to take it a step further. When Director Yang heard Li Zhao say this, he was even happier and said: "I think so too, now I have asked the workshop to work overtime to produce bicycle processing equipment, what do you think of the annual output of 200,000 units?" I calculated that if we had 200,000 sales, we would be able to earn nearly 20 million yuan a year. ”

"I negotiated with Lou Dong about the ex-factory price, and now the price is 65 US dollars, 85 US dollars, 105 US dollars, and the average profit per vehicle is 35 to 40 US dollars. It is about equivalent to a profit of 100 yuan, and there is absolutely no problem with a total profit of 20 million, which is a relatively good factory. Hearing the number of directors Yang, Li Zhao was a little unimpressed, director Yang thought that the scale was a little too small, you must know that those countries in the West are very fond of cycling, sixty years later, it is said that the annual export of bicycles has reached 60 million, the 200,000 is a bit too little, you must know how many sizes of strollers.

After thinking about it, Li Zhao asked: "Factory director, you don't think that all models will sell 200,000 units together, right?" That's too little. I think 200,000 units per model is more reasonable, if 200,000 units per model should be not bad, our profit should be able to reach more than 100 million. Director Yang was a little incredulous when he heard this output, and said: "You don't participate in the meetings of your superiors, you don't know the problem of bicycle production, the year before last was the most, only more than 1.7 million, last year it was only more than 700,000, and the planned amount at the beginning of this year, the bicycle was only given less than 1.5 million." We're selling a million this year, is that possible? It has reached eight percent of the domestic bicycle production. Li Zhao smiled and said: "Our patent application is down, and then the sample car is delivered, plus the grapevine, according to my estimate, one million is definitely the minimum number." It is estimated that the world's demand for bicycles is definitely more than 10 million, 20 million are possible, and 1 million is only 10 percent, you must know that half of them are children's bicycles, and our share is only 5 percent, what are you afraid of? Director Yang was stunned by the number Li Zhao said at this time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say, "Is it really possible that there are so many?" You must know that one million vehicles are worth one or two hundred million, and if something goes wrong, we can't afford it, and then we may all be punished for it. Li Zhao was not worried at all, and said: "There is no problem, you just put your heart in your stomach, you can definitely sell it." And you pay attention to let Lou Dong release the news, saying that the value of the metal used to make bicycles has reached 30,000 rubles a ton, and now it is used to produce bicycles, and it is sold so cheaply just to open up sales, and the price will definitely increase in the future. And you can tell the story well, I haven't forgotten the story I told earlier, right? Director Yang was not calm at this time, and asked: "I have already explained the story you said to Lou Dong, and he will tell it at the appropriate time, but what is the situation, why is it worth 30,000 rubles?" Li Zhao whispered at this time: "Now the aluminum alloy is also exported to Da Mao, and the price is 30,000 rubles per ton. Director Yang said at this time: "You are still black-hearted, Lou Dong only set the factory price of the bicycle to sixty-five dollars, eighty-five dollars, one hundred and five dollars, I think we have earned enough, you are directly earning ten times." Compared with you, I feel that Lou Dong and these capitalists are nothing, you are the real capitalist. Hearing what Director Yang said, Li Zhao sighed and said: "How long do you think this price can be sold, at most it will be sold for a year this year, and the price will definitely be reduced next year." You don't know, alloy steel has just been sold for three or four months at a high price, I don't know who proposed it, and directly reduced it by 20,000 rubles per ton. With the price of our bicycles here, you see, at the end of the year, the price will definitely drop to about 10,000 rubles a ton, and it is difficult to make a lot of money. Hearing Li Zhao say this, Director Yang also made up his mind and said: "Okay, just according to what you said, directly arrange it according to one million vehicles, if you can't sell it at that time, let's be punished together, you definitely can't run away." When Li Zhao heard this result, he also smiled and said: "Factory director, you don't want to produce one million vehicles, but you want to ship one million vehicles this year, and it is estimated that there will be more next year, you had better make a plan to ensure that you can expand production at any time, and you had better be prepared to triple or even five times." I'll look at a few more styles next year, and I'll leave it at that. I'll probably get busier and busier in the future, and I won't necessarily have time to take care of these things. At this time, Director Yang felt that he had heard it wrong, the number given by Li Zhao was too large, it was five million vehicles, which was equivalent to the output of other factories in China for three or four years, and this amount was too much.

Director Yang asked cautiously at this time: "Is it necessary to engage in such a large-scale?" That's five million units, how can they be sold out? Li Zhao smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can definitely sell more, in less than ten years, this amount can definitely reach 10 million, and then you won't feel that there are more now, you will only feel that you are wise enough." And you don't have to install all the equipment right now, you just need to build enough production workshops. When the sales volume reaches more than 70% of the production capacity, it will be expanded once, and it is okay to take it slowly. Director Yang also made up his mind at this time and said: "Okay, just listen to you, anyway, the land I want is big enough, and this construction will be directly built according to the workshop and warehouse of five million vehicles." If it reaches more than three million units, we will directly start the construction of the second phase of the project. In this way, it is good to say to the superiors, if it is directly built at the level of tens of millions of vehicles at a time, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the superiors, after all, it is too bad. Li Zhao was also very happy to see that he persuaded Director Yang, after all, if the annual export volume can reach more than 5 million vehicles at that time, with such a big benefit, no one should put the rolling mill into chaos, after all, the interests in the middle are too great.

And many times the chaos is because someone is too idle, as long as people are busy, it is not easy to mess.
