Chapter 373: It's still a matter of money
In the end, the vast majority of partners chose Zheng Nan's VAM agreement, after all, everyone is Jiangxia people, and Zheng Nan's development after taking over Jiangxia Electronics Factory is obvious to all.
Especially now the development of Jiangxia Electronics Factory is booming, not only audio and VCD are tens of millions of sales, but also the newly developed learning machine is also sold at a price of 23 million, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a financial crisis.
And Zheng Nan has restarted the research of lithography machine in the past six months, and then went to Ninghai to acquire cooperative optical instrument factories, and also spent a huge amount of money to help Nanyuan Electronics Factory build a chip factory project.
Of course, compared with these, what these partners value most is the benefits of Jiangxia Electronics Factory.
You can't say that they don't have any products, but the brand is stinky and the market is difficult to promote, and more importantly, the profits are low, so that they have financial problems at both ends in three days, and arrears of wages are the norm.
To be honest, these factories are only barely supporting, saying when will he be like Nanyuan Electronics Factory??????????????? It's not surprising that something then fell.
The electronics industry in Jiangxia and even in Jiuhu Province is the best in Jiangxia Electronics Factory, and such customers don't want to catch it, but they still want to serve those factories that may not be able to pay at any time?
And Zheng Nan didn't mean to repay the debt, he wanted to seize the opportunity to ensure R&D and expand production, and more importantly, he was willing to sign a VAM agreement and give more interest, so what does it matter if it only lasts for a year? Could it be true that for this year's payment, we will completely tear our faces and lose this important customer?
Of course, some people choose to ask for money or discuss with Zheng Nan to see if they can pay part of the money first, so that he can go back to the unit to explain.
Zheng Nan can understand the difficulties of these small businesses, after all, it is difficult to get accounts these years, if you don't have a lot of money, there may indeed be some people who have a bad year.
It is understandable that Zheng Nan categorically refused the request to pay part of the money, saying that he would settle it at once if he wanted the money, so as to avoid any back-up.
Zheng Nan knows very well that this opening can't be opened, once it is opened, if Shi Xiaolin and Director Zhou also come to pay for the part, what should he do? If you pay part of the money to everyone, you will not spend a lot of money in vain, so what is the point of bothering to make a VAM agreement yourself?
Therefore, Zheng Nan can only regretfully settle all the arrears on the spot at once, and there will be no more cooperation in the future.
Seeing that Zheng Nan was so resolute, those who originally had ideas immediately strengthened their beliefs.
Within a few days, Zheng Nan got all the partners and kept the cash flow of millions of dollars in the account that could be accessed at any time.
In the evening, accountants Shen Shaobo and Li Lei came to Zheng Nan's office with the account books, and Zheng Nan and the old factory director Li Xing were waiting here.
Shen Shaobo reported directly: "In calculating the amount to be paid, as well as the expenses in the factory for the New Year and the expected year, the funds that can be reasonably allocated in the account are about 13 million. ”
The factory should reserve a part of the funds for the New Year's activities, and for production in the coming year, no one is sure whether the market for various raw materials will change, or whether there will be other emergencies, and the factory must reserve a part of the funds, which is the final result calculated by Shen Shaobo after integrating all possible situations.
If other factory directors, even Chen Zhouyi, the director of Jiangxia's largest radio factory, could hear that there was still more than 10 million cash flow in his business account, he would be happy to play a Chu opera on the spot.
But after hearing this, Zheng Nan sighed and felt that the money was still too little, and there was still a big gap compared to the funds needed for Zhou Minde's laboratory equipment.
Li Xing took the lead in coming up with a plan to Zheng Nan: "Director Zheng, I have studied the list of equipment and picked out the most important equipment from it, and these are the most reasonable after my calculation." ”
Although Li Xing's plan was very good, Zheng Nan shook his hand without looking at it: "The important thing is not this, there is still a lack of money." ”
The old factory director nodded: "There is a lot of money, but this money is not something that can be spent at will, more than half of it is owed by the partner, and there is not a low interest, and there is a gambling agreement, which is even more difficult to spend." ”
Li Xing was silent, he was able to plan the use of the funds very well, but he forgot that this money was not used like this from beginning to end, and he forgot that there was still ??????????????? The VAM agreement, forgetting that if they can't pay it back in time in the coming year, they will have to pay double the compensation, but I am afraid that Jiangxia Electronics Factory will give them day jobs in the next few years.
And at this time, the VAM agreement has been signed, and it is too late to retreat.
Li Xing thought about it and proposed: "Or I will go to my senior sister tomorrow to see if there are any research projects in her laboratory that can be transformed into products, her laboratory has been researching semiconductors for more than 20 years, and there must be a lot of results available." ”
The old factory director said that this is an idea: "It is also good if it can be quickly converted into a product like a learning machine, but it is not good that we sell it to other companies at a high price like a learning machine, after all, this money is also used in her laboratory in the end, and I am not sorry for her." ”
Zheng Nan also agrees with the idea, but also suggests: "We can rely on the laboratory to find breakthroughs, but we can't bet all our hopes on it." ”
Zheng Nan said this based on the idea that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
In addition, more importantly, Zheng Nan also learned a lot about the laboratory situation with Li Xing and Zhou Minde during this time, and knew that the cycle of transforming laboratory research results into real products is quite long.
】
Looking at hundreds of thousands of laboratories around the world, thousands of conceptual inventions can be made in a year, but only one or two actually come out in the end.
As for Zhou Minde's laboratory, Zheng Nan believes that with Professor Zhou's ability, there must be a lot of black technology inventions, but when it comes to landing products, Zheng Nan really has little confidence.
This has nothing to do with vision or anything, some very powerful inventions, due to the constraints of the times or cost and other problems have not been solved, even if they are approved, they may not be able to reach the market.
Just like the space elevator in the small wrecking ball of the fire, it is actually not so sci-fi, and the actual corresponding technology and materials have come out, but due to the complete asymmetry of costs and benefits, coupled with the unclear purpose, it can only be just a look.
There may be many people who don't know that electric vehicles were actually invented before fuel vehicles, but due to the backward battery technology 140 years ago, as well as the fact that electricity was not popular and the price of electricity was expensive, etc., electric vehicles have been in a very embarrassing situation, and it was not until 140 years later that battery technology breakthroughs and power popularization and other reasons shine.
It is for these reasons that Zheng Nan can only let Li Xing try his luck, and he actually doesn't count on this.
The old factory director put forward another set of ideas: "Director Zheng, I have communicated with the sales office, and next year I will increase the development of markets outside the province to see if I can make more revenue back." ”
Li Lei thinks this is a good way: "Our audio and VCD are so good, they must sell well outside the province, won't it be rich if you sell a little more?" ”
Li Xing also said that Zheng Nan should not worry about the production capacity of the workshop, audio and VCD technology is now very mature, and at the same time, it is also skilled in cooperation with mold factories and other component manufacturers, and it is no problem to expand production at any time.
"More than 20 million have been sold in half a year this year, and it is not a problem to sell 60 million next year!" Li Xing let out bold words.
I have to say that Li Xing's math is very good, but doing business is not a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Yes, it is true that the products of Jiangxia Electronics Factory are very good, but it is really a question whether the province can really stand in the market.
First of all, there are no highways these years, and the security situation varies from place to place, so the cost of transportation is a considerable problem, and it is not an exaggeration to give you a 30% or even 50% price increase.
In addition, your product will be quickly imitated by local companies when it arrives in the local area, and then it will be strangled by low-price joints.
In the face of the natural advantages of local enterprises in terms of channels and costs, not to mention the possible off-market moves, the vast majority of enterprises are difficult to withstand.
This is why in this era, except for those large central enterprises, there is basically no product that can cover the whole country of large enterprises, even if it is as strong as Oriental Audio, it can only play in large first-tier cities such as Yandu Baiyun, and it is difficult to show its hands and feet even if there is no Zhengnan in Jiangxia.
Zheng Nan is very confident that if he wants to open the market quickly and return the money as quickly as Ninghai does, it is a dream.
"Alas! It's so slow to make money in this way! Zheng Nan lamented.
The old factory director and Li Xing looked at each other, they didn't understand what Zheng Nan meant by sighing, isn't the development of the factory like this?
Production products for sale...... The product sells for money and comes back to make a profit, and continues to put into production, research and development and upgrade products...... And then continue to sell for money......
Zheng Nan now understands why so many companies can be revitalized as soon as they engage in share reform, and sell shares to get so much money at once, and use cash flow to squeeze out opponents, isn't that great.
But after two things, Ninghai Optical Instrument Factory and Laterite Fund, Zheng Nan did not dare to easily demutualize Jiangxia Electronics Factory.
Because if you put your hand in for those ghosts and know that you are working on the lithography machine, this chip fire that you have saved with great difficulty will really be over!
After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Nan finally decided: "The old factory director, the sales office can consider opening the provincial market here, but it must not be quick success." ”
"Director Li can also go to see Professor Zhou's laboratory, and if there are any good products, you must tell me first, and take them back to the factory for a meeting to discuss."
"In the end, there is myself, I decided to go to Ninghai again."
Zheng Nan said: "We are doing three things at the same time, and we will definitely be able to solve this problem of small money!" ”
