Chapter Twenty-Three: New Guns
The parts were all moved into the office, and I said assemble them, two to do it, and four to look at .......
Pick up a new assembled gun and try the bolt loading and unshelling action, smooth and free; Close the fuse and try the feeling of maximum trigger force and minimum trigger force, the basic response is crisp, and the trigger force size range is set properly; Try the magazine fit, the tenon action is reliable, and it can basically meet the action requirements of quick magazine change. Well, there is no bullet prompt for the lack of magazines, and it looks like the butt is not beautiful.
"Ball, you try the gun and find out the best one to do Fred's practice gun. The bullets with inaccurate weight are used for the test guns, and the bullets for the school guns are set by themselves, and Mr. Brandett keeps a record of the bullets. Bauer didn't say a word, picked up the two and left.
"Mr. Brandett, find some pistol bullets and bring them?"
"Fred, shall we have a cup of coffee and touch the situation?" Fred greeted and came to the rest area.
Seeing Brandt come back with a bullet, he said let's have a drink together.
Looking at a group of scoundrels chatting over coffee, he had to speak first: "Fred, which of these three new guns do you like?" ”
Fred thought for a moment: "It's all good, each has its own characteristics, I like them all!" "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, he doesn't have any artistic cells at all.
"Which one does Mr. Gross prefer?"
"I can't bear to say I don't like any of them, I like them all." This is a guy with no principles.
"Mr. Brandett, tell me about it."
"My favorite is the new blue gun!" This guy is purely old-fashioned.
Seeing me looking at her, Charlotte took the initiative to say, "I don't like firearms, I think the yellow one is okay, the white one is too flamboyant, so I won't talk about that." ”
"Haha...... listen, this is an expert, the three of you, one has no sense of art, one is unprincipled, and the other is conservative." As soon as these words came out, they caused a group attack!
After a pause, I said, "Let me show you how accurate Ms. Sallotte's feelings are." "Pick up the new cadmium-plated gun and put it in the sunlight through the window, and the metallic luster of cadmium-plated immediately exudes a noble fascination. The four of them didn't expect this effect! I couldn't help but say proudly, "How is it?" Still against Ms. Shalotte? Don't feel like you're lacking in art yet? Fred's new gun for the race is like this, think of Fred standing on the podium holding a ...... that exudes a charming color, and so on, you lack a sense of art, you don't have a sense of association, right? "He was poisoned again.
"Let's take a look at the situation, the progress of the new gun is already here, and I will report on the situation here." Fred said. "Although I have been practicing shooting for a few days, I have improved significantly, and the 1,000-yard target position can stabilize at the level of more than 5 rounds and 30 rings." Everyone applauded and encouraged.
"The team managers have already looked for a few and are inspecting and negotiating treatment." After a pause, Fred continued: "My father's opinion is to register the company as soon as possible, and he can lease this workshop to us to use. Tell me your opinion. ”
"With the new gun, I would like to give you a suggestion for Fred's training, which is to divide the training into three phases, 1000 yards, 1200 yards, and 1000 yards. Then try to urge Zeiss to come up with a 10x scope as soon as possible. I support the registration of a company mentioned by Mr. Schmidt, after all, it can standardize the promotion work and reduce the mistakes and losses of the work.
Before registering the company, it is necessary to sort out the expenses of the previous stage, which are the pocket money that Mr. Schmidt financed the Fred competition, which ones, to be included in the expenses of the new company, how much is one thing, and it is another thing to leave no future troubles, after all, the factory is not managed by Mr. Schmidt alone, and we can't let other people gossip. ”
After a pause, he continued: "The company's site must be purchased as soon as possible, and if it can be big, it should not be small. Ladies and gentlemen, do not doubt Germany's judgment that the economy is about to recover and take off, taking advantage of the fact that real estate prices are not high now. There is no way to do it here temporarily, and remember that it will not be long before Mr. Schmidt's factory will face expansion, and this workshop will have to be fully utilized.
Please trust my judgment and trust our Prime Minister! If you want to buy a few stocks, now is the right time to enter the market, and Fred strongly recommends that you pool your pocket money to buy some stocks, and choose some companies related to the military industry, especially those that have helped the prime minister, such as Farben, Krupp, Bayer, etc. By the way, Ms. Charlotte, and do you have a sales branch for dyes in Berlin? ”
Obviously the jump was a bit big, and Charlotte reflected for a while and said, "There should be, I can help you ask!" ”
"Okay, thanks! That's all I want to say, Fred. ”
"Mr. Brandt, how are you doing there?" Fred asked.
"Mr. Schmidt, there are already more than 1,000 rounds of competition-grade ammunition for training, and we can keep up with your training use. The short stern bullet is still being verified, and after the gunpowder is small and granular, the advantages of the long stern bullet are brought into play, and the specific determination still depends on the test. There are no ideas for sniper-grade bullets at the moment. ”
"It's basically clear what the bullet is going to do next with me, what are the specific plans for you and Gross next?" Fred asked.
"Mr. Li, let's talk about it, I'll cooperate." Gross directly shook the pot.
"Ahem, then I'll talk about it first, Mr. Gross corrects and adds. One is the question of the perfection of this new gun. I won't talk about the perfection and adjustment of the parts fit, Mr. Gross will handle it; The market positioning of this new gun is for civilian use, and in the future, if the military sees it, we will look at the military version.
Market segmentation judgment and marketing strategy need to be decided through negotiation after the management team is basically formed, and cannot be decided by an individual patting his head. Here is just to talk about my ideas to provide reference, now I see the new blue gun can basically be determined as a standard type, and the future will be considered from two aspects to expand, one is the length of the short, the market needs to have the demand for technology to achieve two aspects to determine the finalization;
The other is divided into four levels, ordinary level, gift level, luxury level, and super luxury. There are two types of ordinary grade baked blue, and there are two types of gift grades, and the customers of cadmium plating are similar to Ms. Salotte and me, who have an artistic sense; The flamboyant of chrome is aimed at people like Fred who are rich and lack artistic cells.
The luxury grade should be silver-plated and gold-plated and engraved, and the super luxury gem-inlaid gems can also be used. Luxury and above must be customized, and customized services can be provided at any level, such as engraved with the name of the holder, special commemorative text, logo, etc.
Another is to establish a continuous improvement system, the marketing department has two basic tasks, to sell the gun, to bring back the customer's money and strange requirements, these strange customer requirements are the basis and motivation for the continuous improvement of the R&D department.
Ms. Shalotte, now you need to find two painters and make them feel that the stock should be the most aesthetically pleasing to the whole firearm, and we will make as many samples as they paint, and we will definitely not dismiss any work until the samples are out. Also design a company logo. ”
"Fang Wu, don't go, stay and be the manager!" Ms. Shalotte said.
"Ms. Shalotte, what a wonderful place to be in Germany, with so many friends, and about to usher in the golden age of business, who is willing to leave, isn't there no way? Even before leaving, I relied on everyone's help to try to make me ready, I have to go when I'm ready, and I have to go if I'm not ready! Don't worry too much, I've learned so much from Fred, and it's not for nothing. ”
"Mr. Li, the last time you talked about the completion of the new gun, and the design of a new type of firearm, when did it start?" Gross asked.
I nodded and said, "The civilian version of this new gun actually has only one customer group, that is, the wealthy, noble, and hunting enthusiasts, mainly in Europe, America and Japan, and the core area is Europe. ”
Watching everyone ponder, he paused for a while and continued: "There is only such a market, even if there are no competitors, it is difficult for the company to become bigger, and if the military does not look at it, the company's outcome can be expected." The company is based on civilian use, and the market pattern supplemented by military can be basically determined. Therefore, the company cannot have only one product, it must design new products and develop new customer groups, and there are really such groups to be developed. ”
