19 First Step
Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "I think so too, this is the business card of a business manager of the HSBC Group's Victory, you take it, contact him, and this matter will be handed over to you now." ”
After speaking, Chen Zhiwen handed over a business card, although this kind of foundry in Hong Kong looks not small, it is actually not worth much, these little things, you can't always let him ask Shen Bi to take care of it, it's a bit of an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes.
"Then, what does Chen Sheng want?" Lei Shengli took the business card, and he didn't expect that he had just met the boss and accepted such an important task.
Chen Zhiwen said: "There is a certain scale, which can produce household appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners, as long as there are mature procurement channels. ”
"Chen Sheng, this requirement is not difficult, but this sales channel is generally in the hands of foundry customers, and it is difficult for us to open channels for these products?"
Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "After the acquisition first, I will talk about it, and after the acquisition, I will do the OEM business normally, and I will be responsible for the rest." ”
The most difficult thing for mature products is to gain the market, for example, in China in 2022, any workshop can make electric fans, but how to compete with the mature giants in the market?
This is the most strenuous thing, even if BYD Tesla Volkswagen enters the fan market, you can't fight the existing fan giants.
"Okay, I see." Lei Shengli thought for a while, and then said, "Chen Sheng, let's call me Lao Lei." ”
"Okay, old Lei." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "I have three industrial office buildings in Yuen Long, where there is more space than your current factory, the environment is much better, I have prepared air conditioning, you make a relocation time plan, try to move there as soon as possible, global employees, have you bought a house near your current factory?" ”
"Yes, but it's very little, the wages of the factory, I can't afford to buy a house for a lifetime." Lei Shengli said with some bitterness.
"And what about their dormitory?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"Yes, it's also near the factory, it's an industrial office building that has been rebuilt, and other factories also live together like this." Lei Shengli said.
"Moving to a new place, I have prepared a place to live, not to mention how good it is, a dormitory for 6 people, a bathroom and everything." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.
Hong Kong's economic development is too fast, especially real estate, resulting in too many people can't catch up, and the result is very poor, you know, the Geneva Conventions require no more than 8 people to be a dormitory for prisoners, but many places in Hong Kong can't do this.
Although I may not be able to change this general trend, the first step is to be kind to the people who work for me, since the real estate that my father wants to come to is a normal residence, naturally there is no dormitory, this is for people who can afford to live, and the employees live in a dormitory building.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Lei Shengli hurriedly said, he also had long felt that the employees lived too poorly, but he couldn't do anything.
"Let's get busy first, settle things as soon as possible, and the factory will run normally, and everyone will have a better life, right?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
Lei Shengli nodded and said, "Then Chen Sheng, I'll go first, and I'll report to you when I finish sorting out the information." ”
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is spent in the sky full of fireworks.
Lei Shengli also locked up two factories for the RB brand, one to make color TVs, and the other to produce refrigerators and window air conditioners.
After reading the information, Chen Zhiwen sighed and said: "It's really just an assembly factory, and everything is bought overseas." ”
Lei Shengli said: "This can't be blamed on them, there is no supporting industry in Hong Kong, and they need too much money if they invest themselves." ”
"Yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded. It is normal for TV picture tubes and refrigerator air conditioner compressors to be imported from overseas, and Hong Kong does not have the ability to produce them, but what is unexpected is that a number of electrical foundries in Hong Kong, in addition to some basic plastic shells, sheet metal fixing frames are produced locally, and others including copper pipes, filters, wiring harnesses, etc. are imported.
Lei Shengli continued: "Chen Sheng, the information I checked shows that their normal orders have been cut a lot, will there be a certain risk in our acquisition?" ”
"Is there an oil crisis, normal, how much do they offer?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said that the modern economy is an economy of confidence, and the high price of oil has made countless enterprises lose confidence.
And in the downstream of the supply chain or foundry, it will be affected like never before.
However, Chen Zhiwen also knows that by March, OPEC will resume the normal supply of oil, although oil prices are unlikely to return to the past, but at least the "worse trend" will not appear again, which also makes the economies of Europe and the United States fall less badly.
"500,000 for a family, 800,000 for a family." Lei Shengli said.
"Then let the Tori talk about it again, and the price can be reduced by 10%." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said. Although these two companies do not have much technical content, years of assembly experience are also very valuable, and with a well-established supply chain, it is also worth some money.
And it is unlikely that you want to buy a better one in Hong Kong, the current black and white appliance industry is not a sunset industry in developed countries, Europe, America and Japan attach great importance to their own domestic brands, and basically produce in their own countries, and the reason why Hong Kong has RB brand foundries is because Hong Kong is part of the Commonwealth, and exports to the Commonwealth are a little more cost-effective than RB local.
It's just that RB's big brands have gone to Commonwealth countries to build factories directly, and only some small brands are not very capable of investing overseas, so they choose to let Hong Kong manufacturers OEM, and then export to Commonwealth countries on an OEM basis. And this output is not much, there are more than 10,000 air conditioners a year, a little more refrigerators, plus the rise of South Korea's manufacturing industry, according to history, it is estimated that by the 80s, Hong Kong can only make electric fans in the electrical sector.
Lei Shengli nodded and said, "Okay, I'll negotiate with Dorry again." ”
"How's the relocation going?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.
Lei Shengli said: "9 percent of the employees within Global Electronics are willing to relocate, I have contacted the relocation company, ready to move all at the end of February, and now I am making every effort to rush to prepare more inventory." ”
"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded, the framework of several major electrical appliances business is almost completed, and the next step is to invest in the development of technology and find channels for these products.
As early as last year, a large number of sales recruited by Galaxy Holdings have gone overseas, and are increasing their feelings with several overseas supermarket buyers with huge potential, these are Wal-Mart in the United States, Carrefour in Europe, Metro, etc., and later generations are supermarket giants that everyone knows.
