"15,000 bottles an hour? That's double the capacity of our current production lines? Chen Zhiwen was a little surprised, and some other senior executives who didn't know about this matter were also very moved, they all knew about Red Bull's profit margin, if the production capacity could come up so soon, it would be a good thing for everyone.

"Yes, it seems that the equipment is controlled by a means of control called PLC, but I only looked at the photos, and I have to go to Germany to find out." Qin Zhihao said.

"Okay, then you can find a time to take a look." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In later generations, many beverage or beer filling machine production lines have a production capacity of 20,000 or 30,000 per hour, but in this era, it is inconceivable, not mechanical limitations, but electronic technology.

In the 70s, electronic products led by computers opened up the civilian market with a market value of trillions, but it was also in this era that the industrial field also ushered in a new king PLC control system.

PLC, simply put, is a programmable controller, which uses a programmable memory to store instructions for performing logical operations, sequence control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations, and controls various types of mechanical equipment or production processes through digital or analog input and output.

Before the PLC, the execution of many commands required separate electronic components, such as various relays, which were not only expensive, but more importantly, took up a lot of space to bring very complex circuits, consumed energy, made noise, and difficult to maintain, while the computing power also limited the upper limit of equipment operation.

After the birth of PLC, the volume of the electronic control core unit has been greatly reduced, the computing power has been doubled, the production capacity of various industrial equipment has also been greatly improved, and even the production line of civilian computers is inseparable from PLC, it can be said that the birth of PLC is a small industrial revolution.

Chen Zhiwen actually knows this important product, but only players such as Siemens and General Electric can intervene in this thing, and RB is also a player who entered the market later. Obviously, some large companies in Germany are already starting to use PLCs.

However, whether this kind of equipment is suitable for Hong Kong, it also depends on the situation, no matter how good the equipment is, if it is broken, it will not be repaired by itself, and engineers must be invited from Germany, so the efficiency is not necessarily comparable to the use of these semi-automatic equipment that also needs manual operation, and it can also drive Hong Kong's employment.

"Then I'll arrange the things at hand in the afternoon, and I'll take a plane to Germany in the evening." Qin Zhihao said.

"That's hard work." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"For the sake of the company, it should be." Qin Zhihao also said with a smile.

Red Bull's products are relatively single, the only problem at present is the production capacity, and the United States is different, there are several products, although the market is also there, but it is far from being as smooth as Red Bull, after all, one is a new product, and the other is to compete for market share with various old kings, and the technology is not as good as others.

Lei Shengli also focused on the situation of several businesses of the United States, the smoothest development is the electric fan business, the motor production line purchased from RB has been in place, with the help of RB engineers have also successfully made the product, plus many parts of the electric fan are produced by themselves, the cost has been reduced to a very low level, and because of the low-price strategy, it is very popular with customers in Asian countries, especially now that Asia is still summer-based. At present, the production capacity of Midea electric fans has been as high as 3,000 units a day, but fortunately, the production of electric fans is mainly assembly, and now there are unemployed people in the Hong Kong market.

However, the fan is also a seasonal product, and the market will shrink immediately in September, and Lei Shengli does not dare to expand desperately.

Another important business radio, with the active recovery of the world, overseas orders have gradually returned to normal, but the upper limit seems to be like this, Chen Zhiwen, the boss, is not willing to spend money in this field, but with Toyota's car radio business has begun to supply, but limited by the lack of initial production capacity of Toyota's new new production line, the current shipments are still very low, and the business team also relied on the identity of Toyota's supplier, began to contact Honda and Nissan, although it has just begun, but these two auto giants have not refused, That's good news.

On the other hand, Chen Zhiwen cares about the field of television, Lei Shengli also personally went to Wanwan, and after communicating with RCA's business department, he got hundreds of color picture tubes, and the research and development department is developing color TVs belonging to Midea according to the picture tubes, which is estimated to be completed next year.

Finally, the refrigerator and air conditioning business, except for a little market in the Middle East, in other places including Hong Kong, there is no progress, the normal price of more expensive electrical appliances, no popularity is basically difficult to sell, Chen Zhiwen's plan is to use the Middle East market, to test the quality of their products.

In fact, not to mention the newly acquired Fedmart, as long as you spend more money on publicity and operation in the United States, it is not difficult to send Midea refrigerators and air conditioners in, but if there is a quality problem, the follow-up cost will be too high, and more importantly, this is to smash your own brand. The environment in the Middle East is harsh, if there is a problem with its own products in the Middle East, Hong Kong will immediately rectify it according to the reason, and will not test the European and American markets until the failure rate is very low.

"You mean, the business team in the Middle East, a dozen people left?" Although the business development is within the scope of Chen Zhiwen's prediction, he has just learned that there are a lot of people in the Middle East.

"Yes, the business manager in charge of Saudi Arabia left Shen Weitao, and took away more than a dozen of his subordinates, and they went to start a business together." Lei Shengli said with some embarrassment.

"Starting a business, what to do? Also doing business in the Middle East? Chen Zhiwen asked with interest, the current Middle East, equivalent to the poor villages in the mainland in the future has just undergone a major demolition, and the money in hand is too much, unlike the rich people in Europe and the United States, these people have money and don't know what to buy, this is a very big market, and people with vision can get a piece of the pie.

"It's in the Middle East," Lei Shengli said, "Shen Weitao opened a family government company in the Middle East, which is responsible for training domestic servants for wealthy Middle Eastern families, and these servants are actually Filipino maids. ”

"Filipino maid? That's good business. Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, he thought that there must be a shortage of goods in the Middle East, but services may actually be even more lacking.

And the current situation, it may be that these local tyrants in the Middle East didn't think that they could hire a maid, because almost everyone in the country has money now, but the most clever business is to tell consumers what they need.

Obviously, this Shen Weitao has done it, and the former sales champion is really discerning.

PS: To put it simply, many people in the comment area say it's too smooth, in fact, this is the reason why I made a lot of money by writing the protagonist directly in the early days, the initial accumulation is nothing more than a financial routine, and writing it again is to repeat the plot of other books, so it is a very successful template for the direct start, the follow-up business story of this book will be different from other Hong Kong texts, but there must be some repetitions, these repetitions, I will basically describe them simply, too much pen and ink to write, everyone is still watching the same plot!
