Chapter 127: Sales Boom!
In the office, the city leader was silent for a moment, then he picked up the internal phone and dialed the phone number of the office on duty:
"Get me a car, I'm going to the department store square."
After a few moments, the city leaders left the office building and got in the car to go to the People's Department Store.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Quancheng, People's Department Store.
As the largest department store in Quancheng, the building is located in the center of the city, and in front of the building is a spacious square, which is a good place for the residents of Quancheng to relax, and it is also bustling on weekends.
But today, it's a bustling place!
I saw that the whole square, as far as the eye could see, was full of people, it was no longer enough to describe the bustling, the crowd of people could barely be described, the noise and noise were endless, and it was a lively and extraordinary appearance.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the people on the periphery are relatively chaotic, especially there are many small merchants and vendors, such as the uncle who carries a flat basket with melon seeds and peanuts, sells it with cups and newspapers, and pushes a bicycle, and a wooden box is fixed on the frame, covered with a white quilt, and it is obvious that he sells popsicles.
After all, in this era, people who are willing to line up here to test drive motorcycles and try this novel business behavior are not honest people nine times out of ten.
"Please line up in an orderly manner, please queue up to participate in the test drive of the Red Star motorcycle, the queue is invalid!"
"If you buy directly, please take the red channel on the right!"
"To buy a light tricycle, take the blue lane on the far left on the left."
"To see motorcycle and light tricycle displays and performances, head to the very middle area."
"Don't push, stay safe!"
In the midst of the uproar, there was a louder voice echoing, repeating over and over again, and the provincial leader who got off the car at this moment said to Director Liang with a smile:
"To be honest, I haven't seen such a grand occasion in years!"
"Sure enough, if you want the market and economic prosperity, you still have to be a pioneer like the Red Star Consortium who has ideas and abilities, is willing to engage in research and innovation, and works hard to overcome hardships and dangers!"
"Look at it, our Quancheng Motorized Bicycle Factory has been producing for nearly 20 years with a light riding 15 models."
"Except for a slight change in styling, the engine is still the same, and I will fix the two-stroke engine."
"Especially in recent years, it is a report every three or five dozen reports pouring bitter water, technology is not good, production lines are not good, equipment is not good, anyway, foreign exchange, the year before last to introduce Czech technology, last year to introduce East German technology, this year to introduce Japanese technology."
"I feel that if there is no foreign exchange, their light cavalry 15 can be produced for another hundred years!"
If Wang Ye heard these words of the leader, I am afraid it would be very difficult to hold back his laughter, because in normal history, it would be impossible to wait for another two years in the city and province, and finally he was approved for foreign exchange, introduced Japanese technology, and began to produce Mulan 50 scooters.
Subsequently, Qingqi also became the leading manufacturer of large motorcycles in China, and in the eighties and nineties, it was also in the limelight, and even "Mulan" became synonymous with scooters.
It has even become the earliest listed motorcycle company in China, but it has also become Xiao He and Xiao He, because the stock market makes money too fast, cutting leeks is too cool, and how hard does it take to produce motorcycles? Coupled with corruption and other problems, at the end of the nineties, the light ride, which once occupied the market share of Huaxia motorcycles for more than 18 years, gradually declined, and after the new century, there was no more to get the product, and it became a notorious existence in the market.
To put it simply, it is "as cool".
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
The leader looked at the grand scene in front of him, and couldn't help but "step" on it, and after the whole person was comfortable, he said to Director Liang next to him, and behind the two leaders, there were two middle-aged people following.
The four of them walked in the square, and they didn't look like ordinary people, but they would never guess that this was actually a provincial leader!
Soon, the four of them came to the middle position.
I saw that a clearing had been circled here, and there were two tricycles in the clearing, and the body on the left was full of briquettes and stacked like a hill, and I saw a young man constantly stopping, starting, walking, and stopping, demonstrating the transportation capacity of the tricycle.
The tricycle on the right is equipped with a compartment, a three-door car, which is two doors for the front driver, and the door behind the body, and the compartment is sitting on the left and right.
At this moment, under the gaze of the leader, I saw a group of onlookers being invited in, the driver was excluded in front, and two more people were seated, and in the back compartment, one after another, five were seated on the left, five were seated on the right, and finally in the middle aisle, three more people were seated using Mazazi, and in the case of a full load of sixteen people, the driver also drove up, which looked quite stable.
And the reason why it is so stable is inseparable from Wang Ye's design, although the economy is underdeveloped now, Dora's fast running behavior must exist, but Wang Ye can't make money with a conscience, normal tricycles are easy to overturn when turning at a large angle, which is the most fatal problem, and in order to solve this problem, in addition to the metal roll cage, Wang Ye also added two small wheels in the front row, much like the training wheels of children's bicycles in later generations.
When heavy loads are pulled, these two wheels can be put down, and if there is a tendency to roll over, they can be supported.
In addition to these two tricycles, there are also two motorcycles that perform various performative actions, such as acceleration, head cocking, tail flicking, throttle blasting, and even tire burning.
As for the children who were carried in and sat in the back row to experience, they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and there were even parents taking pictures!
But for the leader, it is clear that he prefers these tricycles!
"Huh? Wang Ye, this little comrade is really unusual! This tricycle is good! I think it's better than a motorcycle! ”
"A motorcycle is a means of transportation, but this tricycle, I think it can be called a production tool, whether it is a port to pull fish, or an urban area to carry something, across counties and cities to transport some goods, it is very convenient!"
"It's also very good to pull people, the design is very reasonable, and it pays attention to safety, and the metal frame is very strong!"
"Jin Song, how can the gap between this person and people be so big? How many years has it been since pedal tricycles appeared? Why didn't anyone think of producing a light tricycle from a motorcycle engine? ”
"Besides, this transport, now it's either a truck, or a tractor, and the smallest is a light truck, and it can only take the big road, and there is no one who is half a big and small transport vehicle, why no one is thinking about what kind of model this is? Isn't it more convenient to be able to run around the streets? ”
"Look at it, now that Wang Ye has thought of it, I guess his tricycle will definitely sell very well!"
"Because this is the product that the people need!"
I saw the leader looking at the two tricycles not far away, and said to Director Liang next to him with a smile and emotion.
And Director Liang couldn't help nodding frequently, with a radiant look on his face, after all, the Red Star Consortium was still half of his subordinates, and it was normal to be so praised by the leader that he was happy, and at the same time couldn't help but echo and said:
"Yes! With this thing, it is convenient to do a lot of work. ”
"The diesel three-wheeler is too heavy, and the board car has no power, so this small three-wheeler is stuck in the middle, just right!"
"The key is that the price is not too expensive, the price of 8,000 yuan is still okay!"
In today's era, the price of a single head of a domestic four-wheeled single-cylinder small tractor ranges from 5,000 to 8,000, and if it is an imported brand, it is also possible to get 35,000 yuan, but the head alone can not do work, and if you want to pull goods, you need a set of bodies, and it costs thousands of dollars.
The key problem is that the tractor is a diesel engine, although it is energetic, it generally cannot run fast, and can only transport things between fields and towns.
As for the truck, the price is even more expensive, the cheapest small light truck costs 20,000 or 30,000, like the liberation brand truck used in the factory, it costs 70,000 or 80,000 units, not to mention ordinary people, most of the ordinary units that are not very large can not afford to consume!
"But it's not cheap!"
"Actually 12,000? Can it really be sold?
Finally, the leader pointed to the price of motorcycles and said, the price of domestic motorcycles nowadays, most of them are between 600 and 3,000 yuan, and imported motorcycles, the price is much more expensive, ranging from 5,000 to 40,000, anyway, Honda King is the most expensive in ordinary motorcycles, as for more expensive, but not to mention ordinary people, the vast majority of rich people have not heard of it.
At this moment, as soon as the leader's voice fell, a young man next to him seemed to hear the voice, turned his head to see that it was a gray-haired uncle, and said with a smile:
"Hey, don't worry, you can sell, and it's not enough to sell!"
"I heard that the spot that has been produced by the Red Star Consortium factory has been sold just now, if you want to buy it now, you can only go there to register, and then give you a number, and you can go to their counter in the department store next week, or their after-sales repair shop, and skip the line to buy!"
"Don't look at 12,000 expensive, this product is a penny for the price, this is an off-road ADV racing! Do you know what ADV is? It means adventure motorcycle, that is, if you ride this bike, you can run whether it is oil roads, dirt roads, mud roads, bad roads, hillsides, puddles, ditches, ditches, and bumps! Go wherever you want! ”
"And the little devil's Honda King will sell it for 39,000! The rally can't even run this Red Star ADV, this 12,000 is really not expensive! ”
"It's a pity, I don't have that much money, I want to have 39,000, I buy a copy of this Red Star ADV, and the rest is used to marry a daughter-in-law, isn't it? Why do you want to send money to the little devils? Do you say? ”
Hearing this young man's talk, the leader was stunned for a moment, yesterday's motorcycle race program, the leader also heard a little, and even the eldest grandson has been watching it, but he feels too noisy, hiding in the study to work.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that maybe he should ask the TV station to send a video tape over and watch it when he had time!
"The little comrade actually knows so much."
"I really don't know what an ADV motorcycle is, but I've seen it for a long time today!"
Hearing the old man praise himself, the young man suddenly smiled embarrassedly and said:
"I only found out yesterday when I watched the game."
"You've won a prize!"
Then the four of them left here, and after walking out of the crowd, Director Liang lowered his voice and explained to the leader:
"Regarding the issue of pricing, I heard Wang Ye say it."
"He said that the vast majority of the people now can't afford to buy motorcycles, in fact, there is not much difference between selling 10,000 and selling 20,000, and factories like Qingqi and Jialing have produced relatively cheap motorcycles within 1,000 yuan, so there is no need for the Red Star Consortium to grab this food with them for the time being."
"So Wang Ye said that their motorcycles are motorcycles aimed at the high-end market, and what they want to build is our own high-end motorcycle brand in Huaxia, and it can't be said that high-end motorcycles are foreign cars, which is not good!"
"And that's one of the most important reasons why he held that competition."
"And he also said that only to create high-end cars, in order to create high-quality and low-end cars, in order to make the broader masses of people really afford motorcycles, if the price is too low, there is no profit for research and development, then there is no technological progress, China's motorcycle industry, will not develop."
"In the end, it's like a light ride 15, twenty years into production, and the engine is still the same two-stroke it used to be."
Hearing Director Liang say this, the leader couldn't help but sigh, and then the four of them came to a place with few people.
I saw that the test drive activities over there were still going on, and the people who bought them were also endless, and even some people had already shown off on the Red Star ADV motorcycle, constantly roaring the accelerator, and enjoying the eyes of the stars holding the moon under the watchful eyes of countless people.
Unlike the people who buy motorcycles, the people who buy tricycles in all kinds seem to be people who work hard, or even a few people who buy together, holding a bunch of half-new and not old big together, and go there to pick up new cars.
And those who have almost no money, can't borrow money, and can't find a partner, seem to be quite impatient and anxious, and look like a good opportunity for wealth has been let go by themselves, and it is conceivable that a good opportunity has indeed been let go.
After all, in this era, not to mention pulling goods, even if it is pulling people, it is a good deal.
"Huh? Isn't that Wang Ye? ”
"And Feng Shuji from the municipal party committee actually came?"
Just when the leader was standing on the steps and looking at the bustling crowd, Director Liang suddenly said this, and looked in the direction of his finger, only to see Wang Ye standing next to a popsicle vendor bicycle in the crowd, actually eating popsicles, while the city leader was wandering around on the other side.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
A moment later, Wang Ye, who was eating popsicles because of the large number of people and the heat, suddenly saw the two leaders and Director Liang walking towards him together!
"Why are you three here?"
"Xu Shuji is good! Feng Shuji is good! Hello Director Liang! ”
Seeing these three people, Wang Ye hurriedly crushed the popsicle and swallowed it, and then greeted him with a smile.
