I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Since Hitachi Machinery took control of YKK zipper, it has given Tadao Yoshida great support.

Improve the automatic zipper machine and develop the slider punching machine, go hand in hand, and strive for the shortest time to develop successfully.

Everyone understands that the sooner the research and development is successful, the sooner the market will be owned.

According to Yoshida Tadao's estimation, all the research and development will be successful in January 1949, and the first batch of 40 machines will be delivered in April.

PG zipper is only less than half a year ahead, and YKK zipper will definitely catch up by then.

According to Tadao Yoshida's vision, in the next three years, the two companies should be equally divided.

However, relying on the entire Dongying industrial system and Hitachi Machinery, he must be the one who wins in the end. Yoshida Tadao always thinks so.

At this time, Tadao Yoshida knew that since Hitachi Machinery's ownership of YKK zipper was a foregone conclusion, the only way to grow the company would be to be worthy of his lost shares.

At present, Hitachi Machinery has been tied to itself, and Yoshida Tadao also unceremoniously uses Hitachi Machinery to produce other small machinery.

I didn't even intend to pay any fees at all. Anyway, I was in arrears with costs and used all the funds to train employees and rent factories.

Fortunately, the machinery I imported from the United States has been continuously produced, and the profits are quite high.

 …

At present, because the production capacity of PG zippers is only 10 million per month, it can only be given priority to supply to large customers around the world, and small and medium customers have not been developed at all.

Therefore, there is still a lot of room for YKK zippers to survive, and even many manual manufacturers in Dongying continue to produce them.

Sometimes Wu Guangyao even wondered if he used the production of Europe and America for Japan to completely defeat YKK zipper, and would there be one less opponent.

Finally shook his head, obviously this is not realistic.

Although it can cause a lot of trouble for YKK zippers, it will not crush others. YKK zippers can completely take the export route and avoid the pressure of PG zippers.

Compared with Europe and the United States, Japan's labor force is still much cheaper.

Seeing the automatic zipper machine in PG Zipper Factory running non-stop, Wu Guangyao actually felt a little heartbroken.

It's not that the heartache machine doesn't stop, but that the heartache can't keep up with the output, which makes me lose a lot of money.

A follow-up batch of 40 machines will not arrive on Hong Kong Island until March next year, and production is still underway in Germany.

My own orders have been scheduled until March. It is conceivable that if this business has machinery and cheap labor, it will be almost invincible.

However, people must look at the long-term, and cannot take one step at a time. They need to plan for the future!

In the conference room of PG Zipper, Wu Guangyao held a meeting, and the management of PG Zipper Company and Yaoshi Industry attended together.

The original intention of establishing Yaoshi Industry was to serve PG zipper, so the two companies were originally one.

"According to the news from Dongying, YKK Zipper and Hitachi Machinery have been cooperating for four months. Without accidents, the improvement of the zipper machine and the development of the slider punching machine have almost come to an end. Although I have never met Tadao Yoshida , but I can also feel that he is extraordinary. Similarly, I have always regarded him as an enemy. If YKK Zipper has dozens of automatic zipper machines in March or April, how should we deal with it? Next, everyone Let's discuss and discuss together!" Wu Guangyao started to let everyone discuss.

All the executives present were his own executives. With the expansion of PG Zipper, Wu Guangyao was even a little worried about whether the talents of these people could support the huge PG Zipper.

So Wu Guangyao secretly decided to embrace all rivers and carry out a global layout!

First expand the sales companies in Europe and the United States, recruit European and American talents, and open up our own worldwide sales network.

For example, the American sales office needs to sell its zippers to the entire Americas.

This is simply impossible to achieve with the current manpower alone, and the same is true for the sales offices in Europe.

Of course, the so-called sales company of PG Zipper is more of a market brain, and there will be agents of all levels below it in the future.

Also, Wu Guangyao intends to establish a research and development center in Europe to deal with the future offensive of YKK zippers.

Wu Guangyao knew the later development of zipper, but without technology, everything is empty talk.

Nylon zippers, metal zippers, and resin zippers are three types of zippers, among which nylon zippers have the advantages of low cost and large output.

Therefore, the R\u0026D center established in Europe must be the direction of this nylon zipper.

Wu Guangyao remembered that the earliest non-metallic zipper was produced in Germany in 1953, so he still had three years to develop it first.

All the management present knew about YKK zippers. After all, they once defeated PG zippers in the Japanese market, so they would not underestimate others.

"Mr. Wu, colleagues. We and YKK zippers have their own advantages. YKK zippers are backed by the entire industry of Dongying, and the raw materials are cheaper than ours; we have great advantages in labor, tax rates, and factory buildings. Therefore, in the next three to five years In 2019, I think our two companies should be the best in the global market and also direct competitors.” This is the voice of Wang Qiang, Manager of PG Zipper Technology Department, and the analysis is very accurate, but this is the truth that everyone understands.

Everyone didn't interrupt Wang Qiang's words, obviously there are countermeasures behind.

"I think our PG zipper company, if we want to keep leading, we should use part of the annual profit for product research and development and machinery improvement. Products need to be updated and diversified, and machinery also needs to be improved. It seems that every machine can It has been used for a long time, and the best state is actually only three to five years, so if you want to be ahead of others, you must replace it quickly. I think that research and development expenses should account for about 20% of the annual profit."

After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he looked at Wu Guangyao carefully. After all, the entire PG zipper was owned by Wu Guangyao (Lin Youde's 20% shares were transferred to Lin Yueru's name), and the profit of the boss was affected. I don't know if the boss will be happy.

"Okay, very constructive opinions. To sum it up, invest in research and development costs. Both products and machinery need to be invested in research and development, and go hand in hand. Afterwards, you will carefully consider the plan, write a report for me, and give it to me!" Wu Guangyao Open your mouth and say.

Not to be outdone, Li Bing also talked about his own views.

"Mr. Wu, colleagues. In addition to technical aspects, we should also improve our sales system......"

Then, the management offered suggestions one after another, and Wu Guangyao nodded secretly. They were all good. He raised a lot of opinions, big and small, and they were all constructive.

These talents were collected from the whole of Hong Kong Island, and they were all educated in the new style, so they are not stupid enough to go there.

The meeting is recorded by a special person, and a summary will be made afterwards.

It's time, it's my turn to perform. As a time traveler, naturally I can't be ashamed.

"At present, the first stage of PG zipper is almost completed. At this point, we have already gained a place in the world's zipper industry, and will even be in a leading position."

"However, the so-called people without foresight must have near-term worries. YKK zipper is about to catch up, so how can we keep ahead in the future?"

"So, I formulated a 'three-year plan'. From 1949 to 1951, we will use another three years to lead the world!"

"Improve the sales system, create a European R\u0026D center, develop nylon zippers, and develop various functional zippers..."

"In terms of business, I have summed up three 'profits'.

First: 'Giving profits' to consumers, as long as there is demand in the market, we must produce regardless of whether the profit is large or small.

Second: 'Giving profits' to dealers, agents, and competitors.

Third: 'Giving profits' to employees and management. If everyone wants, they can use part of their salary every month to buy company shares and enjoy annual profit dividends. "

Wu Guangyao talked for a full two hours before the meeting was over, but its influence will continue forever.
