Reborn Industrial Tycoon

The conclusion drawn by Manager Xue made Jiang Aiguo look like a black man. In Jiang Aiguo's view, how could Li Weidong do an unprofitable business?

"Manager Xue, did you make a mistake in your calculation? Why don't you calculate it carefully?" Jiang Aiguo said.

Manager Xue said: "Boss, although I don't know the prices of various parts in detail, I also know the approximate price range, so I can't make any mistakes. For example, the imported heating tubes used here, I estimate

The price of this one is..."

"Don't calculate it based on the price of imported parts. How could Li Weidong use imported parts? You have to calculate it based on the price of domestic parts!" Jiang Aiguo said.

"Although domestic parts are a little cheaper, they are not much cheaper." Manager Xue wrote and drew in a notebook, and finally calculated a number.

Then Manager Xue said: "Boss, if you switch to domestic parts, Li Weidong can make money. It is estimated that one piece of equipment can earn at most one dollar! You have to rush to settle the exchange when the exchange rate is good. If the exchange rate is not good,

You can't even earn this dollar."

"How is it possible to earn only one dollar for a home appliance that costs forty dollars, and it depends on luck? In the past Canton Fair, Li Weidong never made a lot of money. How could he do such a thing of losing money and making a profit!"

Jiang Aiguo spoke.

"I don't know about that." Manager Xue said, picked up the tools, assembled the toaster in front of him, and said at the same time:

"Boss, I'll put this toaster back together for you first. Although our factory can imitate this thing, Li Weidong has lowered the price to 40 US dollars. Even if we imitate it, we can't make any money. It's very difficult.

You might even lose money!”

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Aiguo sat on the chair with a confused expression. His mind was filled with what Li Weidong did and said.

"When things go wrong, there must be a monster. This Li Weidong first took the initiative to reduce the patent fee, and then made a profit at a loss. What on earth is he going to do?"

…

At the same time, the old waiter Ma Dexing brought hot tea to Li Weidong again, and then couldn't put it down and held up the Wal-Mart contract.

"Yesterday, Costco ordered 200,000 units, with a total price of 8 million US dollars. Today, Wal-Mart ordered another 200,000 units, with another 8 million US dollars! This toaster actually sold for 16 million US dollars. Director Li,

You really surprise me every time!" Ma Dexing said.

"This time it's all about small profits but quick turnover. To be precise, it should be no profit but quick turnover. Don't look at the large amount of the order, but the amount of the order is also very large. In fact, you won't make much money." Li Weidong replied.

"As long as there is foreign exchange!" Ma Dexing said with a smile. As long as it can bring in a lot of foreign exchange, Ma Dexing doesn't care whether the company can make money.

I saw Ma Dexing put down the contract and then said: "Director Li, two hundred thousand units plus two hundred thousand units, it will be four hundred thousand units. This is not a small amount. Can the production capacity of your electric furnace factory keep up?"

?”

"Don't worry about production capacity. I have already negotiated with foreign companies. The delivery time can be delayed by two months, which is enough for me to carry out production." Li Weidong replied.

"What about parts and components? The supply of industrial raw materials this year is quite sufficient, but prices are unstable. Will this affect your production?" Ma Dexing continued.

"No." Li Weidong shook his head and thought to himself: Who told you that I will give birth when I get back? What I am selling this time is futures small appliances!

…

After more than ten days of the Canton Fair, Li Weidong only took large orders from Costco and Wal-Mart, and then collected the 50% deposit.

A total of 16 million U.S. dollars worth of orders were signed for toaster ovens, and a deposit of 8 million U.S. dollars was received. Air fryers were sold less, with only 40,000 units signed in total. A total of more than 6 million U.S. dollars worth of orders were received.

A deposit of more than three million US dollars.

In total, Li Weidong received a total of more than 11 million U.S. dollars in deposits this time.

In addition, other exhibitors sold nearly 300,000 units of air fryers, and Southeast Company will also receive nearly 3 million US dollars in patent fees.

After the Canton Fair, Li Weidong did not stay much longer, but returned directly to Qinghe.

In the electric furnace factory, Ma Zhongyi has already made preparations for production.

"Weidong, there will be no problem with production next month, but next month, it will be the same as last year. When the time comes to harvest the wheat, our production will definitely be affected. So I think we have to use last year's

That method is to divide this batch of orders into several parts, release them in batches, and let the workers rush to make them, so that they will not be willing to go home to cut the wheat." Ma Zhongyi said.

Li Weidong shook his head: "Brother Ma, it doesn't matter. I think we can have a holiday in June this year and let the workers go home to cut wheat! After all, food is the first necessity for the people. Our workers are all farmers, and many of them live in their families.

We’re counting on a bumper wheat harvest this time!”

"What? Go back to harvest wheat during the holidays?" Ma Zhongyi didn't react for a while, but he continued: "What about the production in the factory? Just for the toaster, we received 400,000 units, and there are another 40,000 units.

Air fryer. With more than 200 workers, production may not be completed until next year!"

"So, I plan to wait for a while, build two more factories, and then recruit more workers." Li Weidong said.

"Building factories and recruiting workers are things that cannot be completed in a short while. This distant water cannot quench the near thirst!" Ma Zhongyi advised.

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I have my own plan and I will definitely deliver the goods in time!" Li Weidong said.

At this moment, Wang Kaiping knocked on the door and walked in. After seeing Li Weidong, he said: "The director, Guo Yunyuan, the manager of the Municipal High Temperature Component Factory, came and said he wanted to talk about the supply of heating rods. I listened to his words

What I mean here is that I want to increase the price!”

"Increase the price?" Li Weidong chuckled: "I just got the order from the Canton Fair, and this high-temperature component factory has come to increase the price? It's interesting, let's go, let's go to Guo Yunyuan!"

…

Qinghe High Temperature Component Factory used to be a military enterprise, but turned into a civilian enterprise after the reform and opening up. They mainly produce various high-temperature components. The heating rods used in the electric furnace factory are purchased from the high-temperature component factory.

The electric furnace factory is also an old customer of the high-temperature component factory. Before the electric furnace factory was burned down, the electric furnaces it produced heated up quickly because they purchased heating wires and heating rods from the high-temperature component factory. Later, the air fryer produced by Li Weidong also

Purchase heating rods from the high-temperature component factory. The toaster that will be produced by the electric furnace factory also needs to purchase heating rods from the high-temperature component factory.

Guo Yunyuan is the manager of a high-temperature component factory and has met Li Weidong several times. The two are acquaintances.

At this time, Guo Yunyuan was sitting in the reception room, drinking tea with his legs crossed, looking carefree.

"Ouch, what brought Manager Guo here!" Li Weidong's voice sounded from outside the door, and Li Weidong walked in with Wang Kaiping and Ma Zhongyi.

"Director Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you have made a fortune again!" Guo Yunyuan stood up.

"How can I make a fortune? I just have to make ends meet." Li Weidong said.

"Director Li, don't fool me. I heard that you signed a big order of more than 20 million US dollars at the Canton Fair! Just one type of toaster sold 400,000 units!" Guo Yunyuan said with a smile.

.

Li Weidong deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "Manager Guo, how did you know?"

"The news has spread in the city for a long time. It is a great achievement to earn more than 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange from exports. Director Su from the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau came to our factory to supply you, so he called our factory specifically.

We are required to fully cooperate with your factory's production and complete this foreign trade order with guaranteed quality and quantity!" Guo Yunyuan answered.

Li Weidong nodded. This kind of thing must not be hidden. At least the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau will regard this matter as a political achievement and report it to the city, and the city will definitely publicize it and will definitely make it happen.

Everyone knows.

I saw Guo Yunyuan continue to say; "Director Li, since the leaders of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau have personally given instructions, I dare not neglect it and come over personally to see what your electric furnace factory needs. Our high-temperature component factory will definitely

Full cooperation!”

"Thank you very much, Manager Guo. With the high-temperature component factory, we will be even more powerful, and we will definitely be able to complete this batch of foreign trade orders with quality and quantity." Li Weidong showed a grateful posture.

Guo Yunyuan said: "Director Li, I heard that this time, you received a lot of orders, a total of 400,000 toast ovens. Then our factory also needs to prepare corresponding heating rods, right?

If a toaster uses six heating rods, wouldn't we have to prepare a price list for 2.4 million heating rods? This is really a big deal! It's just that for such a big deal, our high-temperature component factory,

Maybe I can’t swallow it!”

"What did Manager Guo say? I still know something about the production capacity of your factory. You can't produce more than two million heating rods?" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"More than two million heating rods can be produced, but it will take some time. I'm worried that if the production time is too long, it will affect your shipments to foreign businessmen, and won't it affect the country's export and foreign exchange earning tasks?

"

Guo Yunyuan paused and then said, "Of course, our factory has also specially formulated a solution, which is to suspend other business and make every effort to produce heating rods for your factory. In this way, we should be able to complete two hundred and fourteen tasks in a short period of time."

The production task of 10,000 heating rods will not delay your export earnings."

"Then there will be more Manager Guo. I'll treat Manager Guo to a drink later." Li Weidong said calmly.

Guo Yunyuan sighed and continued: "Director Li, if we go all out to produce heating rods, it will inevitably affect other businesses in the factory and cause certain losses to our factory. So I think the heating rods will also have to rise.

The price has been increased so that we won’t lose money!”

Li Weidong looked at Guo Yunyuan with a deep smile and said to himself: "Here comes the one who raises the price by sitting on the ground!"
