Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 217 Resolutely curb unhealthy trends (11 arrears)

Li Weidong is somewhat familiar with the situation in the high-temperature component factory.

As a military-to-civilian enterprise, the technology and scale of the high-temperature component factory are very good, and the quality of the workers is also first-class. With the production capacity of the high-temperature component factory, it will not affect the overall production of more than two million heating rods.

Production.

Obviously, Guo Yunyuan knew that Li Weidong had won a large foreign trade order and planned to raise the price.

"It's really rare that a state-owned enterprise like the High Temperature Component Factory, which has been converted from military industry to civilian use, still has people who know how to raise prices on the ground! This Guo Yunyuan has adapted to the market economy very quickly!" Li Weidong looked at Guo Yunyuan with admiration.

Before commodity prices broke through the barrier, prices in many industries were still managed by the state, especially state-owned enterprises. It was impossible to sell goods at higher prices, so naturally there was no way to raise prices from the ground.

After the state liberalized the pricing power of raw materials and industrial products, although prices began to skyrocket, most state-owned enterprises still did not have the pricing awareness of a market economy, and their thinking was still rigid in the era of planned economy.

The Guo Yunyuan in front of him, who is in his forties, must have grown up in the planned economy era, but now he knows how to raise prices on the ground, which instantly made Li Weidong look high.

So Li Weidong said: "Manager Guo, other manufacturers always order more, the cheaper the price, but you are good, the more the order, the more expensive the price!"

"It's not just to supply you with goods in time. After all, your electric furnace factory is undertaking export orders to earn foreign exchange. You must not delay it! For this reason, the workers in our factory can work overtime for production." Guo Yunyuan said.

"Manager Guo, you have also seen that our electric furnace factory is only of such a small scale, with more than 200 workers. Even if it is fully produced for fourteen hours a day, the output will only be that much. If you supply goods at the normal speed

, can completely meet the production requirements of our factory. So you don’t have to work overtime hard, just produce normally." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"If production and delivery are normal, why should I raise the price?" Guo Yunyuan thought to himself. After thinking for three seconds, he immediately thought of another excuse.

"Director Li, the truth is, our factory has a batch of very important production tasks to be completed next month. By then, there will be no spare capacity to produce heating rods for you, so our factory can only send you in advance.

The production of the required heating rods will inevitably affect other businesses in the factory, and if workers work overtime, additional expenses will be incurred," Guo Yunyuan said.

Li Weidong smiled slightly. He knew that Guo Yunyuan had many excuses to raise the price, so Li Weidong stopped worrying about the reasons for the price increase and asked directly: "Manager Guo, in this case, how much do you plan to increase the price?"

"Not much!" Guo Yunyuan stretched out a finger and said: "For one heating rod, we will increase the price by one dollar!"

"One dollar per bar has increased, isn't that much?" Ma Zhongyi next to him couldn't help shouting.

A toaster requires six heating rods, which increases the cost by six dollars. According to the exchange rate at that time, converted into US dollars, it was equivalent to US$1.2.

A toaster only sells for 40 US dollars, which suddenly increases the cost by 1.2 US dollars, which is 3% of the selling price. For labor-intensive industries, a 3% cost increase is unacceptable.

Li Weidong waved his hand to stop Ma Zhongyi, and then he said: "Manager Guo, the price of a heating rod will increase by one yuan. This increase is too high, and our factory may not be able to bear it!"

"Director Li, your factory received an order of more than 20 million US dollars at the Canton Fair, right? If converted into RMB, it is 100 million without rounding. Do you still care that this heating rod only costs a dollar? You eat meat.

, you have to give parts suppliers like us a drink!" Guo Yunyuan said.

"Manager Guo, this production requires costs. My order of more than 20 million US dollars costs more than 20 million US dollars. After deducting the costs, our factory can really make money. There is not much money at all. Your high-temperature component factory

I am also engaged in production, so I must understand this." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, for the sake of Director Li, I'll give you a 10% discount, and a heating rod will cost 90 cents more." Guo Yunyuan said and looked at Li Weidong, as if waiting for Li Weidong to counter-offer.

However, Li Weidong knew that if this kind of thing of sitting on the ground and raising prices was left unchecked, then if there was one there would be two, and if there were two there would be three, so he must not get used to it.

If every time you receive a large order, the parts supplier will raise the price, then any money you make will be used to subsidize the upstream suppliers.

What's more, there is more than one high-temperature component supplier for parts suppliers. If Li Weidong agrees to the price increase request of the high-temperature component factory, and other parts suppliers also come to ask for price increases, should Li Weidong agree to all of them? If all parts suppliers

If the price goes up by a few dollars, wouldn't Li Weidong have to make a loss and be bought and sold?

This unhealthy trend of raising prices on the ground must be resolutely curbed!

So Li Weidong shook his head: "Manager Guo, I'm very sorry, I can't accept this price."

Guo Yunyuan let out a long sigh and asked: "Director Li, what price are you willing to accept? You might as well tell us and we can discuss it."

"I won't buy it at the original price, even if it goes up by a penny." Li Weidong shook his head firmly.

"Director Li, what do you mean? I came to you to discuss this with good intentions, but is this your attitude?" Guo Yunyuan's face became serious.

"Manager Guo, when we do business, it's all about your own will. If you want to increase the price, I have no objection. How much you want to increase the price is also your own business. But whether you want to buy it or not, the decision-making power is still in my hands.

!I think the things are too expensive and I don’t want to buy them. You can’t force them to buy or sell them!” Li Weidong replied.

"Director Li, you have to think clearly. Your factory is currently receiving foreign trade orders. Four hundred thousand toasters are waiting for delivery! If there are no heating rods, what will you use to produce toasters? What will you use?

Going to deliver goods to foreign businessmen? Not only will you not make any money at that time, it will also affect the country's export earnings!" Guo Yunyuan said.

Guo Yunyuan dared to propose a price increase precisely because he was interested in earning foreign exchange through exports.

Earning foreign exchange through export is not only a production task, but also a political task. It must be completed on time and with high quality and quantity. Guo Yunyuan feels that Li Weidong can completely handle the matter of earning foreign exchange through export. In order to complete the production task of earning foreign exchange through export, Li Weidong will definitely accept it.

Price increase of heating rods.

If Li Weidong is unwilling to accept the price increase, then the high-temperature component factory will not supply the electric furnace factory. If there is a problem with the toaster order and the foreign merchant cannot be shipped on time, the superiors will definitely blame Li Weidong, and Li Weidong will take responsibility.

, couldn’t eat and walked around.

Therefore, Guo Yunyuan is confident, he is sure to defeat Li Weidong!

However, Li Weidong was very stubborn. He shook his head again: "Whether our factory can complete foreign trade orders is not up to Manager Guo to worry about."

"Director Li, let me remind you again that earning more than 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange from exports is a big deal. If something goes wrong, you are the first responsible person and must bear the corresponding responsibility!" Guo Yunyuan advised again.

"Thank you, Manager Guo, for reminding me. I have been doing foreign trade orders for two or three years, so I still understand this." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Did Li Weidong contact other suppliers? Or did he deliberately bluff me?" Guo Yunyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Li Weidong, and countless possibilities arose in his mind.

Li Weidong had a calm look on his face. Naturally, it was impossible for a shopping mall veteran like him to reveal any useful information from his expression.

"Forget it, I'll let you go for a few days to see what cards you have!"

Thinking of this, Guo Yunyuan said: "Director Li, it seems that the difference between the two of us on the price is still relatively large. In this case, I will leave first. Of course, if Director Li feels that our quotation is acceptable, we will

Director Li is welcome to place orders at any time!”

"Okay, then I'll send it to Manager Guo." Li Weidong continued; "Manager Guo, if one day there is a discount on the price of your factory's products, you must call me as soon as possible! In a small factory like ours, the technology

Even though I have a poor family background, I like to buy discounted products!”

…

Li Weidong personally sent Guo Yunyuan to the gate.

Watching Guo Yunyuan's car gradually go away, Wang Kaiping said: "Director, you rejected Guo Yunyuan, you must have found a new supplier, right?"

Li Weidong shook his head: "How can there be a new supplier? To be honest, the quality of the products of this high-temperature component factory is still very good. At least in the area near Qinghe City, there is no one more suitable than the high-temperature component factory.

Supplier. If you order from other places, the freight will be a large additional expense!”

"Then you plan to dry Guo Yunyuan first?" Wang Kaiping lowered his voice and continued: "But what about our order? If there is no heating rod, how should we produce it?"

"With 400,000 units of toasters and no production capacity, it will take more than 250 workers like us to complete it in a year and a month?" Li Weidong pointed to the electric furnace factory behind him, and then said: "I am going to build another one.

We will build some factories and then recruit workers to double our production capacity! Brother Wang, you are also a shareholder of the company, so please don’t hold any objections!"

"I have no objection to expanding production capacity, and there is no problem in recruiting workers, but building a house takes time, and training workers also takes time. How can we have so much time now!" Wang Kaiping also raised the same question as Ma Zhongyi.

"Brother Wang, don't worry. I'm really not in a hurry to produce this year's orders. Even if they are produced, they may not be able to be sold!" Li Weidong replied.

"Can't sell? The contract has been signed and the deposit has been paid. Why can't it be sold? Do foreigners still want to regret it? They don't want the deposit anymore?" Wang Kaiping asked.

"Well, haha, let me give it a try first, and then you will know." Li Weidong laughed enigmatically.

The first chapter was delivered. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish three chapters today, but I didn't expect that I still finished it. If you have a monthly ticket, vote for it! Thank you for passing!
