This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

The popularity of handle-type helicopters naturally means that this type of toy is marketable. You can take advantage of this popularity to purchase a similar but inexpensive model.

Su Lin did not stay in the canteen for lunch, but went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative. "There are many children who want to buy toys. Some parents are willing to spend money to buy a toy for their children, but others are also unwilling to spend money." Yes, mainly because they can’t afford the price. In that case, why don’t we take advantage of this opportunity to buy a batch of cheap toys?”

One-fifth of the cost price, if it is really sold in supply and marketing cooperatives, it will only cost about 20 or 30 cents. If you think about it, many people are willing to spend 20 or 30 cents to get a child's smile.

Taking out the paper from the portfolio, Su Lin continued: "So, this time I plan to use 'bamboo' as the material to produce a bamboo dragonfly with strings."

The previous model is also a pull-string toy, and the reason for its high cost is the material.

The helicopters above are all made of iron sheets. Although the materials used are small, the cost goes up. If bamboo is used as the main material, a lot can be saved.

"This toy also uses the string pulling method. The principle is the same. Pull the string out, and the bamboo dragonfly on it will fly into the air, and the duration will be longer than that of a helicopter."

After Su Lin's introduction, Liu Wenfa and Liu Wenfa did not express their opinions immediately. Instead, they took the paper and read the contents first.

To be honest, the two of them were not too surprised the first moment they saw this.

Even after reading Su Lin's written report, the first sentence of the deputy director was concern, "If this low-priced toy is sold on the market, will it affect the high-priced toys of the same model?"

"Yes." Su Lin nodded, "If they have a choice, most people are willing to choose low-priced toys."

Especially toys of the same type.

There is such a big price difference between the two. Even if the expensive one looks more refined, only a small number of families will bite the bullet and buy the expensive one for their children. The vast majority will still choose cheap toys.

"Then why do you want to produce bamboo dragonflies? If bamboo dragonflies really hit the market, then... wait a minute." The deputy director frowned as he spoke.

I always feel that I have overlooked something, but I can't remember it for a while.

Liu Wenfa knocked on the table with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "What do you mean..."

Su Lin nodded: "In the near future, other toy factories will definitely produce similar toys. It may be a handle-type helicopter or a handle-type jumping frog. No matter what type they are, their cost is the same." It may go down. If a cheap toy of the same type appears at this time, what will parents choose? "

"Of course I choose the cheaper one!" The deputy director clapped his hands violently, that's all.

No matter how it is promoted in the market, low price is the most attractive factor.

The deputy director can already think that in a few months, no matter how many similar toys there are, the best-selling one in the end will definitely be their bamboo dragonfly.

From this point of view, they can make a hit during this period when there are no toys of the same type, and they can make a second hit at a low price in a few months.

Su Lin nodded: "So what I mean is that the handle helicopter can maintain the current production quantity. There is no need to increase production. You can focus more on this new toy."

"Your method is good, but..." Liu Wenfa paused for a moment, "How are you going to deal with the materials? You should know that we are a tin toy factory. We have no source of bamboo and no manufacturing production lines. If it is a long-term The business can add another production line, but obviously this is not a long-term business.”

The Bamboo Dragonfly toy obviously took advantage of the popularity to hit the market. As time goes by, the sales volume will not increase, and many will follow suit.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to start a new production line.

Even if the price of the production line for this process is not too expensive, it is not necessary.

"It can be outsourced." Su Lin took out a few more pieces of paper from the bag, handed it over and said, "The process of the bamboo dragonfly is simple and can be made by hand without a machine. We can completely outsource it and just pull back the parts and reassemble it. That’s it.”

If outsourcing, where can it be outsourced?

Naturally, they are various production brigades.

At this time, the production brigade cannot do work privately. In addition to some of the tasks assigned above, it is not possible to raise chickens and pigs privately. If there are more tasks, the entire production brigade will earn a lot more work points, and each household will earn more work points. The quality of life will also be greatly improved.

But in fact, most of them can only earn a living.

Including the production brigade where the Su family worked, the whole family worked hard all year round. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, they might not be able to save any money.

If the outsourcing thing can be done, the production team that receives the work will have an extra income, and they can earn a little bit.

"Outsourcing? Is this possible?"

Su Lin nodded, "I have investigated and the city also has plans for outsourcing, but just in case, the specific procedures still need to be run through."

Who runs?

Anyway, it's not him. If he comes up with a solution, the rest will depend on the wishes of the two factory directors.

Su Lin didn't say much more about what happened next. After leaving the factory director's office, he went to the R\u0026D department.

The R\u0026D department was housed in a smaller factory. When Su Lin entered, the factory was a little quiet. Everyone was sitting in their seats, holding pens and burying their heads in their hands, not knowing what to write.

He stretched out his hand to make some noise. After everyone looked over, he said, "How is it? How is it done? Is it time to hand in the paper?"

Zhang Yang and the other five frowned when they heard this.

Su Lin leaned on the table and said, "It has been more than a month since you came to the R\u0026D department. It is enough for you to adapt to this industry. I don't need you to make a perfect toy now, but at least give me an idea, a toy plan that you think is feasible."

This is the test question given to them when they entered the industry.

One month to adapt. If you really can't take on this position, then staying here is a waste of time and the meaning of this position.

If you can do it, it's good. If you really can't do it, it's better to give this position to someone who can do it.

Su Lin continued, "So who will start first?"

The factory was quiet for a few seconds. Zhang Yang stood up first, holding a piece of paper in his hands. Looking carefully, he found that his legs were still shaking, and he was obviously very nervous.

After swallowing his saliva, he trembled and said, "Brother Su, then I, then I will start first?"

"Okay, let's start." Su Lin nodded.

Zhang Yang walked to the center of the factory with his hands and feet together. When he was about to make a report, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Su, if we don't do it well, then do we have no chance to stay here?"

Su Lin didn't say anything, just nodded.

At this moment, not only Zhang Yang, but the other four people all turned pale.

In the past month in the R\u0026D department, they were as happy as they could be, especially when they went home with their wages, the surprise of their family members made them love the taste of work even more.

If they left, they didn't know where to go back, not to mention that their family members who had finally changed their minds about them would be even more disappointed.

Two "dong dong" sounds were the sound of fingers knocking on the table.

Zhang Yang came back to his senses and knew that it was Su Lin who reminded him to start the report. He quickly cleared his throat and continued with a trembling voice: "I...I have played all the toys originally produced in the factory during this period, and classified them according to my own preferences."

Yes, this is one of their work contents.

Playing games, you have to have fun.

According to Su Lin, if you can't even play with it yourself, how can you come up with more fun toys?

"Among them, my favorite is the spinning top. Not only can you play it alone, but you can also invite a few friends to compete together."

As he spoke, the tension in his heart could not help but ease a little, especially when he found that Brother Su did not mean to interrupt him and listened very seriously. For Zhang Yang, there was a sense of being recognized, so he stopped stuttering and spoke more smoothly. "When I was a child, if someone had a spinning top, it would definitely become the focus of the children. It was a very proud thing."

"The spinning top is a very common toy. There are too many on the market. What do you think is its outstanding selling point?" Su Lin asked.

Zhang Yang was nervous when he was asked, and he couldn't answer for a while.

He had thought about this question, and in this month he was thinking about how to come up with a selling point so that the spinning tops in their factory could be sold better.

He lowered his head and looked at the paper in his hand. In fact, he thought of several ways.

I thought it was feasible at first, but now I feel that the report I made is too bad, so bad that I feel ashamed to talk about it.

After a long silence, the sweat on Zhang Yang's face dripped onto the paper, but he still didn't know how to start.

Su Lin walked in front of him, took the paper from his hand, and whispered the words on it: "You can change the original shape of the spinning top and add elements that children like... This is good. The spinning tops on the market are all the same. If you change the appearance, you can distinguish them from other spinning tops, which is also a good selling point."

Su Lin's praise made Zhang Yang raise his head instantly, "Really, really good?"

Su Lin nodded. This is not a particularly good plan, but it is indeed a selling point.

There are only a few toys on the market. If you want to be the most outstanding one among them, you naturally have to think of some ways.

Changing the appearance is also one of the ways.

"Have you ever thought about how to change the appearance? Will the change affect the gyroscope itself? Will the cost increase? Will the audience..."

Su Lin asked several questions in a row, leaving Zhang Yang speechless.

At this moment, everyone in the factory knew that the R\u0026D department was not just about coming up with ideas, but also about considering all aspects of an idea, and that there were more areas involved than they had imagined.

Su Lin asked him to step back, "Think about these issues carefully and give me a specific plan within a week."

After that, he said to the others, "Who's next?"
