Su Yehao's expression was stunned, and he asked in confusion: "What are you doing, leaving without even talking?"
Representatives from the two ceramic tile factories were also stunned.
They looked at each other with a little embarrassment on their faces.
One of them, a square-faced man in his thirties, said:
"I think they haven't reached an agreement. Even the people from the Maoshan Lake Group have left, thinking that the young boss is not interested in our industry... Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Zhihua, from Fochuan Ajilina Ceramic Tile Factory, and my position is
General manager."
Another fat man with a round face, not to be outdone, extended his hand politely: "I am Mao Fang, the sales manager of Fochuan Haoran Ceramic Tile Factory. My friends call me Amao."
He reached out and shook it.
Su Yehao continued to sit down, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, with a smile on his lips: "I really don't understand clothing factories and feed factories, but when it comes to real estate, this is mine... my family's old business, we deal with them often.
Ceramic tiles are building materials, and they are related to real estate. Once done, they will become a hugely profitable industry, including cement, hardware, bathroom ware, etc. In fact, I am quite optimistic about it. You two are both in Fochuan, do you know each other?"
Wu Zhihua, a square-faced man, sat upright and replied:
"Our Agelina Tile Factory is across the street from their Haoran factory, and we usually have some contact with each other, but our company's raw materials, kiln glazing, and quality inspection work are better than theirs."
Upon hearing this.
Mao Fang from Haoran Ceramic Tile Factory immediately became anxious.
They say it's better to slap someone in the face than to slap him in the face. This slap in the face is not light.
Mao Fang almost jumped up and said hurriedly: "Our factory is doing well, and we have also bought new formulas from other companies. Now we just have to introduce an assembly line to make it bigger and stronger! You Agelina are almost bankrupt, why are you here to join in the fun?
?”
Colleagues are enemies.
Wu Zhihua's character was clear-cut, and he continued in a serious manner: "You have low prices, and you also like to steal customers maliciously. When it comes to product quality, what can you do to fight with us? The problem with funds is because we are conscientious and spend money to compensate old employees who have been injured at work.
In the early years, safety measures were not in place, I admit that, but the quality of our Agelina products is definitely better, with 35 years of quality, it can stand the test."
Su Yehao held the teacup and watched the fun happily.
I wish the two sides could continue to expose each other's shortcomings and even skip background checks.
Mao Fang, the manager of Haoran Ceramic Tile Factory, was so angry that his face turned slightly red. Originally, his company saw the Xinlian Morning Post and decided to send him here to look for opportunities. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked, which led to the company trying to expand in Hong Kong City.
Wu Zhihua from the business also came.
These days, any company with a little bit of strength wants to earn foreign exchange.
Currencies other than RMB are generally called foreign exchange. There is nothing wrong with it. Doing business outside is more profitable. Once you become famous locally, it will be easier to sell to Europe and the United States, so they came in such a timely manner.
Although Mao Fang was angry, he roughly understood Wu Zhihua's character and did not quarrel again.
He just hurriedly explained to Su Yehao: "Little boss, the quality of our Haoran products is well-known, scratch-resistant and durable, high-quality and low-priced, and highly competitive!"
"You get what you pay for, I understand."
Su Yehao nodded, acting as a peacemaker, and then smiled: "Manager Wu, what are you talking about about workers' compensation?"
"...In the early years, we didn't pay much attention to production safety. The ceramic tile factory was dusty and prone to lung and respiratory problems. Our Agelina factory is an old one, so a friend and I jointly contracted it, although logically we shouldn't
No matter what, we are still willing to pay for compensation, so the money we owe to the bank cannot be repaid in time, and it is difficult to get a loan again."
Wu Zhihua has a straightforward temperament, is not stupid in mind, and knows how to boast about himself.
Su Yehao finished listening.
He immediately guessed what was going on, suddenly realized, and asked: "The compensation issue has been completely resolved, right? Are there any hidden dangers in the production process now? I will never do the business of exchanging blood bars for production."
Manager Wu smiled and said: "The production technology has been updated. I can't say that it is 100% problem-free, but I strive to do my best."
Wait for Su Yehao to look at Mao Fang of Haoran Ceramic Tile Factory.
Mao Fang immediately replied: "Our process has also been improved, there is absolutely no problem! The boss can send people to inspect, the links that are prone to pneumoconiosis are now automated machines!"
Doubtful about this.
Leaving aside the hidden dangers in production for the time being, looking at the market prospects of the ceramic tile industry alone, Su Yehao feels that it is still very promising.
Besides.
As long as the investment keeps up, it is not too difficult to transform the assembly line process and strengthen safety supervision.
I have dealt with people who have a straightforward personality similar to Wu Zhihua's.
Maybe this kind of people are not easy to get along with, but they are definitely good at safety, honest and conscientious businessmen, which can always make people like them more.
Although Su Yehao didn't fully believe it, if he really decided to invest, he would definitely not rely on one side of the story. He would find ways to make clear investigations and make secret interviews. How could he avoid hidden traps before investing.
Carefully review the information prepared by the two companies.
Locally, they are all in the middle and upper reaches and have some strength.
Agelina Tile Factory's total turnover last year barely reached 7 million yuan.
Haoran Ceramic Tile Factory not only has its own brand, but also provides OEM processing and production. Last year, its turnover was 15 million yuan.
The former's gross profit margin is as high as about 35%, and the latter's gross profit margin is also about 27%. Looking at the net profit margin, Haoran Tile Factory actually surpasses Agelina Tile Factory, which produces and sells itself and develops its brand.
Su Yehao just glanced at these information.
His good impression of this industry stems from his previous work experience, and he felt that if he did well, he would have the opportunity to make money.
As for the current performance of the two companies, it can only be used to evaluate their fundamentals. In fact, it does not make much sense. Process technology, sales channels, and management level are what Su Yehao really cares about.
Through small talk, get a preliminary understanding of the situation.
More than twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye before Su Yehao asked: "If you two get an investment, what will you use it for?"
Wu Zhihua didn't even think about it and replied: "Advertise, attract franchisees, and expand production!"
Mao Fang of Haoran Ceramic Tile Factory is like a machine without emotion, because when he speaks, the three key points are summarized succinctly by Wu Zhihua.
This question has to be answered.
Mao Fang thought for a while and then said: "Advertise internally to expand sales, and externally we can also think of ways to sell overseas. Major international brands have already approached our company and hope that we can process it for them."
Hearing this, Wu Zhihua was obviously a little surprised and looked at Mao Fang.
Su Yehao thought of a lot at the moment, but didn't say anything more. He stood up and said, "Okay, I already understand your situation. I need some time to think about it. If I send someone to investigate, I will inform you separately at that time."
The representatives from the two ceramic tile factories were polite and left one after another.
Master Jiang remained silent the whole time and drank a lot of water. Only then did he tentatively ask: "Master Su, are you very optimistic about the real estate market in the mainland?"
"Of course, the houses in the north used to be divided among the public, but now they are not so divided. The future will be a market economy. When people make money, they want to change their houses and decorate them. The future of this industry is pretty good, what do you think?" Su Yehao asked.
Master Jiang smiled and said:
"I don't know about anything else, but the big building materials dealers I've come into contact with in Hong Kong City are all extremely rich, and their profits are much higher than those in engineering. Once customs clearance becomes easier, maybe some people will go to Zhucheng to buy a house and live in it, and then come to the casino for work.
, after all, there are only a few such people, and I can’t tell for the time being. Anyway, when I retire, I want to go to the mainland to find a place with beautiful scenery and buy a big villa with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there is no pressure.”
Hear the meaning of support.
Su Yehao was in a good mood, half joking and half serious, and said to Master Jiang: "When you become my father-in-law, I will give you a set."
Master Jiang's smile was still so harmless, and he asked: "A big villa with a yard?"
"It is necessary to honor my old father-in-law. How can I slack off? I should be rich by then. Not to mention the yard, I can even encircle a lake or raise fish..."
