As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, all factories start to get busy.
The production of Mihu Electronics Factory has always been operating at full capacity, but even so, the queues of trucks coming to pull goods are still long distances away.
MiKe Walkman, MiKe eye protection lamp, etc. These trendy products are in short supply. In some places, orders have even been delayed for three months.
Cheng Zhenyuan was sitting in Shen Lin's office, looking at Shen Lin seriously.
"Director Shen, we must contract an additional factory now to be able to supply the needs of all parties."
"Our current orders are still increasing exponentially. Especially in some remote markets, dealers who want to obtain agency rights are beginning to appear."
As the general manager of Mihu Electronics who focuses on production, Cheng Zhenyuan has truly felt the pressure on Mihu's production due to the surge in orders.
The situation he is facing now is that he is asking for goods from everywhere. But under such circumstances, Director Shen has not yet come up with a contracting plan.
He was confident that as long as the factory was contracted, he would be able to reorganize the entire factory within a week and put it into production quickly.
After Shen Lin heard Cheng Zhenyuan finish what he said, he said: "Mr. Cheng, I know everything you said."
"But adding factories is not an easy task."
"We not only have to consider increasing the production capacity of the factory, but also consider follow-up issues."
When Shen Lin said this, he picked up his tea cup and took a sip of water and said: "What we have to consider is whether we will still need so much of the same production capacity when similar products increase in the future."
Cheng Zhenyuan looked at Shen Lin with a solemn expression and said softly: "Dr. Shen, then we won't take on more contracts?"
"Of course we have to contract." Shen Lin stood up from his seat and said, "It's just that we first determine how much additional production capacity can be used. It can't be expanded too much, and it can't be expanded too little. Just enough is enough!"
Speaking of this, Shen Lin said: "If the requirements above are too strict, you can contract the bicycle factory!"
Bicycle factory?
This time it was Cheng Zhenyuan's turn to be surprised. He originally thought that if Shen Lin wanted to contract, it should be a few factories similar to mechanical processing.
These factories can get started quickly, but what is the situation of bicycle factories?
Regarding Shen Lin's decision, although Cheng Zhenyuan implemented it to the letter most of the time, there were times when he still had to ask questions clearly in his heart.
"Director Shen, I have also inspected this bicycle factory. The products produced by the bicycle factory no longer have a big market."
"And their work is relatively monotonous. If they are used to use our current machines, it is not very suitable."
Speaking of this, Cheng Zhenyuan said: "Compared with several factories such as bearing processing factories and steel rolling mills, the bicycle factory does not have many advantages."
Shen Lin looked at Cheng Zhenyuan with a serious face and felt very pleased.
As a helmsman, Shen Lin does not need everyone to nod in favor of him. He needs to have doubts. What does this mean? It means that everyone is considering the interests of the factory director and not blindly. Please.
Shen Lin smiled and said to Cheng Zhenyuan: "Mr. Cheng, I didn't say that the bicycle factory should be involved in our current production."
"What the bicycle factory has to do is to produce the new products we are going to launch next."
Cheng Zhenyuan was stunned. In Cheng Zhenyuan's opinion, all the new products that should appear at MiKe's spring product launch conference have already been released.
At this time, what new products do bicycle factories need to produce?
"Director Shen, what new product is this?"
Shen Lin looked at Cheng Zhenyuan and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, how long has it been since you rode a bicycle?"
"It's been several months." Cheng Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Shen Lin had a sudden idea and asked such a question.
After hesitating for a moment, he said honestly.
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng, if you don't ride a bicycle, do you think this bike is a bit too tiring?"
Cheng Zhenyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say no, but after thinking about it carefully, what Shen Lin said made some sense.
"It's true." Cheng Zhenyuan suddenly said: "Director Shen, don't you want to produce bicycles?"
"Yes, our next new product is a bicycle, but what we want to produce is an electric bicycle." As Shen Lin spoke, he picked up the Mi Ke Walkman on the table and said, "Our Walkman has now reached It has a charging effect.”
"This technology can also be applied to bicycles."
Combine the battery with the bicycle and use electricity to propel the bicycle. Cheng Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Director Shen, I think this idea you proposed is quite good."
"But with motorcycles, our electric bicycles don't seem to have many advantages. After all, electric bicycles and motorcycles have some overlap."
Shen Lin looked at the serious Cheng Zhenyuan, waved his hand gently and said: "They are very different."
"Motorcycles are a bit too cumbersome to ride, but our electric bicycles have no other operating points except the switch."
"The most important thing is that its speed is more than 30 kilometers per hour at most, making it suitable for customers of all ages."
In one breath, Shen Lin explained the benefits of electric vehicles in his future life.
Listening to the usefulness of electric bicycles, Cheng Zhenyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that this electric bicycle was very competitive.
More importantly, this electric bicycle seems to have a huge market just like bicycles, and correspondingly, there are currently no other competitors in this market.
"Then I'll go talk to the bicycle factory."
Shen Lin nodded and said: "Mr. Cheng, the bicycle factory must be captured. As for other situations, you still have to worry more."
"I'm going to a trade fair soon, and I'll leave the family matters to you."
To be honest, Cheng Zhenyuan really didn't want Shen Lin to leave. After all, there were too many things going on in the factory now.
"Director Shen, although the trade fair is very important, I think it is enough to let Xiaoshan pass. You should stay in charge here in Dongzhou."
"After all, we have quite a lot going on right now."
"I am now, firstly, because I promised Director Li that it would not look good if I didn't go; in addition, this year's trade fair is also very important to us."
Having said this, Shen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Some time ago, I asked Liang Jialuo to arrange something that I also need to keep an eye on."
"This is very important to open up the export channels for our refrigerators."
Cheng Zhenyuan looked at Shen Lin who looked solemn and knew that his further persuasion was of no use. He pondered for a moment and said: "Director Shen, please give it another thought about our expansion of production capacity."
"If you win any big orders for export, our production will be even more stretched."
Shen Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I will consider this matter."
"I think the focus we need to consider is the companies in the rice shell supply chain. Let's see if they can think of more solutions."
"As for our own factory, although we need to expand, we must be cautious and think twice before we act."
