Fuyuan City Electric Bicycle Factory was originally a small hardware factory. The owner, Xue Liangdong, was born in the hardware processing industry. He quit his job to start a business and founded this small factory with less than 50 workers.
More than ten years ago, when he saw the country's vigorous promotion of clean energy and the increasing number of electric vehicles on the streets, he felt this was an opportunity, so he resolutely transformed, invested his capital to renovate the factory, and launched the "Blackbird" brand electric bicycle.
Very popular with surrounding counties and cities.
It's a pity that Xue Liangdong's cultural level is not high, and he has a deep-rooted mentality of settling for a small fortune. After he succeeds, he does not want to become bigger and stronger and improve the competitiveness of his products. He still maintains a small or medium-sized factory and is content with surrounding counties.
In the market, other competitors have entered the market, and Blackbird electric bicycles are no longer enough.
The market was being eroded, and the factory's operating conditions were deteriorating. It soon reached a situation where inventory was squeezed and capital turnover was ineffective.
He had no choice but to follow the trend and make whatever was lacking in the market, follow the trend of what could be sold, make OEM products for others, copy other people's products, and barely survive.
The turning point came more than a week ago, when someone suddenly came out and offered to invest. The amount offered was a huge blow to him. The other person did not ask for control of the factory, but wanted to upgrade the factory.
This kind of good thing is like pie in the sky, only a fool would refuse it.
Huge amounts of money were inexplicably injected into this ordinary little factory. The old factory building was pushed down and the new one was erected in less than three days.
A large number of modern machines and equipment came in, and many units and technical experts with dizzying backgrounds transformed his small factory into an intelligent, fully automatic workshop. His workers only need to send raw materials to the conveyor belt, and what comes out is a hat with novel styles.
,Reliable quality motorcycle helmet.
Ah, by the way, the other party is only interested in motorcycle helmets and disdains other production lines.
Xue Liangdong was both happy and worried about this.
Fortunately, the factory has come back to life. With funds, technology, and the help of these strong people, it is no worse than the famous brand products on the market.
What worries him is sales. The product has been produced, but how to bring it to the market really makes him worry. His own brand is not good, and such good production technology and quality are in vain. These days, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the alley.
That day, he was looking at the helmets coming off the assembly line, thinking about how to open up sales, when a phone call came, which made him happy.
"Really, does the customer really want to order 10,000 units?"
"Director, he is still sitting in our sales department."
"Take good care of your customers, I'll be right over!"
Xue Liangdong left the workshop and ran to the office building. On the way, he remembered his partner and made a quick call.
"Uh... I understand. You can accept it, and I won't show up."
When Xue Liangdong heard this, he became anxious and asked for ten thousand. He might be a big customer and there might be orders later. Wouldn't this open up the market? How could he not pay attention to it?
But there is an obvious difference between him. This partner who has invested a lot of money and has a good eye for everything is not that he doesn't pay attention to it, but that he pays too much attention to it.
"Old Xue, meet all the other party's requirements and must negotiate this deal. It's not convenient for me to come forward. Remember, the deal must be concluded!"
Isn't this nonsense?
Xue Liangdong hung up the phone, unaware of his partner's weirdness, and hurried to the office building, where he met the big customer in the sales department.
He was stunned as soon as they met each other, but after that, he greeted him enthusiastically, holding the other person's hand with a smile on his face, welcome, welcome...
"Boss Xue, we meet again!" the other party said with a smile.
Xue Liangdong was stunned for another moment, and then he slapped his forehead in realization, "Look at my memory, it turns out to be brother Wu. How is it? Are you satisfied with the last batch of goods?"
“If you’re not satisfied, you won’t come back.”
"Haha... Okay, okay, Brother Wu, you don't know, we are now changing from a shotgun to a new one. The products have been updated, and the quality and style are nothing to say. Look at our samples."
"I have seen the samples and they are very good. Boss Xue, I would like to visit your workshop, can I?"
"Yes, yes, I wish I could."
If he had not agreed to this so happily before, now... hum, there is no one with more technical content than ours in the city.
When we arrived at the workshop, it was as expected.
"Brother Wu, look, this is the feeding port, this is the injection molding compressor, one-piece molding, this is the control computer, our programmers are all poached from big coastal factories with high salaries, they are intelligent and automated..."
Bei Gaoyang watched the robotic arms at each station working in a pleasing rhythm. The parts and semi-finished products on the assembly line were assembled together in an orderly manner, and nodded with satisfaction.
Xue Liangdong picked up a helmet that had just come off the assembly line and praised his product gushingly. He was talking eloquently into the alley. Bei Gaoyang interrupted him and said: "Boss Xue, I have another request."
"Brother Wu, you're welcome. Feel free to ask for anything."
"That's right. I need to engrave a special pattern on these helmets. I wonder if you can provide a machine like this?"
"Uh... is it customized?"
"That's right. I will take your helmet back for secondary processing. It's okay if the quantity is small, but the quantity is large, especially considering that it will be processed at the level of one hundred thousand or one million in the future... So... Haha, that's too much
Trouble."
"Hundreds, hundreds, millions!?"
Xue Liangdong almost bit his tongue, and was very angry for a moment. He suspected that the other party was bragging, but the doubtful thoughts disappeared without a trace as soon as they came up.
His mind was crushed by the million-level supply volume, so he hurriedly agreed not to say anything, and even called his business partner on the spot.
The equipment requested by the customer is not complicated. He cannot provide it, but his partner can. Look at this workshop and these equipment...
"Brother Wu, that's it. The equipment you requested is not complicated. I contacted a friend. How about laser printing?"
"Laser printing?" Bei Gaoyang looked at the mobile phone he was covering and said with a smile: "How to solve the problem of supporting energy?"
This is a strange question, energy, natural electricity, is it possible to burn coal?
"You can use a generator or a battery pack, but do you need to replenish oil and batteries regularly?"
"That's okay..." Bei Gaoyang said with a smile, "How much does a set of equipment like this cost?"
Xue Liangdong asked the person on the phone again, and then quoted a price that he thought was extremely low.
"Then please!" Bei Gaoyang was very satisfied, "Let's go sign the contract!"
Xue Liangdong was overjoyed. When he was thinking about the million-level supply contract, he bent down and followed the God of Wealth all the way, vowing to finalize the matter.
In the early stage, 10,000 helmets, a set of fully automatic, computer-controlled laser printing equipment, a contract amount of more than one million, and a 30% deposit arrived, and Xue Liangdong was relieved.
The prime minister entertained the God of Wealth well, but he was in a hurry to go to Yanjing, so he could only make an appointment for another time.
In the evening, Bei Gaoyang boarded a direct flight to Yanjing.
