Chapter 517 One hundred thousand orders? No, one million!
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
A rare peace was restored in the courtyard.
Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu moved away.
The more Liu Haizhong thought about it afterwards, the more he became afraid. If the 90,000 yuan payment could not be repaid, there was a real possibility that he would be with Silly Zhu.
At this time, he finally knew that Liu Guangcai was the only one of his three sons who had grown up.
In order to allow Liu Guangtian and his family to come back often.
He tidied up the two houses built at the entrance.
He also cleaned up another room in the house and left it for Liu Guangtian.
In this way, even if Liu Guangtian and his wife bring their children back to live there, they will still be able to live there.
After calming down, Liu Haizhong knew that he was not the material to start a company and be the founder, so he stopped dreaming and started playing chess with Yan Bugui every day while holding a water cup.
Although the Jia family hated Liu Haizhong for leaving the construction company, it was reasonable and legal and there was nothing to say.
In addition, I wanted to pay off the debt owed by Bangge, so I stopped looking for trouble.
If there is no conflict between the Jia family and the Liu family, the courtyard will be much more harmonious.
Lin Zhen's factory is also under intensive preparation.
All the 800 workers in the first phase have been recruited, and some workers have already started working. The R&D Department and You Fengxia are providing early training to them.
These people will become the frontline management of the workshop after work officially starts.
The remaining workers are waiting at home for notification of work.
Production workshop No. 1 is under construction in full swing, and the first batch of glass raw materials purchased from a small southern town has also arrived.
All we have to do is wait for the workshop to be built before it can be put into production.
During this period, Lin Zhen also placed a large order for the Second Machinery Factory.
It is expected that by the end of next year, within nearly two years, the machinery factory will manufacture another glass tube production line equipment to facilitate expansion of production.
During this period, Lin Zhen’s third branch in Bacuilou also achieved profitability.
The fourth branch is already under preparation by Liu Yuhua, and it is expected that the fifth branch will be delayed for a while because there are not enough cooks.
To be able to truly guard an eight-story building, one must have at least the skill of Guan and his son.
Any lower than that, it will be a loss of your own brand.
During this period of time, MCA was already training apprentices, and Lin Zhen's apprentices had not yet started training, so they had to wait for the fifth branch.
Time has quickly arrived at the end of March in the lunar calendar.
More than a month later, Liu Guangtian led five construction teams to work overtime day and night, and finally exceeded the construction tasks assigned by Lin Zhen.
Not only has the No. 1 workshop for manufacturing vacuum glass tubes been built, but the No. 2 coating assembly workshop has also been completed and can be put into use.
In this way, after the glass tubes produced in the No. 1 workshop enter the No. 2 workshop for coating and assembly, a solar water heater can be offline.
In addition, the water supply control module of the solar water heater has also been mass-produced under the hard work of the R&D department.
It's just that it's not produced in a solar factory, but an order placed for a radio factory, which has it completely manufactured on its behalf.
It is more convenient for the only electronic accessories of the water heater to be produced by professional manufacturers.
It's not necessary to have all the accessories in hand and make them yourself. It would be a waste of time to build an electronics workshop.
Since Lin Zhen provides technical guidance, and the water control module has few functions, it only needs to realize automatic water supply and manual water supply, as well as actual water volume and temperature.
Therefore, the entire module is not large, only slightly larger than a blackboard eraser, and the cost is not high.
The purchase price of a set of accessories including the water control module, thermometer and water level gauge is 25 yuan.
Lin Zhen placed an order for 5,000 sets at one time.
Work officially started on this day, and the retired leader really came to visit with people.
The people who came with him were not only Director Yang from the steel rolling mill, but also Director Zhang from the Chunfeng Electric Machinery Factory, Director Qin from the Radio Director, as well as several leaders from metallurgy, light industry, and foreign trade.
Although the entire factory has not yet been completely built, only two production workshops, as well as a simple warehouse, canteen and R&D department have been built.
But the workers are very motivated, and every one of them has the confidence to become a world-class factory.
This spirit made the big leader very happy.
Lin Zhen and the Lin family took the leaders to visit two workshops and experience the convenience of solar water heaters.
The leader opened the faucet, felt the temperature of the hot water, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really convenient. This product will definitely sell well. I heard that more than 200 units have been ordered in Xiangjiang this time, with a total amount of ten
Wan’s order?”
Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, when my mother-in-law returned to Xiangjiang a few days ago, she took away a prototype. The trading company in Xiangjiang has full agency for the entire Nanyang market. After analyzing the value of the product, they have expanded the order.
It has increased ten times, and now it is 2,500 units, totaling one million US dollars."
"What? One million?" the big leader said happily: "Is it so popular?"
Lin Zhen said: "One million U.S. dollars sounds like a lot, but it only requires 2,500 water heaters, which can be installed in more than 2,000 households. This can be regarded as a test of the water. My main battlefield is abroad, but there is no need for water heaters in Nanyang."
The demand is not huge, after all, the climate there is warm and close to the tropics, and the main market is still in the temperate zone."
The big leader nodded and said: "According to this, future orders will definitely grow explosively, and you may be able to supply the goods."
Lin Zhen said: "All I need to do is expand production. I have no shortage of manpower and funds. As long as raw materials and semi-finished products can be supplied, the production speed can keep up."
The foreign trade leader immediately asked: "What are your raw materials and semi-finished products and accessories?"
Lin Zhen said: "The raw material is one, which is various raw material ores for making vacuum glass tubes. It is now transported here from a small town in the south. As long as the transportation team does not have any problems, the chain will not be lost."
"We will apply for a freight train for you. This train is specially designed to transport raw materials to you. You can rest assured that no matter how much you want to expand, we will guarantee you a sufficient supply of raw materials and give you the greatest advantage in terms of exports.
convenient."
Lin Zhen said: "Thank you for the leadership's support. In addition to raw materials, what is missing are semi-finished products, such as insulated water storage tanks for steel rolling mills, iron shelves, various types of screws and nuts, etc."
Factory Director Yang said: "There are large orders of millions of foreign exchange. The steel rolling mill will give priority to the production of these products. We are also developing the high-pressure water storage tank you proposed, and the finished product will be ready in the second half of the year. Lin Zhen, you can
Throw your hands away and get going."
Director Qin of the radio factory smiled and said: "The electronic water control module is already being produced as a priority. Don't worry, your inventory will definitely be more than enough."
Director Zhang of Chunfeng Motor Factory said: "The electric well motor was developed a few years ago, but it was not mass-produced. We can produce it whenever you want it!"
The leader of the light industry said: "Whether it is your solar water heater or other products in the future, we will give you the green light, just go ahead and do it!"
Lin Zhen said happily: "Thank you for your support from all leaders. I am confident that all 2,500 units will be exported by the end of the year!"
The big leader nodded with satisfaction. He brought these leaders here just to pave the way for Lin Zhen.
From then on, Lin Zhen was able to speed up production without any worries.
On the other side of Xiangjiang.
Lou Bancheng was explaining the working principle of solar water heaters to several trading partners.
Of course, the copywriting he talked about was written in advance by Lin Zhen.
Lou Bancheng explained to them because he wanted to sell solar water heaters in advance.
The trading company here in Xiangjiang is directly connected to the mainland, and its role is to connect the factories in the mainland and the Nanyang market.
Lou Bancheng found these people, who are all second-level agents in various regions.
"The ex-factory price is US$400. As a trading company, I don't make a penny. You can decide whatever price you want according to market demand. You don't have to worry about after-sales. Mainland manufacturers will come over for training and use after-sales services contracted by agents.
Method, I hope you will seize this opportunity. I will only sign a second-level agent in a region and will not charge you any franchise fees."
"Lou Gong, this product is indeed novel and has great market potential. We are willing to be an agent, but when can we deliver it?"
Lou Bancheng said: "Now the factories in the mainland have started formal production, and the first batch of goods will be delivered in one month."
"Then give me the first batch of goods. I'll pay the deposit immediately and test the waters in Xiangjiang first."
"I've reserved the second batch of goods. It's time for new goods to arrive in my store."
"The third batch of goods is mine. I don't know how many units I can get. Mr. Lou, it's time to urge the mainland to speed up production!"
Soon the entire Nanyang market was allocated. 2,500 units sounded like a lot, but one share for a dozen dealers was simply insignificant.
These are big, generous merchants who spent hundreds of thousands to test the waters and didn't take it seriously at all.
For them, promoting a new product is as simple as having morning tea.
What they care about is not whether they can sell it, but whether the mainland can supply it.
In this regard, Lou Bancheng guaranteed: "The mainland has given full support and given the green light all the way. Production will grow explosively. At the same time, markets in other regions of the world will gradually open up."
"By the way Mr. Lou, what is the price of this product in the mainland?"
"The prices in the mainland are cheaper than exports. This is the price set by my son-in-law himself. The entire product is independently developed by them. He has the power to let mainlanders enjoy low prices, but the factory will first focus on export orders. I guess it will always be
By the end of the year, the factory will not consider selling to the mainland."
Everyone nodded, "If this new product can sell well, then they really can't care about the mainland market. They are now anxious to earn foreign exchange!"
Lou Bancheng smiled and said: "If you think the export price is high, you can build your own factory to produce it. However, the core technology has already applied for an international patent. I heard from my son-in-law that the product he sells is small, and the authorized patent is the big one."
, if you use his technology, he can even send someone to guide you, hahaha..."
"Then... let's forget it. We are engaged in trade, not production. If we really want to build a factory, we will not only have to buy patents, but also machinery from the mainland, so it won't be worthwhile."
As soon as Lin Zhen brought the leaders to Bacuilou, the sales department called the Bacuilou office.
Lou Xiao'e came to Yajian and happily reported: "The million-dollar order has been distributed by the secondary agent in Nanyang, and the 10% deposit has been delivered to the trading company in Xiangjiang, and it will be transferred to the solar factory's company account tomorrow.
Xiangjiang is urging us to produce quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the foreign trade leader immediately made the decision: "Xiao Lin, the construction team in your factory is still a bit slow. When I go back, I will immediately apply to my superiors to send you a large construction team of 500 people. You only need to provide construction materials."
