Two thousand VCDs were all hauled away in a heavy truck. However, more than a dozen spare parts could not be packed in. Director Ling and the driver threw them into the cab. He also got on and followed the truck to the airport, preparing to go to Shanghai.
The moment they left the factory, many workers who were resting came to the factory gate. This truckload of goods can be said to be the hard work and hope of countless people, and it also carries a miracle that has never been seen in the past.
While domestic companies are still wondering about personnel and quality control in modern factories, ‘Shengguang’ completed the entire process of factory construction, reorganization, training, research and development, testing, mass production, and sales in just three months.
Among them, supply chain management is the most dazzling, like a magical skill.
Three months ago, Ling Xia never imagined that he would become the general manager of a large factory with 2,000 employees. At that time, he was a technician who graduated from junior high school, earning a meager salary in a small factory in a township.
In January, the 'holy light' suddenly came, changing the fate of many people. Special affairs were handled in the province and city, and approval procedures were constantly given the green light. Kunming's seven state-owned electronics factories were quickly reorganized, debts were divested, factory buildings were renovated, and employees were reorganized.
training.
While people in the province thought that it would be fast if ‘Holy Light’s investment could build the factory within two years, the strong strength of the large group taught officials and people in inland provinces a good lesson.
Zhou Qingfeng has built a behemoth company by spending money in the past two years, and quickly recruited and trained tens of thousands of talents through standardized management.
The president wanted to invest in Kunming, so the two departments of "Holy Light" and "Harmony" quickly deployed more than 500 managers to connect with the government, local governments, and suppliers.
A complex matter was dismantled and subdivided into countless simple matters, and they were advanced simultaneously and coordinated with each other. Zhou Qingfeng was based in Kunming, and he solved all the troubles that could not be solved, which was very refreshing.
Ling Xia was not an employee of Seven Electronics Factory, but 'Holy Light' advertised to recruit workers. He drooled when he saw the salary of several hundred yuan a month in the newspaper, and plucked up the courage to apply for the job.
The reorganized electronics factory was in the process of weeding out those with insufficient abilities. On one side were people entering the factory to apply for jobs, and on the other side were the police who were preparing to prevent the troublemakers from gathering. Ling Xia was following the crowd, and was so frightened that his mind went blank.
The "Harmony" department entered Kunming and absorbed more than half of the laid-off workers. Those who wanted to cause trouble found that they were weak and had no choice but to return in frustration.
There are seven factories scattered throughout Kunming. Some of the factory buildings were too dilapidated and were bulldozed by the engineering team to build residential buildings. Some of the factory buildings were relatively large and sturdy and were required to complete modernization in a short period of time.
Ling Xia and about eight hundred people were hired. The factory salary was four to five hundred, and he was very motivated to work. The group first concentrated on transforming a factory to serve as a production workshop, and he stood out during the transformation process.
Afterwards, many people found it strange that the group had distributed a lot of technical and management information. They only had to look through it and it seemed that they had memorized it firmly. For a few days, their brains became particularly easy to use, and they could learn anything quickly.
Naturally integrated.
Ling Xia was also an outstanding student at that time, the best among the best. His position quickly rose from team leader, jumping several levels within two months.
It was truly a dreamlike two months of transformation and evolution. Every day felt magical. Ling Xia was constantly being fed knowledge and assigned various tasks.
Dozens of people also transformed together. However, some people lacked stamina and could only stay in a certain position. Ling Xia also passed through several hurdles and was selected to become the factory director.
In the past, Ling Xia's vision was limited to the workshop. Only when he became the director did he realize that a larger space appeared in front of him. 'Holy Light' took advantage of its network of relationships across the country and integrated hundreds of companies to cooperate.
To put it simply, the 'Holy Light' VCD has a remote control. The remote control requires mold opening. Mold opening requires equipment, personnel and materials. The remote control itself requires a low-end chip, conductive buttons, and a circuit board.
Just such a gadget requires a lot of manufacturers.
This is not thirty years from now. As long as you bring enough money, go to a counter in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen and ask, you can solve all production problems. The current factory must come forward to open up the supply chain on its own, and it is difficult to maintain quality and quantity.
But 'Holy Light' did it, and it did it in a short time. In 1992, the group carried out large-scale procurement across the country, and had a thorough understanding of the domestic industrial strength.
In the beginning, the ministry sent people to tell ‘Holy Light’ where to go and which factory to purchase which parts.
Soon the situation was reversed. The supply chain management personnel of "Holy Light" told the ministries and commissions which factories had poor technology and were rampant in corruption and should be closed down. Which factories had excellent capabilities and outstanding cadres and were worthy of support.
The ministries and commissions were all stunned.
Zhou Qingfeng spent a lot of money to hire thousands of software and hardware personnel, acquired hundreds of tons of professional equipment, and planned to establish information processing centers in many cities at home and abroad.
It is precisely because of this supply chain management capability that it is simply childish for ‘Shengguang’ to focus on one production line for trial production and small-scale mass production.
Ling Xia only needs to do what he should do, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else. Whatever the factory wants, they just squeeze the time, calculate the transportation capacity, and deliver it according to the scheduled plan.
Sitting on a heavy truck imported from Damao, with two assistants, Director Ling took the car to the airport - "Shengguang" has its own airline, although it is a bit more expensive, the freight efficiency is higher than the railway.
The 'Harmony' department has invaded the Magic City and opened a special home appliance supermarket in the city. There is a dazzling array of imported and domestic appliances. Unlike selling second-hand goods in small cities, new goods are sold in first-tier cities.
The VCD of 'Holy Light' will make its global debut in the magical city. The group's publicity department is already building momentum and is waiting for Ling Xia to arrive with the goods.
"Four thousand and eighty units. Who would spend so much money to buy such a thing?" Ling Xia still sighed after sitting on the Tu-154. He had no intention of admiring the modified large aircraft, and arrived in the Magic City with worries all the way.
.
Excluding the core components, a VCD player costs less than 200 yuan. It is probably just a frame, power supply, buttons, and remote control.
You can even omit the remote control and make a low-end model, which is cheaper.
Including the core components, it’s not much. The group didn’t say the specific import price of a decoder board. Director Ling estimated that the price is one hundred US dollars, which is only 500 RMB. The cost of the whole machine is more than 1,500 US dollars.
"Isn't the ex-factory price of two thousand four thousand dollars good? The profit margin is completely sufficient." Ling Xia didn't know that Wanyan Electronics had spent thirteen million US dollars on the research and development of this thing. He always felt that he should make small profits but quick turnover.
"Four-eight thousand is really too expensive. I definitely wouldn't buy it."
Factory Director Ling's monthly salary is several thousand now, but his deep-rooted thoughts cannot be easily changed. When he arrived in the Magic City, the Harmony Department sent someone to pick him up, and by the way, a Soviet heavy truck took the goods away.
That night when I checked into the hotel, there were beautiful female students at the door handing out leaflets with colorful discounts - new pride of the nation, new audio-visual enjoyment, the world's premiere of VCD. Cheers for Made in China!
The slogan of the advertisement is quite beautiful, but Director Ling is still worried - will it be sold?
