Feng Zhiyao heard his father say that Chen's Capital may have just emerged, but the big drama is coming later. He thought about it and said, "My father mentioned it."
"What did he say?" Lu Feng said with interest: "There is no need to repeat the exact words, you can simply summarize it."
"Watch a show!" Feng Zhiyao concluded.
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he made the right choice by continuing to wait. Su Yourong was very smart, and Lu Feng could indeed get a certain amount of money to help her.
The problem is that a local financial circle often relies not on money, but on connections. Mr. Chen’s most powerful tool is not money, let alone Chen Capital, but her connections.
If no one suppresses her connections, she can mobilize funds ten times higher than her own. Chen's capital is close to tens of billions, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"I've been talking to your dad a lot lately. Not only is my mother worried about my son traveling thousands of miles, but my father is also worried!" Lu Feng patted Feng Zhiyao on the shoulder and said, "You have grown up. You should know how to accompany an older person.
Tell me how precious it is."
Feng Zhiyao nodded heavily and said slightly moved: "I know!"
After returning to the factory for a few days, Lu Feng did not only rest but also hold meetings. Judging from the current product lineup of Jiafeng Electronics, it is all supported by a single product, VCD. Although the VCD market is expanding rapidly, further eroding the video tape market, but
Piracy is still rampant.
With the launch of a new generation of TV sets with larger sizes, clearer screens and further improvements in display technology, Wipda's sales have further declined.
It is still being sold now because of Lu Feng's early layout in the rural market. Sales in big cities are really not good. Don't underestimate the changes in just three years from 1991 to 1993.
In the past three years, domestic GDP has exploded. Affected by some major international events, the currency has depreciated rapidly. However, the per capita income in urban and rural areas has actually increased, especially in big cities.
The economy has passed the most dangerous period and has officially put its feet on the ground. Domestic industrial upgrading and inflation have caused the prices of electronic products to drop. Now that people have money, they all want to buy good things.
Wipda's sales have declined, and its two products, tape players and radios, have also been suppressed to the point where they cannot survive. The monthly sales volume of radios is less than 30,000 units. The profit is thin and the sales volume is low. For the entire enterprise, it is better than nothing.
This kind of single product supports the entire company's product line, which is very dangerous. On the other hand, the factory in Suzhou is unable to produce at full capacity for a long time because of low market demand.
It won't be a big problem for a month or two, but if it goes any longer, employees' salaries will become a burden. If there are a large number of layoffs, you will know without asking. Huang Youwei will talk to Lu Feng the next day.
The phone was on speakerphone, and Lu Feng was leaning on his chair with no expression on his face, thinking deeply.
"Mr. Lu, the current market for Wipda is saturated. Even if we open up other markets, we still can't sell it. Our current leading product is Golden Leopard VCD." Zhu Lidong was also a little worried and said: "There is no way in the market.
, we can only wait for the R&D company to come up with new products.”
"How about the overseas market? This area needs to be planned in advance." Lu Feng said.
"I talked to you about the overseas market some time ago, and you also said that we can't go out, and there are too many uncertainties in the overseas market. The procedures are very troublesome, and there are quality inspections!" Zhu Lidong thought of all the approval procedures.
Two big ones.
"Get out of the export agency."
"Agent? The profit margins are horribly low, and the profit points earned by those companies are very high. I heard that for some medium-sized enterprises, there is not even a single point of profit. They can't even put a brand logo on them. They can only write which country the goods come from."
Zhu Lidong sighed and said: "That little profit won't be enough to fill the gap between your teeth in one year."
"Of course I know that the problem is that we need to support workers. I can't lay off people in large numbers. Several assembly lines are not open now. The selling point is the point, and OEM is the key. The key is to get the company up and running. This year is inherently special.
year."
Zhu Lidong is even more worried. The payment for this product in foreign export trade is very slow. It needs to pass the quality inspection of the company first, then load the ship. After arriving at the place, the goods are unloaded. The company there conducts the transaction, and then enters the payment process.
The money first went to the agency, which peeled off a layer, and then gave the money to the production company. After this set of processes became normal, within half a year, sales were still good.
If the product is not easy to sell, it will be even slower.
There is also a risk that agency companies run away. There are too many agency companies running away now. They act as agents for many export trade companies, and the one-time repayment sometimes amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Many agency companies simply take the money and go overseas to enjoy their business. As a result, this agency export model is now avoided by people.
The risk is all your own, most of the profits are taken away by the other party, and there is a situation where nothing is gained.
Those who make this kind of overseas orders are either trustworthy people, or the company really can't stand it any longer. They make an order, then take the bill to the bank for pledge, exchange it for a sum of cash, and bet that after half a year, the company will not have the money.
, can also survive.
"Mr. Lu, if you want to do it, you can try it. I think the chance of being scammed is very high." Zhu Lidong reminded: "Lenovo has been scammed before and almost didn't get the money back."
Lu Feng didn't know much about the current overseas exports. At that time, he only learned a few words from some old people in the business world. It was very confusing. Sometimes, it was either business or robbery!
There was a joke once that the risk of finding an agency was higher than the risk of smuggling.
Lu Feng knew that this was a blue ocean. There was no market for Wipda in China, but there was a huge market abroad. In Asan, Africa and other poor places, black and white TVs were high-end products.
With the upgrading of the industry, the supply of various accessories and raw materials has become very cheap. Since this year, the cost price of Weipod's 25-inch TV has been reduced to less than 2,000 yuan.
Lu Feng is still considering the pros and cons. If he goes to an export agency, there is a high chance of being cheated, but Jiafeng Electronics must go out.
The domestic market is one way, and foreign trade is the other leg. Neither one can be abandoned.
Lu Feng thought for a while, then called Zhu Lidong again and asked him if he knew anyone who was an export trade agent. When Zhu Lidong heard this, he already knew in his heart that Lu Feng was determined to do it.
Zhu Lidong didn't know any agents, but he knew that as long as Lu Feng was willing to find one, he would attend a few banquets, gatherings and other messy occasions.
Those people have been hanging out in this kind of situation all year round. Lu Feng has met them before, but he just casually lost their business cards.
Lu Feng was still weighing the pros and cons when the phone on the table rang. He picked up the phone and said, "Who is this?"
"Guess what good news I have for you?" Jiang Xiaoyan's voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited.
"What good news?" Lu Feng wondered.
"Take a guess, it's great news!" Jiang Xiaoyan's voice was full of joy.
"Has the factory received a big order?"
"No, it has nothing to do with money, guess again!"
"You...are pregnant?" Lu Feng teased: "Congratulations, congratulations!"
"If you're not here, who will I be pregnant with? I couldn't speak in a formal way. I was very happy..."
"Ouch, ouch, it's my fault. I'm just kidding you. Tell me, what's the good news?" Lu Feng cleared his throat and asked seriously.
"I went for a check-up and my body recovered very well. The doctor said it was unbelievable. It's almost May and I will be fine if I take another month." Jiang Xiaoyan wiped away tears as she spoke.
She was so happy. No one knew how much darkness she had spent alone. At this moment, she finally saw the light, and the breath in her heart finally came out.
"Why are you crying again?"
"I'm so happy. I'm pregnant this year. I'm going to your house to celebrate the New Year. I'll sit on your Kang and eat eight hot dishes!" Jiang Xiaoyan curled her lips and choked.
"Eat, eat, eat, have a full Han Dynasty banquet. When the time comes, we will put up a banner and say you are pregnant. We will advertise throughout the county. We will advertise on the TV." Lu Feng said with a smile.
"How can you be like this, pregnant with a child and still on TV?" Jiang Xiaoyan laughed, and then thought: "Tell me, is the first child a son?"
"It's fine as long as it's mine. Don't think so much. Don't be so burdened. Everything is fate." Lu Feng comforted.
Jiang Xiaoyan's words revealed her determination to give Lu Feng a son. Every generation has something deeply ingrained in them.
Lu Feng couldn't say that she was wrong, he just said that the era, environment and atmosphere in which she grew up had penetrated into her body and mind!
Not to mention Jiang Xiaoyan, why are we not products of the times?
Lu Feng was silent for a while and said: "I will go back tomorrow and ask them to buy tickets later. The company's affairs are almost settled."
"Really? Then I'll clean up the house tonight. I'm busy with things in the factory during this period, and I have to teach Duoduo how to do homework. The house is a bit messy..." Jiang Xiaoyan was very happy and was already thinking about what to make tomorrow.
of.
They chatted a lot more, basically trivial things, what happened to so and so in the factory, gossip about who in the cosmetics city, she kept chattering to Lu Feng about her days alone.
"I'm going to eat, see you tomorrow." Lu Feng said and hung up the phone.
Jiang Xiaoyan put down the phone, read the hospital's checklist again, and ran upstairs like a little girl, shouting: "Duoduo, mom will take you to eat your favorite KFC, let's go, right?"
Yes, I have to tell Fengxia."
Lu Feng ordered people to buy air tickets, and sat down to eat in a private room in the cafeteria. Halfway through the meal, Zhang Fengxia walked in. Her face was not very high.
He glanced at Lu Feng, sat down, forced a smile, and said, "Sister Xiaoyan has recovered well, congratulations."
"Congratulations? You said it as if I'm going to be a father. Besides, I'm already a father." Lu Feng said casually while eating: "I'll leave the matters in the factory to you. I'll go back tomorrow. Recently,
For a while, I plan to try overseas exports."
"Oh!" Zhang Fengxia just said, and there was no other sound.
