Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong still has some understanding of the situation of the high temperature component factory.

As a military-to-civilian enterprise, the technology and scale of the high-temperature component factory are very good, and the quality of the workers is also first-class. With the production capacity of the high-temperature component factory, it will not affect the overall production for the mere two million heating rods. Production.

Obviously, Guo Yunyuan knew that Li Weidong had won a large foreign trade order and planned to start the price on the ground.

"It's so rare that a state-owned enterprise such as a high-temperature component factory, which is a military-to-civilian enterprise, still knows how to raise prices on the ground! This Guo Yunyuan has adapted to the market economy very quickly!" Li Weidong looked at Guo Yunyuan with admiration.

Before prices broke through, the prices of many industries were still managed by the state, especially state-owned enterprises. They could not sell goods at a higher price, so naturally there was no starting price.

After the country released the pricing power of raw materials and industrial products, although prices began to soar, most state-owned enterprises still did not have the pricing awareness of the market economy, and their thinking was still rigid in the era of planned economy.

The Guo Yunyuan in front of him, in his forties, must have grown up in the planned economy era, but now he knows how to raise prices while sitting on the ground, which instantly made Li Weidong take a high look.

So Li Weidong said: "Manager Guo, the more orders from other manufacturers, the cheaper the price. You are better. The more orders, the more expensive the price!"

"It's not to be able to supply you in time. After all, your electric furnace factory accepts orders to earn foreign exchange from exports. Don't delay! For this reason, our factory workers can work overtime to produce." Guo Yunyuan said.

"Manager Guo, you have also seen that our electric furnace factory has only such a small scale and only has more than 200 workers. Even if it is full production for 14 hours a day, the output will only be so much. If you supply at the normal speed. , can fully meet the production requirements of our factory. So you don't have to work overtime hard, just normal production." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"With normal production and delivery, what reason do I have to increase the price!" Guo Yunyuan thought to himself. After thinking for three seconds, he immediately thought of another excuse.

"Director Li, this is actually the case. As for our factory, we have a batch of very important production tasks to be completed next month. At that time, there will be no extra capacity to produce heating rods for you, so our factory can only make you in advance. The required heating rods are produced, which will inevitably affect other businesses in the factory, and if workers work overtime, additional expenses will be added." Guo Yunyuan said.

Li Weidong smiled slightly. He knew that Guo Yunyuan had an excuse to raise the price, so Li Weidong didn't bother about the reason for the price increase, but asked directly, "Manager Guo, if this is the case, how much do you plan to increase?"

"Not much!" Guo Yunyuan stretched out a finger and said, "For a heating rod, we will raise a dollar!"

"A dollar a dollar, isn't that much?" Ma Zhongyi next to him couldn't help shouting.

A toaster needs six heating rods, which means that the cost is increased by six dollars. According to the exchange rate at the time, if converted into US dollars, it is equivalent to 1.2 US dollars.

And a toaster is only 40 US dollars, which suddenly increases the cost by 1.2 US dollars, which is 3% of the selling price. For a labor-intensive industry, a 3% cost increase is unacceptable.

Li Weidong waved his hand to stop Ma Zhongyi, and then he said, "Manager Guo, a heating rod will cost a dollar, which is too high. I'm afraid our factory can't afford it!"

"Director Li, your factory is at the Canton Fair, but you have received orders of more than 20 million US dollars, right? If it is converted into RMB, it is 100 million without rounding up, and you still care that this heating rod is a mere dollar? You eat meat. , you have to give us a drink of soup for a parts supplier like us!" Guo Yunyuan said.

"Manager Guo, this production requires costs. My order of more than 20 million US dollars cost more than 20 million. After deducting the cost, our factory can really make money, and there is not much money at all. Your high temperature component factory He is also engaged in production, he must understand this." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, for the sake of Director Li, I will give you a 10% discount, and a heating rod will increase by 90 cents." Guo Yunyuan said and looked at Li Weidong, as if waiting for Li Weidong to counter the offer.

However, Li Weidong knew that if this kind of thing of sitting on the ground and raising the price was left unchecked, then there would be two if there was one, and three if there was two, so it must not be used to it.

If every time you receive a large order, the component supplier will come to increase the price once, then you will make some money to subsidize the upstream supplier.

What's more, there is more than one high-temperature component factory for component suppliers. If Li Weidong agreed to the price increase request of the high-temperature component factory, and other component suppliers also came to ask for a price increase, should Li Weidong agree to all of them? If parts suppliers have to raise a few dollars, wouldn't Li Weidong be traded at a loss!

The unhealthy trend of sitting on the ground and raising prices must be resolutely curbed!

So Li Weidong shook his head: "Manager Guo, I'm very sorry, I can't accept this price."

Guo Yunyuan sighed and asked, "Director Li, what price can you accept? Let's talk about it."

"I still buy at the original price. I won't buy it if I increase it by a penny." Li Weidong shook his head firmly.

"Director Li, what do you mean? I kindly came to discuss with you, is this your attitude?" Guo Yunyuan's face became serious.

"Manager Guo, let's do business, pay attention to your wishes and my wishes. If you want to increase the price, I have no opinion. How much you want to increase is also your own business. But whether or not to buy it is still in my hands. I think things are too expensive and I don't want to buy them, so you can't force buying and selling!" Li Weidong replied.

"Director Li, think about it clearly, your factory is receiving foreign trade orders now, and 400,000 toasters are waiting for delivery! If there is no heating rod, what do you use to produce toasters, what do you use? Going to deliver goods to foreign businessmen? Not to mention that you won’t be able to make money by then, and it will also affect the country’s export earnings!” Guo Yunyuan said.

Guo Yunyuan dared to raise prices, and it was precisely the point of exporting foreign exchange that he took a fancy to.

Exporting foreign exchange is not only a production task, but also a political task, which must be completed on time, with high quality and quantity. Guo Yunyuan thinks that Li Weidong can be managed by exporting foreign exchange. In order to complete the production task of exporting foreign exchange, Li Weidong will definitely accept the price increase of heating rods.

If Li Weidong is unwilling to accept the price increase, then the high-temperature component factory will not supply the electric furnace factory. If there is a problem with the order of the toaster and cannot be delivered to the foreign businessman on time, the superiors will definitely blame Li Weidong, and Li Weidong will take responsibility. , can't eat and walk around.

Therefore, Guo Yunyuan has no fear, he decided Li Weidong!

However, Li Weidong was very stubborn. He shook his head again: "Whether our factory can complete foreign trade orders, it is not up to Manager Guo to worry about it."

"Director Li, let me remind you again that exporting foreign exchange of more than 20 million US dollars is a big deal. If something goes wrong, you are the first responsible person and you must bear the corresponding responsibility!" Guo Yunyuan advised again.

"Thank you Manager Guo for reminding me that I have made foreign trade orders for two or three years. I still understand the truth." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Is this Li Weidong contacting other suppliers? Or is he deliberately bluffing me?" Guo Yunyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Li Weidong, and countless possibilities arose in his heart.

Li Weidong had a calm expression on his face. He was an old shopping mall fritter, and naturally it was impossible for him to reveal any useful information from his expression.

"Well, I'll let you hang for a few days to see what cards you have!"

Thinking of this, Guo Yunyuan said: "Director Li, it seems that we have a big difference in price. In this case, I will leave first. Of course, if Director Li thinks our offer is acceptable, we will Director Li is welcome to place an order at any time!"

"Okay, then I'll send it to Manager Guo." Li Weidong continued; "Manager Guo, if there is a discount on the price of your factory's products, you must call me as soon as possible! We are a small factory with technical skills. Poor family background, I like to buy discounted products!"

...

Li Weidong personally sent Guo Yunyuan to the gate.

Watching Guo Yunyuan's car gradually go away, Wang Kaiping said, "Director, you rejected Guo Yunyuan, you must have found a new supplier, right?"

Li Weidong shook his head: "How can there be a new supplier! To be honest, the product quality of this high-temperature component factory is still very good, at least in the area near Qinghe City, you can't find a more suitable one than the high-temperature component factory. Supplier. Shipping is a huge extra if you go elsewhere to order!”

"Then are you planning to dry Guo Yunyuan first?" Wang Kaiping lowered his voice and continued, "But what about our order? If there is no heating rod, should we produce it like this?"

"The 400,000-unit toaster has no running water productivity. With our more than 250 workers, we can finish the work only after the year of the monkey and the horse?" Li Weidong pointed to the electric furnace factory behind him, and then said, "I'm going to build it again. Build some factories, then recruit workers to double the production capacity! Brother Wang, you are also a shareholder of the company, so don’t hold any objections!”

"I have no problem with expanding production capacity, and there is no problem with recruiting workers, but it takes time to build a house, and it takes time to train workers. How can we have so much time now!" Wang Kaiping also raised the same question as Ma Zhongyi.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, this year's orders are really in no hurry to produce. Even if they are produced, they may not be able to sell!" Li Weidong replied.

"Can't sell it? The contract has been signed, and the deposit has been paid. Why can't it be sold? Will the foreigners go back and regret it? They don't want the deposit anymore?" Wang Kaiping asked.

"Well, hehe, let me sell it first, and you'll know when the time comes." Li Weidong laughed inexplicably.

The first chapter was delivered. I thought I couldn't finish the three chapters today, but I did. If you have a monthly pass, vote for one! Thank you!
