Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the field of microwave ovens, Li Weidong really has a way to deal with Xizhi Electric. In this regard, Galanz's development strategy is simply a textbook case in business, and Li Weidong should just use it directly.

Li Weidong took out a pen and paper and was about to make a detailed plan when the BP machine on his waist suddenly rang.

Li Weidong took out his BP machine and looked at the number on it. It was from the provincial capital. He was very familiar with it. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it was the phone number of Ma Dexing's office.

Li Weidong immediately picked up the phone and dialed Ma Dexing's number.

"Director Ma? I'm Li Weidong."

"Director Li, there is something good for you! You have to invite me to dinner later." Ma Dexing said.

"Please!" Li Weidong agreed first, and then asked, "Director Ma, what's the good thing?"

Ma Dexing asked, "Do you know Cologne?"

"I know, it's asexual reproduction technology." Li Weidong replied.

"I'm talking about Cologne, not a clone!" Ma Dexing corrected.

"Cologne! The one in Germany?" Li Weidong said, with a heavy accent on Ma Dexing's dialect.

Ma Dexing continued: "Yes, it's the one in Germany. This Cologne is going to hold a home appliance exhibition, and I have reported your air fryer to the newspaper. The air fryer of your factory made a major breakthrough for our country's home appliance export back then. , this time I must go out and show my face!"

"Thank you, Director Ma, for taking care of you." Li Weidong paused, then said, "What is the probability that the superior will pass?"

"It should be close to ten!" Ma Dexing then explained: "Actually, the opportunity to participate in the Cologne Home Appliances Exhibition this time was not won by our foreign trade department, but by domestic enterprises."

"Which company is so powerful?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"Haier." Ma Dexing then explained: "Haier introduced Liebherr's technology back then, and the two companies have always had a very close cooperative relationship. Liebherr is a German company, and this time it was Liebherr's invitation. Haier went to Cologne to exhibit.

Haier reported this matter to the hall. The hall felt that it would be better to organize an exhibitor group and bring more companies there. First, to show the world our country's home appliance products, and secondly, I hope that the company can It was favored by foreign businessmen and won some foreign trade orders.

We reported this matter to the Ministry, which also approved it, and decided to organize an exhibitor group in the name of the country to go to Cologne to participate in the home appliance exhibition. Since this opportunity to participate in the exhibition was won by enterprises in our province, we have been given some discounts in terms of participation quota. "

"The exhibition seats in Cologne were originally for companies,

Now that the country has organized a delegation, will the organizer agree? What's more, it was originally just a booth for one company, and so many companies went to it at once, can it fit in? "Li Weidong said.

"Why, are you still worried about not having your booth?" Ma Dexing asked with a smile.

"I must be worried. All of them are well-known and big companies. If the booths are tight, it will definitely be small companies like us who will sacrifice." Li Weidong said.

Ma Dexing laughed and said, "You can rest assured, the department has already discussed with the organizer, and the German organizer also welcomes our country to send a delegation to participate, and also provides a lot of convenience and assistance. Woolen cloth!"

"When did the Germans become so good?" Li Weidong asked with a frown.

Ma Dexing explained: "It's not that the Germans have changed for the better, but the international situation. At the end of last year, the "European Union Treaty" was signed, and next year, the European Union will be formally established. Since it is an alliance, there must be no A martial arts leader!

Both the UK and France want to compete for the master of the martial arts alliance. As for Germany, it must have been unqualified to compete for the master of the martial arts alliance a few years ago. I am worried that it is different now. This martial arts alliance leader in order to have more say in the EU. "

Since the concept of "European Union" came into being, the battle for the right to speak has never ceased. The UK, France and Germany all want to dominate the EU, while some weaker countries often form alliances to gain more right to speak and maintain. own interests. Only the European Parliament and the EU presidency, a mascot at the door.

Ma Dexing continued: "If Germany wants to be the leader of the European Union's martial arts alliance, it must increase its influence. Therefore, in recent international events, Germans can always be seen. Germany itself has also held a lot of internal activities. This Cologne home appliance fair is a means for Germany to increase its influence."

Li Weidong thought about it carefully, and it really is the case. Now Germany is really actively bidding for the World Expo.

Ma Dexing continued: "Since the Germans want to increase their national influence, they will definitely welcome exhibitors from various countries. We set up an official pavilion, which is exactly what the Germans want. Of course, they will give some conveniences."

"So it is." Li Weidong nodded.

"Director Li, I've already told you about it. You have to prepare early. After all, this is a foreign exhibition. We represent the country. We must take out our best products, and we can't embarrass the country!" Ma Dexing said.

Li Weidong replied immediately: "Director Ma, don't worry, I will prepare carefully, and I will definitely not embarrass the country."

After putting down the phone, Li Weidong's mood instantly became happy.

"I was thinking about finding an opportunity to travel to Europe or the United States to sell orange juice machines, but now it's just a matter of time!"

...

In the conference room of the Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory, people with technical secondary school and high school degrees in the factory were called.

Li Weidong sat in the middle and said, "I have called everyone here for a few days. There is one thing that needs to be announced. After research by the leadership team in the factory, it has been decided to implement a new talent training plan from next year.

The specific measure is that the factory encourages employees to take the adult college entrance examination. Once you pass the adult college entrance examination and are admitted to the university, whether it is a junior college or an undergraduate, the tuition fee will be borne by the factory, and the salary will be paid during the study period! Of course, the premise is that you have to take a major in agricultural machinery. "

The adult college entrance examination is divided into high school, high school and college promotion. For secondary school students and high school students, they can take college or undergraduate exams. The college degree can be upgraded to the college through the adult college entrance examination.

There are three teaching methods for the adult college entrance examination: part-time, full-time and correspondence.

The part-time teaching method generally recruits students in the college resident, and arranges classes at night or on weekends. Therefore, it is suitable for on-the-job candidates to apply for the exam.

Full-time study is the way of full-time study in the school. Its management method is the same as that of ordinary colleges and universities, and it also has stable winter and summer vacations like normal colleges.

Correspondence teaching is mainly based on self-study, and several short-term intensive face-to-face teaching is arranged every academic year.

In terms of teaching quality, full-time learning is definitely the best. Li Weidong also hopes that employees can study full-time, so he proposed the condition that wages should be paid during the study period.

When they heard that they were going to college, the salary was not mentioned, and that the factory also paid tuition fees, many people showed moving expressions.

These people were all secondary school or high school students in the 1980s, and they all belonged to the group with better academic performance at that time. For these people, things like reading were relatively good.

This kind of person who is better at learning, in all likelihood, will regret and feel annoyed because he did not enter the university. Now that he has the opportunity to enter the university again, of course, everyone is eager to try.

Li Weidong went on to say: "Of course, the factory provides you to go to college, and it's not for nothing. After you graduate, you have to come back to work. Before you go to college, you have to sign a contract with the factory. Pay liquidated damages!"

Li Weidong doesn't want the talents he spends to cultivate to be picked by others in the end, so he should clarify the words first.

However, everyone in the audience obviously did not care about these words. At that time, state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises were still dominant, and there was no such thing as quitting jobs. For example, in a small backward place like Qinghe, if you entered a certain unit, you had to work in it. lifetime.

Therefore, Li Weidong proposed that after graduation, he must return to work in the agricultural machinery factory, which is a matter of course for everyone to see.

Li Weidong continued; "The factory encourages you to take the adult college entrance examination, and you are not learning for nothing. Next, I will talk about the salary. After you go to college, after graduation, the salary will be improved according to your education. I will give you double your salary, and if you have a bachelor's degree, the factory will give you three times your salary!

So even if you have only taken a college entrance examination for adults, don't be discouraged. You can go on to take the college entrance examination and upgrade to a bachelor's degree and get a bachelor's degree, which is equivalent to getting an extra salary!

Of course, if you have the ability, if you are admitted to graduate school and come back with a master's degree, we will not negotiate several times the salary. If you want any conditions, just ask me, even if you want a Santana, the factory will give it to you! "

A salary increase is a real benefit, whether it's double or triple the salary, it's a very fragrant thing.

You can study in the factory, and the salary will be paid as usual during the period. After graduation, the salary will be doubled. This is a big pie in the sky.

In an instant, everyone in the conference room was eager to try.

Of course, there are also some older people with hesitant expressions. They are obviously worried that they are too old and have not studied for a long time, so they cannot pass the adult college entrance examination.

Li Weidong went on to say: "There are more people taking the adult college entrance examination now, and the competition for the examination is still very fierce. In order to enable the employees in our factory to pass the examination more smoothly, the factory specially hired from the No. 2 Middle School in the city. Teacher, make up lessons for everyone, and the time for supplementary lessons is every weekend. Everyone is welcome to sign up!"

Hearing that there was still a teacher giving supplementary lessons, the hesitation on the faces of the older ones disappeared immediately.

With the guidance of professional high school teachers, the chances of passing the college entrance examination for adults will definitely be much higher. Even those employees who have been away from school for many years have a little more confidence.

...

The high school teacher was naturally hired by Li Weidong.

There is still a big difference between being taught by a teacher and self-taught in matters like the college entrance examination.

Lu Jianli was the teacher of the No. 2 Middle School. Li Weidong asked Lu Jianli to help, and he easily invited several teachers to hold a weekend remedial class.

In the early 1990s, such things as remedial classes were not popular, and teachers had no chance to earn extra money. Li Weidong gave the money in place. Of course, the teachers of No. 2 Middle School were happy to take advantage of the weekend to earn some extra money and improve their lives.

A few days later, Du Jiahai handed a statistical table to Li Weidong.

"Factory director, there are people with secondary school and palace education in our factory, almost all of them have signed up!" Du Jiahai said.

The conditions offered by Li Weidong are so good that people cannot refuse. Of course, all those who meet the conditions will actively sign up.

Li Weidong looked at the statistical table with satisfaction, and then said: "If one-third of these people can pass the adult college entrance examination, and three or four people can be admitted to the undergraduate degree, our factory will not lose money!"

"Factory director, if someone is admitted to a graduate school, will the factory really provide cars?" Du Jiahai asked.

"Of course, what I say counts, a master's degree is worth a Santana! If there is a master's degree in agricultural machinery automation who is willing to come, I will give him a car right away! Unfortunately, a small business like ours can't invite such high-level Educational talents." Li Weidong said helplessly. .

Du Jiahai sighed deeply: "With such good conditions, I want to take the adult college entrance examination."

Li Weidong smiled: "What are you mixing? Oh, I see, you are asking me for a new car!"

"No, my current jeep is pretty good too, pretty good." Du Jiahai said quickly.

Li Weidong continued: "Now this Santana is really not easy to buy. I heard that the supply is in short supply. If you want to pick up the car, you will have to wait until half a year later. But the Jetta from FAW-Volkswagen is also quite good. I will give you one later. Let's go!"

At this moment, Li Weidong's BP machine rang again, Li Weidong looked at the number, and it was Ma Dexing's call again.

"It is estimated that it is about the Cologne Household Appliances Exhibition, and it is obvious."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong picked up the phone and called back to Ma Dexing.

"Hey, Director Ma, I'm Li Weidong. Has the Cologne Home Appliances Fair settled?" Li Weidong asked directly.

The opposite Ma Dexing sighed: "Hey, your factory's participation in the exhibition is yellow!"

Li Weidong's brow furrowed sharply. At the electrical appliance factory, more than 100 orange juice machine samples have been made, and they are waiting to go to Cologne to participate in the exhibition. Why can't they go there all of a sudden!

So Li Weidong asked, "What's going on?"

"I reported your air fryer to the newspaper, but the ministry didn't approve it." Ma Dexing sighed helplessly and continued; "To be precise, it was your quota that was replaced by other companies."

"Who is it?" Li Weidong asked immediately.

"Have you heard of water lily fans? Their factory also produces air fryers. This time, the Ministry approved their water lily brand air fryer to participate in the Cologne Home Appliances Exhibition." Ma Dexing explained.

"Water lily fans? I have an impression, I seem to have seen them at the Canton Fair!"

Li Weidong thought for a while, and finally got some eyebrows, he said; "I remember, at the Canton Fair, this water lily fan was also a copy of our air fryer, it seems that the leader of their provincial foreign trade department, surnamed Cai, also I got into a fight with you!"

"Yes, it's the old fox of Cai Qianjin!" Ma Dexing continued indignantly; "This time it's also the ghost of Cai Qianjin. He told the ministry that we have five exhibitors in one province, and at most two in other provinces. , and some don't even have a family, which is not fair.

As a result, in order to balance, the ministries kicked your air fryer away and replaced it with an air fryer of water lily. This is considered a crying child to have milk to drink! "

"Water Lily Air Fryer, don't be afraid to fall asleep and fry Hu!" Li Weidong curled his lips in disdain, and then realized that the air fryer seemed to have a timer function, and he developed it first.

Then Li Weidong asked, "Who are the other four companies in our province?"

"Haier must have some, after all, they have invited Haier to participate in the exhibition. In addition, Hisense TVs from Dongdao TV General Factory and Aucma Freezers from Huanghai Freezer Factory also have to participate in the exhibition. There are many cooperation projects. Another is the duckling washing machine in our provincial capital.” Ma Dexing introduced them one by one.

"Haier, Hisense, Aucma, and Xiaoya are all big brands in the domestic home appliance industry. No wonder they sacrificed me!" Li Weidong shook his head helplessly.

In 1992, Haier was already the top refrigerator brand in China, and the company changed its name to "Haier Group" and accelerated its pace of entering the international market.

In the same year, Hisense was already one of the three giants of domestic color TV, and just replaced a 35-year-old young factory manager, and is about to enter a period of rapid development and growth.

At this time, Aucma Group, also called Huanghai Freezer Factory, mainly focused on the research and development of refrigeration technology and product manufacturing related to freezers, and was regarded as a leading enterprise in the freezer industry.

As for Xiaoya, it has long been a well-known brand in China. As early as 1984, they have made the first front-loading washing machine in China. In the domestic washing machine industry, it is a well-deserved "boss".

With these four big brands in the front, Li Weidong was eliminated, which is really not wrong.

On the other side of the phone, Ma Dexing comforted him; "Director Li, don't be sad. Temporary adjustment of exhibitors is a common occurrence. As far as I know, there are also many companies in other provinces who registered in the department and were eventually eliminated. of."

"Director Ma, you don't need to comfort me, I can understand!" Li Weidong paused, then continued; "Even if you can't go this time, there's still a chance next time!"

"Director Li, why do I feel that what you said is a bit insincere!" Director Ma hesitated for two seconds, and then asked; "Director Li, don't you think of other ways?"

Ma Dexing has known Li Weidong for some years, and he knows that Li Weidong always has some unexpected means. And with what he knows about Li Weidong, Li Weidong is not someone who gives up so easily.

Li Weidong smiled, and then said, "If you want to talk about other ways, it's not that there is no way."

"You really have another way!" Ma Dexing immediately asked, "What way?"

"Well, keep it a secret!" Li Weidong laughed, and then said: "Director Ma, don't worry, my method will definitely not affect your normal exhibition! If you see it at the exhibition site in Cologne Me, don't be surprised!"

...

Cologne is a famous exhibition city, especially in the consumer industry, there are many international exhibitions, which will be held in Cologne.

In his last life, Li Weidong went to Cologne to see several exhibitions, so he still has some understanding of the exhibitions in Cologne.

Li Weidong's Puppy Electric is just a foundry, not an international well-known home appliance brand. It is basically impossible to obtain the qualification to participate in the Cologne International Home Appliances Exhibition.

This time, Li Weidong did not have the sponsor relationship like Nakano Co., Ltd., and it was impossible to obtain a booth through his contacts.

But this does not mean that Li Weidong cannot enter the Cologne Convention and Exhibition Center.

The formal exhibition area can't be entered, and the leisure area that sells drinks and food can't go in!

Although I can't go to the exhibition of the orange juice machine, I can rent a booth in the leisure area and sell freshly squeezed orange juice. Is there any problem?
