Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1204
When Duan Yun and his wife were inspecting the work in the factory on Monday morning, the guard suddenly ran over, and a man named Xu Fuguo begged to see him at the door of the dormitory.

"Xu Fuguo, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Electronics Group, why did he come to our factory?" Cheng Qingyan asked curiously.

Although Tianyin Electronics Factory and Shenzhen Electronics Group had no apparent enmity, the two companies had always been in a state of open and secret struggle, and this time Xu Fuguo suddenly took the initiative to pay a visit, which surprised Cheng Qingyan.

"It stands to reason that our factory has no business with their group... Do you think he sent money here?" Duan Yun thought for a while and said.

"Send money?"

"As I told you last time, I went to their Shenzhen Electronics Group and told them that I wanted to sell a Walkman production line from our factory, and the asking price was 2000 million dollars..." Duan Yun reminded.

"Aren't you joking with him? Does he take it seriously?" Cheng Qingyan finally realized.

A few days ago, when Duan Yun went home for dinner at night, he mentioned this matter to his wife at the dinner table, but Cheng Qingyan didn't take it seriously at that time, and just laughed it off.

After all, this is not a transaction worth tens of millions, but a production line worth 2000 million US dollars. Such a large amount of money is not a small amount for Shenzhen Electronics Group, so in Cheng Qingyan's view, this transaction is simply impossible matter.

"Go and invite Manager Xu to the office." Duan Yun said to the security guard, then turned to his wife and said, "Let's go, let's meet the second-in-command of Shenzhen Electronics Group together."

"But..." Cheng Qingyan frowned slightly, and said to Duan Yun: "We won't really sell this production line to them, will we?"

"Sell! Why can't you sell it!?" Duan Yun frowned, and then said: "For business, is there anything that can't be sold? As long as the price is right, he can sell this factory to him!"

"But our Walkman production line..."

"Let me tell you, we now have two production lines, and it is absolutely worthwhile to sell one of them at a price of 2000 million U.S. dollars. This is almost equivalent to the total profit of our Walkman factory for about one year. Haven't we already started to owe bank loans? With this amount of money, it is enough for the later investment of the chip factory." Duan Yun said.

"The problem is that if we sell the Walkman production line, their Shenzhen Electronics Group will start production soon to compete with us. If that's the case..."

"Did you forget about the video recorder factory?" Duan Yun glanced at his wife, and then said: "Electronic products are fast-moving consumer goods. In the past, whether we sold speaker recorders or Walkmans, we were always ahead of other domestic manufacturers. Yes, the sales of Walkmans have been declining for half a year in a row. Last month, you ordered the Chamber of Commerce to hold a promotion. Didn’t you increase the sales? This shows that the domestic Walkman market has weakened, so at this time, you can sell 2000 million dollars This production line is sold, and next year we will fully produce and sell karaoke video recorders, just in time to complete the product replacement, isn't this the consistent business strategy of our factory..."

"I'm just worried that the karaoke video recorder might not be so easy to sell, after all, the price is so expensive..." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Cheng Qingyan's expression suddenly softened, but she still muttered in a low voice.

In fact, as early as when the VCR production line was introduced, Cheng Qingyan had already seen Duan Yun's business strategy clearly, and knew that the VCR would sooner or later replace the Walkman as the new flagship product of Tianyin Electronics Factory, and the previous development experience of Tianyin Electronics Factory also proved that Duan Yun's strategy is correct, so it is easy for her to understand what Duan Yun is saying now. The only worry is that the video recorder may not be able to achieve the desired sales volume. Can't afford it.

"Our current chamber of commerce model is very mature. As soon as a new product comes out, it can be quickly rolled out in the national market." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Our Tianyin Electronics Factory is now a gold-lettered signboard with a high brand awareness. Moreover, the after-sales system we have established in the past two years is the strongest in the entire domestic home appliance industry, so as long as the products are excellent, you don't have to worry about sales..."

"But a video recorder costs several thousand dollars. Are there really so many people in China who can afford it?" Cheng Qingyan said.

"There are some things you probably don't know. When my friends and I got together before, they revealed something to me. Did you know about the smuggling case in Han Province the year before?" Duan Yun asked.

"I've heard some..."

"Do you know how many goods were smuggled in Han Province at that time? 286 million TVs, 190 million cars, and 25 video recorders. Do you still dare to say that there are few rich people in China?" Duan Yun said.

"so much?"

"This number is just too much. Now there are more and more rich people in the country. When we got married, there were not many who could afford a TV. But now, black and white TVs are not rare. I’m starting to snap up imported color TVs.” Duan Yun curled his lips, and continued: “In addition to color TVs and refrigerators, these are home appliances costing thousands of yuan, and the market is still in short supply. Last year, we produced and sold more than 50 units in Shenzhen alone. There are several million sets in the whole country, are you still worried that our karaoke video recorders will not be sold?"

"I'm just talking casually..." By this time, Cheng Qingyan had already begun to turn her worries into joy.

If Cheng Qingyan still doubted some of her husband's generous business strategies in the past one or two years, now she already trusts her husband very much.

Even though the joint venture chip factory invested several hundred million yuan, she finally chose to agree, and invested all the company's cash in the chip factory, so that she still owes the bank a loan of 8 million yuan.

"When the two of us meet this Manager Xu later, you will act with winks..." At this time, Duan Yun gently pressed his wife's ear and said a few words in a soft voice.

"Okay, just do as you said." Cheng Qingyan nodded after hearing the words.

Afterwards, the two returned to the office together.

"Hello, Manager Xu!" After entering the office, Duan Yun warmly greeted him immediately, shook hands with Xu Fuguo, and said, "You're welcome, coming to my place is like going home, sit down."

"Manager Xu drinks tea!" Cheng Qingyan also made a cup of tea at this time, and put it on the coffee table in front of Xu Fuguo with a smile.

"You two are really model couples in Shenzhen's business community. It's really admirable to have built such a large factory in just a few days!" Xu Fuguo said with a smile on his face after taking the teacup .

"Is Manager Xu coming to our factory today for anything?" After exchanging pleasantries, Duan Yun immediately went straight to the topic and asked.

"Manager Duan, do you still remember what we talked about when we met last time?" Xu Fuguo asked with a smile.
