Chapter 201 Supporting Cooperation
In the next few days, after Duan Yun's antenna business experienced a wave of sales peaks, orders have begun to decline.

But Duan Yun had already foreseen this situation, the reason has nothing to do with the quality of the antenna, but because "Blood Doubt" has ended on Henan TV, correspondingly, the decline in antenna sales is inevitable.

Duan Yun can fully accept this, because the sales volume of antennas in the past month is astonishing. Duan Yun made a simple statistics. Excluding various costs and expenses, the net profit was more than 28 yuan, and this money has now been deposited by Duan Yun in seven bank accounts with different names.

With more money in hand, Duan Yun will be able to do more things that he has long wanted to do. Finding ways to buy a large number of chips is one of the steps, and the other is to slightly expand the production scale of his workshop.

In Duan Yun's view, with the future rebroadcast of "Blood Suspicion" and the upcoming cartoon "Forest King" at the end of the year, Duan Yun's antenna sales will usher in a small peak again, which means that Duan Yun Cloud also needs to prepare a batch of antenna inventory in advance.

In addition, Duan Yun's first set of mini subwoofers with plastic shells has also been successfully trial-produced. The shells are all made of high-quality plastics purchased from the quota of the Majunying Village Plastic Factory.

During the period, Duan Yun also made some improvements to his own injection molding machine, and redesigned the heating coil and piston pressure parts, which improved the yield and smoothness of the speaker shell again.

It is impossible for any product to be completed overnight, but fortunately, Duan Yun has a solid foundation in technology, and his subordinates work hard and are willing to learn, so after several improvements, the finished product is still very satisfactory to Duan Yun.

In addition, in the design of the mold, Duan Yun also made several plans, all of which were based on the design of popular speakers in later generations, which looked beautiful and avant-garde.

To produce two high-end products at the same time, Duan Yun's current workshop manpower is obviously not enough, so he plans to continue recruiting.

According to the employment principle of "seven ups and eight downs", Duan Yun has actually reached the upper limit of employment.

However, there is still a saying in society nowadays that it is a crime to employ more than 20 workers. From this point of view, Duan Yun is still a long way from this upper limit.

Considering the sensitivity of this matter, Duan Yun did not act hastily, but chose another plan, that is, to cooperate with the plastic factory of Ma Junying, and the plastic factory of Ma Junying will help make some speaker casings, and then Duan It is a win-win situation for Yun to buy according to the price of the finished product, and Duan Yun also has a dark stock in this factory.

Xu Fugui, the village secretary, was very happy when he heard Duan Yun's proposal for cooperation. After all, what the village lacked was manpower. Duan Yun gave him part of the processing business, and it could also solve some of the surplus labor in the village. Everyone was happy. matter.

In addition, the plastic factory managed by Xu Fugui also opened its business during this period.

According to the method Duan Yun gave him, he gave 5.00% of the sales as a "sales reward" to various supply and marketing cooperatives. This trick really worked, and it took almost only a week. It appeared in more than 20 supply and marketing cooperatives within a radius of more than ten miles.

To be honest, Xu Fugui’s plastic washbasins are inferior in appearance quality compared to regular plastic factories, but Xu Fugui is well versed in the consumer psychology of rural people. The mold has been improved three times, and the thickness of the washbasins made is thicker each time. Also more fancy.

Although the quality of Xu Fugui's thicker washbasin is actually slightly lower, most people can't see the slight difference in plastic quality, so buying a thicker washbasin at the same price always feels like a profit.

They are thick, durable, and the price is cheap. In addition, various supply and marketing cooperatives are vigorously promoting them for rebates. The sales of Xu Fugui's plastic products can't be imagined.

In addition, the price of recycled plastic has a very big advantage compared to the high-quality plastic used by regular manufacturers. Even if the thickness and materials of the washbasin are strengthened, the profit is still not small. A plastic washbasin of 100 cents costs off all kinds of costs. As well as rebates, there is also a profit of more than 3000 cents. According to Xu Fugui's current production rate of nearly [-] washbasins a day, he can earn more than [-] yuan a day, and he can make a net profit of more than [-] yuan by selling washbasins in a month. For a plastic factory that has just been established for a month, the profit is already very good.

Moreover, Xu Fugui's factory is also constantly developing and expanding.

Now Xu Fugui goes to various rural supply and marketing cooperatives in the city to sell products every day. Young people who have no job in the village are recruited into workshops for plastic processing, while older villagers ride bicycles to various surrounding factories to buy waste plastics. Everyone was mobilized.

After solving the problem of mass production of plastic speakers, Duan Yun plans to promote and test-market his subwoofer speakers in the next step after the sales of antennas slow down.

The wooden speakers that Duan Yun sold to the Mining Bureau before could not be mass-produced, and the price of 600 yuan is far beyond the consumption level of ordinary citizens, so it is only suitable for high-end customization and sold to really rich audiophiles, but I want to If it really replaces the antenna and becomes the next hot-selling product in your workshop, then you must take the low-end and low-priced route.

Duan Yun's newly designed mini subwoofer uses a four-inch speaker, which is already the lowest hardware speaker configuration for a subwoofer. If the speaker is smaller, it will not be able to reflect the shocking sound effect of the subwoofer.

After repeated design and finalization, the cost price of this mini subwoofer was successfully reduced to 65 yuan. The main cost is the four-inch speaker. The price of electronic products is still very high these days, and the cost can no longer be reduced.

At present, Duan Yun plans to price this low-end mini subwoofer at 120 yuan, which is still a bit high for ordinary people.

In addition to this low-end mini subwoofer, Duan Yun also designed several speaker products with different specifications, with different prices and performances.

There are too many products, and sales are facing some difficulties. Unlike the previous Yagi antenna, which only has one specification, and there are many speaker specifications, it is impossible to bring all of them to people for door-to-door sales. Therefore, Duan Yun must follow the previous thinking and do it as soon as possible. Create a promotional catalog.

Duan Yun planned to buy a camera. After taking pictures of the product, he went to the only state-owned photo studio outside the west gate of Daxing City to have the photo developed. Finally, he marked the name, model and price of the speaker, and made a brochure to sell the product door-to-door.

Now Duan Yun has mastered more than 1000 "high-quality customers" information in various factories, and these high-quality customers will also become their key sales targets in the next step...
