Chapter 616 Pricing
Duan Yun is now in a dilemma when it comes to setting an export price for the Longteng gearbox. Even if it is based on the separate foreign exchange settlement price of the Ministry of Light Industry, Duan Yun’s ex-factory price cannot be lower than 600 US dollars, and this price is still higher than that of the Lada sedan. The price of the gearbox is 480 US dollars, and the difference between the two benchmark products is a full 120 US dollars. If Duanyin is exported at this price, it will be at an absolute disadvantage.

If the factory wants to make a profit, it can only rely on export tax rebate subsidies. In Duan Yun's view, if it wants to win by price, the export price of Duan Yun Longteng's gearbox must not be higher than 400 US dollars. The ideal price should be 380 US dollars, a full It is $100 lower than the Lada car gearbox, which means that according to the Ministry’s foreign exchange rate, every time Duan Yun sells a gearbox, the state will subsidize 220 times 3, which is 660 yuan.

In fact, if the actual currency price of RMB to USD is 1:6, the ex-factory price of Duan Yun should be 300 U.S. dollars per unit. From a macro perspective, the country still earns 80 U.S. dollars for every unit sold.

But the account cannot be calculated in this way. On the surface, Duan Yun still needs state subsidies. The more he sells, the more "losses" the state will have.

Duan Yun also wholeheartedly hopes that his products can earn a large amount of foreign exchange funds for the country without losing money, but the reality is that the products of their factory cannot produce mature products that have been produced internationally for more than ten years in a short period of time. Fighting prices, without the support of national policies, Duan Yun is now opening up the international market to export, he can only lose all his money.

On the balcony of that house, Duan Yun smoked several cigarettes one after another, and finally set the export price at 380 US dollars. In addition, he needed a tax rebate subsidy of 660 yuan per set. He wrote down the pricing of his own products and the prices of similar foreign products as After submitting the report, it will be handed over to the Bureau of Light Industry the next day, and everything will be decided by the superiors.

If the superiors disagree, then Duan Yun can only continue to maintain the price of 600 US dollars. It is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain export orders at such a price, but Duan Yun cannot let his factory lose money anyway. This is his bottom line.

In the early morning of the second day, Duan Yun came to the Bureau of Light Industry and handed over the report to Ruiyang.

After Ruiyang received Duan Yun's report, he didn't say anything, but told him to go back and wait for the news.

After Duan Yun left the Bureau of Light Industry, he began to prepare for the staff from the workshop to participate in the Canton Fair.

After returning to the labor service company, Duan Yuan went to the security department first.

Duan Yun plans to bring a lot of subwoofer speaker products to Guangzhou this time. Although this is the period of the nationwide crackdown, there are still many thieves and robbers running rampant on the railway line. Kung fu men acted as porters and bodyguards, escorting Cao Dong, Cui Lin and some core members of the workshop.

At present, the chief of the security department is still Qin Shengli. He is the best and reliable in his work, so Duan Yun has always kept him by his side like a confidant, and will not transfer him away easily.

The other two, Fang Rong and Bao Quankun, who are good at kung fu, Duan Yun has already dispatched, and Guangrong followed Zhao Changfeng to Xiamen to open an office. There are also five members of the security department, so now they are good at their own skills and can be transferred out. Bao Quankun was the only one left.

Compared with Qin Shengli and Fang Rong, Bao Quankun is already in his early 30s. Although he is a bit older, his body is quite tough, and he has maintained the habit of practicing kung fu all the year round. It is difficult for three or five people to get into his body.

And like everyone else, Bao Quankun is a relatively mature and stable person, and he is very relieved to arrange anything for him, so Duan Yun decided to let Bao Quankun lead a few people from the security department to the Canton Fair this time.

After learning that Duan Yun wanted him to attend the Canton Fair with others, Bao Quankun was very happy.

As a bachelor in his 30s who is poor and still unmarried, Bao Quankun also hopes that he can earn more money in the past few years and bring home a daughter-in-law. This kind of family has a high status, and it is not easy for a bachelor with little land. Sometimes they work hard on the soil for a year, and at most they can get enough food and clothing, and there is no hope for the rest.

But since Duan Yun came to their village, Bao Quankun saw hope. He was so happy that he could not fall asleep for several days when he was selected by Duan Yun to be a large group of guards.

Moreover, after coming to this factory, Bao Quankun also heard all kinds of rumors about Duan Yun, knowing that many people who started businesses with him made a lot of money, and some even became millionaires. Kun felt very moved, and he also hoped that one day he could become someone beside Duan Yun and change his destiny through hard work.

Now that Duan Yun arranged for Bao Quankun to attend the Canton Fair, it was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Bao Quankun in his life, so he agreed without hesitation, and he was very active, offering to be responsible for the handling and transportation by himself. Take care of the goods, there will never be any mistakes.

After the people who participated in the advertising meeting were selected, Duan Yun asked Erhu to go to the train station to buy a train ticket and leave for Guangzhou tomorrow.

In order to ensure that his goods can be delivered safely this time, and also considering the relatively long journey, Duan Yun arranged for two tigers and bought two sleeper tickets at a high price. There are relatively few, and it is easy to find a place to put the speakers. If the other people are tired and sleepy, they can take turns to sleep and rest.

Duan Yun gave the two tigers 1000 yuan this time as travel expenses for a group of 8 people and food, clothing and accommodation expenses after they arrived in Guangzhou. 1000 yuan is not a small amount of money these days, but as the so-called poor family gets rich, Duan Yun Giving them so much money also hopes that they can eat well and live well, so that they will have plenty of energy to sell products at the Canton Fair.

After getting the money from Duan Yun, Erhu immediately drove to the train station. He had to meet with Cui Lin and others in the afternoon to make final preparations before departure.

And Duan Yun is also waiting for the notice from the Municipal Bureau. According to the regulations, the relevant personnel of the exhibitors of the Canton Fair in previous years must also go to Guangzhou about a week in advance.

In addition, when going to Guangzhou to participate in the exhibition this time, in addition to Duan Yun, he also needs to bring the financial and sales personnel of the factory, up to 4 people, and the department will arrange meals and accommodation in Guangzhou.

Duan Yun immediately notified Yu Shulan from the finance department and Zhang Xiulan from the sales department. One of them was Duan Yun's pocketbook, and the other was the backbone of sales and public relations. These two people had to be brought there.

After Zhang Xiulan was notified, she had temporarily sent the child to a relative's house in advance. In order to sell new products in the factory, she had to accept Duan Yun's arrangement.
