Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 778 Souvenirs

"This is what I said..." Hearing this, Duan Yun finally confirmed that He Ming had no malicious intentions this time, so he asked, "Is there anything you want to do this time?"

"Manager Duan, I'm here to give you souvenirs..." He Ming winked at the three young men with snakeskin bags behind him while speaking, and the latter immediately handed the bag to Duan Yun.

"This is?" Duan Yun asked curiously when he saw that several people opened the bag, and there were walnuts and chestnuts in it.

"This is a special product of our Beihe Province. Cangzhou Jinsi jujube, Kuancheng chestnut, and Pingshan cotton walnut are all top-quality local products..." Xu Ming said with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I said Old Xu, you are too polite." Duan Yun immediately understood the meaning of the other party, so he said quickly: "Come as soon as you come, if you have anything to bring, sit down quickly, Zhang Xiulan, give it to me quickly." The guest pours a cup of tea."

"Hehe." After He Ming sat down, he smiled, and then said, "Isn't Manager Duan busy recently?"

"It's okay." Duan Yun responded, then took out the cigarettes in his pocket, and gave each of the four people one by one.

"Manager Duan, don't pay attention to what happened at the Canton Fair last time. I'm looking for something in his position. Besides, I don't know anything about patents. There is no such law in our country." After He Ming took the cigarette, he continued, "Actually, when I saw you for the first time at the Canton Fair last time, I felt that you, Manager Duan, are extraordinary, and you are definitely a person who can do great things..."

As the so-called one moment and another moment, at the Canton Fair, the two were at odds with each other, but now the situation is stronger than others, Beihe Electronics Factory wants to cooperate with Duan Yun's Tianyin Electronics Factory, this attitude is necessary when asking for help.

"Okay, okay!" Duan Yun interrupted He Ming, and asked, "Just tell me clearly, what's the matter with you this time?"

"Manager Duan, our Beihe Electronics Factory is also a provincial key old brand electronics factory with a history of 30 years. The Beihe brand radios produced before are the best-selling products in the country. The quality of the products is absolutely unquestionable..." He Ming swallowed, and continued Said: "It's just that in the past few years, if our factory's products have fallen behind and sales have dropped, our factory leaders have always wanted to develop new products, but without the technology and talents in this area, we used to imitate your factory to produce subwoofers. The stereo has been tested for a while in Beihe, and the sales volume is very average, so this time I brought it to the Canton Fair, thinking that I can earn some foreign exchange..."

"Your behavior is copyright infringement..." Duan Yun frowned when he heard this.

"I know this. In fact, this thing is nothing. In the past, other electronics factories imitated our factory's recorder products and sold them on the market..."

"So you think it's okay for your factory to imitate our subwoofer products and sell them on the market?" Duan Yun looked a little serious, and then said: "You are right, there is indeed no patent law in our country, but very It’s coming soon. If you read the internal references of newspapers, you should know that the country is now drafting a patent law. You have taken advantage of it for a while, but you can’t never pay the price. Once the domestic patent law is launched in the future, we will You can take your factory to court."

In fact, Duan Yun also knows that in the first few years when the domestic patent law was promulgated, the actual effect was not great, and Beihe Electronics Factory is a large state-owned factory. It would be very difficult for Duan Yun to sue their factory. At most, it's a fine that doesn't hurt or itch, that's all.

But on the bright side, Duan Yun must protect the rights and interests of his own factory, at least not to make the other party feel that infringement is indifferent.

"I know this..." He Ming said with some embarrassment.

"I don't pursue your factory's responsibility, but it's because we are all Chinese companies. If it were a foreign manufacturer, I would definitely sue him for bankruptcy!" Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.

"Manager Duan is still open-minded." He Ming praised repeatedly after hearing the words.

Now He Ming is asking Duan Yun, so no matter what Duan Yun says now, He Ming will follow suit and will not refute at all.

"Then tell me, what do you want from me this time?" Duan Yun saw that He Ming had a good attitude, so he asked.

"That's it. Manager Duan, don't you have a lot of foreign trade orders at the Canton Fair this time? Foreign companies have high requirements for product quality and the delivery period is short. I think our factory can help you manufacture a batch of products here. I don't know. Is Manager Duan interested?" Seemingly afraid that Duan Yun would not agree, He Ming quickly took out a watch from his pocket, handed it to Duan Yun, and said: "The quality of electrical products produced by our factory is absolutely guaranteed, and we are 2000 A large factory with many people produced a batch of these speakers some time ago, the production speed is very fast, and it can definitely guarantee delivery on time..."

"Eh..." Duan Yun took the list, glanced at it, and frowned slightly. After a while, he said to He Ming: "Your OEM price for a speaker excluding the cost of raw materials is 200 yuan?"

"This price is already very fair, and our utility bills and labor expenses are not small..."

"Let me tell you this, there are quite a few companies that come to our factory to seek OEMs. Some of them are provincial-level state-owned factories just like your Beihe Electronics Factory. Their prices are much cheaper than yours. ..." Duan Yun said after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Impossible, this kind of subwoofer speaker is very troublesome to make, and there are many processes. The price of our factory is already very low..."

"With all due respect, your factory still needs to strengthen control in terms of product costs. If you can't adapt to market development, you will be eliminated by the market sooner or later." Duan Yun said, took out a copy of the document from the desk drawer, got up After handing it to He Ming, he said, "This is the OEM contract I signed with Shenzhen Huafa Electronics Factory. They are also a state-owned enterprise, and the factory has only been established for less than three years. The OEM price is half of yours. How do you explain this?" ?”

"Huh?" He Ming was stunned for a moment, and after taking a look at the contract, he immediately said in surprise: "5 sets of subwoofer speakers, this is impossible..."

"If your factory is willing to reduce the OEM price to half, I can cooperate with your factory. Not only have I won a large number of foreign trade orders at the Canton Fair this time, but I also have many domestic orders. If you want to cooperate with us for a long time If the electronics factory cooperates, I need to see your sincerity." Duan Yun said to He Ming seriously.

"This... I need to contact our factory manager..." He Ming said after thinking for a moment.

"I have a phone here that can make outside calls, and you can call your factory manager right now." Duan Yun said to He Ming with a smile.
