Chapter 544 Good News

Feng Zhiyao heard from his father that the matter of Chen's Capital might just be a budding phenomenon, and the big drama is coming later. He thought for a while and said, "My father mentioned it."

"What did he say?" Lu Feng said with interest: "You don't need to repeat the original words, you can briefly summarize."

"Watch a play!" Feng Zhiyao concluded.

Lu Feng raised his brows. It seems that he made the right choice to wait a little longer. Su Yourong is very smart, and Lu Feng can indeed get a certain amount of money to help her.

The problem is that the financial circle in a place often relies not on money, but on relationships. Mr. Chen's most powerful method is not money, let alone Chen's capital, but her connections.

If no one suppresses her connections, she can mobilize funds ten times higher than her own. Chen's capital is close to tens of billions, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Talk to your father a lot recently. Not only the mother is worried, but the father is also worried about my son traveling thousands of miles!" Lu Feng patted Feng Zhiyao on the shoulder and said, "You have grown up, and you should know how to be with you. Say how precious it is."

Feng Zhiyao nodded heavily, and said slightly moved: "I know!"

After returning to the factory for a few days, Lu Feng took a rest and held meetings. Judging from the current product lineup of Jiafeng Electronics, it is all supported by a single product of VCD. Although the VCD market is expanding rapidly and further eroding the video tape market, but Piracy is still on the rise.

With the launch of a new generation of TVs with larger sizes, clearer screens, and further improvements in display technology, Weipuda's sales fell further.

It can still be sold now because of Lu Feng's early layout in the township market. The sales in big cities are really not good. Don't underestimate the changes in the short three years from 1991 to 1993.

In the past three years, domestic GDP has blown out, and the currency has depreciated rapidly due to some major international events. However, the per capita income of urban and rural areas has been steadily increasing, especially in big cities.

The economy has passed the most dangerous period, and both feet are officially on the ground. Domestic industrial upgrading and inflation have led to a decline in the price of electronic products. People have money and want to buy something good.

The sales volume of Weipuda has declined, and the two products of tape machines and radios have also been suppressed. The monthly sales volume of radios is less than [-] units. The profit is thin and the sales volume is low. For the entire enterprise, it is better than nothing.

This kind of single product supports the entire company's product line, which is very dangerous. On the other hand, the factory in Suzhou cannot produce at full capacity for a long time because of the low market demand.

One or two months is not a big problem. If it takes longer, the salary of the employees will become a burden. If there are a large number of layoffs, you don't need to ask. Huang Youwei will talk to Lu Feng the next day.

The phone was on speakerphone, Lu Feng leaned on the chair expressionless, thinking.

"Mr. Lu, the market of Weipuda is saturated at present. Even if we open up other markets, we still can't sell it. Our current head product is still the Golden Leopard VCD." Zhu Lidong was also a little worried, and said: "There is no way in the market , can only wait for the R&D company to come out with new products.”

"How about the overseas market? This area needs to be laid out in advance." Lu Feng said.

"I talked to you about the overseas market some time ago, and you also said that we can't go out, and there are too many uncertainties in the overseas market, the procedures are very troublesome, and there are quality inspections!" Zhu Lidong thought of those approval procedures. Two big.

"Let's get out of the export agency."

"Agent? The profit is terribly low. Those companies have very high profit points. I heard that for some medium-sized enterprises, there is not even a point of profit, and they can't even put a brand logo on them. They can only write which country the goods come from." Zhu Lidong sighed and said, "With that little profit, it won't be enough to fill your teeth in one year."

"Of course I know. The problem is that I need to raise workers. I can't lay off a large number of employees. Several assembly lines are not open now. If they can sell something, they can stick to it. The key is to make the company turn around. This year is special. year."

Zhu Lidong is even more worried. The export payment of this product is very slow. It needs to pass the quality inspection of those companies first, then load it on the ship, unload it after arriving at the place, and the company there will carry out the transaction, and then enter the link of payment.

The money goes to the agency company first, and then they peel off a layer, and then give the money to the production company. This set of procedures is normal, and it has been a good sale for half a year.

If the product is not easy to sell, it will be even slower.

There is also a risk that agency companies run away. There are too many agency companies now. They are agents for many export companies, and the one-time payment sometimes amounts to hundreds of millions of funds.

Many agency companies directly take the money and go overseas, leading to this kind of agency export model, and now people are avoiding it.

The risk is all one's own, most of the profits are taken away by the other party, and there are still cases of no income.

Those who make this kind of overseas list are either trustworthy people, or the company really can't resist. Make a list, then take the bill to the bank for pledge, and exchange for a sum of cash. After half a year of betting, the company will not have the money , can also survive.

"Mr. Lu, if you want to do it, you can try it. I think the chance of being scammed is very high." Zhu Lidong reminded: "Lenovo has been scammed before, and almost didn't get the money back."

Lu Feng doesn't know much about the current overseas export. Back then, he only learned a few words from some old businessmen, which was very confusing. Sometimes, it was not a business, but a robbery!
There used to be a joke that the risk of finding an agency was higher than the risk of smuggling.

Lu Feng knew that this was a blue ocean. There was no market for Weipuda in China, but there was a great market abroad. In poverty-stricken places such as Asan and Africa, black and white TVs were all high-end products.

With the upgrading of the industry, the supply of various accessories and raw materials has become very cheap. Since the beginning of this year, the cost price of Weipuda's [-]-inch TV can be reduced to less than [-] yuan.

Lu Feng is still considering the pros and cons. If you go to an export agency company, the probability of being cheated is very high, but Jiafeng Electronics must go out.

The domestic market is one way, and foreign trade is the other, neither of which can be abandoned.

Lu Feng thought for a while, then called Zhu Lidong again, and asked him if he knew someone who was an export trade agent. After Zhu Lidong heard this, he already knew in his heart that Lu Feng was determined to do it.

Zhu Lidong doesn't know any agents, but he knows that as long as Lu Feng is willing to find them, he can attend a few banquets, parties and other messy occasions.

Lu Feng had met those people in such occasions all the year round, but he just lost their business cards casually.

Lu Feng was still weighing the pros and cons when the phone on the desk rang, he picked it up and said, "Who is it?"

"Guess what good news I have for you?" Jiang Xiaoyan's voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited.

"What good news?" Lu Feng wondered.

"Guess what, great news!" Jiang Xiaoyan's voice was full of joy.

"Has the factory received a big order?"

"No, it has nothing to do with money, guess again!"

"You're pregnant?" Lu Feng teased, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

"You're not here, who am I going to conceive? I didn't speak properly, I was very happy..."

"Oh, oh, it's my fault. I'm joking with you. Tell me, what's the good news?" Lu Feng cleared his throat and asked seriously.

"I went for a checkup, and my body recovered very well. The doctor said it was unbelievable. It will be May soon, and I will be fine after another month." Jiang Xiaoyan wiped her tears as she spoke.

She was so happy, no one knew how much darkness she had gone through alone, and finally saw the light at this moment, and finally let out the breath in her heart.

"Why are you crying again?"

"Happy, I'm pregnant this year, I'm going to your house for the New Year, sitting on your kang, I want to eat eight hot dishes!" Jiang Xiaoyan choked with sobs.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat a full banquet, and when the time comes, pull up a banner saying that you are pregnant, and the whole county will advertise, let's advertise on TV." Lu Feng said with a smile.

"Where is someone like you, pregnant with a child and still appearing on TV?" Jiang Xiaoyan laughed, and thought again: "Tell me, is the first child a son?"

"It's fine if it's mine, don't think so much, don't be so burdened, everything is fate." Lu Feng comforted.

Jiang Xiaoyan's words revealed a determination to give Lu Feng a son. Every generation has something deeply rooted in it.

Lu Feng couldn't say that she was wrong, he just said that the age, environment, and atmosphere she grew up in had penetrated into her body and mind!
Not to mention Jiang Xiaoyan, why are we not a product of the times?
Lu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "I'll go back tomorrow and let them buy tickets later. The company's affairs are almost settled."

"Really? Then I'll clean up the house at night. During this time, I'm busy with things in the factory, and I have to teach a lot of homework. The house is a bit messy..." Jiang Xiaoyan was very happy, already thinking about what to eat tomorrow.

They chatted a lot, basically about trivial matters, what happened to whoever was in the factory, who was gossip in the cosmetics city, she chattered endlessly about her life alone with Lu Feng.

"I'm going to eat, see you tomorrow." Lu Feng finished talking and hung up the phone.

Jiang Xiaoyan put down the phone, read the hospital's checklist again, and ran upstairs like a little girl, shouting: "Duo Duo, mom will take you to eat your favorite KFC, let's go, yes I have to tell Fengxia."

Lu Feng ordered people to buy air tickets, and sat down to eat in the private room of the cafeteria. Halfway through the meal, Zhang Fengxia walked in, her expression was not very emotional.

He glanced at Lu Feng, sat down and smiled, and said, "Miss Xiaoyan is recovering well, congratulations."

"Congratulations? You said it as if I was going to be a father. Besides, I am already a father." Lu Feng said casually while eating: "Leave the affairs of the factory to you. I will go back tomorrow. For a while, I plan to try overseas export."

"Oh!" Zhang Fengxia just said, and there was no other sound.
