Rebirth 1983

Chapter 269

"That's good, that's good, that's a good plan." Chen Song clapped his hands together, boasted first, and then continued: "Director Duan, but have you ever thought about one thing, the money in our account will be less than 100 million, if we spend another 40 to advertise, we may not even be able to pay the supplier for the remaining money, and the risk will be great."

"The money has gone out, so how do we get the raw materials, and how do we start the production line without raw materials? If the capital chain breaks, our electronics factory will really die before the master is born. The products are all produced, but we are stumped by this little money. What do you think, Director Duan?"

Chen Song's words immediately changed the faces of many people present. They just heard Duan Yongping's case just now, and they only thought that the plan was advanced and novel, but they didn't expect that there was such a big hidden danger hidden in it.

"Boss, I've already considered this." Duan Yongping stood up, walked out of his seat, and started circling the conference table while talking about his plan.

"Actually, we can start bidding for CCTV advertisements first, and use the remaining money in the account to pay the supplier's deposit. In order to ensure production, I propose to use the land and equipment of the electronics factory to borrow money from the bank, and use the money from the loan to expand production."

Duan Yongping's words immediately made everyone present discuss a lot.

One of the supervisors stood up and asked, "Factory manager, when we were Red Star, the products couldn't be sold because of the loan, which dragged the factory into the abyss, resulting in so much loss, that it almost went bankrupt. Now we have another loan, just in case, I mean, in case the risk is greater..."

"You think our products can't be sold? So the loan is very likely to be repaid, right?" Duan Yongping knew what the supervisor meant.

This executive is a relatively conservative middle-level leader. After experiencing the era of red stars, he feels that running a business should be steady and steady.He was asked these two questions by Duan Yongping, and he was not very easy to answer. It is not a good thing to be pessimistic about the products of his own company before the comparative products are launched.

"It's okay, we are democratic. Say whatever you want, it's all for the good of our factory."

Chen Song comforted the supervisor and signaled him to speak freely, our factory is not one of those companies that cannot allow everyone to speak.

"Boss, factory manager. We can do it steadily. First, we will advertise on Yangcheng TV Station. The most expensive time period of Yangcheng TV station's advertisement is only 5 yuan. With 5 yuan, all the TVs in this province will broadcast this advertisement. Then we will spread the goods locally, slowly rush out of this province, open up sales, and go out step by step."

"In this way, not only can we save a lot of advertising costs, but we can also ensure that there will be some liquidity in the account, and we can also have a buffer for our factory's production. We can make steady progress, and we can take such a risky plan without taking a loan."

The supervisor did propose a more conservative and less risky plan based on Duan Yongping's plan.He spoke confidently, making many older managers around him nod in agreement.

"Not bad. It's a good plan."

Chen Song also clapped his hands and praised the other party, expressing his appreciation for him.

Because even if it was him, if he didn't have the memory of Duan Yongping's marketing of Xiaobawang in his previous life, I'm afraid the director's plan was almost the best one he could think of.

It is good to be very adventurous, but once you fail once, it is easy to fall into the abyss.

Chen Song had suffered many losses in his previous life, so most of the things he did were very basic, and he liked to play steadily.Since his rebirth, he has only ventured twice.

"The plan is good, but you may not have considered the influence of external factors. First of all, I want everyone to remember that our product is not the first in the world. To put it bluntly, our product is called imitation. The world's first product was developed by Nintendo, and it is likely to enter domestic sales soon."

"I can be sure that at this stage, Nintendo's technology is definitely better than ours, and their thought on products is definitely better than our products that can be released in less than two months. But it doesn't matter. We just want to occupy the game console market before the other party enters the domestic market, so that the other party has nowhere to go."

"So our requirement is that it must be fast. Our products are not suitable for steady development!"

What Chen Song said made him think for a while.

Although the words are not very nice, but every sentence is the truth.

Xiaobawang's current technical strength is completely inferior to Nintendo with the help of Toshiba.

The other party has hundreds of technicians, as well as the support of the top technical team in the foot basin chicken country.As for Xiaobawang, there are only two Ph.Ds dug by Duan Yongping, and a dozen masters or college students. No matter in terms of numbers or skills, they are all inferior.

"Don't be a fool, what do you think, just say it!"

The only ones here who dare to talk to Chen Song so rudely are Zhou Jinyan and Zhou Wanyan.

It was Zhou Wanyan who spoke. Looking at Chen Song's appearance, she knew that he had thought of a good plan a long time ago. Seeing his serious expression on his face, she thought it was funny, and directly interrupted his pretending.

"Then let me talk about it. First of all, I agree with Director Duan's plan. First, spend a lot of money to bid on CCTV, advertise, and hold a sales event. I think the event of this ten-thousand-million household is very good and can arouse many people's interest. As for money, loans are not impossible. Deputy Mayor Xu has already said that he will fully support our business development. Don't worry about this, I am sure I can get a super low-interest loan."

"I know that everyone is still worried about the failure of the product to be sold just now. I have done market research on this, and the crowd of Street Fighter game consoles is almost the same as ours. As many people play Street Fighter, we have as many potential customers. As long as the price is low enough, when we increase our popularity, they will definitely buy it!"

Chen Song patted the table and expressed his thoughts in detail.

"Isn't this back to the original topic? What do you think about the pricing of our products?" Zhou Jinyan finally added a word beside him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Song smiled slightly.

"How much does one of our game consoles cost? Everyone knows it, right? But do you know how much Nintendo's red and white consoles cost abroad?"

Chen Song asked a question.

"About $150." The director of the prerequisite program still said something.

It seems that he really has an in-depth understanding of the situation in this industry, and he is more enthusiastic about work than other executives present, so Chen Song can't help but look at him a few more times and keep it in his heart.

"That's right, it's about 150 U.S. dollars. Converted into RMB, it's about 500 yuan. So how low do we need to price our products?" Chen Song continued to ask everyone.

But this time no one spoke.

Chen Song stretched out four fingers: "One-fifth. We sell one-fifth of the price of the Nintendo Famicom!"

"One-fifth, that's more than 300 yuan!"

Someone had already calculated it, and pointed out three fingers to the person next door to discuss the price that Chen Song said.

Chen Song can clearly remember that in the early 90s in the previous life, the price of Xiaobawang game consoles could be five or six hundred. A few years in advance, more than 300 is almost acceptable.

This thing is destined not to be sold to children from ordinary families.

From the very beginning, game consoles were meant for the children of the first group of families who got rich.

"Boss, I think this price is just right. We can make some money, and it's much cheaper than the Famicom, and it's completely competitive. Now I think that as long as it becomes famous, we won't underestimate the Nintendo Famicom even if it enters China now!"

Duan Yongping flattered him, but he was sincere and did not lie.
