Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 417 The Prelude to a New Era (Fourth update, please subscribe)

As the New Year's bell rings, under the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the sequelae of the economic crisis twenty years ago - the tariff barriers under trade protection have finally been torn apart. Although they have not been torn to pieces, they have been A big hole was opened.

It is this opening that has brought an unprecedented outlet to Nanyang - just as Li Yi'an predicted last year - Nanyang's external exports will reach a blowout state.

Almost every day, new factories are put into operation, and factories of all sizes have greatly prospered Nanyang's economy. A few years ago, the industrial park was still an empty area of ​​buildings. It has long been full of factories and prosperous industries.

After the red sun leaps over the horizon from the distance every day, it doesn't take much time. Thousands of pedestrians emerge from the residential areas between the factory areas, bustling with people walking along the roads towards their respective destinations. Suddenly the car bell rings, and countless bicycles shuttle back and forth on the road. When the bus pulls into the station, people waiting for the bus will rush on and squeeze into the bus. The same is true for subway stations.

Rush, rush, rush...

This character is destined to become this year's "Chinese Character of the Year". Everyone is rushing, rushing for time, rushing to produce, rushing to make money, rushing to work, rushing...

In a word, "time is money, efficiency is life." This is true for workers, and even more so for businessmen.

From obtaining bank investment at the beginning of the year to opening the factory, Song Yunchu almost lived and ate in the factory in the past period. He purchased equipment, recruited workers, and commissioned the factory to produce accessories. He was busy with all these simple tasks. Fortunately, the financial director was assigned by the bank. , and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry also provided a lot of assistance. Of course, the biggest help came from Quanye Bank, which not only sent a financial manager but also helped a lot in product development, production, and sales.

Otherwise, we don’t know how long it will take for the factory to be put into operation.

"Chief Ma, is there such a good thing?"

In fact, this is also to ensure investment - after all, most companies receive bank loans or even direct investment. This also accelerates the development of enterprises and promotes economic development.

The reason for this emotion is that the sales manager recommended by the bank made the factory receive orders from Kaike City and other companies as soon as it was put into production. Now we just need to wait for market feedback. Of course, we also need to further develop the market.

Ma Zhihao is the sales section chief recommended by the bank. He once worked in the sales department of Qihang Company. Qihang... was a subsidiary in North Borneo. In fact, this is also a characteristic of Nanyang - large companies are like training courses for corporate backbones. Tens of thousands of people join the company every year, and tens of thousands of employees go to other companies under the recommendation of banks or even companies. Small company, factory work.

Song Yunchu said in surprise:

Ma Zhihao on the other end of the phone seemed calm, but he was still a little excited.

"Factory director? I am Ma Zhihao."

The market for expensive small appliances like this is very limited in Nanyang, and the largest market is definitely in the United States.

Nowadays, Nanyang has even formed a "fake outsourcing system" centered on the Borneo consortium. Small and medium-sized enterprises are not the kind that are built from scratch. Many of them are the backbone of large enterprises. After obtaining permission from the company, they go out to work alone with their subordinates. The R&D, production, and sales of this small company are all affected by the large company, and the financial director is assigned by the bank affiliated to the large company.

And Ma Zhihao is definitely a good hand in product sales. Basically, Song Yunchu does not need to care about sales issues, allowing him to concentrate on factory production and management.

So we have to break into the US market no matter what.

"Ah, Manager Ma, what's the matter?"

"Okay, the factory is finally on track today!"

"Thanks to the sales section manager recommended by the bank!"

Putting the "Langwei" electric shaver on the sample rack, Song Yunchu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The production and delivery of the first batch of 5000 "Langwei" electric shavers meant that the factory was on track. .

At this moment, the phone rang. Song Yunchu immediately picked up the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Director Li, that's right. When I was at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry just now, I heard news that if we seize the opportunity, we may directly enter the U.S. market."

Another type is Song Yunchu who seemed to start from scratch, but in the process of starting up, he received help from banks and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to provide him with professional talent support, and those people were also in large companies, which allowed the company to avoid the process of starting from scratch. The cost of trial and error in stepping on minefields.

“The focus is still on the American market!”

"Go directly to the U.S. market?"

Finally, at the end of February, the first batch of cordless shavers were produced, packed and delivered to sellers.

This is not just coming to you as he thinks. Just now he was thinking about how to enter the US market? No, the opportunity will come in the blink of an eye.

Ma Zhihao asked:

"Director, do you know Chicago?"

"I know, how can I not know? Look at what you said, Chicago is the "Steel Capital". Who doesn't know about it?" Song Yunchu replied.

Today's Chicago is not a rust district in the 21st century. It is a prosperous metropolis that is no less prosperous than New York, the steel capital of the world!

"I'm not talking about steel, I'm talking about the home appliances and household products exhibition!"

Ma Zhihao said.

"What? Are you an exhibition dedicated to home appliances and household products?"

Song Yunchu asked.

Ma Zhihao continued;

"Yes, it is this exhibition. This exhibition has been established since 28, that is, it was suspended for a few years during the war. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry is planning to organize a group of companies to participate in the exhibition with our Nanyang household appliances, so, I We plan to apply for our factory as well. Our electric shaver is the world’s first cordless shaver. If we go there, it will definitely attract the attention of the market!"

"This is a good thing, Chief Ma, thanks to your busy schedule."

Song Yunchu paused and then said;

"What are the chances of us attending the meeting?"

"They should be inseparable!"

Ma Zhihao went on to explain:

"The attitude of the ministry is very clear. "Building a country through trade" is a basic national policy. To make money in the sea, you must use the best products. Our products are unique. Several division chiefs in the ministry also think that we should go there."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Song Yunchu thought for a while and said.

"In this case, you pay 2000 yuan first... No, I will prepare 5000 yuan to participate in this exhibition. When the time comes, we will go there together."

In fact, Song Yunchu had no idea how much it would cost to participate in the exhibition, but he knew that going to the United States would definitely cost money, but as long as he could open up the American market, it would not be as simple as making money; Surf the golden tide!

"If the money is not enough, I will see if I can raise another amount of money. In short, the US market must be opened!"

Song Yunchu said.

"What, factory director, are you still worried about not having enough money?"

Ma Zhihao asked with a smile.

"I must be worried. Those who go to the United States are all well-known and large companies. Small businesses like ours will definitely have a lot of money to spend there. The poor are rich and have a wide range of needs."

Song Yunchu said.

Ma Zhihao laughed and said:

"You can rest assured. The ministry has already decided. The ministry will be responsible for basic expenses. The ministry will also coordinate with airlines to provide exhibitors with the most favorable air tickets. Moreover, the organizers of the United States also welcome our country's sending The exhibition group participated and provided a lot of convenience and assistance!”

“When did Americans become so nice?”

Song Yunchu asked with a frown.

Ma Zhihao explained.

"It's not that Americans have become better, it's caused by the international situation. Now Americans feel that they are the center of the world and the leader of the Western world. Naturally, they hope that the whole world will come and support them. Therefore, recent international events, big and small, can always be seen. See the presence of Americans. The United States has also organized many internal activities, which are ways for the United States to increase its influence."

Although I don’t know much about politics, if I think about it carefully, this is really the case. The United States is currently in the limelight. Americans are everywhere.

Ma Zhihao continued:

"So the United States naturally welcomes exhibitors from all countries. Our participation in the exhibition is in line with what the Americans want. Of course they will provide some conveniences."

Song Yunchu quickly said to the other end of the phone.

"That's good, that's good. This is a rare opportunity. Chief Ma, hurry up and sign up. We can't miss this opportunity."
