The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 105 The latest market
Although he didn't know who Zhao Ming was, but his elder sister cared so much, Cheng Yuan immediately put on a smile and looked surprised, and said, "So it's Brother Zhao Ming, I've admired him for a long time."

Zhao Ming jokingly said, "You know me? You even said you've admired me for a long time."

Cheng Yuanjian was somewhat familiar with the name Zhao Ming, but how could he know who it was.Spouting in my heart: I'm just being polite, who knows you?If it wasn't for my elder sister's face, I wouldn't bother to talk to you.

But he still hurriedly said: "Uh, it's considered acquaintance, sister, let me introduce you, old man."

Cheng Qingqing can be said to be the most familiar with Cheng Yuanjian. Knowing that this guy might not know Zhao Ming, in order to prevent Zhao Ming from getting angry, she said: "This is my neighbor, and it is also the first department store to be established. Zhao Ming. He is still..."

Speaking of Zhao Ming's glorious deeds, Cheng Qingqing just couldn't finish talking, and kept talking with an excited expression on his face.But no one was listening to her words, and everyone, including Cheng Yuanjian, was dumbfounded.

Is that the one who recently appeared on the radio and in the newspapers?Zhao Ming, no wonder this name is so familiar.

Hell, setting up the first department store, there are several stores alone.He also won the recognition of the city government compound and the title of newcomer king of the trade union. Is this going against the sky?
Thinking of Zhao Ming's identity as a business tycoon, Cheng Yuanjian suddenly had hope in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, you are a business tycoon, can you..."

Before Zhao Ming opened his mouth, Cheng Qingqing refused for him: "Don't even think about it, Brother Xiaoming doesn't have any extra money to help you. But you are lucky, he can come here, it will be the greatest help to you .”

Hearing that there is no money, Cheng Yuanjian is disappointed again, how can he help without money?He runs a store and doesn't need our farm tools.

Zhao Ming said with a smile: "Actually, if my store doesn't have a fixed manufacturer, maybe I can cooperate with you and let my store sell your agricultural tools. But it's a pity that the previous source of goods has been determined, and all of them have been signed. The contract cannot help you in this regard."

Cheng Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm very grateful for your coming. In fact, I also know that the factory is almost finished. I'm exhausted physically and mentally. I'm afraid it won't be the end of the month. I might not be able to maintain it in a few days."

When Cheng Qingqing heard this, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.Although she looked fierce when she saw Cheng Yuanjian, Zhao Ming, who was familiar with her, understood that this was a sign of her concern for her brother.

Zhao Ming didn't say much about this, but asked, "Can I have a look at the samples of farm tools produced by your factory?"

Cheng Yuanjian pointed to the farm tools on the ground, and said, "It's all in this yard, and there are some in the factory, but they are all rough, and we dare not finalize them without receiving an order."

Zhao Ming nodded, grabbed a handful of iron catalpa casually, and looked at it seriously.The workers looked at it very casually, but they didn't have any attitude towards Zhao Ming's inspection.It's just that they think the product is fine, mainly because there is no order.

Holding the iron catalpa, Zhao Ming tapped it, put it to his ear to listen to the sound from time to time, and scratched it with his fingers.

The workers didn't bother him. Cheng Qingqing didn't understand these things, but she sat obediently and didn't bother him.On the contrary, there was a strange look in Cheng Yuanjian's eyes. Zhao Ming's inspection method was very professional, just like an old worker.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think highly of Zhao Ming.He thought that he was an intermediate engineer, and he was No. 1 with a perfect score in the trade union exam.If this kind of talent has no level, it would be really funny.

"Brother Zhao, our products are fine, the main issue is the order. If you have any friends who also open stores, why not introduce them to them." Cheng Yuanjian is very confident in his products.

Cheng Qingqing scolded: "Brother Xiao Ming runs a store, and the other colleagues are all competitors. Where did you get your friends from? If you talk nonsense again, I won't be polite."

Cheng Yuanjian pouted, who is your relative?It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay, and her arms are turned outward.

Zhao Ming also finished the inspection at this time, and he already knew it in his heart.Regarding Cheng Yuanjian's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The current farm tool market is not saturated yet, don't you want to know why you can't get orders?"

Cheng Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head, "If I knew, I wouldn't have to sit here and bask in the sun."

Zhao Mingdao: "Your factory should have had a fixed source of customers before, so you can't say that there are no orders. You only need to find these repeat customers, but they don't buy your account. You didn't think about it carefully? "

Cheng Yuanjian frowned, and his eyes became serious.The workers behind him also looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, they had thought about this problem, but they couldn't come up with a result.

Finally, Cheng Yuan said: "At first we thought that our competitors were doing too well, but later we learned that the quality of agricultural tools purchased by customers from competitors seems to be not as good as ours, and the price is not as affordable as ours. We really can't figure out what's going on."

Zhao Ming showed a smile on his face, and said, "Is it true that their quality is not as good as yours?"

Cheng Yuanjian and the others said in unison: "Of course!" On this point, they are still very confident.

Zhao Ming shook his head and said: "Then I can only tell you that the reason why you judge others as inferior to you is probably because you look at people with old eyes. I just saw your board, and it is somewhat different from some iron tools in the urban area. , How dare you say that you are doing the best? The materials you use are indeed the best steel, but unfortunately the products you make are not as good as other people’s products, and they are not very durable.”

Hearing that their products were not durable, Cheng Yuanjian and the others were not happy, and their faces changed drastically.In particular, Cheng Yuanjian said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao, are you sure you read it correctly? We know our own products, and they are absolutely fine. Previous customers have agreed after using them."

Zhao Ming shrugged and said, "Then how long ago was your 'before'?"

Seeing that Cheng Yuan was at a loss for words, the workers behind him also immediately lost their temper.

Zhao Ming continued: "About half a year ago, there were some changes in the steel for new agricultural tools. The forging of steel not only reflects the quality from the quenching and material billets. The number of forgings is also similar, and there is no advantage. Therefore Forging methods and the mixing and matching of steel billets and materials appeared, and the combination of the two made the manufactured products different from the previous iron tools."

The faces of the workers were full of disbelief, while Cheng Yuanjian frowned slightly and said, "It shouldn't be possible. How can there be any changes in the forging method? The mix and match of materials has been specified. If changes are made, Maybe the nature of iron tools will change."

Zhao Ming said with a smile: "It's nothing. Your iron tools are made of ordinary stainless steel. This is also the reason why you dare to compete with other factories. But unfortunately, there are still some shortcomings in terms of hardness and corrosion resistance."

Cheng Yuanjian and the others still wanted to defend themselves, but Zhao Ming knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he simply took out a book to introduce the recent reform of iron tools in the market.He handed the book to Cheng Yuanjian, and then waited silently.

Cheng Yuan looked at the book with a puzzled expression on his face, and the workers behind him all came over one after another, poking their heads around to read it.

"Old Zhang, what are you looking at? You can't read."

"I can't read if I can't read? Isn't there a picture on it?"

I haven't finished the book, but after reading the introduction of the latest stainless steel material, Cheng Yuanjian's expression turned ugly.

After a long time, he finally closed the book, sighed, and said, "No wonder the old factory manager had such a weird face when he left. No wonder the previous customers declined our farm tools. It turned out that we were working behind closed doors and couldn't keep up with it." It’s time to hit the market.”

The faces of the workers changed drastically when they heard the words. What the factory manager said, could it be that their factory is really hopeless?They are waiting to start work, and then take the money to go back to celebrate the New Year.If they closed down, wouldn't they have worked so long for nothing?
Thinking of this, everyone's faces turned pale.

Cheng Yuanjian's face was also extremely pale, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

Seeing this, Cheng Qingqing's eyes were full of worry. She tugged at Zhao Ming's sleeve and opened her mouth, as if to beg.

Zhao Ming gave her a reassuring look, then turned his head and said, "Actually, the problem with your product is not too big, as long as you make certain changes."

Cheng Yuan smiled wryly when he heard the words: "It is extremely difficult to make changes. Even if we follow the trend of the market now, it takes a little time to explore the production of the latest steel products, and there is no time to manufacture suitable stainless steel materials. "

Research and development cannot be successful in a short while. Even the steel products that are already on the market are the secrets of others. It will take time for them to obtain or develop them.

But what they lack most now is time.The Chinese New Year is almost here, and this month is almost half a month away. How can they make new products in time, let alone get orders.

Before the end of this month, if they cannot get orders, they will have no money to start work, let alone go home for the New Year.Therefore, they seem to be the only way to die now.

Zhao Ming shrugged and said: "With your current level, it is really difficult to develop new steel products in a short period of time, and even if you have developed the latest products in the market, how can you keep up with the new year when the year is approaching?" Those established factories compete?"

Cheng Yuanjian and the others all looked bitter. We know this is true, but you don't need to say it, right?
