Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

  Chapter 162 Price Level

"I discussed it with my dad. He felt that doing this is much better than what I did before doing exhaust fans." Lin Guangrong smiled on his face, "He is quite active and helped me inspect several factories. There are two. I think it's quite suitable, take a look, Master?"

  Lin Guangrong took a piece of paper, which wrote the current situation of the two factories.

  Guo Xiang took it over.

  This is an agricultural machinery factory with a centralized system, and there are about a hundred people now. Because there are many large-scale state-owned machinery factories here, the sales of farm tools produced by small agricultural machinery factories are very poor. It was originally a collective enterprise without state support, and it gradually collapsed.

  There is also a manufacturer of old-fashioned irons. There are only about 30 people. Because the products are outdated, there is no market, and they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

  Guo Xiang thinks an iron factory is more appropriate. After all, it is a small household appliance. If you make money in the future, you can also make irons, steam irons, and hang irons for later generations.

   Although there are many large electrical appliances factories, such as TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., but Xiaojia power plants are relatively few. After all, these are not necessities of life.

  Although it is not a big home appliance, it is related to the status of a family in the society. If there is a home with a big home appliance, it will be very face-saving. Therefore, although the home appliances are also expensive, some people still buy them.

  However, as people's living standards improve in the future, small appliances will also appear in every family, and the market is huge.

   "I think this iron factory can do it." Guo Xiang pointed to the information on the paper and said: "The small factory is also in line with our current early stage scale, and the contracting pressure is also small."

   "But the available resources of this factory are limited." Lin Guangrong frowned.

   "That's okay, we don't have to make some things by ourselves. For example, the shell of the induction cooker, we can find other factories to order, and we can master the core technology and core materials by ourselves." Guo Xiang said.

   "That's true." Lin Guangrong nodded. Just like their current pumping unit, some parts are not produced by the petroleum machinery factory, but some small factories do.

  "The main reason is that the working principle of the induction cooker is clear? Can the raw materials be purchased?" Guo Xiang said.

"Don't worry, I also went to Taiqing University to find my uncle for this. He is a teacher there. He teaches materials engineering and he has a lot of research on this. When I look at our design, I think it’s a good idea. I gave it. I have a lot of suggestions." Lin Guangrong said.

   "That's good, the technology is left to you. I will be responsible for the investment, as well as the future marketing work." Guo Xiang said.

  With previous experience in the marketing of sanitary napkins, Guo Xiang feels that it can also be promoted through advertising.

  There are also sales promotion activities held by many shopping malls in later generations, lucky draws, etc., can be used.

   "By the way, have you noticed that our induction cooker is flat, so we need to use a special pan." Guo Xiang said again.

   "If you don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention." Lin Guangrong nodded, "What should I do, there seems to be no pan on the market."

"So we can sell pots again!" Guo Xiang laughed. "Find a kitchenware factory to order the pans and sell them in major shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives. The pans can not only be used in induction cookers, but also the coal we usually use. Both furnaces and charcoal furnaces can be used, and the market is huge."

   "Indeed, it's a good idea." Lin Guangrong's eyes were bright, and his mother was still smart.

   "For the sake of publicity at the beginning of the period, we can send the pot, just the cheaper thin iron pot with a layer of stainless steel. That kind of pot is low cost, but it heats up very quickly, so it is very suitable for hot pot." Guo Xiang said.

   "Yeah, you can also make hot pot!" Lin Guangrong's eyes lit up, "Nowadays all hot pots are charcoal-burning. Not to mention the trouble. If it doesn't burn well, there will be smoke. This induction cooker is too convenient to make hot pot."

   "So, do you think there will be a market?" Guo Xiang smiled.

  Lin Guangrong was immediately full of confidence, "There will definitely be!"

  "Next, let's estimate how much money will be invested, as well as the cost and price of the induction cooker. It can't be too high. If it is too high, no one will buy it." Guo Xiang said.

   "I really did some research on this." Lin Guangrong took out a piece of paper, "Mother, look at the price of some electrical appliances commonly used in families."

  "Permanent bicycle, 28 bars, 235 yuan. Universal brand radio, 90 yuan. Bailan single-cylinder washing machine 199 yuan, double-cylinder washing machine 385 yuan..."

   "Let me see." Guo Xiang was a little surprised, the washing machine is so expensive? Later generations of fully automatic washing machines were only a few hundred yuan.

   But so, after all, the output is low and the cost is high in this period. Unlike later generations, where there are so many manufacturers, advanced technology and common materials, the cost is naturally low.

"It's still cheap. The imported Toshiba semi-automatic twin-cylinder is 470 yuan, and the Guangdong Weili brand is 428 yuan. Watching TV, the imported color TV is 1,070 yuan for 14 inches, 18 inches 1480, 20 inches 1650. Domestic 18 inches 1330, 20 inches 1500." Lin Guangrong continued.

  "So expensive?" Guo Xiang was surprised. Now the average worker's salary is only thirty or forty yuan a month. These are so expensive and it will take a few years before they can afford it. But it seems that many families still buy it, right?

  It seems that some people are willing to spend money.

"There are more expensive ones. A Qindao Liebherr refrigerator, 3780 yuan, can be used to build a two-story small house." Lin Guangrong sighed, "but this should be a million yuan households can afford it. ."

"In addition, there are more than 200 single-channel radios, 400 dual-channels, and 155 vertical electric fans... These are not necessities of life. They are so expensive, but many people buy them." Lin Guangrong was very excited. "So I think we can definitely do it."

  Guo Xiang nodded, and looked at Lin Guangrong a little bit admiringly. He didn’t expect the little fat man to be very business-minded, and he did such a good job in market research!

  It seems that there is nothing wrong with finding him as a partner.

   "It's really good. Kobayashi is a material for business." Guo Xiang sighed, "I will design the appearance of the induction cooker in a while and take a good look."

   "Eat first." Gu Zhennan tapped on the table, "The dishes are cold."

  Guo Xiang and Lin Guangrong smiled embarrassedly, they were so excited that they forgot to eat.

  After eating, Gu Zhennan took away the bowls and chopsticks, and Guo Xiang and Lin Guangrong talked enthusiastically.

  "Why don't we go to the iron factory in the afternoon?" Lin Guangrong said.

   "Okay." Guo Xiang nodded, "Your suspension of pay has been completed?"

"It's all over to my dad, and he will do it for me." Lin Guangrong said, "My dad said it's okay for me to go outside when I was young. It's not a big deal to go back again."

  Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows. It seems that the little fat man’s house is still a bit of a avenue, otherwise it would be so easy for people who came out to go back.

   Gu Zhennan couldn’t go with Guo Xiang and the others when he was going to work, so he told Lin Guangrong, “Go out and take care of your sister and don’t let her fall and freeze.”

   "Don't worry, Master!" Lin Guangrong said loudly.

  　 Yesterday, everyone gave me a lot of support and made it into the sales list. Thank you so much. However, there are not many manuscripts saved, so I will not be able to update the manuscripts next time. I will try my best to save the manuscripts and strive for the next update. Thanks again!
