Return To 1990

After dinner, Lu Feng convened a meeting with people from the overseas trade department. At present, there are more than 30 people in the overseas trade department of the group, and the team is still relatively small. Lu Feng attaches great importance to this department. This is the future international marketing department.

If Jiafeng Electronics opens branches in other countries, it will all belong to the international department, and the current person in charge is a vice president of the marketing department.

The international market needs someone who understands international trade very well. The first thing Lu Feng thought of was Su Yourong, but it's a pity that someone like her will never be able to use it for himself.

In the conference room, Lu Feng looked at the dozen or so people in front of him and asked, "How is your contact with those companies in Xiangjiang? Have you been smooth?"

"At present, there is already an export direction. Although these companies are not very cooperative, especially when I go to talk, when I meet with those bosses, they... they all scold you." The head of the international marketing department looked awkwardly. Lu Feng said: "It's very rude to speak. Anyway, I was scolding, and this matter was settled."

"Just set it up, scold it if you scold it. In the list of export goods, include vcd, radios, tape players, TV sets, home appliances, etc., let them find the market first, and after the market is found, place an order for the factory." Lu Feng moved towards Everyone said: "My request to you is that this year, I will mainly track international trade in goods. I will find out which country these goods are sold to, which company they are in, and how the local sales are."

"Our current export approval has been passed, but the quality standards of electronic products in the United States have improved. Our original technical indicators of Vipoda did not meet the import standards, but the new TV sets have reached European standards. "

"Other products have different standards. Some countries can enter, and some countries can't. They told me that most of the last batch of products were sold to Africa. At present, our products are not in the international market."

It is indeed Africa!

In the 1990s, Africa's GDP growth rate was not bad. Some African countries are considered leaders in developing countries and have great consumption potential. The import and export restrictions are not as strict as those of developed countries. Even in the 1990s, some people called for the rise of Africa, but it's a pity short-lived.

Because the product is only in Africa, so many manufacturers compete for this market, and the sales volume is limited. Fortunately, the Golden Leopard vcd is still more advanced and more competitive in the market.

"The main direction for the first half of this year is to connect African companies that mainly buy our products, and at the same time to find new buyers on a global scale, and to urge partners such as Golden Cube and Beechcraft Group to vigorously develop new Customers, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Asan." Lu Feng instructed: "Expanding the market, especially the vcd industry, is a very good breakthrough."

"Mr. Lu, we don't know much about the international situation, and our staff..." The person in charge of the international marketing department looked embarrassed.

"In the past few months, we will expand the manpower. You can go to the talent reserve center to select some relevant majors for training, and you can ask the personnel department to recruit some related practitioners.

Another thing is, when you go to the partner company, pay more attention. If there is a suitable one, persuade them to come to work with us. "

Lu Feng said to the crowd, "Understood?"

Everyone quickly said that they understood that this is the consistent style of Jiafeng Electronics. No matter who is in the corner, as long as the person has the ability, they can dig hard, and even subordinate companies sometimes poach each other.

"Let's do it first, before the new year, it's best to place a batch of orders to the factory, and the first batch of goods will be shipped in the spring." Lu Feng gave them a timeline, stood up and said, "Hurry up and get busy, what's the situation? Tell me right away."

Lu Feng knows that currently only the African market is open in the international market, and other regions and countries in the Greater China circle still have thresholds.

After the meeting, Lu Feng went to inquire about the production status of the new Vipoda. Since November, the new Vipoda has been mass-produced, and the marketing department has been doing related marketing work. In order to seize the Spring Festival market, now The first batch of new products has been shipped, and ten provinces across the country will start selling them within ten days.

Back at the office, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and just a few minutes after sitting down, Liu Cheng knocked on the door and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Lu Feng was lying on the sofa, looking a little tired, rubbing his temples with his hands and muttering, "I will die of exhaustion sooner or later, and none of you guys can stand alone. "

"The main reason is that the development is too fast, and the talents can't keep up. If you don't develop international affairs this year, you will not be busy." Liu Cheng sat down, added some water to Lu Feng's water glass, and said, "Rome There are new developments on the group side.”

"The price has come down?" Lu Feng asked with narrowed eyes.

"That's not true, but we found the person in charge of the Ruixin Laboratory. ROHM Group has assigned these idle assets of the overseas R\u0026D department to a department called the Overseas Assets Affairs Department. This department is relatively idle, which is equivalent to an asset management department. We have learned through some channels that they may not want to sell because their asking price is so high." Liu Cheng pondered: "This overseas asset affairs department is not the idle assets of the entire group, but the assets of overseas R\u0026D companies."

"So, what do you want to say?" Lu Feng sat up straight, took a sip from the water glass.

"We heard that there are only a few people in this department, and there are only three idle assets left. The days at work are also very leisurely. Among them, the Ruixin laboratory is the most important asset. If it is sold, this department may be If they are banned, they will also be unemployed." Liu Cheng said to Lu Feng: "The people in this department are all middle-aged women. If they are unemployed, they will not be able to find another job, so she does not want to sell."

"Is it a woman?" Lu Feng asked.

"Yes, this is a very small department. The person in charge is Yui Kurai. She is thirty-five years old. She was in the Roma Group when she first started working. She has been working for nearly ten years." Liu Cheng explained: "You Maybe they don’t know much, even in their society, it’s normal and stable to have a job until retirement, so she doesn’t want to sell or lose her job.”

"For such a big thing, it ended up being stuck on a small supervisor, so we still need to find out, and prescribe the right medicine, this is called Bo Duo..."

"Mr. Lu, it's not called Bo Duo, it's called Cangjing Yui." Liu Cheng reminded.

"Empty or Bodo, she just wants to stay in this idle department. What does the senior management of the Roma Group mean?" Lu Feng asked, "Does the above have anything to say about this price?"

"I called one of their vice presidents, and he told me that overseas assets are not considered by them, it mainly depends on the overseas assets department, and this laboratory does not pay much attention on their side, and it is a marginal asset. ...It's like the panda technology we bought before." Liu Cheng made a simple analogy.

"Can you get 50 million dollars?" Lu Feng came to his senses.

"It shouldn't be a problem, but as soon as possible, the currency has depreciated by half a point recently." Liu Cheng clasped his hands together, looking a little anxious, and said, "I think this matter is best done before the New Year, otherwise the currency will depreciate. I can't bear it, I heard people say that this year may be nine to one!"

Nine yuan is not worth one yuan, but the currency depreciation in 1994 was indeed severe. Now the bank interest rate is very high, basically the annualized rate is about 10%, and even some local banks can take the annualized rate in order to absorb deposits. Give a high price of 18%.

"If you really can't do it, find a consulting company and check the specific information. When the foreign exchange indicators come down, I'll take a trip." Lu Feng said with a serious expression: "This thing is really fast, and the night is full of dreams!"

The next day, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange contacted the Shenzhen Municipal Government and expressed support for supporting outstanding enterprises and acquiring overseas core assets, and other departments also called and praised companies such as Jiafeng Electronics, and hoped that local publicity would be more. , Take Jiafeng Electronics as an example, actively do research and development work, and accumulate more patents in related fields.

There was a meeting in the city early in the morning. At 8:00 in the morning, Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly called Lu Feng's office, but the secretariat picked it up, saying that President Lu had not yet arrived at the company.

At nine o'clock in the morning, just as Lu Feng arrived at the office, a clerk walked in and said, "Mr. Lu, Deputy Mayor Liu said that he has an urgent matter for you. I hope you will call back."

"He called me?" Lu Feng hummed, "Call me again and say I'm in a meeting."

After speaking, he strode out of the door and walked out.

A meeting started at 10:30 in the morning. Lu Feng returned to the office to take a sip of water, and the phone rang as soon as he sat down.

"I'm Lu Feng, who is it?" Lu Feng answered the phone.

"Brother Lu, you are very busy today. I called you several times..."

Lu Feng heard that it was Deputy Mayor Liu and hung up the phone.

"Dudududu!" Deputy Mayor Liu was dumbfounded when he heard the blind tone on the phone. Looking at the phone, he was a little annoyed and scolded, but the phone still had to be called.

"Which one?" Lu Feng answered the phone and asked.

"It's me! Deputy Mayor Liu, why did you hang up on me just now?" Deputy Mayor Liu asked.

"Oh, you beat him just now? I thought it was Brother Lu who opened his mouth." Lu Feng said with a smile.

"Can't you hear my voice? What's wrong with calling you Brother Lu?" Vice Mayor Liu felt a hundred uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything about it. Now there is a task, even if you have to look at Lu Feng's face, he must also be implemented.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a businessman, and the thing I'm most afraid of is hearing people call me brother. When I hear these two words, I'm either asking for money or asking me for money. Where are you from the sun? , take the initiative to call me?" Lu Feng leaned back in his chair and teased, "What? The Municipal Foreign Exchange Bureau is under your control today?"

On the other end of the phone, Vice Mayor Liu's angry face turned green!
