Reborn as a New Farmer of the 1980s

Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 2326: Year-End Business Warshuhaige.net

The South Bay network is bound to grow bigger, and now it’s time to consider finding someone to be in charge of it.

However, this person is not easy to find. He must have a solid foundation in network skills and be well versed in the essence of network operation. He must also have business acumen and forward-looking vision.

Wan Feng looked around for people playing online, but didn't see anyone like this.

If we use the first method, we can find hundreds of people around him. If we add the second method, the number will not be small either. But if we use the third method, there will probably only be thirty or forty people left.

And the forward-looking vision almost sentenced the remaining people to death.

Then just leave it empty for now. Don't worry, this person will definitely show up.

The Spring Festival in 2000 was on February 5th.

The period before the New Year is usually a peak sales period for various commodities, and the sales volume in the twelfth month can equal the sales volume of several normal months.

Nanwan Group is also enjoying this sales trend. Various products produced by Nanwan Group are selling out like water. This situation will continue until around the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and then no more sellers will purchase goods.

The product with the most shipments this year is undoubtedly the H1688 mobile phone.

Ever since the H1688 mobile phone was launched on the market, it has always been in short supply.

Nowadays, mobile phones are no longer a luxury consumer product that is out of reach for people. Although they have not yet been popularized among the working class and ordinary farmers, the huge number of high-income groups in China still supports a market of over 10 million units.

The year-end mobile phone war started before New Year's Day.

All mobile phones in the Chinese market have started the sales competition with price cuts. Whether it is Haier's H6988, Bird's RC838, Kangjia's K3118, Xiahua's XG818, Dongxin's EC528, they have all started promotions with price cuts of 200 to 300 yuan.

Only Huaguang's phone did not respond.

It cannot be said that there is no reaction at all. Some older models of mobile phones have seen price reductions, and the price reductions are very large, with prices dropping by three to five hundred yuan.

However, the price of the new flagship mobile phone H1688 has not been reduced by a penny, and it only comes with a 64M multimedia card.

This multimedia card is also produced by Huaguang. Although the 64M multimedia card is only worth sixty or seventy yuan, it is a must-have accessory for this mobile phone.

Bringing an MP3 is not just for viewing paintings.

The multimedia card does not come with the machine; it must be purchased separately.

At this time, Huaguang Electronics has developed a 128M multimedia card and is preparing to launch it after the new year.

In this way, the 64M card will inevitably be sold at a lower price.

Although a multimedia card is far less affordable than a card with a price reduction of 200 to 300 yuan, there are still many people buying H1688.

Huaguang Technology, Huaguang Electronics and Chenhui Industrial, three companies, produce tens of thousands of mobile phones a day, but it is still not enough to sell.

In just the twelfth month of the New Year, 1.2 million mobile phones of all kinds were sold.

This is almost a quarter of the annual mobile phone sales.

Of the 1.2 million units sold, half were H1688 and the other half were older models of Huaguang phones.

Mobile phones undoubtedly took the top spot in Nanwan Group's sales before the New Year with sales of 4 billion, while Nanwan microcars could only come in second place.

In fact, during the period before the New Year, the sales performance of Nanwan microvans was also impressive.

1999 was the year when cars truly entered the homes of ordinary people.

Although the country has encouraged people to buy cars since 1994, only one in a hundred families could afford one at that time.

But things were different in 1999. Many families in the city were eligible to buy cars. They could not afford expensive cars, and there were already many families who could afford cars that cost less than 100,000 yuan.

The best-selling car this year is the 1.3-liter Qingfeng.

Cars with too small a displacement have never been the first choice for Chinese families.

As the country expands, people's horizons naturally broaden. Even when buying cars, they prefer to buy cars with large space and high horsepower.

However, this is still an unrealistic idea at this stage. After all, cars with high horsepower and large space are still in the hands of foreigners, and the starting price is more than 200,000 yuan, which is not affordable for ordinary families.

The most urgent task for these families who can afford to buy a car is to solve the problem of whether they have one or not.

Therefore, small-displacement cars still dominate the car market this winter.

However, the most luxurious model of Qingfeng was given to Xiwan, and the ordinary version was sold to Li Fu. Nanwan was left with a mid-range Qingfeng that was neither good nor bad, which greatly affected sales.

A conservative estimate is that a few hundred fewer vehicles were sold in Nanwan.

The second best-selling sedan in South Bay is the regular version of Hurricane and Treasure, and the sales volume of less than 90,000 and less than 100,000 is still very popular.

Although the configuration is a bit low, these two cars basically meet the Chinese people's needs for space, horsepower and price.

Although the sales of the high-configuration versions of these two cars are acceptable, they are obviously not as good as the regular versions.

The overall income level of Chinese families is still relatively low.

To Wan Feng's surprise, the toy car he originally built for his son for fun became a sales frenzy this winter.

Starting from the winter month, the production capacity of 100 vehicles per day can no longer meet market demand.

Wan Feng urgently ordered Guan Hai to build another production line that could produce 300 vehicles a day to stabilize the market.

By the end of the year, this small car that Wan Feng didn't even take seriously had sold 10,000 units.

I picked up three million out of thin air.

On the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month, one day before the Chinese New Year, the test team that had traveled to Mohe returned covered in weathered clothes.

As soon as he got home, Guan Dahai reported the test drive in detail to the people in charge of the microcar.

The test results of the SUV Peak in the ice and snow environment were a bit less than ideal. The performance of the diesel version was acceptable, but the gasoline version of the Peak had a problem of shaking its head when the speed was a little faster in the ice and snow environment, but it was barely acceptable.

On the contrary, the Great Wall performs exceptionally well in ice and snow environments.

"The only drawback of this car is that it lacks power a bit and doesn't meet our expectations at the start."

Meet your expectations?

These bastards would love to drive it like a sports car, it would be strange if their expectations could be met.

"It would be even better if the Great Wall had a little more power. Apart from that, it's excellent in every other respect. The handling, stability, and anti-roll are all perfect. Running 70 on an icy road is no problem at all. I can't wait to take it south for a road test after the Lunar New Year."

Guan Dahai was generous with his praise and dedicated all his beautiful words to the Great Wall.

Running 70 kilometers on a snowy track? Is that too much for you?

"Boss Wan! If I buy this car, can I get a 50% discount?"

"How much discount? 50%? Why don't you go get your salary and go home quickly? You might even catch them in bed."

This bastard is so bold, 50% off? You have to support my wife and children for me!

Guan Dahai, grinning, ran to the accounting department with the test team members to collect their salaries and bonuses.
