Zhao Lei did not argue with them on this issue. After all, even if he proposed it, it would be useless if Gong Chao and others were unwilling to do it.
Seeing Yuan Jie now, Zhao Lei suddenly had this idea. Maybe some things should be tried. If it really works, that would be the best.
Sales? Yuan Jie certainly knew what sales were. What puzzled him was, "I remember that the factory didn't lack sales at all."
Even if it was newly produced agricultural machinery, Yuan Jie knew that there was absolutely no shortage of markets, for example, there was no shortage of domestic markets. The only problem was the price.
As for exports, Yuan Jie had heard Zhao Lei mention that there was a shortage of manpower in the European and American markets, and manpower would never be used if it could be replaced by machines.
Although he didn't understand why he would rather use machines than people, he knew that Zhao Lei was more authoritative than him in this regard.
Since there is no shortage of sales, why did Zhao Lei mention this? "I remember that the factory does not lack sales."
We are really working at full capacity now just to complete the orders.
Zhao Lei nodded, "Yes, the current factory really has no shortage of market, and no matter how much is produced, it can be sold."
"But you also have to know that the market is so small, and sales will be full one day."
“And do you think sales is just about selling things?” Zhao Lei knew that the current definition of sales was still very narrow, which of course was also related to the fact that it was mainly a seller’s market.
Isn't it hard? Yuan Jie was very confused and looked at Zhao Lei in confusion.
"No, we use the things we produce according to our own ideas to see if there are any problems. Although I have expanded the group of people who try it out, sometimes I may not be able to take all of them into consideration."
"Some people may encounter some problems when using it, and some people have their own ideas. We can listen to them and see if they can be added next time."
"Our products are developed and produced for their use and to meet the requirements of most customers."
"Do you think our products are selling well abroad?" Zhao Lei asked Yuan Jie.
Yuan Jie hummed. Isn't that right?
"I can tell you that it's not like that. The main reason why our products are not expensive is that our labor is cheap. But we can't keep lowering the labor price. The labor cost will go up."
"Once labor costs go up, our costs will go up and profits will go down."
“So we have to keep moving forward and design more and better things that meet the needs of the public.”
"You need to find out through sales. I currently rely mainly on feedback from foreign agents and sales conditions to understand."
“Of course, it’s still quite tough at the moment.” Mainly because the agent in Hong Kong is really tough. Otherwise, if we change the general agent and he is a little careless, it will be a huge blow to the factory.
Yuan Jie was dizzy when he heard this. He had never imagined that Zhao Lei's definition of sales would be so high.
"Many companies don't pay much attention to the sales position." Zhao Lei knew that the current economy was a planned economy, and the factory would produce as many products as the orders from above, and the prices were also unified. As for whether it was profitable or not, that was not something the factory leaders needed to consider.
"Many domestic factories do not need to consider these things. Our situation is special because we export, so I insist on this aspect." Exported items cannot be priced based on cost, but must also be priced based on the sales price of similar domestic products.
"The products of neighboring countries are now suppressed by our products. They must be unwilling to accept it, but our products are all patented. It is not easy for them to bypass us, but we cannot underestimate the enemy."
If possible, he really wants to go to Southeast Asia to see how the products are selling in overseas markets. He really wants to go and see how far some foreign product technologies have come.
