“If you really want to set up a new factory, you can go and investigate first.” Wang Shouren still gave some advice: “Putting everything else aside, get the location sorted out first. When the time is right and the people are in the right place, you can solve the current problems.”
The tactic of "delaying" has been a very effective strategy since ancient times.
These two women, for some reason, have become ambitious again. It's best to hold them off; it's not the right time. Besides, he still needs to deal with things in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. He can deal with other matters slowly in the 1990s. For now, he can still enjoy a period of leisure.
If the two women want to cause trouble, then let them go and investigate first. We can deal with the rest later; there's no rush.
Lou Xiao'e felt something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint the problem.
After thinking about it for a while, she put it out of her mind. Anyway, it was Qin Huairu who was busy with this matter, not her. She was just offering a suggestion.
Compared to their indifference.
Qin Shou had a much bigger headache.
Last night at home, after being scolded by his grandfather, Qin Tian finally came to his senses.
What level of technology needs to be improved?
That's all just talk.
The key is to increase sales at home.
In 1984, the national motorcycle production was around 200,000 units, and their factory only sold a handful. While Xu Jiaguo's reckless actions contributed to this, would sales have increased the following year even without him? That's nonsense.
So, all that's needed is to figure out how to sell the products.
There are quite a few people attending the meeting today.
Besides Qin Tian, there was also Shen Yuanliang, the factory's chief engineer, and Wu, the deputy factory manager from the neighboring motorcycle factory.
Deputy Factory Director Wu was still a little puzzled. Why did Qin Tian have to bring him over to a meeting? In a sense, they were competitors.
In addition, there are the directors of each workshop.
"Ahem, everyone, the main reason I called you all here today is to see if you have any good plans for next year," Qin Tian coughed twice and asked.
Deputy Factory Director Wu had no idea what this man was up to, so he just listened quietly.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.
Shen Yuanliang is already considered an old hand, and after so many years, he has seen through everything. He spoke first: "Currently, there are no major problems in the engineering department, and the factory's staff has been replenished. If there are sales, full-scale production can probably reach about 50% of the state at the beginning of the year."
Before the New Year, which actually refers to before Wang Shouren left.
"Hmm, that's enough. Can we use the things left over from Xiao Rizi's side?" Qin Tian asked, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"We left behind quite a few things from Xiao Rizi's place. Some are usable, and some are not. However, for the time being, we don't have much chance of using them. The factory doesn't need such a high output for the time being." Shen Yuanliang said this quite tactfully.
"Don't worry about sales. What I want to know now is whether we can increase our production if we digest the technology left behind by Xiao Rizi?" Qin Tian asked.
"Yes, it will take time. Staff training and scheduling will need to be readjusted."
In terms of industrial achievements, Xiao Rizi is currently unmatched by Wang Shouren. Their rigorous standards for workstations and their control over quality are a level above Wang Shouren's. Although Xiao Rizi always tries to keep things secret, Shen Yuanliang, with Wang Shouren's help, has gained a clear understanding of global industry over the years.
Therefore, increasing production is not too difficult for him.
"Okay." Qin Tian nodded, glancing at everyone's expressions. He knew in his heart that no one was very optimistic about the factory. After all, sales figures were what they were. Since he took over, they hadn't been able to improve. Qin Tian's primary task for the factory was to boost everyone's confidence.
"These are all things that you have been able to achieve through your efforts. Now, let me talk about my efforts."
At this point, almost everyone's ears perked up. The factory might be in trouble, but if they changed the factory manager and things started looking good, things would be different. In fact, this motorcycle factory was different from other messes. After all, everyone knew how glorious the factory had been before, and they all believed that it was just lacking a good leader.
In other words, the spirit is still there.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' Currently, motorcycle sales are rising across the country. But in reality, only a few cities can truly afford motorcycles. My idea is to focus on Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Nanjing for the time being."
The two brothers actually discussed this last night.
"Most of the orders come from these few cities. I'm thinking of sending people out there specifically to sell our motorcycles. That's the first step."
After hearing this, the people didn't seem to have much of an impact.
Finding someone to sell motorcycles is possible, but they don't know how much feedback they can get.
"The second point is that we need to lower the price of our motorcycles."
"Price reduction?!" XN
These words stirred up a hornet's nest, and everyone looked at the new factory manager with curiosity.
This is quite unusual; I've never heard of motorcycles being discounted before.
"Yes, as things stand, everyone's motorcycle prices are about the same. But we still have a cost advantage, and I plan to stimulate the market by lowering prices."
"Factory manager, how much are you planning to reduce the price?" someone asked.
"This number." Qin Tian held up two fingers.
"Two thousand?!" Shen Yuanliang asked, somewhat surprised.
If you hold up two fingers, then it can't be two hundred yuan.
If it's just two hundred yuan, there's no need for a meeting; the factory manager can just lower the price directly.
Two thousand yuan is indeed a bit too much.
"Yes, two thousand."
"Isn't that too much? A price reduction of 500 yuan would be about right, wouldn't it?"
"Yes, a price reduction doesn't have to be this drastic, does it?"
There are still many people who oppose it.
Qin Tian glanced at the group silently. In truth, the opposition wasn't as intense as he'd imagined. After all, performance records and such didn't concern them much. They just needed to stay at the factory to receive their wages. As for bonuses, frankly, no one expected much.
