Chapter 127: Good Advice
Minister Huang nodded at him, not bad, there was some understanding.
Yan Jiuru raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Zhu Changbing, "If you guys are done with it before I come out, just go back to the factory. If you have any questions, come find me here."
There's no sound transmission device or anything like that, so it's hard to get in touch when people are on the move. If we don't agree in advance, if we all have something to do, you'll look for me and I'll look for him, which will be very troublesome.
"Okay, Director, you guys chat then. We'll be on our way first."
Zhu Changbing was a scout before he retired. Yan Jiuru was willing to give him the position of deputy factory director. Of course, his ability is unquestionable. Another reason is that he is very good at observing people's words and expressions.
He had already discovered that Minister Huang probably had something else he wanted to say to the factory director in private.
***
After watching them leave, Minister Huang left his desk and invited Yan Jiuru to sit on the sofa in front of the window to drink tea and talk.
Yan Jiuru looked at Minister Huang warily: "Minister, why don't you just scold me a few times."
Based on his limited experience in dealing with superiors, it is generally not a big deal if the leader scolds you a few times, but if he suddenly becomes polite, it is usually not a good thing.
"What a coward!" Minister Huang sneered. "You've got so little guts, and you still dare to complain? You were so brave just now!"
"That's different."
Yan Jiuru diligently poured tea and water for his leader, and also poured one for himself.
The two of them took a short tea break.
Minister Huang put down his teacup and said, "Don't worry about Deputy Director Wang. Once Xiao Zhang gets there, she should understand what's going on.
She probably won't block you again. Of course, if she does, just come find me."
"Then I will believe you."
"A grown man~" Minister Huang glared at him.
Yan Jiuru smiled innocently: "Leader, you have to understand the heart of a married man.
If I were alone, I could just kick anyone who came at me. But I have to think about my wife's feelings."
He touched his knees and muttered softly: "It's not so easy to kneel on the washboard..."
Minister Huang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Come on, stop pretending. Let me tell you something."
Yan Jiuru immediately stood up and raised his hand in a standard military salute: "Please give me your instructions, leader!"
"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Minister Huang waved his hand and thought to himself, with such spirit and energy, he would be a good seedling if he were in the army.
It can only be said that the leaders did not know him well enough, or that it was well known that the 107th Institute was "selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat".
After hearing the leader's tone, Yan Jiuru felt relieved and the matter of the complaint was over.
***
Minister Huang picked up their product introduction which was translated into both English and Spanish.
It was only a thin page and a half. He pointed to the single product image and said, "Actually, the people from the Foreign Trade and Economic Commission were right about one thing. Whether you're participating in the Canton Fair or other exhibitions, your product offerings are too limited."
He raised his hand to stop Yan Jiuru from saying anything and continued, "You should understand that as a product provider, there is a difference between what you sell and what you sell."
"Take your car for example. If a customer likes it and wants to buy it, wouldn't he want to look at a few different models and compare them?
Even if you still decide to buy this one after looking around, without any comparison or selection, what would you think if you were the customer?
Yan Jiuru quickly simulated it in his mind and said in a deep voice: "I will feel a sense of dissatisfaction and regret."
"Well, the boy is teachable.
Do you know why many companies, in addition to their flagship products and star products, also have some products that are not so easy to sell. Why don’t they cut them off?
Even though there aren't many orders, do we still have to maintain a certain level of production?"
"Because I need a foil!"
"It's not just the flagship products that need to be highlighted. Customers also want to feel like they have unique vision and have spotted the best at first sight. It's not like they have excellent vision but have no room to improve."
Yan Jiuru stood up and clasped his hands together, "Thank you for your advice, Leader. I know how to make the changes. I will report the new products before the fifth of next month before the Canton Fair."
***
If he was angry and dissatisfied after being challenged by the people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Minister Huang's words convinced him.
Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!
These people are good at R&D and production, but they still have a lot of room for improvement in their grasp of the market.
Yan Jiuru left the ministry building and waited in front of the jeep for about ten minutes. Zhu Changbing and Assistant Ding also arrived.
"How about it?"
Assistant Ding presented him with the materials and said with a smile, "You didn't see the woman's expression. Anyway, everything went smoothly."
The Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation are both in the same building, just on different floors. So there's no need to go elsewhere to get things done.
Yan Jiuru quickly scanned the relevant information and stamped all of them with the big red seal.
After he finished loading the information, he said to the two of them, "It's not too early today, and it's almost time to get off work at the factory. Let's go straight home."
However, starting tomorrow, we will add more product items.
Lao Zhu, please inform everyone in the factory that starting tomorrow, everyone will work overtime and no leave is required unless necessary. We need to add at least three more products before October 5th."
Without waiting for the two to ask, he waved his hand and said, "Get in the car first. We'll talk about the details on the way."
***
After having dinner with colleagues outside, I returned home.
"Dad, Dad, you don't keep your word!" The two little ones rushed over, hugging each other's thighs and tilting their necks to protest to their father.
Yan Jiuru picked them up one by one and weighed them, "Hmm, Daddy's daughter has gained weight again!"
He kissed his daughter's chubby face twice, saying "mua, mua". Seeing his daughter wiping her face in disgust, he burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Xiaohu quickly slid down.
Unfortunately, his little arms couldn't twist his thighs, so his father held him down and forced him to give him two big kisses. He even laughed and said, "Well, Xiaohu, you've been practicing hard, haven't you? These little arms and legs are quite strong."
"But Daddy still has to be busy for a while. When I'm done, I'll give you a Freddy car, too. How about that?"
Chen Yin came over and heard this and said, "One car is enough for us to play with. If we have more, they won't know how to cherish it. Besides, if you borrow it today and he borrows it tomorrow, it will be troublesome."
"What's the matter? Someone came to borrow the car to play?" Yan Jiuru put the two children down and talked to Chen Yin while sitting at the stone table and chairs in the yard.
***
He leaned in close, and Chen Yin frowned, "Have you been drinking?"
"Today, something really happy happened. Coincidentally, Lao Zhu and Xiao Ding were both together, so we went out to eat while discussing something. The three of us only had one bottle."
With the drinking capacity of three people, a pound of wine shared by three people would only be a little over three ounces, just enough for the base.
"You three are all drunk, who's driving?"
"Oh, don't worry, Xiao Jiang is driving."
Ever since the Feiying Automobile Manufacturing Plant was officially listed, Yan Jiuru got a jeep for work through the relevant departments. Even if it was a retired soldier, it would not have been his turn without connections.
At first he drove alone, and later he and Lao Zhu took turns driving. Recently, they have had more social engagements, so they specially promoted a special driver from among the retired car soldiers in logistics and transportation.
***
"Go wash up. I'll make you some hangover tea."
Yan Jiuru felt bitter when he thought of the hangover tea made by his wife.
However, you must listen to your daughter-in-law.
But he cleverly squeezed a little more toothpaste, brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth carefully repeatedly, and then wet himself in a few strokes. He shouted outside: "Wife, help me rub it!"
Chen Yin didn't suspect anything and reluctantly went to the bathroom to rub his back.
As a result, I kept rubbing it endlessly...
The children were getting impatient waiting outside, so Zhuangzhuang ran to knock on the door with his younger brother and sister: "Dad, Mom, you haven't finished rubbing yet~"
"Mom and Dad, it's already twenty minutes." The smart child already knows how to read the clock.
In the bathroom, the two people were deeply intertwined with each other, breathing softly.
Yan Jiuru couldn't see Chen Yin's face, so she pinched her slender waist and chuckled, "Don't pay attention to them, they will leave soon."
Chen Yin turned her back to him and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault. You didn't do it beforehand..."
"Yes, it's all my fault. Let's continue, sweetheart. I've saved this for a long time, and we must hand it over to the government tonight. You can't just give me a half-hearted answer~"
"Virtue~"
Yan Jiuru even took the time to threaten the person outside the door: "Zhuangzhuang, take your brothers and sisters to bed, and don't disturb mom and dad taking a bath, otherwise, hum hum..."
Zhuangzhuang shrugged at his younger siblings like an adult: "You heard it, go back to sleep."
Several children were talking as they walked.
Zhuangzhuang said: "Today the teacher asked us to make sentences, and now I have an idea."
"The sentence is, when Dad sees Mom, it's like a bee seeing... No, no, it's like a cat seeing a mouse, that's not right either, um... That's right, it's like a blind bear seeing honey!"
***
The two of them quietly returned to the house, and the children were already asleep in the inner room.
Chen Yin and Yan Jiuru looked at their strange sleeping posture and shook their heads in confusion. "Xiaohu, how can you sleep so soundly with your legs bent and your shoulders raised? Aren't you tired?"
"And Jingjing, is this posture like bending a bow and shooting an eagle? Tsk tsk..."
The two of them filled some warm water and cleaned the children again, straightened their posture, tucked them back into bed, and then turned off the lights and returned to the outer room.
Since my hometown contracted the mountain last year, my mother-in-law also went back there.
My parents-in-law are both in their early forties, and it is definitely impossible for them to be separated for a long time. At this age, it is possible that one day I will give them a younger brother or sister.
However, the two little ones stopped breastfeeding when they were one year old, and they could be left alone even when they went to kindergarten, as long as someone, dad or mom, picked them up in the evening.
Children nowadays are brought up to be tough and not so pampered.
***
Yan Jiuru had taken the opportunity to vent the alcohol he was feeling, and now he just hugged her and talked.
He talked about his trip to the Canton Fair over the past two days, and finally mentioned Minister Huang's advice, and sighed: "Sure enough, the old ones are still the best!"
The capable person's words were full of wisdom and immediately enlightened him.
Chen Yin also felt enlightened after hearing this. She said, "It's like when I go to buy a down jacket. I clearly like red, but I still have to look at all the colors and styles and compare them. Then I decide that red is more suitable for me.
The principle is the same: if there's only one red item hanging on the counter in a department store, I'll definitely buy it, but I'll still feel like something's missing."
Yan Jiuru added: "There's a lack of a sense of selecting the best."
"Yes, that's it."
“So, some products exist just as green leaves.”
***
The next day, Yan Jiuru said the same thing at the factory's morning meeting.
Zhu Changbing, the deputy factory director and workshop manager, asked, "Does the factory director have any plans? How many varieties will be added, and what styles?"
Chai Shengli, who was in charge of the process, pushed up his glasses and said, "If we start over, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the entire process."
Yan Jiuru sat at the head of the group, looking at the backbones and said, "Since it's just a foil, there's no need to develop a completely new one. We can just make some minor changes to the existing one and give it a new name.
Of course, when we have time, we can continue to develop other new products. I already have some ideas in mind, but there is no rush."
***
Yan Jiuru is also very cunning.
He caught the unspoken meaning in the leader's words.
It doesn’t matter what the new products are. What matters is to list as many as possible so that you can buy them or not.
"Well, right now our flagship product, or our flagship product, is the Freedom toy car, but we can divide it into three or five models."
For example, the model 001 is named MODEL-1, the one with a roof added directly is called MODEL-2, or the one with a simple modification of a certain part is called MODEL-3. . . .
"Everyone can brainstorm and we will strive to add three to five new types in a short period of time."
Zhu Changbing suggested: "We can also allow employees to freely express their suggestions, and if the good ones are adopted, we can give them some rewards."
"This is possible." Everyone agreed.
***
Indeed, the wisdom of the masses cannot be ignored.
After the relevant suggestions were posted on the factory broadcast and bulletin board, more than 20 suggestions were received.
There are only twenty-one employees in the factory, and it can be said that everyone has made suggestions, and some have even made several suggestions.
At the discussion meeting.
"This one has a hook at the back with a small trailer, which contains a set of tools for children to dig sand, such as colorful plastic buckets and small sand shovels."
A comrade raised his hand and said, “I have no objection to adding a small trailer, but aren’t there many sand buckets and other toys like that abroad?
Why would they spend so much money on ours? Rich people aren't stupid, are they? "
Another one said: "How can this be called unnecessary?
At least we have it all now and don't have to buy it elsewhere.
Besides, kids don’t know how to play with these things, and they lose and break countless sets every year, so we don’t have much more than this one.”
Yan Jiuru raised her hand: "This one is acceptable, but the hook must be removable, especially suitable for children to operate, and the gaps and accessories must be slightly enlarged."
A colleague from the Quality Inspection Department said, "I suggest adding eye-catching stickers. The age limit for children operating this type of vehicle should be raised. At the very least, our manufacturer should provide this information upfront."
"Very good. The Design and Crafts Department can make samples of the relevant content. Once they are approved, Lao Tong, your Purchasing Department will prepare the materials as soon as possible."
. . . . . .
So, by the end of the month, several new products will be released:
A car with a roof,
Car with trailer and sand dredging toy set,
A rocking car that can't drive but only sings...
Minister Huang smiled helplessly when he saw the new product catalog that Yan Jiuru brought.
