After Wu Changfeng and Director Wang left the organizer's office.
The island nation manufacturers, with a "let's watch the show" mentality, gathered around to observe the papers on the table.
but……
The more I look at it, the more something seems off!
The more I look at it, the more I realize that the weeding machines produced by my own factory have gone astray!
"According to his calculations, our lawnmowers can last for 40 years!"
"Holy crap! The blade life is that long?"
"This isn't right. If it takes this long, how are we supposed to make any money?"
"My goodness, isn't this an antique?"
"The owner is gone, but the lawnmower is still here!"
"It's hard to say how advanced lawnmowers will be in 40 years!"
"Exactly! Using an old-fashioned tool to mow the lawn at home? That's just not befitting of a middle-class family!"
"Wrong, wrong, our entire approach is wrong!"
"Exactly! What's the point of focusing on blade lifespan over such a long period of time!"
"I've got it! I've gotten it all wrong! We've been going in the wrong direction all along!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
I was shocked one after another!
They exchanged a glance.
He lowered his head in shame.
They were just shouting that people from mainland China would never teach them a lesson.
Now……
Reality is a slap in the face!
We don't even understand the selling points of lawnmowers, so how can we talk about being an industrial powerhouse!
How embarrassing! I'm so ashamed!
To have a backward continent educate you is tantamount to having a primary school student answer questions for a PhD.
This disparity made them very uncomfortable.
Frustrated, sad, and indignant!
Their narrow-minded nationalism is starting to take hold again.
At this point, the organizer said, "It's nothing, at least we've gained a new perspective."
"Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors also learned from the mainland."
"There's nothing shameful about it."
Hearing this reassurance, the manufacturers' expressions gradually improved.
"It seems we can't work on blade lifespan anymore."
"Indeed, we need to focus on cost-effectiveness!"
"Quickly calculate how much the price would be if it were made with the same craftsmanship and workmanship as Qimingxing?"
Everyone quickly began to calculate.
After the results come out.
I was dumbfounded again.
Even if we follow the same craftsmanship as Qimingxing, the cost would still be as high as $500 per unit!
"What the hell?! Where did things go wrong?"
"Why can't the price come down?"
"Their selling price is only $400, but our cost is $500?"
"Are you kidding me! This enlightenment is a bit blocked!"
"Did you calculate it wrong?!"
"How could the calculation be wrong? Labor costs plus raw materials alone bring the total to nearly $500!"
"That's strange, how did Wu Changfeng of Qimingxing manage to offer such a low price?"
"Is there a subsidy?"
Agriculture is an industry and issue that every country in the world attaches great importance to.
Not only developed countries, but also the most underdeveloped countries, need to provide subsidies for agriculture.
To prevent the country from falling into a food crisis.
Only when people are well-fed can there be stable development.
Without agriculture as a foundation, everything else is in vain.
The mainland also provides subsidies for this, and these subsidies are mainly focused on agriculture.
For example, if you manufacture agricultural machinery, you will also receive corresponding subsidies.
Although it's better than nothing, it still demonstrates the country's support.
While some in the office agreed, it was highly likely that the mainland side was providing large-scale subsidies.
but……
Upon closer examination, something still seems off.
Weed mowers can be loosely categorized as agricultural machinery.
I almost entered the home appliance industry, but no matter how much subsidies I received, I was no match for machinery like tractors and seeders.
The majority of the subsidies will definitely not go to lawnmowers.
The root of the problem is not here at all.
We need to dig deeper to find out why Wu Changfeng's products are so cheap!
The organizers then offered a timely reminder: "Everyone, I think you should go and see the mainland."
"What's there to see?" Nakamura asked with disdain. "I've seen documentaries; it's dirty and messy."
"It's similar to the Elephant Country, isn't it?" Honda echoed.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go; even a sip of water can upset my stomach," Mitsubishi said.
If Wu Changfeng were there, he would definitely say: "Holy crap, what era is this! This is so outdated!"
The organizers sighed: "Things aren't as bad as we thought. They're making reforms, and companies from the island nation have also come to investigate."
"There are even plans to move the factory to the mainland."
"Hmm?" Nakamura asked, "Why? Has our island nation mistreated these companies?"
The organizer held up one finger: "Nothing special, just cheap labor!"
"How cheap is it?"
The organizer thought for a moment and said, "You are all senior sales managers. If you convert the monthly salary of a worker in mainland China, you can earn it back in two to three days."
"So cheap!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
This is practically free!
In other words, one meal is equivalent to a worker's monthly labor!
Holy crap!
Now I finally understand why Qimingxing products are so cheap.
It turns out that labor is ridiculously cheap!
Mitsubishi suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Isn't this the price-cutting manipulator? I remember now, the Continental TVs sell very well in Europe!"
"It's cheap and the quality is pretty good."
