During this period, Zhang Fan devoted himself entirely to his work.
Especially after the completion of the second phase of the project, a large amount of work fell on his shoulders alone.
He was responsible not only for the introduction of equipment, but also for the careful arrangement of personnel allocation and recruitment, as well as communication and coordination with various departments.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan has extensive experience leading large corporations, so while these tasks are challenging, they are not impossible for him to accomplish.
However, if an ordinary person were to undertake such a heavy workload, they would probably be completely unable to do it.
This also fully demonstrates Xiao Weiguo's skill in personnel management.
He knew Zhang Fan's needs and areas of expertise well, so he provided him with support and resources far exceeding his actual needs.
In this way, Zhang Fan can not only give full play to his talents, but also get more satisfaction and his personal desires are greatly satisfied.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Fan would naturally work wholeheartedly for Xiao Weiguo, giving his all without reservation.
In this way, the phenomenon of abusing power for personal gain becomes impossible. This is the secret to Xiao Weiguo's unwavering trust in his employees.
Moreover, he will give you ample room to develop in your areas of expertise and will never excessively interfere with your work, thus allowing you to maintain your enthusiasm for your job.
After all, people are often like this; once they get the opportunity to showcase their talents in their area of expertise...
Other matters then seemed less important to him.
This is similar to some scientific and technological personnel who are completely immersed in their research projects and revel in their research results. Would they care about how much salary they receive or what kind of treatment they get?
This is why there was a saying in those years: those who made mushroom bombs were not as well off as those who sold tea eggs.
Since Zhang Fan followed Xiao Baojun to Panlong Group, Xiao Weiguo didn't say a single unnecessary word. He entrusted the entire follow-up work of the second phase to him without hesitation, and even gave him 5% of the group's shares as his salary.
For Zhang Fan, this was like a thoroughbred horse finally finding its discerning owner!
Working with a boss like Xiao Weiguo, even if you're exhausted, you'll leave willingly and contentedly.
Now, Zhang Fan has managed the entire second phase of the project very well, and everything is under his control. As long as Xiao Weiguo gives the order, the project can start immediately and enter the production phase.
However, Zhang Fan, who has a deep understanding of the domestic market, knows very well that now is not the best time to start production.
The most critical factor is the issue of production capacity.
In the early 1990s, the national economy was still in a phase of rapid recovery, and ordinary people had relatively limited spare money and not much to spend.
Therefore, with hundreds of stores opened nationwide, Panlong Group has already reached a considerable scale, occupying almost the largest share of the market.
This means that the market's capacity is nearing its limit. If production continues to expand blindly, even if Panlong Apparel's brand and quality are reliably guaranteed, it will inevitably lead to overcapacity.
Once there is overcapacity, the supply in the market will far exceed the demand, which will trigger a series of serious consequences.
First, prices will drop significantly because when supply exceeds demand, consumers have more choices and will tend to buy lower-priced products.
As a result, Panlong Group's profit margin will be compressed, and it may even face losses.
Faced with this situation, there is only one effective solution in the short term: to open up new markets.
So, where exactly is this new market?
Clearly, the domestic market is nearing saturation, and continuing to expand domestically cannot solve the fundamental problem. Therefore, the only way out is to enter the overseas market.
After all, in terms of total wealth, Western countries are undoubtedly a real gold mine.
These countries have a large consumer base and a high level of consumption, and they have a high pursuit of fashion and quality.
Introducing Panlong Apparel to these countries' markets will not only expand sales channels but also enhance the brand's international reputation, thereby achieving greater profit growth.
Of course, entering the international market is not easy and requires facing many challenges and difficulties.
But only by taking this bold step can Panlong Group achieve greater success globally and realize a true business breakthrough.
Prior to arriving in Shang County, Zhang Fan had already worked closely with Xiao Baojun to successfully stabilize the market in Pengcheng.
Shenzhen, the city with the largest sea outlet in China, has always been an important strategic target in Zhang Fan's mind.
He knew that if Panlong Apparel wanted to truly go global, Shenzhen was undoubtedly the best springboard.
Therefore, he made a special trip to visit Xiao Weiguo today, eagerly preparing to officially launch his meticulously planned scheme.
However, to his surprise, after listening to his report, Xiao Weiguo rejected his decision without hesitation.
"Mr. Zhang, I completely understand how you feel right now, and I also fully understand the difficulties the group is currently facing."
I completely agree that we urgently need to expand into international markets and enable our clothing to go global.
Xiao Weiguo said with a serious expression.
Zhang Fan was stunned. He had thought that Xiao Weiguo would support his plan, but he did not expect to be rejected so decisively.
He quickly explained, "Chairman Xiao, you see, we've already achieved some success in Shenzhen, and the market is relatively stable. Using Shenzhen as a stepping stone, we can better connect with international standards and promote Panlong Apparel globally. This is a rare opportunity!"
Xiao Weiguo frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Zhang Fan's words, and decisively interrupted Zhang Fan's speech.
“Mr. Zhang, I understand what you’re thinking, but now is not the right time.”
Seeing this, Zhang Fan became increasingly anxious. He couldn't understand why Xiao Weiguo would say such a thing.
In Zhang Fan's eyes, Panlong Apparel is now poised for takeoff, and this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for development.
However, at this crucial moment, Xiao Weiguo blocked his path, which puzzled Zhang Fan greatly.
He was about to ask why, but Xiao Weiguo quickly raised his hand, signaling him not to speak, and continued.
"Mr. Zhang, I cannot tell you the specific reasons, but you must believe me."
It's not the right time yet, but don't worry, our opportunity will come soon.
During this time, you must not be impatient; I have new tasks for you to complete.
Don't rush to ask questions. Wait until I explain the arrangements, and you'll understand.
