The motorcycle factory's sales channels were blocked, and the losses were not small. As the goods accumulated, the factory's working capital began to decrease. This problem triggered many chain reactions, and in the end, the workers' enthusiasm was severely hit.
Regarding the situation where the market could not be opened up, Yuan Fangguo also discussed with Yang Baolong, Ma Tingting and others. The southwest is the stronghold of Jialing and Lifan. It will definitely be difficult for them to open up the situation. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding in their thinking from the beginning.
After a meeting for a day or two, the factory decided that Ma Tingting and Yang Baolong would each lead a sales team to the south and north respectively.
Originally, Yuan Fangguo wanted to choose a direction to follow, either south or north, but because he had something else on hand, he had to postpone his plan.
The first one is the ticketing issue. In late October, Yuan Fangguo's company received a letter from the Bashu Football Club, and the two parties terminated the ticketing contract in 1997.
This is non-negotiable. Initially, the Bashu Club sold off the ticket business as a burden. However, what they thought was a burden turned out to be a money tree in the hands of the distributors, and the profit basically doubled. After learning from the previous experience, they naturally did not want to let this piece of cake fall into the hands of others.
After receiving the letter of termination of ticketing cooperation, it seemed that Yuan Fangguo had already expected it. Not only was he not angry, but he asked Li Benzhi to negotiate with Bashu Football Club about chest advertising.
The performance of the Bashu team this season is not very good, barely maintaining the middle level, but starting from next season, the Bashu team will firmly occupy the top three positions in the league for three consecutive years. For Chengdu, where the football market is quite hot, chest advertising is a good marketing method.
The second thing was about the hospital. After three months of preparation, the new hospital was scheduled to open on November 1st. For this purpose, Yuan Fangguo invited military and local leaders to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The deputy director of the logistics department of the military region, the director of the general hospital, senior officials of Jiangliu District, the district mayor and other important figures also arrived at the scene.
At the same time, Yuan Fangguo spent a huge sum of money, nearly 500,000 yuan, and invited several celebrities to perform in the hospital square.
Such a huge momentum also attracted the district TV station and several media outlets to come for interviews. The district TV station came uninvited as they wanted to film the secretary and the district mayor, while those media outlets were all found by Ning Yuanlin as it was purely voluntary publicity among brothers.
Undoubtedly, with these foreshadowings, the number of patients visiting the hospital increased significantly in less than a week.
However, compared with the smooth progress on the hospital side, Li Benzhi's advertising negotiations are in a stalemate. The reason is very simple. The Bashu team is unwilling to sell the advertising business too early. They are waiting for the right opportunity.
Seeing that the advertising business could not be confirmed for the time being, Yuan Fangguo simply contacted the other two football teams in Bashu Province, Rongcheng Team and Yuzhou Team. However, these two teams are both in the Jia-B League, and their influence is naturally not comparable to that of the Bashu team.
Of course, there is another advantage of a team that is not in the top league, that is, the asking price will definitely not be too high. As expected, the Chengdu team got the chest advertisement for 1.2 million, and the Yuzhou team's Yuan Fangguo was ready to give Jialing and Lifan a slap in the face. He spent 6 million yuan to buy the one-year naming rights of the entire team.
Next season, the Yuzhou team will be renamed Yuzhou Huaxia Long Motorcycle Football Team.
The matters of the two clubs were settled quite quickly. After that, Yuan Fangguo also received good news from Yang Baolong, that is, their layout in North China has achieved initial success. In November, 3,000 motorcycles were sold in the entire North China region. In the first week of December, 1,500 motorcycles were sold in just one week. Judging from the data, it is obvious that they are in a stage of growth.
After hearing the good news from Yang Baolong, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. The initial success in North China was undoubtedly the most exciting thing that made him feel recently.
However, Yang Baolong also told Yuan Fangguo another not-so-good news, which is that the collection period here is relatively long, and it usually takes three months to settle.
"Jialing and Lifan too?"
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
"Okay, then let's do as they say and settle the payment every three months." Yuan Fangguo was helpless about this. If he wanted to gain a foothold, he could only listen to the dealers for now. Once their brand effect really came out, he would have to make the dealers listen to them and pay first before taking the goods.
After Yang Baolong finished reporting to Yuan Fangguo on the phone, Yuan Fangguo called Li Hui and told her that their office building near the stadium had been vacated and all the previous company employees had moved to the motorcycle factory to work.
Soon, the financial director Li Hui pushed the door open and walked in.
"Deputy Yang pays once every three months, and they also need a certain amount of working capital. Please arrange for someone to transfer the money over in the next two days, 200,000 yuan." Yuan Fangguo said as he stretched out two fingers.
"Will it be like this from now on?"
"They won't need it in the future. These two hundred thousand are their funds for three months."
"It's really strange. Their payment cycle is a bit long." Li Hui also encountered this problem when she was in the original machinery factory, but the other party basically paid back the money within one or two months. As for paying back the money within three months, it was really rare in her impression.
"He said it was the custom over there." Yuan Fangguo was also quite helpless.
"Okay, I'll arrange it in the next two days. By the way, Mr. Yuan, here are this month's water and electricity bills."
“Has there been an increase?”
"An extra ten thousand dollars."
"Why are there suddenly so many more?" Yuan Fangguo was surprised.
"As far as I know, the extra water and electricity bills are mainly due to waste."
"No way, with the current level of management, it's not possible to waste so much, right?"
"Really, Mr. Yuan, if you don't believe me, you can go to various places and take a look."
Out of disbelief, Yuan Fangguo actually visited various places. Whether it was the office or the workshop, the phenomenon of wasting water and electricity was everywhere. For example, the lights in the toilet were still on in broad daylight, and a faucet in the cafeteria was broken and no one cared, leaving white water flowing. Not to mention the production workshop...
After reading it, Yuan Fangguo called the heads of various departments to the front of the office building, scolded them rudely, and finally explained that they would not receive this month's bonuses.
"As for when the bonus will be given, that depends on when the water and electricity bills go down." After saying this, Yuan Fangguo left in a leisurely manner, leaving behind a group of guys who looked at each other in bewilderment and were completely beaten to a pulp by the scolding.
