On the fourth day after Wei Chunguang and his team came to inspect the Wahou Machinery Factory and left, the two men set foot on the land of Wahou.
When the two men said that they were introduced by the 518 Tractor Factory to buy tractors, Wan Feng and Zhang Hai were dumbfounded.
They have tractors but no tires!
Besides, these two people came too quickly!
At this time, Wan Feng felt that he had to tell the truth.
"I'm sorry, we do have tractors. As you can see, we've already installed three of them. However, the drive wheels and steering wheels we ordered haven't arrived yet."
The two buyers frowned and asked, "How long will it take for the tires to arrive?"
"It will take three more days to arrive, Masters, please smoke!"
Wan Feng took out the Evergrande cigarette and smoked it in a circle.
"What are your names? Where are you from?" Zhang Hai asked.
"Miangui's surname is Xiao, his surname is Li, and we are from the Sutun District Agricultural Machinery Company."
Sutun District belongs to Shenyang City.
Upon hearing that the other party was from the agricultural machinery company, Zhang Hai and Wan Feng looked at each other.
In fact, Wan Feng didn't want to give the tractor to the agricultural machinery company in the early stage, because agricultural machinery companies usually pay only after the vehicle is sold, and they don't have that much capital turnover now.
After all, they have just started operations and have not yet formed their own production and sales supply chain, so everything depends on cash turnover.
But now, if you don’t hand over the products to the agricultural machinery company, who else can you hand them over to?
It is simply unrealistic to expect everyone to spend more than 3,000 yuan to buy a tractor.
The only hope now is that the government can buy tractors, which means we have to hand them over to agricultural machinery companies, but agricultural machinery companies don’t even give cash.
This has become a dead end.
I should have done something else first instead of building a tractor. It takes so much effort!
But that is a matter for the future. Now the two parties are strangers to each other, and the tractor will definitely not leave without cash.
“Can I try your tractor?”
"The tires on this car are just a makeshift design and are different from our original car design."
"That's okay. I just want to see what your little tractor is like."
That doesn't matter.
The buyer started the tractor, got on it and went out for a ride.
Ten minutes later, the buyer came back with a beaming look on his face.
"Holy crap, this little thing works great. It's fast and maneuverable, but it's a little bit heavy on the butt."
Is it fair that a tractor wouldn't have a stable bottom? At the time, almost every part of a tractor was rigidly connected, with no shock-absorbing components. It would have been a disaster if it hadn't.
However, this small four-wheeled vehicle can actually be modified to have shock absorbers. By using two sets of bow plates at the front wheels to separate the front axle and the engine, a good shock absorption effect can be achieved.
But that is a type that will be produced in the future, and Wan Feng has no plans to make it now.
"Let me drive it around." Another buyer climbed on and drove out, treating it as a toy.
"What can you do with this tractor? Are there any matching farm implements?"
"It has to be equipped as needed. It can carry a small two-piece plow, two sets of notched harrows, a small rotary tiller, and various other farm implements. Some of these we can produce, but others we have to rely on others to invent. For transport, it can carry a two-meter by one-meter trailer. If overloaded, it can haul two meters of sand and a thousand red bricks."
"Can you pull a thousand red bricks? Two and a half tons?"
"It can definitely pull. Didn't I tell you it's overloaded?" Tractors can only make a small fortune by transporting goods without being overloaded!
"I don't understand why you would build such a small tractor."
"I think you guys who sell agricultural machinery should know about the land contract responsibility system, right?"
Xiao Caigou nodded: "I know, there are already many pilot units near Shenyang."
"After this large piece of land was contracted out to each person, it became a small plot. You get a piece, I get a piece, and he gets a piece. Purchaser Xiao! Do you think this big tractor is still useful? If you were farming, and you only had one acre and three mu of land, would you hire a big tractor?"
Purchaser Xiao's expression changed and he shook his head: "No, a large tractor means it will have greater wear and tear, so the cost will naturally be higher!"
Wan Feng snapped his fingers. "Correct. As the fields get smaller, large tractors are expensive and unsuitable for use. So, we've switched to mowing the fields. Based on this idea, we've developed small tractors. They're low-cost, lightweight, flexible, and have low fuel consumption and parts wear. How much does a drive wheel on a large tractor cost? 400 yuan for a 60 tractor. How much does a drive tire on our small tractor cost? 80 yuan. And then there's the fuel consumption. Whether it's a 60 or a 22, how much fuel do they burn in a day? Our small tractors can't even burn as much fuel as they do in three days. And that's without a smaller engine that's suitable for the horsepower. If we had an engine with eight or nine horsepower, we'd like to make an even smaller tractor. Of course, that would only be for farmland operations, not transportation."
Xiao's eyes lit up. "That makes sense. That makes sense. How much do you want this tractor for?"
"The factory price is three thousand yuan."
The cost of the tractor has been calculated. The engine and tires are 500 yuan, and the various accessories purchased plus labor are about 1,000 yuan. The cost of a tractor is 1,600 yuan.
This thing is not a small profit but quick turnover thing, every unit sold must be treated as a unit.
Buyer Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The price is quite reasonable, but we can't do it without the necessary farm implements. We need at least a trailer. What's the point of just buying a trailer?"
"That's not a problem. We have already designed the drawings for these things. We can produce them as long as you bring them to us when you need them."
"How much is a tow truck?"
"Eight hundred dollars for a tow truck."
The trailer was just a pair of tires with iron sheets and steel beams on the outside, and it cost about three hundred dollars at the time.
"Let's order three sets first, including the aircraft and trailer. Do you have any other ideas?"
Wan Feng and Zhang Hai exchanged a glance and said, "We can give a fifty yuan discount on each of the truck and trailer. It's not listed on the invoice."
Purchaser Xiao obviously understood what he meant and nodded.
"Let me discuss this with Lao Li."
A few minutes later, Lao Li came back driving a tractor.
The buyer named Xiao pulled Lao Li to a place and discussed with him for more than ten minutes.
Finally, two people walked up to Wan Feng and Zhang Hai.
"We all agree that this tractor is very suitable. We will rush back to the company tomorrow to report this to the company. We definitely want the tractor. When we come back, the company will send a truck to take it back directly. The round trip will take about four or five days. We hope that you can install the tires and build the trailer within these four or five days to avoid any delays."
"That's no problem. I promise you won't cause any trouble when you come."
Purchaser Xiao looked at his watch and said, "Then we won't delay here any longer. We'll stay at Hongya tonight and return tomorrow."
"Then I'll take you to Red Cliff."
Wan Feng rode his motorcycle and took the two buyers to a hotel near Hongya Bus Station.
