On the morning of July 2, a group of five people including Chairman and Vice Chairman Tangshan Songshang were going to visit Xinghai Group.

The call was not made directly to Xinghai Group, but to the official District Z office first.

Mu Yang was a little surprised when he received a call from the leader of District Z government. The leader of District Z government told him that Tangshan Songshang’s senior management wanted to visit Xinghai Group and asked him if he agreed to the meeting.

Mu Yang couldn't figure out what Tangshan Songshang's senior management wanted to do. Is it really just a visit?

He doesn't believe it if he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing!

Especially islanders!

Mu Yang doesn't have a good or bad opinion of the islanders. To be honest, when they do business, they are very reputable and pay attention to quality. If you sell products to them, they will inspect them very carefully and ask about the production process, raw material sources, and packaging of the products.

They are careful about the process, etc. This is something Mu Yang admires very much about them.

Speaking of shrewdness, I really don't have the "shrewdness" and cleverness of Chinese businessmen.

Mu Yang didn't believe Tangshan Songshang. It was just that the two sides had different positions. They were not just competitors, but he fundamentally did not want the islanders' enterprises to develop further.

No reason, just some passion.

So what if he's irrational? If he doesn't do it, who will?

Unable to figure out the intentions of Tangshan Songshang's senior management, Mu Yang agreed to the other party's request and set a time for the two parties to meet at ten o'clock in the morning on July 3.

Mu Yang was not afraid of Tangshan Songshang Company, nor was he afraid of competing with them. From the moment he decided to engage in industry, it was definitely competition among peers. To put it harshly, it could even reach the point where it was either you die or I live.

What Mu Yang is worried about is the headquarters on Songshang in Tangshan. It is a behemoth, and it is bigger than the smaller one.

If we can't defeat it anymore, we might use the authorities to suppress the Xinghai Group.

Small companies will not rise to this level, but large companies will with high-end technology. Warwick has been targeted by the US and island countries.

In the future, with Muyang's trend of cheating and developing top technologies, Xinghai Group will inevitably be targeted by these countries.

In this era, the country will definitely support Xinghai Group, but if it rises to this level, it will have some impact on Xinghai Group.

This time, the senior management of Tangshan Songshang made the transfer request directly through the official government. They probably knew that if they called or sent a letter to their competitor Xinghai Group, they would be more likely to be rejected, and they would lose face.

Damn it, these people from the island country are really Hua Guotong, they actually followed him to play Houhei and learn this trick.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yang called Yang Hai and Zhou Chen to tell them about the incident.

"What else can we do? It must be about the second-guaranteed welding machine. Their sales of Panasonic's second-guaranteed welding machine have been affected, and it has been seriously affected. They have come to settle accounts with us." Yang Hai said bluntly, smiling.

Said, "If you can't do it by force, let's do it by force. I felt happy when I heard this. They sell the 500 basic model for 32,000 yuan, which is so expensive!"

We’ll just sell it for 16,700 yuan and ask them to lower the price, but they can’t lower it!”

Yang Hai said very comfortably that it was possible to reduce the price of Songshang welding machine by a few thousand, but he would definitely not want to reduce it from 32,000 to less than 20,000.

If you want to play price strategy, you can't do it.

Zhou Chen was silent for a while and said cautiously: "It is impossible to settle accounts with us, but there must be some conspiracy. The islanders are quite clever at playing this trick. Chairman, we must pay attention to the other party. No matter what the other party makes,

Don’t agree too quickly.”

"Now everyone is guessing here, maybe they are wrong. Anyway, if the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the ground. We can only do this. But it is right to prepare countermeasures for various situations that may be discovered. We cannot underestimate any opponent."

Mu Yang touched his chin for a while and thought, then smiled easily.

The three of them sat on the sofa drinking tea, freely using their imaginations to guess each other's possible plots.

***************

At ten o'clock the next morning,

Mu Yang, Zhou Chen and Yang Hai met with five people from Tangshan Songshang Company in the conference room.

The leader of the District Z government first introduced Mu Yang: "This is Mr. Du Ping, the chairman of Tangshan Matsushang, Mr. Hamamoto, the vice chairman, Mr. Misen, the general manager, Masao Kosaka, the technical director, and Shoichi Fukuda, the sales director."

The youngest of these five people is in their forties, and Du Ping and Hamamoto are both in their fifties and sixties. All five of them wear suits and leather shoes, which are very formal. Mu Yang has to admire that this island countryman is meticulous in his career.

very serious.

After introducing the five visitors, the leader of District Z government introduced Mu Yang, the chairman of Xinghai Group, to the five visitors.

"Your Excellency Mu Yang, I have admired you for a long time." Mr. Du Ping extended his right hand, "I have often seen Mr. Mu's heroic appearance and related reports in the media news. I admire him very much. He founded a group company worth tens of billions at just twenty years old.

"

"Mr. Du, you're welcome." Mu Yang shook hands with him. The visitor is a guest. No matter what the other party's conspiracy is, he should be polite.

But when it comes to interests, those who should be tough should be tough.

After shaking hands with him, he introduced Yang Hai and Zhou Chen to the other five people, then took the five of them to the conference room to sit down and let the receptionist pour tea.

The district leader exited the meeting room, did not participate in what the two parties wanted to discuss, and waited in the reception room. He hoped that Songshang Company could invest in H City. Songshang was a behemoth and he must pay attention to it.

In the conference room.

After the two parties sat down, Mu Yang didn't say anything and just sat quietly drinking tea, as did Yang Hai and Zhou Chen.

The two sides were silent for a minute.

Tangshan Matsugami and his group were embarrassed. Seeing such an atmosphere, Hamamoto opened the topic directly:

"Mr. Mu, we came to visit Xinghai Group Company mainly because we want to have further cooperation with you."

"Oh, Mr. Hamamoto, let's talk about it." Mu Yang smiled faintly and spread his right hand to ask for instructions to continue. He and Tangshan Matsugami didn't even cooperate, so there was no need to go further.

Hamamoto was filled with a smile as warm as the spring breeze and said sincerely: "I would like to ask, has Mr. Mu ever thought about selling the second-guaranteed welding machine division?"

One party and others from Xinghai Group were a little surprised that they actually wanted to buy Xinghai Group’s secondary welding machine factory!

What a joke!

Mu Yang suppressed his surprise and remained calm. He felt that the matter was not that simple. He did not refuse. He wanted to hear the price offered by the other party: "Oh, how much do you want? Tell me."

Hamamoto coughed, but was surprised that he was not rejected. He said seriously: "After our valuation of Xinghai Group's secondary welding machine factory, it is 500 million yuan, including the technology transfer of the secondary welding machine."

Mu Yang frowned when he heard this, lowered his head slightly, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and then returned to calmness.

Seeing Hamamoto's serious face, Mu Yang was not angry. He curved his mouth again, smiled and said: "Mr. Hamamoto, how about I make a condition and sell me your Tangshan Songshang factory?

100 million yuan, I don’t want any technology, let alone a production line.”

Hamamoto laughed: "Mr. Mu really knows how to joke, but Tangshan Songshang doesn't know how to sell it."

"Then since you know how to make a joke, I'll make a joke too, haha." Of course Mu Yang is not interested in buying the Tangshan Songshang Factory, and Mu Yang doesn't like their production line.

The two brands of welding machines are different and it is impossible to match the production lines. Non-standard equipment such as tooling fixtures cannot be used. Only regular equipment can be used, such as blanking shears, bending machines, laser cutting machines, etc.

It is estimated that many of those conventional equipment were purchased by Tangshan Songshang Company a few years ago, or even more than ten years ago, and Mu Yang would not like them.

The only things that are worth looking at are skilled workers and factories. The most valuable thing is their nearly 100 acres of factory buildings. Excluding technology, in Mu Yang's eyes, the real estimate is one to two hundred million yuan, so he offered a price of 100 million yuan, not counting it.

Outrageous.

Of course, although it was a joke, if Tangshan Songshang really sold it to him, then he would have no problem transferring it and making tens of millions.

In order to analyze the situation of competitors, Muyang had an in-depth understanding of Tangshan Songshang's factory and technical conditions.

Tangshan Songshang's production line is not as good as Muyang's design. With the same monthly production of 5,000 units, Xinghai Group only needs one production line, while Tangshan Songshang Company needs two production lines and twice as many workers as Xinghai Group's secondary welding

Machinery factory.

For this alone, the labor cost of Tangshan Songshang Company is twice that of Xinghai Group. Adding in the cost of the production line, the production cost of Songshang 500GL secondary welding machine may be six to seven thousand yuan.

Tangshan Songshang Co., Ltd. adopts an agency system and has established about 50 agency stores across the country to sell welding machines. In principle, it does not adopt a direct sales mechanism. This alone has reduced Tangshan Songshang’s profits by a large margin.

Tangshan Songshang does not engage in direct sales for various reasons, mainly because it is difficult to control sales costs, and Songshang is not a local company and is suspicious of Chinese people.

In addition, the research and development costs are different, which is definitely much higher than that of Xinghai Group.

Of course, senior officials such as Tangshan Songshang don’t know how much the Xinghai Group’s research and development expenses are, but they can definitely guess that it won’t be very high. Xinghai Group has only been established for a long time, and it has developed the world’s most advanced secondary welding machine, which shows that it has

It may be a big accident, and I was very lucky to develop it.

Which welding machine factory doesn't conduct research and development for at least one or two years, and then continuously improve during the production process. Tangshan Songshang has been established for 16 years since its establishment in 1994. This time cost is very high.

The comprehensive cost of Xinghai Group’s secondary welding machine 500US2 is about 3,800 yuan, which does not include research and development costs.

The more you sell, the lower the R&D costs spread over each welding machine.

If Tangshan Songshang’s R&D cost is 300 million yuan, and so far it has sold 300,000 sets of secondary welding machines of various series, the R&D cost divided into each set of secondary welding machines is 1,000 yuan, which is a very large sum.

Big cost.

The comprehensive cost before tax is already 10,000 yuan.

But if it’s more than 300 million yuan, there may not be such high R&D costs.

For example, if the research and development cost is 300 million yuan, the comprehensive cost is about 6,000 yuan higher than that of Xinghai Group.

Even though Tangshan Songshang sells a 500GL second-grade welding machine for 32,000 yuan, the ex-factory price sold to an agency is only about 24,000 yuan, and the gross profit is about 13,000 yuan. In comparison, it only sells for 17,000 yuan.

Qian’s Xinghai Group’s secondary welding machine has little difference in gross profit between the two parties.

The problem is that Tangshan Songshang will continue to develop new models. If sales are not optimistic, it will really lose money.

Nowadays, Xinghai Group is dumping high-end secondary welding machines at low prices. If the sales price is the same as that of Xinghai Group, which is 17,000 yuan, then the ex-factory price of Tangshan Songshang is up to 12,000 yuan. Maybe Xinghai will not be able to compete with it.

group.

The sales volume is low, the R&D cost allocated to each secondary welding machine is more than 1,000 yuan, and the comprehensive cost before tax is more than 10,000 yuan. After Tangshan Songshang pays taxes, he will have no money to make, and may even

Losing money.

In fact, Tangshan Songshang and others did not plan to buy the Xinghai Group's factory. This was just a preliminary test, knowing that the other party would not sell it.

What they want to buy is the core technology of Xinghai Group's secondary welding machine, and they have other intentions.

Some time ago.

Tangshan Songshang sent an engineer to pretend to be a worker to work at the Xinghai Group's secondary welding machine factory. After finding out the good news, he resigned and returned to Tangshan Songshang to report to the company. Tangshan Songshang's senior management knew about the Xinghai Group's production line situation, plus the welding machine technology.

Better than them, which is why they want to acquire the core technology of Xinghai Group.

Before the senior management of Tangshan Songshang made this decision, Chairman Du Ping reminded all senior management:

"Don't forget, China is not the China it was more than ten years ago. Chinese people are not so easily deceived by us. Xinghai Group won the IGP lawsuit a few months ago. Their chairman Mu Yang doesn't know anything.

A rural farmer, even a college student should not be underestimated. He is very shrewd and a true entrepreneur.

Xinghai Group's secondary protection welding machine has applied for a patent, and an announcement number was issued in June. Our R&D department has studied the other party's invention patents and equipment. The core technology of Xinghai Group's secondary protection welding machine is low spatter control technology.

Our Panasonic products are much better. Our main goal during this trip is to purchase their technology, or obtain authorization.

If you want to buy the other party’s factory, do you think they will agree?

You will definitely not agree, but you can test it. It is best to make the other party angry and disrupt the other party's thinking and negotiation rhythm.

In addition to technology, we can also cheat. Of course, I believe that the other party will not be so stupid, but we can try it first. If it succeeds, then we will lose a strong competitor in Matsushita.

Hamamoto, you are good at negotiating. It is up to you to negotiate this trip. If the atmosphere is not good, according to the Chinese saying, I will make a fool of myself and ease the atmosphere."

"Hi, I understand." Hamamoto nodded and took over the task.

Today, the two sides formally met.

At this moment.

Hamamoto was not too surprised by the current progress of the negotiations. His expression was calm, and Mu Yang, the other party, was not angry either, and was still smiling as calmly as ever.

When Mu Yang proposed to buy Tangshan Songshang, they were not angry and only treated it as a joke.

Hammoto made a second suggestion: "Mr. Mu, I think the price of Xinghai Group's secondary welding machine is too low."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hammoto, how much does our Xinghai Group charge? We don't need to go through Tangshan Songshang, right?" Mu Yang laughed angrily.

"Mr. Mu, you misunderstood. The market for secondary-guaranteed welding machines in China is huge. Your secondary-guaranteed welding machine is indeed good. There is no need to sell it cheaply. In my opinion, it is priced at the same price as our Songshang secondary-guaranteed welding machine.

If it's more than ten thousand, wouldn't it be better? Xinghai Group's profits should be at least several times higher, so we can occupy the market together.

At the same time, we at Songshang Welding can use our sales channels to help Xinghai Group explore the international market."

"We have our own conclusion on the price increase." Mu Yang was a little surprised: "However, it is indeed a very good suggestion for Panasonic to help us develop the international market. I would like to ask, can we underwrite the sales of 200,000 second-guaranteed welding machines in a year?

"

Similarly, Yang Hai and Zhou Chen were also surprised by the suggestion from Tangshan Songshang's senior management. Both of them were old friends and certainly didn't believe that Tangshan Songshang had such good intentions.

Hamamoto smiled gently and said: "We can underwrite the sales, up to 50,000 sets of secondary-guaranteed welding machines."

Mu Yang didn't expect that the other party actually agreed.

Exporting 50,000 units a year is a lot. Xinghai Group may not be able to sell so many units through its own channels.

However, Mu Yang was not happy about Xinghai Group giving up the international market and being a competitor.

However, he still asked more: "What about the price?"

"We help Xinghai Group sell, and of course we have to make a portion of the profit. We can follow Xinghai Group's ex-factory price, but some designs must be made according to our Panasonic."

After listening to Hamamoto's words, Mu Yang finally understood the conspiracy of the other party's suggestion. He estimated that they would buy equipment from Xinghai Group, then remove the trademarks and replace them with Matsushita's trademarks for sale. Xinghai Group would be equivalent to a foundry, and the cost might be higher than their own.

The manufacturing quality is low.

This kind of thing is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.

If it were an ordinary factory, I would really be willing to work.

"The ex-factory price of 500US2 is 13,000 yuan. Are you willing to purchase it?"

"This ex-factory price is a bit high, but if it is this price, you must share the entire set of welding machine technology with us, Tangshan Songshang, so that we can better explain the working principle of Xinghai Group's welding machine to our customers when we sell it.

.”

When Mu Yang heard this, he guessed the other party's true intention. After going around in circles, he realized that the sales agency was just a lie.

If the ex-factory price of Xinghai Group is really low, Tangshan Songshang might really be willing to buy it and then sell it as an OEM. After digesting Xinghai Group's technology, if new technology is developed, then the consignment sale will be cancelled.

"Hamamoto, Mr. Du Ping, just tell me directly, whichever technology of our Xinghai Group's secondary welding machine you like, I will sell it if I can. I don't plan to cooperate with Matsushita Company for overseas sales." Mu Yang didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.

"this"

Hamamoto didn't expect Mu Yang to be impatient, and thought he had agreed to do the work, and he could see their intentions.

Du Ping from Tangshan Songshang smiled and said: "Mr. Mu is quick to speak, and I have to say it bluntly. I wonder if Mr. Mu plans to transfer the secondary welding machine technology, or maybe authorize it."

Mu Yang really admired the patience of these islanders for going around in such a big circle and said directly: "I have compared Panasonic's welding machines. What you need is, I'm afraid, not a complete set of technology, but low spatter control technology, right?"

As soon as Mu Yang said it, the eyes of the five people on the other side widened slightly, and they didn't expect that Mu Yang guessed it right.

Hammoto glanced at Du Ping and said: "Mr. Mu, what we really need is low splash control technology. It can be transferred or licensed. Please give me a price, as long as the price is reasonable."

Mu Yang had already figured out the other party's intention, and didn't want to be verbose anymore, so he refused directly: "Sorry, core technology is the foundation for a company's survival. I think everyone understands that we will not sell this technology, nor will we authorize it.

"

The low spatter control technology of the secondary welding machine is the core technology and Muyang will not sell it.

This low spatter control technology also involves molten pool control, which directly affects the shape of the weld, that is, the appearance of the weld.

If it is sold, Xinghai Group's secondary-guaranteed welding machines will not have much advantage, which is equivalent to Xinghai Group withdrawing from the secondary-guaranteed welding machine market.

Now Xinghai Group has applied for a patent. If others want to study low splash control technology, they can only bypass Xinghai Group's technology. Even if they apply for a patent for optimization, they cannot bypass Xinghai Group's patent for production and sales, otherwise it will be patent infringement.

"Mr. Mu, is there no chance of cooperation at all? Can we sell it for 300 million yuan, or exclusively license it for 30 million yuan per year? This price is very sincere."

"Thank you for your appreciation of Xinghai Group's technology. The price you offered is indeed very sincere, but I don't want to sell it yet. I will let you know when it is sold." Mu Yang is not thinking about money now. He is not short of money.

Instead, they want to withdraw these foreign welding machine brand manufacturers from the Chinese market.

Tangshan Songshang sells 50,000 secondary welding machines in China every year. In the future, the Chinese market will be bigger, and Tangshan Songshang will earn more.

If Xinghai Group takes half of the market of Tangshan Songshang, it will be 20,000 to 30,000 units, with a gross profit of 200 to 300 million yuan. Adding in other foreign brands, it may be more than one billion yuan.

If authorized to Tangshan Songshang Company, Xinghai Group would only receive 30 million yuan per year, which would be meaningless.

In the next few years, Xinghai Group may have greater conflicts with Songshang Headquarters. Now, if we authorize the other party, we are subsidizing the enemy.

Anyway, it will be a fight sooner or later. Now that Xinghai Group has hardened its wings, it doesn’t matter how many years ago it was.

With a reading system, are cheaters still afraid of Songshang, an overseas company?

If I can't compete overseas for the time being, then I will stay in China for the time being. If you have the ability, come and bite me!

When I become stronger, I will try to take advantage of your country's market.

In Mu Yang's opinion, it would be a great sense of accomplishment to defeat Matsukami, even if it was just one of dozens of divisions.

Next, the two sides have nothing to talk about.

Mu Yang's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to talk about cooperation.

"Since Mr. Mu doesn't even want to talk about licensing or raise prices, let's see you in the market." Du Ping, chairman of Tangshan Songshang, originally played the bad guy, but in the end he was asked to play the red face and made a cruel remark.

.

The two parties broke up unhappy, and Tangshan Songshang and the other five people left.

The leaders of District Z government did not go in to listen to what the two parties were talking about, but when they saw Tangshan Songshang and his party leaving angrily, they probably knew that the two parties had not reached a cooperation agreement, so they did not say anything. They spoke to Mu Yang a few times, indicating that they were just receiving them normally.

It's just a process, so he doesn't mind.

Mu Yang knew what the leaders of House Z meant, and they just didn't want to offend both parties. Xinghai Group was currently investing heavily, so he didn't want to offend Mu Yang.

When Du Ping left Xinghai Group, he took one last look at the gate and thought to himself: This Xinghai Group may be the enemy of Songshang Company in the future.

In the car, no one said anything, and they were silent all the way.

They are careful and suspicious.

After lunch, when they returned to the hotel, the five of them tacitly gathered in the bedroom of Du Ping's hotel to have a small meeting.

Except for Du Ping, the other four people all lowered their heads slightly and put their hands on their knees, like children admitting their mistakes.

In their country, there is a strict class hierarchy, and the same is true in the company.

Du Ping was a little unhappy and turned to Hammoto: "Hamamoto, what do you think of Mu Yang?"

Hamamoto raised his head slightly and said respectfully: "Chairman, I think he is wise, has a firm mind and is not easily influenced by others. He is not as crooked as a Chinese businessman, but he seems to be a little hostile to our people. I am following

During the conversation, his hostility was not very obvious, but when I looked at his eyes, I felt it was there."

"Hamamoto, your analysis is very accurate, but you are saying that he is hostile to our people. Which Chinese people are not hostile to our people? Maybe we are suspicious.

I have a hunch that Xinghai Group will be our number one enemy in Songshang in the future!

It is developing too fast, and several of their patents have reached the world's first-class level, and laser welding and this secondary welding machine have reached the world's top level." Du Ping frowned and said sadly, "I hope I

You must be worrying too much."

"The chairman has made a thorough analysis. Xinghai Group is now hostile to us and unwilling to cooperate. The sales of our secondary welding machine products last month were not satisfactory. The products are piled in the warehouse. Chinese customers would rather wait for one."

They are unwilling to purchase our products." Sales Director Fukuda Masaichi said angrily, "This damn Xinghai Group has set its price too low!"

"Currently we don't have a good response plan. We can't start a price war with Xinghai Group, and we can't afford it. However, the price should be lowered. All models of second-grade welding machines should reduce the price by 2,000 to 3,000. Let's be a

Promotional activities." Du Ping quickly decided after careful consideration, "I will discuss with my friends at OTC. I estimate that they have also been affected by Xinghai Group and see how to deal with this competitor."

Du Ping has always paid little attention to his competitors.

But Xinghai Group has had too much influence on them, disrupting the entire secondary welding machine market.

After the small meeting, Du Ping called Yamamoto Ichiro, the general manager of OTC Huaguo Company.

After a while, the call was connected.

Du Ping got straight to the topic: "Yamamoto, how was your sales of second-guaranteed welding machines last month?"

Ichiro Yamamoto was a little surprised when he received a call from Du Ping. He thought about it for a while and quickly figured it out. He said respectfully: "To be honest, our sales last month were not very good. The impact of robots was not big and there were normal fluctuations. But manual welding and

The market for special welding machines has dropped by one-third, Mr. Du Ping, how are you doing?"

"Our price is higher than yours, and the impact is greater. We will discount it in half." Du Ping was very reluctant to mention today's matter, but he called Yamamoto Ichiro just to form a common strategy. After all, we are all companies from the same country. "Today, we

I went to see Xinghai Group to discuss cooperation, but the other party was unwilling to cooperate."

"Are you talking about Mu Yang from Xinghai Group? Their secondary welding machines are selling very well. We are influenced by this Chinese brand. I didn't expect that you would be affected so seriously. I wonder what strategy Mr. Du Ping has?"

"There is no good strategy. I have decided to reduce the price of all models of our Panasonic second-grade welding machines by 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. As a friendly businessman, I will also inform you and be prepared accordingly."

"Thank you, Mr. Du Ping, for informing us. Let's have a meeting to discuss it." After Yamamoto Ichiro and Du Ping finished chatting, they immediately held a meeting.

In the end, Yamamoto Ichiro decided to also sell OTC at a reduced price, and the market price of the Xinghai Group type second-guaranteed welding machine was reduced by one thousand yuan.

The battle between Xinghai Group and OTC and Songshang Welding Machines started silently after the cooperation negotiations between the two parties broke down.

After Tangshan Songshang and the other five people left, Mu Yang had not ended the meeting yet.

Mu Yang drank a few sips of tea to moisten his throat. He spoke a little angrily. Didn't he do any exercise recently?

He knocked on the table and said solemnly to Yang Hai and Zhou Chen: "Tangshan Songshang Company's intention is very obvious, that is, it wants to buy our core technology. From now on, the two sides will be enemies on the surface, and we will not care about each other."

If there is any conspiracy, everyone should do their job well."

Yang Hai suggested: "Boss, our sales plan seems to have changed. Before sales, the annual sales plan was 300,000 sets of secondary welding machines. I think, OTC, Panasonic and other high-end

If the brand is destroyed and the hand welding market is captured, it may be possible to sell 500,000 units a year, and this does not include overseas markets."

Mu Yang understood what Yang Hai said and turned to Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhou Chen thought for a while and quickly came up with an idea: "We only have one factory in H City. Even after the headquarters base is built, the production factories are too concentrated. We have to ship to all parts of the country. The transportation cost is very high, and H

Labor costs are not low.

In addition, if we want to produce 500,000 secondary welding machines per year, we will need to recruit 3,000 people for ten production lines, which will bring a lot of difficulties to recruitment. Our headquarters base dormitory will not be put into use until the end of the year. At present,

It is difficult to find so many accommodations for employees near the company.

I think we can establish a production factory in Chengdu and Dongwan. The labor cost in Chengdu is relatively low and the demand for secondary welding machines is also great. At the same time, it is close to the industrial city of Chongqing and can meet the demand for secondary welding machines in western cities;

In D Wan, it is easy to recruit electronic workers, which can reduce our production costs. Our products can also be sold to surrounding areas, and we can also expand to nearby provinces and cities such as Guizhou and Hunan.

There is another reason. It is difficult for us to find idle factories nearby. We can look for them in Chengdu and Dwan. We can directly rent the factory buildings or buy them directly. Within three months, as long as the production lines are in place, I guarantee that each factory can complete the work.

Increase production by 10,000 units per month.”

Mu Yang's eyes lit up after hearing this, Zhou Chen's suggestion was really good.

For a long time, he wanted to centralize production management, but the plan could not keep up with changes.

In addition, he did not want to use the headquarters base as a labor-intensive factory.

He now has a lot of cash, and Xinghai Group also has enough cash flow. Buying a factory of one or two hundred acres will generally not exceed 300 million yuan.

Mu Yang quickly decided: "Mr. Zhou's suggestion is feasible. I will ask the investment company to send people to the local area immediately to investigate. I will call Yang Nian later and ask her to arrange personnel.

Let's do this. This matter is urgent. An inspection team will be sent to each place. The inspection team will be mainly staff from the investment company. The company's technical department and quality department will provide assistance. Try to select candidates who are familiar with the local area. Mr. Zhou, you will arrange it later.

personnel.

When we arrive at the local area, we directly express investment to the local Z government. With the help of the local Z government, we will quickly find a suitable factory and negotiate quickly. We will strive to complete the factory acquisition within five days and complete the commissioning task within two months, at the latest

No more than three months.

Let this matter be settled like this. Mr. Yang, you are keeping an eye on the developments of various welding machine manufacturers, especially Tangshan Songshang and OTC. They are both island companies and often jointly take actions.

Mr. Zhou, please arrange the production line issues. Some production tasks can be postponed, focusing on the production line."

"Okay, got it."

Yang Hai and Zhou Chen both nodded. They had nothing to discuss and then left to make arrangements.

Mu Yang returned to his office and immediately called Yang Nian to give an overview of today's situation.

Yang Nian received a call and said she would come to Xinghai Group immediately.

The Xinghai Investment Company office is not far from Xinghai Group, and Yang Nian can drive there in half an hour.

It happened to be lunch time after get off work in the morning. Mu Yang called the chef and asked him to fry two side dishes, and then ate with her in the cafeteria.

When the two of them arrived at the canteen, it was relatively late. Most of the workers had left after eating and wanted to go back to their dormitories to rest. The company now starts work at eight o'clock in the morning, and workers have to go ten minutes earlier; at noon, workers get off work at twelve o'clock.

You should get off work ten minutes early to eat, and office workers should wait a little later, staggering the dining peak period.

I go to work at 1:30 p.m., give me enough lunch break, and don't get off work until 5:30 p.m.

If you work overtime at night, you have to work overtime from six o'clock to nine o'clock in the evening.

After nine o'clock, no matter how busy you are or how many orders you have, you are not allowed to work overtime.

Muyang's philosophy is that if it's really busy, then it's time to process people and factories. Recently, the orders have really increased so much that they can't deliver the goods in time, so they have to let the workers work overtime.

Mu Yang took the dish, made some dishes for himself, and found a round table in the hall to sit down. He was a regular customer at this table, and he often ate with Yang Hai and other senior officials, and ordinary employees would not sit here.

Although they all eat in the canteen and queue up in the same way, he is the boss after all, so it is normal to be a little special. The employees also understand that they do not necessarily want to sit with ordinary employees. So what is the point? Do you show it to the employees? It’s okay.

significance.

After Mu Yang and Yang Nian sat down, the chef quickly brought out two plates of side dishes, added another plate of soup, and asked respectfully: "Boss, do you need any more dishes?"

"That's enough, it's just the two of us, let's just eat whatever we want."

"Okay." The chef knows that the boss doesn't like to eat any delicacies, so home-cooked side dishes will be fine.

Mu Yang was not used to talking about business while eating.

Not long after the two of them finished eating, the chef brought over a plate of cut watermelon.

This season happens to be the best time to eat watermelon.

In the company cafeteria, employees prepare their own meals. There is a loudspeaker that shouts in an infinite loop, "Please line up to get food and rice. Take as much as you can eat. Don't waste it. Don't talk while serving food. Pay attention to personal hygiene and don't take away the spoon."

This was done by the canteen staff and it is quite effective. Once the employees develop a habit of it, it will be fine.

After the meal, the company provides free fruit, and the kitchen aunt helps cut it and puts it on the table at the entrance of the canteen. Now is the watermelon season, and each person can receive a small piece of watermelon, which weighs about six or seven taels.

Mu Yang and Yang Nian had dinner and returned to the chairman's office. They drank tea and talked about investments.

The investment company is already operating normally and is currently collecting investment information.

Now Mu Yang proposes to invest in factories in Chengdu and Dwan, and it is very urgent. The investment in this factory belongs to Xinghai Group, not to the investment company. The investment company is now a joint-stock company with a registered capital of 5 billion yuan, and Yang Nian holds 1.1%.

As for the two companies Mu Yang invested in his hometown, he invested 70 million yuan, which is considered to be disbursed from 5 billion yuan and is managed by the investment company.

Since the finances of the two companies have been separately accounted for, Xinghai Group will need to pay labor fees to the investment company.

The investment company has investment talents. Currently, there are a total of fifty people in the team. They specialize in various fields. Let the investment company find the fastest, most suitable negotiation with factory owners, and negotiate policies with the local Z government. We all have professional talents.

You can save a lot of money and it's extremely efficient.

"Okay, I'll arrange the personnel immediately." Yang Nian recorded the boss's affairs and left Xinghai Group after nothing happened.

When she went to work in the afternoon, she immediately held a meeting, arranged for two teams to set out for inspection that day, and she made the final decision.
