"I need you to help me plan what products our company produces is the most suitable one." Feng Xiaochen said.

When he was in Germany, Feng Xiaochen talked about the positioning of the company to Yan Leqin and Feng Hua. He was planning to start with mechanical basic parts, gradually cultivate his strength, and eventually gain a place in the market.

The so-called basic parts involve a wide range, including bearings, gears and transmission devices, hydraulic components, pneumatic components, seals, chain transmission systems, couplings, brakes, clutches, fasteners, springs, powder metallurgy parts, molds, etc. Each item can be expanded into a long catalog. Companies that make basic parts can be as small as one or two machine tools, or as large as tens of billions of assets. Some companies focus on one aspect, while others take all kinds of things across fields. In short, making basic parts is a direction with very strong flexibility, which is very suitable for entrepreneurs like Feng Xiaochen who starts from scratch.

But it is because of its strong flexibility that it is easy to have so-called choice difficulties. With Feng Xiaochen's foresight, he can list 100 basic items worth doing, a considerable number of them know the technical know-how, can take many detours than others, and easily enter the forefront of this segment. But the problem is that he cannot occupy all these 100 directions from the beginning, and neither capital, technical strength nor business experience allow him to bloom everywhere. He must determine a reasonable entry order, eat one product at a time until he grows up to become a real giant.

So, where to start?

Feng Xiaochen himself could not answer this question. His understanding of the current equipment market is still very limited, and his knowledge is not enough to provide him with inspiration after decades. So he thought of asking Wang Weilong for help. This guy is a technical person and has worked in cutting-edge equipment in his original company, and his knowledge must be much broader than Feng Xiaochen. He needs Wang Weilong to help him determine which basic parts are the most urgently needed in China but cannot provide them himself. Feng Xiaochen started with such products, which can not only solve the problem of product sales, but also establish a good cooperative relationship with equipment companies through this kind of timely help.

"So you're using this idea."

Wang Weilong couldn't help laughing after hearing Feng Xiaochen explain his thoughts. This time, he believed that Feng Xiaochen was sincere in asking him for help because he knew that he did have advantages that Feng Xiaochen did not have in this regard.

"You are right." Wang Weilong said proudly, "I started a 120-ton electric wheel dump truck in Luoye. In order to equip the basic parts on the truck, I have never run to any country's province? I remember that in order to find a joint bearing, I took the purchaser to more than a dozen bearing factories. Finally, I found it in a county-owned bearing factory in Minjiang Province by someone's introduction. That bearing costs only a few dozen yuan, and our travel expenses cost several thousand."

Wang Weilong also told Feng Xiaochen about such stories in the past. His original company was named Luoqiu Metallurgical Machinery Factory in Zhongyuan Province. He once hosted a national-level equipment research and development project in the factory, which is the 120-ton electric wheel dump truck used for mining. At present, the prototype truck of this dump truck has been offline and is looking for mining to do industrial experiments everywhere. It takes tens of thousands of parts to be used, a considerable number of them are parts that they have not used in the past. Some need to be designed and manufactured by themselves, and some need to be purchased from foreign companies.

In Wang Weilong's previous narrative, almost every accessory purchase can make a thrilling movie. The technicians and buyers traveled through mountains and rivers, slept on large buns, and ate cold steamed buns. They overcame countless difficulties and obstacles. The purpose is to find a bearing that is used, or even a high-strength special screw.

"Then let's make up that." Feng Xiaochen said, "I hire you as a marketing consultant for the company. What you have to do is very simple, which is to track the dynamics of domestic basic parts demand and provide product information to the company in a timely manner."

"What a big tone." Wang Weilong smiled, "Xiao Feng, what you mean, as long as it is something missing on the market, you can produce it?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Of course not. If you have a specialized career, we must focus on a few areas first. However, this does not prevent us from taking the urgently needed products in the market as the key point."

Wang Weilong nodded and said, "I understand now, why do you want to have the dominance of the enterprise? If it were our traditional enterprises, we would not have the idea of ​​developing new products. By the way, Lao Cheng has a lot of experience in this regard, so you can also ask him."

Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "I will talk to him on Brother Cheng's side. There are so many capable people in our Metallurgical Bureau, and I will contact you. As for those who only know how to speak out, I am no longer interested."

This matter was decided. When Wang Weilong promised to return to Central Plains Province during the Spring Festival, he would help Feng Xiaochen contact retirees who were interested in working in Nanjiang, and promised confidently that the people he recommended must be outstanding and would not disappoint Feng Xiaochen. Wang Weilong also expressed that he would pay attention to the basic information for Feng Xiaochen and be a good consultant for Feng Xiaochen.

Regarding the issue of consultant fees, Feng Xiaochen did not explain in detail to Wang Weilong, but just mentioned it, and Wang Weilong did not ask too much. Because Feng Xiaochen just gave Wang Weilong a reward, the two sides seemed a little absurd when discussing the money. Based on the salary that Feng Xiaochen promised to give retirees, he would not be too stingy to pay Wang Weilong in the future, Wang Weilong felt confident about this.

After sending Feng Xiaochen away, Wang Weilong closed the door and began to eagerly take out the foreign exchange coupon that Feng Xiaochen had just given him, and counted it in saliva.

It costs 500 yuan and it is a coupon. This extra money can be made much more than the manuscript I translated for two years. Feng Xiaochen, this young man is really courageous. This is clearly the meaning of buying a horse bone with a wealth of money.

Wang Weilong remembered that last time his wife Xue Li came to BJ's family of three to go shopping, she accidentally entered a friendship store. When she saw a leather jacket for foreign trade, Xue Li couldn't move. He could clearly see that Xue Li really wanted a leather jacket like this, but the price was 280 yuan, and it was noted that foreign exchange exchange coupons were required, which was not something they could get.

During the days when Xue Li was in the capital, she muttered several times in front of Wang Weilong, saying how beautiful the leather jacket looked, and sighed that when people in China could be as rich as overseas Chinese, they could buy whatever clothes they wanted.

Xue Li is a competent housewife. She never spends money on herself. If there is a little delicious food at home, she will eat it first with her children, then Wang Weilong, and finally it is her turn. It is precisely because of this that Wang Weilong always feels that she is very sorry for her wife. She is also a deputy department-level cadre, full of knowledge, but she can't even afford to buy a leather jacket for her wife.

Who would have thought that in the most unlikely place, he actually made some money, and it was a foreign exchange coupon. When he saw this money, he remembered the foreign trade leather jacket. When he hypocritically said "No, don't," he actually thought about using this money, and bought the leather jacket without hiding it, and then suddenly showed it in front of her when he returned for the Chinese New Year. He even thought about how shocked, moved, and cried with joy. His thinking ran so far that he didn't hear anything Feng Xiaochen said to him at first.

Is it a violation of the principle to collect such a windfall? Wang Weilong felt that his mind was a little confused and could not figure out his thinking anyway.

Feng Xiaochen made it clear that the money was obtained by selling those technologies. As a drawing maker, Wang Weilong was very clear about those technologies. He could confirm that it was definitely not a confidential technology, that is, some very ordinary inventions. In the past, some technicians invented similar technologies. What they did was to write their inventions directly into articles and publish them in journals to earn a few dollars of manuscript fees. Wang Weilong once heard that some foreign institutions specialized in studying Chinese academic journals, used these publicly published technologies to apply for patents, and even went to Chinese companies to sue them with patents.

Feng Xiaochen is a man who knows how to sell technology abroad. Judging from the reward he paid himself, the price of selling should be not low. The country does not seem to say that it allows or does not allow it to make such money. Perhaps it is just a policy edge? Why didn’t I think about doing this in the past?

Well, even if I want to do this, I’m afraid it won’t work. Where can I find a German aunt who is a patent lawyer?

As for what Feng Xiaochen wants to do in the future, it seems that the same is true. It does not violate the policy, but it is also a bit shocking. In short, this is definitely not something that a national cadre dares to do, but Feng Xiaochen dares, and it is quite disturbing.

So, should I help him? Especially when it comes to being an advisor to Feng Xiaochen's company, is it considered a violation of part-time job or a sell-off of national intelligence? Well, is the last one too exaggerated? What kind of national intelligence is just what kind of basic parts does it require? When I was building a dump truck, if someone was willing to come to build basic parts for me, it would be too late to thank me, how could it be said that it was leaking intelligence?

If this is done well, Xiao Feng might pay himself a good reward, right? 100, or 200... Wang Weilong couldn't help but feel distracted.
