Houston was in a very good mood at this time. After sending the media away, he almost held Li Mubai's hand and returned to the office. Now a batch of cars have been produced, but Li Mubai told him that they are not yet on the market.
Houston really valued Li Mubai's opinion when it came to the market.
"Li, should our car be ready for the market already?" Houston was not only excited, but also a little anxious. Although his father once hinted to him, among the many children, he definitely has the qualifications to compete.
.
However, he hopes even more to be able to speak with his power. As long as Giant sells well, he doesn't have to worry about anyone in the family being crooked.
"How much production can we achieve now?" Li Mubai did not give a direct answer, but first asked about the production capacity.
"According to the current speed, about 60,000 vehicles can be completed in a month, but the speed will increase next month. After all, this is a skilled job." Houston is relatively familiar with the production situation.
"Increase production capacity and strive to achieve an output of 200,000 units in the first quarter. We will only produce one million units of this car." Li Mubai calculated the time, and also made a request, and said: "We will be global in three months.
It will be launched simultaneously in 20 countries. After the first quarter of production, I will hand over the design drawings of the new model to you, and then start making preliminary preparations for the production of the new model."
"Li, why do we only produce one million vehicles?" When Li Mubai was talking, Houston did not interrupt. After Li Mubai finished speaking, he raised his doubts.
"Houston, I want to ask you, at what price do you plan to sell our car?" Li Mubai poured himself a glass of red wine and sat lazily on the sofa.
"I have calculated the cost of this." Houston also poured himself a glass of wine and said: "The materials, labor, management and other costs of each car are all added up, which is almost one hundred and thirty US dollars. I
We plan to sell each car for US$390, so if we produce one million vehicles a year, that will be a profit of US$260 million!"
When talking about the final profit, Field's voice rose a lot. Although he only owned 40% of the shares, it was still a profit of nearly 70 million. When he was making bicycles in the past, he could make several million a year.
The profits were already incredible. Thinking about it now, Houston feels like he is the luckiest man in the world.
"Houston, does 260 million satisfy you?" The expression on Li Mubai's face was very indifferent, no, it should be said that there was a bit of disdain.
"Isn't Li's profit of 260 million a year worth celebrating?" Houston's excitement was defeated by Li Mubai's indifference. He couldn't understand why Li Mubai didn't show any excitement at all. Even a small one.
A little excitement can also give him a sense of accomplishment. However, Houston was disappointed. The expression on Li Mubai's face was very, very calm, so calm that it made his balls ache.
"Houston, the car I designed and the new materials cost you only $390. Don't you think it's too cheap?" Li Mubai saw Houston's blank look on his face, and he raised his glass elegantly.
, drank the red wine in the glass, and said slowly: "I prefer the number 9. Therefore, our Giant is priced at US$1,900."
"Li!" Houston opened his mouth for a long time before he recovered and said, "Are you sure you are not drunk?"
"Houston, don't forget, the material of this car is the only one in the world. And the design is the only one in the world. Plus me, do you think 1,900 US dollars is expensive?" Li Mubai asked Xiu.
He paused for a moment to think, and then said: "Our Giant will be the aristocrat, king, and luxury product in the bicycle industry! This is my positioning of Giant, and this is why I tell you that we will only produce one million units.
reasons."
"This..." Houston really didn't think that much before. In his opinion, if it can be sold for three hundred and ninety US dollars, it is already three times the profit, which is already crazy enough.
However, he found that in front of Li Mubai, he was not crazy at all. He was simply childish, yes, childish like a kindergarten kid.
He never thought that a bicycle could have more than ten times the profit, and he never thought about building a king in the industry and becoming a world-famous brand and luxury product.
Presumably this is why Li Mubai was able to take 60% of the shares with just a design drawing and a material. It must also be the gap between himself and Li Mubai.
If calculated based on Li Mubai's price, even if he only owned 40% of the shares, he would still be a billionaire. This is just a first-year product.
After hearing what Li Mubai said just now, there is a second model, and there should even be a third model.
Just a new type of mountain bike is very likely to make you a billionaire.
Win-win!
These two words that Li Mubai said at the beginning echoed in Houston's ears. Yes, this is a win-win situation!
"Don't be happy so early." Seeing Houston's excitement, Li Mubai promptly poured a basin of cold water on his head and said, "A brand needs high-quality after-sales service. Remember, we
We must provide the highest quality service to all those who buy our products. No matter how short supply our products are, this is an unchangeable purpose. What is luxury jewelry? That is, while enjoying noble products, you must also be noble.
Only with excellent service can our customers feel their distinguished status.”
Speaking of this, Li Mubai specifically emphasized it again: "Customers are our food and clothing parents, and our God. Therefore, in the future, any 4S store must erect a sign like this: Customers are God! This is our Giant characteristic.
, is also the only creed and concept!”
Houston now completely admires Li Mubai and is simply Li Mubai's crazy fan.
"Our factory still needs to be expanded, but I plan to build the new factory in China." After talking about sales, Li Mubai mentioned production. In China, not only can the cost of production be reduced, but it can also create foreign exchange for the country. This is completely
It's the best of both worlds. I just don't know if foreign-funded enterprises will be allowed. If possible, Li Mubai wouldn't mind opening the factory to Chuntao District.
"Li, you are the big boss, you can make the decision on these matters." Houston could understand Li Mubai. Although this guy now has British identity, he is still Chinese after all. This is a fact that can never be changed.
.
And it doesn't matter whether Li Mubai is Chinese or British. What matters is that Li Mubai is not only his partner, but also his best friend and brother.
"Houston, I won't have too much time to spend here." Li Mubai said frankly: "The reason why I want to expand the factory to China is that in addition to reducing the cost, I also plan to do it when the conditions are ripe.
In the case of motorcycle production, the profits are also very generous. Therefore, we cannot take care of both. As a boss, you do not have to make decisions every day, as long as you control the general direction. Management matters
, just leave it to someone who can manage it."
Li Mubai's words suddenly enlightened Houston. Yes, since you are the boss, you must enjoy the treatment of the boss. At worst, spend some money and find a management team, so that you can have a lot of time to enjoy life and pick up girls.
Li Mubai directly arranged the filming of the commercial to Oriental DreamWorks. This is his industry anyway, and he just handed over the left hand to the right hand.
After leaving Giant, Li Mubai dragged his somewhat tired body back to the smelting plant. Now the factory has long been on track. With the management provided by McKinsey, the factory is like a precision instrument, maintained accurately and step by step.
running.
Although Li Mubai did not come back before New Year's Day, red envelopes were distributed to every worker. The minimum was 300 Hong Kong dollars, the team leader was 500, and the middle management was 1,000. And these people who came from China
, just like the top management, everyone received a red envelope of two thousand, and the CEO, Li Mubai, directly received a red envelope of thirty thousand.
Such a big gesture not only made all the workers feel lucky to have met a good boss, but also the management team worked harder. However, Li Mubai also realized that the current scale was no longer enough.
Although the second generation of aluminum alloys has only been developed for a short time, Li Mubai has already set his sights on the third generation. This is an exciting material. It can not only be widely used in industry, but also in
It plays an indispensable role in national defense construction and military production.
However, before investing in research, Li Mubai felt that there was another more important matter to deal with, and that was Diana.
Although she concealed it very well and was almost impeccable. Even Li Mubai had a little doubt, whether he was too suspicious or whether his judgment was wrong.
But the experience accumulated over the years told Li Mubai to be firm in his judgment.
Obviously, no matter how sincere Li Mubai is, the other party will not admit his identity. And Li Mubai is even more unwilling to provoke the KGB. Those guys can be very lethal when they go crazy.
The Soviet Union is a fighting nation with strong industrial and military production capabilities. It is also a relatively leading country in the world in terms of military and industrial technology. However, there is not much time left for this country to face disintegration.
