After seeing Yang E coming in, Zhao Shanhe asked her to sit down on the chair in front.
"Director, me!"
Yang E was a little hesitant.
After noticing Yang E's hesitation, Zhao Shanhe put down the document in his hand and looked over with a smile: "Yang E, this is not your style. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay, then I'll tell you directly."
Yang E bit her lip and said in a deep voice: "Director, do you want to mass-produce new water pumps?"
"right!"
Zhao Shanhe did not hesitate and nodded frankly.
"You have also seen that the senior engineers have developed a new type of water pump."
"This kind of water pump is more efficient than any previous water pump. Unless there is something more advanced than them, otherwise, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are the number one in the water pump industry."
"I want to mass-produce this first water pump, are there any questions?"
"have!"
Yang E didn't look sideways, nodded vigorously, and said slowly: "Not only is there a problem, but there is a big problem."
"Director, if you ask me to tell you, I will tell you directly."
"I don't think we are suitable for mass production of this new type of water pump at the moment."
"Of course, if you want to produce a few to try, I have no objection."
"After all, a water pump is also a product, and it can also enrich our product system."
"But if it's really about mass production, no!"
"Let me put it this way, as long as we mass-produce it, you will definitely not be able to sell it."
"At that time, there will be a pile of goods, which will definitely bring down our Hetu Manufacturing Company."
"Are you so sure?" Zhao Shanhe did not scold her directly, but looked at her with interest and asked with a smile, "Yang E, tell me why there will definitely be a backlog after production?"
"If you can give me a reason, I might consider your opinion."
"Then I'll tell you!"
Yang E sat upright, nodded, and said seriously: "If we want to have a market for the new water pump we developed, the first thing is that the price must be low."
"Without low prices, it will be difficult to seize the market just by relying on high power and high efficiency!"
"After all, as far as water pumps are concerned, the ones with low power and low efficiency are bought by many people. The key is that they are cheap!"
"Unless you have special needs, you will think about buying a high-power water pump."
"However, this type of special needs only accounts for a very small part of the market."
"The second thing is that the quality of our water pumps must be guaranteed. I don't have anything to say about this."
"After all, our new water pump is developed based on Jiuquan Hardware's old water pump, and the quality is definitely impeccable."
"The third and most important point is that the current water pump market is saturated."
"You don't know how many places I went to in order to sell the backlog of water pumps."
"I've been to every county in Handong City, but what's the result? They all have their own hardware factories and water pumps."
"It's useless even if I bring out the Jiuquan Hardware brand, people don't care about it at all."
"Nothing, I'll start going to other prefecture-level cities."
"Guess what?"
"It's still no use!"
Yang E asked and answered her own questions and said: "So I have concluded one thing, that is, whoever produces the water pump is really unlucky."
"We in Hetu Manufacturing don't have time to mass-produce this thing, so we really might as well continue to study non-ferrous metal solders."
"There is a market for this product now, and we can continue to make this product bigger and stronger."
"Director, let me tell you, we can completely rely on non-ferrous metal solder to open branch factories in other prefecture-level cities or even other provinces."
"In this way, our scale and efficiency will increase. I think this is the safest thing."
This analysis is reasonable and well-founded. If it were someone else, maybe they would actually believe it.
But Zhao Shanhe will not.
He looked at Yang E's face full of expectation, smiled and said: "Yang E, if I guess correctly, you have been to places in our Eastern Province, so have you ever gone out? No?"
"How dare you say that the market that is saturated in the Eastern Province will definitely be saturated in other provinces too?"
"How can you be so sure that there won't be any emergencies that would cause our new water pump to be urgently needed?"
"And the reasons you just mentioned are not wrong, but they are also biased."
"For example, if the price of our new water pump drops, will it definitely impact the existing water pump market? Yes, there should be no doubt about this, right?"
"yes!"
Yang E admitted that this was correct.
Under the premise of ensuring the price, of course, whoever has good quality will have a market.
But the question is, can the price of new water pumps be reduced? Can it be reduced to the same price as old-fashioned water pumps?
What other emergencies require a large number of water pumps?
Yang E was a little confused.
"Yang E, I will make a sales plan in the next two days. Come and take a look at it then."
"If you still think you should object after reading it, I will seriously consider your suggestion." Zhao Shanhe said calmly.
"Okay, then, director, I'll go and get busy." Hearing what Zhao Shanhe said, Yang E had no choice but to get up and leave.
"Go for it!"
Zhao Shanhe waved his hand, and Yang E walked out of the office thoughtfully.
Although Zhao Shanhe said this, she still had no confidence in her heart and always felt that this matter was unreliable.
So what if your price is low?
If someone has a good water pump and it’s not broken, you can’t just say that your price is low and you’ll spend more money to buy it, right?
"Director Zhao, I want to believe you, but you are reckless this time!"
As for the sales plan, Yang E didn't take it seriously at all.
She felt that this was Zhao Shanhe's deliberate procrastination trick. He would do whatever he could.
…
It's lunch time.
"Director, let's go to the cafeteria to eat together."
Li Xiangyang appeared at the door of the office and greeted with a gentle smile.
"good!"
Zhao Shanhe has always been working in the cafeteria when he has nothing to do.
You must know that the food in the canteens of Hetu Manufacturing and Shanqiu Food is very good and the price is low. None of the workers said they are not willing to eat in the canteens.
"Hello, director!"
"Hello, everyone, let's eat."
After Zhao Shanhe brought over the food, he sat in a corner and ate.
Li Xiangyang sat opposite.
While eating, Li Xiangyang suddenly raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice and said, "Director, I want to tell you something."
"I've noticed something's wrong with you a long time ago. It's already pretty good that I've been able to hold it in until now. If you want to say it, just say it."
"How many times have I told you that you are different from others."
"Based on our relationship, you can tell me directly if you have anything to say. Don't hide it."
"If even you are like this, I will have no one I can trust." Zhao Shanhe said with a smile after taking a bite of sweet and sour pork.
Hearing these words, Li Xiangyang felt a warm current in his heart, and he became more determined to persuade him. He said seriously: "What I want to tell you is..."
