Of course, that’s not to say it’s wrong, it’s definitely right. Since you can make more money by producing and selling it yourself, then just produce more and sell it yourself!
With the patent in hand, if anyone wants to produce without authorization, then sue and you can get some money back!
This two-pronged approach can always make more money. It may not be the optimal solution, but it is definitely not wrong.
The problem is that if that’s all, it’s a waste of time to think about it, there’s no need to think about it at all!
Fortunately, Jiang Chen didn't need anyone to help him come up with ideas, because he actually had the general idea and direction.
All he needs to think about is to refine it and make the whole idea more reasonable and easier to implement.
Time soon came to the next day.
That Saturday, Jiang Chen took Tang Xiao and Zhang Hai's family back to the countryside.
The main purpose is to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Secondly, take a look at the growth of mustard greens, and pick up some eggs, sugar cane, oranges, and seasonal green vegetables.
I returned on Sunday and made an appointment with Xu Yue. We went to the park together. The two girls were learning English while he was playing instruments.
Work on Monday.
As soon as I arrived at the factory, I received a call from the city, so I took Xu Yue and Tan Bing for a trip.
Very simple.
The first issue is production capacity.
City: What scale do you plan to achieve? How much do you plan to produce in a year?
Jiang Chen: Three hundred thousand units, on average, more than 10,000 units a day, which is quite a lot.
City: No, no, it’s too little. Three hundred thousand units won’t be enough. We are number one in the country. We will still have hundreds of thousands of refrigerators a year. This is much simpler than refrigerators. Let’s add more!
The second question is the production location.
City: Have you decided where to produce it?
Jiang Chen: I’ve thought about it, let’s just go to the refrigerator factory and pack up a few empty factory buildings.
City: Isn’t that enough? Why don’t you find more space? There are plenty of vacant factories anyway, and it doesn’t cost money. Just hire more people and solve the employment problem.
That's pretty much it.
Very caring, even more caring than Jiang Chen himself.
Some ideas were also proposed, such as investing in factory fixed assets, forming a joint venture, and operating the company together, but Jiang Chen rejected them.
This is the benefit of identity.
If something is produced by a local company, or simply by a state-owned enterprise, then it is really hard to refuse such a thing.
But his current status is that of a foreign investor.
He can leave at will and change places at will.
Naturally, I have nothing to fear, and the city won't make things too difficult for me.
After these are finalized, in the afternoon, the city will assist, endorse the platform, and hold a dealer meeting.
It was very grand.
The leaders attended and delivered speeches, and TV stations and newspapers reported the entire event.
The next morning, the order was signed on site.
Very lively.
The number is less than 10,000 or 20,000, and the number is 1 or 200,000.
Because there was really a shortage of people, the city simply pulled a group of people from the office to help sign orders one-on-one.
On-time delivery is also guaranteed.
After all, the total orders from dealers across the country amounted to more than three million units.
According to the agreement, the ex-factory price is 60 per unit, and 50% is paid in advance. In this way, the advance payment alone can receive nearly 100 million.
Total orders exceeded 200 million!
The city is very happy.
Although the money has nothing to do with the city, the results are real!
Moreover, such a large order will definitely require a large number of people to complete it, and it will also require many units to provide support. The benefits of this cannot be explained in a few words!
For this reason, TV stations and newspapers have also been working hard to report and promote the event.
By the way, it was featured in many other newspapers, periodicals and TV stations, and it also set off a nationwide trend of rejuvenating agriculture through science and technology.
Tan Bing had a headache.
Zhang Hai is similar.
More than three million units!
The point is not the more than three million units, but that these more than three million units must be delivered before the end of March next year according to the contract.
And now it’s mid-December…
This means that even if we start work now, we will have to make nearly one million units per month on average.
Jiang Chen didn't feel any pressure at all. He smiled when he came back and said, "Okay, it's not that serious. Remember, we are just doing assembly. Whether this order can be completed on time or not, ultimately, it's not up to us, it's up to the supporting manufacturers."
After that, he said to Tan Bing: "Brother Bing, please make a formal supporting plan. Sister Yue, you are responsible for calling and contacting according to the plan. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we will hold a supporting meeting to implement all tasks."
It's that simple.
The order of more than three million units is indeed a bit much and beyond imagination, but in the final analysis it is not a one-family affair.
No one can accomplish this task alone.
This is a task that all supporting manufacturers should shoulder together. If we eat the cake together, we must also shoulder the task together.
After finishing the work, Jiang Chen called the city again. At nine o'clock the next morning, in the factory conference room, city leaders and leaders of major supporting factories gathered together.
After a simple opening remarks, Tan Bing, as the chief designer, presented the supporting plan.
Very detailed.
Taking the diaphragm pump as an example, not only the parameters and materials are clearly required, but the price is also clearly stated.
But it's okay, because there is room for profit. In the final analysis, there is profit, and it is not a lot.
Let's just talk about the diaphragm pump. It's such a small gadget. It doesn't require much material, and it's not too difficult. If you add some fixing screws and frame clamps, it costs six yuan.
Isn't it worth earning two or three yuan with tears in your eyes?
Two or three yuan each, three million yuan, seven or eight million yuan, this is profit, who has this profit?
Who still has profits?
And this is not just profit, in addition to profit, there is also output value.
The output value of nearly 20 million represents job opportunities and jobs, representing hundreds of workers and families who will benefit from it.
This is such a good deal.
So everyone soon divided the cake. Nanhu Machinery Factory made diaphragm pumps and fasteners, the radio factory was responsible for the power switch voltmeter of the speed regulator charging system, the textile factory asked for the straps, and the one who took the spray boom was an unknown company.
The machine shop finally leaves the casing, nozzle, and other plastic parts to make by itself.
At this point, the cake is divided and everyone is happy.
As for whether it can be completed on time, that is the manufacturer's business. Since they say there is no problem, then naturally there should be a solution.
Of course, it is not finished yet, because there is still a very important item missing, the battery.
There is no supporting equipment for this thing in the city, and it is too late to build a factory, so we can only go out to purchase it.
The first choice was Camel, as it was close and shared the same identity, so Jiang Chen even made a special trip for this purpose.
Very cool.
Camel is headquartered in Gucheng County, Xiangyang. Although it cannot complete such a large order due to the scale of the company, it is fun!
Wudang Mountain has a unique charm in autumn and winter. When I left, the manufacturer even gave me a beautiful Han sword as a gift.
Just because the problem of battery supply could not be completely solved, I returned from Gucheng County and made another trip to Suzhou.
Gusu at Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City.
Not only is there Hanshan Temple, but there is also a sail battery.
