Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

At this moment, Director Yang stood aside and began his speech: "As the leader of this super sports car manufacturer, I feel deeply honored to introduce to you the excellent performance of this sports car in detail."

However, just as he was about to elaborate, the burly Russian next to him interrupted eagerly: "Mr. Director, please allow me to ask directly, how much does this car cost?"

Director Yang turned to look at Yang Ming beside him, who nodded slightly and raised a finger.

"One million?" the burly man guessed, his tone full of curiosity. "Is it one million dollars?"

"At this price, this super sports car that combines cutting-edge technology and extreme speed is absolutely worth the money!" Andre praised without hiding his feelings.

When Director Yang heard the price, he was surprised. He originally thought that the price of this sports car was only a few hundred thousand RMB, but he didn't expect these Russians to be so generous.

One million dollars seemed like a drop in the bucket for them. This made Director Yang feel happy, and at the same time he was amazed at the purchasing power of these foreigners.

Against the backdrop of the current tensions between China and the Soviet Union and the enormous economic pressure on the country, this huge amount of income is undoubtedly a timely help to the country.

After the test drive, Director Bi and others quickly returned to the steel mill to discuss the market potential of this super sports car.

force.

"Yang Ming," Director Bi asked, "with our current production capacity, how many of these cars can we produce in a year?"

"If the production line is fully operational, initial estimates show that annual output could reach around 3,000 units," Yang Ming replied.

"Three thousand units?" This number disappointed Director Yang, Director Bi and others. They felt that the output seemed a little insufficient. But then they realized that even such an output was enough to bring considerable economic benefits to the country.

益。

Regarding the issue of increasing production or adding production lines, I fully understand your concerns. Yang Ming responded to the doubts of Director Bi and Director Yang with a peaceful smile.

He was well aware of their concerns and elaborated further: We naturally desire to earn more foreign exchange by increasing production, but we must recognize that scarcity often brings higher value.

Although this luxury sports car has a price tag of one million US dollars, if we expand production without restraint, its price will inevitably drop significantly once the output reaches the level of 10,000 vehicles.

Yang Ming looked around and continued: "We cannot lose the big picture for the sake of small gains and damage our long-term interests. Therefore, I suggest that we announce to the public that due to the fineness and complexity of the manufacturing process, the annual production of this super sports car will be strictly controlled within 1,500 units."

Director Yang was a little puzzled: So, doesn't this limit our income?

Yang Ming waved his hand: "Not really. The 1,500 we mentioned only refers to the quota for the Soviet market. For the remaining vehicles, we can consider expanding to markets in other countries and regions."

He further analyzed: The automobile market is divided into high, medium and low-end markets. The low-end market is indeed a winner in terms of volume, but it is not suitable for us at present. We should focus on the high-end and mid-end markets and position ourselves accurately.

This super sports car is our weapon for entering the high-end market and it will greatly enhance our brand value and influence.

We can then introduce less powerful but more comfortable and affordable models to cater to the mid-range market.

Speed ​​is not the only criterion that everyone pursues. Many wealthy car buyers also pay attention to the luxury of the interior and the comfort of riding. Therefore, mid-range models will be our main sales point in the future.

Yang Ming finally added: In addition, our market vision should not be limited to the Soviet Union. There is another market with great potential…

He paused for a moment to give Director Bi, Director Yang and others present some time to digest the information.

The secretary next to him was also concentrating on recording these strategic decisions in preparation for future research and reporting to higher authorities.

After careful consideration, everyone present finally began to understand the profound meaning behind Yang Ming's words.

Afterwards, someone couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yang Ming, where exactly is the other world you mentioned?"

Yang Ming replied calmly: "I mean Hong Kong. Although many countries have not yet established formal diplomatic relations with us, it is not impossible to use Hong Kong as a channel to promote our products to the international stage. The essence of capital is the pursuit of profit. As Das Kapital said, when the profit is lucrative enough, people will pursue it at all costs."

Although this passage was not a direct quote, the philosophy it contained coincided with the essence of Capital, forcing everyone present to acknowledge its profundity.

Although they were somewhat hesitant about Yang Ming's views, thinking that they revealed the essence of business too bluntly, they could not deny the logic behind them.

Since ancient times, businessmen have always been pursuing profits.

After a brief silence, Director Bi raised another key issue: "Selling supercars through Hong Kong is indeed a good idea, but the problem is that we need a reliable partner."

Yang Ming smiled slightly and responded: "What do you think of this businessman Lou Bancheng?" Upon hearing this name, Director Bi and others frowned slightly.

They had a certain favorable impression of Lou Bancheng because he actively cooperated during the national reform and took the initiative to donate the steel rolling mill.

But in the face of such huge benefits, they can't help but feel a little worried.

"Can we completely trust Lou Bancheng?" Director Bi turned to Director Yang, hoping to get his opinion.

After a brief thought, Director Yang decided to defend Lou Bancheng: "I think we can give him a chance. Since liberation, he has not chosen to leave, but stayed here and actively cooperated with the country's policies.

He has a good reputation among the workers and has never been unkind. We can give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we can send someone to assist him."

Hearing this suggestion, Director Bi's frown finally relaxed. After all, earning foreign exchange is vital to the country, and he cannot miss such an opportunity because of personal doubts.

Finally, Yang Ming took the initiative to take on the task of communicating with Lou Bancheng: "Then, I will be responsible for communicating with Lou Bancheng myself."

Before this, Yang Ming already had a plan in mind. He wanted to treat Lou Bancheng as a trusted partner and send him to Hong Kong to open up a new business territory.

It can be said that the value of a patriotic businessman who has a sense of national sentiment and can bring huge foreign exchange to the country is far beyond the reach of those capitalists who only seek wealth and lack social responsibility.
