When will I have a long tassel?

Chapter 198 Of course I’m interested

Zhao Zhaoxin was somewhat doubtful of Tang Zifeng's words, so when he took the drawings, he was a little careless. He took a look at the drawing and frowned. Then he looked at it carefully, and the expression on his face gradually changed.

"This is a lathe, this is a milling machine,... Hey, they actually use the same set of brackets. How is this done? Let me see, it turns out to be like this. This is amazing!"

Zhao Zhaoxin commented to himself, and couldn't help but screamed.

"Director Zhao, what kind of product is this?" He Wenjing was attracted by Zhao Zhaoxin's performance and couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Zhaoxin had no intention of handing her the drawings. Instead, he pointed to the door and said, "Xiao He, go quickly and invite General Engineer Xia and Factory Director Xu to come over immediately."

He Wenjing ran out in a hurry and came back with Xia Min and Xu Shi in a short time. Zhao Zhaoxin waved to the two of them, called them to his desk, and then gave them the drawings for them to watch.

"Isn't this a machine tool? What the hell is this box?"

"What, this machine tool is packed in a box? How big does the box have to be?"

"Hey, I can tell something. This should be a small machine tool for home use, right?"

"It turns out to be a multi-purpose machine, wonderful, wonderful!"

Xia Min and Xu Shi became more and more surprised as they watched, and their voices became louder and louder. He Wenjing stood next to them, standing on tiptoes to look at the drawings in their hands. He didn't see the clue for a long time, and just giggled along, pretending to have everything under control.

"This machine tool was designed by Linyi Machinery?" Xia Min finally thought of the source of the drawings. He turned his head to Tang Zifeng and asked suspiciously.

Tang Zifeng shook his head and said: "This is the result of our newly established Canglong Research Institute. The earliest idea was proposed by a doctoral student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University. The entire design has applied for a utility model patent, and the patent ownership is also Those belonging to this classmate will be authorized by Canglong Research Institute to various production companies."

"Patent?" Xia Min frowned, "You mean, you want to monopolize the market for this thing again?"

There is a reason why he uses the word "and". Last year, Linyiji developed a wood carving machine tool, and Qingji also had the idea of ​​imitating it. Compared with those township and village enterprises, Qingji has much fewer obstacles if it wants to imitate wood carving machine tools, because many of the technologies involved in machine tools are not difficult for large enterprises like Qingji.

However, Qingji failed to enter this market in the end because Tang Zifeng had people apply for patents for several key technologies in advance. If Qingji wants to circumvent these patents, it will take a lot of effort, and the cost of the product will also increase significantly, thus losing competitiveness.

At that time, Qingji realized the power of Linyiji's patent barrier. This time when he heard that the design proposed by Tang Zifeng had applied for a patent in advance, Xia Min felt very angry.

"This kind of machine tool has no practical value, right?" Xu Shi said hesitantly after reading the drawings.

Zhao Zhaoxin glanced at him and asked: "Old Xu, you are also a machine tool operator, right? I would like to ask, if someone gave you a set of machine tools like this, would you like it?"

"Give it to me?" Xu Shi was stunned, and then said with a smile: "If someone gives it to you, of course I want it. This thing doesn't take up much space at home, so it's good to make it as a small thing."

Zhao Zhaoxin and Xu Shi both knew how to operate machine tools. Zhao Zhaoxin had attended a technical school, while Xu Shi was purely a worker. He first worked as a substitute, and then was promoted step by step to the position of deputy factory director. This kind of small machine tool has an irresistible attraction for people who are accustomed to playing with machine tools. Just like soldiers like to play with guns, veteran drivers like to drive, businessmen like to play tricks, and writers like to play tricks. This has nothing to do with making money. It doesn't have much to do with making a living, it's mainly about personal interests and hobbies.

After Zhao Zhaoxin realized the beauty of this machine tool, he put himself into the consumer's perspective. He realized that many people would be willing to buy such a machine tool if price was not a factor. He has seen those small household machine tools manufactured by domestic companies for foreign countries. From a functional point of view, they are naturally much better than this kind of tool box machine tool, but from the perspective of appreciation and emotion, he prefers this kind of mini machine tool. .

Think about it, it looks like a tool box when worn on a daily basis, and it won’t be eye-catching anywhere. But after being disassembled, it can be turned into a lathe and a milling machine. One machine can be used for multiple purposes. What kind of artifact is this. He could imagine that what many consumers value is not even the practical value of machine tools, but the feeling of assembly and deformation. This is simply a building block for adults, which can fascinate all the giant babies in their thirties and forties. of……

"Such a machine tool, isn't it cheap?" Xia Min asked from the side.

"It's not expensive. The I type that can only process wood is priced at 800, the II type that can process wood and aluminum is priced at 1,500, and the type III we are developing that can process ordinary steel is priced at 3,000. It is definitely a conscience price." Tang Zifeng laughed. replied.

"Only 800 yuan? The cost is not enough, right?" Xia Min said in shock.

"He's talking about U.S. dollars!" Zhao Zhaoxin said bitterly. He had already been bluffed by Tang Zifeng just now. Now that he saw Tang Zifeng using this trick again, he couldn't help but expose it.

"800 US dollars, that's 7,000 RMB. It's too expensive!" A thing like this?"

Xu Shi came back to his senses. He looked at Tang Zifeng and asked, "Director Tang, you didn't mean to say that this thing is going to be exported, right?"

Tang Zifeng said: "Director Xu Yingming, think about it, other than export, what other market can such things have?"

"If it is exported..." Xu Shi pondered silently, wondering what the foreign market would be like.

Liu Yanping interjected from the side: "I have seen the actual product made by Xiao Tang and others. It is indeed very beautiful. It is good as a gift. For foreigners, one or two thousand dollars is nothing. Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year for us Chinese, so it’s normal to buy one as a gift.”

"Indeed, for foreigners, one or two thousand US dollars is not much, and this kind of machine tool is quite practical and can be used as a home machining center." Xia Min commented.

The leaders of this dry factory have all gone abroad. Qingji has also cooperated with foreign companies before. They have all dealt with experts, engineers and technical workers from abroad, and they know that "foreigners" are all very rich. Yes, you can make thousands of dollars a month. Think about yourself, if you spend a month's salary to buy such a machine tool, maybe you will just bite the bullet and buy it. So the question becomes, how many foreigners will buy it?

"Our estimate is relatively conservative. From now to before Christmas, we estimate that we can sell about 20,000 units in the U.S. market. Calculated based on half of the Type I and Type II units, the sales volume is approximately US$23 million, which is equivalent to nearly 200 million yuan. If we assign it to five companies, one of them can earn 40 million yuan," Tang Zifeng said.

"20,000 units is indeed more than our two companies can afford. It is more appropriate to bring four or five companies together to do it." Zhao Zhaoxin said afterward.

Now he began to understand why he didn't eat alone when he had an opportunity. The so-called "Hello everyone" was actually just a nice word. It takes 2 months to produce 20,000 such small machine tools. Linyi Machine does not have such production capacity. Rather than looking at a market opportunity and being unable to eat it, it is better to share it with everyone, which can also build a good reputation and pave the way for future joint meetings.

Although he understood this, Zhao Zhaoxin did not think that the opportunity Tang Zifeng gave them was an empty favor. It's amazing that people can think of designing such a machine tool. It's just like when Lin Yiji developed a wood carving machine tool. It's not technically difficult. What's difficult is the creativity.

Now Linyiji comes up with ideas and lets everyone go to foreign markets to make money together. Qingji has to remember Linyiji’s favor. When holding joint meetings in the future, if Linyiji puts forward any proposals, Qingji will easily It is inconvenient to reject it. Of course, the premise is that this proposal does no obvious harm to Qingji.

"Director Tang, are you sure that such machine tools can be sold in foreign markets?" Xu Shi asked Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng spread his hands: "I just told Director Zhao that no one can guarantee the market. However, we are currently exploring the US market, and we should hear back soon. I just want to ask now , is Qingji interested in making this product?"

"Of course we are interested!" Zhao Zhaoxin replied decisively, "Not to mention the output value of more than 40 million, even if it is 10 million, it is still worth two months for us to do it. By the way, Director Tang, if we are interested in production , what are the specific ways of cooperation?”

Tang Zifeng said: "It's very simple. Our machine tool is going to be sold under a unified brand. The brand is called 'Canglong brand'. No matter which company manufactures it, it will use this name. The sales of the machine tool are temporarily handled by Canglong Research Institute. We purchase from various companies at 70% of the retail price. Of the remaining 30%, 20% is the gross profit for the retailers, and the other 10% is the research institute’s sales cost and profit retention. We base our efforts on the wishes and production capabilities of each company To allocate orders. We also said something ugly up front. Each company must promise to ensure quality. If the quality is not up to standard, we will not accept it."

"In other words, we are only responsible for production, and you don't have to worry about sales." Xu Shi asked.

"exactly."

"If that's the case..." Xu Shi turned to look at Zhao Zhaoxin, the meaning in his eyes was obvious. He is the deputy director in charge of production in the factory. No one understands better than him that the factory is currently under-operated. If there is such an order, life will be very easy in the next two months.

"We are willing to join, and the conditions will be as factory director Tang said." Zhao Zhaoxin made the final decision.
