Chapter 266: Snow
After Song Yuanchao explained these issues in detail, Lin Yuhang suddenly understood.
He had to admit that Song Yuanchao had considered the issue thoroughly, and if he thought about it carefully, the possibility Song Yuanchao raised was very likely to happen, so necessary preventive measures still had to be taken. He couldn't just work hard to make things easier for others, right?
In this regard, Section Chief Lu shamefully criticized himself, saying that he had not considered this carefully, and that it was only thanks to Teacher Song's reminder that he had not made a mistake. In response, Lin Yuhang smiled and comforted him, saying that he had not considered this either, and that it was Song Yuanchao's reminder that made him think that it was right to ask Song Yuanchao for help.
Since they had already decided to use the factory in Tianjin for production, the three of them discussed again about using the two factories in Tianjin, and finally decided on the cooperative factory.
Next, Chief Lu immediately called the Tianjin factory to inform them of the results and prepared to formally sign the contract and place the order.
Time waits for no one. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and today is the last working day in Tianjin, so these things need to be determined in advance. As soon as the fourth day of the New Year is over and Tianjin starts working, Chief Lu will rush to Tianjin with the formal contract and bill of exchange, and then he will stay in Tianjin for a while, waiting for the other party's samples to be produced before determining the next step of production and delivery.
After the task was assigned, Section Chief Lu did not dare to delay and left the factory director's office, rushing back to his supply and marketing department to contact the other party.
After Section Chief Lu left, Lin Yuhang relaxed and expressed his gratitude to Song Yuanchao with a smile.
"Brother, we shouldn't say these things among ourselves." Song Yuanchao waved his hand: "This matter has just begun. The next month is very important. In addition, you have to keep an eye on the arrival of products and subsequent sales. But don't worry, although the initial investment is not small, once it is running, sales will not be a problem. If things go wrong, the products in your warehouse may not be enough to sell, so you still have to think about the problem of keeping up with the sales by then."
"Haha, if that's the case, I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing in my sleep." Lin Yuhang handed a cigarette to Song Yuanchao and said with a smile: "My requirements are not high. I don't expect the supply to exceed the demand. I can only sell the current inventory smoothly and make the factory better, then I'll be satisfied."
"Second brother, I have to criticize you for saying this." Song Yuanchao suddenly said this in a serious tone.
Lin Yuhang was stunned and looked at Song Yuanchao with some confusion.
"You have been a soldier and fought in wars. Isn't there a saying? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! Although you have taken off your military uniform now, the mall is also a battlefield. Compared with the battlefield filled with smoke and danger, the mall does not have gunfire and rain of bullets, but there are also countless risks and crises. As the director of the Eighth Factory, you are the commander of this army. As a commander, shouldn't you lead the Eighth Factory to fight this battle well? Win this victory, and then continue to lead the Eighth Factory from the first victory to the next victory, and finally realize your ambitions? How can you say such a negative thing?"
Lin Yuhang was silent for a while, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he nodded heavily and stood up: "Yuan Chao, you taught me a lesson, you are right! I really shouldn't think that way. The business world is like the battlefield. You can't have any fluke mentality. You have to go all out in every battle to achieve real victory. I'm sorry, my thinking just now was too narrow-minded. I apologize to you!"
After saying that, Lin Yuhang saluted Song Yuanchao solemnly. His attitude made Song Yuanchao feel a little embarrassed. He said those words just now just to remind Lin Yuhang, but he didn't expect that it would bring such a big impact to Lin Yuhang.
"Brother, I was a little harsh just now, please don't mind..."
"No, no, you're right. You reminded me. This is a good reminder!" Lin Yuhang said with emotion: "This battle must be fought well, and it must be fought beautifully!"
As he said this, Lin Yuhang clenched his fists and reaffirmed his belief in his heart.
Looking at his expression and reaction, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but sigh and admire Lin Yuhang.
"By the way, is it true what you just said that there might be a shortage of supply?" Lin Yuhang suddenly asked.
"It is possible. If sales pick up, the current inventory will not be enough. So the production plan after the New Year must be adjusted as soon as possible. We must prepare in advance so as not to be caught off guard." Song Yuanchao nodded and said.
"Okay, I'll think about this in the next few days and arrange it after the New Year."
"And second brother, there is something I want to remind you of."
"What's up?"
"If I'm right, the product will be hot-selling for a while, but it won't last long. Once other manufacturers react and follow suit, the advantages Factory 8 has temporarily lost."
Song Yuanchao said to Lin Yuhang seriously, and Lin Yuhang nodded. He knew this clearly because the issue of product procurement had been mentioned just now.
"We have the upper hand. In the short term, the sales of the products of the Eighth Factory will not be a big problem. Therefore, we must quickly occupy the market, promote products, and recover more payments during this period. After two or three months, the market situation may change. After all, the Eighth Factory has a weak foundation and may not be able to compete with similar products. So we have to find another way to deal with it in the future."
Lin Yuhang frowned and asked, "Then Yuan Chao, do you have any other ideas?"
"This... I haven't thought about it yet, but no matter what method is used, the final result must be based on products. Only by laying a solid foundation can we gain an invincible position." Song Yuanchao said this, and then reminded: "We have discussed the technical problems of the factory before, and the development of new products is imminent. There is no future for the old three-item and eight-factory, so we must rely on new products to make a complete change."
Lin Yuhang nodded silently. He admitted that Song Yuanchao was right. Technology and products were the most important. The current means were merely commercial means and could not be a decisive factor.
Lin Yuhang also had a plan in mind for this problem. If he wanted to completely change Factory 8, these tasks must be done.
That day, Song Yuanchao chatted with Lin Yuhang in his office for a long time, and they did not leave Factory 8 until dark.
Originally, Lin Yuhang wanted to invite Song Yuanchao to dinner, but seeing that he looked tired, Song Yuanchao smiled and refused.
It’s getting late. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After so many tiring days, I have finally finalized the follow-up work. I will go back early to rest today. It won’t be too late to talk about it after I happily celebrate this Spring Festival.
What's more, Song Yuanchao will go to the Lin family tomorrow, and they will meet then. Why should his family be so polite?
Just like that, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yuhang parted ways at the intersection and went home separately.
After eating a bowl of noodles at a small shop outside the alley, Song Yuanchao returned to his own courtyard.
When he got home, he was exhausted, so he washed his face and went to bed early . He slept well all night. The next morning, he was woken up by the intermittent sound of firecrackers outside.
He opened the window and saw that it had snowed last night. The thick snow had dyed the entire Yanjing City white. The same was true for his courtyard, which was covered in white.
Taking a breath of the cold air and looking at the snow scene in front of him, Song Yuanchao, who was spending the New Year in Yanjing for the first time, felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart, but also had more emotions.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Compared with his previous life, Song Yuanchao is now on a completely different path.
At this time in his previous life, he was still working as a temporary worker in an engineering team under the telephone bureau, but now he is already a student at Imperial University of Peking, and has a career that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Xiangjiang Shenghua Company developed extremely rapidly. Qin Zhengguo made great efforts in both Hong Kong and Pengcheng. In just one year, the small Shenghua Company became a large company with a slight reputation in Hong Kong. Now Xiangjiang Shenghua owns an entire floor of office building, and the company's staff has increased from the initial four people to more than thirty people.
Compared with the headquarters in Hong Kong, Pengcheng is changing with each passing day. After acquiring the land in Pengcheng and obtaining a bank loan, Shenghua Company's project in Pengcheng officially began. Although the entire planning process will take several years, it will not hinder Shenghua Company's establishment and preparation of its own factory in Pengcheng.
According to the feedback from Pengcheng, the factory building of Shenghua Company (Pengcheng) Co., Ltd. is already under construction. The first phase of the entire factory covers an area of 10 acres, which is only a small part compared to the full 300 acres. However, the establishment of the first factory has given the local government confidence. At the same time, the equipment of Xiangjiang Garment Company acquired by Shenghua Company's Xiangjiang headquarters has also begun to be shipped to Pengcheng. If there are no accidents, the factory building will be completed around March, and the next step after the equipment is in place is to recruit workers for production.
Once the Pengcheng factory starts production, it will be larger in scale and have stronger production capacity than the Tengfei Garment Factory in Shanghai.
In addition to Pengcheng's geographical advantages, the raw materials and sales channels are not comparable to those of Tengfei Garment Factory. To put it bluntly, after the Pengcheng factory is put into production, it will be the top priority of Shenghua Company in the next few years. This factory will bring Shenghua Company a steady stream of high profits, thus becoming a treasure pot for the development of the entire Shenghua Company.
In addition to the factory in Pengcheng, the remaining factories in the park will also start construction in a few months. At present, many small and medium-sized Hong Kong companies are interested in moving into the park and renting Shenghua Company's factory buildings.
This means that the Pengcheng project has entered a good cycle, which is an excellent start for Shenghua Company.
Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia are already married, and as they had agreed, they held the ceremony on New Year's Day.
They had originally planned to attend their wedding, but because Hong Kong, Pengcheng, Shanghai, and Beijing were far apart, and they couldn't leave at the end of the year, Song Yuanchao, Lin Yan, and Li Daqi could only congratulate them over the phone and send their sincere blessings.
The gift was handed over to the newlyweds by Gu Jie as early as December last year. Their wedding was held in Guangzhou. It was simple and warm. In addition to Gu Jie, Ou Aimin, Xu Hui who came from Hong Kong and others who attended the wedding, there were also some good friends who had good relationships in the business world.
After marriage, Qin Zhengguo and his wife did not return to Hong Kong due to the project problems in Pengcheng, but temporarily settled in Pengcheng. Although Pengcheng is not as good as Guangzhou now, not to mention the prosperous Hong Kong, they think that wherever they are is their home, and they are also happy with their busy work.
