King of Industry

   Chapter 715 Mission Impossible

  In the meeting room of "SMS Construction Machinery Group Company", Zhao Guoyang is presiding over the very important joint strategic development meeting of "SMS Company" and "Xingtai International".

  In the conference room, Zhao Guoyang sat in the middle, and on the left sat several heavyweights from the host "SMS Company"—Li Zhaohe, Zhao Siyan, Zhuang Zhiyuan, the deputy director of the technology department, Tang Wanru and Liu Yan.

   Sitting on the right are Zhang Yufang, Wang Zecheng, Xie Yiman, Zhao Qian and Yuan Qinghua from "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company".

  Tang Wanru, Liu Yan, and Yuan Qinghua have signed contracts with "SMS Company" and "Xingtai International" respectively, and have become regular employees of the two companies.

  Because of the high level of ability of these three people, the companies on both sides saved them three months of internship and directly hired them as reserve cadres.

  The so-called reserve cadres mean that as long as they perform well, they will have a great chance to enter the ranks of middle-level cadres in the next one or two years.

   In addition, in terms of annual salary, Zhao Guoyang has never been stingy with such outstanding talents, and has given generous prices beyond the imagination of the three.

  Of course, this is also because Zhao Guoyang is fully confident that they can bring ten times or even a hundred times the return to the two companies.

  After the meeting started, Zhao Guoyang first told the good news he got from the capital.

He explained quickly: "Everyone, according to the promises I have received from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry and other ministries and commissions, after five days, this 'Trade and Investment Promotion Group', we can bring goods weighing up to 8 tons. The goods within the range are sold in African countries."

"Among them, a 'mine hoist' accounts for almost one-third, and the remaining weight, except for a trial sample of a small excavator, I want to allocate the rest to motorcycle products and fire-fighting equipment. Do you know what everyone thinks?"

  After Zhao Guoyang said these words, the people in "Xingtai International" in the meeting room were all at a loss.

   Zhang Yufang and the others didn’t know that Zhao Guoyang had already decided to work on “small excavators” in “SMS Company”, so of course they couldn’t figure out the situation.

   "Mr. Zhao, where is Xingtai International planning to import this 'small excavator'? We haven't touched on this product yet. I'm worried that if we rush to find a manufacturer, we may be slaughtered by others!"

  After hearing Wang Zecheng's worries, Zhao Guoyang just waved his hands and said: "Hey, Zecheng, you don't have to worry about this matter. I don't plan to import this 'small excavator' from other manufacturers."

   "Since there is a factory specializing in construction machinery like 'SMS Company', why are you worried about it?"

   "Huh? Director Li, is it possible that your 'SMS Company' is planning to develop a 'miniature excavator' again?"

  When Zhang Yufang heard the words, she couldn't help but opened her mouth and asked.

  Li Zhaohe glanced at Zhao Guoyang secretly, scratched his head and said, "Yes, Assistant Zhang. Mr. Zhao mentioned this to me before he went to North America..."

   After Li Zhaohe finished speaking, Zhao Siyan continued to add: "However, our 'SMS Company' research on this 'small excavator' is still in its infancy."

   "In the technical department, Deputy Minister Zhuang has collected model information and parameter data of many similar products in China, but we still have a long way to go before trial production..."

   Speaking of this, Zhao Siyan couldn't help casting a questioning look at Zhao Guoyang.

  When she was waiting for Zhao Guoyang and the others to come over, she once questioned Zhao Guoyang's decision to Li Zhaohe, and asked him why President Zhao proposed such an impossible task for everyone.

   Of course, Li Zhaohe couldn't answer her question, so he could only push it to this meeting.

   Now that Zhao Guoyang has brought it up on his own initiative, Zhao Siyan must of course speak out her concerns.

  After hearing Zhao Siyan's statement, Zhang Yufang also showed surprise on her face.

  When Zhao Guoyang said those words just now, she thought it was Mr. Zhao who had arranged it long ago, but who knew it was not the case at all.

   "SMS Company" has only just begun to collect data, and Zhao Guoyang put forward such a big slogan, which makes Zhang Yufang really hard to understand.

  In contrast, Wang Zecheng did not raise any doubts after listening to everyone's respective statements.

  He now has 100% trust in Zhao Guoyang, and he believes that he, the boss, can definitely solve all technical problems.

Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhao Guoyang explained calmly: "It's no wonder that everyone can't believe it. In fact, within five days, a small excavator will It is still very difficult to design the machine and successfully manufacture it..."

  After hearing this, Zhao Siyan couldn't help curling her lips, thinking: "Mr. Zhao, this is not only difficult, it is simply difficult to reach the blue sky, okay?"

   After working in "SMS Company" for several months, Zhao Siyan is now considered a senior product development supervisor.

  In Zhao Siyan's view, even if the "mine hoist" is extended by one or two models, it will take at least one month to forty days.

   Not to mention Mr. Zhao, this is simply restarting the stove and making another product.

  If a small excavator can be produced so quickly, how can those large "construction machinery factories" gradually fail to operate and close down one after another?

   Zhao Siyan's question is of course justified.

  In fact, including Liu Yan and Tang Wanru, all members of the new product development department and technology department were shocked like a bolt from the blue after learning the news.

   Now apart from a few of their participants, the rest of the members are also discussing this matter in the office.

   Zhao Siyan's micro-expressions, of course, cannot escape Zhao Guoyang's eyes.

  He smiled slightly, and continued to explain: "The matter of the small excavator, because it takes a long time to tell, let's put it to the last discussion."

   "Next, let's talk about the stocking of other products..."

  After Zhao Guoyang said this, everyone nodded.

  Obviously, most people in the conference room still don't dare to believe the "mini excavator".

  Zhao Guoyang touched his nose indifferently, and said: "Let's talk about the stocking of motorcycles, fire-fighting equipment, and agricultural and forestry machinery products first!"

   "Fire-fighting equipment and agricultural and forestry machinery products, I have just talked with the 'Hongda Machinery Factory' on the phone. It is no problem to prepare five sets of each product!"

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang's expression became relaxed.

  Because the "mine hoist" has been selling well for a while, Zhang Yufang still has at least three or five machines in the company's inventory.

  Even if the warehouse on the "SMS Company" side is sold out, Zhang Yufang can still transfer one from her own "Xingtai International" and provide it to Zhao Guoyang's trade and investment promotion delegation to Africa.

  As for motorcycles, the inventory of "Xingtai International" is not a problem.

  Not to mention the underbone car series and prince car series of "Siyang Group", even in "Hongda Machinery Factory", there are many of those two models, and there is no need to worry about no products being shipped out.

  In this way, the only products that Zhang Yufang is worried about are firefighting equipment and agricultural and forestry machinery products.

  Because of the limited profit of these two products and the fact that the manufacturing level of "Hongda Machinery Factory" does not have much advantage and other reasons, "Xingtai International" has not been promoting these products much.

  In a few months, a total of about ten sets were sent to the Samba country.

  But this time, Zhao Guoyang went to the largest firefighting equipment market in the world during his trip to Africa.

  Fires occur frequently on the African grasslands, and the demand for fire-fighting equipment is an astonishing number.

  Moreover, the African brothers have limited manufacturing level, and the requirements for products are not so high. As long as it is cheap and durable, it is "OK".

  Under such a premise, the fire-fighting equipment produced by "Hongda Machinery Factory" is undoubtedly the best and optimal choice for African brothers.

  As for agricultural and forestry machinery, although the demand in Africa is not as large as that of fire-fighting equipment, it is not a small number if calculated from dozens of countries in Africa.

  Once Mr. Zhao can bring these two products to Africa, Zhang Yufang believes that with his marketing ability, he can definitely open up the market for these two products.

  Based on this idea, Zhang Yufang certainly hopes that there will be no mistakes in the preparation of fire-fighting equipment and agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment.

  At this time, after hearing Zhao Guoyang say that the matter has been settled, Zhang Yufang let go of her hanging heart.

  In the conference room, Zhao Guoyang's speech continued.

After notifying everyone about the progress of the "stocking up" of motorcycles, firefighting equipment, and agricultural and forestry machinery, he cleared his throat and said, "Mine hoists will be the focus of my recommendations for this 'Trip to Africa'. "

"Everyone should also know that Africa is very rich in mineral resources. Once our mine hoist has opened up the market in the African continent, we don't even need to consider the follow-up sales. Naturally, there will be local African power figures. Hurry to do it."

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Li Zhaohe, Zhao Siyan and other people from the "SMS company" all nodded in agreement.

   For "Xingtai International", although Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman don't know much about the African market, the truth in what Zhao Guoyang said is absolutely correct.

  After listening to Mr. Zhao's judgment, they all expressed their approval.

  Zhao Guoyang looked around the audience for a week, then slowed down and said: "Since everyone has reached a consensus on this point, the work to be done next is very clear."

   "The next five days will be our last sprint opportunity to promote this 'mine hoist' series of products."

   "During these five days, everyone must do everything possible to advertise and promote this device. Try to make it famous before I go to Africa!"

   "In this way, the promotion of this device during the 'Trip to Africa' will be more effective."
