Liu Dong is just an outsider, and he definitely doesn't have much interest in knowing about the problems in their factory. Not to mention Liu Dong, even Chen San, the contact person, has no interest in knowing about these things. If he hadn't been in the factory back then, Announcer, Chen San may not choose their factory.
But just by seeing the color of these clothes, Liu Dong could immediately understand why these clothes could not be sold in the first place, and he also revealed the psychology of the people. Based on this alone, Secretary Ao knew that Liu Dong was definitely not in vain.
Just think about it and you will know how correct Liu Dong is. You must know that when their factory produced down jackets, they could be regarded as the pioneers in the country. Although they cannot be said to be the first, they can definitely be regarded as the predecessors.
¡°But for seniors like them, no one wants the down jackets they produce. The factory that was originally prosperous is now half-dead because of problems with these down jackets. Down jackets from other factories are selling well, but down jackets from their factory cannot be sold.
They later learned that it was a color problem, but they couldn¡¯t explain what was wrong with the color. But Liu Dong's simple words made Secretary Ao understand what the problem was with this color. It was just that everyone was tired of wearing military green. If it were ordinary clothes, everyone could wear it even if they lived. But people don¡¯t have the habit of compromising on high-end products like down jackets which are not cheap.
Maybe everyone can make do with it at first, after all, this down jacket is definitely higher quality than a cotton coat. But the problem is that the people who bought this down jacket in the first place may show off in front of others. You wear a cotton coat and I wear a down jacket. We are not on the same level.
But the result of showing off like this is that when others look at his military green down jacket, they can immediately respond, high-end down jacket? Isn¡¯t it the same thing as our cotton coats? It¡¯s military green. What¡¯s the big deal?
This is equivalent to the Passat and Volkswagen Phaeton produced by Volkswagen in later generations. The Passat is a mid-to-low-end model. Although people who buy this car will not be unable to make a living, they cannot be said to be rich. Middle-class families will be able to buy this car.
But the Volkswagen Phaeton is a top-notch luxury car, and others directly compete with luxury cars such as the BMW 7 Series li, Mercedes-Benz S Series, and Audi R8. However, since the Phaeton and Passat are very similar in appearance, it should be said that the Phaeton is more low-key than luxury cars from other companies.
But in the eyes of those who don¡¯t know how to do it, the Phaeton is the same as the Passat. If you buy a Volkswagen Phaeton, others will think you are a Passat. The number of jokes caused by this is definitely not a small one.
The essential problem between the Passat and Phaeton of later generations and the current military green down jackets is that they are based on the same model. If you want to show off your own down jacket, you still have to change the color. Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between an army green down jacket and an army green cotton coat?
In the early 1980s, down jackets were really high-end goods. Others bought them mainly to show off. They were rich and capable, but if you lowered the color to the level of a cotton coat, you still asked others to show off. ? Therefore, it is no wonder that such clothes can be sold, and they can only be sold at the bottom of the box.
¡°As long as you can export, that¡¯s fine, as long as you can export.¡± Secretary Ao said happily. For him, these things are not profitable at all now, and being able to clear them is a great thing for their company. You know, their factory is not very wealthy now. Although the quantity of this batch of goods is only a small amount in the eyes of Liu Dong and others, it is still a large amount for their factory. It is a good thing to be able to sell it at a par price or a slightly lower price.
As for making money or something, don¡¯t even think about it. Chen San is not a shantang owner. In China, they are not the only state-owned enterprise with a backlog of products like theirs. If they can get orders from Chen San, that¡¯s a good thing. Son, it's better to sell it than to keep it in the warehouse. After hearing Liu Dong's explanation, Secretary Ao and others no longer looked at the country as an outlet for this batch of goods. How can you sell something in China if you clearly know what the problem is and others will definitely not buy it?
Chen San said with a playful smile at this time: "Let me tell you Liu Er, look at these clothes, all green, they are going to be sold to the Soviet Union, and then they are given hats to those Soviet people. Is this considered a common job?"
"Screw you, you only think about these things in your mind. Do you still want to be an international friend? We call this support. If you keep thinking about those things, are you worthy of our Soviet comrades?" Liu Dong said angrily. arrive.
"We regard them as comrades, but they may not regard us as comrades. A few years ago, weren't we still criticizing them? Let alone doing business, even for exchange, we did not approach them. In the past few years, the conditions have become more relaxed. . If you can export it to them, it will give them face. These things are similar." Chen San didn'tSaid with intention.
"As for these things, our company doesn't care about the style or color. Anyway, they were cheap goods in the past. It's just that the models of these clothes are smaller. I don't know how to get them. Secretary Ao, you also know that those old Mao Zi's The figure is much bigger than ours. The clothes we wear for large-sized people here are just medium-sized clothes over there. The clothes we wear for small-sized people here are put over there. Go, it¡¯s pretty much just sold as children¡¯s clothing.¡± Liu Dong said scratching his head.
In this case, Liu Dong is not talking nonsense. The size of Europeans and Americans, even twenty years later, after the Chinese people's physical fitness has become better, there is still a big gap, not to mention the current era when the physical fitness of the domestic people is generally not very high, the existing clothes in the country , let alone one size smaller when taken abroad, it is not uncommon for those state-owned enterprises that are frugal to have two sizes smaller.
Hearing Liu Dong's critical words, Secretary Ao smiled bitterly: "These clothes were not prepared for foreigners. How could we have thought of these things at the time? Now even if we want to change them, we can't change them unless we make them again, but we don't have any new ones." This way, when it was made, it couldn¡¯t be sold, and it had to be kept in our factory.
Now we have finally cleared out these stocks. If we keep a batch, there are close to a thousand people in our factory, old and young, and they will all have to drink the northwest wind. Boss Liu, you have a lot of options. I wonder if it¡¯s possible to take care of our factory? "
As expected of Secretary Ao, Liu Dong just nodded his head for the first batch of goods, and now he is immediately thinking about the second batch of goods, or all future goods. With this kind of thinking, if he had been in charge of this factory a few years ago, Liu Dong believed that inventory and such would never appear in their factory.
But how could Liu Dong agree to such a thing? Although after the large-scale project of Huanya is launched, the source of goods will definitely depend on domestic factories. But the problem is that the source of this goods can also be regarded as a profit point. Secretary Ao and this factory are not Liu Dong, so why should these benefits be divided? Liu Dong is not generous to that extent yet. Even if Huanya does not engage in manufacturing itself and trades it, it will bring great benefits to Huanya or the Liu family.
So Liu Dong said vaguely: "There is a chance, it depends on the situation. I am quite satisfied with this batch of goods. Although there are various problems, the good thing is that they are not sold to China. Foreigners do not pay attention to domestic styles and colors. I will accept this batch of goods on behalf of our Huanya Group. Let¡¯s sign the contract. In two days, we will send someone over to take the goods away.¡±
By the time Liu Dong and his party came out of the factory, the entire afternoon was gone. After Chen San disappeared for a while, when it was time to leave, he gathered with Liu Dong and the others with a red face. Seeing this situation, Liu Dong knew that Chen San had gone to eat secretly again. Regarding this situation, Liu Dong had no other feelings. Anyway, he was not the one who caused harm to him. Chen San also knew how to behave. You can control others if they like you. how is he?
The first batch of inspected goods is a start. Judging from the inspection situation, this batch of goods is still considered good. Although there are many problems, the most fundamental thing is that these state-owned factories did not cut corners. Whether the Soviets like this batch of goods is not within the scope of Liu Dong's consideration. Anyway, the items sold in the past are all at bargain prices. Even if the Soviets don't like them, they won't have trouble with their own money.
After the domestic garbage is cleared out in the future, Liu Dong believes that new sources of goods and new products specifically targeted at the Soviet market will definitely come out. It will not be difficult to sell high-priced goods by then, as long as there are no problems with the channels. Then this business can last for a long time.
Even if this channel does not require Soviet machinery in the future, the interests of Huanya can be guaranteed by doing export business exclusively.
Because time is tight and the task is heavy. Liu Dong's next itinerary will naturally not be as relaxed as Secretary Ao's place. Not to mention just looking at the goods of one factory in one afternoon, even if he visits five factories in one afternoon, it is not unusual. . Later, Liu Dong and the others simply received them at a certain place wherever they went, and then asked the factories to bring the samples to where they stayed to see them.
In this way, although there is a high chance of encountering factory cheating, the efficiency will be much faster. As for how many faulty products there will be by then, Liu Dong himself has no idea. Of course, Liu Dong and the others are not without any means. They have set rules before, as long as any factory has quality problems, Then there are other forces in Huanya, and they will join forces to block it.
This deterrence, whether it is for state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, wants to be great. Huanya alone is a behemoth, and with the addition of other forces, Liu Dong doesn't believe how many people will be willing to commit crimes.
