Chapter 649 Status Quo of Excavator Industry
After the regular meeting of factory-level cadres, He Jusheng had a blue face and left the conference room without saying a word.
This guy is really very resentful to Zhao Guoyang now. He obviously wants to make a fuss about Huang Xiaohua, but after being denied by Zhang Zhizhong, he still remembers it in Zhao Guoyang.
Zhao Guoyang was indifferent to the resentful gaze cast by this guy before leaving, just as if he didn't exist.
Maybe it is precisely because of this kind of ignorance that He Jusheng feels even more unhappy.
"Guoyang, are you going abroad at the beginning of next month, right? Going to Africa?"
Wang Youchang's voice interrupted Zhao Guoyang's thoughts.
"Director Wang, I am indeed going abroad at the beginning of next month. But the first stop is not Africa, but North America." Zhao Guoyang replied with a smile.
"Ah, by the way. You must lead a team to North America to inspect the all-terrain vehicle market first!" Wang Youchang suddenly realized.
Ma Jian, who was sitting opposite, happily spit out a cigarette ring and said, "Lao Wang, I heard that North American oatmeal is very famous. You don't like drinking this thing, let Guoyang bring you a can!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Youchang glared at Ma Jian: "Old Ma, Guoyang is here to North America this time, but the captain is here, so he must lead by example. How can he spend his time on such irrelevant trivial matters?"
Ma Jian was a little embarrassed by this stubborn Lao Wang.
Fortunately, Mu Aijun promptly released a voice to rescue the siege: "Guoyang, in addition to our 'Hongda Machinery Factory', 'Siyang Group' and 'Chongqi Group', the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry will also send people, right?"
Seeing Zhao Guoyang nodding and saying yes, Mu Aijun smiled and said, "Then the leader of your delegation cannot be stingy. Let the people from the 'Siyang Group' and 'Chongqi Group' be compared for nothing..."
"In this way, I will give you 20,000 yuan in activity funds. If you see if there is any suitable thing, prepare one for all the members of the group!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhizhong, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, the factory director has a good idea. Anyway, Guoyang, you are the team leader, so it is appropriate to prepare gifts for everyone. Everyone will definitely accept your love!"
Mu Aijun nodded gently and added: "That's right, as the saying goes, this is the reason. In addition, if you look back, you can bring some more money when you come back!"
Upon hearing this, the embarrassment on Ma Jian's face was wiped out.
In fact, not only Wang Youchang, he also loves drinking oatmeal.
After roughly talking to the big guys in the factory about their trip in August, Zhao Guoyang said goodbye and returned to his office first.
There is no way. After receiving a call from Susanna yesterday, Zhao Guoyang always felt that there was one thing that must be known as soon as possible, that is, how much demand is the domestic construction industry for construction machinery such as excavators.
Only by understanding this answer can Zhao Guoyang determine whether his "SMS company" should focus on this project.
When he sat back on his chair, Zhao Guoyang took out a business card and dialed the number to the phone above.
After waiting for a while, the phone was connected, and the highly recognizable voice came from inside.
"Hey, hey, where are you?"
Hearing the sound of Bao Feiming, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but chuckled: "Mr. Mao, it's me, Zhao Guoyang!"
Mao Feiming obviously didn't expect that Zhao Guoyang would call him, and there was a surprise at the moment.
"Haha, Brother Guoyang? You are so busy, why did you have time to hang up the phone today? When I was talking to Chairman Wu of FAW Group two days ago, I heard him mention you, saying that you may not be in China for a month in August!"
"I was hoping that you would come to Beijing again so that I could thank you in person. Brother Guoyang, you may not know yet? Our Beijing Sanjian has officially reached a cooperation agreement with FAW Group and has begun to purchase their heavy trucks."
"Brother Guoyang, you have definitely helped us a lot! Haha..."
Listening to Mr. Mao's words as if he was happy, Zhao Guoyang said humbly: "Mr. Mao, you are so polite. I can't thank me. The main reason is that I'm just a coincidence. In addition, the product quality of FAW Group also meets your requirements."
Zhao Guoyang's humility made Mao Feiming have a better impression of him.
After a while of a fancy praising for no money, Mr. Mao asked happily: "Brother Guoyang, you must have something to ask me today, right? If you have anything, just say it, as long as I can help, I will definitely not be able to do anything!"
Listening to the careless words of Mr. Mao, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Mao, it's not that serious, I just want to inquire about something from you..."
"Oh? Brother Guoyang, tell me." Zhuo Feiming opened his voice repeatedly.
"That's right, Mr. Mao. Didn't I tell you when we had dinner in Beijing before? Our "SMS Engineering Machinery Group Company" also intends to enter the field of construction machinery."
When Mao Feiming heard this, he was shocked: "Yes, yes, brother Guoyang, you did mention this matter... Could it be that your company has already taken out the product so quickly? It's too fast!"
Seeing that Mr. Mao was wrong, Zhao Guoyang quickly explained: "No, Mr. Mao, please listen to me! That's it..."
Next, Zhao Guoyang told the story of his preparation for promoting the excavator project in "SMS Company".
After some introduction, Zhao Guoyang said frankly: "Mr. Mao, to be honest, I am not very worried about the prospects of 'excavators' in foreign markets. I have friends in Latin America and some countries in Eastern Europe, and the feedback from market research is also pretty good..."
"But we can't hang ourselves on a tree. Although the foreign market is guaranteed, the domestic market must also take into account both. After all, the demand in our domestic market may be equivalent to the sum of many small foreign markets."
Having said that, Mao Feiming didn't know the purpose of his phone call.
At that moment, Mr. Mao responded: "Let's understand! Brother Guoyang, do you want to ask me about the domestic market and how much demand is for construction machinery such as excavators?"
Zhao Guoyang also talked a lot of nonsense and said directly: "Yes, Mr. Mao. I would like to ask you for advice on this!"
"Hey, Brother Guoyang, you said this. We brothers hit it off at first sight. I have no choice but to answer your question, brother!"
After pausing for a moment, Zhuo Feiming continued: "This is the situation. Our domestic excavator industry is indeed quite prosperous now. There are at least fifty or sixty manufacturers in total."
"There are more than ten brands of excavators on just a few construction sites we built in three..."
Speaking of this, Mao Feiming smiled and asked, "Brother Guoyang, once I talked about this situation, you probably guessed the current situation of this industry?"
Zhao Guoyang and him didn't hide it, so they immediately said "Hmm" and said, "I guessed it. Mr. Mao, what you mean is that although our domestic excavator manufacturers have a large number, their production capacity is mostly severely insufficient, right?"
"Yes, that's the case!"
Bao Fei exclaimed and said in admiration: "Brother Guoyang, you are so smart, you can understand it at a glance. In fact, our Beijing Sanjian also wants to purchase goods from an excavator factory regularly."
"But unfortunately, the only two excavator manufacturers with strong production capacity are the first to supply their own countries because they are both joint ventures."
"It's our turn to divide the remaining goods with several other major construction companies in China. There is nothing left to us..."
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang suddenly understood that the product quality of these two joint ventures must be the top in the domestic market.
Otherwise, the Beijing Sanjian, which is not short of money, wouldn't have to buy these goods by looking at others' expressions.
But by counting this, the opportunity in the domestic excavator market is really great.
After all, there are many places used in construction machinery such as excavators and the demand is also huge.
Maybe a construction site in the third construction of Beijing requires dozens or even hundreds of them.
In some of the more massive projects in the western part of the country, this number may have to be repeated a few or even dozens of times.
In this way, at least from the feedback information we have received so far, its own "SMS company" still has market prospects for this project.
Just as Zhao Guoyang was thinking to himself, Zhuang Feiming from the other end of the phone couldn't help but ask: "Brother Guoyang, brother Guoyang?"
"Uh, Mr. Mao, I'm here. Sorry, I thought about something and made you wait for a long time!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Mao Feiming was easy to talk to. He shouted carelessly, "Brother Guoyang, if you really want to do an excavator project, I have an idea..."
Zhao Guoyang was slightly stunned and immediately spoke out: "Does Mr. Mao have any good ideas? Please give me some advice!"
Zhuo Feiming said happily: "There is no good idea! However, when I called the boss of an excavator manufacturer not long ago, I heard that their factory was discussing transfers with people. It seemed that the product was unsalable and the capital chain was broken..."
"Brother Guoyang, don't be disdainful of their products because they are unsold. In fact, the quality of the excavators in their factories is still guaranteed. I think the reason for their products is unsold is due to other factors..."
Mao Feiming did not say in depth, but Zhao Guoyang could guess some of it.
In the 1990s, the importance of unit sales was actually to be placed at the forefront of all aspects of the company.
The reason is very simple. During this period, domestic supervision in this area was not strict.
If this salesperson is selfish and does not follow the rules, it is likely to be bad.
Even if the quality of the products in the factory is very good, it is likely that the stall will be ruined because of the sales mischief.
