Chapter 1029 Auction
The supply and marketing section chief left Chen Changan's office with a smile, while Chen Changan sat in the office thinking about countermeasures.
It is obvious that when the task was issued last year, Uncle Nie was still in office and the task requirements for the automobile factory were not high.
Especially in terms of trucks, although there is still a shortage of trucks, automobile factories are no longer the main force in truck production.
As for electronic products, the main products of automobile manufacturers are currently televisions and VCDs.
VCD sales are very good in Hong Kong Island. Although TV programs are good, with the availability of various optical discs, watching VCDs is the best choice when there are no good TV programs.
So Chen Changan did not go to the department to find Director Zou, but contacted the Huo family directly via telegram.
A few days later, Mr. Huo flew to Beijing himself, and his first stop after getting off the plane was the automobile factory.
"Mr. Huo, welcome back to the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory."
"Director Chen, our Huo family's business is now closely related to you.
Director Xiujuan returned to Hong Kong Island a few days ago and immediately began preparing for the filming of a new movie.
Regarding the movie, I must say that the scripts produced by Director Chen are truly masterpieces.
In my opinion, the script of "Yellow River Hero" is no worse than that of "Shaolin Temple".
I believe that once this movie is released, it will definitely be a hit movie.”
"I invited Mr. Huang to come to Sijiu City this time because I have something to discuss with Mr. Huo."
"You say."
"Well, I've noticed that television sales in Hong Kong Island have been slowly declining recently."
"That's true. Hong Kong Island is still limited in terms of population, and the market is basically saturated.
People who are willing to buy and can afford it basically either have bought a TV or the TV at home is still working.
The rest of the people just don’t want to buy or can’t afford it. As for international sales, the changes are not that big.
Although TV sales have declined, VCD sales are still rising. Overall, the sales situation in Hong Kong Island is still very optimistic."
It was because the sales of televisions in Hong Kong Island had declined that Director Zou dared to ask the automobile factory to focus on television production in the country.
Otherwise, even if Director Zou had a hundred guts, he would not dare to affect the automobile factory's foreign exchange earnings.
If this really happened, there would be no need for Chen Changan, someone would naturally take action against Director Zou.
"I'm thinking this way: since TV sales are declining and VCD sales are increasing, can we do a promotion?
For example, if you buy a VCD, you can enjoy some discounts when you buy a TV.
Or if you buy a TV and a VCD at the same time, you can get a bigger discount.
I believe that once we launch this promotion, sales will definitely increase significantly, whether in Hong Kong Island or Southeast Asia."
Mr. Huo thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
“This is a good idea. Although the profit is reduced after the discount, the quantity sold has increased.
Furthermore, VCDs already have high profit margins, so at most the interest rate on TVs will be reduced, and overall we should be able to make more money."
"Yes, small profits but quick turnover. With the lure of VCDs, more people will definitely choose to buy two items together, which is obviously more cost-effective.
At the same time, it can also increase our brand share, so when there is a need in the future, our brand will be the first thing that comes to mind.”
"Yes, that's a good idea. When I get back to Hong Kong Island, I'll immediately have someone calculate what discount would be the most cost-effective."
The deal was done. Chen Changan believed that once the TV and VCD were sold as a bundle, sales would definitely increase. The Huo family would then definitely purchase a large quantity of the product, and Director Zou's little plan would be shattered.
"But Director Chen, do you want to increase the production of handheld games?
This game console has been selling very well no matter where it is sold.”
“It’s still a bit difficult to increase production, but our car factory’s plan this year is to set up a chip research lab.
The hope is to increase chip production and produce chips with better performance.
This may take some time, so if we want to increase production in the near future, we have to purchase chips. So I can only say we will try our best."
"Not only production, but also new games need to be developed. As far as I know, Xiaorizi's handheld game console has already reached the release stage, and we will soon start a head-on competition with several companies of Xiaorizi."
Speaking of games, Xiao Rizi is also very good at making games, especially stand-alone games.
But Chen Changan is not bad either. He often skipped classes to play games back then.
Furthermore, every game Chen Changan knew about had been market-tested and was a hit. They could really compete with a few smaller companies.
"Don't worry, the market prospects in the field of games are very promising.
I'm ready to invite Mr. Huang to lead the team, and it won't be long before there's a huge explosion."
After chatting with Chen Changan for an afternoon, Mr. Huo left. After a night's rest, he would visit several important figures.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I might as well wish these people a happy new year in advance.
A few days later, the first unplanned auction of televisions took place in the car factory's conference room.
Chen Changan didn't care at all about the new task that Director Zou gave to the automobile factory.
This year is the same as last year's amount. If you want to increase the plan, have you asked me?
The ministry’s plan is indeed important, but the automobile factory has already signed a contract with these people and received a deposit.
Can you just say no and not give it? Leader Zou, you may be shameless enough to say that, but I, Chen Changan, have my dignity.
Hou Yan was responsible for hosting this auction, while Chen Changan sat on the side and watched.
“Everyone can come in after paying a deposit, so I believe you have a certain understanding of the televisions produced by our automobile factory.
Our factory needs to export 29-inch color TVs, so they will not appear in this auction.
There are a total of 10,000 televisions on auction at this auction. In order not to waste everyone's time, 100 televisions are sold in bundles.
At this time, I have also displayed the samples of TVs for everyone.
This is a 24-inch color TV that uses the cathode ray tube produced by our automobile factory. The technology is at the international leading level.
There is no problem with either the brand or the quality.
The auction is now officially underway. The first batch of 100 televisions has a starting price of 200,000, with each bid increasing by at least 10,000. The auction begins now."
