Chapter 162

"I discussed it with my father. He thinks it's much better than what I did before." Lin Guangrong smiled. "He's very positive. He helped me investigate several factories. I think two of them are very suitable. Look, martial mother?"

Lin Guangrong took a piece of paper on which he wrote the current situation of the two factories.

Guo Xiang took it over and looked.

One is a collective agricultural machinery factory, which now has about 100 people. Because there are many large state-owned machinery factories here, the sales of agricultural tools produced by small agricultural machinery factories are very poor. Originally, they were collective enterprises and gradually collapsed without state support.

There is also a manufacturer of that kind of old-fashioned iron. There are only about 30 people. Because the products are outdated and have no market, they are also on the verge of bankruptcy.

Guo Xiang thinks that an iron factory is more suitable. After all, it is also a small household appliance. If you make money in the future, you can also make an iron, a steam iron, and those hanging ironing machines used in future generations.

Now, although there are many large electrical appliance factories, such as televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., there are relatively few small electrical appliance factories. After all, these are not necessities of life.

Although it is not, it is related to the status of a family in society. If there is a family with large household appliances, it will have great face. Therefore, although it is also expensive, some people still buy it.

However, with the improvement of people's living standards in the future, small household appliances will also appear in every family, and the market is great.

"I think this iron factory can." Guo Xiang pointed to the information on the paper and said, "the small factory is also in line with our current scale at the beginning of the period, and the contracting pressure is also small."

"But the available resources of this factory are limited." Lin Guangrong frowned.

"That's no problem. Some things don't have to be made by our factory. For example, we can find other factories to order the shell of the induction cooker. We can master the core technology and core materials ourselves. " Guo Xiang said.

"That's true." Lin Guangrong nodded. Just like their current pumping units, some parts were not produced by petroleum machinery factories, but some small factories did.

"Is the working principle of the induction cooker clear? Can I buy raw materials? " Guo Xiang said.

"Don't worry. For this, I went to Taiqing university to find my uncle. He is a teacher there. He teaches material engineering and has a lot of research on this. At first glance, our design was straightforward and gave me a lot of suggestions. " Lin Guangrong said.

"That's good. I'll leave the technology to you. I am responsible for investment and future marketing. " Guo Xiang said.

With the previous marketing experience of sanitary napkins, Guo Xiang thinks it can also be publicized in the form of advertising.

In addition, many shopping malls in later generations can take advantage of promotional activities, lucky draw and so on.

"By the way, have you found that our induction cooker is flat, so we need to use a special pan." Guo Xiang said again.

"I really didn't notice if you didn't say it." Lin Guangrong nodded, "what should I do? There seems to be no pan on the market."

"So we can sell pots again!" Guo Xiangxiao, "find a kitchenware factory to order a pan and sell it in major shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives in the future. Moreover, the pan can be used not only in induction cooker, but also in coal stove and carbon stove we usually use. The market is very large."

"Yes, that's a good idea." Lin Guangrong's eyes are bright, but his teacher's mother is smart.

"At the beginning of the period, in order to publicize, we can send the pot. We can send the cheap thin iron pot with a layer of stainless steel. The pot has low cost, but it heats quickly. It is very suitable for hot pot." Guo Xiang said.

"Yes, you can also make hot pot!" Lin Guangrong's eyes brightened. "Now hot pots are charcoal burning. If you don't tell me, there is smoke if you can't burn well. It's too convenient for this induction cooker to make hot pot."

"So, do you think there will be a market?" Guo Xiang smiled.

Lin Guangrong was immediately full of confidence, "there will be!"

"Next, let's estimate how much we need to invest, as well as the cost and selling price of the induction cooker. It can't be too high. If it's too high, no one will buy it." Guo Xiang said.

"I really did some research on this." Lin Guangrong took out another piece of paper, "look, mother, now the prices of some electrical appliances commonly used in the family."

"Permanent brand bicycle, 28 bars, 235 yuan. Universal radio, $90. 199 yuan for brandy single cylinder washing machine, 385 yuan for double cylinder... "

"Let me see." Guo Xiang was a little surprised. Is the washing machine so expensive? The automatic washing machines of later generations are only a few hundred yuan.

However, at present, the output is small and the cost is high. Unlike later generations, there are many manufacturers, advanced technology and common materials, so the cost is naturally low.

"It's still cheap. The imported Toshiba semi-automatic double cylinder is 470 yuan and the power brand in Guangdong Province is 428 yuan. Watch TV again. Imported color TV sets cost 1070 yuan for 14 inches, 1480 yuan for 18 inches and 1650 yuan for 20 inches. Domestic 18 inch 1330, 20 inch 1500. " Lin Guangrong continued.

"So expensive?" Guo Xiang was surprised. Now the salary of ordinary workers is only thirty or forty yuan a month. These are so expensive. It takes several years' salary to afford them, but it seems that many families still buy them?

It seems that some people are willing to spend money.

"There are more expensive ones. A Qindao Liebherr refrigerator, 3780 yuan, can build a small two-story foreign house." Lin Guangrong tutted and sighed, "but this should be affordable for 10000 yuan households."

"In addition, tape recorders have more than 200 mono channels, more than 400 dual channels, and 155 vertical electric fans... These are not necessities of life. They are so expensive, but many people still buy them." Lin Guangrong was very excited, "so I think we can do this."

Guo Xiang nodded and looked at Lin Guangrong with new eyes. Unexpectedly, the little fat man has a business mind. He has done so well in market research!

It seems right to find him as a partner.

"Well done. Xiao Lin is a good businessman." Guo Xiang sighed, "I'll design the appearance of the induction cooker later to make it look better."

"Eat first." Gu Zhennan knocked on the table, "the dishes are cold."

Guo Xiang and Lin Guangrong smiled awkwardly. They were too excited to talk and forgot to eat.

After dinner, Gu Zhennan took away the dishes and chopsticks. Guo Xiang and Lin Guangrong talked happily again.

"Why don't we go to the iron factory in the afternoon?" Lin Guangrong said.

"OK." Guo Xiang nodded, "have you finished your suspension?"

"It's all over to my father. He'll do it for me." Lin Guangrong said, "my father said it's OK for me to go outside when I'm young. Anyway, I just stay without pay and my unit pays social security. Don't worry about this. If I don't do well, I'll go back."

Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows. It seems that the little fat man's family still has a way. Otherwise, it's not so easy for people who come out to want to go back.

Gu Zhennan had to go to work and couldn't go with Guo Xiang. He told Lin Guangrong, "go out and take care of your teacher's mother. Don't let her fall and freeze."

"Don't worry, master!" Lin Guangrong shouted.
