The three sat down and Lin Guangrong poured some glasses of water.
"Have you calculated the approximate cost of this induction cooker?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"Yes, all materials don't include labor. It's about 70 yuan." Lin Guangrong nodded. This is only a rough idea. The accountant hasn't worked out the detailed costs yet.
Guo Xiang pondered, "then we'll sell for 120 yuan."
"So high?" Lin Jianbang was surprised. A 40% profit is too high.
"I don't think it's high. There are labor costs and marketing costs in the future. And you see, vertical fans cost 150 yuan. Our induction cooker is not more technologically advanced than it? " Guo Xiang said.
"That's true." Lin Guangrong nodded. "Moreover, prices have risen this year, and many things have raised prices."
"Really?" Guo Xiang mused, as if he had heard his father mention it before. It seems that 86 was a node. Later, prices gradually increased, and they were much worse in the 1990s.
"Yes, you see, the release shoes we wear used to be four yuan and five yuan, but now it costs four yuan and three yuan. Guoguang apple used to be only five cents and one kilogram. It's about to sell one piece this year. The permanent bicycle has risen to 263. Everything is expensive." Lin Guangrong said.
"However, the salary will also increase, and my master will also get a raise." Lin Guangrong smiled.
Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows. Gu Zhennan's salary rose in January, but it was because of the position of vice captain. This time, the price was greatly adjusted, and the salary should also be adjusted?
"That's true. I heard that our retirement salary will also rise." Lin Jianbang nodded.
"If so, will the prices of raw materials we buy also rise?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"It's possible, but some materials have risen, and some haven't." Lin Guangrong said.
"In this case, the price of the induction cooker is 128, which is also a good color." Guo Xiang said that Chinese people like the number 8, which means hair!
As soon as wages rise, the purchasing power of Chinese people will increase. If we publicize many benefits of this induction cooker, should sales be more smooth?
"OK." Lin Guangrong nodded.
"Director Lin, set up the sales department immediately. I'm going to hold a sales promotion in the city this Sunday. Glory, you have the product ready, the soup pot you sent, and buy some washing powder, soap, noodle boxes, towels, toothbrushes, lunch boxes and other things. I'll do a lucky draw. " Guo Xiang said.
When conducting a lottery during promotion, first, it can bring up the atmosphere. Second, most people have a greedy attitude. They will be happier when they buy a pot and send something.
"Good!" Lin Guangrong nodded and felt very novel. He had never seen such sales before.
To tell the truth, it used to be a planned economy. Whether to sell or not is a matter for the state. Everyone's enthusiasm is not high.
Let's say that the service attitude of the people in the supply and marketing cooperatives is still terrible. It depends on their face to buy something. It should be more popular to sell and give away things in their own factory.
"By the way, the product manual and everything should be printed, the instructions for use, precautions, etc., and the warranty certificate should be attached. We should be responsible for our products." Guo Xiang said.
"Yes!" Lin Guangrong nodded, but his mother was considerate.
Lin Jianbang was a little impressed by Guo Xiang. Originally, she thought she only had some money, so she opened this factory. Unexpectedly, there are many ways in management and sales. It seems that she is very experienced. I really can't think of it.
"We will have activities in front of the largest shopping mall on Sunday. By the way, there are friendship stores. The people who buy there are rich people. They should be interested in our products." Guo Xiang said.
"Good!" Lin Guangrong nodded, "I'll prepare right away."
On Sunday, Gu Zhennan got up early and called Guo Xiang up after breakfast.
"What time is it?" Guo Xiang rubbed his bleary eyes.
"It's eight o'clock." Gu Zhennan said, "glory, they should all go."
Generally, the unit goes to work at eight o'clock. Even on Sunday, it can be a little late and won't be late.
"Oh!" Guo Xiang got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face and had breakfast. Gu Zhennan took a hot water bag and filled it and handed it to her, "take this with you!"
"No?" Guo Xiang, look outside.
Now it is early March. Although the minimum temperature is only minus 56 degrees, the maximum temperature during the day can reach above zero five degrees, which is not cold.
"Isn't it going to happen in two days? Be careful and get cold again. " Gu Zhennan said.
Guo Xiang was stunned. He forgot his aunt's date. Unexpectedly, he remembered it.
"My husband is so nice!" Guo Xiang kissed Gu Zhennan on the face.
Gu Zhennan rubbed the top of her hair, took her gloves, helped her put on her scarf, put on her ear bag, and took her hand out of the door.
When he arrived at the department store, Lin Guangrong had taken several people to set up a simple tent in the open space in front of the store. Packed products and some raffle prizes are neatly placed inside.
Guo Xiang was surprised. Lin Guangrong was very thoughtful.
It's still cold now. I can't stand staying outdoors all the time. It's better to have a tent than not.
"This is borrowed from the oil field." Lin Guangrong said with a smile.
There are many field operations in the oil field, and tents are necessary.
"And diesel generators." Lin Guangrong smiled, "let my father borrow it for me."
Guo Xiang noticed that there was also a small diesel generator in it, so he didn't have to borrow the electricity in the mall. It's one thing whether people would or not, and it's difficult to calculate the electricity bill. After all, the induction cooker still consumes a lot of electricity.
It seems that Lin Guangrong is quite capable.
When the diesel generator started, Lin Guangrong asked people to set up several tables in front of the tent, took out several induction cookers and plugged them in.
Put the prepared non stick pot and soup pot on.
At this time, a worker in his thirties came over, "factory director Lin, I also brought a few kilograms of cabbage and potatoes. I think it's better to cook hot pot directly, which is more intuitive and attractive."
"That's a good idea." Guo Xiang's eyes lit up. She didn't expect it.
"Good!" Lin Guangrong called several salesmen over and introduced them to Guo Xiang, "this is Lin Dalong, this is Zhang Peng, this is Zhang cuifen, and this is Wang Pinghua."
Guo Xiang nodded and shook hands with them one by one.
Lin Guangrong also introduced Guo Xiang, "this is our deputy factory director Guo Xiang, in charge of sales."
"Deputy factory director?" I'm surprised. I've never seen it in the factory.
Guo Xiang smiled, "I just hang up my name. I don't work in the factory. If I have something to do, I'll come and help."
"Sister cuifen has a good idea. I think she'll cook a hot pot." Guo Xiang said.
"That's great. Shall I cook it? I also brought my own hot pot seasoning. " Zhang cuifen said with a smile.
When Guo Xiang looked at it, the red oil was hot.
"Is sister cuifen from the south?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"Yes, my ancestral home is from Sichuan Province. My father came to Northeast China more than ten years ago, but it's so spicy. This mouth can't be changed." Zhang cuifen said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, I'm from southern Hunan." Guo Xiang smiled.
"So you're a hot girl, too?" Zhang cuifen was surprised. "Then director Guo will try it later?"
"Good!" Guo Xiang nodded, "use the mandarin duck pot, half spicy and half not spicy."
Gu Zhennan was a little embarrassed. Is this to sell induction cooker or hot pot?
