452 Small Meeting
Yao Nian really couldn’t stand staying in the village anymore and set a time limit for him to stay until next year at most. Before next year, he had to think of a way to make Yu Yan relent and bring him back to the city.
Yu Bing, who had already arrived at the factory, had no idea that so many things had happened behind her back. She wanted to expand the factory’s business to the capital and S City before school started next year. After things stabilized, she would hand the responsibilities over to reliable people and continue to expand the factory’s business.
This way, even if she left the He Mountain Village later, Yu Bing could rest assured. After all, everything here was planned and built by her, so she didn’t want the industrial chain to slowly wither after she left. This was the livelihood of the hundreds of people in the village!
Yu Bing recruited Shu Ya into the factory as a product designer. Because she didn’t have to be there physically, her work points were still the same, but her salary and benefits were half of that of ordinary workers.
Yu Bing even left the management of the night school to Shu Ya. After all, Shu Ya was from a scholarly family and had some talent in terms of education.
Not only did Shu Ya prepare her own classes, but she also often helped give other teachers ideas on how to make the class more lively and make students listen to the class more attentively. She would also actively make adjustments to the classes according to the villagers’ actual needs.
When there was a need, Shu Ya would work on designs for the factory. Usually, she would watch over the library Yu Bing established and occasionally help the teachers who were working. She was also very busy, but it was much more relaxing than working in the fields.
To Yu Bing, this was called leaving professional matters to professionals. However, to Shu Ya, this showed that Yu Bing valued her. Although she didn’t say it, she remembered Yu Bing’s kindness.
When Yu Bing arrived at the office, Shu Ya was already waiting at the door.
After Yu Bing opened the door, Shu Ya followed her in. Feng Cai handed over the contract orders he had recently brought back to Wen Qin. At the same time, he would check which people had yet to send the final payment, so he could urge them.
When the two of them saw Yu Bing pass by the accounting room, they stopped what they were doing and went next door.
Today, Yu Bing specifically gathered them for a small meeting to discuss the New Year gift box set.
Wen Qin handed the compiled data to Yu Bing. “As you requested, I’ve compared the sales of various products in the past half a year by month. The second page is the top ten products of our list, the sales performance of various cities in the past three months, and the third page is the production cost of each product under the current production capacity and the price of raw materials.”
After Yu Bing looked at the data, she asked Feng Cai, “Tell me about the sales situation of the various cities and your thoughts on the New Year gift box.”
This sudden question made Feng Cai a little nervous. He had never specifically memorized sales data, so he could only try to recall the data he remembered. He stuttered as he said, “As for gift boxes, I think there should be as many types as possible. Other than the gift boxes for single products, the other combination gift boxes should have a deluxe and normal version. The purchasing prices of the suppliers of Jiang Province’s various agencies and manufacturers are mostly between 0.5 to 4 yuan. I suggest we stick to this price range as well.”
Although Yu Bing was younger than him, Feng Cai couldn’t help but feel nervous when he was asked.
Feng Cai swallowed hard after answering the question.
Yu Bing gave the first two pages to Feng Cai and Shu Ya, and the third page to Wen Qin.
Feng Cai was only half right. To be able to remember so much data from the image shop in the past few months without specific statistics meant that he had analyzed the orders from the sales department.
Although Feng Cai didn’t meet Yu Bing’s expectations, he passed.
Yu Bing didn’t say anything and only reminded Feng Cai to value the application of data. “You can also use a similar form to manage the data for your customers starting next year. This will help you discover problems in time and make sales decisions.”
“For example, you will be able to tell if our customers prefer our spicy products or sweet products, as well as the price range they can accept. This way, you can recommend new products next time.”
“Even when we give them custom-made products for their daily employee benefits, we can match them according to their preferences, especially for orders from large factories. We have many competitors, so we should cherish every opportunity.”
