Chapter 140 [The New Year's Direction of PG Zipper]
It’s New Year’s Eve again, and this year’s Wu Guangyao finally further felt the meaning of home.
‘There are old people above and small people below’ should not be a sentence with pressure, but a sentence full of happiness.
Early in the morning, Wu Guangyao got up early, wrote couplets and hung lanterns.
"Guangyao, when did you practice calligraphy?" Zhou Xuefen looked surprised. Her son had written in a tactile way before.
"I started practicing when I came to Hong Kong Island, and it gradually became like this. Maybe I didn't have any intention before!" Wu Guangyao said casually. Anyway, he inherited the memories of his predecessor and was not afraid of being exposed.
"You child is smart, but you didn't care before!" Zhou Xuefen thought for granted.
He posted couplets and hung lanterns. However, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Wu Guangyao hugged his eldest son Wu Xianshuo again and teased him for a while.
"The little guy's 100-day banquet is to be held in a grand ceremony. I will introduce it to my relatives, friends and business partners. There is a successor to the Wu family founded by Wu Guangyao!"
After hearing this, the whole family felt it was reasonable. The huge industry founded by Wu Guangyao also needed someone to succeed him.
Lin Yueru is happy and proud.
Although I have received a new type of education, the more I stay with Wu Guangyao, the more I will accept all his ideas.
Although some places are contradictory, Lin Yueru still chose her husband.
On New Year’s Eve, Wu Guangyao didn’t go there, so he just stayed at home to accompany his family. It was a rare day off!
......
"Happy New Year, Boss, Congratulations on making a fortune!"
When Wu Guangyao walked into the PG Zipper Industrial Park in Shau Chiwan, workers greeted Wu Guangyao one after another.
"Have you received the Spring Festival benefits yesterday? Have you received the New Year red envelope today?" Wu Guangyao asked everyone with a smile.
Everyone answered, received it, and expressed their gratitude!
Not having a holiday during the Chinese New Year is not exclusive to Wu Guangyao. At this time, many companies in Hong Kong will not choose to have a holiday.
However, Wu Guangyao's companies are very generous, including Spring Festival benefits (rice and oil and other daily necessities) and red envelopes for start-up work (HKD 5).
In this way, there will naturally be less resentment and the workers will have more sense of belonging!
When he arrived at the conference room, Wu Guangyao held a manager meeting to set the goals and directions of PG zipper for the New Year.
"The Xingcheng factory will start full production in March, so there should be no problem?" Wu Guangyao asked first.
"There is no problem. All the machinery has been installed and debugged. The workers there are also mobilizing experienced employees from here to conduct training..." Li Bing briefly reported on his recent situation.
PG zippers have become an automatic machine. Wu Guangyao only needs to take care of them from time to time, maintain them, or replace parts.
Wu Guangyao nodded and continued to ask: "How are the preparations for the agent selection in Meizhou?"
"Very good. Many powerful businessmen said they would go to Xingcheng on March 1 to participate in this agent selection conference! Will the boss attend this event at that time?"
"Of course, how could I be absent for such an important thing!"
Then Wu Guangyao carefully asked about the movements of the Japanese YKK zipper and concluded that the pressure on PG zipper is high.
Unlike European and American zipper manufacturers, Japan also has many advantages of PG zippers, which is that they are relatively close in terms of price.
The current production and sales of YKK zippers have tied up with PG zippers, forming a tight pressing situation step by step.
Even in America, his master country, they were even more popular.
If PG zippers do not take measures, they will gradually be at a disadvantage in the subsequent global market competition.
Strategies are not something that can only be thought about when things come to an end. We must have a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Therefore, price reduction is inevitable. This is probably the only solution that can be taken advantage of at present!
As for other places, such as quality and service, although both companies are secretly competing, they are also imitating each other, so they are comparable.
"As the zipper market becomes larger and larger, we must reduce profit margins and improve product competitiveness!" Wu Guangyao announced this big event. Currently, the profit margins of PG zippers are very high, and there is still a lot of room for concessions.
"Well, our current cost has dropped further, reaching 1.4 cents per piece. When our smelter was produced, my estimated cost was only 1.25 cents per piece, and even if the freight in Europe and the United States was only 1.3 cents per piece. So boss, you can set a unified price!"
Wu Guangyao nodded, carefully calculated on the paper, and said, "The annual demand for medium and large customers is 5 levels, with an annual demand of 1 million pieces, corresponding to 2.3 cents each; the annual demand of 3 million pieces, corresponding to 2.2 cents; the annual demand of 5 million pieces, corresponding to 2.1 cents; the annual demand of 10 million pieces, corresponding to 2 cents; the annual demand of 15 million pieces, corresponding to 1.9 cents. Similarly, agents also follow the corresponding model and price."
The price of PG zippers is calculated based on the annual cumulative amount. For example, when you purchased 3 million pieces at the beginning, it will of course be calculated at the price of 2.2 cents. As long as you accumulated 5 million zippers within this year, the PG zipper will count your entire annual purchase volume, and then use a refund subsidy.
"In this way, Japan's YKK zippers will definitely not be able to deal with them, and our PG zippers will continue to lead!" an administrator echoed.
"While price reduction, we still cannot relax and be wary of quality issues. This is the real lifeline!" Wu Guangyao saw that everyone was a little proud and calmly reminded.
"Of course, our quality has always been better than other companies. Now the company has invested so much R&D funds and attached so much importance to it, and will definitely not lag behind in this regard." Li Bing assured Wu Guangyao.
Wu Guangyao nodded. He was still the helm of the company and did not let it go, so he still knew the company's situation.
PG Zipper has an after-sales service department, which regularly visits global customers and market research.
What is the quality of the PG zipper? What problems will occur after a year of use?
Then the statistics were made and submitted directly to Wu Guangyao and the company's management.
Similarly, Wu Guangyao regularly visits medium and large customers on the phone every year to collect opinions and feedback in person.
After the meeting, Wu Guangyao did not leave the PG Zipper Industrial Park, but instead wrote some New Year plans for the zipper industry in the office.
The PG zipper is operated by reference to the YKK zippers of later generations, and Wu Guangyao also copied a lot of experiences summarized by later generations.
For example, lay out the entire zipper industry chain, such as smelting plants, weaving plants, machinery factories, and in every link, it is necessary to be the best factory in the world.
At Lin Youde's weaving factory, Wu Guangyao repeatedly emphasized to Lin Youde that the little bit of fabric on his zipper must be of the best quality in Asia, or even the world.
In order to meet this requirement, Lin Youde invested huge amounts of money in recruiting workers and purchasing machinery in Europe and the United States.
Don’t underestimate that little bit of fabric, but it can’t stand the demand for billions of pieces every year, which is enough to make Lin Youde the first place in the textile industry in Hong Kong.
It is precisely because of these links that Wu Guangyao has the confidence to compete with zipper manufacturers around the world and to be the first.
In the new year, Wu Guangyao will continue to improve these supply links so that it is impeccable from bottom to top!
