Chapter 88 Whoever hits us, we will hit Musk! (1)
After watching Paris' actions, everyone in the conference room began to actively make suggestions.
Xu Qingzhou, a passionate young man, proposed to start a price war with North America and adopt a more aggressive pricing strategy to compete for market share with his opponents.
Li Changxing suggested abandoning part of the low-end market and focusing on the mid-to-high-end route, just like Apple. It does not require the highest market share, but it must maintain its brand image and sufficient profit margins.
Cao Feiyu is relatively calm. He thinks the price can be lowered, but let’s forget about price war. If we want to fight, it will be cost-effective.
For example, Michelin Haoyue tires cost 400 yuan each, and Kunlun Rolling Stone tires cost 550 yuan each. Although Michelin seems to be cheaper, the safety and durability of Rolling Stone technology are not comparable to those of Michelin. It's slightly more expensive, but more cost-effective.
Everyone discussed and felt that Cao Feiyu's strategy was good.
Only doing high-end products will put ordinary consumers away, which is not in line with the company's original intention of transforming life with technology, and a price war is even more undesirable. Kunlun Company is so big, and it is easy to compete with the four major Fortune 500 companies on price at the same time. It will hurt yourself internally.
Although the strategy was decided, everyone was still itching with hatred.
After finally seeing the hope of rising, North America suddenly intervened. In order to stop the speed of Kunlun Company's development, the world's giants even formed an alliance and gave the alliance a weird name like Zhan Kunlun.
Cao Feiyu shook his head slightly, "I just calculated it. At present, the company's various fronts are combined. If we can maintain a net profit margin of 8%, we will be thankful."
"What kind of thing is this? Even if we put the money in an investment bank to be a hedge fund, we can still get more than 5% of the income every year, right? How can we only make this little profit if we work in industry?"
Gao Yuan said disapprovingly: "It's normal. In 2010, our country imported a large amount of alkane gas, and the international monopoly company quoted us as high as 45,000 yuan per kilogram. Later, a company in Fujian broke the Western monopoly, and the West immediately lowered the price to Twenty thousand yuan, trying to squeeze out Chinese suppliers."
"What happened next?" Everyone knew that Gao Yuan must have a deeper meaning when telling this story at this moment, so they hurriedly asked for the follow-up.
"The Fujian company was very miserable. It once had to rely on blood transfusions from the national team to survive. However, after withstanding the first and second wave of offensives, our Chinese suppliers continued to improve their technology and the cost became lower and lower. They took the initiative to lower the price to At 15,000 yuan per kilogram, we began to fight back against our Western opponents."
"There are simply too many examples like this. The super-large reducers used by cement companies are imported for 10 million yuan each, and are accompanied by various restrictions. If they are damaged, they must be stopped until Germany sends someone to repair them."
"Later, we made our own products in China, and Germany immediately lowered the price to 3 million, trying to squeeze us out. Later, we withstood the Germans' price offensive and fought back all the way, lowering the price to 2.5 million, 200,000. Ten thousand, 1.8 million, so the German company went bankrupt..."
"This is the origin of China's nickname, the crusher of developed countries."
After listening to Gao Yuan's words, everyone laughed together. Once any technology is mastered by China, it will immediately become a bargain. This is one of the reasons why the West hates China so much.
After a pause, Gao Yuan continued: "Time is on our side. Although the West has now gained a price advantage, in a short period of time, they will not be able to come up with polymer technology that is comparable to ours. Technology is the basis of competition. , and they are undoubtedly lagging behind in this regard.”
"Don't worry about them, just follow the established strategy and remain unchanged in the face of changes."
"Complete the battery plan as soon as possible. No matter what the opponent does, this time, we will fight Musk!"
Hahaha~
Everyone laughed, and Gao Yuan felt as if he had beaten the old master to death with random punches. No matter how Xiang Xi attacked, he planned to do it at his own pace.
When the whole world was waiting to see the battle between Dupont and Kunlun, Gao Yuan suddenly backhanded him and gave Michelin a knife.
Now it seems that this attack was really cruel, and it directly caused those arrogant French people to sell the company.
Now, using the same method, it will soon be the turn of the innocent Mr. Musk...
Gao Yuan looked at the time and said to Cao Feiyu and others: "Today is the May Day holiday. You don't plan to spend it in the company, right?"
Cao Feiyu nodded, "Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back, so I just work overtime. I see you have tidied up so neatly. Do you want to go home to see your uncle and aunt?"
Gao Yuan nodded, "My dad and mom thought there were too many people on May Day, so they ended their trip and went home early, and they even asked me to go on a blind date. The daughter of my dad's old comrade-in-arms is now attending college in Jiangnan. Anyway, I have to go home today. Go back or mom will be angry."
Cao Feiyu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Uncle and aunt are wise. Traveling during the holidays is really hard. In this case, you should go back quickly and say hello to them for me."
"Well, I'm leaving, see you later." Gao Yuan said, closing the door of the conference room.
I wipe it!
Blind date! ?
At this time, Cao Feiyu came to his senses and jumped up from his seat. The rest of the people also showed extremely shocked expressions.
"Just now, Mr. Gao said that he was going on a blind date?"
"It seems like this..."
"The daughter of his father's comrade?"
"Seems to be…"
In the conference room, everyone immediately exploded.
…
Gao Yuan walked into the company parking lot, looked at his father's old Accord that was more than ten years old, and then at a brand new white Audi A6L next to the Accord. In the end, he chose the latter.
After all, Gao Yuan is also a young man who loves to eat and play, and he has no bad taste in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. There is no reason to leave a good car and just drive the old one. With his current asset status, he does not have to pay for it. Buying a row of Ferraris for yourself is already considered frugal.
After returning home, Gao Yuan saw his father and mother arranging plants in the garden. Since buying this three-story villa, they have planted many flowers and plants in the yard.
They didn't dare to leave the plants to Plateau to take care of during this trip. They knew their son's character so well that he didn't even hold on to the soy sauce bottle when it was overturned.
In the company, he works as a hands-on shopkeeper, leaving all matters to Cao Feiyu. If Gao Yuan raises the plants in this yard, they are guaranteed to die neatly.
So during the month when I was away, my uncle and his wife from Gaoyuan drove here once a week to clean up the house, water the flowers and so on.
"What's going on with those flatbreads in the kitchen?"
"Is this the legendary Nang?"
"Everyone brings souvenirs with them when they travel. Why do you guys come back with a box of pancakes? There are so many, you can't even finish them in a month, right?"
"Mom? Where's your car? Why did you abandon your car when you went on a trip?"
Gao Yuan walked around the house, with question marks all over his forehead.
First of all, there is a large pile of naan in the restaurant, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a month. In order to facilitate storage, the naan has been air-dried. It makes a loud bang when you tap it with your fingers, and the hardness can be used as a shield.
Mother explained that the couple's tastes were relatively light. One or two meals of mutton skewers and the like were fine. However, after a long time, they still wanted to eat green vegetables and tofu. But my father liked the naan bread from the Western Regions very much. In addition, they also brought some nuts and nuts from the Western Regions. preserved fruit.
As for why I bought so many, it’s probably because I have money and am willful.
As for the Mini Countryman, my mother was very excited to drive it when she first went out, but as time went by, she got bored.
Because my father had been ill, the doctor told him not to drive, so my mother was tired from driving, and there was no one to replace her. After arriving in Gansu, my mother was so angry that she refused to drive, claiming that she felt like vomiting when she saw the steering wheel. .
If that's the case, then just do whatever you want with the money.
The parents abandoned the car in Gansu and took the train directly. When they arrived in the Western Regions, they chartered a Land Cruiser and asked the driver to drive them around to eat, drink and have fun.
"The driver Xiao Zheng has a good relationship in the Western Regions. Once we broke down halfway, he made a casual phone call, and within half an hour, three young men came directly and dragged us back without saying anything. In the city, they don't even charge money." My mother recalled as she said, "Next time we go to the Western Regions, we will rent Xiao Zheng's car. This Xiao Zheng charges fairly and is reliable."
Gao Yuan was speechless. Listening to the details, it seemed that he might be someone from the military.
Nowadays, Gao Yuan is used to it. There is always a black car parked at the company station, and he will be watched when he goes out. It seems that there is always a force in the dark, guarding him.
"Call Han Chang later. If it's really the military, thank them properly." Gao Yuan pondered.
"It's almost time. You go to the train station to pick up Xiaoyu." His father suddenly dropped the small shovel he was planting flowers in and said to Gao Yuan: "Gu Xiaoyu is the daughter of my comrade in the Western Regions. I met Lao Gu this time in the Western Regions. , I just heard about it. It happened to be May Day, the school was on holiday, and we were close to Hangzhou, so we invited her to our home."
The father spoke openly, as if he was the daughter receiving his comrades, without any other meaning.
On the contrary, her mother kept winking at Gao Yuan, "We have seen Xiao Yu's photo at your Uncle Gu's house, and it's so beautiful. I'll send the photo to you right now, and you can quickly go and get her back."
Didi didi~
WeChat rang a few times. Gao Yuan opened the photo sent by his mother and looked at it. Then he drove to the high-speed rail station, stopped the car, and walked to the exit of the station while watching the news.
