Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Of course Zhao Wenhao could afford two or three hundred thousand.

However, we will have to recruit more staff later, and the investment in raw materials will also increase a lot.

In this way, most of the cash he had on him was gone.

If any emergency occurs and there is no cash flow, we will be in trouble.

But the problem is that this is a strategic goal that the company has set long ago. It is not only for the production of hot water heaters and electric kettle accessories, but also for the preparation of producing water heaters in the future.

The production of hot pots and electric kettles is just an initial plan, and it is also an attempt to make money as quickly as possible while these items are not yet available in the market.

The production process of these products is not complicated and it is easy to imitate them.

Zhao Wenhao never thought about continuing this, and his ultimate direction was still to develop small household appliances.

"Never mind, do it!"

Zhao Wenhao shouted loudly and finally made up his mind.

Chen Weiye was shocked and hurriedly tried to stop it.

He didn't know how much money Zhao Wenhao had, but he had already inquired about it before. If he wanted to equip a full set of mechanical equipment, it would definitely not be less than 200,000.

According to his idea, the company could proceed step by step. They could first purchase the machinery needed to produce hot water heater accessories, and then, when the production was mature, they could start making electric kettle accessories.

This is also the best solution in terms of capital turnover.

Unfortunately, once Zhao Wenhao makes a decision, he will not change it easily.

Of course he knew that Chen Weiye's plan was better, but time was running out.

He wanted to produce more hot pots and electric kettles before anyone else could react and seize the market.

Once someone follows suit, it will take at least several months.

And this period of time is the best time for his development.

Chen Weiye was about to say something but was stopped by Zhao Wenhao.

"Engineer Chen, you're familiar with the technical aspects. You'll be responsible for purchasing the equipment, and I'll handle the funding. I only have one request: recruit workers to operate the equipment as soon as possible. Three months definitely won't be enough; I require proficiency within a month."

When Chen Weiye heard the request to limit it to two months, he immediately became anxious and said, "Boss Zhao, I can't do it. Please find someone else."

"Don't worry, just listen to me." Zhao Wenhao quickly comforted him, "Of course I know a novice won't be able to do it, but I'll give you the authority to recruit some skilled workers, and I'll relax the salary to whatever you think is appropriate.

I just don't believe that after spending real money, we can't find the relevant people to do the work."

Are there any skilled workers?

of course.

Most of these people work in various state-owned enterprises.

Zhao Wenhao has figured it out. Since they are racing against time to increase production capacity and reduce costs, they should not care about those trivial matters.

If poaching people with high salaries doesn’t work, there are still those old workers who have just retired who can be used to make use of their remaining energy!

As long as they're willing to come, we can let them take on a few apprentices. At worst, we can specify this in the contract, give them a certain allowance, and help them develop a team.

After some explanation, Chen Weiye finally understood the boss's courage.

To put it bluntly, it means exchanging money for time.

Of course, all of this needs to be based on good sales. If the subsequent sales are not ideal, these actions will only accelerate the company's retreat.

Chen Weiye left in a hurry. He needed to go back immediately to make a budget and related plans.

There is no way, Zhao Wenhao really doesn’t give him much time!

A few days later, the weather was sunny and the wind was gentle, and the investment promotion conference held by Hengyuan Electronics officially kicked off.

On this day, merchants from all over the province came in droves, a total of 326 people gathered together to discuss business opportunities.

Due to the large number of people, the originally planned conference room was obviously unable to accommodate such a large crowd.

Faced with this emergency, Zhao Wenhao thought for a moment and made a prompt decision to temporarily move the venue to the company's cafeteria.

Although the venue was a bit cramped, no one felt uncomfortable. Instead, this unique atmosphere added a sense of intimacy.

The cafeteria was crowded and bustling.

People were either sitting together chatting and laughing, or concentrating on studying the product information on the display stand.

More people want to demonstrate it themselves to understand its true performance.

Zhao Wenhao sent all the management and sales staff to communicate with various customers.

"This product heats up quickly, which is great! It heats up quickly and is very convenient. Most importantly, it is very cost-effective and can be used by almost every household." A customer praised the product while holding a sample.

"Yes, I read their introduction and tried it myself. It is indeed very practical." Another customer agreed.

At this moment, Zhao Wenhao is full of expectations for this investment promotion conference - it is very likely to bring rich results.

However, what surprised and delighted him even more was that at that moment, several customers expressed their willingness to place orders for a large number of products immediately without hesitation!

Faced with such sudden good news, Zhao Wenhao was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

He walked forward quickly, eager to have in-depth exchanges with these customers and discuss in detail the specific details of product purchases.

"Boss Zhao, something bad has happened!"

While Zhao Wenhao was still talking with everyone, Wang Changzheng walked over quickly and pulled Zhao Wenhao aside.

Zhao Wenhao was puzzled. He frowned and looked unhappy. "What's the matter? What's the big deal?"

"We don't have enough goods." Wang Changzheng quickly handed over a note.

Zhao Wenhao took it and looked at it carefully.

It was filled with the demands of various customers, and all added up, it was more than double the company's inventory.

"So many!" Zhao Wenhao sighed.

He expected that today's negotiation meeting would be very popular because he had been personally in the sales department in the past few days and answered most of the customers' calls.

But what was beyond his expectation was that some of the customers who had already requested to place orders would require such a large quantity.

And this is only a part of the people, the rest are still hesitating.

But according to this trend, the possibility of placing an order is estimated to be quite high.

"Never mind, let's sign a contract with them first. However, specify in the contract that all orders will be delivered in a 3:3:4 ratio. Don't set a rigid delivery cycle. If production can't keep up later, it will be our problem."

Zhao Wenhao acted decisively and made a decision immediately.

The company has recruited new staff, but these workers cannot start work immediately and still need some time of training.

Therefore, at present, production capacity is definitely not able to keep up.

We can only make certain adjustments to the supply ratio, and then increase recruitment efforts to catch up with production capacity as soon as possible.
