Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

From the perspective of the company's development, neither producing hot water machines nor electric kettles is a long-term solution.

These products do not have much technical content. Zhao Wenhao is very clear that it will not be long before someone will imitate them.

At that time, it will be unrealistic to maintain such a high profit margin.

Therefore, it is imperative to develop other small household appliances.

The water heater was the company's first large-scale project.

If such a project is successful, the company will have a foothold for at least a few years to come.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao, our team will do our best!" Chen Weiye assured, patting his chest.

Whether for fame or profit, Chen Weiye is determined to complete this project.

Before Zhao Wenhao could say anything, Chen Weiye also put forward his own request, "Our current technical team is not yet sound enough. If the company wants to maintain its competitiveness in the long term, I think we need to continue to expand the technical team."

Zhao Wenhao was well aware of what Chen Weiye said.

In this regard, he has been trying to poach people from everywhere.

He went to Xuanzhou University to discuss technical issues with two professors. At that time, he asked them to introduce him to some technical talents.

Unfortunately, when everyone learned that Hengyuan Electronics was located in the remote Ping'an County, they immediately fell silent.

"Weiye, I'm planning to set up a research and development center in Xuanzhou. Our main research area will be small household appliances. This includes the water heaters we're currently working on, as well as the rice cookers we're planning to implement later."

If possible, I even plan to make breakthroughs in air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines."

Zhao Wenhao did not hide anything and finally revealed some of his ambitions to Chen Weiye.

As for why the R&D center was established in Xuanzhou, it is easy to understand. Xuanzhou is the capital of Huining Province and has inherent advantages in human resources.

If possible, Zhao Wenhao also plans to establish such R&D centers in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, Jinling, Jiangsu Province, and Shanghai in the future.

When Chen Weiye heard his boss's plan, he was immediately overwhelmed.

As the company's earliest veteran engineer, as long as he can keep up with the pace, he will definitely have a place in the blueprint drawn by the boss.

Of course, if Zhao Wenhao’s idea is followed, a large number of talents will be needed.

In this way, both the demand for funds and the source of talent will need to be planned in an overall manner.

Chen Weiye naturally would not consider the funding aspect, as that was Zhao Wenhao's responsibility; but in terms of recruiting talent, as the current acting chief engineer of Hengyuan Electronics, Chen Weiye would definitely have an obligation to do so.

"Mr. Zhao, I know what to do next. After I return from Guangdong Province, I will contact some of my former colleagues and friends. Please rest assured that I will not recruit anyone without technical skills.

But at the same time, I also need Mr. Zhao's support in all aspects, including funding, housing, etc., and ultimately I need a commitment."

Zhao Wenhao was very pleased. He stepped forward and patted Chen Weiye on the shoulder. "No problem. I will make specific arrangements for the funding. If we establish an R&D center in Xuanzhou, all kinds of logistical support will definitely be in place. Come on, let's create a new glory together!"

Chen Weiye left in a hurry.

Now he wishes he could split one minute into two parts.

Looking at Chen Weiye's receding back, Zhao Wenhao sighed, returned to his seat and lit a cigarette.

Easier said than done.

The investment in a R&D center is definitely not a small amount of money.

Even though Zhao Wenhao is now worth millions, he still doesn't dare to say that investing this money will definitely produce results.

Moreover, Hengyuan Electronics currently has nearly 500 employees. If it continues to expand production, it will have to continue recruiting people.

Although the labor cost in Ping'an County is not high, the daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of so many people is also a considerable expense.

If any problems arise in the middle and the funds are cut off, everything accumulated before will be wasted.

"Mr. Zhao, is it convenient now?"

Just when Zhao Wenhao was still thinking about the development of the company, a head popped in from the door of the office. It was Qin Cheng, the acting manager of the sales department.

"Is there something? Come in and tell me." Zhao Wenhao cleared his mind and waved towards the door.

Although Qin Cheng was young, he had a sharp mind. What was particularly admirable was that he was a keen learner, often visiting Zhao Wenhao privately to ask for advice on sales techniques.

Zhao Wenhao saw Qin Cheng's eagerness to learn, so he didn't take it for granted.

You should know that Zhao Wenhao himself was a salesman and had been engaged in various industries for many years. Later, when funds permitted, he founded his own company.

Therefore, teaching Qin Cheng is more than enough.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the sales script that we made according to your requirements. Please take a look." Qin Cheng walked into the office and handed over a small notebook in his hand.

"Okay, let me take a look." Zhao Wenhao took it and read it carefully. He didn't look up until a few minutes later. "The words are too vague and meaningless."

Qin Cheng was not discouraged, but looked at the boss in front of him eagerly.

This was the assignment Zhao Wenhao gave him, asking him to organize a set of sales scripts for future training of the sales department.

Qin Cheng had never done any of this before, so it was naturally impossible for him to satisfy his boss immediately.

As for Zhao Wenhao, his main purpose was not to let him do it immediately, but to let him experience it and have a clear idea of ​​it.

"I'll help you revise it and then give it to you."

Zhao Wenhao picked up a pen and began to make revisions on the notebook.

This change took more than half an hour. Zhao Wenhao seemed to have returned to the old days, reciting sales pitches and simulating scenarios every day.

"Take it and have another look."

Finally, the revision was completed and Zhao Wenhao handed it back.

"Remember, you must organize all sales to conduct simulated sales. And prepare multiple plans for different customers. You must reflect all the problems that customers can think of.

Only in this way can we answer questions fluently when facing customers, instead of being led around by the nose all the time."

Zhao Wenhao seemed to be interested and began to give Qin Cheng detailed instructions.

The sales department was about to be expanded and the company was about to enter the market outside the province. Zhao Wenhao could no longer do everything himself as before.

If he can have a sales team that is brave and hardworking, it will play a big role in the development of the company.
