Return To 1990

Chapter 708

After dinner, Lu Feng convened people from the overseas trade department to hold a meeting. At present, the overseas trade department of the group has more than 30 people, and the team is still relatively small. Lu Feng attaches great importance to this department, which is the future international marketing department.

If Jiafeng electronics opens branches in other countries, it will all belong to the international department. The current person in charge is a vice president of the marketing department.

The international market needs someone who knows international trade very well. Lu Feng's first thought is Su yourong. It's a pity that people like her can never use it for themselves.

In the conference room, Lu Feng looked at more than a dozen people in front of him and asked, "how's the contact with those companies in Xiangjiang? Has it been smoothed?"

"At present, there are already about the export direction. Although these companies are not very cooperative, especially when I go to talk, when I meet with those bosses, they... They scold you." the head of the international marketing department looked at Lu Feng awkwardly and said, "it's very impolite. Anyway, it's decided in the middle of swearing."

"Just decide and scold. In the list of export goods, VCDs, radios, tape recorders, televisions and household appliances are included. Let them find the market first, and then give the factory a list." Lu Feng said to the crowd: "My request to you is to track the international trade of goods this year. I can find out which country these goods are sold to, which company they are sold to, and how the local sales are."

"Our current export approval has been passed, but the quality standards of electronic products in the United States have been improved. Our original technical indicators of wipda can not meet the import standards, but the new TV sets have met the European standards."

"Other products have different standards. Some countries can go in, but some countries are not very good. They told me that most of the last batch of products were sold to Africa. At present, our products are generally in the international market."

Sure enough, it's Africa!

In the 1990s, Africa's GDP growth was fairly good. Some African countries were leaders in developing countries and had great consumption potential. Import and export restrictions were not as strict as those in developed countries. Even in the 1990s, some people were calling for the rise of Africa, but it was a pity that it was a flash in the pan.

Because the products are only in Africa, so many manufacturers compete for this market, and the sales volume is limited. Fortunately, Jinbao VCD is a little advanced and more competitive in the market.

"In the first half of this year, the main direction is to contact the companies that mainly buy our products in Africa, find new buyers all over the world, and urge the partners such as golden cube and beach group to vigorously develop new customers, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and ah San." Lu Feng ordered: "Expanding the market, especially the VCD industry, is a good breakthrough."

"Mr. Lu, we don't know much about some international situations, and there are many people..." the head of the international marketing department was embarrassed.

"In the past few months, expand your manpower. You can go to the talent reserve center to select some students of relevant majors for training, so that the personnel department can recruit some relevant practitioners. In addition, when you go to the partner company, pay more attention, and persuade them to work here if appropriate."

Lu Feng said to the crowd, "do you understand?"

They quickly said they understood that this is the consistent style of Jiafeng electronics. No matter who's corner, as long as this person has the ability, he can dig hard, and even subordinate companies sometimes dig people from each other.

"Let's do this first. Before the new year, it's best to go to the factory for the next batch of orders and take the first batch of goods in the spring." Lu Feng gave them a time line and stood up and said, "hurry up and get busy. Tell me what's going on the first time."

Lu Feng knows that at present, only the African market is open in the international market, and there are still barriers for other regions and countries in the Greater China circle.

After the meeting, Lu Feng asked about the production of the new vepda. Since November, the new vepda has been in mass production, and the marketing department has been doing relevant marketing work. In order to seize the Spring Festival market, the first batch of new products have been shipped, and ten provinces across the country will be on sale in ten days.

Back to the office, it was already more than 4:00 p.m. after sitting down for a few minutes, Liucheng knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the matter?" Lu Feng was half lying on the sofa, looking a little tired. He rubbed his temples with his hands and muttered, "I'll be tired sooner or later. None of you will stand alone."

"The main reason is that the development is too fast and talents can't keep up. If you don't develop international affairs this year, you won't be busy." Liucheng sat down and added some water to Lu Feng's water cup, saying: "there has been new progress in the Roma group."

"Is the price down?" Lu Feng squinted.

"That's not true, but we found the person in charge of Ruixin laboratory. Roma group assigned these idle assets of overseas R & D department to a department called overseas asset affairs department. This department is relatively idle, which is equivalent to an asset management office. We learned through some channels that they ask such a high price and may not want to sell them." Liucheng pondered: "This overseas asset affairs department is not the idle assets of the whole group, but the assets of overseas R & D companies."

"So, what do you want to say?" Lu Feng sat up straight and took a drink from his glass.

"We found out that there are few people in this department. There are only three idle assets left in hand. The working days are also very idle. Among them, this Ruixin laboratory is the most important asset. If it is sold, the Department may be banned and they will lose their jobs." Liucheng said to Lu Feng: "The people in this department are middle-aged women. If they lose their jobs, they can't find another job, so she doesn't want to sell."

"Is it a woman?" Lu Feng asked.

"Yes, this is a very small department. The person in charge is cangjing Jieyi. She is 35 years old. When she first worked, she worked in the Roma group and has worked for nearly ten years." Liucheng explained: "you may not understand that in their society, it is normal and stable to work until retirement, so she doesn't want to sell or lose her job."

"Such a big thing turns out to be stuck in a small supervisor, so we still have to find out and apply the right medicine to the case. This is called Bodo also......"

"Mr. Lu, not Bodo, but cangjing," Liucheng reminded.

"If there's too much space, she just wants to stay in this idle department. What does the senior management of Roma group mean?" Lu Feng asked, "is there anything to say about this price?"

"I called one of their vice presidents, and he told me that they didn't count the overseas assets. It mainly depends on the overseas assets department, and this laboratory really doesn't pay much attention to them. It belongs to marginal assets, just like... It's like the panda technology we bought before." Liucheng made a simple analogy.

"Can you take 50 million dollars?" Lu Feng came to the spirit.

"There should be no problem, but as soon as possible, the currency has depreciated by half a point recently." Liucheng clenched his hands, seemed a little anxious, and said, "I think it's best to get it done before the Chinese new year, otherwise the currency devaluation can't be carried. I heard that it may be 9:1 this year!"

It's not easy to exchange nine yuan for one piece, but the currency devalued sharply in 1994. Now the bank interest rate is very high, and the annualized rate is basically about 10% last year. Some local banks can even give the annualized rate to a high price of 18% in order to absorb deposits.

"If you really can't do it, find a consulting company and check the specific information. When the foreign exchange index comes down, I'll go." Lu Feng said seriously, "it's really fast. It's a long dream at night!"

The next day, the State Administration of foreign exchange contacted Shenzhen Municipal Administration and expressed support for supporting excellent enterprises and acquiring overseas core assets. In addition, other departments also called to praise enterprises such as Jiafeng electronics, hoping to make more local publicity, take Jiafeng electronics as an example, actively do R & D work and accumulate more patents in relevant fields.

A meeting was held early in the morning in the city. At more than 8 a.m., Vice Mayor Liu called Lu Feng's office in a hurry. The results were picked up by the Secretariat, saying that President Lu had not arrived at the company yet.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng just arrived at the office. A clerk came in and said, "President Lu, Vice Mayor Liu said he had something urgent for you. I hope you can call back."

"He called me?" Lu Feng hummed, "call again and say I'm in a meeting."

Then he walked out towards the door.

A meeting was held at 10:30 a.m. Lu Feng returned to the office to drink. As soon as he sat down, the phone rang.

"This is Lu Feng, who is this?" Lu Feng answered the phone.

"Brother Lu, you are so busy today. I called you several times..."

Lu Feng heard that it was Vice Mayor Liu and hung up the phone directly.

"Dududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududu.

"Who is it?" Lu Feng answered the phone and asked.

"It's me! Vice Mayor Liu, why did you hang up on me just now?" Vice Mayor Liu asked.

"Oh, you beat me just now? I thought who? One mouth is brother Lu's." Lu Feng said with a smile.

"Can't you hear my voice? Tell you what's the matter with brother Lu?" Vice Mayor Liu was a hundred uncomfortable, but he couldn't help it. Now there is a task above. Even if it depends on Lu Feng's face, he has to carry it out.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm a businessman. What I'm most afraid of is hearing people call me brother. When I hear these words, I either borrow money from me or ask me for money. Which side are you calling? Take the initiative to call me?" Lu Feng leaned back in his chair and said, "why? You're in charge of the Municipal Foreign Exchange Bureau today?"

Vice Mayor Liu's angry face on the other end of the phone is green!
