Feng Yu and the rest had just finished their lunch, and Secretary Zhao brought Feng Yu to look for Zhang Ruiqiang. At this time, Manager Zhao realized that this Feng Yu was not only rich, but he was also close to Mayor Zhang. Could he be the son of some Provincial Leader?
Thinking about this, Manager Zhao felt that he should not keep the extra food that Feng Yu had given him. He must send back some fruits and drinks to Feng Yu. He might not be able to let Feng Yu remember his good points, but he must not let Feng Yu remember his bad points. One word from Mayor Zhang, and his position would be changed.
"Mayor Zhang, why are you looking for me? Oh, you know Zhang Han? What does her family do? I don't think there are any leaders with the surname Zhang in the City. "Feng Yu was puzzled. He had thought for a long time, but he could not figure out who was Zhang Han's elder.
"City? Think up. "Zhang Ruiqiang hinted.
Think up? Then the Provincial Government? There were no suitable leaders with the surname Zhang. The leaders with the surname Zhang were either in their 50s or 30s. They could not be her father or grandfather.
Zhang Ruiqiang saw Feng Yu's puzzled face, and he joked: "What's wrong? You like Zhang Han? Her family specializes in catching hooligans. "
"Provincial Political and Legal Committee's Secretary, Police Chief Zhang? That's not right. Isn't that Boss Zhang in his 50s? "
Since Zhang Ruiqiang knew Zhang Han, then it should mean that her father or grandfather was a government official. If they were uncles or relatives, they should not be so close. But 50 years old was too old to be a father and too young to be a grandfather.
"Secretary Zhang had a daughter at an old age, and she is his only daughter. You really don't want to consider her? I can help you pull some strings. If you marry her, no matter if you're in politics or business in the future, you'll have a big backer. "
"Mayor Zhang, if you continue to say this, I will be leaving. Hurry up and tell me what you want. I still need to go back to play poker. "
Zhang Ruiqiang: "… …" From Feng Yu's tone, it seems that playing poker was the real business.
"You are a businessman, and you are smart. Can you help me think of a solution for our Bing City's tobacco factory?"
Tobacco factory? Solution? What's wrong with the tobacco factory?
"Mayor Zhang, I don't understand. The tobacco factory bought the Soviet Union's cigarette equipment from me every two years, and it is the time for them to expand their production. Why are you saying that the tobacco factory has problems with their production?"
Feng Yu remembered that in his previous life, Bing City's cigarettes were selling well at this time. At least, Bing City's cigarettes were selling well in the 3 provinces in the northeast.
But for some unknown reason, it became harder and harder to sell. Feng Yu guessed that the production efficiency was low, and the taste and brand awareness of the cigarettes were not well known. That was why they were slowly losing money.
"Our Bing City Tobacco Factory had been around for a long time, but the cigarettes we produce are still the lowest grade. We can't even sell them in the market. You don't know that some cigarette factories in the South can make a lot of money, and the taxes are not a small amount. Why is our Bing City's cigarette factory doing so badly? Are you saying it's a technical problem? Didn't I buy the Soviet cigarette equipment from you? Or did the city not pay enough attention to it? They also allocated quite a lot of money. "
This time, Zhang Ruiqiang had come to Beijing to find a way out for Bing City's cigarette factory. The factory cannot be in a half-dead state. It was losing money every year, and the city had to allocate funds every year. What will happen in the future?
Most of the restructured enterprises in the city were successful. But there were still some problems. The most serious problem was the tobacco factory.
Feng Yu replied: "Mayor Zhang, I can't do anything about this. The Soviet Union's cigarette equipment is more efficient than our factory's equipment. Furthermore, the original equipment was not wasted. I had sold it to Lin Province, and I did not make any profits from it. The reason why I did not give them the technologies was because the Soviet Union's cigarettes are different from ours. It is similar to Marlboro cigarettes. How many people like to smoke Marlboro cigarettes? "
"I am not saying that there is a problem with the equipment you are selling. I just want you to think of a way out. If the tobacco factory carries on like this, it will be finished in another 2 years."
Feng Yu was thinking about how to save the tobacco factory. Introduce higher priced cigarettes? This will not work. The higher-ups will stop the factory and might even punish him.
New cigarette flavors? If Bing City Tobacco Factory had the capabilities, they would have changed their products a long time ago.
Wait. There might be a way, but the City must agree to it first.
"Mayor Zhang, do you still remember how I sold my Tai Hua Premium Cooking Oil?"
"Humph! You still dare to mention this? You made everyone think that you are selling your cigarettes specially for our Foreign Trade Office. I had to explain to the leaders for half a day. We do not have any special cigarettes! What do you mean by this? "Zhang Ruiqiang was furious when he mentioned this.
Feng Yu smiled embarrassedly: "We can sell special cigarettes."
"What? Special cigarettes? What are you thinking? "
Feng Yu suddenly remembered that he had heard of a cigarette factory in Bing City in his previous life. It was specially sold to the Provincial leaders. He heard that the price was not high, but the taste was good. The production was very low, and it was not available in the market.
Feng Yu could not remember when he heard about this. But from Zhang Ruiqiang's reaction, it should not be available now.
"Mayor Zhang, calm down. Do you think the Tai Hua Premium Cooking Oil I sold last time is legal? "
"It's only soybean oil. Of course, it's legal. What's wrong?"
"Then why can't we market these cigarettes as special cigarettes? Is it illegal? I even think that we should print the words' Bing City Special Cigarettes' on the box. There should not be any other pictures. Let them guess. "
"Printing the words' Special Cigarettes' on the box will change the sales?" Zhang Ruiqiang does not believe Feng Yu.
"Of course! But I think the factory must have some new cigarette technologies. We can ask them to reduce the production of those low-grade cigarettes, especially those without filters. We will produce high-grade cigarettes. These 'Bing City Special Cigarettes' can be sold at the same price as Zhonghua cigarettes. It can even be 1 RMB higher than Zhonghua cigarettes. "
"1 RMB higher than Zhonghua cigarettes? Who will buy it? "Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes opened wide. Zhonghua cigarettes were Hua Xia's most expensive cigarettes.
"I am sure that people will buy it. I guess you will have this cigarette on your table soon." Feng Yu hinted.
Zhang Ruiqiang thought for a while and understood what Feng Yu was talking about. Gifts.
Feng Yu was trying to define this cigarette as a high-grade cigarette. Even if no one wants to smoke it, it will still be used as a gift.
This might work, but Zhang Ruiqiang felt that this was a bad idea.
But if they did not do this, the tobacco factory's business would deteriorate day by day. The City Government might not be able to manage the factory for long. When the time comes, the workers will not be able to pay their salaries, and they will have to look for the City Government.
Feng Yu continued to persuade Zhang Ruiqiang: "Look at Hongtashan. How did it become popular? It's because all levels of government used it as a special cigarette. Also, Zhonghua cigarettes were advertised as the leaders' favorite cigarette. What's wrong with our marketing? We can also let the factory's sales staff … … "
Zhang Ruiqiang was convinced by Feng Yu. He decided to report this to his leaders. For the sake of the factory's workers, he did not mind losing some face.
