"Director, bad news. Bad news ~ ~ ~"
"Why are you shouting? Don't you know the rules?!" Bing City Machinery Factory's Director Li Mingde closed the newspaper and looked at Wang Aiguo.
"Director, bad news!"
"What happened? The Japanese are going to war again?" Li Mingde thought it was a joke. But this time, Wang Aiguo did not laugh. He picked up his teacup and enjoyed the tea. These tea leaves were given to him by the Deputy Mayor 2 days ago.
During the Autumn harvest, the Machinery Factory's sales had reached its peak, and he was praised by the Deputy Mayor. If he was lucky, he might even be transferred to the Machinery Industry Bureau as a leader next year.
"No, Director. Didn't you order the Machinery Factory to produce more agricultural machinery as a gift for National Day?" Feng Yu asked.
"That's right. What's wrong? Didn't I say during the meeting yesterday that our production had increased again? Are you still afraid that we do not have enough to sell? "
"It's not that we do not have enough to sell. We are not selling!" Wang Aiguo replied.
"What? We are not selling? How is this possible? This is the peak period of our sales every year. How come we are not selling? " Li Mingde was shocked. He had asked the factory to work overtime to produce. If the products couldn't be sold, not only would the National Day gift that the deputy mayor had promised would fail, but the factory would also be short of funds because of the serious backlog of products, and the workers' wages couldn't be guaranteed.
"I had contacted those distributors, but most of them said that they are not out of stock. Only a small number of them said that they want to buy more, but they want us to lower the prices."
"Not out of stock? Impossible! This year, our province's farming area had increased by a lot, and all the cities were responding to the Provincial Government's call to promote mechanized farming. How can they not be out of stock? "
"I had asked around. I heard that there is a batch of Soviet Union's agricultural machines in the market. Those distributors had all gone to buy the Soviet Union's goods. Those who can't buy the Soviet Union's goods are also waiting. Anyway, they are not buying our goods! "
"Soviet Union's agricultural machines? The prices should be much higher than ours. Could it be that expensive goods are selling better? "Li Mingde was confused. This should not be the case.
"Director, the Soviet Union's agricultural machines are not more expensive than ours. In fact, they are much cheaper. The retail prices are almost as cheap as Vaughan's wholesale prices! "
"The retail prices are almost as cheap as our wholesale prices? This is impossible! "
"It's true. Otherwise, those dealers would have asked us to lower our prices. Also, the Soviet Union's farming machines are more durable and imported. Now, no one is buying our farming machines! "
"Did you find out where they got the goods from?"
"I found out. It is a private company called Tai Hua Trading. The Wind and rain fans that were popular in Summer are from this company!"
"I got it. Go back to work. Try your best to sell this batch of farming tools before National Day!" Wang Yao said. After Wang Aiguo left, Li Mingde called the deputy director in charge of production and asked him to inform the workshop to stop production. The workers had been working hard for more than a month, and it was time to rest for a few days.
After Li Mingde gave his instructions, he asked his secretary to inform his driver. He wanted to make a trip to the City Government to complain to the leaders. This Tai Hua Trading was disrupting the market!
…
When the distributors heard that Tai Hua Trading had received another batch of Soviet Union's farming machines, they rushed over to Tai Hua Trading. This time, they had all learned their lesson and prepared cash. They had to be the first to pick up the goods!
The last batch of Soviet Union's farming machines were sold at a 10% markup as the retail price. The quality was better and more durable. These machines were imported, and the prices were much cheaper than Bing City's Machinery Factory. Within a week, all the goods were sold out!
Most of the farmers in the villages lived next to each other, and there was a strong herd mentality among the farmers. When a farmer bought a cheap and useful machine, the news would spread throughout the village and other farmers would follow suit.
For example, Feng Xingtai's family saw someone else buying a 55 tractor. It was easy to use and could make money. Feng Xingtai borrowed money to buy one!
Many of the people who came to Tai Hua Trading were disappointed when they heard that the cheap and good farming machines were sold out. The dealers were also anxious. If there were any more machines, who wouldn't want to sell? The more they sold, the more profits they would make. They called Tai Hua Trading every day to ask if there were any more machines and when the machines would arrive in Bing City.
But when these people arrived, they realized that there were more people coming to Tai Hua Trading than the previous time. All of them knew each other and knew that Tai Hua Trading had expanded their market in a few regions when they saw the newcomers.
What should they do? Could it be that there were not enough machines?
There were not enough machines, and everyone wanted to buy more. There was no need to worry about keeping these machines in their hands. Next Spring, they would surely sell another batch. Most importantly, these farming machines were selling well. No matter if it was Bing City's Machinery Factory or other state-owned factories, no one could outsell these Soviet farming machines!
Feng Yu also did not expect this. He was thinking that the Autumn harvest was almost over, and if he wanted to buy new farming machines, it would be before Spring next year. But he did not know that these dealers were willing to hold back their stocks. They were afraid that they would not be able to get these cheap and good farming machines in the future.
These dealers also ordered some planters, rotary tillers, sprinkler irrigation machines from Feng Yu. These machines were not used during the Autumn harvest. Feng Yu was only buying threshing machines, harvesters, etc. His thinking was too limited. As long as it was cheap and good quality, these dealers would buy it no matter when it was used!
Then what were they waiting for? Call and order again!
Kirilenko was also very surprised. He knew that the prices given to Feng Yu were very low and should be selling well. But he did not expect it to be so popular.
He had wrongly estimated the market price of farming machines, especially in Hua Xia. The prices were much higher than the Soviet Union's market, and the demand was much higher.
Once again, Kirilenko forged a document and took out a large backlog of agricultural machinery from those factories. This time, the quantity and variety were much higher, and the total value was almost 4 million Rubles.
If it were not for the fact that tractors were hard to transport, Feng Yu would still want to order a batch of tractors. There were also many dealers who wanted to order tractors.
These few days, Wu Chih-gang and the rest were very busy. They kept going around the province to contact more dealers to promote their Soviet Union farming machines.
After contacting the dealers in the province, they started to contact the dealers in Lin Province. Lin Province was not far from Bing City, and the transportation distance was about the same.
Feng Yu had told them that this month's bonus would be a pleasant surprise for them!
If you want the horse to run fast, you must feed the horse well!
Under the stimulation of money, this group of kids was like they had been injected with chicken blood, each more diligent than the other! Tai Hua Trading's reputation in the agricultural machinery dealers was getting higher and higher, and the orders were increasing.
But behind these booming sales, there was a hidden danger … …
