Chapter 215 Business Focus and Yang Zhiyuan's Urgent Telephone Call

After talking to Yang Yonghui on the phone, Li Xiaofan quickly called Wu Xiumei:

"Xiumei, I have some good news for you. Singapore NTUC FairPrice Cooperative just called and confirmed our qualifications as a qualified supplier! I will forward their inquiry email to you when I return to the office. Hurry up. Make a quotation. Then you can start the recruitment work. I will give you five places first. It’s best to major in English or foreign trade, and it doesn’t matter if you are a fresh graduate. We can slowly cultivate it ourselves. The key is to have good English skills, be reliable, and have good conduct. The salary can be higher than the industry average. You can do it within 20%! You can send the resume of the preliminary candidate to my email and let me review it for confirmation..."

"Okay, Director Li, I understand. Let me report to you. According to your instructions, I took two colleagues from the company to Guangzhou a few days ago to participate in the Spring Canton Fair. We gained a lot. We collected information about many suppliers. and information, including those within the province and outside the province..."

"Well, very good! If you have time, you can contact the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau and apply for a booth at the Autumn Canton Fair in the second half of the year. Our Yifan Industry and Trade Company will participate in the exhibition in the second half of the year and make a beautiful appearance on the stage!"

Li Xiaofan also remembered something and said to Wu Xiumei, "Xiumei, last night an American customer called us to inquire whether we can supply halogen lawn lamp products for villa courtyards. Do you know of any similar suppliers?"

"Yes. When I was at Tiandi International Trading Company, I purchased a batch of these halogen lawn lamps for American customers. The approximate power of this halogen lawn lamp is 1,000 watts. The outer shell is made of aluminum alloy die-casting and has relatively high strength. It is relatively durable, and the surface is treated with anti-corrosion paint. It has a high-brightness reflective aluminum bowl inside and is equipped with a halogen lamp. This halogen lawn lamp is dust-proof and waterproof and can be used on home villa lawns, garages, courtyards, and outdoor walls. Waiting for scene lighting to be used..."

"Yes, yes, it's exactly the same as what the customer said! Do we have a factory in Mingzhou that produces this kind of product?"

"Yes, there is a township enterprise in Qiuai, Yin County that started producing this product at the beginning of this year. Their factory's products are basically exported..."

"Great! Xiumei, please help me contact the automatic door factory in Mingzhou when you are free."

Wu Xiumei asked strangely: "Director Li, Mingzhou Automatic Door Factory is a state-owned factory under the Municipal Transportation Commission, specializing in the production of automatic doors and alarm products. Why contact them? Do we plan to do automatic door or alarm export business?"

"Haha, no!" Li Xiaofan laughed, "Xiumei, Mingzhou Automatic Door Factory's automatic door products and alarm products all use a passive infrared sensor. This passive infrared sensor can sense moving human body signals. Mine The idea is to combine this passive infrared sensor with a halogen lawn lamp, do you understand what I mean?”

"I still don't understand, what's the point of combining them?"

"Automatic sensing and energy saving! That is to say, only when the infrared sensor senses the presence of someone, the halogen lawn lamp in the courtyard or garage will be triggered to light up. Now Europe and the United States are vigorously promoting energy conservation and emission reduction. I believe this The product is sure to be popular! ”

This case of patented invention product of outdoor lawn halogen lamp plus infrared sensor was remembered by Li Xiaofan in his previous life after reading a report. In my memory, this product was not invented until 1996.

"Oh, I understand what you mean, Director Li. Do you mean to ask Mingzhou Automatic Door Factory to help us design and produce this infrared sensor product combined with halogen lawn lamps?"

"Yes! Xiumei, I thought about it. This time, you might as well recruit another technical talent in electronics and electrical appliances. It is best to have practical experience in factories, understand electronic circuit design, college degree or above, night university or radio and television It doesn’t matter if you are a college graduate, the key is to have real materials!”

"Well, I took note of it. Director Li, what kind of work will this technical talent be mainly responsible for in the future?"

"Xiumei, the current export profits of the plastic daily products business should be pretty good, but it is not a long-term solution. In the future, the competition will become more and more fierce, and the profits will become thinner and thinner. We must take precautions and quickly look for new business opportunities. I am currently under The next step is to develop electronic and electrical products Export business, the European and American markets are huge, and the technical barriers are high, requiring mandatory safety certification. Once we enter the European and American markets, the business will be very stable and the profits will be very high. After the company recruits new personnel, we will start! We must seize the opportunity to develop business in this area..."

Li Xiaofan continued: "Xiumei, please record it. The export electrical products we will focus on developing next are kitchenware, electric irons, gas stoves, hair dryers, microwave ovens, desktop electric fans, immersion heaters, electric tea kettles, rice cookers, There are about ten products such as vacuum cleaners. There is also the infrared sensor automatic outdoor lawn halogen lamp mentioned earlier. After the new technician is in place, it is best for our company to apply for the invention patent ourselves! "

"Okay, Director Li, I've written it all down."

After returning to the office, Li Xiaofan visited another ict testing equipment manufacturer, American Teradyne, in the afternoon. However, since there was no chance for Li Xiaofan to show off his skills this time, the conversation was not as smooth as that of HP in the morning. Li Xiaofan only exchanged business cards with their company's testing business manager to get acquainted, and left after chatting for a while. Did not achieve the desired effect.

But in the morning, Li Xiaofan had already opened a breakthrough with HP, the world's largest ICT testing equipment manufacturer, and the two parties reached an intention to cooperate in the next step.

So overall, Li Xiaofan feels that the results today are quite fruitful.

As long as he can cooperate with the global ICT test
