Chapter 261 [Building an Exhibition Hall]
This day can be very exciting for Belsinger. Every few minutes, a new plastic product is produced. Of course, there will also be a lot of scrap rates in the production process, which is essential, no matter what kind of business you are doing. No matter what kind of product is produced, it is impossible for the product to pass 100% smoothly, and there will definitely be a scrap rate.
Bell's fixed scrap rate is 1%, but it may be because the machine is new and newly debugged. So the scrap rate actually reached 3.5%. After running in, the scrap rate can be controlled at about 1%. This is perfect, but it is a bit too much if the requirements are high.
When it got dark, the entire plastic products company's factory stopped, and everyone who walked out of the factory was sweating profusely. To be honest, the temperature in the talking room was too high, almost reaching about 32 degrees.
And there is a pungent smell in the air, if not for waiting to see with your own eyes how plastic products are produced. Belsinger would never step into the factory and stay for a day. He felt dizzy. He went back to the building materials practice. He recovered after spending a night and then drove to the industrial park and entered his president's office.
Then we invited all the brains over, and everyone discussed building an exhibition hall for plastic products for customers to select products. This exhibition hall is related to the strength of the Singer family. If the building is not beautiful and grand, it will be beautiful. It will give people the illusion that the strength of the Singh family is average, so it must be built tall and very beautiful.
But in this way, the investment will increase exponentially, but this is a matter of face. When it comes to product sales, you can't be careless. You have to hold your nose even if you don't have money. What's more, Belsinger's interest-free loan of 2 million US dollars has been disbursed, and now there is still more than 1.8 million left.
In addition, low-interest loans in rupees will be raised soon. There is no shortage of money in hand now, so Belsinger plans to get it done in one step. If we build a large one, the number of plastic products on display will exceed 1,500 commonly used products. No one has any objections to this. There is no output without investment.
The more money you invest now, the greater the benefits you will get in the future, but what kind of exhibition hall should you build? Everyone was in trouble and began to brainstorm ideas. The opinions put forward by some people were really unreliable, and they actually planned to build a Crystal Palace.
The exterior walls of all exhibition halls are made of tempered glass to create a modern exhibition hall. To be honest, although the Singh family is not short of money, they don't have that much money to waste on the exhibition hall. There are also more reliable opinions. For example, Marbury proposed a very good plan.
That's because the mine contracted by the Singh family reaches 500 square kilometers. How big is this area? It is equivalent to the total area of a small European country. The mountains are all covered with dense primeval forests, which contain an astonishing amount of wood and a large number of wild animals, including wild elephants and tigers.
Anyway, my property is very large and has many trees, so I might as well cut down some trees. Then build a two-story exhibition hall with a pure wooden structure. It looks very beautiful and tall, but the raw materials are all produced by ourselves and does not cost much. This opinion is quite pertinent.
The wood needed to build a two-story exhibition hall with an area of 10,000 square meters is only tens of thousands of square meters. The area that needs to be cut down does not exceed 1 square kilometer. Compared with the natural resources at hand, it is just a drop in the bucket. It saves money and is beautiful, so why not do it.
I support Bell's character, but building an exhibition hall out of wood is not an easy job. Ordinary construction teams simply do not have the ability to undertake this project, so they must go to a big city like Mumbai or Delhi to hire professionals to build and design the exhibition hall.
Since it was Vice President Marbury who put forward the opinion, it was not mentioned that only Marbury would be responsible for this task. We can't let Bell's boss make another long trip. Marbury went to these big cities to find professional construction companies to build exhibition halls. It is said that one thing does not bother two people.
Anyway, Marbury has decided to go on a business trip, so let's take care of another matter related to the life and death of the company. That is to recruit sales staff for the product factory, preferably college students, although these college students receive higher wages and commissions. But his knowledge reserve is there, and his vision is there to complete the sales task well. The more products he sells, the more money they make.
But you also have to make money, right? It’s a win-win situation, so why not. So Belsinger assigned Marbury another task that must be completed, which was to recruit a sales team of 30 college students. To find sales for the entire Xinge Group's products, the main product is plastic products.
Although it is said that you are recruiting sales personnel, the academic qualifications need to be within the range of college students, but how much fixed salary you give them needs to be discussed. If it's too little, people won't do it, but if it's too much, I'll suffer. In the end, after much discussion, everyone felt that 5,000 rupees a month was more appropriate.
This is just the basic salary. Whether the product is sold or not, the living expenses will be paid. The biggest income of the sales staff is commission. The commission set by Belsinger is 5%, which means that no matter how big a customer you find, even if you sell 10 million plates every month, I will give you a 5% commission. If you sell ten plates, I will also give you a 5% commission. This can encourage college students to move forward bravely and open up sales for the entire Singer family plastic factory.
Although the 5% commission is relatively small, it is a small profit but quick turnover. There is currently no large-scale plastic products company in India that has invested in production. The entire Indian market is in a blank period. Now is the best time to occupy the top of the mountain. If in a few years other plastic product factories spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, there will be more wolves and less meat.
If you want to occupy the market, you will spend a lot of money. Now is the blank period, the golden sales stage to lay out the entire sales network. It won't be long before the Singer family will grow into a behemoth. By then, it will not be that easy for anyone who wants to touch the Singer family. Unexpectedly, he was on a business trip, but he actually had two such important tasks, which made Marbury dumbfounded.
Of course, it is impossible for Belsinger to treat his deputy badly, let alone the vice president of his group. If you want a horse to run well, you have to feed it, so all the expenses for this business trip were borne by the Singh family. The standard set is that the hotel must have a three-star restaurant, and if it is a three-star hotel, there will be special expenses exceeding 100,000 rupees.
This 100,000 rupees is equivalent to pocket money. What does Marbury like? Buy something? Then when I came back, I found the old housekeeper to reimburse me. In fact, it's gratifying to speak so openly, but the stingy look of the old butler really makes people speechless. He spends more than 100 yuan in phone calls on you for repeated investigations.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
You have to make it clear how the money is used before I can reimburse you for the one hundred rupees. If you want to have a fun time, how much will it cost? Can the old housekeeper reimburse me? So Marbury knows. What Belsinger said was beautiful, but he couldn't do that, let alone spend public funds arbitrarily.
