Chapter 451 Boiling the Frog to Death in Warm Water
The process between Liu Dayong and Gu Ye was smoother. Facts have proved that although Liu Dayong does not know much about technology, he is undoubtedly a very good salesman.
But the more important thing is of course that the quality of the TV sets coming out of the factory is good in all aspects, so in addition to the initial need for Liu Dayong and his cousins and nephews to sell them in the electrical appliance department of every household and shopping mall, after a batch of goods are sold, In the following days, buyers almost came to the door themselves.
The spare parts were managed by Wang Mazi and Xie Laoliu. While ensuring quality, the production volume reached more than [-] units a day, and the machines installed them better than those installed by humans.
In addition, Gu Ye's three-month after-sales service model of only replacing and not repairing has also attracted many people. In the past few months, only a handful of TVs have broken down. Before, Liu Dayong was worried about whether someone would destroy their TVs themselves. There has never been a case of deliberately breaking it and then replacing it with a new one.
After all, who would be so bored as to do such a thing?The TV is still new after three months, who would be willing to break it?
Furthermore, although it was only replacement but not repair, Gu Ye also set some standards. Others were not strict. The most strict one was the issue of time.
First, it needs to be checked for any man-made damage, and then it can be replaced only after approval, which can take anywhere from one week to three months.
But in fact, during normal operation, Gu Ye would deliver the new TV a week later. How could he have time to check whether there was any man-made damage?They're all just trying to trick people.
It's just that many people stop at the first step. People who do bad things are also modest. Some people wonder what if it is found to be man-made damage?Isn’t that a good TV useless?
In this way, the order has been received in October, and only the supply exceeds the demand. There is no reason why it cannot be sold and shipped. Employees in the factory are recruited in batches. After the first quarter is over, Liu Dayong I started discussing with Gu Ye about allocating funds to build a new factory.
"These people are going too far! Looking at our good profits, the rent has actually quadrupled! And it's not based on our current five-year lease. We have to renew the contract year by year. Who doesn't know that they just want to Prices increase every year?!”
Liu Dayong originally just went to ask, but this question made him angry. However, when facing the group of locals, he was still kind and calm. When he came back, he couldn't bear it anymore.
It is now the lunch break, and Gu Ye is sleeping in his office. He is not doing the assembly line now, but is solely responsible for the quality inspection of the products. It sounds easy, but it is a tiring job.
Gu Ye was not impatient when he heard Liu Dayong's complaints. He sat up from the sofa and returned to his desk. Gu Ye took out a map from the drawer and said, "We can build a second factory."
Liu Dayong originally poured himself a glass of water, but seeing Gu Ye's skillful appearance, which seemed to have expected this, he almost spit out the water, "Is there anything wrong? You have been prepared for a long time. Already?!"
Gu Ye did not deny it, but instead asked a little funny: "If you are a local here and this land is yours, will you increase the price? The price increase is definitely inevitable."
Liu Dayong thought about it and felt that what Gu Ye said seemed to be right, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart: "But four times the increase all at once is too much, right? And the land we want to rent is larger, four times is enough." The difference is more than 1 yuan a month!"
Gu Ye said calmly: "So they are stupid. If they double the half-year rent, wouldn't you sign it willingly? A four-fold increase will only take one year."
"That's right! I can accept it even if it's twice as much as what we are now!" Liu Dayong still didn't understand the meaning of Gu Ye's words clearly, and continued to say angrily: "It's not like they don't know what they are doing. If we weren't renting this place, Even if they leave it here for five years, no one will want it! Wasn't it just an empty factory before we rented it? That means we are so good, the last factory that opened a factory to such a remote location was already gone!"
"Being born in the midst of blessings and not knowing the blessings is bad luck!"
Gu Ye looked at Liu Dayong several times like he was a fool, and then sighed, "Sooner or later, you will boil a frog in warm water and boil him to death."
"When I rented this place to you, you were eager to rent it. I asked about it and found that the price was already on the high side. What's a little better is that you signed it for five years in one go. There is a contract..."
Gu Ye's tone suddenly paused, "However, even if they only double the price, they can't rent it."
Liu Dayong asked almost subconsciously: "Why?"
Gu Ye showed the map to Liu Dayong: "Look at our current location. Although it is far away from Shenzhen City, it is surrounded by the sea and has abundant material resources. Secondly, the nearby roads are also well built."
Liu Dayong watched and nodded seriously, "Yes, I chose this place because of the convenient transportation. There are three roads, and each road can enter the city."
Gu Ye said: "So it is only a matter of time before this area is expropriated by the government, maybe in the next few years."
After speaking, Gu Ye took out a stack of newspapers and gave them to Liu Dayong. These were all about the government's land resources sector that he had left behind.
Liu Dayong was shocked by what Gu Ye compiled. He knew that Gu Ye loved to read newspapers and watch the news, but he never thought that he could really see something from it.
However, Gu Ye's serious look made Liu Dayong put away his surprise and took the newspaper and read it.
This time, I really saw something.
The first thing is about land expropriation. It is really done step by step from the inside out. In recent years, the officials have been boiling frogs in warm water. Some sections even occupy a small area of the newspaper, and even write a long paragraph that is useless. All the text, except for the useful ones at the end, were drawn by Gu Ye.
Gu Ye watched Liu Dayong's expression become serious step by step and spoke: "We are tenants, and our rights and interests are not guaranteed. If the land is really expropriated by the government and bought back from the locals, We will have to move out immediately, and if we do expand in this place, our losses will be huge by then.”
Liu Dayong had to admit this, "Indeed, if we want to expand, we have to build a new factory ourselves. The establishment of a new factory requires a lot of time and money, and even a lot of personnel investment. If it is expropriated, it will be expropriated. I guess those people won’t consider us either.”
A piece of land of 100 square meters costs at least [-] million here. This is a huge sum of money. Liu Dayong does not believe that those people will not sell it.
And although they will be the party who breaches the contract, the amount of compensation is just some rent, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to the loss.
Liu Dayong said almost subconsciously: "What if we buy the land? Then we don't have to worry about expropriation or not, let alone the rent."
Gu Ye smiled, "Our factory covers an area of [-] square meters. First think about how much money you want. Also, when you just negotiated the rent, they were so aggressive with you. Then think about how much money they will get." sell to you."
Liu Dayong didn't say anything but returned it. He clenched his back teeth and finally asked: "Then where did you want to tell me at the beginning to rent land to set up a factory?"
In fact, Liu Dayong really doesn't want to move away. First of all, it's because he has special feelings for this place. After all, this is where they started. If possible, he really wants to stay here for the rest of his life.
The second is that the transportation here is really convenient, which invisibly saves them a lot of costs, so this is also the reason why Liu Dayong can accept the rent increase.
It's just that the price shouldn't have increased so much.
