"Chairman, we now have a backlog of more than 20 orders. Urgent orders from the Middle East alone have now accumulated to more than 5,000 vehicles. In order to meet customer demand, we are working overtime now. Work in a hurry. However, due to the large volume of spare parts we have recently purchased, the prices of some spare parts have increased, and the cost of manufacturing bicycles will increase to a certain extent. Do you think we should communicate with DME to increase the purchase price appropriately? ”
Li Fanyu couldn't laugh or cry when he listened to Xu Sen's report.
He never expected that the Peshmerga model would cause an increase in the price of raw materials in Egypt.
What the hell...the competition is still so low,
If this was done domestically, such a big deal would definitely attract countless suppliers to kneel down and win the purchase order at a low price.
"Well, you go back first. The first thing now is to do a good job in production. I will discuss the price with DME later."
"Okay Chairman, I'll go back first!"
When Xu Sen went out, Li Fanyu picked up the phone and contacted Chris.
"Mr. Li! My best friend, so happy to hear your voice!"
Listening to the flattering voice on the phone, Li Fanyu resisted the urge to hang up and said, "Chris, I'm very distressed."
Feeling that his tone was unkind, Chris hurriedly accompanied him and carefully asked: "Mr. Li, what's the problem?"
Now that the Freedom Fighters have become famous after the Battle of Brahmaputra, they have become DME’s new cash cow. To Li Fanyu, Chris is like his son meeting his biological father.
This face is just like the fickleness of Western capitalists.
Li Fanyu sighed exaggeratedly, "Alas! Because of the increase in raw material prices here, the manufacturing cost of freedom fighters has increased a lot. Chris, if this continues, the purchase price will be 350,000 Egyptian pounds. But it’s not a good deal. Hey, it seems that the production speed is seriously lagging behind.”
"Mr. Li, please don't! All the urgent orders I'm giving you now are from customers you can't afford to offend... You must complete them on time!"
"But Chris, I am also very hurt when the price of raw materials rises..."
"Mr. Li, price is not a problem! As long as you can ensure that the order is completed on time, we will be responsible for the increase in raw material costs!"
"Oh? Chris, your generosity surprises me... By the way, how much is your external price for this order?"
"Um..."
Of course Chris would not tell him, and Li Fanyu, who had successfully transferred the costs, did not ask further questions.
Why not ask?
Because he thinks with his knees, he also knows that the profit here is definitely not small.
.......
Now through the Brahma-Boer War, freedom fighters have become famous in Africa and the Middle East, and have won the favor of various countries with underdeveloped military capabilities and some armed forces. The profit of the Freedom Fighters has now reached nearly 50% of the selling price. Without having to establish sales channels by himself, Li Fanyu is already satisfied with this profit.
Just yesterday, news came from China; it was told that Harbin Institute of Technology had completed the structural design of the new assembly line and had established a test production line in the industrial park.
The production lines of several models currently on sale in China have just undergone capacity upgrades.
So in Li Fanyu’s opinion, it’s time to move the Freedom Fighter car back to China and form a package with Hongguang to create a sacred car for third- and fourth-tier cities...
It just so happens that the R&D team has completed the research and development of the freedom fighters in Egypt, and various patents have been registered.
Although everything is not stable in Egypt yet, Li Fan knows the abilities of Xu Sen and others. With the capabilities of these people, it is only a matter of time before the production of the Freedom Fighter and Hongguang models is streamlined.
As a chairman, he couldn't stay here and not let go. So after taking care of DME, he asked Liu Qing to pack his things and prepare to return to China.
Three days later.
Amagi International Airport.
The autumn wind has come again, and before I know it, it has been one year and two months since Zhengxin was established.
"Ouch~~~~ I'll wipe it! It's already September and I still have big white legs! There's really no place as good as home!"
Breathing the cool yet warm air, looking at the fashionable and beautiful girls on the street. Liu Qing left the luggage on the ground and let out a wolf howl.
A girl who was passing by Shi Ran looked at a group of young guys who were as tanned as Song Xiaobao, and directly responded with "Sick!" and a big eye roll...
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Li Fanyu laughed: "Okay, Qingzi, you should go home and take a shower and make a facial mask. With your current dignity, don't scare the girl anymore."
"Shit! Brother Fan, I am making sacrifices for the group. You have to repay me for the facial mask!"
"Screw you, stop talking nonsense to me! Hurry home and clean up, and come to work for me tomorrow!"
"It's inhumane!" Liu Qing and others wailed when they heard that Li Fanyu didn't give him a day off.
There is a reason why Li Fanyu is so anxious.
Although the freedom fighters have achieved certain results in Egypt, the domestic market cannot be underestimated. Currently, the production of this model is entirely in Egypt, and there is no domestic production, resulting in heavy reliance on local parts and raw materials. But if production is also established domestically, then we can rely on industrial parks to provide high-tech and lower-priced spare parts compared to Egypt.
And as early as when the F150 was selling well in the United States, domestic groups had calls for localizing the F150.
But Li Fanyu knew that it would be difficult for the F150 to adapt to the Chinese market.
Whether it is a V6, V8 or V10 engine, the displacement and fuel consumption are too large for the Chinese market. The low oil prices in the United States allow ordinary consumers to bear the burden of high fuel consumption. But if we want to meet the demand for pickup trucks in the Chinese market, it is obvious that the F150 is not qualified.
This has been fully verified in the time and space before Li Fanyu.
It is undeniable that in the previous time and space, the price of F150 imported to China was exaggeratedly high due to its large displacement. But from another perspective, even if Li Fanyu now makes the F150 domestically, even if he controls the price of the vehicle to around 150,000, it will still be difficult to sell in China.
Why?
If nothing else, with the fuel consumption of 15 or 6 liters per 100 kilometers for both V6 and V8 engines, this is destined to be a niche model that can only satisfy a small number of people, rather than a model that can benefit the general public.
But the freedom fighter, Hilux, is different.
If this car is replaced with the ZGX series engine widely used in the Zhengxin product line, and then the performance is appropriately fine-tuned, and a few comfort features are added, it can become a snake oil model!
