Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

The three big leaders came to inspect again, and it was a surprise attack.

After a while, everyone held a meeting in the speaker factory office. Li Huaide, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, three big leaders, and Chang Hongjun who was completely out of spirit.

The three leaders first criticized Chang Hongjun severely, and then talked about Xu Damao's contribution to the speaker factory, as if they wanted to praise Xu Damao to the sky. But how could Xu Damao take their official words seriously?

It’s just that one plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy. Do you really think I can’t tell the difference?

So he said directly: "Leaders, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to flatter me like this. I, Xu Damao, cannot bear it."

The three senior leaders were stunned. They didn't expect Xu Damao to make such an opening speech.

They looked at each other, and finally the senior leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy (the one who cooked for Sha Zhu in 65) came forward to communicate with Xu Damao.

After all, Xu Damao, who works in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill, is considered an employee of their Metallurgical Department.

"Comrade Xu Damao, we also know that you have been wronged."

"We have discussed it and decided that this speaker factory needs you to lead it in order to develop normally."

"Comrade Chang Hongjun has been transferred back to the Ministry of Commerce. You will be the director of the speaker factory, and your administrative level will be adjusted to section chief."

"You have the final say in all matters and personnel relations at the speaker factory. I will give you 50 more workstations. What do you think?"

This was a solution that the three departments came up with after discussing it together, as they really couldn't hold on any longer.

At the end of February, the "Legendary Subwoofer" sold well and reaped the benefits. This was because many of China's equipment required foreign exchange to import, and foreign exchange reserves were insufficient. However, the "Legendary Subwoofer" could be directly linked to foreign exchange, and its importance was self-evident.

This means that whoever controls the speaker factory will have more foreign exchange to purchase imported equipment, so most of the three departments are so concerned about the speaker factory.

In March, they replaced him with Chang Hongjun, with the original intention of putting the factory under the control of three departments. However, as soon as Chang Hongjun and Chang Youliang took office, they angered Xu Damao, who simply quit. I thought this was a good thing, as people like Xu Damao were too difficult to control. Now that the factory has skilled workers and sales channels, it should be okay to copy them, right? It was better that Xu Damao left.

As a result, the situation got out of control for no apparent reason, and there was no way to find fault with Xu Damao. Because he had already paved the way for everything, and the technical patents were still available for you to use. Everything was agreed upon in advance, and there was a complete exit mechanism.

In March, a total of 3 pairs of speakers were returned, and 3000 pairs were returned - this was after Xu Damao's previous process was reused to improve the yield rate a little, and with the fat guy doing his best to repair them.

Only 30% were sold, and the other 70% were directly returned for refund. The head of the commercial department was heartbroken.

The cost was 23.5 yuan per unit because the previous process was restored later. The total manufacturing cost in March = 3*23.5*2 = 3000 yuan, unplanned material welfare + logistics + store rental and decoration, etc. 14.1 yuan, workers' wages, factory materials, electricity, etc. 3 yuan, so the total expenditure was 3 yuan;

The sales strategy was 8% off, so 900 pairs were sold for a total of 25.2 USD, equivalent to 65.9 RMB.

The net profit of 45.8 RMB is enough to celebrate with drums and gongs and firecrackers for a small workshop with a hundred people.

But Xu Damao's previous achievements were outstanding, so Chang Hongjun is not meritorious now, but guilty.

For the same quantity of goods, Xu Damao could have sold them for US$105 million, but Chang Hongjun could only sell them for US$25.2. This is his sin.

So the three major departments can't hold on any longer, and many of their plans are waiting for the US dollars earned here to provide them with a transfusion.

And the conditions offered this time can be said to be sincere.

Apart from other things, it is not the time of the strong wind yet, and all the promotions of cadres must be justified. In late December last year, Xu Damao was still an apprentice worker with a salary of 12 yuan. According to the "Provisional Regulations on the Duration of Apprenticeships and Living Allowances" issued in February 20, Xu Damao could not be transferred to a formal worker and receive the lowest salary of 58 until May 2.

But now, less than two months have passed, and he has become a deputy section-level cadre - with a salary of 2, and the three major departments are planning to directly promote him to the rank of section-level cadre - it's no different from riding a rocket.

But Xu Damao shook his head.

"Three leaders, let me be frank. If I take over, it will only be a temporary solution. The Red Star brand of speakers has been ruined because of Chang Hongjun's outrageous actions. It will be useless even if you make your products better. Users don't trust them, and the market doesn't recognize them. In the future, when people mention this style of speakers, they will think of the Red Star brand speakers that were returned that year."

"The Red Star brand has no chance of a comeback. It's already gone."

The three leaders frowned. "Is it that serious? Can't we just remake it according to your standards?"

Xu Damao didn't know how to explain it to these people: "I am building a brand, not just making speakers. If there is a problem with the brand, it won't make much sense even if I fix the product."

"Can't you just go back to being your legendary bass player?"

"The production cycle of this thing is only a few months. If I'm not mistaken, there should be pirated copies on the market, right?"

Xu Damao suddenly pointed out a fatal problem.

Several senior leaders kept silent. It was true. In mid-March, other types of imitations had already appeared on the market in Hong Kong. Some of them were even better than the Legendary Subwoofer, and the price was only US$3 a pair...

Under such circumstances, Red Star speakers had almost no power to fight back. A few days ago, Chang Hongjun even submitted a report, wanting to reduce the price of Red Star speakers to US$50 and start a price war.

I can only say that he thought too simply.

Seeing that several senior leaders remained silent, Xu Damao understood what they meant and stood up.

"Leaders, I can't do anything about this even if you ask me to help. I'd better go back and show the movie."

So, he went out directly regardless of everyone's attempts to persuade him to stay.

Are you kidding me? You've messed up the market and destroyed the brand value, and now you want me to come back and take over?

I only came back to take over this mess because I had nothing better to do.

In Xu Damao's original plan, the total sales volume of Legend subwoofer should be around 5000 pairs. If there are more pairs, this brand will not have much value.

Then, while others are pirating, you should develop the next generation of products and research and develop them towards small and home-use products.

If you are still pushing forward with the production of a product at this time, you must be mentally ill.

A price war?

What I, Xu Damao, want to earn is the money from foreigners. Not only will I not lower the price, I will even raise it!

So his thinking is completely different from these people, and there is no way to explain it to them, so they simply cannot work together because they have different ideas.

As for Chang Hongjun, he can either be locked in this speaker factory or withdraw and take the blame. This has nothing to do with Xu Damao.

After rejecting the three big leaders, Xu Damao felt relieved and went to flirt with Sha Zhu again. Then he took a leave in the afternoon and took Lou Xiao'e to the hospital for a checkup.

It's been more than 20 days now. Should the B-ultrasound be able to reveal something?

The moment he got the result, he was pregnant! Xu Damao was overjoyed...

But he suddenly asked the system, how many babies were pregnant this time?

【After testing, Lou Xiao'e was found to be pregnant with quadruplets, two boys and two girls.】

Xu Damao's eyes went dark and he fainted...
