"In addition, each local dealer is also familiar with the local situation and can launch some special services according to the local situation.'
Han Songlin is not saying that you have to build your own sales network or anything.
After all, in China, no other car companies have done this, which proves that this approach will not work.
FAW once tried to build its own sales network, but it failed. And they lost a lot of money.
So, no one is doing it anymore.
Just focus on building cars.
Han Songlin nodded slightly, which was a tacit approval of not building its own sales network.
Indeed, a huge self-operated sales network is indeed too much trouble for a manufacturer.
As for setting up a sales company under Xinghai Group?
Han Songlin thought about it and gave up. After all, car sales are very different from retail.
'Now that Ruikang has disappeared, what are you going to do?'
Zhang Leping: 'We have already talked to the original dealers.'
Fuxing Industry already had a mature sales network nationwide.
Trucks and motorcycles.
Some dealers, with stronger capabilities, took over the sales of both trucks and motorcycles.
Weaker ones took over the sales of either trucks or motorcycles.
Generally, Fuxing Industry will cooperate with the previous dealers, and only if they are not interested in selling new products will Fuxing Industry find another dealer.
Of course, in a city, Fuxing Industry will generally find two or three dealers, so that if there is a problem with one dealer, it will not affect the sales of Fuxing Industry's products.
'They are all quite interested in selling Ruikang and Furei. Some dealers have already chosen new stores!' Zhang Leping said with a smile.
Fuxing Industrial requires that the dealers own the stores.
These dealers will be very grateful to Fuxing Industrial in the future. Although this requirement seems ridiculous, in the future, it has been proven that maintaining the stability of Fuxing Industrial dealers is very beneficial.
If the store is owned, there is no need to consider the rent of the store.
'What about advertising investment?'
Zhang Leping: 'Boss, for the time being, we will not invest in advertising due to production capacity.'
Han Songlin did not forcefully require that advertising investment must be carried out.
Zhang Leping has more say in business operations than Han Songlin.
'How is the research and development of Furey going?'
Zhang Leping: 'It is already undergoing final testing, and is expected to be ready for sale in June next year.'
'June?' Han Songlin ponders slightly, next year is almost here.
Wasn't this the year that Han Songlin had been looking forward to since 1997?
"Boss, boss?'
Han Songlin: 'Oh, never mind, go on and tell me about the rest of the company.'
'So tell me about trucks?'
Han Songlin motioned for Zhang Leping to go on.
'Our annual production of all types of trucks has reached 80,000, and this year we produced and sold a total of more than 60,000 trucks of all types.'
'More than 6,600 construction vehicles and 4,500 buses.'
Han Songlin was a little surprised by the sales of buses: 'Sales of buses were that high?'
I remember that last year, sales of buses were not very good.
'We have received a lot of orders for city buses and luxury coaches, mainly in the eastern region.'
Buses and luxury coaches!
The sales are in the eastern region.
Han Songlin seems to understand.
In terms of appearance and interior, Fuxing buses are not inferior to those imported ones; in fact, they look more high-end.
Fuxing Industry also sold buses to local dealers, together with trucks.
Many of these dealers were local tycoons, so they could help promote product sales.
Buses were different from trucks in that their main consumer groups were bus companies and passenger transport companies.
Han Songlin: 'What about Fuxing Motorcycle sales?'
'2.6 million, 1.2 million sold domestically, the rest all exported abroad.'
Han Songlin didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the report.
Fuxing Motorcycle is too important to Xinghai Group.
Fuxing Motorcycle sells motorcycles to Tiancheng Foreign Trade at an average price of 700 US dollars, and Tiancheng Foreign Trade then sells them to motorcycle dealers in Southeast Asia at an average price of 750 US dollars.
The motorcycle dealers sell them at an average price of 900 to 1,000 US dollars.
If you want someone to sell your cars for you, you have to make sure they can make a profit.
Seeing that Fuxing Industry has exported so many motorcycles, it must have made a lot of money, right?
In fact, they have not made much money at all. The total export value is barely one billion US dollars.
Han Songlin did some simple mental arithmetic and could only sigh, money in the 1990s was really hard to earn.
Suddenly, Han Songlin raised his eyebrows and said, 'This year, will Fuxing Industry's output value reach 50 billion?'
Zhang Leping laughed and said, '50 billion is not enough, 40 billion should be enough. Next year, we will definitely reach 50 billion.'
Next year, Fuxing Ruikang and Furuida Motors will contribute a large amount of output value.
After the meeting, Han Songlin went to the R&D side to have a look.
The R&D work of Furuida Motors can be said to be the focus of Fuxing Industry at the moment. With the factory building specially built for Furuida Motors nearing completion, the pressure on the R&D staff of Furuida Motors has become even greater.
No one is pushing them, but an invisible pressure is still bearing down on them.
Yang Zixing came with Han Songlin. Yang Zixing is not in charge of the research and development of Furuise, but as the chief research and development engineer of Fuxing Industry, the entire research and development of Fuxing Industry falls under Yang Zixing's jurisdiction.
Now Yang Zixing is gradually withdrawing from frontline research and development and moving into an administrative position.
According to Yang Zixing, he has already begun to fall behind the times.
Fuxing Industry has attracted too many outstanding talents, and among these people, there are many who can be called geniuses.
Fuxing Industry tries to give these geniuses as much room for growth as possible.
Geniuses should not be restricted.
When geniuses are restricted, they will still be reduced to mere mortals.
The whole country of Hua Guo does not know how many geniuses are killed every year; and the biggest executioner of geniuses is no one else, but often the parents.
'Boss, this is Xiong Molin, our chief engineer at Furi Motors.'
Han Songlin looked at Xiong Molin, who was wearing a white lab coat, and there was a rank on the chest of the white lab coat.
The job titles of the entire Xinghai Group are divided into ten major ranks and twenty-eight minor ranks.
There are ten ranks: black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, master, academician, head of the academy, and chief scientist. Each of these ranks is further divided into three sub-ranks.
If you want to know why there are things like in-game ranks, you have to ask Han Songlin.
