Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 541 Southern Market
In Duan Yun's plan, in the future, the labor service company's products will adopt a parallel development strategy of three grades of products, high, medium and low, using low and medium-end products to stabilize the basic market in the domestic market, and then develop new products to open up the international market.

This road will be very difficult, but Duan Yun must formulate the future development route of the factory in advance.

Duan Yun wanted to set up an office in Xiamen. The initial plan was to place 5 people there, find a reliable person to be the supervisor there, manage daily work and finances, and then transfer three people from the security department to be in charge of the office personnel funds and It is safe to buy equipment, and you can also hire three or four local people to facilitate local activities.

For an enterprise, setting up an office in another place is regarded as a strategic business unit, which can effectively understand and master the local knowledge culture, traditional consumer consumption habits and population conditions, and reduce and shorten the process and time of information transmission.

In this era without the Internet and mobile phones, the channels for information transmission are very limited, and an eye and a microphone that can feedback information in a timely manner are probably needed.

Duan Yun intends to rely on this office to realize his "ant moving" plan. In addition, Xiamen is relatively close to Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen Special Economic Zones. Duan Yun's office there is also convenient for the purchase of other materials and the promotion of the factory's products.

In addition, when Duan Yun goes on a business trip to the south in the future, he can also use this Xiamen office as a transit point, as a place to stay temporarily and find a place to live.

However, as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, the country is vigorously smuggling. Although it is certainly impossible to completely eradicate it, the situation will be very tense in a short time. Duan Yun is going to Xiamen to move ants at this time, and the risk is very high. You can go there in advance to set up an office.

Last time Duan Yun didn’t stay in Xiamen for a long time, he just walked around the urban area and didn’t choose a suitable place to set up an office, so this time Duan Yun plans to send someone on a business trip to Xiamen After a trip, ask him to find a relatively cheap house with convenient transportation, suitable for office work, and then Duan Yun will rent it first and use it as an office location.

The reason why Duan Yun didn’t choose to buy a house there was because he used the method of “ant moving” which was illegal. Duan Yun didn’t want to get involved in unnecessary troubles. In addition, one of his private offices will not be listed for the time being. , Temporary employment of some local people, generally speaking, they will not handle these things in the name of themselves and the company, after all, they are state-owned enterprises.

Duan Yun set up this office for another purpose, that is, a long-term "base" here in the south. Xiamen is located in the middle of Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. It is very convenient to travel between these three cities. Duan Yun will set up an electronics factory in the future. It is also necessary to collect market intelligence, purchase materials and sell products through this office.

In the final analysis, Shanxi’s geographical location at the beginning of the reform and opening up did not have any particularly good policies or geographical advantages other than being a key energy base of the country. If Duan Yun’s factory only developed in the surrounding area, it would not be big at all.

After having this plan, Duan Yun immediately found Zhao Changfeng.

Zhao Changfeng has now gained the trust of Duan Yun. He has often traveled to other places in the past few months, and he has made a lot of contributions to the factory. Duan Yun successfully trial-produced the "Longteng" gearbox and made great contributions.

It is precisely because Zhao Changfeng is capable and reliable in his work that Duan Yun plans to let Zhao Changfeng go to Xiamen this time to explore the road and find a suitable place to set up an office.

"Manager, are you looking for me?" Zhao Changfeng asked after knocking on the door and entering Duan Yun's office.

"Sit down." Duan Yun smiled and motioned Zhao Changfeng to sit down, got up and took a teacup, and poured him a glass of water.

"Thank you, Manager Duan." After Zhao Changfeng took the teacup from Duan Yun, he asked, "What can Manager Duan want from me?"

"It's like this. I want to set up an office in Xiamen. I have been to Xiamen before, but I didn't stay for too long. I feel that the geographical location is very good. It is very close to Guangzhou and Shanghai, and it is just across from Taiwan. If the products of our factory want to be sold to the southern market, it is best to set up an office in Xiamen.” Duan Yun paused, and then said: “I want you to take a trip to Xiamen this time. The local area will find me a house that is suitable for my office. The house should be near the street and can accommodate at least seven or eight people. If you want to install a phone there, it is more convenient to contact our factory. After you go to the local area, you can take a look, buy a map and mark it later, and bring it to me when you come back.”

"Okay, then I'll set off tomorrow!" Zhao Changfeng said bluntly.

"Also, I have one more thing to talk to you about..."

"whats the matter?"

"After our factory sets up an office in Xiamen in the future, I still need to send a person in charge of the office to be responsible for market research and sales in the south, as well as other temporary tasks in the factory. Of course, I will not treat you badly in terms of salary and subsidies. Yours..." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "How about it, think about it, if you don't want to work in other places for a long time, it doesn't matter, I will still reuse yours."

"Can you give me some time to think about this matter?" Zhao Changfeng said with a slight frown.

"Yes, you can go back and think about the matter of being the person in charge of the Xiamen office. Anyway, the office has not yet been established. I also know that you are dragging your family and leaving home for a long time. It will indeed affect you." Duan Yun nodded, and then said: "I think it's better to wait for you to come back from Xiamen on business this time before replying to me!"

People in the north love their families, especially the married employees of state-owned enterprises who have regular jobs these days.

However, Duan Yun has no suitable candidates at the moment. He has only a few core members he can trust. His two apprentices can also serve as the head of the office, but in terms of experience and ability to handle affairs, Dajun and Erhu are far behind. Zhao Changfeng, as for his brothers in the workshop, they are all young people with low education and do not have the ability to be independent.

"Okay, then I'll go back and think about it. I'm going to Xiamen on a business trip tomorrow, and I'll give you an answer when I get back!" Zhao Changfeng replied.

"Well, I'll issue you a certificate later, and you can buy a ticket tomorrow and take the train to Xiamen for a business trip." Duan Yun said.
