Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"No, you've misunderstood!"

Liu Aiguo waved his hand and said, "I am very satisfied with the quality of your factory's OEM products! I didn't come here for quality issues!"

"That is……"

Zhu Dong couldn't understand it.

Isn't it for the sake of quality?

What is that for?

Could it be...

Are they here to cut production capacity?

This is bad news!

Zhu Dong's expression instantly tensed up!

Their factory makes a lot of money manufacturing Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile (DPCA) vehicles; their net profit can reach several million yuan a month!

If they suddenly lose their OEM work, their factory won't be able to support its R&D efforts!

..

"Brother Aiguo... please tell me quickly! I'm getting impatient!"

Zhu Dong looked worried.

"Hehe, what are you thinking?"

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "I came here to ask if your factory can increase its OEM production output?"

"What? Increase OEM production? It wasn't a reduction in orders after all! That gave me quite a shock!"

Zhu Dong immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief!

As long as it's not a reduction in orders, it's fine!

By manufacturing for Shenlong Automobile, Zhu Dong has upgraded his watch to a luxury watch from Switzerland!

"Brother Aiguo! Just tell me! How much do you want to increase production? How about increasing monthly production by 50%? I'll have the workers work a few more shifts!"

Zhu Dong patted his chest and made a promise.

"Fifty percent? No, no, that's too little!"

Liu Aiguo shook his head: "I want this number!"

After saying that, Liu Aiguo raised one finger.

"Double? Hiss! That's a bit risky!"

Zhu Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath!

It's not that he doesn't want to earn more money, it's just that their factory also has its own cars!

If the increase is 50%, that's fine; the contract manufacturing workshop can just add a few more shifts.

but!

If it's to double, that would be a bit difficult!

They're bound to seize GAC Motor's own production lines!

Their new car is about to be launched!

All that's left is the final design!

If their production line were suddenly seized by someone else, Guangfa Automobile wouldn't be able to produce its own cars.

Chapter 299 Cooperation Negotiation Successful

This is a big deal for Guangfa Auto!

A matter of utmost importance concerning our future!

"Director Zhu!"

Liu Aiguo's expression turned serious, and he even changed his form of address: "To tell you the truth! Shenlong Motors' sales are booming! Ouzhou, Meizhou, Neon, they're all selling like hotcakes!"

"No matter how much is shipped over, it's immediately snatched up! There's simply not enough to meet the demand!"

"We're all from China! I won't lie to you! I want to make money off foreigners! And a lot of money at that!"

"If you can help me with this, I promise! I'll double the order price! What do you say?"

Liu Aiguo gave out a lot of money this time!

Order prices have doubled!

This is no small amount!

Previously, Guangfa Automobile would receive a contract fee of 10,000 yuan for each Shenlong car it manufactured.

After deducting workers' wages and various costs, Guangfa "457" cars can make a net profit of more than 3,000 yuan!

If Liu Aiguo were to pay an extra 10,000 yuan in order fees now, it would be equivalent to Guangfa Auto earning an extra 10,000 yuan!

The profit from manufacturing each car skyrocketed from the original three thousand yuan to thirteen thousand yuan!

This is a huge profit!

They earn more than they do selling cars themselves!

And it's an extremely profitable business!

We make as much profit as we manufacture for others!

You will absolutely not lose money!

Such a huge benefit excited not only Zhu Dong, but also the dozen or so experts in the conference room.

"Director Zhu! This is fantastic news!"

"If we could really make that much money, our factory's employee benefits would increase several times over!"

"Yes! Director Zhu, this is a very rare opportunity! You should consider it carefully!"

Everyone was anxious, fearing that Zhu Dong might do something rash!

To be honest, Zhu Dong is indeed tempted now!

He also admitted that Liu Aiguo's offer was high enough!

only……

"Mr. Liu! It's not that I don't want to earn this money, or that I don't want to help you! It's just that... our factory is also facing difficulties!"

Zhu Dong began speaking with a complicated expression, no longer calling him "Brother Aiguo," and started to seriously discuss the matter at hand.

"President Liu! Our factory's new car is almost in production! It's practically on its last legs! If we reduce our production capacity and give it all to your Shenlong Automobile, we won't be able to produce our new car! I've already prepared the launch event, but..."

Zhu Dong was truly in a difficult position!

Moreover, he is an ambitious person!

He swore he would make GFA Auto a top-tier brand!

Now, things have gotten worse; just as the new car was about to go into production, this happened.

If they don't help, Liu Aiguo will definitely feel uncomfortable, and he might stop the OEM orders one day, causing a significant decrease in their Guangfa Automobile's revenue.

If we help them, Guangfa Automobile's own production capacity will be in serious trouble!

Zhu Dong is now in a dilemma!

"Are you guys releasing a new car too? Can I take a look?"

Liu Aiguo was slightly surprised, and also expressed that he wanted to take a look!

It's worth noting that Liu Aiguo's request was rather outrageous.

For any manufacturer, new models must not be seen by outsiders to avoid leaks and being copied!

Even the experts in the conference room said the same thing.

"This...I'm afraid this isn't a good idea?"

"Mr. Liu, to be precise, you are our competitor..."

"Yes! Although you mainly promote electric vehicles, there will still be some references in terms of appearance. Maybe you shouldn't look at it?"

All the experts present expressed their opposition and were reluctant to let Liu Aiguo inspect the new car.

Zhu Dong was the only exception.

"Mr. Liu! If you'd like to see them, I'll bring the blueprints over right now so you can take a look!"

Zhu Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Aiguo, I believe in your character!"

"Okay, thanks! Let me take a look at the blueprints!"

Liu Aiguo nodded without saying anything more.

Liu Aiguo never liked to say too many polite words; he just needed to remember the favor in his heart.

Besides, it's not a bad thing for Liu Aiguo to look at their blueprints.
