Chapter 117: Entering Europe and America
Li Yunfei naturally had his own considerations for acquiring this agricultural vehicle factory.

The rural population has been greatly reduced and all the land has been contracted out.

The amount of land owned by individuals has undergone a qualitative change compared to decades ago.

With each person owning dozens or even hundreds of acres of land, the traditional intensive farming method must naturally be transformed into the mechanized production method of European and American farmers.

The current shrinking market for agricultural vehicles is definitely only a temporary difficulty, and better days are yet to come.

Although many people in the live broadcast room are not optimistic about the agricultural vehicle factory, there are so many people that some people want to give it a try.

The number of people interested in registering is as high as over 500.

He also selected an experienced general manager, Zhao Ye, for the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory from among those who came to register.

Zhao Ye was previously a sales manager for a joint venture car company. He has a perfect resume and strong personal abilities.

After retirement, I couldn't stay at home, but because of my age, it was difficult to find a job, so I sent my resume to Li Yunfei.

When the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory resumed production, the problem of unsold products reappeared.

This time, the problem of unsold products is more difficult than ever before.

Three months into the operation, the monthly losses became increasingly severe, causing Zhao to begin to doubt his life and even to consider resigning.

"Director, does our agricultural vehicle factory really have a future?"

In the general manager's office, Zhao Ye was smoking and said with a depressed look on his face.

The domestic market for this electric car has been blown away, but Warwick's products are not well-known and it is difficult to open up sales.

Although the factory manager promoted the product vigorously, after three months of sales, the factory's total sales volume did not exceed 100. If it continued like this, bankruptcy would only be a matter of time.

Li Yunfei glanced at the other party and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Zhao, what are you talking about?"

“As the saying goes, there are no factories without a future, only bosses who can’t find a way to sell their products.”

Zhao Ye put out the cigarette butt in his hand, lit up another one for himself, and complained, "Director, you've been looking for a market for three months. Where can you find it?"

"Director, please listen to my advice. Even if you have money, there is no need to spend it on this agricultural vehicle factory."

"It doesn't matter if this money-losing factory is gone. We should declare bankruptcy and sell the land and equipment as needed to stop the losses in time."

As the general manager in charge of the factory, he had already done the math.

If we stop now, the money from selling equipment elsewhere would be almost enough to pay the employees' severance pay.

Li Yunfei listened to Zhao Ye's mumbling and recalled the predicament he was in at the Huadun Factory at that time.

At that time, the situation of the Twin-Tailed Scorpion UAV was similar to that of the agricultural tricycle produced by the Warwick factory. Both were unable to enter the domestic market and the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy.

This scene seems to have happened again just like yesterday.

Thinking of this, he looked at the cigarettes that Zhao Ye had placed on the table. He took them, pulled out the last one, and lit it for himself.

"No, Director, you are a billionaire, is it appropriate for you to always smoke with me?"

When Zhao Ye saw that his last cigarette was gone, he immediately became anxious.

Li Yunfei smoked half a cigarette in one breath, then laughed and said comfortingly, "Old Zhao, why are you so anxious? I will give you a bonus when the factory makes money."

"Don't even mention one cigarette, I'll buy you a whole carload!"

Zhao Ye couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard the big promise Li Yunfei made for him.

As an old worker who has retired and returned to work, he has eaten countless such big cakes when he was working, but he has never seen any of them come true. Not to mention now that the Huawei factory is about to go bankrupt, and the factory director has to pay the employees' wages every month, so where does the money come from to pay bonuses?

This is clearly burning newspapers at the grave - just to fool the ghosts.

"Director, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"You say." Li Yunfei asked while sucking on his cigarette butt.

"This farm vehicle factory has no future, let's just forget about it. To be honest, I think it's better for me to work as a screwdriver in the factory than to be the general manager here."

"At least when I go to the factory to screw in screws, the factory director won't smoke with me!" Zhao Ye said.

Li Yunfei felt a little upset when he heard his words.

He sighed, looked at Zhao Ye, and said, "Old Zhao, you said that our domestic market is not going to be able to expand, so is there any future for the overseas market?"

"What? Agricultural tricycles are exported overseas. Director, I think we should just forget about it."

"Compared with the agricultural vehicles in the European and American markets, our three-wheeled vehicle is just like a toy. Let's not humiliate ourselves." Zhao Ye said with a smile.

He was previously in charge of sales at a joint venture car company and knew a thing or two about agricultural vehicles.

Agricultural vehicles in the European and American markets have been developed for more than a hundred years, and their market size and level of advancement are in no way inferior to those of sedans.

In terms of the market positioning of agricultural tricycles, it is similar to the Ford Raptor pickup truck. What is the comparison between the two?
Li Yunfei frowned as he listened to Zhao Ye's analysis and said, "Old Zhao, is the gap that big?"

"Our tricycle going to the overseas market is like a primary school student having a boxing match with a guy named Tai. Director, do you think we have a chance of winning?"

"Last name Ty, Tyson?"

Zhao also shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about Taro."

The corner of Li Yunfei's mouth twitched, but he still had high hopes for exporting agricultural tricycles overseas.

After all, one of their tricycles only costs US$600, and even with the shipping cost, it's less than US$2,000, and they don't need to be refueled, just charged.

If we can’t conquer the high-end market, then we’ll conquer the low-end market.

As the saying goes, the countryside surrounds the city and industries are gradually upgraded. How can one become a fat man in one bite?
The tricycles produced by the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory were eventually put into major overseas sales channels.

Bai Jing has been married to the United States for many years. Every Christmas, she starts to worry about how to prepare gifts.

The United States attaches great importance to Christmas. After all, the importance of Christmas there is almost the same as that of the Spring Festival.

Not only children, but all family members will exchange gifts and send blessings.

Bai Jing prepared Christmas gifts for her family early on, but she really didn't know what to give for her American father-in-law.

The retired old man from the United States had everything he needed and didn't have any special hobbies, which made her very distressed.

The gifts I gave in the past few years were all accepted politely by the other party, and then left unused and never used again.

Although her husband and American mother-in-law told her not to worry about it and that the thought was enough, she still wanted to choose a special gift this year.

For this reason, when Bai Jing has nothing to do these days, she will browse the American e-commerce platform Amazon to see if there are any suitable gifts.

Today, after she opened the e-commerce platform and refreshed it a few times, she saw Li Yunfei’s electric tricycle listed on Amazon.

She was shocked the first time she saw the electric tricycle.

If I am not mistaken, the full name of this thing should be agricultural tricycle. Are these tricycles now beginning to enter Europe and the United States?
