Chapter 123 Maozi, okay, let’s talk about feelings, right?

in the country, electric tricycles are naturally more economical, more affordable and more environmentally friendly than fuel tricycles.

But in Russia, the infrastructure is backward, and charging is far less convenient than refueling.

Not to mention that it is an oil-producing country, the oil price is much lower, and the area is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no need to worry about environmental issues.

The most important thing is that judging from the situation on the other side, these three-wheeled vehicles will most likely go to the battlefield, and the advantage of fuel vehicles' long cruising range will be infinitely magnified.

Sergei was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and asked in surprise: "My dear Davari, do you still have fuel money?"

Li Yunfei nodded and said confidently: "Of course, you can ask for it. If we can't do it, we lose."

The research and development of domestic three-wheeled vehicles is itself a transition from fuel to electric.

The Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory has a considerable amount of technical reserves for fuel vehicles, so there is certainly no problem in switching to fuel vehicles.

When doing business or being a person, even if you spend 70% of your time thinking about yourself, you must also spend 30% thinking about your customers.

Transsion, a relatively unknown mobile phone brand in China, has been very successful in Africa, occupying 60% of the market share.

It is because this phone is truly designed with African customers in mind, and just by relying on the eyes and teeth to locate and enhance exposure, allowing Africans to take pictures and see themselves clearly, it makes them invincible in Africa.

Li Yunfei has always agreed with this business model. Only by meeting people's urgent needs and thinking about what they think can we truly gain the trust of old customers.

Sergei was filled with emotion. He grabbed Li Yunfei's hand for a moment, not knowing what to say.

No wonder Rabbit has become the world's largest industrial power. Just this attitude towards customers is enough for domestic companies to learn for decades.

After being guaranteed two days to build a prototype car, the Russian delegation left the Warwick factory satisfied.

After Li Yunfei sent the people away, he turned around and looked at Zhao Ye and asked, "Old Zhao, these two days have been a bit difficult for everyone."

"But this is a matter of life and death for the factory. Do you have the confidence to do something?"

Zhao Ye immediately patted his chest and assured, "Director, don't worry about this. I will lead the team personally and work overtime 24 hours a day!"

"If I can't produce a prototype within 48 hours, I will voluntarily submit my resignation."

After he finished speaking, he took the experts to the factory's production workshop.

Li Yunfei stretched and yawned. He was in a bad mood and was about to go back to the office to take a nap.

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard about 24-hour overtime, many of them felt like they were torn apart on the spot.

Their filter for Li Yunfei was shattered once again.

"Vampires, inhumane. I thought 996 was the best in the world. Which factory is so brave that they actually have 24-hour overtime?"

"I originally thought that the factory director was different from other capitalists, but now it seems that I was wrong. He is really cruel."

"Please implement the eight-hour work system. We reject involution!"

"Overtime is not allowed to exceed 80 hours a month, anchor. You are breaking the law, do you know that?"

"Luckily I didn't go to the anchor's factory, otherwise I would have gone there alive but never returned."

Li Yunfei looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and couldn't help but frown.

All the factories under his name, regardless of their type, implement the same set of systems.

Including overtime. After I took over the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory, I have been carrying out system reforms for more than two months, and the overtime system is the top priority.

Why do netizens in the live broadcast room have stress reactions when talking about overtime? Are everyone’s lives so miserable when working overtime?

After he returned to the office, he took out the overtime system of the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory and explained: "Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just making a simple clarification here."

"None of the factories under my name have 996 or 007. All overtime is voluntary."

"We work overtime and are provided with free midnight snacks and dine-in meals, as well as free shuttle services. Of course, more importantly, we get triple pay for overtime." "And after three days of overtime, there is one day of mandatory rest. It's just that the factory had few orders before and there was no overtime opportunity, so no one knew about it."

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard about this overtime treatment, they immediately burst into tears.

“I thought the anchor was treating me like a beast of burden, but I never expected that I was the beast of burden!”

"Old employees of Huadun Factory said that they do have overtime, but they need to compete for overtime positions. Triple salary is really good, more than 100,000 yuan a month."

"Paying for overtime is not called overtime, that's called struggle. We work overtime until 12 o'clock this evening, our travel expenses are not reimbursed, and we don't have weekends off. This is called real overtime [angry]"

"How much? Hundreds of thousands a month for overtime? I worked so much overtime that I died suddenly. It's all because I'm unlucky."

"I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. The company is my home. The direction of the company's development is the goal of my life. Whether I work overtime or not, that's what I should do."

"I can already guess that in a few days, our boss will see this video of 007 working overtime and will use it to make us happy."

In less than two days, the prototype car was manufactured.

After Zhao Ye and his team completed the calculations, they also gave their own suggestions.

The production cost of each vehicle is US$1,500 and the suggested selling price is US$2,500.

Li Yunfei also sent the sales price to Sergey, and the two parties immediately agreed that they could formally sign the contract at noon that day after testing the car.

Inside the hotel.

Sergei looked at the price of twenty-five hundred U.S. dollars, scratched his hair, and then dialed the domestic satellite encrypted phone.

"Minister, the manufacturer asked us to go test the prototype at noon and then sign the contract."

"The price they offered for the modified car was $3,500 per car."

When Shaosigu heard the offer of US$3,500, his heart sank, but this price was still within his acceptable range.

After all, it is a modified model, so it is normal for the price to increase.

However, he still gave an order to Sergei: "Davri, the motherland has entrusted you with this glorious mission, and I hope you can do your best."

"I'll delegate the authority to you. You can do your best to negotiate the price of this three-wheeled troop carrier, but it would be best if you could bargain it down a bit."

"There is a traditional culture of bargaining over there. At most, we can talk to them about our feelings over a drink. They also appreciate it."

After Sergey hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As an experienced foreign trade officer in Russia, he naturally knew that when reporting to his superiors, he had to leave himself more wiggle room.

During these two days, he basically stayed in the production workshop of the Warwick factory and participated in the improvement of the prototype car throughout the process.

Sergey had no problem with the performance of the prototype car, and even the testing was just a process.

The most important thing at the moment is to sign the contract. Russians are not good at bargaining, but they have some experience in talking about feelings over a drink.

He took all the members of the Russian delegation, a total of twelve Russian men and five boxes of vodka, and set off for the Warwick factory.

When it comes to drinking, Russians are afraid of no one on the blue planet!
When Sergei was testing the prototype at the test site, Zhao Ye pulled Li Yunfei over and said in a low voice, "Director, when these old Russians came, they brought five boxes of vodka."

"They will sign the contract this afternoon, and I'm afraid they will compete with us over the wine table. If we can't drink more, we will inevitably lose the momentum and have to give in on the contract."

"There are twelve of them. Do you want me to find a dozen people who can hold their liquor for you?"

Li Yunfei listened to Zhao Ye's words, looked at Sergei with a smile, and then shook his head with confidence.

"No need, I have someone to block the drinking. I'm going to get these old Russians drunk today!"
