Someone glanced through the crack in the door and saw Li Wenjun skillfully riding a motorcycle in a circle inside.
Round and round.
Then it accelerated and turned twice. The wind blew off the hats of the people guarding the door.
"Slow down." Everyone was very scared, and finally someone couldn't help shouting.
Li Wenjun slowed down and stopped.
"Hey, it's okay."
"It's really okay."
As everyone said this, they all opened the door and went in.
Li Wenjun smiled and said: "It's quite easy to drive, but the controllability is still poor and the throttle is a bit loose, but it's better than I expected."
Everyone excitedly talked about it: "It's actually not that scary."
"Yes, it seems that Director Li rides quite easily."
"This thing is so flexible and more convenient than a car."
Liu Dongsheng climbed up: "Let me try."
He rode twice, braked suddenly, and then fell to the side uncontrollably.
Someone helped him up, and he was still laughing: "Hahaha, it's still about the focus. Do it!"
"What a lunatic."
Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.

"Wenjun Industrial" recruited a group of workers from outside and transferred people from various workshops to the motorcycle factory. The assembly line of motorcycles officially started production.
The first batch of 100 motorcycles were produced before the National Day, and the prototypes were put up for trial sale in Li Wenjun’s showroom next to the wholesale market and in department stores at the city and county levels.
I have to say that in order to make do with the engine and balance the center of gravity, the cool shape designed by Li Wenjun was changed in the later period. The cool shape was very strange, and the controllability was indeed not good. However, it is remarkable that a motorcycle can be produced so quickly.
Because this motorcycle is relatively small, it is priced at 600 and comes with a helmet.
It was sold out as soon as it came on the market.
Even "Wenjun Industrial"'s own employees have bought dozens of them. Because it just fills the gap between bicycles and cars.
Think about it, how convenient it is to have a motorcycle. It only takes ten minutes to go from the mining area to the county seat without having to wait.
And at this price, many people can still buy it with grit.
After all, the bicycles cost 200 each, and you still need a ticket.
The first batch of motorcycles sold well in the province, which gave the motorcycle factory confidence.
I still worked overtime to make motorcycles, and made two hundred units at once.
The motorcycle factory invited Li Wenjun and Tao Guangming to come over for a meeting to study future sales.
Li Wenjun sat down and smiled: "You are the main force, I will only listen today."
Everyone is very familiar with his operation. He was letting go and encouraging the management of the motorcycle factory to break away from dependence on him as soon as possible.
Guo Jianguang said: "After all, the provincial market is limited. I suggest that the second batch of motorcycles can be invested in car showrooms in other provinces."
Tao Guangming: "Okay. The car showroom will just be relocated, and the salespersons will be ready."
Liu Dongsheng said: "If the sales of small motorcycles are good, you can consider buying large motorcycles."
Guo Jianguang: "Okay, just concentrate on making the big motorcycle."
The three of them happily decided in a few words. Then seeing Li Wenjun not saying a word, Tao Guangming felt a little worried: This guy is bad. Maybe we see something wrong, but we hold back and say nothing, waiting for us to hit a wall.
He looked at Li Wenjun, narrowed his eyes and said, "Director Li, please say something."
Li Wenjun smiled: "It's very good. Just do as you say. But I have a small suggestion. Don't be so anxious to roll it out nationwide. Now try it in one city."
Guo Jianguang thought for a while: "That's true. After all, it's not as good as in Hunan Province in other provinces. Don't be so impatient. Then let's choose a key city and give it a try first."
Tao Guangming: "Let's take Haicheng. Haicheng has a large population and a lot of rich people. Haicheng's car sales are also the largest among several cities. And many people in Haicheng have bought "Wenjun Industrial" pagers machine, so we still have a certain mass base in Haicheng."
Li Wenjun was noncommittal.
Tao Guangming felt even more strange: This is not like Li Wenjun's style. When selling cars at that time, the publicity was overwhelming. And it is spread out in several big cities.
There must be something wrong with being so cautious and conservative this time.
Or do you have no confidence in your product? Afraid of failure?
I still don’t pay attention to this at all, so I don’t have any constructive opinions to offer.
-----
When Tao Guangming transported ten motorcycles to the showroom in Haicheng, he immediately discovered a problem: almost overnight, more than a dozen brands of motorcycles appeared in Haicheng.
What’s even more annoying is that these dozen brands come from different provinces and cities. It’s obvious that various provinces and cities are resisting Li Wenjun’s expansion.
This shows that everyone is afraid of Li Wenjun.
They had no way to copy walkie-talkies, pagers, and washing machines before, so they could only watch Li Wenjun make money and single-handedly raise taxes in Hunan Province.
When Li Wenjun was making cars, they were even more surprised. Unfortunately, the cost of building cars is too high, and the cost of trial and error is too high. Except for Li Wenjun, no one has the financial confidence to do it.
Now this motorcycle is different. The cost is only a few hundred yuan. If you think of a way, it can still be made.
Therefore, all provinces and cities are fully supporting their city's factories to manufacture motorcycles to compete with Li Wenjun.
The style and size of those motorcycles looked like they had dismantled the motorcycles of "Wenjun Industrial" and copied them one to one.
Forget it, the price of those motorcycles is still cheaper than the products of "Wenjun Industrial", only selling for 450.
Tao Guangming put the motorcycles in the showroom, but within a week, not a single one was sold.
Although other brand stores are not as grand as the sales of "Wenjun" motorcycles in Hunan Province before, they can still sell one in a week or less.
Tao Guangming went on a patrol and was very anxious. He ran back to Li Wenjun and the others for a meeting: "Think of a solution quickly. There are too many counterfeit goods. How about we lower the price, also to 450."
Guo Jianguang did not expect this situation to occur at all, and frowned and remained silent.
Li Wenjun said: "Don't panic. Don't care about the gains and losses of a city. The market is huge. Fighting a price war like this, killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand, is not a long-term solution. And counterfeiting is unavoidable. Let's put this If one brand dies, the next one will pop up again. We must believe in the power of our own brand. In the end, customers will come back to buy our products.”
Tao Guangming: "Only your employees can drink this chicken soup. I don't believe it. Motorcycles are not as high-tech as washing machines and walkie-talkies. They don't have circuit boards or control panels. It would be cheaper to just dismantle your motorcycle and copy it." , why do customers come back to buy from you.”
Li Wenjun asked: "What are our manufacturing costs?"
Tao Guangming said: "You said it was about four hundred. And I have calculated that including transportation, exhibition hall rental, labor, etc., the final cost of each unit will be at least four hundred and fifty."
