In the face of the shrinking global economy, the current severe economic situation, and fierce market competition, many developing companies have been pushed to the forefront. Only by working hard and deepening cost management can companies survive and seek development, otherwise they will face The danger of being eliminated.
In 2014, the company bucked the trend and completed an output value of 0.459 billion yuan for the whole year, achieving good results. In 2015, the company established the target of completing the output value of 0.5 billion yuan. Facing the gratifying situation of the company, Chairman Shen Peiliang is not blindly optimistic, but calmly and carefully puts forward clear requirements for the whole year's work tasks: in the environment of fierce market competition, especially in the same industry with strong competitors (all large state-owned enterprises) and strong strength, so we should develop our own marketing ideas: you have my products, you have good quality but I have better quality, your price is cheaper and I am cheaper than you (this requires us to have excellent internal skills to control costs). If you serve well, I am more comprehensive than you and can make customers truly satisfied. To implement "differentiated marketing ideas" throughout the company, it is necessary to reduce and control cost management to the best effect with high-end products and high-quality services, so as to ensure that our company occupies a dominant position in the supply chain of upstream customers.
