Reborn I want everything

Chapter 55 Treat it as Accumulating Virtue

In order to lay out a low-cost plan for disrupting Essilor and Haichang Glasses in the future, Gu Zhe naturally thought that if he wanted to open a contact lens online store in the future, he would be the first batch of Taobao store testers next year.

Of course, Gu Zhe would definitely not give up opening a store on eBay, which has appeared in 02 and is operating on a small scale, when the need arises.

Anyway, the rise and fall of Taobao and eBay platforms in the future has nothing to do with Gu Zhe, he just takes advantage of the platforms.

However, Taobao did not appear until May 2003. It is said that it has something to do with SARS. At the end of February and the beginning of March of that year, many people in Ali Baba were quarantined because of the plague. After learning from the pain, they decided to accelerate the layout of consumer e-commerce, and then launched two It came out in a month, but the website itself doesn't have much technical content.

Recalling these historical knowledge, Gu Zhe naturally wanted to speed up the process for his own use and gain some insignificant benefits by the way.

Gu Zhe's first thought was to find a few coders, write some basic code for the shopping website project first, and then find a suitable time to pay a few times the premium——

Now that eBay has made some progress, the technical content of the online shopping website is really not high, it is nothing more than a lot of manual work when rushing for time.

In the end, the key to success lies in operations rather than technology, so the code itself is really worthless.

Gu Zhe thought of this at the time, so he immediately approached Liu Kai, who had been doing nothing but studying at ease recently, and discussed with him whether he could find a few seniors with good skills in the computer academy. It costs [-] yuan and takes a month to write a little basic code.

Liu Kai helped Gu Zhe write a script for crawling email addresses and an automatic posting machine for sending emails during the summer vacation before, but it was left unused after that, and Gu Zhe had no new plans to ask him to cooperate.

Seeing that several other old classmates are hanging out with Gu Ge, earning a little money and learning some skills, Liu Kai is still very anxious.This time, Gu Zhe finally approached him again. After evaluating it, he said that he might not be able to handle it himself, but if he added a little more people, and found some seniors who were good at website development in the senior year of job hunting, he could still make a difference. .

Gu Zhe immediately said that he could give a budget of ten thousand and eight thousand first, and then treat it as hiring someone to do private work.If there are other circumstances in the future, it can be calculated separately.

Gu Zhe didn't expect to write a complete website directly, but when Ari Baba wants to start an e-commerce business in early March next year, he will find an excuse to sell these fragmentary source codes, and do whatever he can. .It's easy to sell for one hundred and eighty thousand——

Although these codes can be easily written by Ali's programmers, they are worthless in themselves.But as long as it is placed on a key node, it can help the other party save ten days and a half a month, and the other party will not be stingy with the money for the progress of the online.

It can also be used as a link to get more e-commerce promotion resources in the future, helping Gu Zhe to better disrupt Essilor and Haichang.

……

After doing all this, Gu Zhe's plan before the winter vacation is completely finished.

Finally, there are a few days of final exams, when I finish the exam with nervous nerves and wait for the results.

Because the career took up more energy, and the basic knowledge learned in the previous life gradually entered the deep water area, Gu Zhe's final exam scores and class rankings both declined compared to midterm.

Several courses have been reduced to a score of only 70, and the exam papers are not very difficult, and there are no strange questions.It is all due to the fast teaching progress and superficial teaching, and no one has time to dig in and review carefully, which leads to the fact that no one gets a very high score.

Even so, Gu Zhe's ranking has dropped from fifth in the class in the midterm to eighth in the class—according to this trend, in the first semester of freshman year, Gu Zhe's paper score ranking will definitely fall to the top of the class More than a dozen people left.

Of course, considering that there are 60 students in a class, Gu Zhe can at least guarantee that the first third is still stable.

After the sophomore year, the comprehensive general education is over, and you can start to choose courses freely. Gu Zhe can choose more material chemistry courses that he has learned in his previous life, and spend the least amount of energy to collect credits.

Therefore, the freshman semester is probably the most difficult semester of the entire undergraduate period, and it will be easy to get through it.

Fortunately, even though the score fell to eighth this time, Li Senran, Feng Tao and others had already questioned whether Gu Zhe could continue to receive the Qiu Chengtong scholarship next semester, and in the end they were slapped in the face by Gu Zhe's academic achievements So no one jumped out to question this time.

Especially when everyone saw the two review articles on the contact lens material industry written by the first author Gu Zhe in the "Journal of Tunghai University (English Series A)", everyone was completely convinced, why bother to humiliate themselves.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

On Lu Youyou's side, since the deep chat with Gu Zhe before Christmas Eve, she also pondered Gu Zhe's suggestion every day after returning to school, and finally called home many times before the end of the month, trying to persuade her mother to accept the technological transformation Upgraded plan:

"Mom, I recently had a private chat with many experts and professors from the Academy of Chemical Sciences of our school, and listened to a lot of professional opinions. I sent an email for the specific analysis content, you can take a look.

I think that among the several technical upgrading routes that Dad investigated before he was hospitalized, polypropylene melt-blown non-woven fabrics are good.In this way, there is no need to worry about Zhenyang Refining and Chemical Director Chen being stuck with our DMT follow-up expansion and supply.

Dad didn't always say that the kind of business that fights price wars and fights for cost really has no future.Now we have Tong Kun intercepting and Shen Zhou chasing after us, so let's just jump out, the original production capacity is enough to maintain the status quo. "

Lu Youyou told a white lie, and she didn't say that this opinion came from Gu Zhe, she only said that she consulted many experts and professors, trying to increase her credibility with her mother.

His mother, Zhu Yingying, is able to control the company's day-to-day operations, but she really doesn't have the slightest strategic foresight. She always feels that the matter is too big to make a hasty decision, and that Lu Youyou must wait for the final exam and come back from winter vacation. Then consider the long term.Lu Jinming should be officially discharged from the hospital by then.

Zhu Yingying also said: "No matter what, you come back first, and meet the child of your Uncle Chen's family. I have seen the photo of that young man. Although his grades are not as good as yours, and his future is not sure, but he looks pretty decent. Yes. People like us don’t ask for more skills, as long as you live happily.”

Zhu Yingying seemed to think that she was very good for her daughter, and she didn't ask her future son-in-law to be very capable, as long as she was well-matched and handsome, she could make her daughter happy.

Of course, Lu Youyou was very disgusted with this issue. She secretly worried that her mother's hair was long and her knowledge was short, she was too conservative and prudent to make a decision.After much deliberation, I had no choice but to take the risk of making an overseas phone call to directly contact my father who was still hospitalized in Fusang.

She is very clear that at this time, only her father can make a decision directly to turn the situation around.

However, she didn't know how to find more reasons to persuade her father, so she took some time to discuss with Gu Zhe tactfully, implying that Gu Zhe taught her some arguments.

Of course, Gu Zhe understood, and he also did his part to help Lu Youyou with some planning.

Finally, before New Year's Day, Lu Youyou mustered up the courage to call his father, and explained the matter in detail.

Lu Jinming listened to his daughter's analysis of the technical advantages and disadvantages, and immediately told him that this plan seemed very feasible.

He has been in this industry for ten years. Although he can't handle the research and development work himself, he is absolutely knowledgeable about technology, and he has a good eye to see which technologies are promising and which are not.

Lu Jinming was lying on the hospital bed at that time, feeling very relieved in his heart: "Youyou, you have really grown up, I didn't expect you to worry about this family so much, I have raised this daughter in her early years.

But why are you in such a hurry?Do you have to start importing now?After another half a month, can't we discuss it slowly when I return to China?There is no rush to place an order after the Chinese New Year.The smallest equipment of this kind costs hundreds of thousands of units, and only one hundred kilograms of meltblown cloth is sprayed every day. It is still necessary to calculate carefully. "

The Lu family's father and daughter's discussion is not easy to understand without any industry background.

A little translation in human terms: At the beginning of 2003, melt blown cloth was considered an advanced industry in China. It cannot be compared with 2020. At that time, the domestic consumption was very small and it mainly relied on imports. Domestic civilian protection mainly used cheaper and breathable gauze masks.

Later, in 2020, the production capacity of mask meltblown cloth can be guaranteed. It is because of this wave of losses in 03 that it has gained a lot of wisdom. Domestic meltblown cloth production capacity was only laid out after the plague in 03.

Because the machine equipment itself has not been localized, it has to be imported from Fusang, so the meltblown cloth machine is very expensive now——

Made in China is a typical example of selling what is cheap and buying what is expensive.When the Chinese cannot produce something by themselves, the price in the international market is very high. After the Chinese enter the market, they can directly break the price.

After 20 years, a large-scale melt blown machine with a daily spraying capacity of 70-[-] kg will cost RMB [-] million (it will not work when the rush is high, but the price will return to normal after the production capacity is met).

Today's Fusang products, with a daily spray of more than 100 kilograms, dare to ask for 40 million US dollars. If the unit production capacity is counted, it will be 20 times more expensive than the domestic products [-] years later.

Of course, the price of melt blown cloth is several times more expensive than the normal period 20 years later, because it is a fabric with relatively high technical content.

At present, the cost of meltblown cloth is about 3 yuan per ton, and the raw material polypropylene required for production is more than 4000 yuan per ton. Including the costs of factory electricity and labor, the total production cost other than equipment is 6000 yuan per ton.

In other words, Lu Jinming bought a piece of equipment that cost less than 40 US dollars, and the equivalent of RMB 300 million.

Spraying one ton of cloth every week, excluding materials and labor, the gross profit is 120.Spray for [-] weeks, that is, at least two and a half years, to recover the investment in the machine itself, which does not include financial costs and interest on funds.

In 02 and 03, when the foreign trade situation was very good when we just joined the WTO, this was definitely a high-risk and heavy asset with slow returns, and we could earn money by doing any other foreign trade.

Even if you buy a house in your hands for two and a half years, the price will rise to the sky in 05/06.

There is no future for Lu Jinming to sell melt-blown fabrics. He mainly puts his treasure on "using melt-blown machines to develop new fabrics with similar principles", so he has to be cautious.

But Lu Youyou knew that Gu Zhe must have a solution, and it must be reasonable for him to persuade her to join the game as soon as possible.Gu Zhe has helped her so many times, and he will never harm her.

So Lu Youyou used some of the words that Gu Zhe taught her at the end, and played the emotional card with his father:

"Dad, it's not 20 days since you've delayed. There's still Chinese New Year in between. Everyone is busy with other things. The delay is at least two months. Although this melt-blown fabric is not very popular as a non-woven fabric, I heard from experts that It can also be used as a highly absorbent mask, which is much easier to use than gauze, and can also be used as other personal protective equipment.

There are some things you have to trust.I am very grateful to fate. This time I read environmental engineering. If I take the helm in the future, I must pay more attention to the working environment and health protection of employees. I will never let the engineers in the chemical laboratory suffer from liver disease because of work. .

I will accumulate some virtue for you, thank you for being discovered by the doctor in time this time, and do something to give back to the society, okay?The big deal is that the meltblown cloth will be introduced first, and if the sales are not good, we will first make protective equipment for the workers in the chemical plant and improve the labor security of the technicians in the same industry, okay? "

Lu Youyou's last words finally moved Lu Jinming fundamentally.

His liver disease was detected very early and he was hospitalized in time, which also had a great impact on his personality.Some people will see through many things after a serious illness.

Moreover, his physical examination was the first money his daughter earned in her life, and the medical examination fee she paid for him. Some things suddenly seemed fatal to him.

"Okay, since it's your insistence, let's count it as an accumulation of virtue, isn't it just a few million investment, let me listen to you once. But if it turns out that you don't make much money in the end, you will definitely not be allowed to be willful again next time."

Lu Jinming made the decision himself, and of course the matter was finalized.He owns 75% of the shares in his company, and there is nothing to object to these day-to-day investment and management decisions.

He also happened to be in Fusang, and immediately got to know those familiar suppliers.Finally, with a swipe of the pen, I got a small discount, totaling 550 million yuan, and won two sets of equipment, with a total daily production capacity of 300 kg of melt blown cloth.

No matter how much he had, he didn't have spare money, so he had already borrowed [-]% from the bank, and he only paid [-]% with his own funds, and he had already spent all the money he had saved in the past two years.

There is no way to start a business without using the company's net assets as collateral for loans. Without debts, there is no way to operate.

It is estimated that after a few months, the equipment procurement and debugging will be in place.After the Spring Festival, it will almost enter mass production.
