Chapter 67 Meltblown Cloth Masks

After all, Lu Jinming has been the boss for more than ten years, and his execution ability is still very decisive.

Now that they have decided to listen to Gu Zhe's persuasion and rush to mass-produce meltblown cloth years ago, Mingyuan International immediately mobilized everyone to work together in four aspects to make comprehensive preparations.

First of all, the engineers continued to step up the adjustment of the melt blown machine. With everyone's efforts, the Friday afternoon and evening struggle, and the two consecutive overtime work on the weekend, finally, the test flow was properly run-in before going to work on Monday, and production can be done at any time.

Secondly, Lu Jinming chose to make an emergency visit to Zhenyang Refining & Chemical in person on Friday afternoon, had a cup of tea with Chen Jingcheng and said hello, and asked the people in his company's purchasing department to connect with the specific business personnel under the other party.
The framework agreement for the long-term purchase of polypropylene and PVA was formally signed, and a stable purchase price was obtained-this matter was not something that I only thought of doing on Friday, but has been in contact since Monday.

On the day of Lu Youyou's birthday party on January 1, the two parties had already expressed their positions, and the preliminary negotiations had also laid the groundwork.

It's just that before seeing the notice that Gu Zhe brought, Lu Jinming was not in such a hurry.Now it is time to step up and put in a few more red envelopes regardless of the cost, so that the other party's handlers can show some efficiency, and stop the state-owned enterprises from being sluggish.

After all the contracts were finalized, Lu Jinming also made a decisive decision. Using the pretext of purchasing a batch of samples in advance, he paid directly and took away 20 tons of spot polypropylene from Zhenyang Refining & Chemical's warehouse on the same day.

The long-term contract price was written at 4000 yuan per ton, so Mingyuan International paid 8 yuan in the past.

The production of masks also requires other accessories, such as elastic steel wires for the nose pad skeleton, elastic ropes for mask straps, needle and thread adhesives for sewing mask straps, and so on.

However, the amount of these things is much less than that of polypropylene, and Donghai Province has a developed private economy and a complete supply chain for small commodities.

Just go to Yiwu to find a small factory contiguous industrial area and walk around, these raw materials can be available in stock within a few days——

This is not bragging, needless to say, even if Gu Zhe's mother, Chu Xiu, went back to her hometown in Wuzhou, she could gather all these odds and ends from the factories opened by her relatives and friends in Yiwu.

After finishing the melt blown machine and raw materials, Lu Jinming's last two tasks were to contact the medical device companies that produce masks and to order mask machines by himself.

It is easy to contact medical companies. He just asked the people in the sales department to make a lot of phone calls, explain the current situation to them, and make them believe that this industry has a future. If they want to produce polypropylene meltblown masks , call Mingyuan International for details...

After a round of sales calls, at least [-]% of the medical device companies did not respond immediately, and they regarded Mingyuan International as a fraudulent company.

Or even if they have heard the name of the company, most of them think that there are scammers impersonating Mingyuan International.

There was no way for Gu Zhe to react too quickly. He had just issued a government notice from the Guangdong Provincial Department of Health on Thursday night, and he discussed it with Lu Jinming the next day.Even the mainstream media has not spread the news yet.

Most business owners, who will stare at the notification documents of the health authorities of each province every day, they will only believe them when there is a big trouble.

But it depends on human effort, Lu Jinming asked people to call every day, and when he went to work next Monday, it is estimated that many people would believe him, and as long as there was a need, they would come to his door sooner or later.

As for Lu Jinming's last deployment, that is, the purchase of mask machines, the negotiation went relatively smoothly, but the supply will not be too fast.

The fastest ones will arrive within a week, and they are still two old second-hand machines, so they are only in stock.If you want to get new goods, at least the Lantern Festival can be shipped to Mingzhou.

The mask machine manufacturers did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and wanted to have a holiday for the New Year and slowly resume production.Lu Jinming has no choice but to temporarily plan to lose money, pay more to pick up the goods, and give different prices according to the delivery time of the other party——

For example, the price of 20 units originally quoted by the other party was delivered during the Lantern Festival.Lu Jinming mentioned 22 yuan and requested that the goods be delivered on the first day of work on the first day of July.Or 24, arrive before New Year's Eve.

Merchants in Donghai Province have a quick sense of smell and reaction to money.The profit of the mask machine is not very high. I heard that the early shipment can earn 4 yuan more. With the reward, some companies are willing to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.

……

After three days of intense and busy preparations, the new week came with time.

On the morning of January 1, the employees of Mingyuan International had just come to work, and some managers of the workshop, as well as the main technicians and heads of technical departments, were called to Lu Jinming's office.

Lu Jinming officially mobilized his subordinates for full-scale production, promising at least three times the salary from now on, and big red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

Even if the four days from the 27th to the 30th are not counted as national statutory holidays, they should not be paid three times, but he can still pay them.

Legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. In reality, many workers will go home early to celebrate the New Year.There are not many people who still work in the factory on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. It is impossible to really wait until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which is legally stipulated by the country, to return.

Only in this way can Lu Jinming keep the small part that hasn't left yet.

His decision really attracted the incomprehension of many employees.

Fortunately, with the passage of time for another three days, the news from the outside world became a little clearer, not as confusing as it was when Gu Zhe first came to the door on the 24th.

Lu Jinming quoted the latest situation very sincerely. Of course, it was inevitable to exaggerate in an attempt to impress the employees. In the end, he seduced the employees with affection and stabilized enough manpower to maintain the production line of meltblown machines during the Chinese New Year.

Beginning on the 28th, all three melt blown machines in the factory began to spray cloth, with a rated production capacity of 150 kg per day.However, the highest efficiency was not achieved at the beginning, and the average weight of each machine was less than 100 kg on the first day.

Especially the one that Gu Zhe paid for and shipped to Mingyuan International, because it was a cheap second-hand product purchased urgently.The other two are priced at 300 million RMB, while Gu Zhe's is only worth 220 million RMB, and it has been used for more than two years.

After running at full speed, it is inevitable to stumble and often stop to repair and replace parts. It takes several days to get normal.

On January 1, the day of New Year's Eve, the machine was close to the rated production capacity, and a total of 31 kg of cloth was sprayed on that day.

The mask machine has not yet arrived, and there is no door-to-door procurement cooperation from medical device companies, so the melt-blown cloth that is sprayed out can only be stored cleanly and cut simply.Within a few days, several tons of melt blown cloth were piled up in the warehouse.

……

Because of the busyness in the factory, Gu Zhe and Lu Youyou's life this year was rather dull.

Gu Zhe's father, Gu Haifeng, actually returned to the voyage just after January 1th. He had been out to sea for a month or two before.

When he came back, he heard from his wife that his son had bought a house and a car, and that he had sold a powerful patent for a good price. He was also shocked, and felt somewhat unreal that he had been disconnected for too long.

Fortunately, Gu Zhe has created enough miracles, he can only try to adapt as soon as possible.

After the couple made up their minds, they both decided to listen to their son and hire more crew members, waiters, and cooks. Regardless of whether the small business at home makes money or not, they try to outsource the hard work as much as possible.

This decision is not because I am really afraid of hard work and suddenly willing to live in retirement.

They are all in their early 40s, and they are still in the prime of life, and they are not at the age where they want to retire.

The main reason is that they heard that their son and the young lady of the Lu family finally fell in love. They were afraid that the person who lost their son would let outsiders point out behind their backs, "Lu Jinming, the in-laws of Boss Lu, actually wants to go fishing in a boat by himself!" , Make barbecue and watch the shop by yourself.”

Gu Zhe and Lu Youyou have been dating for more than ten days, and Lu Youyou also casually said some of the bullshit that he helped Gu Zhe before, "Gu Zhe's father runs a fishery company, and his mother runs a restaurant."

When Lu Youyou mentioned this matter, it was just as a kind of reminiscence and talk, to express his feelings about the vicissitudes of this journey, and there was no other meaning.

But after Gu Zhe remembered it, when he secretly told his parents, the parents were very righteous, and they voluntarily chose, "How did the daughter-in-law brag about them back then, they must really achieve that status and style."

Gu Zhe was also happy to see the results, and just relied on this opportunity to make his parents a little easier.It will not be completely off-duty, idle and uncomfortable.

The first Lunar New Year after Gu Zhe's rebirth was spent peacefully in a harmonious atmosphere where the family made plans for each other.

Only the melt blown machine production line at the factory did not stop working for seven days during the Golden Week, so it worked overtime until February 2th, and the outside society officially resumed work after the holiday.

Several mask machines ordered by Lu Jinming were finally in place two or three days before February 2th, and the adjustments were completed. After the first batch of reworked employees arrived on February 7th, simple training began to switch production.

On Lu Jinming's side, before the first batch of masks came off the production line, they sent people non-stop to call customers in the medical system in Guangdong Province to sell them, or to apply for a small batch of aid supplies for trial comparison.

Fortunately, this kind of goodwill finally got an immediate response, whether it was sales or donations, there were positive feedbacks—because historically, by February 2, a special investigation team from the Beijing Ministries and Commissions had gone to Guangdong Province, indicating that It has been found that the first batch of cases spread to the capital because of the Spring Festival travel.

The day when Lu Jinming officially produced the first melt-blown cloth mask was only one day earlier than the capital investigation team went south, which shows that the local situation in Guangdong Province is no longer optimistic.

Even the interim standard that "gauze-sewn masks must have 12 layers" has just begun to be implemented. Melt-blown cloth with much better adsorption properties can be used, and of course the local health agency needs it.

Lu Jinming first donated the production of the first day to relevant hospitals and medical staff.Then the output in the next few days will be sold as normal for social personnel.

He had accumulated 6 tons of finished meltblown cloth in stock before, and it would be very fast to turn it into a mask.An ordinary medical mask only uses less than 10 grams of melt blown cloth, and the processing loss has been counted.So one ton of cloth can produce at least [-] masks.

If you want to get as close as possible to the KN95 standard, you need to thicken multiple layers and cooperate with other technologies, and you will use several times more materials (Lu Jinming can’t produce KN95 masks, so you can only strengthen them as much as possible)
But no matter what, even if Lu Jinming donated the first day's amount first, and all the thickened and overconsumed products produced, it would be enough for thousands of medical staff to change four every day for a month.

With the demonstration effect of the curative effect of this donation, the part of social sales will definitely be rolled out smoothly.

However, Lu Jinming didn't know that as he was about to step on the wind to make money, his upstream supply chain was about to face new people trying to divide the money.
