industrial maniac

Chapter 104 This mark is red and purple
On January 1, the Mechanical Three Kingdoms Smash Bros. began to sign up.

Registration ends on January 1th.

During the period, the preparations before the start of the competition were in full swing.

First of all, as the origin of the brand, Huangnigang has launched an all-round transformation with the support of TEP.

Two large mechanical characters are installed at the east gate and the north gate respectively. The speaker for lines is also used for broadcasting, the spray device is used for street lights, and the large metal desk card used to introduce the characters is also used for the bulletin board.

After the patchy asphalt road was repaired, many steel plates with road signs and warnings were laid on the surface, and a steel beam lighthouse was welded every 50 meters, and six halogen tungsten headlights were arranged above it.

As for the dilapidated door houses on both sides of the street, in addition to being wrapped with a layer of electroplated anti-rust iron, the door and interior have also been replaced.

Like a donkey meat restaurant.

The house uses foldable, expandable, and splicable metal tables and chairs, with rounded corners and tough lines.

The metal wall hanging made by TEP is hung on the wall, and the electric flip food photos are posted inside, and the exquisite small spotlights are set on the bottom, the whole is bright, simple and atmospheric.

With non-reflective frosted metal walls, the storefront can be instantly upgraded to countless levels.

Like barber shops, small shops, clinics, bun shops...

From the east gate to the north gate, and then to Daze, the styles change, like a mechanical street.

As the Spring Festival approaches, great changes have made it almost impossible for migrant workers returning to their hometowns to touch their homes.

As for whether someone will steal it...

Militia companies have recently changed into new uniforms.

Uniformly wear bear-style military woolen coats, fleece locomotive caps, Ake M chugs, and heavy cowhide boots, in groups of three, 12 people in a class, and follow the black and white three shifts of the toy factory Inverted, driving four light transport vehicles, patrolling uninterrupted around the clock.

Not to mention petty theft, even drunks are extinct.

The most eye-catching place in Huangnigang after the transformation is the supply and marketing cooperative.

The dilapidated big tile-roofed house in the past has now turned into a steel fortress.

The outer wall is fixed by steel beams and iron sheets, the inner layer is sound-proof and anti-corrosion, and the outer layer is fire-proof and insulated.

The roof is made of thick carbon steel 304 stainless steel, which is resistant to noise, rain and corrosion.

Five escape exits are opened in the front and back yards, which are connected as a whole, like an L-shaped corridor, with 150 computers placed in the middle, and toy counters and toy posters deployed on both sides.

There are large mechanical horses, large wind-up cars, and a hoop game that uses ejection devices to study in the courtyard...

There are also two chariot models for customers to take pictures for free.

People come and go, bustling and noisy.

The first supply and marketing chain computer room is also on the right track.

the other side.

1 month 20 number.

Liu Sixi, the leader of Rongsheng Township University, as usual, first took an armored transport vehicle to go around Daze, then took an armored transport vehicle to Huangnigang Toy Factory, and then took an armored transport vehicle back to the township courtyard. formally start work.

Just sitting in the office for a while, the new deputy mayor, a young man transferred from the Zeshi office, knocked on the door outside.

"lead."

"Xiao Zhou, come in and say."

"The leaders, the city and the county, respectively notified that more than a dozen investors of Washima enterprises are rushing from Dongshan Prefecture, arriving around ten o'clock."

"Understood, you go to work first."

"Aren't we going to prepare?"

"Is there anything to prepare, do you still want me to hold a welcome ceremony?"

"I guess that's what the above means."

"Heh, I'm already very restrained if I don't enforce the rules of Huangnigang..."

As Liu Sixi was talking, he suddenly thought of something, "Use the roadside radio to shout, and when the car from the Japanese company arrives, tell the village not to throw bricks or splash dirty water, so as not to destroy the newly installed street lamps and bulletin boards. Xu People have said that whoever breaks it will lose money, say less than 80 yuan, and as much as [-] yuan, from now on the toy factory will never hire."

"The investor of the Japanese enterprise, shall we ignore it?"

"It's best to let me know...do you speak Japanese?"

"No, but some foreign traders will."

"Let them convey it to the Japanese company, and leave as soon as they finish talking."

"Leader, don't we try to attract investment?"

"One TEP is enough. Besides, Japanese companies, you don't want these little devils to be here with us. Suddenly, one or two of them are missing for no reason. Then go to the river bank to find someone?"

"..."

"Xiao Zhou, you just came here, and you don't know much about Huangnigang. Our folk customs are simple, older people have a family and a house, and basically don't go too far. But younger people, especially fourteen or fifteen years old, see more If there is an anti-Japanese movie, if there are trolls hidden in the house, it is very likely that they will lie on the roof and give the Japanese people a shot. When the time comes, there will be a bang, and the matter will become a big deal? If you are punished because of this, you Are you saying that you are wronged or not?"

"Then I'll make arrangements."

"By the way, let the armed forces take the bullets of the militia into storage."

Liu Sixi rummaged through the drawer and took out a copy of TEP's free leased armament list, "One must not be missing, and the armored transport vehicle will be impounded temporarily."

In order to ensure the safety of foreign-funded enterprises, Huangnigang reorganized the militia company.

According to regulations, the township compound has to manage meals and pay for them.

But some time ago, I couldn't even pay my salary, so how could I have the ability to do this.

Fortunately, at that time, Xu proposed to donate money in his own name to ensure the training of the militia.Then borrow some military equipment from the TEP headquarters and lease it to the militia for free to ensure combat effectiveness.

In addition, food and housing are included during training, benefits are given during festivals, bonuses are given at the end of the year, cotton clothes are issued in winter, and armor is provided for travel...

This treatment immediately attracted a large number of laborers.

There are no specific regulations on the militia's armaments, and a few armored combat vehicles will not exceed the standard.

But the mouth of others is soft, and the hands of others are short.

If someone Xu intends to do something bad to the Japanese company...

Maybe the militiamen suddenly wiped their guns and went off...

Maybe the militia suddenly lost control of the vehicle...

Although Liu Sixi couldn't figure out why Xu asked the little devil to come to Daze, he could be sure that there must be something going on inside.

………………

ten o'clock in the morning.

More than a dozen foreign businessmen's own cars with black license plates drove from the direction of Jishui City to the east gate of Huangnigang.

Looking at the license plate letters, some are from Liangang, Liao Province, some are from Dongshan Yancheng, some are from Dongshan Qinggang, and some are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Lianyun Port...

Looking at the car logo, there is a crown, a Lexus, a Duke King, and even a very rare Toyota Century...

In this luxury car, the old and the young sat in the back row, keeping silent with each other, watching the scenery flashing by outside the car window.

Toys need continuous innovation in order to win the market.

like Lego.

Relying on small building blocks, it has gone through more than 70 years, and it seems that nothing has changed. In fact, it purchases animation licenses at high prices every year, acquires film and television licenses, and launches popular models to continue its life.

It was not until recently that the copyright could not be bought and the market plummeted, so the company had to adjust its structure and even be forced to transform.

Like Bandai.

Relying on the character model, after more than 30 years, it seems that there is no change, but in fact, it invests huge sums of money every year to acquire the copyright of comics and novels, adapt them into animations and games corresponding to its own business, and drive the model toy industry.

It wasn't until the recent economic crisis that there was no money to innovate, so I had to consider merging with Sega, entering the field of electronic pets, and solving the bankruptcy crisis.

And Domi, Kotobukiya, Happinet, Furyu, SK Japan... the same is true.

It can be said that since the development of toys, copyright represents innovation and market, as well as high cost.

If there is a toy that does not require copyright, but can make people flock to it with its cultural attributes, and can continue to increase its popularity with the help of games and movies that do not involve copyright, then it will definitely become the object of imitation by toy manufacturers.

But Mechanical Three Kingdoms is a different kind.

Electroplating technology, metal casing, seamless welding, micron processing, unique impact method, overwhelming output, low sales price...

The possibility of being imitated has been eliminated in many ways.

Although no one knows its profit point now, toy manufacturers can see its market potential from the simple shape, capable design, driving form, and existing styles.

Continue to strengthen and focus on action?

Sustained fullness, mainly for viewing?

Continue to be complex, mainly building blocks?

Now that the action competition is about to start, will there be a building block skill competition in the future?Will there be a festival-level aesthetic competition improved with stickers?

But no matter which direction it develops, based on the status quo of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery, it will definitely earn more and more in the future.

Since it cannot be imitated, if you want to follow suit to make money, the best way is naturally to win the distribution rights.

In fact, not long after this toy landed on Wajima, it attracted the attention of many toy manufacturers.

When the first batch of goods was sold out, some comprehensive trading clubs took the lead in taking action and decided to win the general distribution rights and monopolize the entire Japanese island.

Everyone first went to the German headquarters of TEP according to the company introduction on the official website of TEP (Washima).

Then it was discovered that the intersection of Worth Street and William Street was the residence of Hillert, which had already been reduced to ruins...

In desperation, I contacted the TEP headquarters, and the call went to Jamaica.

Later, everyone went to TEP North America branch according to the company introduction on TEP (North America) official website.

Then I found out that it was the Boston Police Department...

Later, everyone went to Nanbangzi according to the official website of TEP (Seoul).

Then it was almost dropped by the North American base...

As for why not go directly to the TEP (Huaxia) branch?
Do you think that a small toy factory invested by a foreign company has the right to speak?

And after a long circle, it has been a month, and more and more Japanese island companies have decided to win the general distribution of Machinery Three Kingdoms.

In the end, everyone tried to consult the TEP (Huaxia) Operations Management Center.

Unexpectedly, she really has the right to speak.

Takeuchi, thinking about the experience of the past month, let out a long breath.

Then he looked at the young junior beside him, "Rano, in this negotiation, our goal is to win 10 billion red notes every year to win the general distribution of Wajima, and the payment will be calculated separately. If we fail, our other goal is to rebate 5 points Or take a commission and win the general sales agency of Wadao. The former needs to reduce costs, and the latter needs to increase profits, are you sure?"

"Uncle, look outside."

"Hey, mechanical city? It fits the whimsy of Three Kingdoms Toys."

"They obviously have a better operation plan, otherwise they would not ask the Wadao distributor for event planning fees. I think that the other party is very likely to use direct sales or direct sales."

"But they won't be able to do it for a while."

"So, we have the initiative, and we must win the distribution rights, otherwise we will drive them out of the Wadao market."

Hearing this, Takeuchi laughed and patted his nephew on the shoulder, "We'll wait and see how I treat you.

………………

Daze power.

The newly completed Great Hall, Room 8.

Xu Fei sat on the rostrum, feeling the heat brought by the small sun heater, and looked down at the relevant materials of the Wajima Zaibatsu.

Calling the other party to Daze, there is no special idea.

Now is an age of peace. Instead of getting rid of a few Japanese people in the country and causing trouble, it is far better to build a warship and run to the other side's door from time to time to set off a few fireworks.

The reason why Xu Fei did this was to take the opportunity to send the spy out.

At the beginning, he organized a spy in Huangnigang and planned to give it to Zeng Dahe, but later found that he could not pretend to be a unit of his own camp, so he let the other party hide in the construction site.

Spies do not have relevant documents and cannot go abroad.

Although it is rare to check household registration and identity certificates now, the military trainees have arrived at Gucheng Technical Secondary School, and the prison has given a definite reply. Maybe one day a surprise inspection will be carried out by Daze to clean up the unidentified persons.

Coincidentally, the Wajima chaebol wanted distribution rights, so it was better to let the other party come to negotiate in person, and then take the opportunity to replace a hostile ordinary unit.

In this way, the cost of going abroad is waived, and the air ticket is waived. When the spies return to Wajima, they can explore the map and drop more spies by the way.

However, look through the information.

Xu Fei had never heard of the Wajima chaebol who came here this time.

There is no such thing as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, or Quyou. Most of them are local or joint in nature, and a few belong to toy brands.

Local and United Co., Ltd., the purpose is to get the general distribution of Wajima.

Toy brands, the purpose is to entrust OEM production.

Thinking.

Outside the gate of the auditorium, more than a dozen foreign-owned cars slowly stopped.

In the past, black-branded vehicles only represented the big driving hall.

Beginning in 92, if the local investment meets certain requirements, one can bring a foreign-funded vehicle into the customs, free of tax.

For example, imported Butterfly Ben, the tax rate is as high as 100%~150%, and the overall price is almost doubled.

However, if you enter in the name of foreign capital, you can completely exempt from the tax rate.

And, if the total investment exceeds 1 million red notes, you can carry two vehicles.

If the total investment exceeds 10 billion red notes, you can carry three vehicles.

That seems like a lot to ask for, but it raises a serious problem.

Foreign investors bring in their cars, and after tax exemption, they sell the cars with their license plates. When there is a quota in hand, they can continue to apply for foreign investors to bring their own cars.

Therefore, black-branded cars have turned from being tall in the early 90s to a bad street now.

at the same time.

A Wajima capitalist in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car one after another.

A large purple-red exclamation mark suddenly appeared on the small map in Xu Fei's field of vision.

"Is it that serious?"

The last time I went to Nanbangzi, the base reminded me to enter and leave my own camp.

After getting off the plane, except for a group of security personnel, the rest are all displayed as ordinary units without special marks.

The Boston Police Department only showed red dots.

And these people...

Duang~~duang~~duang~~~
The fuchsia exclamation point contracted and retracted like a siren.

'It appears that replacing one with a spy is not enough. '

'It is necessary to replace all common units as much as possible. '

'It's best to study how to replace elite units by the way. '
