Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 299 The work was completed perfectly, and it was recommended to open a branch factory

I was just looking at the rising foreign exchange prices, but I really didn't think about losing money if I couldn't deliver the goods. The secretary suddenly became vigilant.

"Then what do you think, we won't sign the contract after we have received enough tasks? I asked Lao Luo. If he can do it, we can increase it from the current 500 per month to 700-800, or more. There is hope."

Zhu Xuefeng knows that the market for small-displacement motorcycles in recent years has been in the millions. Hundreds of them are produced a month, and only less than 10,000 are produced in a year. He is really watching the market being taken over by small people. .

"You haven't considered the Canton Fair in the second half of the year. You won't want to participate then."

Secretary Chen also realized that the production capacity was insufficient and had far exceeded expectations. In just two days, more than a thousand vehicles were ordered, which is an average output of more than a month per day.

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Leader, this is what I think. There are very few foreign guests from Europe and the United States now, and we have no channels to sell to them. When the market over there is opened, the gap will be even bigger. We have to find a way early."

"I suggest that when the data comes out in the next few days, if it is really huge and our factory can't bear it, why can't we just set up a branch factory here? There are many battery technology, plastics, and rubber factories here."

"If other factories in the capital are reluctant, you can also invite them to set up branch factories here. I see that there are a lot of open spaces here. Outside Yangcheng and facing Xiangjiang, most of them are empty except for farmland. We can just put them there. The factory is located in Yangcheng or close to the border, so it is more convenient to export from Xiangjiang."

Secretary Chen fell into deep thought and shook his head after a while.

"It is still possible to open a branch factory. It can indeed solve many problems, but the investment is huge. Another thing, you don't know, there is a reason why these places in Yangcheng are empty. As long as there is no support from the superiors and the local people, it will be very difficult. Difficult to handle.”

Of course Zhu Xuefeng knew that building a factory here was just an introduction.

Secretary Chen thought for a moment and then said, "It doesn't seem like we can't give it a try. If it comes true, we can just open a motorcycle branch here and sell the ones in Beijing in the north. It would be really troublesome to transport them back and forth. The efficiency is low, I will discuss it with Lao Yang after we go back."

Yangcheng's industrial foundation is still very strong. The capital only has many research institutes, universities, research institutions and special industries. The basic industry is not as good as that of Yangcheng. Zhu Xuefeng's proposal also seems very reliable.

There is a Wuyang bicycle factory, a diesel engine factory, a shipyard here, and there is no shortage of other food, hardware, daily necessities, chemicals, textiles, and rubber. But there is one thing that does not comply with the national security policy. Now the coastal areas are avoiding the scourge of war. So Zhu Xuefeng just mentioned that he was not optimistic about whether it would succeed, as long as the leader had the idea of ​​opening a branch factory.

"Actually, alas, let's not talk about this anymore..."

"Now the steel rolling mill has new projects and the business is getting bigger. Lao Yang and I are really beyond our capabilities."

Seeing that the secretary actually started to sigh, Zhu Xuefeng knew that this was because it was difficult to do something, and some people were unwilling to contribute, but they liked to hold back.

"By the way, didn't Director Yang say that Director Li was coming? Why did Director Zhao be replaced?"

"Don't listen to Lao Yang's nonsense. Deputy Factory Director Li said he was unwell and couldn't come."

"Did you bring cigarettes? I smoked a lot today, and I actually finished them."

Zhu Xuefeng took out a box, but there were a few missing in it. The two lit it again and sat down on the stone bench under the tree. Zhu Xuefeng took out another box and handed it over.

"Secretary, smoking too much of these cigarettes is bad for your lungs. It's better to smoke less. You can keep this pack as a spare."

Secretary Chen took it and put it in his pocket, "Is there another explanation? It can't be just from checking the information again."

"Secretary, don't believe it. It's really found out. There is nicotine in this cigarette. Someone did experiments on white mice..."

"Okay, listen to others' advice and eat enough. I'll be more careful in the future, but forget it today."

The secretary's expression kept changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't say anything for a long time, and finally put out the cigarette butt and stood up.

"Let's go, go back first. It's getting late. Tomorrow, you go and get busy first. I have to go to my old comrades."

"You are..."

"What else can I do? Wipe the butt of that man named Huang, apologize to my old comrades, and have a drink. You can watch the scene. I may not be able to go there until the afternoon."

...

"Miss Wu, you're finally here. I'm so eager to see you."

Wu Qianqian also entered the exhibition hall with several people from Xiangjiang. Zhu Xuefeng pulled Wu Qianqian aside and had a good chat for a while.

The progress in Xiangjiang is not bad, everything is in order. Chen Dong also got a lot of shipping orders through the Canton Fair, rented two freighters, and now follows Zhu Xuefeng's suggestion to start shipping by sea.

"Isn't this according to your request? I'm not too late. Today is only the third day. Didn't I agree that it would be the third day?"

Well, that's right. We made an appointment on the third day just to get the details. Unexpectedly, the motorcycle was sold at a super low price and was sold very well.

"It's not your fault, it's my prediction that was wrong. Go find someone to sign it. It's going to be difficult to get the goods now. There are more than a thousand vehicles lined up in front of you."

Wu Qianqian was also greatly surprised. She hadn't taken a good look at it, let alone a test drive. Only when her boss asked her to prepare contacts to shoot advertisements did she take it seriously.

"Boss, what is your identity? You also help sell motorcycles."

"Don't pry, remember to keep it secret. If you can't remember the ten company confidentiality rules I left behind, you have to remember what I told you. If you talk too much, your salary will be deducted."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask. If I don't get the goods, will I still be filming this commercial?"

"Of course I have to take pictures. There aren't many cars right now, but I have to get some for you anyway. The rest will have to wait for a while. By the way, I asked you to apply for an office in Yangcheng. How's that going?"

Wu Qianqian smiled mysteriously, seeing that her boss was a little anxious before speaking.

"Boss, if people say it's not possible in principle, I know what to do. Don't worry, I can definitely get it done within a week. I'll know what to do by then."

The liquidity on Wu Qianqian's hand was not comparable to that of White Turban. She ordered 20 vehicles of each type, totaling 200 vehicles. However, she signed a letter of intent stating that she would order at least this amount every month, and she also paid a deposit of 10,000. Zhu Xuefeng is still very confident in the motorcycle he designed.

"There aren't many left on the books, right?" Zhu Xuefeng asked quietly.

"There are still more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, 30,000 US dollars, and Japanese yen. When the payment for the small days is settled, there will be a lot less on the account, but it doesn't cost much to shoot an advertisement. As long as I don't continue to invest, these The money will last me a year, and by then the radio should start making money, and the garment factory should also make money."

Wu Qianqian is still very confident in these two projects.

If you really want to make money from radios, you have to sell them to Europe and the United States. It's hard to tell at this time, because the capital is still too small. If the motorcycles can't produce short-term results, they can only get a loan.

"If you have difficulties, let's get a loan first. The things I left to Chen Dong, let him find a place quickly and prepare for the auction. He has to find some of his old friends in Southeast Asia as trustees to make Xiaoli bleed. With that sum Money is no problem." "Okay, boss, I will remind him that in a few months it will be the "Sea Festival" of the small life."

In fact, Zhu Xuefeng had already contacted Chen Dong, just to remind Wu Qianqian that there was still a sum of money that could be used in the future.

Zhu Xuefeng left a few national treasures from his childhood to Chen Dong, waiting to be auctioned. In the future, he would change the place and take some pictures every once in a while. It was fun to think about it, and let them have a taste of it. A large number of sales would have to wait until his childhood became richer. Point, gather more wool.

"Boss, please slow down and work. If nothing happens, I'll leave."

"Remember to get the office ready as soon as possible. Maybe I will send someone to contact you soon. You have to hurry up on this. There is still something else. You can finish this and everything will be fine..."

...

"Team leader, the girl just now is so beautiful. You have been talking to her for so long. What have you been talking about?"

Zhou Wenwen looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a smile. He didn't regard the team leader as a leader at all. He blinked just to see Zhu Xuefeng's embarrassment.

"What can be the problem? She wanted to discuss with us and arrange for someone to learn how to repair and maintain motorcycles. I told her that she had to arrange for someone to go to the capital to learn. She thought it was too far and asked if she could send someone to teach."

"Send me and I will teach them."

"Do you know the maintenance and repair of this motorcycle? Can you explain the working principle clearly? Do you know how to judge basic faults? Go and entertain the guests honestly. Let's go and get to work."

The motorcycle booth at the steel rolling mill has always been crowded with people. Although the number of transactions each time was not large, more than 70 orders were sold in the whole process, totaling more than 4,000 vehicles, with a transaction volume of more than 800,000 US dollars. Although in The total amount of the entire Canton Fair is nearly 400 million US dollars, which seems inconspicuous.

However, it entered the top ten in terms of transaction volume, ranking eighth. The Beijing trading group also took advantage of the sudden rise of the steel rolling mill to surpass Bingcheng for the first time and enter the top three.

Leader Lao Luo was so happy that he came here several times. This time he will definitely be praised when he goes back. You know, at that time, the steel rolling mill quickly signed up to participate, and the new motorcycle was not yet an official product. They fought against all opinions and gave strong support. Can make the trip.

It can be said that without their strong support, the steel rolling mill would not be able to come this time, and the Beijing trading team would not have this report card.

Now on the train back to Beijing, Secretary Chen and Director Zhao have been taken to the dining car by Leader Luo to drink. The two technicians are playing poker with Zhou Wenwen, and Lou Xiao'e is flipping through a newly purchased foreign language textbook.

Zhu Xuefeng feels like he's returning home. It's been more than a month since he left. Compared with when he left, what he has experienced in the past month is like a dream. Now he doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to get home early.

"Team leader, how did you come up with this method? It's so interesting."

Zhou Wenwen held the cards in one hand and arranged them while he asked Zhu Xuefeng without looking back. Everyone had learned this trick at night in Yangcheng.

Zhu Xuefeng was caught smoking together by Lao Sun. Lao Sun didn't bother to play cards with the young people, so he had to drag Zhu Xuefeng along.

"It's free. It's not the New Year's Eve and we have to stay up late, so my younger brother and sister are the only ones in our family, so we started playing."

Lou Xiao'e covered her mouth and coughed several times.

"Team leader, Director Sun, can you move to another place to smoke? Look, Xiao'e is coughing."

"Okay, okay, you are such a good little girl. Boy, let's go. It just so happens that your uncle has something to ask you."

The banging train was running fast, and at the swaying junction, the two of them leaned on the train and puffed away.

"I heard from the secretary that he wants to open a branch factory here. Do you know about this?"

Has the secretary figured it out? The two of them had not communicated about this matter since the last time they made the suggestion. They did not expect that they would leak it to Director Sun.

Something suddenly occurred to him and he asked quickly.

"Uncle Sun, what did you say at that time?"

Director Sun was stunned, and the leader inadvertently revealed what he could say.

Seeing that Director Sun did not understand, Zhu Xuefeng looked anxious for Director Sun.

"Uncle Sun, why doesn't anyone else know, but the leader just let it slip to you? This is asking for your opinion. Alas, Uncle Sun, your ancestors are locals. The leader is asking you if you have any thoughts and wishes. .”

Only then did Director Sun come back to his senses. No wonder he didn't express his opinion at that time. Looking at the leader who seemed a little disappointed and Secretary Chen's disappointed eyes, he had been thinking about it for several days. He also worked hard at this exhibition and made no mistakes. There's a relationship issue here.

"If you really have this opportunity, Uncle Sun, would you be willing to come?"

"Who are you stupid to be unwilling? My parents are here, my children have gone to work, and the leaves have fallen back to their roots. It's good to come here."

"What about aunt? Will she be unwilling?"

Director Sun shook his head. "It's my turn to make the decision on this kind of thing. It's okay. As long as I come, she will definitely follow."

Zhu Xuefeng joked with a smile. "Uncle Sun, don't talk about it like that now. When the time comes, you will have a third mother to teach your son."

"You brat, you don't have a good word to say. By the way, if such a day comes, how about I bring your master and new junior brother here too."

"Uncle Sun, you are thinking too far. You haven't even written these words yet, and you are thinking about my master. Last time he said he wanted to go to the new motorcycle workshop, but you refused to let him go. This I just wanted to turn all the way to the south in one go."

"Your master only has two children in his family, and they are still in school. I think there is no problem. There are more tea leaves in the south than in the capital. Your master loves tea so much. If I go and talk about it, there may be something interesting." .

What kind of tea? It’s a clear excuse. Speaking of tea, I’ve been shopping a lot in Yangcheng. I even asked Wu Qianqian to buy a lot in the exhibition hall. There are so many good teas. They all came to earn foreign exchange, but Zhu Xuefeng took a look around. When I got it back, it was still new tea. Now many people were blessed.

"My master should be able to do it. My classmate is pretty tough. He has only been working for a few months. An apprentice worker shouldn't let him run away."

Director Sun looked at him as if he were a fool, "Apprentice, how long has it been since you went to the workshop to ask? Your junior brother is worse than you, but he passed the exam smoothly this time."

"If your master hadn't been so strict, I think he would have been 60% sure of taking the Level 2 exam. Unfortunately, Lao Lu wouldn't let him go, saying that he didn't have a solid foundation and was far inferior to you."

"You haven't even taken the exam yet. Your master thinks very highly of you. He keeps saying that you won't pass Level 3. You've only been working here for less than a month."

Zhu Xuefeng was also a little embarrassed, "That's what the master said. He was trying to motivate my classmates. Don't take it seriously. But this kid can do it. I have to let him buy me a drink when I get back."
