Reborn in the red age

Chapter 260 What is the difference between this and direct copying?
Migrant workers, also known as migrant workers and migrant workers, refer to people who migrate from rural areas to cities for work. The term "migrant workers" only appeared after many farmers entered the city after the reform and opening up. They are the main force in urban economic development and have made great contributions to the development of the city.

The term migrant worker first came from an article published by a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in "Sociological Research Letters" in 1984.

Before 84, it was called blind migration, that is, farmers blindly moved to cities.

As the domestic foreign exchange reserves have increased in the past two years, the country has foreign exchange, but it cannot have children if it is retained, so naturally it has to find ways to spend it!
As a result, in the past two years, more and more non-scientific research units have sent inspection groups to the United States, Western Europe, and Japan for business inspections.

I don’t know what I was inspecting in the past, but I just went to inspect it anyway.

After the inspection team came back from seeing the colorful world of capitalism from outside, they became dissatisfied with various phenomena in the country and insisted on reform and learning from the West.

The first thing is the reform of municipal buildings. They are in shabby condition. We must build new buildings and learn from the advanced experience of the West in building buildings.

There are construction sites everywhere, preparing to build houses. To build a house, people are needed. What should the construction company do if the manpower is insufficient? Then we need to recruit workers from the society.

Therefore, large and small labor markets have been formed on several roads in various cities. People squat in groups on the streets, with various working tools placed at their feet. Wooden signs read Words such as carpenter and bricklayer are quietly waiting for the employer's greeting.

This is the first batch of migrant workers who came to cities after the country was reformed.

After glancing at it, he saw that the cigarette case in the other person's hand was crumpled and had been in his pocket for a long time, but there was still more than half of the pack inside. Qingfeng Li waved his hand with a smile and did not take his cigarette.

He glanced at Yan Dahai with satisfaction. No wonder he could be the leader. Qingfeng Li didn't mean to answer and continued to lead him around the store.

Qingfeng Li nodded: "You have all the plumbers, plasterers, carpenters, and painters here, right?"

"It's all there. If you use us, you don't need to find anyone else. We can do any job."

Last time when he was giving advice on the decoration of the front house in Xidan, Li Qingfeng was caught by Ma Wenhui and entrusted the decoration work to Li Qingfeng.

Seeing dozens of people squatting in the corner, Qingfeng Li did not shout for help, but looked at them one by one along the way. When he saw a group of people squatting on the roadside, he saw that their tools were quite complete, so he took the initiative to speak Ask: "Comrade, can you do decoration?"

“Can woodworkers carve patterns?”

As for other work, wait until tomorrow when the king delivers the building materials needed for the people.

"Okay, it's a two-story house with a total area of ​​300 square meters. I won't calculate your wages on a daily basis. I'll give you 1.5 yuan per square meter for labor. A total of 450 yuan for wages, regardless of food. But I’ll give you fifteen yuan each for food, and if you want to do it, come with me.”

Leading everyone to the store, Li Qingfeng took out the decoration design drawings he had made in the past two days, and while leading everyone around the store, he explained his decoration ideas to everyone.

"Leader, you can do it. We all belong to the same village. We used to build houses for many people in the village. In the past two years since we came to the city, we have also taken on a lot of decoration work. We are all good at it, including Are you satisfied?" A dark middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader, quickly stood up from the ground and handed a cigarette to Qingfeng Li with a smile.

The salary offered by Qingfeng Li was not low, much higher than the daily salary, not to mention the fifteen yuan for food. Naturally, Yan Dahai would not refuse, and nodded and agreed, taking his A group of fellow villagers packed up their tools and followed Qingfeng Li's bicycle towards the Xidan store.

People's vision these days seemed strange to Li Qingfeng. Red floor tiles were considered beautiful, green walls were considered fashionable, and many furniture doors were light green or light green.

"Boss, why should this wall be painted white? Green walls are very fashionable now. When we decorate other people's homes, they all paint them green." When Li Qingfeng talked about the white paint on the front, the decoration worker said: Point raised a question.

"Is it expensive or not? My name is Yan Dahai, leader. Just call me Lao Yan."

"Yes, I can do all the popular tricks nowadays, and I'm very dexterous."

When he heard that he wanted to smash the wall, Yan Dahai quickly waved his hand: "Leader, you can't smash this wall."

After making sure that they understood his intention, Li Qingfeng asked them to smash the wall on the first floor of the entrance first and prepare to make a glass showcase.

Before Li Qingfeng spoke, Yan Dahai pulled his partner and said, "Why do you talk so much? We are here to work. We can do whatever the leader tells us to do."

Therefore, on the weekend, Li Qingfeng came to the nearby labor market early in the morning, planning to hire a group of workers to decorate Ma Wenhui's store.

"Your name?"

"Why can't it be smashed? If this wall is smashed, will the house collapse?" Li Qingfeng had seen before that this was not a load-bearing wall, otherwise it would not have been demolished to make a display window.

"It won't collapse. If it's one floor, it'll be fine if I smash it. Isn't this a two-story brick-concrete building? If I smash one wall directly, I'm worried that the wall will crack."

Looking at the wall to be demolished in the plan, Li Qingfeng thought for a while and decided to listen to the advice of professionals. This wall should not be demolished. Barbaric construction should not be carried out. What if the building collapses.

Since the walls cannot be smashed, but the windows still have to be opened, can it still be a high-end clothing store without even a model window?

Soon, Qingfeng Li had his mind set on the window: "Master Yan, since this wall cannot be built, can this window be enlarged?"

Yan Dahai and a group of workers gathered around the window to look at it. After some discussion, they nodded to Qingfeng Li and said that the window could be enlarged and that as long as it was reinforced, there would be no problems with the overall house.

After confirming that there was no problem, Li Qingfeng planned the window expansion area and ran away immediately.

Qingfeng Li, who earns tens of thousands per minute, doesn't have the time to supervise the work. He can just take the time to come over and take a look in three or two days.

Today was the weekend, so Qingfeng Li had nothing to do when he went back, so he simply went to Wang Weimin's place to see what happened to their clothing design.

When Li Qingfeng rushed to the foreign trade company, the room was full of people, holding pens and papers in their hands, copying the pile of clothes, shoes and bags donated by Hu Jiabao. "What's going on with these people? Where are there so many people?" Li Qingfeng was startled by the people in the room and quickly asked Wang Weimin, who was serving tea and water next to him.

The current air conditioner is not very effective in cooling, and there are many people in the room. Wang Weimin was shirtless and sweating all over.

Taking a towel and wiping his face, Wang Weimin complained angrily: "It's not that Ma Wenhui doesn't think it's good to just copy other people's clothes. Let me borrow some designers from the factory and design my own clothes based on these clothes." "

"What's the difference between this and direct copying?" After hearing Wang Weimin's words, Li Qingfeng was shocked.

Designing your own products based on the finished products designed by others is not like taking off your pants and farting, which is unnecessary?

Qingfeng Li said it was difficult to understand the woman's thinking.

Wang Weimin shrugged and said helplessly: "I said so too, but Ma Wenhui and my sister-in-law gave me a slap in the face and kicked me out to bring water and popsicles to others. Brother, why don't you go in and tell me? Just copy it. That’s fine, why bother?”

Li Qingfeng looked at Ma Wenhui and Hu Jiabao who were designing clothes with great interest in the room, and slowly shook his head.

Ma Wenhui is fine. Now Hu Jiabao is also addicted to the pleasure of designing clothes by himself. He holds his child and wanders around every day. He doesn't want to touch this brow. It's not a big deal anyway. Idle time is idle. It's up to the two of them. Let women mess around.

I stayed with Wang Weimin in the afternoon and learned more about the recent business in detail.

On the foreign trade side, profits have skyrocketed since the OEM fee was reduced. In just half a year, the profit balance was US$1.2 million. This year's profit is expected to be around US$2.5 million.

This still saves face for the superiors, but only reduces the OEM cost. The bulk of the raw materials are not purchased at a reduced price.

The business of purchasing goods from Xiangjiang and selling domestically has been stopped by Qingfeng Li. Currently, only one game console factory is still operating in the SAR factory. The current reserve of national currency is enough to pay wages to workers for many years. There is no need to continue this business. .

What's more, after a few years of price breakthroughs, inflation has reached its peak, prices of daily necessities have increased significantly, and the national currency has depreciated significantly.

If you keep a large amount of national currency in your hands now, it will only be harvested as leeks and not as strong as the US dollar.

"Brother, I want to open a factory in the special zone. What do you think?" After Qingfeng Li read the latest account books, Wang Weimin spoke in a low voice and expressed his long-thought-out plan.

Hearing that Wang Weimin had his own idea, Li Qingfeng became interested: "Oh? Open a factory, what kind of business are you going to do?"

"Tape, video tape, brother, you don't know, these things are really easy to sell now, and they don't have any technology, the cost is low, the price is high, and they don't have to worry about sales. Once the factory opens, they will import the tapes from Xiangjiang and copy the content inside for piracy. Let's We have a lot of foreign exchange in our hands. Others can't compete with us and will crowd out other factories. When the time comes, we will monopolize the national market and money will come in faster than money can be printed." Seeing that Qingfeng Li was interested, Wang Weimin quickly expressed his thoughts. .

Afraid that Qingfeng Li would not be interested in the tape business, he also took out a stack of market research for Qingfeng Li and pointed out the most popular products on the market recently, including Teresa Teng and many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers' song tapes, and the video tapes from Hong Kong. , are all the best-sellers on the market recently.

After Wang Weimin showed one by one what he had carefully prepared during this period, Li Qingfeng remained silent and did not speak.

"Brother, what do you think of my idea? Can this tape factory do it?" Wang Weimin paid attention to Qingfeng Li's face and asked cautiously.

Li Qingfeng was struggling in his mind about how to persuade Wang Weimin to give up the idea of ​​opening a factory. In the past few years, he had been a businessman in China, but he was really not very good in the real economy.

What's more, in the magnetic tape industry, everyone knows that the production technology is difficult and cost-effective, and the involution is even more powerful.

There are already a large number of factories producing tapes in China, except for the Tiantan brand, Parrot brand, Modu brand, zzz brand, Seagull brand, Baihua brand, which are popular and good-quality old state-owned enterprises in the market.

In addition, there are a large number of no-name and pirated Sony tapes imported from Xiangjiang. The southeast coast has relied on Xiangjiang to start processing supplied materials. A number of small private enterprises have started to set up, and there are dozens of factories that produce tapes. Feeding tens of thousands of workers means tens of thousands of families.

For establishing a monopoly in this low-tech piracy industry, destroying other people's jobs and stealing business from ordinary people, Qingfeng Li really couldn't afford to lose that person.

Wang Weimin saw that Qingfeng Li remained silent and understood what Qingfeng Li was thinking, with a disappointed look on his face.

Noticing the disappointment on Wang Weimin's face, Li Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The tape factory business is too small and has no technical content. It is all done by small factories in the special zone. I disdain it." I’m going to compete with them for this business.”

At this point, Li Qingfeng paused and continued: "If you want to build a factory, I don't recommend you to build a tape factory. I have a new technology in the laboratory that has preliminary research results and is expected to be ready next year. If it succeeds, then you can do this project, which will be better than tape."

The new technology Li Qingfeng mentioned is the MPEG-1 decoding chip in the laboratory. It has achieved experimental success at the American Chip Research Institute and the finished product will be put into production next year at the latest.

At that time, a group of researchers can be assigned to Wang Weimin to set up a new company to research the VCD thing in advance.

Taking advantage of the fact that video recorders have not yet firmly occupied the foreign market, VCDs are launched to compete with video recorders and attract businessmen from other countries to produce VCDs.

The two core VCD and DVD technology patents, decoding chip and image compression technology, are in my own hands. Isn't it better to just collect patent fees and let the whole world work for me and make money than to make my own products?
When Wang Weimin heard that it was a new project in the laboratory, he quickly asked Qingfeng Li what kind of thing it was and what it could be used for.

Wang Weimin was still relieved. Li Qingfeng did not hide anything and simply explained in easy-to-understand language what products the MPEG-1 decoding chip could be used for.

Hearing that it was such a high-tech technology that could be sold overseas and was competitive in the international market, Wang Weimin was so excited that his nose bubbled with excitement. He forgot all about the tape business on the spot and patted his chest and asked Li Qingfeng promised that he would work hard and not let Qingfeng Li down.

Li Qingfeng didn't believe a single punctuation mark of Wang Weimin's guarantee. When the time comes, Wang Weimin should just be a good tool.

It's not that I look down on Wang Weimin, but ordinary people really can't handle high-tech technology and global sales.
