Chapter 76 High Profit Target (please ask for monthly tickets)
“Free?” Su Yiyi was very smart and immediately asked: “Brother Dong, you mean just like a few months ago, we first gave Wharf Terminal Is the person next to me using the mouse pad for free?”
“Yes, Yiyi is smart. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Our products are new gadgets that did not exist in the world before us. If we want to promote them, we must let people use them first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to promote them."< br>
"Okay, let's make some sticky notes immediately." Su Yiyi said with a smile.
Yang Wendong also said: "Let's go together. In addition, the business of sticky mouse boards is not very good now. Liming, you can also arrange for people in the workshop to cut paper or glue, and they can do whatever they can. We won’t take long-term vacations unless these people can find some better part-time jobs.”
As a member of the lowest class who once lived in squatters, Yang Wendong also knows how afraid many people are of suddenly losing their jobs.
At the beginning, Yang Wendong and others were young people, and the pressure was not on themselves. However, those who had families and children could only keep their families from going hungry by working hard every day. In this case, let alone unemployment. , even if work does not start in the short term, the family will be severely affected.
Zhao Liming said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Well, everyone should work harder and make sticky notes famous as soon as possible. From now on, life will be easier for all of us. ." Yang Wendong said again.
He knew early on that the rodent control or pest control industry was seasonal. If the business did not do well in the first half year, it would be very troublesome in winter.
Fortunately, he successfully made some money in the summer by relying on the Japanese and British markets. Now he is relying on this money to develop sticky notes, and finally the connection is smooth.
“Yes, I understand.” Zhao Liming smiled and then went to the workshop.
Li Haoyu also brought over a box of yellow paper, which was the color Yang Wendong specially bought.
Yellow is the most eye-catching, and few people don’t like it.
The main sales force of post-it notes in later generations is also yellow.
Yang Wendong asked: "Are these papers quite expensive?"
Lin Haoyu said: "Yes, the ones in the box I have cost almost ten yuan. Paper in Hong Kong is very expensive, because They are all imported. The paper is shipped from the sea and is easy to be crushed or even absorb water, so it will be useless."
Su Yiyi nodded and said: "Yes, it is very expensive. I will keep the accounts. It’s all about saving a piece of paper, and I won’t stop until I use the empty space.”
“There is no way, there is no paper factory in Hong Kong, and the transportation cost of this thing is also high” Yang Wendong finished listening. Later, he also said.
Su Yiyi said strangely: "Why doesn't Hong Kong have a paper mill? I think every company needs one, and there are so many newspapers that also need paper."
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Papermaking is a heavily polluting industry, and the raw material required is wood, which is not available in Hong Kong. The auxiliary materials are many chemicals, which are not available in Hong Kong, so we cannot make it and can only import it."
In later generations of mainland China, people born in the 1970s and 1980s probably remember how expensive paper was when they were in school when they were children, and how frugally they used scratch paper.
Because there were very few paper mills in the mainland at that time, but now there are 0 paper mills in Hong Kong. Moreover, there are currently no containers in global shipping, and the transportation mode of bulk cargo results in costs that are ten or even dozens of times higher than those in the container era.
"Oh, so that's it." Su Yiyi nodded and said, "What a pity, otherwise our costs can be reduced a lot."
"It doesn't matter, post-it note, we We will take the high-profit route," Yang Wendong said with a smile. Su Yiyi asked in confusion: "High profit?"
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded.
Before, he didn't even plan for the machine, so he naturally didn't tell the people around him about his future plans; now he basically owed everything to Dongfeng, and it didn't matter anymore.
Then he said: "Actually, I want to take the high-profit route. This business is all about making money. It's just that the business environment in Hong Kong makes people think that doing business should be about small profits but quick turnover. This cannot be wrong, but it also depends on different situations.
Competition is fierce. In order to compete for the market, it is natural to follow the route of small profits but quick turnover. But I have only one product on the market, so of course it should be high profits. Without competitors, we should make a lot of money.”
Su Yiyi thought for a while and said, "Yes, Brother Dong, you once said that the factors that limit the price of sticky mouse boards are mouse traps and mouse poison; but with sticky notes, there are no competitors."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "That's pretty much what it means. Anyway, the main income we will make in the future will be the money of European and American ghosts. Earning more will be better for us Chinese."
Only with money can we drive the entire social group. Development, especially later, also requires a lot of funds.
Otherwise, no matter how creative you come up with, you won’t be able to develop a finished product. Not every creative idea is as simple as a sticky mouse pad and sticky notes.
Just like the Rubik's Cube, he didn't look up its structure on the Internet in his previous life. Now he can't find it through his own research. Later, when his company gets bigger, he will need to recruit a team of top students in mechanical structure to develop it.
Furthermore, purchasing equipment also requires a large amount of capital. Otherwise, creative ideas and patents may not be made, or mass production may not be possible.
And without sufficient economic and political influence, the patent may not be able to play its maximum role. After all, litigation is very expensive.
Another week later, dozens of people worked hard together and successfully produced thousands of sticky notes;
However, limited by the extreme operating capabilities of human hands, each sticky note also There are only 20 sheets, but this is enough for short-term use.
Although sticky notes are very good consumables, they are not consumed very quickly under normal circumstances. Some people can use 20 sticky notes for half a month and a month without any problem. Specifically, It depends on personal habits.
"Yiyi, are all the information on major Hong Kong companies that I asked you to collect?" Yang Wendong asked after placing the last box of sticky notes in his office.
Su Yiyi nodded and said: "Yes, I went to the Hong Kong stock exchange, found a scalper, and asked him for the contact information of the purchasing departments of some large companies in Hong Kong."
"Well, okay." Yang Wendong nodded and added: "Assign someone to write hundreds of instructions on how to use sticky notes, and then match one introduction with ten About a dozen sticky notes, and then sent to the purchasing or administrative departments of these large companies."
Su Yiyi already knew the plan and immediately said, "Okay, I'll do it right now."
A few days later, many large companies in Hong Kong received a lot of strange express delivery. When they opened it, they all contained some strange small yellow papers.
