Chapter 97 Production at full speed, making money at full speed

The Spring Festival passed quickly.

Hong Kong does not have much of a New Year flavor. Like the mainland in later generations, the Hong Kong government also banned the setting off of firecrackers and firecrackers in many places, because during the Spring Festival in the early years, many places caused fires because of this. There are many wooden houses.

Each family will prepare a little more delicious food, but they basically only keep it at home. In Hong Kong today, there are very few visiting relatives, because most Hong Kong people are from outside.

February 12th, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, most Hong Kong factories have started working. Under such a bad economic environment, ordinary workers obviously have no right to take vacations, and they don’t even have weekends. Know.

Yang Wendong first came to his old factory. At this moment, a truck was on standby, and several other people were dismantling the sticky note equipment here and transporting it to the new factory.

Zhou Xianlong was directing when he suddenly turned around and saw his boss, who also came over with a smile: "Yang Sheng, first of all, I wish you a happy New Year."

"The same goes for you." Yang Wendong nodded. , asked with a smile: "Can all these equipment be moved in one day?"

Zhou Xianlong replied: "Yes, our equipment is not very big. There are 6 devices here, divided into two times."

"Hmm." Yang Wendong asked again: "That dong Where is Sheng? When will their equipment arrive?”

The previous agreement with Dongsheng was on the eighth day of the new year, but this is the last day. Normally it will be a few days earlier. The specifics can only be known in the next few days.

Zhou Xianlong replied: "On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which is the day after tomorrow, the first batch will be ten, and the next 20 will also be divided into two batches, and they will all be delivered before the Lantern Festival."

"Well, Fortunately, we have already rented a new factory, otherwise it would be too crowded here," Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Originally when he ordered the equipment, he planned to transport it here. If it is crowded, it can be placed, but it will be very confusing.

Zhou Xianlong smiled and said: "It can be placed, but it takes up too much space, so the production of sticky mouse boards will be difficult."

"Originally, if the funds were not in place, we would have put the equipment here." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Sticky mouse boards can be produced anywhere, just rent an ordinary place."

Everything You must prepare in advance, but preparing in advance also involves uncontrollable risks, so you must also consider what will happen if funds or other resources are not in place?

This is also summed up by Yang Wendong’s experience and lessons from doing business in his previous life.

You definitely have to count on a loan, but if you really can’t get it or you can’t get the amount you need, you need to have a backup plan.

Zhou Xianlong agreed: "If this is the case, the company's production capacity will inevitably be greatly affected."

Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Well, it's just a delay of a few months. After the business has been running for a period of time, the funds have returned, and with profits, we can expand as we do today.

Bank loans are just advanced. Our operations cannot determine our life or death.”

Having said that, time is actually very important to him today, or in other words, to entrepreneurs and wealthy people. is very important.

Money can be earned at any time, but it will disappear as time passes. It may not matter for a few months now, but it may indirectly lead to missing many good opportunities in the future.

Therefore, if you should use bank funds, you should still make full use of them, not to mention if you enter the real estate industry in the future.

Zhou Xianlong smiled and said: "That's true. However, our products are so popular, anyone with some discernment should be optimistic about it."

"That's right." Yang Wendong smiled and added: "This car is about the same. , how will you go there later?"

Zhou Xianlong was suddenly embarrassed, and then said: "Yang Sheng, how about you go over as the co-pilot of the truck? I can sit in the back of the truck with a few colleagues." 
"You should have been the co-pilot, right?" Yang Wendong paused and said, "You guys just do what you want. I just called a rickshaw. Follow me today."

"That's good." Zhou Xianlong breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Wendong added: "Just wait a little longer. After a while, the company will buy cars, and it will be much more convenient for everyone."

In this era, there are two things that Yang Wendong is most uncomfortable with. The first thing is that I don’t have a mobile phone and the Internet, and the second thing is that I don’t have a car, especially after my career becomes bigger.

Relatively speaking, the Internet may be more important, but there is absolutely no way to change this. We can only accept our fate. Cars can.

Last year was just a period of business development. Even though the sticky mouse board made him earn tens of thousands of dollars in the summer and he could afford to buy a car, he needed to prepare for the production of sticky notes later, and the funds were simply not enough.

Zhou Xianlong suddenly said: "Yang Sheng, you can actually consider buying a second-hand car, three to five thousand is enough.

This small amount of funds will have little impact on us. The capital supervision team at Liao Chong Hing Bank should not care about this matter, or may turn a blind eye. ”

“Used car? That's fine. "Yang Wendong thought about it and thought it was okay.

Although Liao Chuang Hing Bank's risk control is relatively loose, it may only be a little looser in terms of quota, and basic fund use monitoring is still in place.

Factory Application The funds after the loan must be in other people’s bank accounts Everyone knows what you buy in the house, and there is supervision. Otherwise, if you use it to speculate in real estate or even run away, the bank will lose money.

Unless the collateral is sufficient, make an appointment in advance regardless of the use. , or achieve the goal through some unconventional means

Borrowing for the purpose of expanding production can be used to buy a car. Maybe it's okay to expand your relationship, but it's not necessary. As long as you wait a little longer and wait for the funds to flow back, it will be fine if you have your own money in the account.

Zhou Xianlong said with a smile: "With the development of the company, one car will definitely not be enough in the future. Buy a second-hand one first. When Yang Sheng gets a new car later, this one can be used as a bus for normal travel." 
"Okay, let's go take a look when we are done these days." Yang Wendong nodded and said.

This is also a small matter. As long as we survive the recent period, the company's funds will improve significantly in the future, and buying a car or a house will be just a small problem.

Don’t talk about bank loans. It is estimated that there will be no big investment projects in the future, so the funds in the account will definitely be sufficient. Post-it notes and mouse pads are products that are of positive help to life and work. It will definitely bring you huge profit returns easily and continuously.

However, even if you are doing business, as long as you have a good direction, you can definitely use bank money, or you should use bank money.

If this is not possible, it is also a good choice to simply hoard high-quality land and high-quality properties. Although the real estate market has not yet reached the stage of super explosion in the next few years, because of this, many future prime land , in this era, it might just be in the wilderness, and the price is very cheap!

......

When Yang Wendong's rickshaw pulled him to the new factory building, he saw Zhou Xianlong again, directing the forklift to unload equipment.

Yang Wendong did not look at this process any longer, but went inside the new factory.

"Brother Dong." Zhao Liming walked out and happened to meet Yang Wendong who was about to go in.

Yang Wendong asked strangely: "Why are you here? Didn't the old factory make sticky mouse pads for you?"

The future plan is that the new factory here will be used to produce sticky notes. The purely handmade mouse-stick boards were placed in the former factory, which was managed by Zhao Liming, and by the way, he could also recruit people in the squatters.

Zhao Liming smiled and said: "My place relies on labor. After the small extrusion equipment from Dongsheng arrived, the factory efficiency has become higher and my work has become easier. I come here to see it when I have time." Look."

"Oh, there are really two brushes over there in Dongsheng!" Yang Wendong smiled.

Dongsheng has really solved a lot of problems for himself. Otherwise, the equipment cannot be produced locally, and his ordering efficiency from Japanese companies will definitely be slow and expensive.

Even the production of sticky mouse boards, they can help with professional advice.

However, of course there are benefits. Yang Wendong’s many equipments can also make them a lot of money, and there will only be more in the future... Zhao Liming asked again: "Brother Dong, listen to what Lao Zhou said, The current production model can only meet the needs of the short term, and it will definitely not be enough in the future. They may have to look for a larger factory

So this factory here may produce sticky mouse boards for me in the future? ”

Yang Wendong thought about it and thought it was possible, so he said: "It's really possible."

Future plans can only be short-term, because once production capacity increases, there is a high probability that the existing factory buildings will not be enough. , whether it’s a sticky note or a mouse pad.

There is no way. A year or even a few years before any popular product appears, there will be a problem of insufficient production capacity, so new factories must be added continuously.

Even the Apple empire decades later, coupled with professional foundries like Foxconn, took several years to solve the production capacity problem of Apple mobile phones, but every time it was updated or the iPad appeared, There is not enough time to produce.

Unless you are very rich now, you can build a very large factory at once, but such an investment is not feasible even if you have money, because of the lack of people, and a large number of skilled workers are the core of product quality, otherwise Rapid expansion of production leads to quality problems, and the consequences will be even more troublesome.

You can only proceed step by step. When you have sufficient funds, you can prepare your own stable and long-term factory.

Of course, this premise is that there are no new products. If Yang Wendong is reminded of future hot products that meet the needs of this era, he will inevitably face the same problem as now, and it may even be more serious.

“Haha, that would be great.” Zhao Liming smiled and said, “It’s just that it’s a bit far from the squatters, brothers. It's a long way to go."

Yang Wendong thought for a while and said with a smile, "It's okay. We can also find a place to build a factory near the squatter house in the future. We will talk about it later."

Although from now on. In terms of market potential, sticky mouse pads cannot compare to post-it notes, but this will also be one of my future industries. I will not give up the old ones just because there are more profitable ones. After all, there is no contradiction.

Also, from the perspective of stimulating the number of jobs, the ability of sticky notes is much stronger than that of sticky notes. One prerequisite for being able to gain a stable foothold in Hong Kong in the future is to control enough employment; employment is the cornerstone of any government's stability, as long as If employment is controlled, security will be greatly improved.

Since he wants to provide employment, he naturally hopes to take care of the most vulnerable group in Hong Kong: squatter residents. At the same time, the labor cost for this group will be relatively low.

"That's good." Zhao Liming then said: "Brother Dong, I've just walked through this place. I'm familiar with it. Can I take you around again?"

"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded. He could leave without anyone, and he wouldn't refuse if someone was there.

After the two entered the factory, Yang Wendong discovered that it was completely different from before the last New Year.

Zhao Liming said: "I just had a chat with the guard. During the Chinese New Year days, workers came to work. In less than half a month, all the wiring here was laid and the sanitation was basically cleaned. , only the warehouse house has not been completely built yet Okay."

Yang Wendong nodded and said: "The warehouse is not in a hurry, anyway, our production capacity will not increase so quickly in the early stage."

"It seems that Brother Dong has made all the calculations in advance. "Zhao Liming smiled: "Brother Dong, I am now It all feels like a dream now. We have changed so much in the past year.

I am really afraid that one day I will wake up and find that I am still in the same dormitory a year ago. House, all this is just a dream!”

"Dream?" Yang Wendong asked with a smile: "How dare you have such an exaggerated dream a year ago? Have hundreds of people under your command? Can you eat meat every day? Have a 6-foot-long Simmons for you to sleep on? Can you still sit on it when traveling far away? Rickshaw or taxi? ”

Zhao Liming touched his hair in embarrassment: "Yes, more than a year ago, I would never have dreamed of such a thing."

"Sometimes, reality is even more unreal than dreams, maybe more Horrible, maybe even better." Yang Wendong shrugged, then thought for a moment and said, "But if it's really a dream, then congratulations to you?"

"Congratulations to me for returning to the squatter? ?" Zhao Liming was very puzzled.

Yang Wendong smiled and said: "If you have all this in your dream, then when you wake up, you can also embark on the road of entrepreneurship. Don't forget to take care of me then, haha~" 
"." Zhao Liming was stunned for a while and said: "Brother Dong, please stop joking. Even if I have these thoughts, I don't have the ability to do as well as you!"

"Just kidding, don't think about this." Yang Wendong returned to normal and said: "You and I have come out of the squatters, but there are still too many poor people in the squatters.

Although we can't It is within our power to give them a different place to live, but also give them a better and more stable job.

I will have many other things here in the future, so I will leave this to you. Even if we do the boarding work, we will give it to you The position prepared by the house group.”

“Well, I understand what Brother Dong means. Brother Dong, you are the one who wants to do bigger things. Just leave this kind of thing to me and Haoyu. It just so happens that we also do it. Nothing else." Zhao Liming nodded, and then said: "We can only produce, what about the market?"

Yang Wendong said: "I will be responsible for this first. You will be able to do it later. Leave it to you.”

"Okay." Zhao Liming smiled.

Yang Wendong added: "In the future, there may be other jobs that require a large number of ordinary people to be recruited. When the time comes, I will also place them near the squatters so that more people can be recruited." 
“What job?” Zhao Liming asked.

Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "I don't know either. Let's talk about it later."

There is a big gap between the life in the past life and the present life, and there are many things that are not available in this era;

br>

However, most of the things are somewhat technical and related to the times. They are difficult to make and require a lot of capital investment.

Furthermore, it would be difficult to promote products like sticky notes and mouse pads that are of great direct help to life and work.

In this era, there is no self-media traffic. If a product cannot attract people at first sight, it needs to rely on powerful channels for promotion.

However, as I have more and more funds, even if I can’t make a hit small creative product in the future, as long as I find the right direction and do normal business, I can still create a lot of jobs.

"Oh." Zhao Liming didn't think much about it.

After the two walked around for a while, when they came back, all 6 pieces of equipment had already got off the car and were being installed.

Zhou Xianlong and Wei Zetao seemed to be discussing something together. After seeing Yang Wendong coming, they stepped forward. Zhou Xianlong smiled and said: "Yang Sheng, the electricity has been turned on. There will be trial production for one day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow." Production is now ready. '

"The day after tomorrow?" Yang Wendong counted the days: "Just in time, Dongsheng's equipment is coming."

Zhou Xianlong nodded: "Yes, the time is very tight. "

"Okay, then it will be harder during this period," Yang Wendong said: "When the equipment is ready, it will be time for us to work hard on production."

Zhou Xianlong smiled and said: "Yes, Yang Sheng, in addition, in terms of personnel, we have recruited a total of 28 employees. All of them can understand some basic Chinese characters and numbers, but the average salary is a little higher than before."
 Yang Wendong said: "Now that you can read, it is natural that your salary should be a little higher, otherwise it would be useless to know the words? As long as it meets the normal market value."

It is different from the sticky mouse board. , the production side of sticky notes still needs people with slightly stronger understanding ability.

Although literacy equals strong understanding, any normal company will not take the time to identify it. This is why in the past life when mainland college students were everywhere, large companies directly set the first number when recruiting. One degree.

Zhou Xianlong nodded: "Okay, in the future, when more equipment is available, we will continue to recruit people according to this standard."

"You just need to negotiate with Lao Wei." Yang Wendong didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't care much about these little things now, he just needed to know roughly.

In the next few days, the 6 moved Japanese equipment ran smoothly and normally. The 10 pieces of equipment sent from Dongsheng had a small problem, but it was quickly resolved.

With 16 pieces of equipment, full-speed production mode started immediately.

After that, another 20 units also entered the market one after another. The entire Changxing Industrial began full-scale production, and each sticky note produced was a piece of Hong Kong dollar cash.
