Chapter 136 Media Attention
3M is about to happen, and the International Toy Fair in New York is about to begin, so Yang Wendong has calculated the time to come.
But if it weren’t for 3M, he wouldn’t have come to this exhibition.
On June 15, the last day of the exhibition, Yang Wendong came to the venue.
Lin Youjing, a person in charge of the exhibition: "Yang Sheng, Wei Sheng, for this exhibition, we have contacted a total of 19 overseas customers, but they are not very large. They started from us. This took away a total of 1200 Rubik's Cubes
In the future, they will put these Rubik's Cubes in their own stores for promotion. If there is any progress, they will contact us.
These customers are from the United States.”
“Well, OK, it’s good to be able to take this first step. "Yang Wendong listened carefully to Lin Youming's introduction and was quite satisfied.
Although there are giants in the toy industry, they are giants on the brand side. In terminal retail, there are basically no giants. If you want to To promote his products, he has to cooperate with many middle traders
As long as he can avoid traders in Hong Kong, that is enough for him at the moment.
Wei Zetao smiled and said: "Yang Sheng, I plan to let Xiao Lin stay in New York. One will be responsible for communicating with 3M, and the other can also develop the market for sticky mouse boards and Rubik's cubes. What do you think?"
" Okay," Yang Wendong naturally agreed.
When the business reaches this level, even if the overseas business still relies on various overseas dealers, it still needs its own people in the largest customer market; if it can become bigger in Japan and Europe in the future, it will also It will be the same.
Wei Zetao said: "Okay, I will report the specific budget to you separately."
"Well, OK." Yang Wendong glanced at Lin Youjing and said: "Lin You Jing, you are older than me, I can’t call you Xiao Lin like Lao Wei.”
"Yang Sheng just calls me by my name." Lin Youjing said with a smile.
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Okay, you can do one more thing for me when you come to the United States in the future."
"Yang Sheng, please tell me." Lin Youjing said.
Yang Wendong said: “Here in the United States, an industry called supermarkets has recently begun to emerge. Unlike traditional department stores, they do not rent properties to many small businessmen or companies;
< br>Instead, we purchase them together and sell them together, which is similar to a large grocery store. Please help me count some famous brands and the names of their founders.”
"Supermarket? Okay." Lin Youjing didn't ask any more questions. Just follow the boss's request. Unless you don't understand, don't ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's do it." Yang Wendong nodded, then looked at Wei Zetao and said, "Go back and rest, we will go back tomorrow morning."
Let Lin Youjing keep an eye on In the supermarket industry, it is naturally for the Wal-Mart supermarket that is about to appear, but Yang Wendong does not know where this Wal-Mart is now.
He only knew that the founder was Sam Walton, who had been running a grocery store business for many years before establishing Wal-Mart.
With only this information, it is a bit difficult to find people accurately. However, if you pay attention to the entire industry, it is very likely that Walton will be discovered as long as it grows in scale.
As far as Yang Wendong knows, Walton was heavily in debt when he started his business in the early days, and even later when he went public, he had to go public for financing because of too much debt. Maybe he could also have the opportunity to take a share in it.
Although Wal-Mart will be a giant in the United States in the future, the entire retail industry currently does not pay attention to supermarkets. After a period of time, your own funds are no longer tight, and you can invest a little in Wal-Mart, which is also profitable.
In fact, you can earn much more than investing in real estate in Hong Kong, even with leverage and even in the Central location.
On June 18, Yang Wendong and his party returned to Hong Kong. We arrived at the factory early the next morning.
Hong Xuefei came to report on the progress during this period: "Yang Sheng, Wei Sheng, the test of the sticky hook has been almost completed. At present, the pulling force of 5KG is completely no problem.
But this premise The wall surface is very smooth, and it cannot be painted, otherwise it still won’t work.”
Yang Wendong said: “Well, it doesn’t matter. We can’t change the physical properties. It is clearly described on the back of the packaging or sticker. , just tell me where it should be posted."
"Okay." Hong Xuefei agreed, and then said: "We have also developed the structure of the rotating mop, but the rotating effect is not that good. It should be a problem with the bearings;
I have arranged for people to buy bearings from Germany, the United States or Japan to see which one is suitable. Only after the decision is made, can we do subsequent tests. ”
"Bearings? You can only buy imported ones." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "How long is the test period behind this rotating mop?"
Hong Xuefei replied: "It may take 2-3 months, one is To test the bearings, we also need to test the structure of our structure over time. Will there be any problems after it grows?
After it is determined, we need to develop additional molds and prepare for production. According to our internal calculations, it will be much later than the sticky hook. ”
< br>"That's okay, we just need to launch the sticky hook first." Yang Wendong said.
The launch of a long-term civilian product also needs to be cautious. It must at least be verified before it can be launched on the market, especially things that people often use;
And now that Changxing Industrial's resources are more secure, it is better to launch new products one by one. Compared with 3M, which can control thousands of products, there is still a big gap on its side.
Hong Kong Galaxy Daily, in the editor-in-chief's office:
After reading a piece of information, editor-in-chief Li Rongshan looked up at the young man in front of him and asked in surprise: "These information are all true. Was the sticky note invented by Hong Kong people? The factory is still in Hong Kong? "Editor Li, this is the information I collected for more than a week." The young man said with a smile. Because about ten days ago, a friend of mine who lives in Tsim Sha Tsui came to visit me, and I was very kind to him.
When we chatted later, he told me that he wanted to join a factory called Changxing Industrial. The benefits of this factory are very good, and their new factory is very large and is under construction. They are already recruiting people in advance. Do you know how many people this factory plans to hire?”
"How much? A lot?" Editor-in-Chief Li asked subconsciously.
Ajun raised two fingers and said: "2,000 people."
"2000?" Editor-in-chief Li was startled.
Ajun added: "I was shocked when I heard this number. How many people are there in Hong Kong? Most of them still live on Hong Kong Island. The number near Tsim Sha Tsui is estimated to be around 100,000;
The recruitment of 2,000 people will probably affect many local people, and the boss of this company is really different from others. He is very good to his employees, and their food is better than..."
"Compared to what?" Editor-in-chief Li asked quickly when he saw that Ajun seemed to have something to hide.
Ajun paused and said: "It's better than what many office buildings in Hong Kong provide, and it's no worse than the coolies on the pier. It is said that the rice is enough to ensure fullness, and the portions of the dishes are also large, but it is not allowed. It’s a waste, everything else is very casual.”
“You know a lot, don’t you?” Chief Editor Li asked.
Ajun smiled and said: "After my friend told me about this, I went to Tsim Sha Tsui to investigate. Changxing Industrial is really a very good company for its employees;
Just because it is in Tsim Sha Tsui, there is not even a newspaper office there, so only people in the vicinity know about it.”
"Interesting." Editor-in-chief Li nodded and asked, "Who is this boss? Have you found out?"
"I only found out that the boss's surname is Yang. He is quite young. I don't know anything else." Found it." Ajun said awkwardly: "In the past few days, I have basically been asking for information outside the Changxing Industrial Factory, and what I can find is limited. "
< br>"Yes." Editor-in-chief Li thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will officially give you this task. Go to the customs to check the export data of Changxing Industrial, and go to the Hong Kong government to check the relevant information. One can create 2,000 jobs. The factory is enough to make the news.”
