Chapter 349 Small Packaging of Kleenex and Investment in Bay
Ma Jiayou said: "Yang Sheng, please tell me."
Yang Wendong picked up a pack of toilet paper next to him and said: "Let's go to the office next to us and talk. "
"Okay." Ma Jiayou also said quickly.
Afterwards, everyone went to the administrative building next door. After arriving in a conference room, all the irrelevant personnel left, leaving only Yang Wendong, Wei Zetao and Ma Jiayou.
Yang Wendong asked: "You all know facial tissue, right?"
"Yes." Ma Jiayou nodded and said: "It is a higher-end toilet paper, but it is more high-end in terms of processing or raw materials. It is mainly used to wipe hands. Or facial."
Wei Zetao asked: "Yang Sheng wants to make facial tissues?"
"Do you think it's okay?" Yang Wendong asked.
Wei Zetao and Ma Jiayou looked at each other, and Ma Jiayou said: "It is not difficult to make it. Even for high-end needs, we can import pulp from overseas;
But the problem is that facial tissue is a high-end consumer product, and the mainstream market is still in Europe and the United States. For mass production, we need to enter these places, which is much more difficult. "
"Yes, that's right. Yang Wendong nodded and added: "However, my idea is a little different. The main napkins on the market now are tissue paper, right?" ”
“Yes. "Wei Zetao said.
Yang Wendong added: "A piece of tissue paper is very large and suitable for use in restaurants, high-end offices, or rich people's homes, but what if it's on the road? what to do? "
"On the road? Ma Jiayou thought for a while and said: "You can still put paper in the car, but if you have it on you, you can only put a few in your pocket." ”
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "This is indeed possible, but toilet paper is easy to get dirty and messy when it is balled up in the pocket,
So my idea is that we can make a small package of facial tissue, which is probably smaller than The matchbox is bigger, and there are ten tissues in it, which is convenient for people to use. "
In this era, paper towels and the like are already available, but Yang Wendong discovered early on that there were no small facial tissues; it was just because they were not involved. paper industry, so he didn't come up with the idea.
Now that I have entered the papermaking industry, I will naturally come up with this idea. Although the small package of facial tissue is small, the market potential is very large, even far exceeding toilet paper.
“Make it smaller?” Ma Jiayou asked: “How to package it?”
Yang Wendong looked at Wei Zetao and said with a smile: "It depends on Old Wei. Old Wei, how is the food packaging we asked you to study in the meeting before?"
I was preparing to make instant noodles before, and wrote on the paper When there is no advantage in quality packaging barrels, the only choice is the plastic bag packaging mode, which is a brand new category market.
This task was naturally handed over to Changxing Industrial, which is good at plastic products.
Wei Zetao replied: "The plastic packaging has been made, and we are still discussing the packaging size, external text, and pictures with Zhou Sheng. Once agreed, we can customize the equipment and try it out. "Produced."
Yang Wendong nodded and asked: "Is there any problem with packaging this kind of tissue?"
Wei Zetao said: "It should be no problem. Such packaging will only be simpler. As long as Ma Sheng gives me the dimensions, I can make the sample within a few days."
Ma Jiayou also said: " I will also make such tissues soon, and the external packaging will be available soon."
"Okay." Yang Wendong said with satisfaction: "Then you will cooperate as soon as possible. There are no special requirements for producing a finished product, as long as it is easy to use, and then register the patent as soon as possible, and then you can prepare for mass production. "
The technology itself for this kind of creative product is mature, as long as the idea comes out. Yes, it’s made quickly.
In the past few years, I was trapped by various external environmental reasons. Many creative products could not be made, or I could make them but did not have enough resources, so I did not propose them;
Now that the Changxing Group is getting larger and larger and involves more and more industries, it is natural that it can continue to "innovate".
"Okay." Both Wei and Ma agreed.
At noon, Yang Wendong, Wei Zetao and the people they brought with them all had a light meal in the factory.
After the afternoon, Yang Wendong came to another section of the factory, which is a large area of chemical sewage. Treatment area, a lot of smell coming from a pool.
Ma Jiayou introduced: "Yang Sheng, the five pools here, from left to right, are used to gradually purify sewage. Some are specifically for heavy metals, some are specifically for neutralizing organic compounds, and some are for neutralizing and acidic and alkaline, by the time the water on the far right reaches the level that can be discharged into the sea.”
"Well, the one on the right does look much better. There are no bubbles and various colors." Yang Wendong also saw the color of the water in the five pools from a height. Ma Jiayou said: "Yes, but it looks normal, but in fact it is still somewhat toxic. It can only be said that if it is discharged into the sea, after being diluted by sea water, the harm will not be so great."
"Well, okay, just follow the legal provisions." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "All employees who may be exposed to chemical substances should have their treatment improved. In addition, strict physical examinations will be carried out.
If there is no one here in Wanwan, I have prepared to build a private hospital in Hong Kong, and then they can be sent to Hong Kong for physical examinations. ”
Although he is a big capitalist and puts profit first in everything, he cannot make money that harms the health of customers, employees, or the environment. There is no need for it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more fun to specialize in real estate speculation?
Moreover, as long as it is tied to the interests of everyone, even the workers will work wholeheartedly, so that the quality of the products and services will be better.
"Okay." Ma Jiayou agreed: "I will let the personnel department make detailed arrangements."
After viewing the paper factory, Yang Wendong, his family and his subordinates came to the factory. About 25Km from Taipei City.
The traffic was not very good along the way, and the cars were bumping around. It happened to rain again, and the car almost got stuck in a mud puddle once.
“The infrastructure in this bay is still not very good.” Yang Wendong said.
Wei Zetao replied: "Yes, the economic development here in Wanwan is about ten years behind Hong Kong. In terms of infrastructure, several cities are OK, but the suburbs are very poor."
" Well, fortunately, Wanwan is not very big, and the factory we chose is close to the sea, otherwise it would be a headache for infrastructure," Yang Wendong also said.
The economy of Wanwan in this era may be similar to that of the inland coastal areas in the early 1980s. It is not very good, but it can also invest in some industries appropriately, and there are many rich people here. .
Wei Zetao said: "Actually, if it weren't for the pollution, it would be okay to build a factory near Taipei City. Officials here in Wanwan have also approached me several times and want us to prosper. "We can also consider investing in and building factories in Wanwan." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Many basic industries in Japan are much better than those in Hong Kong, and Wanwan's products are exported to the United States and Japan. There are also certain tax incentives, and the local government may also have subsidies or free land policies. If these conditions are negotiated and it is more cost-effective than Hong Kong, then it will be no problem.”
Large groups generally will not exhaust their production capacity in one place. Diversified production is also one of the key points that large groups need to consider.
The first is due to market and production needs, such as tariff reasons, transportation reasons, etc. The second is risk issues, such as natural disasters, political turmoil, etc. are all reasons.
Of course, as a time traveler, Yang Wendong also knows that these are not available, but there are still some unavoidable risk factors.
For example, in the past, after Hong Kong's industry took off, Europe and the United States repeatedly sanctioned Hong Kong's toy industry and textile industry. Although the Hong Kong government later negotiated to allow these countries to lift the sanctions, in recent years losses also exist.
Now that we are driving Hong Kong's industrial development faster, there is a high probability that we will encounter such problems.
At this time, if we have industrial bases elsewhere, we can transfer production capacity to avoid a serious blow to the entire group.
Wei Zetao agreed and said: "Okay, then I am going to negotiate with Wanwan. I wonder what other requirements you have, Yang Sheng?"
Yang Wendong thought for a while. Said: "When choosing a site, try to locate it in Taipei or around some big cities. The area should be larger. If we invest in Wanwan, we will not build industrial buildings like those in Hong Kong. Just build one floor and get some land for greening.”
Although the future real estate market in Wanwan will not be as crazy as that in Hong Kong, the advantage is that it is very early and the real estate market in Wanwan is wild. During this period, there were still a lot of wastelands, open spaces or agricultural lands on the edges of major cities.
Just like in the 1980s, do you want to build a factory in Pudong, Shanghai? The land on the Huangpu River is up to you
Moreover, the Bayan government is different from the Hong Kong government. They care about industrial development and employment, so investment in large factories and land are easy to negotiate. If I don't take the opportunity to ask for more, wouldn't I be sorry for their kindness?
Besides, if you invest by yourself, at least in the next two decades, it can bring a lot of tax revenue, employment and economic power to the local area, and both parties will benefit together.
"Okay, I understand." Wei Zetao nodded.
He naturally knows what his boss means. In Hong Kong, this is how his group operates. While operating normally, it hoards as much land as it can.
After a while, the motorcade arrived in the center of Taipei City, and a large number of high-rise buildings appeared in front of them.
"It's better than Kowloon, but not as good as Hong Kong Island." Yang Wendong commented.
Wei Zetao said: "Yes, but I heard that the Bayan government does not allow foreign investment in real estate, which is a pity."
"Invest in Bayan real estate?" Yang Wendong asked again: "Isn't it also allowed to invest in commercial real estate? For example, office buildings?"
Wei Zetao said: "No, the law does not allow it. It only allows investment in factories. However, there are loopholes because foreign capital can purchase part of the shares of some local companies."
Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: " Well, you might as well consider it.”
