Chapter 353 The best-selling and investment expansion of woven bags
“That’s good, then the same brand will be promoted uniformly.” Yang Wendong smiled and asked: “What about the other two small household appliances? Electric fans and hair dryers. ?”
Wang Zhiqun replied: “The electric fan has been made and has been put on the market. Since there is nothing special about it, it is sold normally without too much publicity. Currently, it takes about one day in the Hong Kong market. We can sell several hundred units.
We mainly rely on overseas markets, including some Commonwealth countries and Japan and the United States. These local channels have just begun, but the order volume is already more than ten times that of Hong Kong. Sales will definitely increase by next year.
There is still a problem with hair dryers, that is, it is difficult to dissipate heat over time, so the structure has not yet been determined.”
"Well, okay, at present, Honor Appliances mainly focuses on these products. After they are all launched on the market and stabilized, we will proceed with the next step of research and development." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
With the current resources of Honor Electric, it is basically the limit to be able to develop several products simultaneously. The road must be walked step by step. When the strength becomes stronger, more can be added simultaneously. project development.
Of course, channels are also very important. The slow progress in the early stage has a lot to do with the imperfect channels.
The various developments of enterprises are actually balanced.
The time soon came to July, and the hot summer arrived again. This year, it has not rained in Hong Kong yet.
Under the scorching sun, Yang Wendong arrived at Changxing Industrial Park in Kwun Tong. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a few trees at the door. The trunks were a little yellow.
Wei Zetao saw the direction the boss was looking and could only say awkwardly: "Yang Sheng, it may be because the water shortage is too serious. Many plants in the factory are very dry."
"Well, it's okay. This person has no water to drink, and the plants are indeed more difficult." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "It's just that if it dries to death, it will be too difficult." What a pity."
Wei Zetao smiled and said: "I will ask someone to water the big trees in the field a little. Don't worry, Yang Sheng, the water used is the water used by the workers to wash their hands or wash the dishes in the kitchen. These can also be collected, otherwise it would be too wasteful to flow into the sewer."
"Okay." Yang Wendong also thinks it is okay.
In 1963, Hong Kong's various water supplies reached a very tight level. Even with Yang Wendong's strong support now, it can only be said that many people are not thirsty and have no water to drink. But think about it, in people's lives, there are still many things that are needed. With water.
Among water and electricity, water is the most important. Without the latter two, no one will die. It is also more important than food.
What’s more troublesome is that Hong Kong’s industry will also compete with the people for water. After all, industry cannot stop. If it stops, the loss will definitely not be this year, but will affect the future, because once the orders are transferred , then it’s gone.
Then the two came to a workshop inside the factory. A large number of snakeskin bags (plastic woven bags) were being produced here. Everyone was also very busy. Fortunately, there were Cool air.
Yang Wendong asked: "It seems that these plastic woven bags are selling really well."
"Yes, the sales volume is very high. All factories and businesses that need to transport large quantities of bulk goods need this kind of bag." Wei Zetao said with a smile: "This is cheaper than a wooden box, and it is very light and easy to transport;
Compared with cloth bags, they are stronger, waterproof, and cheaper. They are simply the most perfect transportation vehicle in industry and commerce. Not only in Hong Kong, the demand in many overseas markets is now very large. Basically, woven bags only need Appearing in that market, the market demand will skyrocket, just like the previous plastic bags. "There are many other manufacturers that can produce plastic bags now, right?" Yang Wendong asked.
Wei Zetao nodded and said: "Yes, many factories in Japan have also begun to produce polyethylene materials, which allows many small factories to produce plastic bags. We only bought a kind of polyethylene at the beginning. If others bypass our patents, we have nothing to do;
However, we basically maintain our own industrial chain, and the cost is still the lowest. In the entire market, we still have the greatest advantage.”
"Well, monopoly is indeed impossible." Yang Wendong said: "Even if the patent is in hand, some small factories can still produce, and there are many kinds of materials, and it is impossible to have an exclusive monopoly."
"Yes, but weaving We have creative patents for bags. "Wei Zetao added: "Recently, two companies from Japan and the United States have approached me. They want to purchase the authorized patent for woven bags. Yang Sheng, what do you think? "
"Have the price been negotiated?" Yang Wendong asked.
Wei Zetao replied: "This is not available yet, because I have not thought clearly about how to authorize it, and it is up to you to decide whether to authorize it or not."
"Authorization is also possible. , I agree to this." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Woven bags can improve the efficiency of social commodity transportation, and forced monopoly will only be targeted by various capitals and even the government;
Moreover, we in Hong Kong do not have the ability to supply the global market, so we might as well authorize it and let multiple large companies produce it together. This way we can maximize our profits, and they will also crack down on piracy for the sake of the market. ”
Even if you have a patent, you can’t always enjoy it exclusively. Let’s not say that the benefits are too great and the law will not be effective. Even if you can, if you insist on being alone, you may not have a good end, such as Little Japan in the previous life.< br>
By sharing interests, gathering alliances, and making the cake bigger, he will eventually eat more than if he had to eat alone.
Wei Zetao agreed and said, "Okay, then I will start preparing for it. Negotiate licensing cooperation with various overseas countries. "
"Well, OK, but we must also ensure our production capacity in Hong Kong. "Yang Wendong added: "Plastic bags and woven bags may not be very profitable, but the employment they generate is still amazing;
In addition, these two industries have just started. It happens that you are also negotiating with Wanwan to arrange a large factory there. Formosa Plastics happens to be located in Wanwan, which also saves the transportation costs in the middle. ”
“Good idea. "Wei Zetao said with a smile: "Speaking of Wanwan, I am also preparing to move part of the production capacity of trolley boxes, spin mops and sticky hooks there. As you said, it can save the transportation cost of plastic particles. In addition, Wanwan exports The United States and Japan have preferential tariffs, which are more cost-effective;
In the future, Hong Kong’s main production capacity will be supplied to the Commonwealth market and the Southeast Asian market. This is the best way for us to maximize our interests. ""Can. Yang Wendong nodded and said: "The factory in Wanwan, except for the previous paper mill, has no pollution. Then try to build the factory in the current suburbs of Taipei City, the closer to the city the better, even if it involves some demolition. Also persist. ”
Although my focus is my career, the objective fact is that if I build a factory and work hard for 20 years, the money I earn in the end may not be as valuable as the land beneath my factory
br>
In the future, land and housing prices in Taipei will also be very high, and it is estimated that it will rank among the top ten in Asia. Now that you can get cheap land, there is no reason not to get it.
"Okay, I understand." Wei Zetao smiled.
After that, several people also walked around the factory and saw a large number of woven bags that could bear 50Kg and 100Kg. After being packed, they were transported away. There were also trucks with a large number of trucks outside. wait.
"Not bad." Yang Wendong was also very happy and said with a smile: "Changxing Industrial has finally found a new profit point this year."
The value of the bag is very small, but the demand is compared to Post-it notes are much larger, and woven bags, although they cannot be degraded, are much stronger than ordinary plastic bags, and their economic and environmental effects on the human population are much less harmful than them.
If your own factory can produce products that drive the overall economic development of mankind, it also has a sense of honor.
"Yes." Wei Zetao said again: "Yang Sheng, there is one more thing. We have already made the bags for instant noodles that you asked for. In this workshop, there is a bag in that direction. A small machine.”
“Oh, let’s take a look.” Yang Wendong also became interested immediately.
If bagged instant noodles can be mass-produced, the entire market can be expanded several times in an instant. The most important thing is that they can find a breakthrough to enter the food industry.
A few people arrived quickly. There was a small machine here. Wei Zetao introduced: "Yang Sheng, this is a small packaging equipment customized by Dongsheng according to our needs. It uses plastic film as the raw material, and then cuts the ribbon. , care about high temperature melting and sealing, and the sealing can be completed. ”
"It's quite simple." Yang Wendong glanced at the equipment.
“I’ll let them demonstrate it.” Wei Zetao smiled, and then his men received instructions and immediately arranged for engineers to start the equipment;
Soon, sealed plastic bags were produced one by one. , Yang Wendong picked up one. The size was similar to the memory in his previous life.
Wei Zetao continued: "The food factory at Zhousheng's side has not been completely built yet. At present, it can only be produced based on the model. Once it is confirmed that there is no problem, Dongsheng will also make special production. The large-scale instant noodle production line will use assembly lines from flour to final packaging."
"Is this a big project? Does Dongsheng have this capability?" Yang Wendong asked.
The instant noodle assembly line may have been nothing in previous lives, but to Hong Kong now, it is considered high-tech.
"Yes, they are already drawing pictures." Wei Zetao said: "It is mainly because the instant noodles production process is too inefficient if we use people. We can only use equipment, otherwise it would not have been delayed for so long. It's time."
"Yes, I know." Yang Wendong nodded.
Although labor is cheap in Hong Kong, some industries are not suitable for intensive labor, so when it is time to use assembly lines, use assembly lines.
Wei Zetao took out another small bag of paper from the side, and then said: "Yang Sheng, look, this is the facial tissue packaging we discussed in Wanwan before. I also told Dongsheng that they will not do it in a few days. It’s done.”
"Let me take a look." Yang Wendong took the facial tissue package and looked at it carefully. It was similar to the previous life, and then said: "Don't use the sealing mode here. It's not that the food does not need to be absolutely sealed. If it is sealed, it will be difficult to open, and the customer will need to force it. Tear it open.
In this way, make an extra piece in front, and then put a little glue here and stick it together lightly. In this way, after the customer opens it, he can close the seal again to avoid the paper inside. It’s become dirty for a long time.”
These are social experiences from previous lives, but any experience is the result of the various ideas and technologies of countless people in an industry, which are mixed together and finally competed in the market. Best solution.
"Good method." Wei Zetao's eyes lit up: "Then I will inform Dongsheng immediately."
Yang Wendong nodded and asked again: "Now Dongsheng's strength is getting stronger and stronger. Strong? ”
Wei Zetao replied: "Yes, Dongsheng has now become our largest equipment supplier. Except for some high-tech equipment, everything else is basically made by Dongsheng.
It also relies on our financial support , and their R&D capabilities are getting stronger and stronger."
"It's a bit interesting." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "In this way, we can discuss with their boss and we can buy shares in their company. It doesn't require a lot. About 20% will be enough. In the future, we will support its development in the direction of equipment manufacturing.”
One reason for Hong Kong’s future industrial collapse is that equipment needs to be imported, which is a huge obstacle to industrialization. , if this problem is not solved, it will be impossible for the industry to rise.
Of course, Hong Kong also has many other problems, and it is impossible to retain its industry. However, if it has the ability to supply equipment in the next 20 years, it will also be of great benefit to itself. After the mainland opens up, such Technology factories can also be moved to China and then use the mainland's talents and markets to develop.
