Chapter 204 If you don't give me food, I'll turn the tables on you (sincerely asking for votes)

When her husband He Wenzhao first said that his cousin from the mainland was coming over, she was resistant.

There are many neighbors around, and relatives and friends come to live with us. If I don’t support them, I will be criticized, which makes the already difficult life even worse.

The world outside is really bad!
However, my husband's cousin only contacted them after he settled in Hong Kong. He met a noble person on the way here!
And the benefactor, as expected, is the tall, handsome guy at the back.

It makes people happy when they see it.

He Wenzhao didn't need to explain anything. She skillfully took the gifts, served tea and water, and warmly entertained her cousin and his benefactors.

Look at the way she dresses, and the car keys on her belt. These days, a car costs more than 300 yuan! Her husband's salary of yuan would take him three years to live without food or drink!
You are indeed a noble person!
When they met for the first time, both sides were very polite and just wanted to get to know each other. Li Zhong and He Wenzhao said they were cousins, but they were also strangers as it was their first meeting.

If they hadn't come in a small car with so many bags, the atmosphere wouldn't have been so harmonious.

Although they had briefly talked about their mutual relatives on the phone, they still had to chat about each other's well-being when they met. Then Li Zhong introduced how he had come here. Of course, he omitted the experience of PKing with the snakehead Wang Yuanchao. He Wenzhao and his wife also felt that this was about the same. This is how a successful person entering Hong Kong is.

He Wenzhao also talked about how he patrolled Dapeng Bay, caught the small boats carrying illegal immigrants, and repatriated those illegal immigrants.

He worked in the Marine Police for 9 years before becoming a senior police officer, and he still had to run around outside every day to make a living.

Patrolling the bay is not an easy job.

Li Zhong smiled and asked:

"Cousin, if you caught my boat while I was sneaking across the river, what would you do?"

He Wenzhao was silent for a while and said:
“I’ll arrest you honestly.

If I let you go, and there are so many people on the boat seeing me, and I get reported by others, I, a senior police officer, will probably be demoted."

Li Zhong's smile suddenly stopped. This is too...

He Wenzhao also felt that this statement was too decisive, and added:
"If I hadn't caught you, I could have helped you find some connections and let you go. Do you understand?"

Li Zhong was a little confused. What did it mean?
However, he quickly put the topic aside and wisely did not go deeper into it.

Senior police officers, can't you unite the police officers below you?

Will someone report it?

He could only come to one conclusion: his cousin's level was not good enough and was far worse than the captain!
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Has Officer He ever thought about uniting his colleagues?"

He Wenzhao smiled bitterly and said:
"Who wouldn't want to unite with colleagues? But I'm just a senior police officer, not a sergeant."

Li Zhong asked doubtfully:
"Cousin, don't you lead a patrol boat?"

He Wenzhao said:

“Occasionally, the sheriff arranges for me to take a boat. The sheriff can arrange for me and others as well.

So, the sheriff has the qualifications to unite everyone.

Because everyone is backed by various social groups, the sheriff also has to maintain good relations with the social groups.

Unless the sheriff himself is a gang leader, he would have the confidence to order anyone who disobeys to sit in the pond directly!"

Li Zhong nodded. He now understood. No wonder his cousin said that others would report him. He was only a temporary captain and was useless.

In the final analysis, my cousin is useless!
Wang Yuanchao said:

"Officer He, have you ever thought about continuing to make progress?"

He Wenzhao looked at Wang Yuanchao, his face showing a little hope, and said:

"I definitely want to make progress, but the cost of progress is too high and I can't afford it."

Li Zhongdao:
"Then cousin, didn't you join any clubs?"

He Wenzhao said:

"Why didn't you join? How can you get along without joining a club?
I am 14K, but there is no big guy in the society to support me. "

Speaking of which, he also felt depressed.

Li Zhong nodded. This price seemed a bit high. The society was unwilling to pay it. He asked curiously:
"What is the price?"

He Wenzhao said calmly:

"20."

Li Zhong was so scared that he shut up and started shaking. He didn't even know how many zeros there were after 20! He counted several times in his head, but couldn't count.

Wang Yuanchao didn't say anything. He had just arrived and had only seized more than 200,000 yuan. How could he directly surrender to someone he had only met once?
Besides, if something comes too easily, we won’t know how to cherish it.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, so take your time.

When the other party didn't respond, He Wenzhao understood.

He Wenzhao didn't think Wang Yuanchao could afford this price. This was not a small car! Wang Yuanchao might have some money, but it was far from enough.

Everyone changed the topic and talked about the current social environment and some situations of social societies. Mainly, He Wenzhao reminded them to pay attention that in Hong Kong, social societies are everywhere. After all, he is his cousin and he has just arrived. He has brought so many gifts. It is reasonable for him to take good care of him.

It’s a pity that he is a marine police officer, otherwise he could have taken care of the other person a little.

Wang Yuanchao listened with great interest and even gossiped with He Wenzhao about Chief Inspector Lui Lok and Lan Gang.

……

The bearded cousin is called Xiao Qi, and he works at the Longsheng Electric Fan Factory.

The Longsheng Electric Fan Factory is very small, with a 2000-square-foot factory building that is rented. There are 18 people including the boss and workers, and they can produce 500 units per month. Each unit costs about 150 yuan, and the ex-factory price is 160 yuan.

There is no way. The local products of Shell Electric Factory have a market price of only about 180 yuan, which is directly half of the imported products.

Small factories like these can only make their products cheaper in order to make a living.

At the end of January, the boss received a big order for 1 units.

The boss quickly recruited more staff, and the whole factory worked hard to catch up. As a result, at the beginning of the month, another factory snatched the deal away with a price of 150.

The fan factory needs to supply 500 units to existing sales stores every month. The difference in quantity will not be too big. This is the unshakable production plan.

Therefore, for this order, the boss borrowed an additional 25 yuan to purchase production materials, preparing to make a fortune!
If this order goes through, the boss can make a huge profit of 15,000 yuan! A car is a sure thing.

The other 5000 is to pay interest to the bank.

……

What Xiao Qi said was even more detailed than what Big Beard said. In the final analysis, it was because this factory had overproduced and the products were not sold well, so the boss had to stop production but not sales.

After hearing what Xiao Qi said, Wang Yuanchao felt that the factories of this era were indeed very simple. With tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, one could open a factory! However, he only earned two or three thousand a month, so it was no wonder that the boss was tempted by the large order of 2000 units. The factory building was rented; the equipment was second-hand; the core parts were all purchased; the whole thing was almost a small assembly workshop.

Because the bank's short-term loan had matured and they were pressing for payment, they had no choice but to sell the product to the previous sales store at a cheaper price.

But even if you sell it cheaper, people can't eat it, and not many are sold at all.

The current situation is that the goods are piling up in the company's hands, and the boss simply doesn't care about it. They are sold slowly, and they will be sold out in three or four months anyway.

The only loss is the bank's interest. It's like working for the bank for nothing.

But for the workers, without work and wages for several months, it has become difficult to support their families.

Rent, food and drink, which one doesn’t cost money?
Wang Yuanchao and Xiao Qi talked a lot about factories, equipment, suppliers, and sales channels.

Xiao Qi also knew everything, but he was just a worker and was not very clear about a lot of information. But soon, he called over his colleagues who were in charge of equipment maintenance and supply procurement. Anyway, everyone was unemployed now, so they could come here and get a few meals.

Except for sales, which are personally managed by the boss, the two people in charge of sales have not lost their jobs and have been running around every day recently.

But everyone also knows where the boss's goods are sold, because the workers are always required to deliver them.

Wang Yuanchao drove and followed these people to inspect the upstream and downstream of the electric fan factory. In a word, if the quantity is large, the cost will be much lower. If they can produce some parts by themselves, they can earn more. For example, the Shell Electric Factory owned by the electric fan king Weng Hu has an annual profit of millions!

The fan king at that time was not Liu Luanxiong, but someone he had never heard of.

But that doesn't stop him from being the electric fan king, with millions in annual profits!
You still have to find the market.

Production is not the problem, sales is.

Small workshops like Longsheng can only take advantage of the scattered scraps in the market.

Wang Yuanchao suddenly thought, is there any chance to do OEM for Shell Electric Appliance Factory?

Just earn a OEM fee, get the factory up and running, and then create your own brand? Many big factories started out as OEM companies.

Shell should not be short of market, right?
What's more, I don't expect to make any money, so it's like working for free!

So he asked Xiao Qi and others if they could contact the Shell Electric Appliance Factory, as he wanted to visit and learn from it.

Xiao Qi and the others were embarrassed. They were just ordinary workers in a small workshop. How could they contact such a big factory to visit? Did Boss Wang think too highly of them?
However, the worker in charge of purchasing said that he knew workers at Shell and might be able to help make the contact, but the workers he knew were just ordinary workers.

After finally getting in touch, the worker from Shell said:

"It's not that I won't help with matchmaking, it's mainly because we're so busy. How could I dare to cause trouble to my supervisor and say that someone else is coming to visit? Our supervisor is so busy that he doesn't even have weekends!"

Wang Yuanchao was delighted and worked very hard. Great! The production capacity is insufficient! I need someone to help me!

So he first followed Xiao Qi and others to visit the Longsheng Electric Fan Factory. The factory had stopped production and there were only two security guards. Xiao Qi and his friends were all workers, so they came to take a look and the security guards didn't stop them as long as they didn't take anything.

After a detailed visit to this small workshop, Wang Yuanchao had an idea in mind, so he printed a business card and went straight to the Shell Electric Appliance Factory.

He drove his car, took the ferry to Hong Kong Island, and told the security guard directly that he had an appointment with the factory manager.

When the guard saw that there was a car, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and let it pass.

He traveled smoothly all the way and met the director of the electrical appliance factory, the electric fan king Weng Hu.

Weng Hu was a little curious about the arrival of this young man. The other party claimed that he wanted to cooperate and could accept Shell's orders to solve Shell's problem of insufficient production capacity.

Shell’s production capacity is indeed insufficient and its products are in short supply, but not every unknown company like Longsheng Electric Fan Factory can get orders from Shell.

Wang Yuanchao said:
According to Shell's standards, Shell can treat Longsheng as one of its production workshops. This production workshop only makes 5 yuan for each set of products. Longsheng does not seek to make money, as long as it can meet the factory rent and workers' wages.

Because Longsheng has sufficient production capacity, but no market. We are all Chinese, and Longsheng just wants to do more for the Chinese.

In this way, every working Chinese family will be grateful to Shell.

Weng Hu smiled and said:

"Then I might as well just acquire Longsheng. And instead of acquiring Longsheng, I might as well just expand the production of Shell."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Boss Weng can certainly expand Shell further, but no matter how much it expands, Shell always has peak seasons and off-seasons. For peak season orders, Longsheng can get a smaller share of the profits, so Shell can make the most money and Longsheng can also support its workers.

I just hope more Hong Kong workers will pray for Mr. Weng.”

Weng Hu thought about it and thought that this young man probably wanted to learn the technology of making shells.

But if he does OEM for Shell, and the core components are provided by Shell, how much can he learn?
Moreover, the electric fan was hung on the roof, so safety was particularly important. He was worried because it was not produced by his factory.

The blades may break or fall off, which could be fatal.

He didn't want to cultivate a competitor, especially one so young and ambitious. He just smiled and said:
"Young man, don't always think about taking shortcuts. There are no shortcuts to success.

Shell Electric Factory has only produced two products to date: transformers and electric fans. Both of these were developed through my day and night research and study of excellent Western products.

Shell did not reach its current size all of a sudden; it has grown bit by bit.

Keep your feet on the ground, take one step at a time, and don't aim too high.

This is the most sound advice I can give you.”

The OEM plan ended unhappily.

Why is it so difficult to do something?

Wang Yuanchao had to use his brain. If the OEM plan failed, then he would do the Xiaomi integration plan.

So he simply hired Xiao Qi and a few others to keep an eye on Shell's suppliers and sales channels.

It's not about stealing someone else's girlfriend. Wang Yuanchao doesn't have that ability to do so at the moment.

He just wanted to see where people got the goods from and who they sold them to.

Whether he can get the goods that others get, and whether he can sell to the people who others sell to, it is nothing more than supply chain integration. At most, he can start purchasing at a slightly higher price and selling at a slightly lower price. He buys high and sells low, and slowly builds up his reputation.

Like Xiaomi, right?
He would disassemble the fan and find the most suitable supplier for each component. He did not need to produce the boom, motor, fan blades, and controller by himself, as he could have countless suppliers.

As long as the quantity increases, the purchase price will definitely be discounted in the end.

The cost of producing all kinds of parts will definitely be much higher than producing only the same parts.

He only needs to be responsible for quality inspection, assembly, debugging and quality management.

By then, the price of his products will definitely be more competitive than Shell’s.

Wouldn’t those merchants and companies that sell electric fans be willing to purchase products at a cheaper price?
Let Shell see what a price war is!
If you don't give me something to eat, I'll blame you!
