Chapter 208 So profitable?

For two consecutive months, the streets of Hong Kong were bustling with beautiful scenery everywhere. Many factories were affected. The larger the factory, the greater the impact, and some even stopped production.

Shell is no exception.

On the contrary, small workshops with more than ten or even dozens of employees were the least affected.

Mr. Longsheng’s electric fans were actually in great demand, and the price went up to 200 yuan!
Who could have imagined this?

This made him very upset. Why did they stop production in April and lay off the workers?

How much more would you earn if you were operating at full capacity?

Now he is making a profit instead of a loss, so he started working immediately. He doesn't ask for a large number, 500 units is enough, so he can't make a loss.

He still didn't dare to expand production because it would be unsafe to have too many people.

Several workers who were poached by Wang Yuanchao were recruited back from other places.

Foreign trade companies that have business dealings with Shell also called based on the business card Wang Yuanchao had left behind and requested an on-site inspection.

Shell, as the largest electric fan manufacturer, has stopped production. They really need the products now. They can't help but make money, right? They can make some money at the purchase price of 200 yuan.

More than one company came to inspect, and Wang Yuanchao chose the one that cooperated with Shell, the largest one, because they wanted to grab Shell's rice bowl.

The foreign trade company inspected the Longsheng factory and expressed deep concern about Wang Yuanchao's previous promise. How much goods can such a small workshop supply?

It is totally unable to fill the gap left by the shell.

And now Longsheng's factory price is 200 yuan! It is the end of June, and the hottest months of July and August are coming soon.

If you make less, just make less.

The foreign trade company stated that it could sign a purchase agreement with Longsheng and accept goods according to the 200 standard, requiring the products to be qualified and accepting as many as possible.

Wang Yuanchao then said that he had to sign an acquisition agreement with Shenlan.

Because Shenlan has many small factories like Longsheng.

Wang Yuanchao shamelessly took the foreign trade company to visit several other small factories, all of which were similar in size to Longsheng.

The foreign trade company looked better.

It seems that Boss Wang in front of him also has some means.

Break the whole into pieces!

Under the current circumstances, I have to say that it is much safer than large factories.

It’s okay to have means, as long as you have the goods.

But Wang Yuanchao said that the product is in short supply now and he wants to pay more!

If he didn't pay more, Wang Yuanchao was worried that these suppliers would stop supplying him. It was also great to sell the products made by others in Hong Kong!

Now is a seller's market, and the foreign trade company had no choice but to sign a cooperation agreement with Wang Yuanchao:
The price is US$37, which is equivalent to HKD 211.4.

If the price of motors and other parts of the foreign trade company increases, the price of Deep Blue's products will increase simultaneously.

Yes, the motor is also from this company, and you can directly exchange it for goods.

Pay a 30% down payment, Shenlan will start placing orders for production, and the payment will be cleared upon delivery of the goods.

Yes, many motors, capacitors and other products are sold by foreign trade companies. Before, Xiangjiang was just a cheap large assembly plant.

Wang Yuanchao naturally also had to look for suppliers from various manufacturers.

Although everyone tried their best to produce the parts themselves, the efficiency was really low when one person was responsible for the entire production and installation. Most of the time, the machines and equipment were just sitting there idle. So we did not refuse to continue to help Shenlan process parts. The machines were just sitting there anyway, so it was a matter of hiring a few more workers.

And Deep Blue expressed its willingness to pay in US dollars!

At this time, the US dollar is much more useful than the Hong Kong dollar. The Hong Kong government has stopped exchanging Hong Kong dollars for British pounds and US dollars. If Hong Kong is no longer in its hands, the Hong Kong dollar will be just a pile of waste paper.

And on the black market, the exchange rate is terrifying.

Deep Blue is also willing to increase the price by 10% simultaneously.

In order to earn US dollars, you have to take orders. None of the small bosses are fools.

The foreign trade company couldn’t raise prices like Shenlan, so it immediately raised prices for other companies that came to purchase motors. It had to make up for it somehow, right?
What Wang Yuanchao needs to do is quality control, and efficiency is not so important at this time.

With his assembly line design - there is no conveyor belt yet, but the workers are responsible for their own duties and are responsible for the installation of one or several parts, and then another person checks and sends the semi-finished product to the next person, realizing human transmission - even if there is an inspection link in the middle, the efficiency is much faster than before when one person installed from start to finish.

The inspectors are the women, and they are rewarded for finding problems. Naturally, the installers' wages must be deducted. The installers have nothing to say in rebuttal, because they didn't do their job well.

The wages of female workers are about 30% lower than those of male workers, so they check very carefully and can earn a little more.

The last step is the finished product testing, which requires a day and a night of testing to listen to any unusual sounds before packaging.

For the same production line, we also need to select some to install fan blades and carry out actual operation. When the opportunity comes, we must seize it and build a good reputation.

At the beginning, Shenlan Electric Appliance Factory could assemble 300 sets a day. As the manual assembly line became more mature, it can now assemble 500 sets!

Because Wang Yuanchao is strict with quality control, the cost of a set is currently only around US$10, even if the supplier is charged a 25% markup, while the purchase price from the foreign trade company is as high as US$37.

If it operates at full capacity, Wang Yuanchao can earn US$18, or about HK$102 million, per month.

Damn it, it’s better to open a factory to make money!
How much is the little bit of gold he worked so hard to get worth?

Of course, if it weren't for the Hong Kong scenery, he wouldn't have made this much money. He had planned to start a price war before, and he could only make one or two dollars per unit, only one-tenth of what he makes now! And what did he pay?

The assembly plant only needs to pay rent, and each small workshop is responsible for the equipment. The core equipment can be directly deducted from the foreign trade company, and the foreign trade company also pays in advance... He only needs to give each small workshop some deposit, and the down payment from the foreign trade company is more than enough.
-
The Deep Blue Assembly Plant had just gotten back on track when, early in the morning of July 7, the Hong Kong government suddenly flew the flag at half-mast.

The newspaper reported that an armed conflict broke out in Sha Tau Kok yesterday. Five John soldiers and police officers died heroically and several people were injured, but the situation in Hong Kong was stabilized.

Zhou Qibang called:
"Mr. Wang? How's business?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Thanks to Mr. Zhou's care, everything went well."

Zhou Qibang was silent for a while and said:
"42 British soldiers stationed in Hong Kong died."

Wang Yuanchao was stunned. Lawyer Zhou must be quite powerful. How could he know such news? Didn’t the newspaper only mention five of them?!

He really didn't know that there was such a conflict in history!
42 is a big number! It is not the same as 5.

But that is all in the past.

Wang Yuanchao said stubbornly:
"So, after all these days, has Hong Kong lost an inch?"

Zhou Qibang was stunned.

His father and elder brother informed him and his wife to pack their bags and go to Yizhou to escape the summer heat.

How could he not know that the situation was not good?

He had just used his own money to buy several houses on Xiangjiang Island. Wouldn't he lose all his money?

When asked, the eldest brother said that on the 8th, there was a conflict in Sha Tau Kok, and 42 people died, many of them were rioters.

There is nothing to hide anymore.

He instantly felt like he had lost the bet.

He still believed in Wang! Yuan! Chao!

Without his help and introduction, would Wang Yuanchao's company have been so successful? He also cashed out the assets of their Chinese Bank!
He was furious, but he had no chance to seek justice from Wang Yuanchao. But he had to call and tell Wang Sheng the bad news, so that Wang Sheng would be angry, terrified, and worried that the money he had just invested would soon be lost. He had to let him know the feeling of having nothing and no way to escape!

People were able to sell at a discount before, but now, a ghost is here to take over!
But he was stunned by Wang Sheng's calm question just now.

Yeah, John, the military and police beat him so badly, did Hong Kong lose an inch?
Hong Kong is so small that an inch would seem huge. And you let them get away so easily? You must be crazy!

Zhou Qibang's expression immediately relaxed and he said with a smile:

"I'm just telling you, what the newspaper says may not be true!"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I think John has learned his limits and other people's bottom line. As long as John doesn't go too far, I think Hong Kong is still safe!"

Zhou Qibang nodded unconsciously and asked:
"Now that it has come to this, why don't they take Hong Kong back?"

Wang Yuanchao paused and said:

"Everyone needs to produce and build, everyone needs to develop, and they also need things from the outside to come in. Hong Kong is such a hub for communication between China and the West, so Hong Kong is safe, but John Lao also needs to be warned and warned, and he needs to know the limits and their value, right?"

Zhou Qibang laughed:

"Now that you put it this way, it's much more thorough than what you said the other day, hahahaha."

It was simply that this time there was ironclad facts to verify Wang Yuanchao's words.

Wang Yuanchao also said:
"What you told me today was also quite thorough."

Zhou Qibang was extremely impressed with this little brother and said:

"I'll treat you to tea when I'm done with this!"

……

After comforting Zhou Qibang, small bosses like Longsheng also came over.

Earlier, Wang Yuanchao used US dollars to tempt everyone to work at full capacity and produce as much as possible, but the news in the newspapers made small bosses like Longsheng a little panicked. Are they really going to...

How come there was a conflict that resulted in death?
This is no small matter, the flag has been lowered to half-mast!
Wang Yuanchao slightly modified what he said to Zhou Qibang. He did not mention the smuggling or the 42 deaths. He just firmly told all the small bosses that Hong Kong was very safe. He, Wang Yuanchao, had invested all his fortune in the industry, and he had invested much more than anyone else present.

He had spies on the front line, and despite the fighting on the front line, they didn't lose an inch of their position! The other side took the initiative to withdraw.

This is just to tell John people not to bully their Chinese compatriots too much.

Moreover, at this time, the most important thing is that everyone should be nicer to employees, pay them more, and avoid trouble among them.

The more this time is, the better time it is to make money.

If you are really worried, you might as well send your wife, daughter and family out for a vacation.

If you are still worried, the factory will give you a good price and Wang Yuanchao will buy it!

Wang Yuanchao also used his cousin with a dark face as a target. He Wenzhao happened to be a marine police officer there. I don’t know if he went to the front line. Regardless of whether he went or not, this news was told to him by He Wenzhao.

Although Wang Yuanchao tried to appease them strongly, two small bosses still expressed their desire to leave and were willing to sell the factory to him at a discount. These people owned the factory, while Longsheng, which rented the factory, was not qualified to say this.

Previously, Shenlan’s factory was priced at 3% off the market price. This time, Wang Yuanchao only offered 2% off. He bought two small factories, one of 200 square meters and the other of 150 square meters, for only 3 Hong Kong dollars.
