Chapter 268 Greedy Horton

Wang Yuanchao went to the Liu family first. Sure enough, all the Liu family members were neatly arranged, some were reading newspapers, some were writing, and they were all waiting for him.

Seeing Wang Yuanchao, Wang Danfeng said:

"Have you eaten yet?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Well, I'll have to trouble my uncle and aunt to help me settle down. I may not have time."

Wang Danfeng said:

"I have just called my workplace to ask for leave, and they will adjust the recording of the radio drama and skip my part.

Don't worry, we will definitely treat you well!

We came here in the middle of the night without any preparation. It was too hasty."

Wang Danfeng really wanted to say: Wouldn’t it be better if you had called us in advance so we could prepare early?
But thinking about it, the other party might have come here illegally, and it might be impossible to notify me in advance, so I just gave a small and tactful explanation.

Wang Yuanchao wanted to ask, what happened to the radio station and the newspaper? But he thought it should be fine. Otherwise, the Liu couple would have told him first instead of being busy entertaining guests and asking for leave.

He still planned to go and take a look at the cash cow Deep Blue Electric Appliance Factory - a big golden cow with a monthly income of 30 US dollars!

He missed her every day he was away, even though Liu Qijin told him that everything was fine.

So he looked at Liu Qijin who was looking anxiously, and said:

"Then I'll trouble uncle and aunt to worry about it.

But I have to trouble you to ask for leave for Jin Er, she has to accompany me to visit the factory today."

Liu Qijin finally couldn't help but answer and said excitedly:
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to go see Brother Yuan Chao and talk to him about what he asked me to do. You guys go ahead and do your work!"

Liu Heqing looked at his eldest daughter who was about to run away, and had to say to the two twins:

"Okay, hurry up and go to school, don't dawdle!"

The bodyguards and driver were already waiting outside.

Wang Yuanchao did not tell the bodyguards or the driver what to do. When relatives and friends came, it was most appropriate for them to take care of them. Besides, wasn't the security of the community at the disposal of the Liu family?
Liu Heqing turned to the bodyguard and said:
"I'd also like to trouble you to ask the school for a leave for Qi Jin."

The bodyguard agreed and left.

Liu Qiyu muttered as he carried his schoolbag,

"We can also stay home and help!"

Seeing that his daughters had all gone out, Liu Heqing said to his wife:
"He has traveled thousands of miles to help Korea. There are so many things to do. It's hard work. Let us help him bear some of the burden!"

Wang Danfeng rolled her eyes at her husband, as if he had interrupted her.
-
As soon as he got into Wang Yuanchao's car, Liu Qijin rushed over.

No matter what explanation you give, it’s better to ask for a kiss to relieve your longing.

Wang Yuanchao also responded enthusiastically, which made Liu Qijin feel embarrassed. He pulled his mouth away and said:
"Everything is going well for your company!"

Wang Yuanchao kept his hands moving and said:
"I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the energy to help me entertain my relatives and friends, right?"

Liu Qijin panted a little and said:

"There were some minor things. Horton from the foreign trade company called you several times. Although he didn't say what he wanted to do, I guess it wasn't a good thing.

Let’s go to the factory and take a look.”

Wang Yuanchao first inspected his cash cow, Shenlan Electric Appliance Factory.

Because the entire building had been bought out before, the scale of the factory has been expanded in an orderly manner. The original two-story 800-square-meter installation plant is already full, with two floors above it used as motor manufacturing workshops and another floor as a research workshop.

Financial accounts, salary and bonus lists, production logs, production plans, assembly lines, quality inspection, warehousing and packaging are all neat and orderly, and are strictly implemented in accordance with previous rules and regulations.

Meetings are for problems to be solved, experiences to be shared, and tasks to be assigned...

As long as the market is stable, there is no need to study or hold meetings every day.

Manufacturing is so monotonous and boring.

There is no significant drop in sales due to the winter. The sales of dark blue can be fully absorbed by the Southeast Asian market.

Therefore, the steady growth every month can bring Deep Blue an income of 30 US dollars!

There are also detailed data changes for the small factories that provide supporting services to various suppliers. It can be seen that the scale of some small factories is growing rapidly, faster than others.

——This is an enterprising small factory! We can support a few more of them.

Wang Yuanchao has never ignored his competitors, and Shenlan has also arranged people to visit various competing factories every week to inquire about the situation.

Basically everything has resumed!

The fan production capacity of the entire Hong Kong began to increase rapidly.

Shenlan has no time to produce ceiling fan lights. Anyway, when small and medium-sized manufacturers come to purchase the license, Shenlan sells them to them without any hesitation. Even the licensing fee is just a formality. All they have to do is buy Shenlan's motors.

These small factories can still use Shenlan's sales channels, and Shenlan can also earn money from installation and after-sales maintenance. It doesn't matter who you buy the motor from? Shenlan's motor is not more expensive than those outside.

This is the benefit of self-research.

The hot and humid summer is about to arrive, and factories are even starting to compete for workers.

Thanks to DeepBlue's "shared" "fund" system, everyone's salary will be invested and there will be dividends. If someone has an emergency, they can withdraw it according to the agreement. In addition, DeepBlue's unique piece-rate reward system, namely:
If the monthly production target is completed, the workers will receive a basic salary. If the production target is exceeded, the workers will receive a bonus based on the piecework. This is also a disguised way to increase the wages of these workers, which are about 300-400 yuan, comparable to senior policemen, and are already high-paid.

If dividends are included, the actual income of Deep Blue workers will increase significantly, depending on how much you have invested in the company!

Some people invest tens of thousands of yuan and can get 100 yuan in dividends every month! The annualized rate of return reaches 10%+!

Because house prices are low and rents are high at the moment, there are more people renting than buying. This is the result of Wang Yuanchao's deliberate control, otherwise he is worried that the workers will become real estate speculators.

Ordinary workers really have no better place to invest. At least the company’s fundraising is much higher than bank interest.

Of course, this money can only be settled once a year, and no dividends can be received in the meantime.

Therefore, the Deep Blue workers have very good stability.

And Wang Yuanchao probably knew why Horton called him.

At the beginning, it was because Hong Kong was in chaos and the market could not provide enough products. Shenlan broke down into smaller pieces and had goods on hand, so the manufacturer had more say.

Now, there are more products on the market, and I’m afraid Horton has some ideas.

Based on this, Liu Qijin told Wang Yuanchao that she thought it was not a good thing.

At noon, Wang Yuanchao, Liu Qijin, Deep Blue’s head Qiu Dahai, and Deep Blue’s management staff had lunch together. In the afternoon, he went to find Horton.

Horton didn't know that Deep Blue Electric's costs had not risen due to the previous chaos, otherwise, he would definitely not be satisfied with the rebate of $1 per fan.

But even so, Hong Kong began to resume work on a large scale in January, and the "Industrial Fair" was far more lively than in previous years.

Many fan manufacturers have approached us with preferential prices. The market capacity in Hong Kong is limited, and foreign trade companies are our main market destination.

Horton was also prepared to have a good talk with Wang Yuanchao about whether their friendship should be deepened.

It was a pity that Wang Yuanchao was not there, and only his fiancée was there, a pretty girl who had no say in her own affairs and probably didn’t even understand his hints and urgings.

Liu Qijin OS: You don’t understand! I know it very well, I’m just dragging it with you!
Horton cannot act recklessly as he does not have absolute control over the company. Some of his subordinates have suggested that prices should be readjusted even in light of the sharp drop in the pound last November.

However, he evaded the offer by saying that Hong Kong had just been stabilized, the peak season was about to arrive, and there was currently no partner that could completely replace Deep Blue's production capacity. In order to avoid losing the big picture for the small, he needed to observe the situation for a while longer.

As for the contract agreement? Without strength, it is just a piece of waste paper.

Horton, who had been waiting for Wang Yuanchao for more than a month, couldn't wait to say when he saw Wang Yuanchao:

"My king, my friend, I miss you so much!"

Wang Yuanchao naturally responded enthusiastically, but looking at this guy's enthusiasm, he sensitively felt that Horton did have other intentions.

After everyone else in the office left, Holden put his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and said eagerly:
"Wang, many fan factories have resumed operations now. They are offering high-quality products and favorable prices, which makes it difficult for our company to refuse!"

as predicted.

Fortunately, when he was away, the friendship fee given to Horton was not reduced by a penny.

This situation did not surprise Wang Yuanchao. He was at the mercy of others, so what could he do?
Shenlan does not have its own external sales channels, so most of the profits will be taken away by foreign trade companies.

Wang Yuanchao didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point:
"So, my friend, what advice do you have?"

Horton said:
“28 dollars!

You know, now 1 US dollar is 6 Hong Kong dollars, not to mention the black market price."

Oh no, it was cut into a quarter!
It turned out to be $37, with $1 being Horton's friendship fee.

In fact, the price of $28 is also very attractive, but when doing business, you have to ask for a high price and then pay it back. How could Wang Yuanchao not struggle?
Wang Yuanchao looked caring and heartbroken, and said:
"Oh, my friend, I think $2 represents my friendship, what do you think?
We signed the contract at the beginning, and you said we could at least support it until the middle of the year!"

The friendship that Horton earned from the Deep Blue Electric Factory every month was about $2.5, which could be doubled to $5!
But it wasn't enough, Horton wanted more because he didn't know how long this deal would last.

Of course, he would not refuse if he could hold on longer. His goal is to become a millionaire before returning to the United States.

Holden looked at Wang Yuanchao thoughtfully, made an OK gesture, and said:
“3 dollars!

During these two months, I did not destroy our cooperation and rejected those more favorable products because I valued our friendship!

So, our friendship should be worth $3!

And because of the exchange rate issue, the price has to be adjusted to US$35.

This way I can make it until June!

If the price is adjusted by then, I will try my best to help you.

What do you think? "
