Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly, reminding everyone to think about the good things.

The county machinery factory already has its flagship product: the radio.

Pay back the money promptly and gain a good reputation for the factory.

When radios entered the supply and marketing cooperatives, they were officially sold in department stores.

Will the machinery factory still be short of funds?

Lu Changshun said, "That's true, but it's still unclear when our superiors will agree to put radios on the purchase list."

Lin Kaifeng said confidently: "If I can find a way to speed up the approval process and officially include the radio in the purchase list before the end of this year, do you have any objections to returning all the money?"

Lu Changshun was surprised and said, "There is only one month left until the end of this year."

Thinking that Lin Kaifeng did not understand the approval process, Niu Yonggui gave a brief explanation at the beginning.

Analyze from past situations.

The fastest approval process will take four to five months.

in other words.

The results will not be known until April next year.

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "The regular way will definitely not be that fast. We need to find another way."

“Maybe the radios will be on store shelves by New Year’s Day this year.”

"That's impossible."

Niu Yonggui retorted: "Even though the general direction of development has changed and everything is based on the economy, everything must have a rule."

"We just reported the project today, and the leaders held meetings to discuss and conduct various studies, which took more than two months."

"It doesn't make sense that radios can be approved for sale within a month."

Others share the same view.

No matter how the wind vane changes, there is one thing that does not change.

Follow the process step by step.

When it comes to export goods, the higher authorities may give the green light and make special arrangements.

What is a radio? It is a civilian product sold domestically.

It is aimed at ordinary people.

It is impossible for the superiors to make special arrangements in this matter.

It is even more impossible to have green lights all the way.

Lin Kaifeng said slowly: "Leaders, you still don't understand what I mean. Nothing is set in stone."

"We must take the initiative to urge our superiors to understand the situation of our factory."

If Lin Kaifeng had said this a month ago, no one would have believed him.

Even Lu Changshun would not have any trust at all.

It is even possible that Lin Kaifeng would be kicked out on the spot.

But it’s just like what Lin Kaifeng said.

Nothing stays the same.

This is a moment.

Since Lin Kaifeng came to the county machinery factory, he has solved countless problems for the factory.

Create foreign exchange earning products and attract foreign customers.

One-time export of liquefied gas cylinders and steel pipes worth 190,000 foreign currencies.

Soon.

Lin Kaifeng also produced a batch of wooden box radios by hand.

The radio was lent to relevant leaders in the city in the name of testing.

In this way, the complicated relationship between the county machinery factory and the city was repaired.

Things that others dared not think about, let alone do, were accomplished by Lin Kaifeng one after another.

Even though Lin Kaifeng's identity was just a temporary worker.

No one could still ignore his words and suggestions.

Lu Changshun said without comment, "Tell me about your plan."

"Uncle San, please tell me first, how many female employees are there in the factory?"

Hearing this, Lu Changshun looked at Niu Yonggui.

"If retired employees are not counted, there are a total of 95 female employees on the job."

"Mobilize them all, contact relatives and friends, and actively promote our factory's radios."

"No! Absolutely not!!!"

As soon as Lin Kaifeng finished speaking, Lu Changshun shook his head like a rattle.

The expressions of the others were extremely grim.

What does Lin Kaifeng want to do?

Do you know that doing this is speculation?

Niu Yonggui said in a complicated voice: "Kaifeng, don't blame everyone for not supporting you. This is a serious violation of discipline."

"Speculation and profiteering will lead to imprisonment, so don't be foolish."

"Let the higher-ups approve our factory's radio project as soon as possible. You can think of other ways, but you must not take the path of speculation. If you do, not only will you make a mistake, but all those who agree with your suggestion will also be punished."

The crime of speculation and profiteering is complex and can easily lead to you falling into it if you are not careful.

It mainly refers to damaging finance and disrupting market management.

Selling various commodities in the name of individuals or groups.

Short selling is also considered speculation.

I thought Lin Kaifeng could come up with some good idea to force his superiors to speed up the approval process.

The unexpected thing is that everyone makes mistakes.

Not to mention that Lin Kaifeng is Lu Changshun’s nephew-in-law.

Even if he was Lu Changshun's biological son, it would be impossible for everyone to board this pirate ship.

"All is quiet."

Lu Changshun looked at Lin Kaifeng and said, "There are no outsiders here. What are you thinking?"

Lin Kaifeng calmly explained: "Please pay attention to a word in what I just said."

“Selling, not marketing.”

“There may seem to be no difference between the two, but there is a big difference.”

Radios have always been a hot commodity in the Longguo market.

This was true in the fifties and sixties, and even more so in the seventies.

When young people got married in the 1970s, they no longer decorated their weddings in a simple manner like their elders.

The level of the gift has been greatly improved

Three turns and one ring, becoming the mainstream.

Due to various factors, every time the four major items - radios, watches, bicycles and sewing machines - appear on store shelves, they will be sold out in no time.

People who want to get married need them.

Anyone with a little financial resources at home would buy one or two pieces to decorate the house.

There is no factory in the local area that produces three-turn and one-ring machines.

The four major items in the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores all come from planned allocation.

The quantity is limited and cannot meet the actual needs of local people at all.

When getting married, one must have one of the three changes and one sound.

This in turn leads to many young parents being eager to get married.

Use connections to get things through the back door and spend a lot of money to buy them.

The machinery factory had the ability to produce radios, which solved the local supply problem.

Send female employees out to serve as product promoters.

Communicate this matter to the neighbors and relatives around you.

Local residents who know the news will certainly be eagerly waiting for the products to be put on the shelves.

If you can't buy it.

It will definitely be done through writing letters and other means.

Express to the city leaders the urgent need for radios to appear on the store shelves as soon as possible.

After hearing Lin Kaifeng's solution, everyone was speechless.

So this is what Lin Kaifeng meant.

Niu Yonggui slapped his thigh and laughed, "Kaifeng, I'm sorry, everyone misunderstood."

"I apologize on behalf of everyone. Your idea is good. We won't sell anything, we'll just do publicity."

“Let the entire county, and even the city, know that our factory is capable of producing high-quality cash registers.”

“Parents whose children are getting married are definitely the most anxious group of people.”

"We are anxious to get the radio on the shopping list and make it a selling item."

"Speaking of urgency, they are ten times more anxious than us!"
