Siheyuan: Fusion of 129600 Selves

Chapter 55 Baby Carriage

Zhang Jianghe had only one daughter-in-law but two sons, which made it inconvenient to take care of the children. So he started to develop a baby stroller.

Baby strollers have been around for a long time. Ancient baby strollers were made of wood and could only be used at home. Modern baby strollers have four directional wheels, which makes them inconvenient to push when traveling.

Zhang Jianghe, who had seen many baby carriages in his previous life, designed a baby carriage in minutes with his IQ of over 300.

"Four steering wheels with brakes, foldable body, double version stroller, can carry two babies at a time."

To manufacture parts and raw materials in Small World, Zhang Jianghe uses the sewing machine at home to process fabrics for baby strollers.

By assembling parts and fabrics, a brand new titanium alloy baby stroller is born.

"It has everything you need, including brakes and seat belts, and it also has good crash and collision protection."

After looking at his work, Zhang Jianghe loaded the two kids into the cart and pushed it around the yard a few times.

It is not difficult to go up and down a single staircase, and it is also very flexible to push.

Qin Huairu, who was standing aside and watching, looked very surprised.

Zhang Jianghe went to find Wang Xinghua to learn the production process of single-version and double-version baby strollers.

Foreign baby strollers do not have steering wheels, do not have braking function, and cannot be folded. The baby stroller he developed has a large market both at home and abroad.

It took a week to produce the first batch of sample strollers.

The stroller has a simple structure and is easy to produce, but the production of the wheels did take a lot of time.

After seeing the sample strollers, many people wanted to get one for themselves.

Some people have children at home, and some people have relatives who have children.

In order to let Longxing Group register the patent for the baby stroller, Zhang Jianghe sent the sample strollers to Gangcheng.

The market size of baby strollers is not small. Longxing Group has manufactured some production lines and established a baby stroller factory in Beicheng.

The Longxing Refinery has been put into operation, and oil is imported from abroad and processed in the Longxing Refinery, so the supply of wheel materials is sufficient.

The body material of mass-produced baby strollers is aluminum alloy, which is strong and light.

Research on titanium production began in 1954, and Zhang Jianghe later provided some related technologies.

At present, Longguo’s titanium production is too small, and it is temporarily impossible to use titanium alloy to manufacture baby carriages.

The sample baby strollers were sent to Gangcheng, and the senior management of Longxing Group invited dealers one by one.

The new baby carriage was displayed in public, and the inspectors and foreigners were delighted.

"Manager Wang, how much is this car?"

"Wholesale price: 300 Hong Kong dollars."

"I want three thousand baby carriages."

"Manager Wang, I want to order 5,000 baby strollers."

All of Longxing Group's overseas distributors are extremely wealthy.

The revenue share of Longxing Group’s songs, movies and TV series distributed overseas is very high.

The Longxing Group's novels, comics, fairy tales, kitchenware... and motorcycles are very profitable overseas.

A baby stroller that costs HK$300 is very expensive for ordinary people in Hong Kong, but very cheap for wealthy people in Hong Kong. And it is as cheap as cabbage for people in Baizhou and Xingzhou.

Three hundred Hong Kong dollars is approximately equal to thirty Star Dollars. A baby stroller from abroad whose wheels cannot turn or brake and whose body cannot be folded can be sold at a retail price of thirty Star Dollars. You just need to get it overseas and sell it at a unit price of eighty Star Dollars.

......

"Huai Ru, where did this car come from?" Yang Ruihua asked.

"It was given to me by a friend of my brother Zhang." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"It's so convenient. I can push two kids around and go anywhere," Yang Ruihua praised.

"Sister Qin, how much is this car?" Fan Hongmei walked over with a bulging belly.

"I didn't spend any money on it. Someone gave it to me." Qin Huairu handled it with ease.

"Can you help me ask how much it will cost?" Fan Hongmei touched her belly. She was about to give birth to her second child, and if she had a similar baby carriage, she would be much more relaxed.

With the double-version stroller, Qin Huairu's daily range of activities has increased a lot.

Before she had a stroller, she would never go out when she was alone at home.

Carrying one on your back and holding another in your arms, you can't do anything else. Going out is just asking for trouble.

A few days later, a small number of baby strollers appeared in several supply and marketing cooperatives in the north city, almost all of which were single-version strollers.

There were very few twins, and several supply and marketing cooperatives each had a double-version stroller.

The price of a single-version stroller is more expensive than a bicycle, but you don’t need a ticket to buy a stroller.

The baby strollers currently produced are mainly used for export to earn foreign exchange.

The number of orders for baby strollers has never stopped, and the price of baby strollers shipped overseas is more than two hundred star coins.

The average monthly salary in Singapore is more than 500 Star Coins, so a baby stroller that costs more than 200 Star Coins is not very expensive for Singaporeans.

One by one, dealers discovered that baby strollers were very profitable and rushed to place orders with Longxing Group.

The original wholesale price of the baby stroller was HK$200, but due to the rush to buy it by dealers in overseas channels, the wholesale price continued to soar and quickly soared to HK$500. Even so, dealers in overseas channels still placed orders frantically.

At Zhang Jianghe's suggestion, Longxing Group did not continue to raise the wholesale price of baby strollers.

The baby carriage factory in Beicheng expanded in scale and its production capacity soared rapidly.

Many parts of a stroller are stamped parts, and the processing speed is very fast.

Poultry House, Jia Family.

Fan Hongmei wanted to buy a baby stroller, but it was too expensive, so she had no choice but to bear it.

The single-version baby stroller sold at the supply and marketing cooperative costs 280 yuan, while the double-version baby stroller costs 350 yuan.

With a bicycle ticket or industrial voucher, you could buy a 28-bar bicycle at the supply and marketing cooperative for only about 180 yuan.

Foreign exchange can be used to purchase technology from abroad, import oil, machinery and equipment, etc.

Baby strollers can earn foreign exchange, so it is inevitable that they are given priority for export.

"Mom, Hongmei is about to give birth. Let's take some money and buy a stroller." Jia Dongxu said.

"Dongxu, it's not like there's no one to hold the baby, why do you need to buy a stroller?" Jia Zhang retorted. She often had extra meals alone, and she only had more than 800 yuan left. How could she afford to buy a stroller?

Before Jia Haoyun died, his salary at the factory was not low. There were only three people in the Jia family, and Jia Dongxu was still doing odd jobs, and he had saved more than 800 yuan.

Jia Haoyun died in the factory, and Lou Zhenhua paid a total of one thousand yuan in compensation.

The Jia family's more than 1,800 yuan was all in Jia Zhang's hands. In 1953, the unified purchase and sale policy began. To buy various things, corresponding tickets were required. If you didn't have a ticket, you had to spend more money.

Jia Zhang had extra meals on her own, each costing about one dollar, and a bottle of painkillers cost two or three dollars.

In just a few years, Jia Zhang had spent more than 1,800 yuan and was left with only over 800 yuan.

When Fan Hongmei married Jia Dongxu, did Jia Zhang pay for a sewing machine?

Jia Dongxu works in a factory, and his monthly salary goes to Jia Zhang.

A rough calculation shows that in just a few years, Jia Zhang spent at least more than a thousand yuan on her own.

Jia Zhang was addicted to eating meat. If she didn't eat meat for two or three days, she would feel unwell all over.

In an era when people were generally thin, it goes without saying how much meat she ate to reach her weight of over 200 pounds.

In the 21st century, almost all Chinese people can have enough food and clothing. With one person's salary, not considering other expenses, it is simple to eat meat at home every meal, which is not lacking in nutrition. There are also various snacks. It is normal to gain weight if you eat less for three meals.

The average wage is about 4,000 yuan, a pound of pork costs more than ten yuan, and three pounds of pork a day is only about 40 yuan.

In the 21st century, there are not many Chinese people who can eat half a pound of meat a day on average.

In the Dragon Kingdom of this era, one person can easily finish more than a pound of fat meat.

Almost all Long people lack oil and water. When they eat fatty meat, they don’t feel greasy but delicious.

Before Zhang Jianghe came to the Poultry World, a small bowl of rice was enough for him to eat for a meal.

An ordinary person in the poultry farm can eat at least three bowls of food in one meal if he or she wants to eat as much as he wants.
