Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Liu Xialian said: "Xu Xiong, you don't know much about this. There are only a few large factories in China that can produce this kind of electronic parts. Ordinary small workshops can't produce it. Even if they do, the quality is not stable. Why are there so many small factories in the south? It's because the local area is very close to the port, and electrical parts have poured in through underground channels. This is why the products of these small factories are so cheap, but the quality is still acceptable."

"I understand. This is what is called water matching in the industry jargon. It means the imported parts are assembled by small factories."

"Yes, we are far from the port and don't have any water parts. If we purchase all the parts from big manufacturers for assembly, the products we make will not be as cheap as those purchased wholesale from the south. This is what I am worried about. What do you think?"

Xu Xiong soon figured out the key to the problem, but then he thought again, "If we can't dig ginseng, can we still pick mushrooms? We can make electric fans, mainly table fans and ceiling fans. We can set the sales market in Shandong and Hebei, and that should be fine."

Liu Xia Lian saw that Xu Xiong was determined to open a factory, mainly because Li Hu had a big fishing boat, Li Damei had a factory, and Xu Shiba had more than a dozen stores, so he also wanted to achieve some results, which was understandable for young people.

"No problem, just do it. There's nothing to be afraid of when starting a business. I'll go to the county industrial park to find a house after the New Year. But I can tell you, running a factory is very tiring. It's very hard. There are all kinds of inspections. He comes today and the day after tomorrow. We need to deal with them. But it's okay in the county. We have strong connections. As long as there are no major problems, we can handle it."

"Okay, don't worry, sister. I've thought about it. Li Hu and I are competing for the sake of competition. It's not for money at all. The amount of money I make in a month now is a figure I never dared to imagine before."

"I understand. It can be considered as a contribution to the hometown economy. Go ahead and get started after the New Year. You should still have 200,000 yuan in your account. If it's not enough, come to me."

"That's enough. My budget for renting a factory, buying equipment, and purchasing accessories cannot exceed one hundred thousand yuan. It cannot affect the development of the store. Next year, we will open a store in Bingcheng and compete with Zhao Daxi for business."

"Okay, sister, I'm going to get busy. This month, I opened three stores and nine video halls in three nearby counties. It's really busy."

The real money-makers are the shops that sell electrical appliances. As for the video halls, they are contracted shops developed by Xu Xiong. The store manager pays a certain amount of money every month, and the rest belongs to the store owner. Xu Xiong does not participate in the operation, but only provides guidance. The headquarters will review what movies can be shown and what cannot be shown, and the business is compliant and legal. In fact, Liu Xialian does not think highly of this business. A ticket costs 25 cents. A video hall can only have seven shows a day. If each show has 50 people, the turnover is only 60 to 70 yuan. This is the turnover during holidays. On normal days, it is only 20 to 30 yuan a day.

But Xu Xiong's talent is not to be underestimated. The convenience store and video hall are combined, selling drinks, snacks, cigarettes and matches.

However, Xu Xiong's video hall is a formal business, and smoking is allowed only outside. According to the performance reports of several stores, the ticket price is almost the same as that of the small shops.

According to Xu Xiong, these are actually secondary. There are advertisements for the electrical appliance store on the tickets, and there are also advertisements for the electrical appliance store inside the store, which is equivalent to using the video hall to attract traffic.

It has to be said that Xu Xiong is at the forefront of the times.

Just like some supermarkets, they buy cabbages at 20 cents a pound in wholesale and sell them at 5 cents a pound. It seems like they are losing 15 cents, but in fact the money can be earned back from other places. This is called traffic generation.

After leaving the electrical appliance store, Liu Xia Lian was strolling on the street. People kept greeting her. Assistant Xiao Ma came over panting on his big 28 bike.

"Director, Director Song from the County Industrial and Commercial Bureau is here. He said someone has filed a complaint against us."

Liu Xialian was confused: "Complaint, our factory just finished a major inspection recently, everything passed, what are you complaining about?"

Assistant Xiao Ma smiled bitterly: "How would I know? Director Song is waiting for you in the office."

Liu Xia Lian is not a rookie either. Director Song is County Magistrate Ma's man, and the kimchi factory is County Magistrate Ma's political achievement project. It must be nothing serious, so there is no need to worry.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xia Lian came in, Director Song smiled bitterly and said, "Director Liu, don't blame me. The bureau arranged for me to come here. The directors of the county food factory, county biscuit factory, county soda factory, and county wine factory jointly complained about you. I had to come here."

"Stop, stop, Director Song, that's not right. I have nothing in common with these factory directors you mentioned. When did I, an honest and upright person, provoke them?"

“Did you get a salary increase two months ago?”

"Yes, the base salary has increased from forty-five to sixty, and the overtime hourly wage has doubled."

"This is incredible. Your workers often get hundreds of yuan for overtime work."

"What's wrong? One hundred yuan. That's what the workers earned through hard work."

"I am the factory director. County Magistrate Ma, who is at such a high level, only gets 120 yuan, while I only get 100 yuan."

"That's different. You serve the people, and you have high ideological and cultural awareness. How can ordinary people have such high awareness? Why do we work so hard to make money? Isn't it to support our families? Xiao Ma, go call a few vegetable washers over."

"Okay, Director." Xiao Ma responded and went to call people.

After a while, three female workers came in. They were all young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and wore rubber gloves on their hands.

"Put your hands out and let me see."

"Okay, director."

Even at this age, my hands are already cracked.

"This is when we wash the vegetables with hot water. If we use cold water, we will get more frostbite. We work more than ten hours a day and earn this little. It's hard-earned money."

Liu Xia Lian asked the three workers to leave. Director Song was an old fox and would naturally not offend Liu Xia Lian easily.

"I understand what Director Liu said, but once you raise the wages here, the workers in those factories will make trouble. If you ask them to raise their wages, won't that be difficult? You can raise it a little bit, but not too much, okay?"

Liu Xia Lian nodded: "Okay, the high salary during this period is mainly due to the exchange of aircraft with the big bear country. Once this matter is over, I will immediately reduce the salary."

"Very good, Director Liu is very understanding, he takes the overall situation seriously, and he is a pillar of the country."

"Hahaha, Director Song is exaggerating. How can you praise someone like that? I'm just a pickle maker, so what? A while ago, a friend in Hangzhou sent me some Longjing tea. You can take it back and taste it to see if it's authentic."

"Okay, thank you very much, we'll talk later."

Being in the torrent of the times, no one can stay out of it. Liu Xia Lian also understands this truth, so sometimes she must make appropriate compromises and concessions.
