Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 926 Survival of the Fittest
"Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat, but there is nothing to do. Now all the wealth is on this factory. If one day I can't continue to work, I might as well sell it!" When it came to this, A bitterness flashed across Xiao Qiang's face.

Survival of the fittest exists in any industry. It was very difficult for state-owned enterprises to close down in the 80s, but private companies closed down as soon as they said they would, and the state would not have the slightest sympathy. This is the cruelty of entrepreneurship.

In fact, by 85, Shenzhen had already passed the most golden initial stage, and many small private factories had gone bankrupt, but soon more fresh blood poured into this vibrant special zone, just like the human body. Like the metabolism of human beings, there are always some people who cannot keep up with the pace of development.

"Don't you still have some orders? Don't you need to be so pessimistic?" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"The batch of orders I have in hand can only last for another two or three months at most, and it is only just maintaining a state of no loss or profit, but now the order price of the circuit board is getting lower and lower, and some small The more the factory works, the more it will pay. Now is the time to fight for the family fortune. Whoever can't hold on will be out of the game. What else is there to say." Xiao Qiang said helplessly.

"Is there still a business that loses money?" Duan Yun was a little surprised when he heard this.

"It's not a big deal!" Xiao Qiang frowned, and then said: "The old buddies who attended the opening ceremony of your electronics factory with me last time are all in the same situation as me. Old Xu, do you still remember? That one is quite tall, the one with the back of the head, he has almost lost all his money, and he came to me a while ago to borrow some money, but I still have a tile on my ass, so how can I lend it to him?" Xiao Qiang poured himself another glass of wine and said, "Let me tell you, Manager Duan, that the large state-owned enterprises in Shenzhen are relatively easy to deal with. After all, they spend the money of the state. If they have a good relationship, they can give you some soup." Drink, but those joint ventures are really darker than the other, especially those fake foreign devils who are executives, they are all so arrogant. You all have your nostrils upturned, but most of our electronic orders here in Shenzhen are In their hands, the price is really ruthless, it’s like eating people without spit out bones, but you don’t pick up, some people pick up, and they don’t give them money, whole point rebates or something, it’s impossible to get an order No."

"Then you can also give him some money..." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"What should I give him?" Xiao Qiang gave Duan Yun a blank look when he heard the words, and then said, "You think we're going to do business? At most, it's just a bottle of good wine and a good cigarette, and it's about the same for you. It's done, but these fake foreign devils still don't drink alcohol. They insist on drinking some foreign wine, that is, Xo or something, and they also smoke cigars. I have never seen such a thing. I heard that the bottle of wine If it costs thousands of dollars, how much can I make a single order?"

"Hahaha!" Duan Yun laughed when he heard this.

"Or I admire you, Manager Duan. You can make a product and sell it yourself, and the sales volume is so big. Some time ago, I had an old buddy who bought the speakers produced by your factory and kept praising the quality of the speakers. Well, it sounds very exciting, if I had your skills, I wouldn't need to be so humble and watch people's faces to eat..." Xiao Qiang said with some emotion.

Xiao Qiang is really envious of Duan Yun, but he doesn't understand technology. Products such as TV sets, refrigerators, and tape recorders require special production lines, and the technical threshold is too high. As for low-threshold electric fan radios, they are fine Imitation, but how to reduce cost and mass-produce is a big problem, which can't be solved at all, and the market of this kind of products is already saturated, the sales channels are basically occupied by state-owned enterprises, and this kind of products of private enterprises cannot be sold at all.

However, Duan Yun's private electronics factory has both a brand and energy-produced products, and the sales volume is still so high. Private companies that can do this are simply rare. This is what Xiao Qiang admires Duan Yun the most.

"My job is actually not easy, it's just that my luck is better than ordinary people." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Manager Xiao, if our factory gives you some outsourcing work for circuit boards, would you do it?"

"Your factory has jobs?" Xiao Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but then he frowned and asked, "The price..."

"At least you can't lose money, and at least it should be higher than those offered by joint ventures." Duan Yun said with a smile.

Duan Yun's current speaker sales have been very high, and his current production capacity of the two electronics factories in Daxing and Shenzhen is still far from meeting market demand, and the current circuit board processing procedures of his electronics factory in Shenzhen are indeed relatively polluting, which is why they There is a huge hidden danger in electronics factories. Once the country starts to pay attention to environmental protection and the relevant departments in Shenzhen strictly investigate, their own electronics factories are likely to be severely fined, and they may even be in danger of closing down for rectification.

And Duan Yun had thought about outsourcing the process of making circuit boards before, so that on the one hand, it could reduce costs, and on the other hand, it could also eliminate the hidden danger of major accidents.

"Do it! Of course!" Hearing this, Xiao Qiang said simply.

For Xiao Qiang, as long as the order can guarantee that he will not lose money, he will definitely take the order. For small private companies like them, it is very good to survive in Shenzhen now. After this most difficult period, when similar companies are almost eliminated, there is still a chance to make a lot of money.

"Tomorrow, I will go to your factory to have a look. If your factory's processing technology is qualified, I can give you a batch of orders." Duan Yun said seriously.

"Thank you so much, Manager Duan!" Xiao Qiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately filled his glass with wine, then raised his glass and said to Duan Yun, "Manager Duan, I respect you for this glass of wine!"

After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Drink less, you will have to ride a motorcycle home later, if you drink too much, I have to take you home." Seeing that Xiao Qiang was about to pour wine into his glass, Duan Yun pressed Hold on to the bottle.

"Okay, I'll listen to Manager Duan's arrangement!" Xiao Qiang said respectfully.

Even though Duan Yun is twice as young as Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang has to lower his face and bend his waist for business. For him, he is a master if he is rich in business, and it doesn't matter whether he has no face or no face.

"By the way, how many small bosses like your factory do you know?" Duan Yun stuffed a peanut into his mouth and asked after chewing it twice.

"I've been living in Shenzhen for more than two years, and I probably know about ten people like me. Anyway, the situation of our brothers is not easy now..." Xiao Qiang said.

"Call your friends when you have time, and I'll treat them to dinner. To be honest, I've only been in Shenzhen for less than half a year, and I want to make more friends in Shenzhen." Duan Yun said with a smile.
