Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 246 Confirmation Proofing
With the help of Mr. Xiao, a Chaozhou native whom he met by accident, the inspection of the bone china factory by Wang Yiyuan and his party suddenly became clear and became much smoother.

It took about three days, and the three of them visited about fifteen or six factories non-stop.These factories, the big ones are very big, and the small ones are very small.

Even Wang Yiyuan never imagined that these small factories producing high-grade bone china could be so small.As Mr. Xiao said, it is simply unimaginable how simple and improvised these factories are in terms of site, environment, facilities, etc.

Mr. Xiao explained that there are basically no thresholds for producing bone china in Tangshan.As long as you have 2 to [-] yuan, you can do it yourself, or you can hire one or two workers, find a place where there is power and electricity, install one or two electric kilns, and you can start production.

However, Wang Yiyuan's overall impression and feeling is that the impact of the financial crisis is likely to have passed, and most of the factories have a considerable part of their production capacity idle.It can be clearly seen from the scenes of these factories that the bone china industry in Tangshan is currently in a recession.

Wang Yiyuan kept an eye out.Under Mr. Xiao's guidance, he wiped off the airline logo on the back of the waist plate sample.Secondly, every time they go to a factory, they only inquire about the price and visit the site, they don't necessarily say that they want to produce, and naturally they don't say how much they want to purchase.

Mr. Xiao said that this is simpler.When the time comes, find a flower paper factory to print the logo, send it directly to the place where the flowers are baked, and then pack the flowers, and then you can find a logistics company to pull them to Shanghai, so that they don't have to guess the final customer, and there is nothing wrong superfluous things.

This afternoon, Mr. Xiao happened to be going to deliver brackets to a bone china factory in Liyuan, so Wang Yiyuan and the others took his truck and went there together.

The place I want to go to is called Liyuan. The road is far away from Gangyao Road, and the road is particularly difficult to walk.The truck drove for about an hour, passed a place called Jinggezhuang Mine of Kailuan Coal Mine, and then went on until Wang Yiyuan saw five big smokestacks emitting clouds and fog.

Mr. Xiao said that it is almost here. The big smoke window we see now is the Douhe Power Plant, which has eight generating units and is one of the largest thermal power plants in the country. It mainly supplies electricity to Beijing.

He said that because of the convenience of the Douhe Power Plant, there are many ceramic factories in Liyuan, especially small ceramic factories that use electric kilns.

The road to this ceramic factory is very difficult.After crossing the main road, passing through an overpass hole, and driving along the edge of a large cornfield for a long distance, we finally arrived.However, the scale of the factory is not bad, it covers a large area, and the machinery and equipment inside are relatively complete.

The owner's surname is Chen. Mr. Chen is in his 60s and relatively short.Particularly impressive is the man's hair.The hair on Mr. Chen's head is actually not much, and it has a typical Mediterranean shape.The remaining ones are left long, forming a strip, artificially making them lie tenaciously on the forehead.

But when walking or turning the head, these hairs always slip down.As soon as it slid down, Mr. Chen touched his head and stroked it back to its original position.It's ridiculous to repeat this over and over again.

When visiting the factory, Mr. Chen introduced himself that he was a worker at the Five Porcelain Factory of Tangshan Ceramics Company. After the factory was restructured, he returned to his hometown and built this ceramics factory by himself. This land was originally his family’s private land.

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, hehe, the rent money was used to build the house, and Mr. Chen saved a lot of money.

Mr. Chen said Mr. Xiao was right.The saved money, on the one hand, is used for the development of the company, continuously buying machinery and equipment, and then giving back a considerable part to customers, so the bone china in our factory is cheap and good, and has a great competitive advantage. They all prefer to come and buy my ceramics.

After Wang Yiyuan chatted with him, he felt that Old Chen was a more down-to-earth person, and he looked more reassuring, so he intentionally left the big waist plate with him for proofing and production.The fly in the ointment is that their factory only produces white porcelain, not baked flowers.

The price calculated by Mr. Chen is indeed about [-] cents cheaper than other factories.Wang Yiyuan thought to himself, this is a lot, and it will be more profitable to measure it together in the future.

As for the time for proofing, Lao Chen told the truth that it would take at least a month.Compared with the factories Wang Yiyuan had visited, it was relatively fast.

However, there is an additional requirement for the proofing of this factory, which is to pay a proofing fee of 1000 yuan, and it must be paid in advance.

Wang Yiyuan joked, Lao Chen, you can't trust us?Even if you have to pay the proofing fee, you can't pay twice as much as others?
Lao Chen was a little embarrassed, and said a little bit, Mr. Wang, it's not that he can't trust you.To be honest, today is the first time we meet and do business, so it's better to be on the safe side.Besides, this advance payment, if it is actually produced in the future, will offset the payment for the goods, and it will not actually make you pay more.

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, Mr. Wang, this is the way of doing business here in Tangshan. They always think that we are a thousand miles away.In fact, they are all worried.

Old Chen laughed dryly, but didn't make a sound.But judging by his cheerful appearance, he basically acquiesced to Mr. Xiao's statement.

Wang Yiyuan agreed to the 1000 yuan, and then signed a contract with Lao Chen's company to entrust the production of [-] pieces of white porcelain.

As for the small waist plate, Wang Yiyuan placed an order for a small ceramics factory in Shangcun, just behind Gangyao Road.This ceramics factory only does pressure grouting. According to Wang Yiyuan's own understanding, it should be more suitable for the production of special-shaped parts such as waist plates.

The factory is relatively simple, with only two electric kilns.The owner's surname is Liu, and he looks about 37 or [-].Later, when Wang Yiyuan asked him, he was actually the same age as Wang Yiyuan, only a few months older.So Wang Yiyuan called him by his first name, Liu Chunhua.

Liu Chunhua smiled and said, hehe, Mr. Wang, we all do rough work, so we look older.We can produce your waist dish, but we have a batch of fish dishes waiting to be delivered, and we have to deliver their batch of goods before we can produce your things.

Wang Yiyuan said that the time should be about the same.Our waist plate requires proofing, and the proofing must be sent to us for confirmation and signature before production can officially begin.
