Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 853 Broken bones

Although the plaque of the Siheyuan has not yet been hung up, some materials are still being reviewed and approved, and Li Jiankun has made many connections. It should be done soon, so let’s call it Entrepreneur Magazine for the time being.

In Dongchang community, not far from Entrepreneur Magazine, Li Jiankun found a small printing shop.

This community is located to the north of Dacochang Hutong, south of Art Museum Street, east to the west side of Wangfujing Street, and west to the east side of Beiheyan Street. Why is it called... Dongchang? I don’t know. I don’t know what it is with Yongle. Does that matter?

The small printing factory is called "Red Star Printing Factory" and is an enterprise affiliated with the community.

It should be said that with a factory name like Red Star, there are not even 10,000 but 9,000 factories in the country.

"Comrade Li, we cannot meet your request."

In the office of the director of the Red Star Printing Factory, Feng Dashan looked depressed. He had been running this factory for more than two years and had been printing pirated novels for more than two years. He thought he could finally feel proud... Let’s not talk about the money or not. I just wanted to print something stylish.

Who would have thought that his outdated equipment would not be able to handle just a color process that someone requested.

Li Jiankun's expression didn't change at all. Didn't he know that this factory was unreliable?
Is he here for business? No, he is here to buy shares.

When there was no policy at all, he started a private enterprise...

"You? Aren't you just... an affiliate?"

"Raise, loan."

Building the factory like this has drained the pockets of all his relatives and friends. If he hadn't spent half his life in the printing industry, he wouldn't know anything else. The original factory was in recession and he was forced to lose his job. Who would be willing to do this.

"Are you serious?"

The main problem was that he didn't understand the printing industry and really didn't have the time or energy to set up a printing shop.

He thought Li Jiankun's magazine was affiliated with some group, but it really wasn't. What Li Jiankun runs is a real private enterprise.

Land, money, it's all easy to talk about.

To run a magazine, you must have your own printing plant. Private enterprises have no status these days, so it is impossible to rely on other printing plants.

Feng Dashan's eyes were rolling, and he was very suspicious. He also thought that if there was really something going on, he would not suffer any loss.

"Comrade Li, you are a rich man. You can stand and talk without pain in your back. Well, even if you can raise money, if you want to get the level of equipment you require, you have to import it from abroad... You see, if you raise RMB It doesn’t work either.”

Li Jiankun is familiar with the future direction and has no such scruples. Under his influence, companies such as Xiao Wang’s Shanhe Antique City and Luna’s Xingfu Department Store are also private enterprises.

"Director Feng, can we discuss it? If I can help you get this kind of equipment, we can work together, can we work together?"

With advanced equipment, he naturally doesn't have to worry about not having a big business. Even if he shares half of the profits, he will definitely earn more than he does now.

These days, most entrepreneurs will choose the joint venture or affiliation model, mainly because of worries.

"Truer than gold."

"Don't worry about it, I have a way." Li Jiankun didn't explain.

Li Jiankun had a harmless smile on his face.

Of course, when it comes to fierceness, it has to be Chen Chunxian.

"Director Feng, I'm not telling you that the equipment in your factory is too old and you can't even print a wall calendar. Why don't you get a new one?"

Feng Dashan sighed: "Where's the money?"

Feng Dashan planned to believe him once. Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything if he saw the equipment and talked about the follow-up.

Li Jiankun thought, it’s done.

Owning half of the shares, the Entrepreneur Magazine is printed here, and it is designated as free of charge. Maybe you can still make money through other businesses.

The point is, as a half-owner, the factory can focus on entrepreneur magazines.

There is no need to provide the venue or technicians yourself.

It's nothing more than spending a few dollars to buy equipment.

Most likely it won't cost much.

Comrade Dashan's ears and eyes are not very smart...

Do you know what is the best way to create profits?
Poor information.

1985 was a particularly arrogant year.

After such a miracle year like 1984, there were many more wealthy people in the society, which led to the formation of competitive consumption.

Consumption drives production.

In fact, since the second half of last year, major companies across the country have been scrambling to introduce procurement equipment. This initiative is known in the history books as “the economy of princes.”

Here is some data: In 1985, our trade deficit reached an unprecedented 14 billion.

The consumption of foreign exchange reserves was huge, and the blind impulse also resulted in the repeated introduction of many equipment.

Li Jiankun happened to know that a barter meeting was "quietly" being held somewhere in the capital.

It was said that people from all over the country were coming, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find a set of printing equipment.

……

……

Wang Bingquan and Li Jiankun got off the Crown car. One thing is good these days. The car can be parked casually on the side of the road without worrying about being posted...

The two of them walked along the stone road in the square towards a large exhibition hall located inside.

In their open space at nine o'clock, there is a huge three-meter-high machine tool in the open air. It is most likely that it will not be moved into the exhibition hall.

"Here, that's it. As long as you want it, it doesn't matter if you can't pay for it. You can give me whatever you have, including rice and potatoes." Lao Wang pointed at the machine tool and said. "So exaggerated?" Li Jiankun glared.

"If they are left on hand, they are not only useless, but also a trouble. If the relevant departments review it and spend so much foreign exchange to introduce a machine that cannot be used, how can we pay for it? It is better to replace it with something that can be used, rice and potatoes, at least in the canteen If it works, the workers can eat it.”

It makes some sense.

This historical event is called the "Industrial Equipment Rush."

Li Jiankun had read about it in the materials in his previous life.

During this period, we had a large number of companies taking purchase lists and going abroad to search for obsolete second-hand equipment. Countless machinery and equipment were introduced back to China, among which home appliance production lines were the most common.

Our country's home appliance industry also ushered in the "Warring States Era", which was both vigorous and barbaric.

The name "Ariston" must be heard by many children in future generations. For example, Meiling-Ariston.

At this time, people were very excited about being able to add a foreign suffix to their brands.

Currently on the market, there are Changfeng-Ariston, Changling-Ariston, Arctic Ocean-Ariston, Bole-Ariston... a total of nine Aristons, all of which are refrigerator manufacturers and purchased from the same production line.

Ariston, in this country the dragon gave birth to nine sons. Looking at the history of world business, this is also a unique phenomenon.

Lao Wang came here this time just to see if he could buy some refrigerator equipment. After all, it’s convenient—in stock, cheap—and cargo owners are anxious to take action.

There are some who are not anxious and are not afraid of getting into trouble.

In a previous life, in 1987, relevant departments conducted a census of imported equipment in Hanjiang and found that there were imported equipment worth 51 million in the city. However, most of these equipment had been idle for a long time, and some of them had not even been unpacked.

There are even more blind ones.

Sichuan and Chongqing spent 800 million to introduce a complete set of vinylon production equipment since childhood. However, after it was shipped back and assembled, it was discovered that the natural gas supply problem could not be solved at all. Even if all the natural gas from the "Heavy Steel" next door was moved, it would not be enough. Half of the equipment is operational.

Xihai imported a set of concrete pumps, but found that they were old equipment from thirty years ago. Except for the new sign, all other parts had been put into the coffin.

...

It is true that this kind of unplanned introduction has caused great waste and consumed a lot of foreign exchange.

But everything has two sides.

For example, my country's home appliance industry completed its rise at an extremely fast rate during this period.

Objectively speaking, this wave of introduction has played a significant role in promoting the upgrading of my country's light industry.

After the two entered the exhibition hall, they found it both lively and deserted.

Various mechanical equipment almost covered the ground, but except for those people standing next to the equipment who were obviously the owners of the goods, there were only a few tourists.

"It seems that there is no shortage again." Lao Wang sighed with emotion.

"You still have to be wary, worried that they won't sell good products." Li Jiankun said, but he knew that some areas really imported too much.

The two of them were dressed in glamorous clothes and walked in swaggeringly. They looked like they had a lot of background. They attracted the attention of many cargo owners, with hope on their faces.

Lao Wang began to touch his refrigerator equipment.

Li Jiankun searched everywhere for signs of printing equipment.

"It's quite a lot, but..." After a while, Lao Wang shook his head, missing the mark.

Qingxi Refrigerator Factory now has a refrigerator production line worth 10 million US dollars, which makes his vision extremely high. Although the purpose of this trip is not to find a production line, he just wants to buy some auxiliary equipment.

"I didn't even see a shadow..."

Perhaps Li Jiankun was unlucky, or perhaps the printing equipment was not so popular due to its introduction.

Simply...

"Hey, comrades! Do you have any printing equipment?"

Humans have mouths for communication. Li Jiankun shouted at the top of his lungs, and the echo echoed in the exhibition hall.

No one responded for a long time, but there was a lot of conversation.

"We seem to have a lot of units there."

The sound of nature came, and Li Jiankun felt happy and walked over following the sound.

The speaker was an old man wearing a dog-skin hat and speaking in a mahua accent. "But I didn't come this time."

"It's okay, uncle, just contact me." Li Jiankun handed over a piece of Huazi. It was only a few steps away and was easy to transport.

That’s it.

The uncle is from Tianjin and said that they have a large printing factory there. They imported a set of printing equipment that is said to be the most advanced from abroad. After dragging the goods back and taking a look, regardless of the equipment style and manufacturer, the equipment they are using, The technical level is exactly the same.

Purely useless.

"Are you from an employer? If you guys are willing to pay foreign exchange..."

"Pay foreign exchange." Li Jiankun said that foreign exchange is really not important to him compared to others.

"I feel like they can take action even with a 50% discount!"

Li Jiankun heard that it was a broken bone, which seemed... not that big of a difference.

"Uncle, it's quite cold today. I don't think there are many people coming here to visit now. Why not find a restaurant to drink two cups of warm wine and chat slowly. I have to rely on you for this matter."

Li Jiankun took advantage of the handshake and stuffed a packet of Huazi, so skillfully that it made people feel distressed.

"It's easy to talk about."
