Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

After explaining these six points, Wang An answered various questions raised by the crowd, as well as methods for dealing with or resolving various problems.

To be honest, these are very important issues, because they are all problems that everyone can think of that will happen or might happen. Even Wang An could not have foreseen all of them in a short time.

However, Wang An had a wealth of business experience from his previous life, so answering the question was not difficult at all.

Of course, the main reason is that most people in this era are relatively easy to please and don't cause much trouble. If there are really customers who are nitpicky and unreasonable, you can just call them out and that's it. There's no need to indulge them at all.

During this discussion, Wang An did most of the talking while everyone else listened, and the sales manager, Sun Jianhua, was mainly responsible for taking notes.

However, Wang An's words pointed the way for the group of people who were like headless flies, letting everyone know what they should do next.

After the meeting, it was lunchtime.

Then Wu Dong said with a happy face:
"Today's meeting was definitely worthwhile! Let's go to the state-run restaurant to celebrate, hahaha!"

Wang Shuai also said happily:

"Yeah, today's meeting was really good. I didn't expect Xiao An to have so many tricks up his sleeve. He's really got this motorcycle factory running smoothly. I've learned a lot of things. We should have a proper celebration."

Wang An, however, smiled and stopped everyone, saying:
"We've only just started, what's there to celebrate? We can celebrate when the motorcycles are selling like hotcakes. If you ask me, let's eat in the canteen for now and see what the food is like in our motorcycle factory canteen."

Ever since the incident at the pharmaceutical factory caused so much trouble, Wang An realized that you could often tell if a factory was having problems just by looking at the food in the canteen.

The motorcycle factory is still a new factory, and those dirty tricks shouldn't happen anytime soon, but Wang An still wanted to see it.

After Wang An finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in surprise, and then Zhang Shuya said:
"Yeah, let's just grab a quick bite in the cafeteria. I have to go back to the bureau for a meeting this afternoon. There are so many meetings these days; I have a feeling something big is going on up there."

So, instead of leaving the factory, everyone ate their meal in the canteen.

However, just as Wang An had predicted, no problems were found in the cafeteria.

The staple food was steamed buns made from two kinds of flour and rice. The side dishes were one meat dish and one vegetable dish. The meat dish was pork stew with sauerkraut, vermicelli, and tofu. The vegetable dish was potato stew with cabbage. Both dishes tasted very good. In any case, Wang An felt that he was eating a proper and good meal.

After a quick meal, everyone went their separate ways to get busy.

Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian went back to their workplace for a meeting, Wu Dong went to handle the store's affairs, which involved the collective canteen, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang went to the radio station and newspaper office respectively to deal with advertising matters, and Wang Shuai went to find someone to make a signboard.

Only Wang An stayed at the factory, responsible for training the workers who had no sales experience whatsoever.

This busy period lasted for several days in a row.

A week later, "Longjiang Motorcycle" officially opened for business amidst deafening firecrackers.

It must be admitted that with the combined efforts of these second-generation leaders, there really isn't anything difficult to do in this county town.

The so-called review, approval, inspection, and verification processes are practically useless; they have no effect whatsoever in the motorcycle factory.

Wu Dong didn't even show his face; he only sent one subordinate, who completed all the procedures for the sales store in less than two hours—that was incredibly fast.

After receiving 6 yuan, Wang An acquired the former collective canteen across from the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as the large courtyard where it was located. He did some simple repairs and renovations, and Longjiang Motorcycles immediately opened for business.

Unlike the quiet opening of the pharmaceutical factory, the motorcycle shop's opening day was quite lively.

Because of Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya, many people from various organizations came to the store that day.

The county's cultural center also sent a performance team to promote the event, with songs, dances, and Errenzhuan (a traditional folk art form) taking turns on stage, almost attracting people from the entire county to this courtyard.

The main reason is that spiritual life is quite lacking in this era. With such a good program available for free, everyone would want to take a look!

Of course, it's not entirely because of these lively and entertaining programs that so many people are attracted here.

The overwhelming advertisements and flyers these days have also played a significant role.

In short, the name "Longjiang Motorcycle" became a household name in DJ County in just one week.

On the day of its opening, many unit leaders and factory managers chose to buy a "Longjiang 70" motorcycle.

Wang An also generously gave each of these people a pair of cotton handlebar grips, two cotton leg warmers, and a cotton windproof blanket. In addition, he also gave each of them three free oil changes.

These items look exquisite and sophisticated, but they actually cost very little; the total cost is less than 20 yuan.

Even so, Wang An's brilliant move made these people from Ling Island feel very proud.

These items are all clearly priced in the store. If calculated based on the selling price, they would add up to fifty or sixty yuan.

As for engine oil maintenance, motorcycles only need 1 liter of engine oil, which costs just over 6 cents. We can afford to give it away 30 times, let alone 3 times.

Anyway, the price of motorcycles is higher than the price in Harbin, so we can make a profit no matter how we deliver them.

However, the "face" of Ling Island was given in a timely manner.

To put it simply, its emotional value is absolutely off the charts.

The good news is that 31 motorcycles were sold on the first day of business.

In a county town at that time, selling 31 motorcycles worth more than 3,500 yuan in a single day was definitely something to celebrate.

If converted to Chinese yuan, the total cost of all the motorcycle parts in this batch, when averaged across each motorcycle, would only amount to a little over 1,500 yuan per motorcycle.

Of course, this cost does not include various expenses such as factory construction fees, storefront fees, advertising fees, and personnel expenses.

If these costs are included, the cost of each motorcycle would be about 200 yuan higher.

Even so, everyone was extremely satisfied with the profits from motorcycles!
He earned over 5 yuan in a single day—even robbery couldn't have done that fast these days! (End of Chapter)
