Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 97 The luggage project is getting closer

In the early morning of April 4, Wang Jiankun, who had slept a good night's sleep, went to the rear deck in the morning light to do a set of military boxing, and then went to the captain's lounge to wash and change clothes.

When he came out and was about to buy breakfast, he didn't expect Ding Shengli to be waiting by the boat. He was holding the steamed buns, flower rolls and siu mai he bought in brown paper in his arms to prevent them from getting cold. When he saw Wang Jiankun coming out, he quickly shouted, "Boss, good morning. I bought you breakfast. Please have some!"

"Okay, you're thoughtful. I'll lower the gangway, come on up, and I'll show you around the ship after dinner."

"okay!"

After the gangway was put in place, he quickly trotted onto the boat and came to Wang Jiankun, then followed Wang Jiankun to the captain's lounge.

Seeing a table inside, he looked at Wang Jiankun and put breakfast on the table.

Wang Jiankun saw that there were a lot of them, so he asked him to eat together.

Ding Shengli didn't act pretentiously. After Wang Jiankun started eating, he also picked up his breakfast and started eating.

It’s true that the breakfast that Ding Shengli bought was quite delicious, especially the steamed buns, which had a great texture and were very fragrant. They contained mushrooms, diced meat and quail eggs, so they must have been expensive.

After the meal, Wang Jiankun took him to see the cockpit, explained the names of the various components and their general operations, then took him to see the passenger room and cargo hold, and finally took him to the engine room on the lower floor to broaden his horizons.

I looked at the time and it was almost 8:, so I got on my motorcycle and took him to the newly bought house on Nanjing Road.

There was already someone waiting at the door. It was the landlord's relative who had come to Wang Jiankun to exchange currency yesterday. He heard the sound of the motorcycle and quickly looked over. After Wang Jiankun parked the motorcycle at the door, he came up and asked, "Boss Wang, thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry to bother you to come over."

"It's okay. I'm planning to invest in China. It's the same whether I ask you or someone else to make the deal. I bought your relative's house, so I'm half a relative now. Why do you say it's hard work?"

"Yes, yes, yes~, we can be considered half relatives. This house will be vacant at noon today. You can come and check it out then. It will definitely be in good condition."

The landlord couple were honest and didn't talk much. Since they were moving abroad, they only packed some personal belongings and left everything else untouched. After helping to make tea, they stepped aside to organize their things.

Seeing this, Ding Shengli also prepared to leave. Wang Jiankun didn't want to hide anything from him and wanted to use him in the future, so he asked him to watch from the side.

The landlord's relative took a few sips of tea, chatted for a while, then opened the bag he was carrying and took out 5 yuan, all of which were 10-yuan Big Unity notes, 50 stacks in total.

Wang Jiankun looked at the US dollars in the bag and saw that there were a lot of them, so he took them all out and counted out a few hundred and put them in his pocket.

The landlord's relative saw that Wang Jiankun still had some money and asked if he could exchange for more. Wang Jiankun disagreed and said, "I'll keep the remaining few hundred for my own pocket money. You've exchanged more than 9 yuan. There will be opportunities in the future."

"Okay! That's fine. We'll be neighbors from now on. If you want to exchange RMB, come to me. The price will be based on the current market price. You won't suffer any loss. What do you think?"

"Okay, now that the change is done, I have something else to do. I will come back to take over the house in the afternoon. From now on, my little brother will open a small shop here, so please take care of it."

"Okay, okay. Opening a store is good. The country now encourages opening stores to boost the economy. If you have any problems, come to me and I will definitely handle it."

After leaving, Wang Jiankun saw that it was still early, so he rode his bike along Nanjing Road and bought some local specialties in a newly opened department store to take home as gifts.

This department store mainly sells goods imported from Japan. The food here includes canned fish, canned fruit, instant noodles, etc. There are also several brands of electrical appliances, including televisions, refrigerators, and air conditioners from Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, etc.

However, most of them require foreign currency or foreign exchange coupons to buy. Wang Jiankun looked at the prices and found that they were quite expensive. A black and white TV was equivalent to 1500 RMB according to the official exchange rate. And there were quite a few people buying TVs. It seems that the domestic demand for TVs is really great. Wang Jiankun even wanted to build a factory to produce TVs.

But after thinking about it, I feel that it is not cost-effective. China is vigorously introducing second-hand TV production lines from Japan, Europe and the United States. It won't be long before the production capacity will explode. At that time, the price will definitely drop and the profit will be greatly reduced.

Currently, Xingyao Electronics is still expanding its electronic watch production line, and its wafer line has just been put into operation. It has already reached a talent bottleneck. After a while, let them investigate whether the circuit boards of these newly built TV factories are self-produced or imported. If most of them are imported, Xingyao Electronics can enter the circuit board production and supply these TV factories.

Doing so is also in line with Xingyao Electronics' development strategy. Now they are making small circuit boards, and then making mature circuit boards for televisions. After the workers are trained, they will start making computer circuit boards and use self-produced wafers and chips at the same time. The entire industrial chain will be almost complete.

After buying things, Wang Jiankun went to the villa he bought yesterday. It was agreed that the house would be handed over at noon, so now was just the right time to go there.

"Boss Wang, you came at the right time. I have just finished cleaning. Please come and take a look. If there is no problem, I will hand the key to you and move your luggage away right away." said the former landlord Zhou Weiyang.

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look. You wait in the yard." Then he went into the house and started to take a look.

While looking with his eyes, he also used his super powers to check again. First of all, he found that no one had touched the secret room in the basement, which meant that Zhou Weiyang didn't know that there was such a secret room in his home. Perhaps, as he said, his parents passed away suddenly at that time, so they didn't tell the three siblings.

Other places were the same as what we saw yesterday, with two large boxes moved out of the room where Zhou Weiyang used to live. They should be his personal belongings.

"Boss Zhou, I checked it out and it's all right. Just give me the key and you can leave."

"Okay, it's a pleasure doing business with you. Please keep the keys. Goodbye. Oh! We may not see each other again in the future. I will take a plane to the United States in two days and may never come back in this life." Before leaving, Zhou Weiyang showed off a little. He felt how glorious it was to go to the United States.

Wang Jiankun felt speechless when he heard his nonsensical superiority. What's the point of going to the United States and living off your savings like this? The $1 from selling the house will be shared among the people over there, and if you don't have a job, it will be all gone in no time. Even if you look for a job, you won't be able to find a good one as you don't have any skills.

"Well, be careful when you go to America. It's hard to find a job there in a foreign country."

"Don't worry, my second grandfather has arranged everything for me. There will be work to do when I get there, and the salary is several times higher than in China."

"In that case, congratulations. Walk slowly, Ding Shengli, help Mr. Zhou move his luggage, and come back later."

"Okay, boss."

"Boss Wang is very particular. Thank you, Brother Ding. To be honest, if you didn't help me, I would have to carry it twice more."

"You're welcome to lend a hand." Ding Shengli said as he reached for the box. After the two of them left, Wang Jiankun used his superpowers to modify the door locks and the matching keys, so that even Zhou Weiyang couldn't open the door with the spare key.

Then he modified the electrical wiring in the entire house. The original wires were relatively thin, so Wang Jiankun used the copper elements he brought from his motorcycle to supplement them and make the wires thicker. He also added sockets in some places to make it convenient for him to have sockets when buying new electrical appliances in the future.

Then a mobile communication base station was built on the roof. It is very close to Yangzhou and can be connected to the previous mobile communication network. After Ding Shengli has passed the probation period, the text machine can be given to him for use. Communication will then be more convenient. In the early stage, he will still be asked to send telegrams to report on his work.

Wang Jiankun looked at the location of the mechanism in the secret room and found that it might have been destroyed during the previous riot, or it might have been destroyed by Zhou Weiyang's father. In short, the mechanism could not be used now. Either he had to dig up several layers of stone slabs or repair the mechanism. Wang Jiankun currently did not plan to move the things inside and just let it remain as it was.

About half an hour later, Ding Shengli came back after helping with the moving of the luggage. Wang Jiankun told him about the future maintenance requirements for the house, such as the yard should be cleaned regularly, the weeds should be cleared regularly, the windows should be opened for ventilation when the weather is good, the electricity should be checked regularly, and the power should not be cut off for a long time, etc.

Ding Shengli was well prepared and took out a notebook to write it down.

When Wang Jiankun saw him taking notes with a pen, he felt that he was more reliable, so after taking over the two-story building on Nanjing Road in the afternoon, he authorized Ding Shengli to decorate the house.

The lower floor facing the street can be turned into two stores, one selling lighters and the other selling electronic watches. Then we can hire a salesperson, who can be the relatives of those who had dinner last night.

There are three rooms upstairs, and Wang Jiankun plans to turn them into dormitories so that people from the shipping team can stay there at night. So the beds will be bunk beds, with two people staying in each room. Compared with Shanghai's current living environment, it is still very spacious. The kitchen and bathroom upstairs have to be shared.

Ding Shengli wrote down everything. After he had noted down the requirements and precautions, Wang Jiankun took out the design of the counter and asked him to find someone to build it. Then he took out 300 US dollars and gave it to him, asking him to use the money to decorate and hire someone to maintain the villa. When the time comes, he will give him the bill and he can refund any excess or pay more.

After arranging these things, Wang Jiankun drove the C-200 to his hometown in Wuyuan overnight.

----

Early in the morning on April 1982, 4, Wang Jiankun went to school for morning reading. When he went to find Teacher He to report for leave, he also asked him why he returned to school a day earlier this time.

Wang Jiankun took two bottles of Japanese sake and gave them to Teacher He. As for the question about arriving at school early, he pretended not to hear it. If the warning radar had not detected the American aircraft coming for reconnaissance, he would have stayed there for two days and tried to build a supersonic fighter to fly down.

After returning to the classroom, Wang Jiankun gave the specialties to Yu Zirun and Fang Guihua, and took the test questions accumulated over the past two weeks from them.

"Jiankun, wait a minute, let's go to the school gate to eat noodles. I'll treat you." Class monitor Wu Xiaoyi ran over to find Wang Jiankun as soon as the morning reading class was over.

Seeing that he had something to say to me, I agreed: "Okay, I haven't eaten noodles for a long time. If you treat me, I have to eat something good. I want big chops and eggs!"

"Okay, no problem, let's go!"

After leaving the campus gate, he wanted to go to the stall that sold delicious food, but the class monitor Wu Xiaoyi took him to another newly opened breakfast shop. He ordered pork chop noodles with eggs for Wang Jiankun, and he ordered pork liver and shredded pork noodles for himself.

After sitting down, Wu Xiaoyi spoke first: "Jiankun, why did you take so long to take leave? I heard from Teacher He that you went to your uncle's place in Guangshi. Is there something urgent going on with your uncle?"

"Yes, didn't my uncle open an electronics factory in Guangshi at the end of last year? Because the electronic watches they made were very popular, they started to expand production at the beginning of this year. They asked me to help with some technical issues, so I took a leave of absence for a while."

"Electronic watch, is this one?"

"Huh? You bought one too? What do you think?"

"It's pretty good. It has its own advantages over mechanical watches. This watch looks good and is suitable for us young people. Many of my friends went to Raozhou to buy one."

"It seems that this watch is really popular, so my younger uncle planned to expand production. Unexpectedly, he encountered technical problems, so my older uncle sent a telegram asking me to help take a look."

The two chatted for a while, and when the rice noodles were served, they ate half a bowl first, then slowed down and continued chatting.

"Jiankun, to be honest, I came to you because I want you to contact your uncle again to see if the suitcase project from last year can continue."

"Continue? Has the county agreed?"

"Almost done. My dad has just made some progress. Now the county's development strategy is to follow the central government and carry out reform and opening up. So the industrial and commercial reform is going to start with this suitcase project. Can you help ask again? The county will definitely not give up halfway this time."

"Okay, no problem. Although my uncle had to cooperate with Guangshi to open an electronics factory because of the failure of this project, it was a blessing in disguise. The electronic watch factory is developing very well. It should be no problem for me to persuade him to invest here. However, the scale this time may have to be larger. If it is too small, my uncle may not be interested."

"Can the scale be even bigger? The last plan was to have a 100-acre factory area and produce 2 suitcases per month. Based on the factory price of 20 yuan per piece, that would be an annual output value of nearly 500 million yuan."

"Yes, you said you didn't know my uncle's electronics factory. The output value in the first month of this year was almost one million. Now they are adding production lines every month. The monthly output value may reach 6 million in the second half of the year. So if the project is too small, he may not be interested, because he still needs to send people, and now the manpower is starting to be very tight."

Wu Xiaoyi was frightened by Wang Jiankun's words. After taking a few bites of noodles, he said, "Then how big do you think the luggage project should be to attract your uncle to invest."

"At least the annual output value should be 1 million. My uncle had a batch of this type of suitcase made by hand and took it to an exhibition. The customers liked it very much. So he planned to build a factory in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the second half of the year, and then mainly sell it overseas."

"1 million? That means doubling the original amount? We have no shortage of land, but it may be difficult to get the supporting facilities."

"If we want to do it, we should do it on a larger scale. I will try my best to persuade my uncle. Or we can build it in two phases. The first phase can produce 24 pieces per year. After the first phase is put into production, we can build the second phase. This way, there will be less pressure on supporting facilities."

"Your idea is good. The land can be reserved first, and the supporting projects can also reserve land. Then let's make a deal. You contact your uncle first, and we can talk about it tomorrow. How about that? If your uncle agrees, I will take you to meet my father and finalize the time for the project signing?"

"Sure. I'll send a telegram after I finish eating. I'll call my eldest uncle at noon to confirm. My youngest uncle can represent me in domestic investment. He has also hired a general manager in Guangzhou. When the time comes, my youngest uncle's representative may come to sign the contract."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"It's not a problem. This is also for the development of my hometown."
