My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 150: Loaded into the atmosphere for several layers, but not built by myself

In 1984, the whole society hoped to admire Europe and the United States, but not many people would kneel down because they did not know how big the gap was.

Most of the old comrades who have never been abroad are still very disgusted.

Therefore, Wei Dong's statement immediately made many people nod in approval.

The paper mill was unhappy, but didn't say anything.

Weidong sensed that he wasn't going to charge anyone with an offense, so he quietly probed: "So based on this core idea, we won't just do what the foreigners say, and we won't dare to change anything after introducing an overseas production line."

After a pause, seeing that the other party didn't slam the table and stood up, and even tilted his head to whisper, he revealed the core of the matter: "If you ask me, this imported production line, foreign devils..."

A leader coughed: "We should still show some respect to foreign investors."

Oh, right. What kind of conference room is this? Weidong apologized quickly. "Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm used to this in the factory. Foreign...foreign companies sell us this kind of production line. Their real purpose is the same as selling consumables for printers. They can give the machine production line away for free. The key is to make the biggest profit from selling raw materials. So, we must emphasize throughout the process that our equipment is very advanced and valuable. It cannot be replaced with any cheap homemade consumables. If there is any problem, you will be responsible for it. We will not provide warranty..."

At the end, he still squeezed in some weird accents to imitate the Japanese.

The three girls tried hard not to laugh, and the female cadres at the conference table all had expressions on their faces that said, "This kid is really naughty."

Most of the men's expressions became more and more serious.

Because I can tell that what he said is absolutely true.

Even the paper mill leaders looked at each other with horror on their faces.

This young man from the inland southwest region seems to have no chance of contacting foreign businessmen, but he sees through the other party's behavior and internal logic?

Judging from Mr. Jing's way of thinking, there must be an expert behind this.

What can Weidong say? In the end, which capitalist and which commercial brand does not do this?

So he was really used to it: "So we won't fall for it. At the Guangdong Trade Fair, Jiangzhou, relying on its complete cotton mills and chemical plants, as well as the technical strength of electromechanical and materials science professionals developed by universities, chose to digest and introduce the technology from ink pads. We are completely self-sufficient in raw materials. This thing... after all, isn't it just an absorbent towel?"

Everyone's face was a little embarrassed, mainly because it was easy for them to have images in their minds.

Weidong really felt that sanitary napkins were nothing special, and later any unscrupulous workshop could produce counterfeit products in large quantities.

This thing is just absorbent cotton, and its purpose is to absorb water. As for the raw materials used, as long as the skin does not resist it and the production line is disinfected in the later stage, it is fine.

Since the "introduction of a production line" has already been blown, I might as well be more complete: "So we are currently developing the second generation of products, and we need to distinguish between two types of products for daytime use and nighttime use..."

The scene was filled with wow again...

The man was amazed and the woman couldn't help but applaud!

At the beginning, Zhang Lanzhi lived alone in the guesthouse and had no contact with Dong Xueying. It was only when she was in Shangzhou that she learned the actual situation.

Weidong immediately realized that the wing protectors were really necessary.

The guys at the paper mill were speechless.

Let's see Weidong finish his big plan. "We are also focusing on developing diapers for infants and young children. We hope to launch them on the market in the summer, completely eliminating the tedious task of washing diapers when men get home."

Several men immediately applauded in sympathy, and when they noticed they were being stared at with astonishment, they tried to hide.

The Beijing gentlemen all laughed and asked, "Are there many gay men in your southwest region who wash diapers?"

Weidong was asked to wash frequently, and he was puzzled: "What's the big deal? It's only natural to do something for my wife and children."

All the lesbians in the audience applauded.

Seeing that the supply and marketing cooperative had a good attitude, he quickly flattered them: "Then, regarding our product being sold to the supply and marketing cooperative and provided to the people across the country..."

Unexpectedly, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative actually played Tai Chi: "The idea is good, but can your current production meet the needs of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

Wei Dong turned around and gave a signal, and Shen Cuiyue and Xiao Xiao hurriedly took the photos to distribute them.

"According to our actual calculations, the main consumers are still urban residents, with an average daily consumption of approximately 500 to 5,000 packs. This varies greatly depending on population size and consumption capacity. Therefore, nationwide, urban consumption should be in the millions per day. We are currently able to achieve a daily output of 200,000 packs. Increasing to the million level is not difficult; it is just a gradual process."

A million bags?
Assuming that each lesbian uses two or three packs per month, the average daily usage is only in the millions?
There are so many people of school-age in the country.

Then, Rang Weidong revealed, "Please take a look at our black-and-white photos. They show us trying to sell the product through a rural supply and marketing cooperative. We were selling each pack for one yuan, or even a dime a piece. We were targeting a commune, twelve brigades, and about 10,000 people, yet we only sold eight to ten packs a day. Is it because people don't want it? Is the product bad?"

The laughter from before was gone, leaving only the cold and cruel reality.

Wei Dong, Dong Xueying and Li Erfeng were asked to take cameras to take pictures in the city and county to buy the lottery tickets, and most of them were scenes of people queuing up to buy the tickets.

The only black and white films I gave to two or three fellow villagers were to sit in the rural supply and marketing cooperative and wait for a whole day before I could take a few pictures.

The gap between the rural population, which makes up the vast majority of the population, is now unimaginable.

Even the college students, who are mostly city kids, have never seen it.

Even the July heat couldn't suppress the reality, forcing Weidong to try not to laugh. "We can't afford it. Most rural women aren't included at all. So, our Dongsheng Daily Necessities Factory is begging the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to give us this opportunity to provide our products. We can offer sanitary napkins to all supply and marketing cooperatives at a rock-bottom price of 50 cents a pack, just to keep the price as low as possible for delivery to the vast rural areas. As for our cost losses, we'll make up for them with urban social sales. That's all I'm saying."

Regardless of whether you understand the principles of commercial retail and commodity circulation, at least I just explained that 48 cents is the raw material + labor cost of each package of products, and nothing else is included.

If we dare to provide 50 cents to the supply and marketing cooperative, we are definitely making a loss.

Anyway, those people at the paper mill were completely convinced. How could this be compared? It was so overwhelming.

But most people who didn't understand business and industrial manufacturing just thought that this young man was willing to spend all his money to do good deeds, especially all the female comrades, who all applauded.

The Women's Federation and the newspaper both spoke up, "We've all seen it! It's fantastic! The product is great, and the young leaders' ideas are excellent. The supply and marketing system should support it!" The Supply and Marketing Cooperative discussed the matter for a moment, saying, "In principle, we agree, but there are two issues with implementation. First, regarding the allocation of goods—can you deliver them provincially? Second, we still need to address the current production scale and the north-south regional issues..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate the paper mill over here.

Weidong suddenly felt as if he saw the old leader of Shangzhou controlling him!
That’s right, the prerequisite for the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to agree to include the product in the sales list is to solve the problem of the sanitary napkin production line of the Pingjing paper mill being completely abandoned and idle.

Even if Weidong explained that his company has a weekly transportation capacity of three lines in the north, south and central regions, this is already very advanced in the country, and can even be regarded as the leading logistics capability of private manufacturers.

It is not possible to deliver goods uniformly to all provinces in the country at present, but it can still be done in some provinces.

Start from small to large.

The China Supply and Marketing Cooperative still requires that the problem with the first domestic production line must be resolved first.

Weidong was so upset that he said, "This is a problem you introduced, it's none of my business."

But from the perspective of planned economy, it is right for the whole country to coordinate as one.

You have emerged as a dark horse this year and are trying to seize the national market. You have squeezed out all your competitors by competing on price, quality, transportation and service... Well, there is only one competitor at the moment, and it is a competitor that invested heavily just two years ago. You have to take this responsibility.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that prove that the previous statement was wrong?

We all work in this area, and we see each other every day. Who will take the responsibility for this slap in the face?

Of course, this is what the daily newspaper came to explain to Rang Weidong.

They pulled in the Women's Federation and urged the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to agree in principle to sign a letter of intent, which meant that the matter was half settled.

All that’s left is for Weidong to solve the problem by himself.

As a secretary, Shen Cuiyue did obtain the contact list of all provincial supply and marketing cooperatives across the country provided by the China Supply and Marketing Cooperatives Corporation, and could start making contact preparations, but the provincial supply and marketing cooperatives would only cooperate in accepting this product after obtaining official documents.

If it weren't for his actual mental age of sixty, twenty-year-old Rang Weidong might have exploded upstairs.

But he could still smile with a smile on his face, shaking hands and communicating with several people from the paper mill.

Get a rough idea.

He received very satisfied pats on the shoulders from those from the daily newspaper and the Women's Federation. A female leader even kindly told He Yuemei and others to learn more from Xiao Rang.

Rang Weidong was originally planning to treat everyone to a meal, but the paper mill staff pulled him aside and said, "Come on, let's go to our factory and take a look."

At first glance, it’s the mentality of someone marrying off their daughter at an older age.

The daily newspaper advised Weidong to go over and communicate properly to resolve the problem. We will discuss the National Photography Exhibition tomorrow. The leader of Triumph Film Studio will be coming tomorrow. You should bring the comrade who asked the leader to write the inscription with you.

He inadvertently helped Weidong to keep the place going.

The women's federation asked a few questions in a low voice, and the sudden realization on Weidong's face made him no longer a lonely factory owner.

Besides, when everyone came down, they saw two cars parked in front of the office building.

That dazzling blue-gray off-road vehicle, with its elegant demeanor after being stripped of all the dross, is really like thirty years from now, when everyone comes out of a meeting in a conference hall, all driving Audis, Passats, and at most Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs, but you drive a supercar with dazzling, colorful scissor doors.

Besides thinking that you are extremely arrogant and don't want to work in the system anymore, people think that you are really rich and probably have someone to rely on.

Thirty or forty years later, people felt that having real money was just a reliance, but now most people believe that having background and connections are the foundation.

The tractor driver seemed like a conspicuous person. I don't know where he got a pair of white gloves from, but he was wiping the car carefully!

There were a lot of people passing by, staff coming in and out of the building, especially the Xinhuashe Photo Agency's printing center downstairs.

There are even quite a few shots taken with lenses, and the proportion of high-end cameras here is particularly high.

The knowledge is also relatively higher.

It was only in February that regulations were issued allowing private individuals to buy and sell vehicles and ships. The purpose was to make vehicles and ships into means of production and further relax various constraints on productivity.

As a result, you skipped the production tool and turned it into a toy.

This is even more impressive than a luxury car.

Others spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy expensive imported cars for face, but here we buy this car just for fun.

The standard is several layers outside the atmosphere, even if people at that time would not describe it that way.

But the more knowledgeable I am, the more awesome I think they are.

In other places, it may be difficult to find someone who is rich and well-connected, with connections that are several levels higher than others.

In Shanghai and Pingjing, this kind of thing is rare, but normal.

In addition, the college students who had been silent before and concentrated on learning every word of the boss, now followed him in neat clothes, got on the car nimbly and waited.

The tractor driver quickly handed the car keys back.

Let Weidong drive away casually.

That style that is ahead of its time.

The masters from the paper mill returned to their hand-painted vans, and they couldn't help but discuss it, and then suggested that you take over the production line.
