Delivering bricks is a hard job, tiring and dirty. Usually, two people deliver bricks to customers, so they can take care of each other, so it is not so tiring. But Guan Yuntian is from the countryside, young and has a lot of strength. He feels

Although loading and unloading red bricks is a bit tiring, it is nothing compared to when he was dumping reed mats in his hometown.

I think it was also the height of summer back then. He hit the road early in the morning, pulling a cart loaded with two to three hundred kilograms of reed mats, and had to walk for six or seven hours to reach the market in another town. He could endure all the hardships and exhaustion.

They all can bear it. Now that the campus red brick factory has just been owned by him, in order to save labor costs, Guan Yuntian does not have any loaders and all bricks delivered to customers are self-loading and self-unloading.

One hot afternoon, Guan Yuntian drove a tractor to deliver red bricks to a customer. As usual, he did not bring a loader. By the time he unloaded a large truck of red bricks, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and Guan Yuntian was exhausted.

After resting on the driver's seat of the tractor for a few minutes, Guan Yuntian drove the tractor back. Because the road was crowded, he slowly drove forward for more than 200 meters. Just when he was about to change gears and speed up, a man with a good appearance on the roadside saw him.

The gentle middle-aged man walked towards him and greeted him: "Master, are you going towards the county seat? Can you enter the county seat?"

Guan Yuntian stopped the car and said, "Into the county town? Oh, no, I'll go back to the brick factory."

"Oh, forget it then." After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and walked forward a little disappointed.

Guan Yuntian felt that the man seemed to be in trouble, so he chased after him with his tractor, "I said, you asked me if I can enter the county town, are you in trouble?"

"I thought you were going into the county, and I wanted to give you a ride."

Guan Yuntian stopped the car and said, "Come up, I will take you to the county seat."

"Forget it, you still have to take a detour, I'll think of another way."

"What solution can you come up with? It's difficult to get a taxi here. If you don't take a taxi, you won't be able to reach the county seat in two hours." Guan Yuntian was worried about the other party.

"This is too bad. You have to take a long way around. I think it's better to forget it."

"Why are you such a verbose person? What's wrong with you? The county town is in the same direction as my brick factory. I'll take you to the county town. It will take you a few kilometers at most, so it's considered a ride. You can get in the car quickly."

On the tractor, the middle-aged man took the initiative to talk to Guan Yuntian, "Master, I don't think you are in this business?"

"Why do you think I don't look like someone who does this? Are there any distinguishing features of someone who delivers bricks?"

"I've seen many people delivering bricks to factories, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you."

"Then tell me what I do?"

"It doesn't look like a professional pulling bricks anyway."

"I admire your vision, I can't hide it. After I graduated from Normal College, I was assigned to be a teacher at Chengguan Central Primary School. I teach."

"I'm just telling you. Well, you are a teacher, how come you started making bricks and delivering bricks?" The middle-aged man was very curious.

Guan Yuntian talked to the middle-aged people about his experience of leaving the front line of teaching and going into business in a campus factory.

"It turns out that you are a college student. You should have relatively rich knowledge. If you go to school to run a factory, you won't be involved in the brick-making industry!" The middle-aged man said very confused.

"It's easy to make money by baking bricks. Besides, I really don't know what to do if I don't bake bricks." Guan Yuntian said nonchalantly.

The middle-aged man disagreed, "The red brick industry is consuming high-quality land resources. This industry cannot grow. The policy risks are very high. Sooner or later it will be stopped by the government. How can you say you don't know what to do when you guard so many tire companies in Fuyuan County?"

Okay?"

As he was talking, the tractor drove into the city, "We've arrived at the county seat, where exactly are you going?" Guan Yuntian asked.

"I just need to get off the bus here and walk a few steps forward."

"Why bother? I can just send you wherever you want to go."

The middle-aged man said that he went to pick up a friend at the long-distance bus station. Guan Yuntian drove the tractor and walked a little further. When he arrived outside the long-distance bus station, Guan Yuntian parked the car on the side of the road. Just when the middle-aged man was about to get off the car,

Guan Yuntian asked: "There are indeed many companies producing tires in Fuyuan County, but I am a complete layman. May I ask, sir, what product do you think we should make more suitable?"

The middle-aged man got off the car and stood in front of the tractor, "You know that in addition to rubber, several auxiliary materials are used to produce tires. You can choose any one."

It turned out that this middle-aged man, known as Li Gong, was named Li Changjin and was a technical expert hired by a large tire company in Fuyuan County. He was going to the county long-distance bus station to pick up a friend who came to see him from out of town.

Guan Yuntian is a kind-hearted person. Before leaving, he suggested that Guan Yuntian produce cord fabric for tires.

Fuyuan County is one of the top 100 counties in the country. Township enterprises and private enterprises are very developed. Within a few years, more than a dozen vehicle tire manufacturing enterprises of varying sizes have emerged.

After returning to work, Guan Yuntian washed himself up after a tiring day, changed his clothes, and rarely got off work on time and went home on time.

After dinner, his wife Zhou Yuanyuan took the children for a walk in the square. Guan Yuntian was too lazy to move. He lay on the sofa and fell asleep, but the words of Li Gong, the man who took the bus that afternoon, lingered in his mind.

"This industry destroys high-quality land resources, and the policy risks are very high. Sooner or later, it will be stopped by the policy." These words touched Guan Yuntian's sensitive nerves.

Although he is not a politician, he has received a higher education. Guan Yuntian understands the meaning of "policy risks and will be stopped by the policy sooner or later". Maybe one day he wakes up and goes to work. As soon as he arrives at the office, he receives a red-headed document.

Ordering this industry to shut down immediately is not necessarily a fantasy. If that happens, everything will be in vain. By then, it will be too late to cry.

Li Gong suggested switching to the production of cord fabric for tires. Guan Yuntian felt that he knew nothing about that industry. He hesitated at first, but then he thought about it. When he went from the central primary school to the campus factory, he had never been exposed to the red brick industry.

Aren't you still trying to be the best in the county? Nothing is natural. As long as you are good at learning, there is no knowledge you don't understand.

Take a look at the tire business owners in this county. As far as Guan Yuntian knows, many of them have only graduated from junior high school. Some of them have not even finished elementary school. They did not know what synthetic rubber and natural rubber are at the beginning.

They don’t understand the difference between radial tires and bias tires, but that doesn’t affect them at all in making their company famous throughout the country.

After all, he is also a college graduate. Although he went to a normal college, his cultural foundation is always much higher than those people. If they can do well, Guan Yuntian believes that he can do it too. With this idea, Guan Yuntian's

My heart suddenly became enlightened.

After all, Guan Yuntian is an educated person. Before making further decisions, he made a special trip to the bookstore in Huayuan City to buy professional books on tires and cord fabrics. Not that he wanted to make much achievements in this area, but for himself

Guan Yuntian felt that he should at least have a general understanding of the fields he was about to get involved in.

Combining what he learned during visits and surveys and what he learned from professional books, Guan Yuntian learned that the tire manufacturing industry requires a large amount of cord fabric as raw materials. He was completely tempted by this matter and officially decided to switch the company to the production of cord fabric.

Based on what we learned, the technical difficulty and financial requirements for producing cord fabric are vastly different from producing red bricks. Although he has decided to switch production, Guan Yuntian did not dare to act rashly until technical support and funding sources were secured.

According to the contact information he left when leaving that day, Guan Yuntian dialed the number of Li Changjin’s office and asked, “Is Mr. Li here?”

"I am Li Changjin, who are you?"

"Gong Li, I am Guan Yuntian from the campus red brick factory. We met a few days ago."

"I remembered, Boss Guan, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Gong Li, I have something I would like to consult with you about. Could you please take some time to come to the county seat? I want to meet you."

"Go to the county seat----, oh, I don't always have time!"

"Then on the weekend, after you get off work, take a taxi to the county town, stay in the city that night after dinner, and return to the factory the next day. I will be responsible for all expenses. Do you think that's okay?"

"Well, just this weekend, I will go to the city to find you."

At six o'clock on Friday evening, Guan Yuntian waited for Li Changjin's arrival at the agreed place. After meeting, they went to a nice hotel in the county. Guan Yuntian asked for a small private room, and the two ordered dishes and drinks according to their own preferences.

Prepare to chat while eating.

Li Gong was eager to know the purpose of Guan Yuntian's visit to him. While waiting for the food to be served, he asked: "Boss Guan, you asked me to meet, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"What you said to me on the tractor that day moved me."

"I seemed to have said a lot of words on the tractor. I wonder if those words made you tempted?"

"It is suggested that I switch production. You said that the red brick industry cannot grow. The policy risks are too great and sooner or later it will be stopped by the local government. In fact, I have experience with this, because our campus red brick factory is the largest and best in the county.

, someone reported us for destroying land resources out of jealousy, which resulted in an investigation by the Land Bureau’s Inspection Section. I spent a lot of effort to settle the matter. Isn’t this a concrete manifestation of the policy risk you mentioned?

?"

"what's your plan?"

"Didn't I tell you to follow your advice and switch production?"

"Transfer? What exactly do you want to do? Have you thought about it?"

"Produce tire cord fabric! This is also the suggestion you gave me."

"Oh, that's great. When will your plan be implemented?" Seeing that his suggestion was responded to, Li Changjin seemed very happy.
Chapter completed!
